Chapter Ninety-Seven: What Are You Doing in England?
Other antiques can be sold to foreigners, but some Chinese antiques are still not sold by non-foreigners! Why don't these Western oil paintings be sold to foreigners?
At the beginning, foreigners took advantage of it, and it was rare to have some foreign things in China, "want to buy it?"
There are no doors, and the windows are closed!
At least in the hands of the agricultural curator, you foreigners don't want to buy a Western antique!
What I studied was Western archaeology, which of those things had historical and cultural value, and which ones had no flowers, Nong Bosheng could tell them at a glance. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½
But Zhang Nan is not worried that he will offer a sky-high price: the agricultural curator is a real expert in ancient culture and archaeology, and his knowledge is through China and abroad, but he values historical and cultural value, not monetary value.
If there is no important historical and cultural value, it is estimated that it is a Picasso painting, and he can't look at it!
Old pedant, that's all.
The two students of the curator here also came back, and the director of the agricultural curator and the others planned to leave, but in the end, Zhang Nan found that these people didn't seem to have booked a hotel yet, and they still had their simple luggage with them.
Jeanne opened two rooms in the hotel and booked a flight to Shanghai tomorrow.
Director Nong and the others originally wanted to pass through the land port, first to Pengcheng, and then back to Yongcheng. However, this kind of travel is tiring, and it is not conducive to the protection of cultural relics, and it is much more convenient to take a plane, so there is no refusal of good intentions.
The civil airport in Yongcheng has not yet been built, and the flight to Xiangjiang was opened in the 90s.
Early the next morning, the hotel sent several cars to Xiangjiang Kai Tak Airport with 8 people and a lot of packing boxes. Zhang Nan and the others are about to return to the United States, and the flight of Director Nong and others will also take off at about the same time.
"Then, Director Nong, if you have time, you have to come to Yan County as a guest, my brother-in-law often talks about you. ā
Zhang Nan said when they were separated in the waiting hall.
"Definitely! Xiao Zhang, I won't say much this time, when you come to Yongcheng, you will definitely not let you return empty-handed!"
The two sides said goodbye, and Nong Bosheng and the others saw that Zhang Nan and his group were walking through a special passage, and they themselves had to wait for a while.
The luggage had been checked in and was waiting for a break, when one of the students approached him: "Teacher, I just went to ask, that passage is a private jet lane." ā
Nong Bosheng just nodded, he had already explained to the students, so there was no need to say more.
"This Zhang Nan is not simple!" thought to himself.
ā¦ā¦
It was still the Falcon 900, and the crew also played in Xiangjiang for a few days.
However, this time they could not follow the original route and return to the United States in a hurry. Nicole had already contacted the airline to charter the plane for a few more days, and they would be in Hawaii for four days.
I was so tired that I was going to pass through Hawaii, so why didn't I rest for a few days?
Two days ago, Zhang Nan said this idea, and everyone agreed!
Even the pilots and others were happy when they learned about it: the owner of the chartered plane was responsible for the whole process of spending money in Hawaii, and it was a free tour.
In this way, Zhang Nan and others did not return to New York until May 3.
Everything is peaceful, and the stock market is not bad, but when he was in Hawaii, Zhang Nan was almost overwhelmed by three bikini girls (including the flight attendant).
If it weren't for Master Chen's reminder that it was best not to get close to women during this time, he would have turned into a werewolf!
I endure!
As soon as they arrived in the United States, Nicole and Jenny did not stop, one staring at the stock market, and the other preparing to run a company.
Zhang Nan felt that staying in a hotel was not an option, so he asked the bank to contact a real estate developer and bought a five-bedroom high-rise suite of about 2,500 square feet on the Upper East Side, where Manhattan's wealthy gathered.
24-hour doorman, you can also see the beautiful view of Central Park, and check in with your bag.
He also gave Nicole and Jenny the key, lest the two of them have to rent a house in New York - the rent of those high-end apartments in New York is not cheap, and it can make a white-collar worker on Wall Street live in dire straits!
As for Zhang Nan himself, he also had a stronghold when he came to New York.
The two girls are also interesting: it is not good to live in vain, and the two of them take the initiative to bear half of the property tax.
In the end, to understand the problem of real estate tax in the United States, Zhang Nan scolded his mother directly!
Complicated calculations don't keep you safe anyway!
It's okay to buy a small apartment, or a "bargain" in the suburbs, and it's okay to pay the annual fees for those small American farms, but this 280-square-meter high-end large suite on New York's Upper East Side, the property tax can give a headache to any rich person!
It doesn't matter how much money you buy -- if you count inflation, it's cheaper than the "famous luxury communities" in the first-tier cities in the 20s or so in China, and Zhang Nan doesn't care.
But!
"It's better to be in Huaxia, unless you encounter demolition, otherwise buying a house is basically yours for the rest of your life. This will pay a little sanitation fee or something at most, and some new communities may have a property management fee in the future, but there will be no annual property tax for decades. ā
After Zhang Nan figured out the situation, he sighed in front of the two beauties.
"Alan, what kind of house do you live in Huaxia now?"
Nicole couldn't help but ask curiously, she was curious about not having to pay property tax.
She didn't know that in another 20 years, the housing prices in Huaxia would make the world staggering!
"Oh, a small two-story house, built by myself, with a small yard. But when the hilltop villa is finished, I'll move there. When the time comes, I'll invite you and Jenny to come and visit. ā
When it came to buying a house and land, Zhang Nan seemed to have a problem, went to his room and took out a notebook and took a few looks.
Back in the living room, he asked the two beauties, "Which of you is more familiar with the UK?"
Jenny immediately said: "I, my grandmother is British, and I have some British relatives. ā
"Where?"
"Suffolk Shire. ā
When Zhang Nan heard this, he was overjoyed: It's a coincidence!
"Jenny, you arrange it as soon as possible, help me get my visa, and go to England with me as soon as possible, and go to Suffolk. ā
Now Jenny and Nicole are a little confused: what is he doing here?
"I like the English countryside and I'm going to buy a small farm or something over there, so I'm going to check it out. ā
Buying a farm as a British farmer?
Zhang Nan didn't have this leisure, but when he traveled to the UK, according to his habit, he visited the National Museum of England.
Later, I was particularly interested in a village in Suffolkshire, England - didn't you British burn down our Old Summer Palace, he also planned to make the British lose something!
Of course, not to burn down Buckingham Palace, but to do - his - old job.
But you don't just take the girls with you - one of the usual tricks of tomb robbers: rent the space first, and then do it slowly!
Zhang Nan bought it directly!
When you have time, as long as you buy the place, you will be fine in a few years.
It was a nice place, he liked it, and it was a good place to be a vacation.
Of course, it is the treasures there that are preferred.
(Revert to the status of two shifts a day.) The stiff neck is basically good, but people are catching a cold again, and the cold air has been moving south in a big way these days, and the power is very good! Book friends should increase their clothes in a timely manner. ļ¼
