My 1999

Chapter 1038 Yan Family Manor

"Mr. Xu, these two camphor trees were already there when our grandfather Yan Qingxiang purchased this manor. They are more than a hundred years old and very rare."

"It is indeed a good thing."

I didn't go to see the gatehouse on the left side of the gate. It is now mottled and in disarray.

The garden path in the middle has traces of cleaning, but you can still see the remaining rotten leaves.

Enter the manor along the garden path.

Looking around, I couldn't help but frown.

The original lawn has been completely swallowed by various weeds.

Especially now it is midsummer.

The weeds taller than people are like a thick green carpet that blocks all sights.

In front of the main building of the manor is a small square paved with stones, about 100 square meters.

It is bare and there is nothing on it.

The exterior of the main building of the manor is composed of river pebbles dry-pasted walls, and the roof is a steep slope roof with machine-made flat tiles, which is simple and elegant. The crimson roof tiles shine in the sun, contrasting with the two century-old camphor trees in the courtyard.

The only drawback is that due to years of disrepair and lack of maintenance, many places are already mottled and need repair.

Xu Liang did not enter the villa, but went around to the back from the corridor next to it.

It is really a vibrant back garden.

In the pond of about two or three acres, water plants and lotus leaves complement each other, and wild flowers and weeds complement each other.

The rockery is mottled, and the top is piled with dead branches and leaves.

Shrubs of all sizes grow wantonly, occupying every inch of space that can be covered as much as possible.

The trees in the corner are covered like clouds, covering a piece of shade while taking away the heat.

The original pavilion roof has collapsed, and only a few pillars remain, which is a bit desolate.

A winding path passes around the lake and extends to the back door behind the rockery.

After walking around the outside.

Come to the room again.

Push the door in, there is a high-ceilinged hall.

Although no one has lived in it for a long time and the hall is covered with dust, the thick wooden floor is still not damaged at all.

A wooden staircase winds from the left to the second floor.

The fireplace next to it is beautifully carved and ingenious.

From the overall style, it is a Nordic style.

Xu Liang did not go to the second floor because it was too dirty and he could not even step on it.

"Mr. Yan, the house is not bad."

Yan Yuyang said happily: "As long as you are satisfied."

"Mr. Xu, we are not bragging. You can ask around in the whole Magic City. There are very few old houses that can compare with our Yan Family Garden."

"Yes, Mr. Xu. With your current status, you must have such a top-notch house to match."

The rest of the Yan family spoke up.

Xu Liang: "I have arranged the house. Someone will talk to you later. I will leave first."

After speaking, he did not care about the Yan family anymore, and turned to walk outside.

Arrived in the car.

Took the information about Yan Family Garden from Li Jinling.

The history of Yan Family Garden can be traced back to 1920, and it was originally built by Jewish doctor Rob.

Later, the garden was regarded as a "haunted house" and almost forgotten because a doctor committed suicide after living here for more than ten years.

Then, it was bought at a low price by a man named Xu.

In 1940, it was taken over by Yan Qingxiang, a famous entrepreneur in Shanghai, and his family.

This garden house covers an area of eight acres, with a building area of 1,570 square meters and a garden area of 4,900 square meters. It has a typical English garden style.

After the founding of New China, Yan Qingxiang had close contacts with many artists in Yan's Garden, and it became their gathering place.

Hanging in the living room are Huang Yanpei's calligraphy and Xu Beihong's paintings, as well as Mr. Sun's handwriting of "philanthropy" and "coming from behind" and a photo signed by Mrs. Sun, Soong * Ling.

These precious artworks and historical relics have added unparalleled value to this mansion.

Of course, these artworks have long been sold or lost by the Yan family.

After Yan Qingxiang died of illness in 1988.

The descendants of the Yan family fought each other to the point of bloodshed in order to compete for the old house with the greatest value in the family, and even confronted each other in court several times.

When Xu Liang bought the old house a few years ago, he let go of the Yan family garden because they could not reach a consensus among themselves.

Now they finally reached a consensus and decided to sell it first and then divide the money.

"The house is a good house, but it is too dilapidated. Buy it and let Lu Jue and others repair it."

He did not care about the specific negotiations. Time and energy are precious, and there is no need to waste it on such trivial matters.

"Okay."

"Is there no news from the Magic City yet?"

"Not yet."

Xu Liang nodded. Although the bait he threw out was very tempting, it would not be possible to reach a consensus in a short time.

Looking at the bustling streets outside the window, the office workers coming and going had hope for life on their faces, or numbness, and disappeared from sight.

A sentence suddenly popped up in Xu Liang's mind.

People's sorrows and joys are not connected.

Now he has huge wealth that ordinary people can hardly imagine, but he has lost the freedom to walk through the streets and alleys like an ordinary person and experience the world.

Although the incident in the United States has been over for more than half a year, the assassination has left him with a deep psychological shadow.

Now his children are too young.

The wealth of the entire Xu family is on his shoulders.

If he is killed, the huge Xu empire will collapse.

People abroad understand this, and so do people in China.

Therefore, even in China, which is much safer, Xu Liang will be extra careful.

His weakness is too obvious.

Setting up a legacy trust in advance is not only to disperse the family property and reduce attention, but also because it is a will.

In case he encounters an accident.

At least some wealth can be left behind.

——

In the blink of an eye, it was three days later.

He bought the Yan Family Manor for 120 million Chinese yuan, which is more than half cheaper than the 280 million yuan purchase price of Chen Shengda in the previous life.

This is understandable, after all, Chen Shengda bought it in 2009, and now it is July 2006.

The average price of commercial housing in Shanghai is only 7,038 yuan per square meter now.

In 2009, it was 17,000.

Swish...

Sign your name on the document.

"Immediately after the payment is made, let the construction team enter the site and tell Lu Jue that all modern equipment must be available while preserving the original appearance of the manor.

Also, remember to lay floor heating."

Although the winter in Shanghai is not long, he, a northerner, really can't stand the coldness in the south. It's too uncomfortable.

It's okay to turn on the air conditioner, but it's not as comfortable as floor heating.

Li Jinling smiled and said, "I will definitely convey your instructions to Mr. Lu."

"Yes."

"Is there any news from SMIC?"

"Not yet, but it's spreading outside, especially with the example of BOE, many people believe that Hanhua will invest tens of billions of dollars in chip foundry."

Xu Liang nodded slightly: "Tell Hanhua that they don't have to wait any longer. Send someone directly to SMIC. The face has been given. It's none of our business if they can't take it."

"Okay."

"Has Liu Qiangxi signed the contract with Zhejiang Agricultural University?"

"We are still discussing."

Although he has reached an agreement with the Zhejiang Provincial Government, the specific terms still need to be discussed.

When it comes to money, of course, it is impossible to be careless.

Ding-ling-ling...

Li Jinling's cell phone suddenly rang.

A moment after picking up the phone.

"Mr. Xu, Leader Zhou asked us to discuss investment matters."

"It's much faster than I thought."

"Do you want to agree?"

"Of course. Let's put the meeting place in Hongyan and let them decide the time."
