Chapter 7 Family Changes
Cui Shiyan didn't mean to chase it, he breathed a sigh of relief, wiped the sweat on his forehead and said: "This ghostwriting is one of the most difficult to discern counterfeiting techniques, no wonder we all missed it, if this painting is really purchased for a million prices, if it is found to be fake, this black gauze hat on my head will fall off." Brother, you really saved my life. ”
"Senior brother is too polite." Zhao Zhuo hurriedly said, this is to thank Mo Ling, if it weren't for her, how would he know that this was a fake?
Professor Luo flipped through the booklet, looking at Zhao Zhuo's eyes with even stronger appreciation, he was amazed and surprised: "This is a reading book from the Ming Dynasty, and there are very few that have been passed down to the end, have you read it before?" ”
"Yes." Zhao Zhuo nodded vaguely.
Seeing Zhao Zhuo nodding, the doubts in the hearts of the two were solved, if they had read this booklet, they would naturally know that this painting was ghostwritten, and it was no wonder that Zhao Zhuo was so sure.
After all, the two of them couldn't believe that Zhao Zhuo had the eye to identify this kind of ancient painting at such a young age. Even in Professor Luo's view, although Zhao Zhuo has outstanding identification of ancient coins, the identification of this calligraphy and painting is much deeper.
However, no matter what, it was indeed because of Zhao Zhuo's presence that a crisis was resolved.
Cui Shiyan enthusiastically pressed Zhao Zhuo's shoulder and said, "Senior brother, thanks to you today, if you need my help in the future, just say." ”
Walking out of the museum, it was already more than two o'clock in the afternoon, Zhao Zhuo took a deep breath, not only did he not feel hungry, but he had a sense of excitement in his bones.
However, before his excitement had subsided, he received a call from his mother, who did not say anything on the phone, only told him to go home.
Zhao Zhuo vaguely felt something, and immediately called his friend Li Chengliang to help him ask for leave, and then rushed to the long-distance bus station.
Zhao Zhuo's home is in Mi County, a small county under the jurisdiction of Huaihai City, which has developed extremely rapidly in the past decade because it is located on a major transportation route connecting Huaihai City and several second-tier cities.
Zhao Zhuo's father is called Zhao Zhongzhong, and his mother is called Li Xue, both of whom are employees of the county auto repair factory, and they are holding the iron rice bowl of state-owned enterprises, which was envied by many people in the past. However, with the development of the economy and the entry of various private enterprises and foreign-funded enterprises, the efficiency of auto repair plants has plummeted.
In the end, Zhao's father and his wife discussed, borrowed some money from relatives, and set up a ceramic handicraft processing factory to produce some ceramic cups, tableware and other products, and gradually became prosperous and made a lot of money.
Then, Zhao Zhuo's family moved out of the staff dormitory of the auto repair factory and bought the building of the first elevator room community in Mi County at that time.
Zhao Zhuo also knows that his family has been very good in recent years, just look at the pocket money his parents give him.
However, his surname Ge has been very good at reading since he was a child, and he never spends the pocket money given by his parents, so although the school is only an hour's drive away from home, Zhao Zhuo does not run home every day, and only comes back on a long vacation.
Zhao Zhuo hurried home, and as soon as he opened the door, his mother's face was full of sorrow, he didn't have time to drink saliva, and hurriedly asked, "Mom, what's wrong?" ”
Li Xue hurriedly made a boo gesture and whispered, "Your father just fell asleep, come, sit down first." ”
When Zhao Zhuo sat down, Li Xue poured him a glass of water, sighed and said, "Child, your father's factory is bankrupt." ”
"What, broke?" Zhao Zhuo never expected that it would be such a serious matter, his body shook, and he couldn't drink the cup with it in his mouth.
Mo Ling had already followed Zhao Zhuo into the house, although she didn't know what this bankruptcy meant, but she knew that it must be serious by looking at the expressions of the two, so she obediently stayed in the room and listened silently.
Li Xue sighed lightly and said, "Your father is afraid that you will be worried, so he never let me tell you about the things in the factory." A few years ago, the business was not bad at the beginning of the factory, but in the past two years, there are more and more factories and enterprises in the county to do ceramics, and the sales of the things produced by our family have gradually decreased a lot, often making ends meet, your father borrowed a lot of money outside in order to support the factory, but this debt is accumulating more and more, and now there is really no way, the workers have been dismissed, and the factory has also made a mortgage. ”
Zhao Zhuo's brows furrowed deeply, he never expected that the situation at home would be so serious, and he was still complacent about making a little money, he comforted: "Mom, it's okay, let's start all over again, our family was not rich before, it's a big deal to sell this house and start from scratch!" ”
Li Xue nodded, touched Zhao Zhuo's head and said, "Mom knows that you are a good child, but no matter how poor our family is, we will definitely provide you with the ability to finish college." ”
As soon as these words fell, I heard a knock on the door from outside the door: "Knock-knock-" was loud and piercing, as if someone was slamming the door with a hammer.
"I'll open the door." Zhao Zhuo frowned, walked over and opened the door, and saw several men standing outside the door.
The knock on the door was a tall man of twenty-seven or eighteen, with a flat head and a wide face, who was very athletic, wearing a black suit and looking like a bodyguard.
In addition to him, there were three companions in black suits, all of whom looked fierce and vicious, and only one man was in his forties, with a fat head and big ears, and a finger-thick gold necklace around his neck.
The fat man only glanced at Zhao Zhuo, then set his eyes on Li Xue, and grinned: "What about your old Zhao?" ”
"Boss Lin, do you have anything else? The factories have been mortgaged to you. Li Xue stood up and said.
"Factory?" As if listening to a joke, Boss Lin walked in wantonly, sat on the sofa, and pouted at the tall man, only to see the tall man take out a document from his briefcase and hand it to Li Xue.
Zhao Zhuo also leaned over to take a look, and saw that this was an asset appraisal book, which was full of information about the appraisal of his own ceramic processing factory, including the plant and various equipment, and the total assets added up were only 800,000.
Li Xue looked angry, and was about to speak, but saw a pair of big hands take the evaluation book, but it was Zhao Zhongzhong, who came out of the back room at some point.
Zhao Zhongzhong, who is in his forties, is only 1.7 meters tall, but his perennial car repair profession has made his body very strong, and his eyes are bright on his square face, and he can't see any sense of despair.
"Huh, 800,000? That assembly line in the factory alone is worth 500,000 yuan, and your appraisal price is only 200,000 yuan! Lin Baixin, we have been old friends for many years, and you treat me like this? Zhao Zhongzhong scolded in a deep voice.
Lin Baixin had no shameless expression, and said lightly: "Private friends are private friends, business is business, this appraisal is made by the best appraisal company in the city, Lao Zhao, if you don't believe it, you can go to re-evaluate." Speaking of this, he deliberately dragged out a long voice, "However, this assessment fee is not low." ”
What the Zhao family lacks now, what they lack is money, even the factory is mortgaged, where is the money to go to the company for reassessment. Seeing Lin Baixin fall into the well, Zhao Zhuo's heart suddenly rose with anger, his fists clenched tightly, and he couldn't wait to rush up and punch him.
Zhao Zhongzhong pointed at Lin Baixin and said: "Okay, you Lin Baixin, I really misjudged you, let's say, what do you want?" ”
"It's very simple, you owe me three million, it's not enough to bet on this factory, I see that your house is not bad, so let's bet together." Lin Baixin said with a smile, his eyes narrowed into a slit couldn't hide his greed.
"Three million?" Zhao Zhuo was taken aback, he originally thought that the factory would have no other debts if it was mortgaged, but he didn't expect to owe a huge amount of money like three million, even if Lin Baixin didn't make a fuss about the evaluation, the small factory at home was estimated to be not worth this price.
Zhao Zhongzhong looked at Lin Baixin coldly, and a few words burst out of his teeth: "Then how much is this house worth?" ”
"At market prices, 500,000." Lin Baixin said, motioning to the big man next to him to take out the real estate mortgage book.
"Half a million?" Zhao Zhongzhong sneered, "According to the current market price, it can be sold for at least 700,000." ”
"Really? But you may not be able to sell it at this price. Lin Baixin's face sank, and he said meaningfully, "Lao Zhao, I am a civilized person, and I also hope that you know a little bit about current affairs, and don't force me to use uncivilized means." ”
As soon as he said this, the fierce expressions on the faces of several bodyguards became even thicker.
"Dad, we can't say that." Zhao Zhuo hurriedly said.
Zhao Zhongzhong took a deep look at his wife and children, picked up the real estate mortgage book, took a cursory look at it, signed his name on it, and then threw the document on the coffee table, and said in a deep voice: "It's okay now, right?" ”
"Lao Zhao is really a cheerful person." Lin Baixin laughed, picked up the document and flipped through it, nodded and said, "Then the matter is settled, if you can't pay back three million within three months, then your factory and this house will belong to me, and in addition, you have to pay me one million and seven million." ”
Speaking of this, he paused again, glanced at the three of them deeply, and said, "Lao Zhao, you'd better not run away, otherwise I can't guarantee what happened to your family." ”
Seeing Lin Baixin arrogantly leaving, Zhao Zhuo said angrily: "Dad, this person is so hateful, why did you sign that real estate mortgage?" ”
Zhao Zhongzhong sat on the chair and took a sip of water before saying, "Do you know who this Lin Baixin is?" He is not only a well-known real estate developer here, but I heard that he is also connected with **, if I don't sign this, what if he does it to you? ”
Li Xue pulled Zhao Zhuo and said, "Son, don't worry, your father and I will definitely pay off this debt, you can study with peace of mind, don't think about it." ”
After speaking, Li Xue helped Zhao Zhongzhong, who was a little tired, back to the room, Zhao Zhuo sat alone on the sofa, his teeth grinding and clicking, how could he let his parents bear such a huge debt? He subconsciously set his eyes on Mo Ling.
