Volume 1 Chapter 25 We have money now
Chapter Twenty-Five: We're Rich Now
"Two things", An Feng pointed to this apartment: "Mr. Zhou wants to entrust you to undertake the legal business of house sales, which is this house." As for me, I also think the surroundings are good, I love the street, especially the eleventh unit...... Hmm, why is it Unit 11, because Unit 11 has only two households, and there are only two households in one unit, which is really quiet.
I like to climb upstairs and downstairs to play, since there are only two families in the whole eleven unit, then one room is three floors up and down. I like the layout, I like to have so many houses...... Yes, I know I'm underage, so the house I purchased needs to be escrowed, and if you can be trusted, I can also trust the house to you.
Yes, there is no property for sale in Unit 11 at the moment, so I need a lawyer to keep an eye on it at all times, and I want you to contact them in time as soon as they want to sell the property......"
β¦β¦
When Dr. Chow returned home, he saw a pickup truck parked in front of his house, and Argyle was carrying his belongings from the truck alone. The goods on the car are very miscellaneous, there are food and drink, as well as bed sheets and bedding, etc., as well as decorative lamps and lanterns needed for Christmas, and so on. Dr. Zhou paused at the door of the house for a moment, but considering that Argyle couldn't ask anything, he had to shake his head and walk into his house.
The elevator in the corridor is very old, like a winch transporting bricks and cement on a domestic construction site. Such an elevator room is not completely closed, and as soon as the two iron fence doors are pulled, the elevator starts to run, and the sound of operation is more like a winch...... Dr. Zhou didn't know that he had the truth in an instant.
Sitting in a simple elevator, Dr. Zhou staggered to the top floor, and on the left hand of the elevator was his rented house, and the lawyer was waiting for him in the room, maybe it would not be long before he could buy the house...... Hey, why does this lawyer seem to be having a good conversation with An Feng?
When Dr. Zhou went home, An Feng had already done everything he had to do. In a matter of moments, he had convinced Steven Edmund to accept his offer to become his fund manager - so that An Feng's fortune would be at his disposal, without the permission of his legal guardian.
Next, Steven will come forward to discuss the transfer of custody with Argyle's aunt, as well as help An Feng pay attention to the sale of the eleven-unit house, and help An Feng deal with some chores...... A lawyer's professional ethics is to keep the confidentiality of his client. Therefore, An Feng did not say anything about these things, and Steven would not speak to Dr. Zhou.
In Dr. Zhou's view, although this lawyer is young, he is very simple in doing things, he spent a few minutes checking Dr. Zhou's documents, signed the entrustment agreement happily, and left without pause, so that Dr. Zhou waited for the other party to leave and felt incredulous: "This is the end?" It's that simple? β
An Feng was purely idle, and he still had the heart to ridicule: "What's wrong?" This kind of day that doesn't need to be stamped with an official seal, are you not used to it? β
Doctor Zhou smiled, and at this time, Argyle walked in with the last box of ingredients, and the guy from the delivery store followed closely behind, holding the delivery note in his hand and stuffing it directly to Dr. Zhouβhe probably thought that An Feng was too small to be the principal. "Sir, you have all the goods you want, do you need to count them?"
Doctor Zhou was a little stunned when he took the manifest: "Oh, Fengfeng, when I first entered the door, I wanted to say that Lan Yu greeted a few international students who had nowhere to go, and were ready to come here in a group to have a lively time." I think it's good for us to get to know more people when we're new to the city. Besides, the festival is just about being lively, so I invited them to play. Haha, I was about to tell you about this, but I didn't expect you to say a word, and you have already gone to the supermarket to buy things......"
Dr. Zhou looked down at the bill of goods and was slightly surprised: "It's so expensive, what did you buy?" β¦β¦ Forget it, so be it, I'll pay for it. β
Doctor Zhou said these words in Chinese, after speaking, he changed to English to thank the delivery man for his service, he looked very painful when he gave the tip, according to the habit of giving 15% of the consumption, An Feng bought something worth 4,000 pounds, and the tip was more than 600 yuan, which ...... He didn't do anything! The moving goods were all done by Argyll.
"Do you think it's necessary for me to spend enough for him?" Dr. Zhou asked An Feng in Chinese, "Is it okay not to give it?" β
"Just give him the fare", An Feng replied in English: "This is the delivery man in their store, and a tip of 100 pounds includes the fare and service charge." It's not in a bar restaurant, we don't need to tip according to the bar restaurant standard, and his service is not good, I am not satisfied. β
This is a guy who knows the inside story - the delivery man quietly rolled his eyes, honestly took the payment, and left.
Dr. Zhou looked through the things An Feng had bought, boxes of canned food, boxes of spices, dozens of bed sheets, underwear, socks, pots and pans, and all kinds of cleaning supplies, as well as a queen-size mattress, plus boxes of red wine and cigarettes...... He chuckled: "People often say, 'A poor family is worth ten thousand', and we have already spent four thousand yuan just to make up for the defects in our home...... Pound sterling. It's pounds! β
After saying this, Dr. Zhou hurriedly added: "However, with these things, the festival is enough...... Hehe, Lan Yu said that they would bring vegetables, and when the time comes, they will do it themselves, and we will just eat it. β
An Feng felt that he had better give Dr. Zhou a preventive shot first, and Lan Yu from the province came over and discovered the true value of those things, which caused Dr. Zhou's surprise and suspicion.
"I buy these things according to the sales list", An Feng continued in a relaxed tone of "this is not worth mentioning": "I think, since everyone likes to buy these goods, they must be good things, at least the most popular in the UK." Uncle Zhou, I won't see you for this little money. β
An Feng didn't tell Dr. Zhou that he was looking at the best-selling list of luxury goods.
"But, is it necessary?" Dr. Zhou was a little puzzled: "We are planning to rent out this house, is it necessary to change it to such good cooking utensils?" β
An Feng replied seriously: "Christmas discounts, these things are very cheap, even if they are not needed here, we can bring them to Leeds." β
Oh, Dr. Chow got it.
The joy that followed seemed to have nothing to do with the little ones.
In the evening, a group of adults came to this temporarily rented cottage to drink and party. Their show didn't have children's share, An Feng didn't even show his face, and took Argyle directly to the hotel.
The joy of adults lasted for several days, and it was not until the celebration of New Year's Day ushered in the New Year. In the meantime, Argyle's custody transfer has been successfully transferred, and Argyle's nominal guardian has become Lawyer Steven, who will arrange for Argyle to go to boarding school in Leeds, and the tuition will be paid for by a mysterious fund......
For An Feng and Dr. Zhou, the Soviet Union's "Christmas collapse" was the biggest holiday gift during the holiday season. This means that the strategy of "shorting the ruble" has come to a perfect end. After the news was confirmed, Dr. Zhou fell into an irrepressible ecstasy, and he immediately informed his family that he could pursue his girlfriend's (actually his wife's) departure from the country......
But these joys still have nothing to do with An Feng.
When the first rays of sunshine rose on New Year's Day, An Feng lay on the bed and sighed at the sun in the ice and snow. Argyle was sleeping on a mattress at his feet, and he was content in his dreams.
It's the New Year, and An Feng is one year older. And the end of "Desert Storm" is also a year away. This means that there is only one year left before the driver of the golden car is discovered.
It is a hassle to take away the golden car, and it will take at least half a year to cover up the traces of the car......
In this way, he only has half a year to pick up the goods, and the best time to pick up the goods is this summer. Otherwise, he could only see that huge amount of gold.
Fortunately, after the New Year, the income from "shorting the Soviet ruble" gradually recovered, and An Feng had the start-up capital to dig up the treasure. Coupled with Argyll's presence, he has a helper. Oh, and he also has a lawyer through which he can bypass his guardian and dispose of his money freely.
But...... Going to the desert to dig for gold is something that a child can't do. Several tons of goods, transportation and concealment need an adult to come forward, and he also needs an adult to help. But where to find an adult who is not greedy, has a strict mouth, and is not very curious?
Dr. Zhou is just that, he has begun to integrate into this environment, he will have his own career in the future, and it is impossible to accompany An Feng for a long time. Besides, this kind of person who knows An Feng's details to the extreme, An Feng himself still wants to hide, so as not to be taken care of one day.
Because of this, An Feng did not actively participate in the Christmas carnival of adults, he hoped to downplay his existence, hoping that Lan Yu and Lan Yu's friends could completely forget about him.
He only had half a year to find a cover man and find a chance to travel.
The latter is easy to say, the former is difficult.
Not to mention that in the face of a huge amount of gold, the accomplices are two children, and it is difficult not to be greedy. Let's just say that in the future, when the gold transport truck is exposed, and the murderous mercenaries flock into the desert to look around, the slightest leak of the news will attract a large number of bloody killers.
So this helper must be super bold, his usual mouth is super strict, and he can endure loneliness and be low-key and not show off...... How can such a person not succeed in what he does? Let a person who can become famous casually participate in this matter, is anyone willing? Even if he does, how much should he be given?
An Feng was very worried.
Fortunately, after the New Year, the exchange reopened. Slightly comforted An Feng's worried heart - originally An Feng thought that this speculation would have a 70-fold return, but he didn't expect that the ruble fell very badly and miserably, and countless "bulls" had begun to jump off the building, and in the end, An Feng's income exceeded expectations: he and Dr. Zhou each received more than 1 million pounds.
This money should be enough for excavation funds.
As soon as the money arrived, Dr. Zhou looked very excited: "Haha, I have seen the movie "Million Pounds" before, and we are really millionaires now...... A house is a hundred thousand pounds, a car is ten thousand pounds, and then, then what to do, what do you recommend? β
After this hype, Dr. Zhou was completely convinced of An Feng's digital capabilities.
Suggestion? What should we do now?
