241: Mansion 2
As the large fish tank slowly moved aside, a small hidden compartment was revealed. After opening it, there was a digital keypad, obviously for entering a password.
Zhang Jun raised his hand and entered the password. After a few beeps, a door opened in the wall.
Upon entering, they found it was a small room, currently empty, with nothing inside.
"This is a safe room. The entire structure is made of special steel plates, and its anti-theft level basically reaches the primary level of a bank vault."
"The outside password can be reset or a fingerprint can be registered."
"It took a lot of money and effort to apply for and build this safe room."
"I estimate my uncle-in-law didn't even use it much. Hehehe."
Zhang Jun couldn't help but laugh after explaining.
"Okay, thank you, Brother Jun. If the price is right, I'll take it. Please help me ask!"
Yang Qi glanced at Bai Xue, saw longing and joy in her eyes, and then said.
In fact, when he saw this safe room, he had already made up his mind to buy it as long as the price was reasonable.
He secretly calculated in his mind how much the house was worth. After a quick estimate, it should be between 60 and 70 million at most.
The main value came from the antique furniture and decorations, as well as this safe room and the rosewood furniture.
At this moment, Zhang Jun made a call in front of the two of them.
"Uncle-in-law! Hello!"
"Ah! A-Jun! It's been a long time since we last spoke! Why are you calling me? Is something up?"
A deep voice came from the other end.
"What could be up with me? It's just been a long time since I called you, and I missed you and my aunt. Is my aunt there?"
Zhang Jun immediately denied it.
"You can stop that! If you missed your aunt, why call me? Just say what you need to say. I'm about to go fishing. Are you short on money? I'll transfer ten million to you later, is that enough?"
The voice on the other end clearly didn't have time to talk to him, probably really busy going fishing.
What he said made Yang Qi and Bai Xue's eyelids twitch, and they secretly cursed, "Rich dog."
"Ah! Don't transfer money to me, I'm not that extravagant, I have enough money to spend."
"It's just that a brother of mine has fallen in love with your sea-view villa in Qingshan Town. I'd like to ask you on his behalf if you'd be willing to part with it!"
Zhang Jun immediately explained the situation to prevent his uncle-in-law from guessing wildly.
"I didn't plan to sell that house! Currently, I only have three properties in the country, and I rotate living in them when I return."
The other side replied without hesitation.
"Well, I think two houses are enough for you, and those two are much larger than this one."
Zhang Jun continued.
"If you really can't fit when you return to the country, you can stay at my dad's place."
The other side paused for a few seconds after hearing Zhang Jun mention his dad.
"The things in that house of mine are worth a lot of money. To be honest, I never intended to sell that house; I've put a lot of good things in there."
"Is that really your good brother?"
Zhang Jun grinned and immediately replied:
"I'm not lying to you, he's a true brother, and my dad and them also know him."
"Oh dear! You rascal, does he not want those furniture and antique Ornaments? If not, pack them up for me and send them to my house in the The City."
The voice on the other end was clearly a bit displeased.
"No, uncle-in-law, including all the furniture and antique Ornaments. Of course, I'll pack up your and aunt's personal belongings and send them to the The City."
"Could you give me a price? My brother here can also discuss it."
"You know, just the furniture and antique Ornaments on my second floor are worth over 60 million. The several Ornaments on the curio shelf on the first floor are also antiques, all bought at auctions, and the certificates are still there."
"I'll call your dad first and ask, you brat, just wait for me."
Zhang Jun's uncle-in-law grumbled and hung up the phone.
"Hahahaha, let's go, let's go to the study on the second floor and look at those auction certificates. I know some, and I don't know some, so it's a good chance to see them."
Zhang Jun smiled, put away his phone, and led the two towards the study on the second floor.
Upon entering, the group indeed smelled a faint fragrance, which should be the unique scent of huanghuali wood.
Zhang Jun indeed found over twenty auction appraisal certificates in a zitan wood box on top of the curio shelf.
They were all auction certificates issued by several leading auction houses such as Poly, Guardian, and Christie's.
Yang Qi estimated that those pieces in the master bedroom must also be genuine antiques. He had originally thought they were exquisite crafts, including the paintings by the stairwell.
Before they could even calculate the auction prices of these antiques, Zhang Jun's phone rang again.
"One price, a round number. Your brother had better find it too expensive and not want it. And you should call me less in the future, it never bodes well!"
It was clear that Zhang Jun's uncle-in-law was not in a very good mood.
Zhang Jun grinned and replied:
"I know, uncle-in-law, I'll tell him. By the way, how big of a fish can you catch there?"
"Fishing, huh? The ones I catch are not small at all. Let me tell you!..."
When Zhang Jun's uncle-in-law started talking about fishing, he began to brag again.
"Uncle-in-law, have you ever caught a Bluefin Tuna?"
Zhang Jun seemed to know his uncle-in-law's personality and began to play to his interests.
"Bluefin Tuna? Yes! Let me tell you, last time I caught a Bluefin Tuna weighing over 300 catties. The feeling, tsk tsk tsk, you wouldn't understand."
"If you get a chance, come to Canada, and uncle-in-law will take you to catch Atlantic Bluefin Tuna!"
As soon as Zhang Jun's uncle-in-law talked about fishing, he seemed to forget his earlier unhappiness.
"Cough cough cough, uncle-in-law, a while ago, my brother and I went out to sea together, and I caught two Bluefin Tuna weighing over 500 catties."
"My brother caught seven."
Zhang Jun suddenly put his uncle-in-law on the spot.
"Hmm? Really? Does he have such good skills?"
His uncle-in-law was clearly stunned, a little disbelieving.
"Hehehe, would I lie to you?"
Zhang Jun smiled somewhat happily.
"When you have time, bring him to Canada for a friendly competition."
Zhang Jun's uncle-in-law was clearly a bit unconvinced.
"Okay, definitely when I have time."
Zhang Jun replied.
"Alright then! I'm going fishing. I won't talk to you anymore."
Before he finished speaking, the call was hung up.
"That's the situation. The two of you discuss it. Just let me know when you're done."
Zhang Jun said to Yang Qi and Bai Xue.
"Alas! Damn it, I really didn't expect that I, Yang Qi, would also be involved in a one-hundred-million-dollar transaction. And I'm the buyer."
Yang Qi rubbed his cheeks.
"Brother Jun, give me some advice, my head is spinning right now."
Zhang Jun smiled, looked at Yang Qi and Bai Xue, and then said:
"Originally, I shouldn't offer this suggestion, because it involves both of your sides."
