Chapter Ninety-Eight: Almost a Bad Thing
Suffolk is a county in the east of England, England, bordering the North Sea to the east, and the countryside is particularly beautiful, mostly plain or gently hilly - just like the ordinary north-east of England countryside, with a few large oak trees popping up on the vast and soothing meadows and wheat fields.

Although Jenny was very curious about the boss's thoughts, she still helped her get a visa to the UK as soon as possible.
With a U.S. green card and people in New York, it is very convenient to go to the United Kingdom, and there is no need to make a big fuss.
On May 7, Zhang Nan, Jenny and Chen Zhanghua arrived in London on an ordinary flight.
But then things didn't go well, because when Zhang Nan finally found the small farm he wanted to buy, the other party didn't want to sell it.
But this time, Zhang Nan was clever: he asked Jenny to find a real estate dealer in Suffolk through a British relative, and the owner of the farm was approached by professionals.
You can't rush this matter, you can't rush it, you need to do bad things urgently!
Leave it to the professionals: real estate developers don't care why you want to buy a farm, they just do their best to pay the commission.
According to the professional's estimate, a process within two months could solve this problem for a maximum of 500,000 pounds.
The process is a variety of routines for real estate developers, and 500,000 yuan includes commissions. This price is slightly higher than the current market price, but as long as the small farm wins, all 500,000 yuan will be at the disposal of real estate developers.
There are generous commissions, and it's no wonder that the other party is not active.
"Maintain the original appearance of the house and the farmstead, except for the personal belongings of the original owner inside the house, nothing shall be changed!"
This is a clause that cannot be changed in a contract with a real estate agent before leaving the UK.
Moreover, once the farm is bought, Zhang Nan will also pay the real estate developer a maintenance fee every year to keep the farm running and the buildings on the ground in good condition.
He didn't have time to manage the farm, but when he arrived at the place two days ago, after seeing the scenery of the farm from afar, Zhang Nan really liked the place full of exotic idyllic scenery, just like a landscape painting painted by the great British landscape painter John Constable in the 19th century.
If you can come here for a period of time every year, away from the hustle and bustle of the city, you will probably feel better.
On May 13th, we set off for New York.
As soon as the damn 20-day "medicinal diet" passed, Zhang Nan was about to set off to return to China.
"Before August 1st, it must be sold off, no one remains! If there is no accident, I will also come to New York during that time, the company will be ready first, and the company will have a big move when it reaches 10!"
Before leaving, Zhang Nan reminded Nicole and Jenny again.
"Absolutely do your bidding, my boss!"
The answers of the two were a little in unison, but the tone was not serious and a little playful, no way, too familiar.
The three of them have lived under one roof these days, and although there has been no super-friendly relationship, it has reached a very delicate stage.
If Zhang Nan was willing, he could eat any of the two beauties in a short period of time, but he would die by himself: stuffing two people under one roof, he would have no chance to regret it!
Coupled with the fact that time waits for no one, he is in a hurry to return to Huaxia, and he will talk about it next time.
However, Comrade Zhang Nan is still quite confident: even if he leaves New York, these two American beauties must have themselves in their hearts!
Men's self-confidence, or self-confidence, is extremely inflated and bursting!
......
With several large boxes of treasures, I boarded the flight to Shanghai.
More than ten hours later, when the customs declaration, Zhang Nan was called an antique and artwork of astonishing value, which stunned the Huaxia Customs officers!
After a delay of more than three hours, even the leaders of the Shanghai Customs rushed to arrive! What was even more surprising was that an expert from the Shanghai Museum was also invited.
However, there is no such thing as the need to pay tariffs at all - the Chinese national treasures that have been lost overseas are welcome to return to the motherland!
Because of the time delay, Xiang Weirong, Guan Xingquan and Xiang Yongqiang, who had already been notified to arrive at the airport to pick up the airport, were also invited into the airport conference room to take a break: Zhang Nan didn't break the law, and he is still a patriotic overseas Chinese, of course, he can't let the person who picks up the airport worry about stupidity outside.
There was an episode in the middle that gave Zhang Nan a headache: because the packaging of several things was too large, everyone was in the conference room to unpack and check in person.
When I opened a large box with 9 long knives to check, looking at it, the expert from the Shanghai Museum cried with excitement!
I couldn't speak for a long time!
When he calmed down a little, the expert said to the customs leader: "Lao Wang, are all the people here reliable?"
That's almost a bad thing!
Guan Xingquan, who was just staring at the bag and checking it, instantly became more terrifying than the devil, and Xiang Weirong, who was still on the side, said: "Don't be impatient." ”
Guan Xingquan accepted it at this time, and Zhang Nan, who saw this scene, doubted that Guan Xingquan would burst out and kill people!
Brother-in-law and Brother Guan both knew that Zhang Nan would bring back a huge value of Chinese cultural relics this time, if something went wrong, even if there was no attack on the spot, the customs people would have to suffer a few.
The customs leader in Shanghai was not the museum expert who only engaged in research, and when he heard this, he hurriedly looked at the owner.
When he saw the calm Xiang Weirong and Guan Xingquan, who should be a special talent at first glance, he hurriedly said: "Several, we will definitely ensure the safety of your personal belongings." ”
The customs leader is a former officer who has retired from the army, and he knows that what the expert said is going to be bad!
"Can all the people here be relied upon?" -- when people hear it, they are likely to think that the customs and museums want to hack things here!
An overseas Chinese, to get back such a valuable Chinese cultural relics, can the background be simple?
Even if you don't have much background, if you dare to hack his things, as soon as you publicize it in the Western world, it is estimated that you will even have your own heart!
"Comrade Li, don't talk nonsense!"
The customs leader immediately warned the expert in a serious manner.
"Huh?"
The man was still at a loss.
Pulling the person aside and saying a few words, the expert realized that what he had just said had aroused the disgust of the owner.
"I'm sorry, I'm sorry! I'm just so excited to see it, I just said the wrong thing, I hope you can forgive me. ”
Experts explain again and again.
"I'm not that stingy, and it's not easy to collect these from abroad and bring them back to China this time. Seeing that the expert seemed to have something to say, Zhang Nan continued: "Wait a minute, I want to make a phone call first." ”
Calls are certainly available.
"Hey, Director Nong? I'm Zhang Nan, Xiao Zhang... Yes, it's passing through the Shanghai sh pass, it's a little bit of a problem... Okay, I told him to answer the phone. ”
Zhang Nan still didn't know what the expert surnamed Li thought, he directly asked the other party to avoid his respect-he had already donated three boxes of bamboo slips for free, and he wanted his precious Tang Dynasty horizontal knife?
Don't even think about it!
