During the car dealership, Di Bao smiled and said: "If Yan Gongzi likes it, you might as well buy it, the villain can be a middleman, and the price package is satisfactory to you." "He is a comprador, of course, he must be a good friend of the owner of the Inviting Garden.

Yan Saburo was slightly surprised: "The Zhou family's mansion is going to be sold?"

"The Zhou family also hit the evil spirit, Zhou Dahu died inexplicably, and the business suddenly went bad again in the past two days. Hey, the Zhou family seems to be a big business, but it will be stormy in a blink of an eye. ”

"Business?" Yan Saburo became interested, "What's wrong with his business?"

"The head of the Zhou family is engaged in ocean-going business, and there is a fleet in the West Sea, and I heard that there are more than 100 ships, so they buy all kinds of luxuries from the open sea, and then sell them on land. This transaction was originally extremely risky, and the wind and waves in the open sea were unpredictable, and ships were destroyed and people died at every turn. But the Zhou family has always done smoothly, and few have heard of losing money. As a result......" Jibao shrugged, "The day before yesterday, the news from the sea came, and the Zhou family's fleet was completely annihilated. ”

"None came back?"

"There was a storm, and none of them survived. Dibao smiled, "More than 100 ships have sunk to the bottom of the sea. The Zhou family also borrowed a loan, and the loss of this part is incalculable, not to mention that it is a large amount of money to compensate the families of the crew. ”

Small boats cannot withstand strong winds and waves, and the ships that can go out to sea and ocean are large, with at least 30 people on one boat, and thousands of crew members on more than 100 boats.

The pension fee for a few thousand people is not a small amount, and it is difficult for even Yan Saburo to take it out at once - the money and silver have been taken out recently to buy an industry, and the Zhou family's business scale is much larger than his.

Businessmen are always short of money, how can they have so much cash flow in their hands? Not to mention that ten businessmen have nine loans, and it is the most terrible thing to lose all their money, and they have to repay the money with interest!

"There have been bad luck in his family recently......" Speaking of this, the carriage also drove to the gate of Zhou's house, and the local security didn't mention it, and asked Yan Saburo to get off.

The façade of the Zhou family is of course magnificent, and the ebony door is as high as two zhang, indicating the status and identity of the owner. But now there is only an old porter, listless.

The reason why the local security took Yan Saburo to pass through Zhou's house was very straightforward: to see the house.

"When was it put up for sale?"

"It was yesterday. Di Bao said with a smile, "You also have long legs, and few people know the news, otherwise there will be a lot of people who come to see the Zhou family's house!"

"How much?"

"Twenty-seven thousand. Di Bao raised two fingers, "His family is short of money, if you take a fancy to it, I am sure to cut you another 20,000 taels." ”

Speaking of buying and selling real estate, Yan Saburo is very familiar with it, so he just smiled slightly and didn't answer.

At this time, a middle-aged woman came to meet her, with luxurious clothes and a good face, but unfortunately her face was haggard.

According to the local protection, this is Mrs. Du, the widow of Zhou Dahu.

Mrs. Du had heard that it was the owner of the Invitation Garden who came to see the house today, and it was a rich and powerful master, so she cheered up.

Yan Saburo let the land stay in the hall to eat tea, and he and Mrs. Du went for a walk.

In all fairness, the Zhou family's mansion is indeed good. Garden covered bridges, pavilions, towers, pavilions, and pavilions can be seen everywhere with ingenuity. That kind of well-tended elegance and charm is by no means comparable to the temporary decoration of the outbreak.

Yan Saburo couldn't help but praise while taking a closer look: "This house has been repaired for many years." ”

"Isn't it?" Mrs. Du sighed, "The Zhou family's mansion has been around for more than two hundred years. At first, it was bought from a wealthy businessman, and then it was renovated by three generations of the Zhou family, and it took 35 years to complete. Every detail you see is the result of little by little meticulous workmanship. ”

This kind of wealthy mansion has been repaired for decades, and it is not uncommon for grandparents and grandchildren to relay for several generations. Yan Saburo's own residence in the Invitation Garden, the renovation period is also as long as a hundred years.

Well, the maintenance of a mansion is a waste of money and effort. Poor people don't say they bought it, but they can't even afford to repair it.

Hearing this, Yan Saburo understood that Zhou Dahu was a hereditary wealth.

While traveling in the house, the teenager commented on it.

His reviews are on point, not empty praise. Mrs. Du has lived here for more than ten years, and listening to him so inconspicuously and elegantly makes her feel much more comfortable.

This is the hard work of the Zhou family for several generations, and she also hopes to entrust it to buyers who have a vision and know how to care.

Yan Saburo waited for her brows to stretch before she took the opportunity to ask: "Mrs. Du, take the liberty to ask a few more words." The Zhou family is also a big family, why is it suddenly in a hurry?"

Mrs. Du pursed her lips.

In the past few days, she has been tormented by this matter, she can't eat well or sleep well, and she really doesn't want to mention it again. But since the owner asked, she couldn't refuse to answer.

"My family's fleet has an accident in the Western Sea. None of the goods that should have been brought back could be docked. Mrs. Du said quietly, "The goods of more than 200,000 taels of silver were lost in one fell swoop." ”

Yan Saburo was slightly shocked: "Mr. Zhou is very courageous, and he dares to take so many goods at one time." ”

"The Zhou family's fleet in that channel is too proficient, and the captains are experienced, so they won't make a mistake even if they close their eyes. Mrs. Du replied, "And the West Sea is calm in January, and bad weather is rare." In the past 30 years, the Zhou family has not encountered any problems when they walked to the West Sea in January. The grandson was sure that there would be no accident this year, so he told the ship to be fully loaded. ”

"You also know that my king's wedding is imminent, and Shengyi will be lively for at least half a year, all industries will be prosperous, and the goods will be easy to sell. Mrs. Du's eyes were red again, "Who, how do you know that he suddenly has chest paralysis, and the ship and fleet have also sunk!"

"Obviously, in that season, the West Sea is calm!"

Even for a big family like the Zhou family, the loss of more than 200,000 taels of silver is unbearable. What's more, the more than 100 ships themselves are also large assets, as well as thousands of lives on them......

Yan Saburo sighed: "I'm afraid it's not easy for the family to settle there." ”

"Isn't it!" Mrs. Du suddenly became excited, "My family has paid double the bereavement compensation according to the rules of the industry, and they are not satisfied." Yesterday, a mother-in-law came to the door and asked us to pay 800 taels to her son!"

"Eight hundred taels, why didn't she go to the street to rob openly? We couldn't give it, so she splashed dirt on the door of my house. She sneered and plucked her tears from her eyes, "It's not just her family who has died!"

The Zhou family didn't care about this little money, but there were sudden difficulties in turnover, and now they lacked emergency money.

Mrs. Du turned on the crazy spit mode, and Yan Saburo had to listen silently.

Chitose teased in his ears: "What are you doing with this?

Truly. He couldn't agree with Chitose's words and poked the hornet's nest.

"This level must be passed. Yan Saburo coughed a few times, and his voice was dry, "Jiren has his own natural appearance." He didn't even know what he was talking about.

Mrs. Du smiled bitterly without thinking about it: "This level? Alas, it would be nice if there was only this level!"
