Chapter 11 is all about the house

It's still a 3000 chapter, and it's recommended next week, thanks to the editor-in-chief of Zero and 4 groups! Brothers, awesome!

Looking at the chess pier on the table, Li Mobai appeared in front of his eyes an indifferent fame and fortune, elegant and funny old man, the old man is much older than his grandfather, once a famous chess player, professional sixth, exquisite chess skills, chess ethics are even more admirable, in the 80s during the exchange period, widely acclaimed.

Knowing that the young Li Mobai was good at chess, he was selfless and selfless, and he never charged any fees. And the chess pier in front of him, Li Mobai is very familiar with it, he has been seriously guided by the old man, and has talked with Old Man Liu many times, thus becoming a friend who forgets the year.

Before going to college, Li Mobai basically talked with Mr. Liu a few games every month, but after going to college, there were less, and then he studied in the UK for four years, and later the old man was older, Li Mobai was not good to bother the old man anymore. However, every time I go home, I go back to visit Mr. Liu, when Mr. Liu died of illness, he was far away in the UK, but he was not even able to attend the funeral of the old man, and he was always regretted by Li Mobai.

"You, do you know me?" The middle-aged man asked curiously, raised his eyes and looked at Li Mobai carefully, "Are you Xiao Li, Li Mobai?" Hey, I didn't even recognize it! The old man always said that you were the most talented young man he had ever met, and he regretted that you did not choose Go as a profession! ”

Liu Lao has instructed a lot of students before his death, and Liu Lao's son and grandson did not choose Go as a career, Go requires talent, and there are very few sons inheriting their father's business, so Liu Lao's son and Li Mobai are not familiar. The middle-aged man's name is Liu Wendong, he is the son of Liu Lao, and he knows Li Mobai, but he has hardly met him in recent years. After being introduced, I learned that the young man was Liu Lao's grandson, who was about to get married, but there was no marriage room, and the woman's family did not have a new house and did not marry a daughter.

This is Liu Wendong, who is in a hurry, is in a hurry, but he is still a big step away from the down payment of 200,000 yuan, seeing that the house price is rising day by day, he is optimistic about a house, this is not about to pay the down payment, but the money is not yet visible, how can he not be in a hurry! No, thinking about the chess set that my father asked to take good care of when he was dying, I thought that it might be worth a lot of money, so I remembered that there was an old neighbor's son who worked in an auction house, so I came to see if I could try my luck, and when I inquired, I knew that far water could not quench my thirst, so I was ready to go to another house to try my luck, and I just met Li Mobai.

Liu Lao was indifferent to fame and fortune during his lifetime, not like the crazy superstitious quince of the wood chess set, although he liked and cherished it, but he never cared about the value of the chess set, so as an outsider, Liu Wendong didn't understand, so he hugged Jinshan and didn't know.

"Uncle Liu, this is really a coincidence, do you think it's good, let Manager Chen help you estimate the price, and then I'll stay! In the future, if you have a lot of money and want to keep it as a souvenir, you can also redeem it at the original price, what do you think? Li Mobai said.

"Oh, how is this good, this doesn't quite fit, right?" Liu Wendong was a little pleased, and also said a little restrainedly.

"Hehe, Uncle Liu, don't be polite to me, everyone has an inconvenient time, besides, I also like Go, and I often used this set of chess games to talk with Liu Lao back then, and I have feelings!" Li Mobai smiled and said, but his heart was mixed.

"At present, in the Go circle, the quince chessboard is very precious, especially the hand-carved quince pier, which is even more rare because the quince is now protected by various countries and forbidden to be felled, and the chess pieces of the clam stone are also quite precious, of course, this is only for insiders; This set of chess sets, due to the orderly inheritance, and is a complete set of chess sets, according to the current market estimates, the starting price should be able to reach five or six hundred thousand yuan, if the publicity is good, it should be able to reach one million two hundred thousand yuan, since Mr. Li likes it, remove the handling fee, even if it is one million! The agent surnamed Chen thought about it and said, but he was thinking in his heart that he couldn't make this money anyway, since this young man wanted to buy it, then he would open a high price, which could be regarded as a favor for Brother Liu, and if it was too expensive, it could be discussed. It's just that he doesn't know that this set of chess sets is really worth this price, and it may even be higher.

What the agent surnamed Chen didn't know was that this set of chess sets was a real boutique, and when Liu Lao was in the exchange of books, he killed all sides, and the Chinese were happy, so he raised funds to buy a set of the top chess sets for Liu Lao, which were made by the famous chessboard carving master Ghost Head Juno, rather than the works of the three rounds of Jingfu and others that are now hyped by merchants. This chess pier is made of more than 500 years old to the original tree, after 18 years of drying, it was hand-carved by the master, the chess jar is also carved with the tree, the chess pieces are the favorite clams of Go lovers, of course, only Li Mobai knows the true origin and value of this set of chess sets, and the typical inheritance is orderly! Li Mobai didn't know the thoughts of the agent surnamed Chen, but this was a relic left by Liu Lao to future generations, but it was not easy to pick and omission, so he had to let the agent surnamed Chen sell it to Liu Wendong.

Liu Wendong and his son heard that it was one million, didn't this solve all the problems in front of them, but the price of this Manager Chen was too high, can Li Mobai afford it, seeing that Li Mobai did not speak, he said in his heart that the house prices that have risen every day are waiting for the rice to go to the pot, and if you don't buy it again, there will be no store in this village, don't scare people away, you didn't say that it was worth so much money in it just now, looked at the manager surnamed Chen, and hurriedly said: "Manager Chen, do you think the price is too high?" ”

"Well, Uncle Liu, although there is no name of master and apprentice between me and Liu Lao, but there is a master and apprentice, when I was young, I benefited a lot under the guidance of Liu Lao, and I also like this set of chess sets, Manager Chen's price is reasonable, although in China, this price is high enough, but if it is in the book, it is not high, then we will count it as one million and three hundred thousand according to Manager Chen, and it can be regarded as a little bit of my mind!" The agent surnamed Chen hadn't spoken yet, and Li Mobai said first. said this Liangtang, which not made Liu Wendong and his son feel at a loss, but also let them know that this set of chess sets was worth the money, rather than deliberately helping them.

"Ah, that's a lot!" Liu Wendong's son slurred and said in surprise, this price is several times higher than the price just said in the office! 1.3 million is enough to buy a big house with four bedrooms and two living rooms in Qincheng.

"Uncle Liu, if you still feel low, then I will advance a part of you, and then hand it over to Manager Chen for auction, when the auction does not exceed 1.3 million, I will add 50,000 yuan to the highest price to auction, if it exceeds 1.3 million, then I will forget it, your income has also increased, so what do you think?" Seeing that Liu Wendong didn't speak, Li Mobai said again. Although I like it in my heart, but after all, it is Liu Lao's family, and it is not good for people to feel that they have taken advantage, although this set of chess sets is definitely worth fifty or sixty million yuan, even if it is in Shanghai Yanjing, it can be auctioned for two or three million yuan, but Li Mobai does not want to be wronged, those high prices are produced under the impulse of fierce competition, and there is no comparable surname.

"Mo Bai, no, no, I do, you Uncle Liu, I'm so happy! You can't lose Mo Bai, since Manager Chen said one million, I think it's one million! Liu Wendong hurriedly said, even if it is auctioned, it may not be able to get 1.3 million, and there is a 10-15% handling fee, even if it is auctioned 1.3 million, you can't get so much. He glanced at Manager Chen with some gratitude, thinking that this person who works in the auction house is amazing, and his ability to talk about people and talk nonsense is simply easy to come by. But I have to thank Li Mobai even more, otherwise this chess set will really be sold as a brick elsewhere by myself, and if someone helps him, the more he can be too greedy, not to mention that Manager Chen didn't say that it was worth so much money just now, isn't this a clear slaughter.

The agent surnamed Chen, who was standing on the side, regretted it in his heart, why didn't he agree to auction tomorrow, the handling fees of both sides are hundreds of thousands, and the loss is big, and so is this Brother Liu, everyone thinks the price is low, but you are too high. This young man is also a person who burns more money, but his style of respecting teachers is admirable, maybe he is pretending to be a big-tailed wolf with his parents' money.

"Hehe, who made me like this set of chess sets, and this set of chess sets is worth so much money, just do as I say, let's sign a transaction agreement first, and then go to the bank to transfer?" Li Mobai said, he finally did what he could for Liu Lao, but his heart was quite heartbroken, it was really a good old and poor, what's wrong recently, the good things are surging? The money poured in Europe is about to bottom out, and it will have to be passed in the future.

Looking at Liu Wendong and his son who were excited, he said that Liu Lao's chess equipment left in the hands of Liu Wendong and his son is also a pearl in the dust, and they may not be able to maintain it well, but it is bad, and they can buy it at a large price It can be regarded as a memory of Liu Lao and respect for this set of chess equipment! But I can't help but feel a little uncomfortable in my heart, what kind of world, a mere house almost drove people to a dead end, and the relics of the old man can't be preserved.

Money, it's really a demon, it can make people go to heaven or hell, no wonder so many people take risks for money, so that they will never recover; But what about being indifferent to fame and fortune and having high morals, Liu Lao has been indifferent to fame and fortune all his life, but his descendants have even sold their own relics because of money!

Although he thinks so, he does not despise Liu Wendong and his son, maybe their father and son have a good life because of this money, and it is expected that it will not produce value there, it is not as important as improving their lives, Liu Laoquan will be happy if he knows it, right! But full of helplessness about this society, is the house so important, many people in Europe and the United States have never bought a house in their lives, don't they live very happily? Why is it that in the capitalist society, which is known as all evils, people live happily, while in the country that believes in Marxism-Leninism, people run around for money all day long and have no sense of happiness? Is the great Marxism-Leninism wrong?

Perhaps, it was a mistake in our interpretation, and we embarked on a wrong track at the beginning. Fortunately, the sober Deng Gong turned the tide and the building was about to fall. Although, our road is rough and stumbling, but, as long as there is hope, tomorrow will be better, isn't it?

Yes, with this money, Liu Lao's family has hope for the future.
