Chapter 3: Coming Home
Go back to the hotel.
Ye Chen continued to count the things in the space hut.
Some rotten and tattered clothes. Also valuable are a pocket watch, a fountain pen, a foreign gun, a jade board, and an antique camera.
The jade board can be kept, and this thing can't be sold for a price in the United States.
Antique cameras and guns can be sold to antique shops. The pocket watch needs to be identified, and the style of this watch is very exquisite. Ye Chen checked the Internet and found that it was a Vacheron Constantin pocket watch, but it was not a particularly rare model, and it should be able to sell for hundreds of thousands now.
The fountain pen could be kept, the jade board was lost in the space, and the antique camera and foreign gun were sold to the antique store for 70,000 dollars.
The pocket watch was taken to Los Angeles to specialize in the appraisal of antique watches. This pocket watch is very well preserved, although it is not a particularly rare model, but there are few that can be preserved for more than 100 years. Sold for 970,000 ......
Waiting for the money to get in his hand, Ye Chen quickly disposed of the second-hand pickup truck in his hand and exchanged it for a first-class ticket to return to China.
I've been out there for ten years and I've never enjoyed the feeling of first class.
Now sit and sit comfortably.
Rongcheng International Airport.
It was already late afternoon when I got off the plane, and I stayed at a hotel near the airport.
The feeling of getting rich overnight, Ye Chen is still floating, as if in a dream.
There are 1.42 million US dollars and 340,000 yuan in the account, and when I go back to the mountain village, I can be regarded as a rich man.
After taking a shower, Ye Chen took out his mobile phone and clicked on the car website.
A sports car, a cool look, the perfect combination of speed and passion. If you are in the United States, the first thing Ye Chen thinks about when he is rich is to buy a sports car. Now, SUVs and off-road vehicles are the best options.
Thought about it for a night.
Early the next morning, Ye Chen went straight to the Jeep4S store.
"Looking at the car?"
As soon as I walked into the store, I was greeted by a beautiful salesperson.
"Look at the Wrangler. Ye Chen said.
The Wrangler is placed in the middle of the comparison, with four, two two-door versions and two four-door versions.
Ye Chen prefers the two-door version, but both are red, and Ye Chen likes black and white......
"Is the two-door version available in black and white?"
"Yes. If you're sure you want it, you'll be able to drive it by noon. ”
Ye Chen shook his head: "How much does this four-door version cost?"
"This car is a 2017 model, 3.6L, comfortable version, 473,000 yuan. ”
"Help with a temporary license plate, put a film on the car, and I'll drive later. Ye Chen said, the salesman was stunned for a moment, and quickly nodded.
"I have to go through the procedures for buying a car first...... I recommend that you install a dash cam, for safety reasons, you are afraid of meeting people who touch porcelain. ”
"Okay. Navigation, dash cam, reversing radar camera, everything that can be installed is installed. ”
Going through the formalities takes longer than looking at the car.
Ye Chen paid, got the invoice, went outside to eat a bowl of noodles, and then walked around and came back, the car had already been put on a temporary license plate, and the film was also pasted. Ye Chen went up to check it, and drove away after the handover.
The domestic development is very fast, and it looks the same for a few years.
Without navigation, Ye Chen can get lost in his hometown city, let alone Rongcheng, and he can't get out.
My home is in Chongshan City, and it is about an hour and a half drive on the highway.
Ye Chen bought a house in the city, renovated it, and has not been inhabited. Mom and Dad are on the farm, and they open a small supermarket in the town and live in the town.
To Chongshan City, get down from the highway and take the provincial highway for more than ten minutes to Qingshan Town.
Qingshan Town is an ancient town, and the Chong'e Provincial Highway passes through the town.
Qingshan Town is not as remote as imagined, and Qingshan High School is still one of the top five key high schools in Chongshan City...... Let's put it this way, Ye Chen knows, there are five Internet cafes in the town, understand?
Ye Chen's parents opened a supermarket in the town, Ye Qingshan Wholesale Department. Ye Qingshan is the name of Ye Chen's father......
Back in Qingshan Town, Ye Chen first went to the wholesale department to take a look.
There are Ye Chen's mother and Ye Chen's aunt watching the shop in the store......
"Mom. Auntie ......" Ye Chen parked the car at the door and shouted.
"Alas, Ye Chen. When did you come back?"
"Just came back. Ye Chen said with a smile.
Ye Chen's mother also heard Ye Chen's voice, and hurriedly came out: "You won't make a phone call when you come back." Your father and your aunt went to Rongcheng to buy goods, and they knew that you would come back today, and they would come to pick you up. ”
"Didn't you want to surprise you?"
"Surprise, back with girlfriend. ”
The corners of Ye Chen's mouth twitched slightly, and said, "I bought a trolley, and I won't leave when I come back this time." ”
Ye Chen's mother glanced at the car: "You have a lot of money and it doesn't dissipate, you have an SUV at home, why don't you sell a beautiful car." ”
"You know, this car is a Wrangler, an off-road vehicle, and an SUV are completely different things. Aunt Ye Chen looked at the front of the car and pulled Ye Chen: "Why did you come back alone this time?"
"Ouch, hey, you're the same as my mom. ”
"It's not about worrying about your life's events......" The aunt had to nag Ye Chen again, someone wanted to buy something, so she could only let him go for the time being.
Ye Chen pretended to yawn: "Mom, I'm tired, give me the key, go home and sleep first." ”
"As soon as you talk about you, pretend to be dozing off for me. Give ......"
The family lives in Shanshui Garden, a five-story garden community. Ye Chen's parents live on the fifth floor, the most marginal one, with a beautiful view of Mengshan Mountain.
The house here was 1,200 yuan per square meter when I bought it, and I heard that it has risen to more than 2,000 square meters now. In addition, there are three residential properties under construction in Qingshan Town......
In the community, each household has its own fixed parking space.
Ye Chen comes back once a year and knows his parking space. Park your car, pick up your luggage and head upstairs.
The development of the hometown is unexpectedly good.
Like a few years ago, the cars parked in their neighborhood could be counted on their fingers. Now, less than half of the parking spaces downstairs are empty. If it's night, the car should be full.
A house of more than 170 square meters, with three bedrooms and two living rooms. Ye Chen's house was in the direction with the widest field of vision, and when he opened the window, he was greeted by the mist-shrouded Mengshan Mountain Range. Ye Chen's hometown is deep in the mountains......
I went back to the house and cleaned up, lay down on the bed, and thought about future planning.
Stay in the city, go back to the countryside, and now so much money, how to invest.
Whether in the city or in the countryside, Ye Chen wants to get his hands on the dozens of acres of tea plantations left by his grandfather. Ye Chen's father is five brothers, Ye Chen's father is the eldest, and there are second uncles, third uncles, fourth uncles, and sister-in-law (little aunt) below.
Grandpa left suddenly, did not leave a will, and the issue of inheritance distribution was very unpleasant.
Grandpa's inheritance has more than 100,000 yuan in cash, and it has long been divided. A rural fire-brick house is worthless and can't be looked down upon. A few acres of paddy fields are managed by the fourth uncle who still lives in the countryside. The most valuable is fifty-one acres of tea plantations. Tea plantations were not worth much five or six years ago, but in recent years, the country's economic development has been getting better and better, and the tea market has opened up. The tea produced by the tea garden last year had a net profit of 60,000 or 70,000 yuan.
Except for the fourth uncle, including Ye Chen's father, he didn't really want to manage the tea garden, after all, he didn't live in the countryside anymore. But this tea plantation is worth ......
In the countryside, inheriting an inheritance, if the benefits are not big, it is fine, but once the interests are large, it will be particularly troublesome to divide them, and even if it is evenly distributed, it can involve many problems.
