Chapter 436: The Murderous Mansion (Asking for Subscription, Asking for a Monthly Pass)

The plane slowly landed at New York's John F. Kennedy International Airport.

Ji Cheng and the others were on the plane at 7 o'clock yesterday morning, and there was a transfer in the middle, and it was already 1 o'clock in the afternoon of the next day.

"Ouch, this is New York?"

"There are a lot of foreigners."

“…… Mr. Cheng, it seems that we are foreigners here, right? ”

"It doesn't feel much different from the airport in the magic capital, it's just that it's all foreigners."

"Teacher Zhen, you've been to the beautiful country, let us introduce where it's more fun here?"

Ji Cheng and his entourage of more than 20 people chattered as soon as they got off the plane.

Ji Cheng did not participate in the dialogue between Zhen Guoliu, Master Cheng and others, but chatted with Manager Li, the person in charge of Golden Deer Company who accompanied him, "Let's stay in New York for half a day today, and fly to Savannah tomorrow to watch the plane?" ”

"I have contacted Gulfstream Aerospace, and the time they arranged is to see the plane in the afternoon of the day after tomorrow, and we can just fly over the morning after tomorrow, and we will not lose time." Manager Li is a middle-aged man in his forties, who is relatively fat, and his smile is like that of Maitreya Buddha, which makes people feel very kind, "Just this afternoon and tomorrow, I can be a guide for you and have a good walk around New York." ”

As soon as Ji Cheng heard that he was so familiar, he knew that it was not the first time he had encountered this situation, so he said with a smile: "Then Manager Lao Li will take the people in my company to go shopping, and it just so happens that I and Mr. Cheng have something to do and want to go out." ”

If ordinary people would probably ask more questions about what are you doing, but Manager Li is so good that he didn't ask any questions, so he agreed: "Cheng, Mr. Ji, you can go and be busy, and I will arrange for others to play and shop." ”

"Thank you." Ji Cheng said politely.

After a while, everyone got into a taxi.

Along the way, everyone looked curiously out of the car window, and they must have been curious when they came to New York for the first time.

In the time and space of modern society, although Ji Cheng is also here for the first time, he glanced at it casually and found that the time and space of New York in the current era and the eighties have not changed much, except that they look more modern, most of the buildings were what they were before and what they are now.

For example, the Krysler Building, such as the Empire State Building.

After some driving, come to the Four Seasons Hotel New York, one of the most luxurious five-star hotels in New York.

Ji Cheng is also the first time to come, and there was no hotel in the eighties.

I have to say that this hotel is indeed very luxurious from the outside, with a towering lobby, marble floors and columns, luxury reveals low-key and subtle, and an elegant atmosphere is permeated.

The high-rise rooms are said to overlook Central Park and the Hudson River.

However, Ji Cheng has important things to do, and he has no time to distinguish the real from the fake.

As soon as he sent his luggage into the guest room, he called his father, Master Cheng and Cheng Hailin to leave the team together.

……

Taxi.

The driver was a black man who couldn't tell if he was forty or fifty, "Where are you going?" ”

"Is there a pawn shop in the 71st Street neighborhood?" Ji Cheng asked.

"Yes."

"Okay, let's go there."

The black driver was quite reticent, not as talkative as other black people.

Master Cheng, who was sitting in the back row, was stunned for a moment, "Boss, have you ever been to New York?" How I feel familiar to you. ”

Lao Ji snorted over there, "This kid peeked at my letter." ”

"Old boss, what letter?" Cheng Hailin was curious.

Lao Ji's face was scornful, and he hurriedly said, "It's nothing, it's nothing." ”

Ji Cheng didn't expect his father to say this information, so he turned his head and blinked and asked, "Qin Xiaohui shouldn't live on Seventy-first Street, right?" ”

"You don't know?" Lao Ji was stunned.

I'll go!

It's really a special fate!

Ji Cheng's villa in the 80s was bought on 71st Street in Manhattan, but Qin Xiaohui and Zhu Licheng in this time and space also lived there after they got married?

Lao Ji was obviously reluctant to talk about this matter in front of Master Cheng and others, and Han Hu's words were confused.

Ji Cheng didn't continue to ask, just chatted with everyone casually along the way about where to go later.

Soon, the car stopped in front of a pawn shop.

Ji Cheng paid the fare and took his father, Master Cheng, father and son down.

He didn't immediately approach the pawn shop, but took a closer look.

This is a very small pawn shop, it is indeed not much different from what Cheng Hailin said, the area should not exceed fifty square meters, but in this small place, it is actually crowded with customers.

Judging from the clothing, these so-called customers should be people with quite good economic conditions, such as the man at the door wearing a boss red label high-end suit, which is the brand's highest level of clothing, look at this style, estimated to be more than 1,000 US dollars a set, the average beautiful Chinese are really reluctant to buy, after all, New York even now has a per capita income of only more than 60,000 US dollars a year, plus the consumption here is very high, and the price of renting a house is more than 2,000 US dollars, not high-income people are really reluctant to buy such expensive clothes.

It's just a high-income person, why do you want to come to a pawnshop to be something?

I am puzzled.

Cheng Hailin suddenly pointed at the man and said, "Boss, do you think this white man looks like a social elite?" ”

"Well, so I'm a little confused, why do high-income people still come to pawn shops? Isn't the pawnshop in the pretty country a poor man's bank? Ji Cheng asked.

Lao Ji and Master Cheng also wondered.

Cheng Hailin smiled and said: "You don't know this, generally this kind of person has a lot of income before, and often goes in and out of high-end places, but because of unemployment, or other reasons, the temporary economic difficulties, I have to take out brand-name jewelry, watches, these are painful to cut love, I don't believe you have a few words in the past." ”

Ji Cheng stepped forward to greet the white man with curiosity, "Hello, sir." ”

The white man looked sideways and smiled reluctantly, "Hello." ”

Ji Cheng blinked his eyes and said, "I think you dress a bit like you're engaged in the financial industry?" ”

Speaking of this, a glimmer of brilliance bloomed in the white man's eyes, "I used to be a securities broker at Merrill Lynch. ”

Needless to say, I understand the rest.

It's really not different from Cheng Hailin's analysis.

You must know that Wall Street securities brokers earn very much, with an average annual salary of more than 400,000 yuan, and this is not counting bonuses, according to the data report, the bonus of Wall Street securities practitioners reached 220,000 US dollars last year, so you can imagine how high this white man earned before he lost his job.

[I looked at my father Jackie Chan in 1988] 【】

I want to continue to talk to him.

But it was the man's turn to pawn something.

Ji Cheng simply didn't say anything, and watched the transaction with Master Cheng and the others.

The shopkeeper was a chubby, bearded bald man, "Man, what are you going to mortgage?" ”

The white man took out a small box and opened it, revealing a Rolex watch that looked a bit like a green ghost.

The bearded bald boss seemed to know a lot about watches, and after inspecting and looking at the proof of purchase, he gave a price of seven thousand dollars for a period of two months, and the interest rate was four percent, that is, the man had to pay two hundred and eighty dollars in interest every month.

The man took the money and left.

Ji Cheng and Master Cheng have been watching here for a while, maybe this side is close to the rich area, so the quality of the pawned things is good, at least a few hundred dollars, and more than tens of thousands of dollars.

Originally, he was ready to leave.

The bearded bald boss suddenly called out to Ji Cheng, "Sir, do you want to mortgage something or buy it?" ”

Ji Cheng saw that there was a beautiful diamond bracelet on the cabinet behind him, stretched out his finger and asked, "How much is this bracelet?" ”

The bearded bald boss immediately took the thing down, and then handed over the appraisal report, "This is a Cartier love bracelet, inlaid with four diamonds, with 18k gold, the market price is about 11,000 US dollars, of course, I am a pawn shop here, and the price of selling it to you is definitely not so expensive, if you want it, it is 4,000 US dollars." ”

Although this is a second-hand bracelet, the price has dropped by almost two-thirds at once, and Ji Cheng can't help but secretly speak.

Cheng Hailin was happy to see that Ji Cheng was very interested, and took the initiative to bargain: "Four thousand dollars is too expensive, cheaper." ”

"When I received it, it was 3,500 dollars, which is really cheap." The bearded bald boss complained.

Cheng Hailin seems to know a lot about the pawnbroking industry in the beautiful country, "Hey, man, when you collect this bracelet, it will be at most two thousand eight to three thousand dollars, and it can't be three thousand five, if you want, I will pay three thousand five hundred dollars to buy it, and I don't want us to go to other pawn shops to see if there is anything else." ”

As he spoke, he glanced at Ji Cheng.

Ji Cheng understood, pretending to pull his father and Master Cheng out.

The bearded bald boss hurriedly called out to them, and hesitated for a moment, "Okay, three thousand and a half dollar deal." ”

Ji Cheng paid the bill very happily, and it was not a loss at all to buy a diamond bracelet with a public price of more than 11,000 US dollars for 3,500 US dollars.

There are a little fewer people in the pawn shop at this point.

Maybe Ji Cheng just bought a diamond bracelet, and he chatted with the boss while he was paying.

"Dude, you're here for a tour?" The bearded bald boss has good eyesight.

Ji Cheng didn't talk nonsense, "Well, tourism is on the one hand, and on the other hand, I want to see if there is any business worth investing in, and if possible, I will buy a house here in Manhattan." ”

The bearded bald boss's eyes lit up, "You're going to buy a house in Manhattan?" ”

Ji Cheng does have this plan, provided that he really buys a pawnshop here, "What?" ”

The bearded bald boss rubbed his hands with a smile, "I happen to have a mansion for sale here, are you interested in going and seeing?" ”

[I looked at my father Jackie Chan in 1988] 【】

Ji Cheng was stunned for a moment, and asked rhetorically: "Isn't the beautiful country pawnshop generally not engaged in real estate business?" ”

"There are states that don't pawn real estate." The bearded bald boss recognized Ji Cheng's words, "However, in our New York State pawn law allows real estate, but it generally takes five years to recover the cost after the absolute, so few people will do the business that occupies the capital, this suite is a bit special, it was collected when I first entered the industry before the subprime mortgage crisis in 08, at that time I didn't know much about pawns, thinking that real estate must make money, who knows that it was smashed in my hands, and it almost didn't bring down my capital chain, if you want it, I can sell it to you cheaper, mansion." ”

Ji Cheng said speechlessly: "You haven't sold the house for more than ten years, is there something wrong with the house?" ”

The bearded bald boss said honestly: "This is a murderous house, I also bought it at a cheap price at that time, I originally thought that the house should be sold well in the rich area of Manhattan, but who knew that the rich people raised by the son of a bitch were not interested in the murderous mansion at all, so they have been pressed in their hands for more than ten years." ”

Cheng Linhai rolled his eyes, "The murderous house doesn't buy it, why should we buy it?" ”

Ji Cheng also smiled and shook his head, "That's it, why should I buy the murderous house?" ”

"It's cheap!" The bearded bald boss sold as much as he could, "Similar luxury houses on the market are sold for at least $30 million, and if you want, I can sell them to you for $10 million." ”

Cheng Hailin was taken aback, "Ten million dollars? ”

Although Ji Cheng was not frightened by the price, he was also stunned for a moment, a $30 million house was only sold for $10 million? How fierce is this murderous house!

At the thought of this, he lost interest at all, "I'm sorry, I'm not interested." ”

"Okay." The bearded bald boss replied regretfully, and sighed: "Originally, this mansion is nearby, if you are a little interested, I can take you to see it, alas, but also, this house has had more than one homicide, and ordinary people are really not interested." ”

Cheng Hailin really rolled his eyes this time, "More than one homicide?" ”

Master Cheng and Lao Ji stood by and watched with a confused look because they couldn't understand English.

The bearded bald boss said: "It is said that the first homicide was in 1989, when the male owner of the house drove out at night and was hit and killed, and the police investigation was an accidental traffic accident, but later a Chinese couple moved in, found some strange things from inside and called the police, and then the police re-investigated, only to find that it was a homicide, as for the second Chinese couple, it is said that the woman's entire human skin was stripped off by the man, the scene is very bloody and terrifying, There are two more homicides ......"

The bearded bald boss didn't finish his words, but Ji Cheng was stunned!

In 1989?

The man drove out and was hit and killed?

And this is Seventy-First Street again?

I, Nima, can't it be the mansion I bought in the 80s?

Ji Cheng hurriedly interrupted and asked, "Is that house less than half a mile to the west?" ”

"Huh? You know? The bearded bald boss said happily: "Yes, do you want to go and see?" ”

[I looked at my father Jackie Chan in 1988] 【】

If it was really his own house, let alone go and see it, Ji Cheng would definitely buy it without saying a word, because it directly corresponded to his mansion in the eighties, and he could brush up on his energy unscrupulously.

"Take me to see it." Ji Cheng desperately wanted to know if it was the house.

Cheng Hailin was stunned and said, "Boss, you also want to see the murderous mansion?" ”

Because he used Mandarin this time, Lao Ji and Master Cheng understood, and the two hurriedly asked what was going on.

Cheng Hailin roughly explained the situation.

Lao Ji and Master Cheng were drenched in cold sweat after hearing this, they were obviously frightened by this murderous mansion, and they also persuaded Ji Cheng again and again.

But Ji Cheng felt that it might really be his mansion, and because that house was a murderous house, ordinary people didn't dare to go there, wasn't it the best place to brush energy? How could he not be tempted?

"Okay, I can't run away here, I'll call my wife and take you to see it." The bearded bald boss couldn't understand Huaxia, he didn't know that everyone was persuading Ji Cheng, and he thought they were discussing how the house was, so he took out his mobile phone and dialed his wife's phone immediately.

Although Lao Ji, Master Cheng and Cheng Hailin were still persuading themselves, Ji Cheng was resolute and had to go to see if it was the house.

To his disappointment, the bearded bald boss hung up after only a few words on the phone, and then told him: "Sir, I'm sorry, my wife just negotiated with someone else, and the mansion was sold to someone else." ”

I pedal a horse!

Sold?

Ji Cheng asked a little reluctantly, "Can you tell me the house number?" ”

The bearded bald boss didn't think much about it, and said casually: "No. 88 Seventy-first Street." ”

Wozh!

It's really my house!

Ji Cheng was very entangled all of a sudden, he really wanted to buy this murderous house, after all, he could brush up his energy unscrupulously, but now that the wife of the bearded bald boss has signed a contract with someone else, he doesn't seem to have a chance to win this house.

What to do?

He is unwilling to miss such a good house for brushing energy!

Ji Cheng pondered quickly in his head, and really thought of an idea, he felt that if he could meet with the buyer, and then give a certain high price, maybe he would have a chance to get the house, as for whether this would work, he didn't know for the time being, but such a huge temptation was in front of him, Ji Cheng would definitely try it.

Thinking about it, he said directly to the boss: "Can you arrange for me to meet with your wife's customer who bought a house?" I really want to buy that house, and I'm willing to pay you if you're willing to help, okay? ”
