After buying the house, out of the 30 million dollars obtained from He Xiaohe, there was still 27.5 million left.
Chen Rui simply transferred all the money to his parents.
My parents were a little confused when they saw so much money.
"Dad, we are recovering this time. You used to do big business."
"Now that we are regrouping in the capital, I know you feel uncomfortable being idle at home."
"This money, on the one hand, is for your living expenses, and on the other hand, you contribute part of it."
"Look around to see if there is any project you want to do. If so, just get it done."
Chen Rui smiled and said to his parents, and his father burst into tears after hearing this.
His lips trembled a little, but in the end he didn't say much, and just patted Chen Rui hard on the shoulder.
"Thank you, son!"
Chen Rui smiled and shook his head: "Why are you so polite as a family..."
In fact, the reason why he transferred money to his parents was because he heard his mother mention it several times before.
Although their family has now turned around, she can often hear her father sighing in the middle of the night.
After all, my father was once prosperous, and then he was deceived and went bankrupt.
He was definitely unwilling to do so, so Chen Rui gave his father a sum of money.
Let him figure it out on his own. If he wants to make a comeback, it doesn't matter if he starts a business.
Anyway, Chen Rui is not short of money now and can protect his father.
Of course, not all the money given to me is for my father to start his own business.
After all, his parents have to live in the capital when he is away.
You have purchased this luxury property, but daily maintenance also costs money.
I won’t talk about normal water and electricity, but let’s talk about property fees, which cost 38 yuan per square meter per month.
His monthly property fee is more than 20,000 yuan.
Therefore, this money is also given to parents for daily use.
Of course, the main reason is because more than 20 million seems like a lot.
But to Chen Rui, this money is actually nothing.
Not to mention his collection, let’s talk about it before setting off from the United States.
Nelson sold part of the gold he got back from Colombia, totaling 120 million gold coins.
He gave Nielsen a price of 20 million, but he still had 100 million left.
In the next few days, the family naturally packed up and moved into their new home.
However, although the house was delivered with fine decoration, Chen Rui still requested that two of the rooms be remodeled.
The two rooms are both storage rooms located in the middle of the house and are not small in size.
The ones upstairs and downstairs each have more than 30 square meters, and they are both cloakrooms for the master bedrooms on the second floor and the first floor.
Considering that the family doesn't have many clothes and doesn't like to buy too many clothes, we simply transformed these two rooms into safe houses.
Dad called in a specialized construction designer the next day to inspect the indoor environment.
Then the room was remodeled and designed according to their requirements.
Both rooms are equipped with titanium alloy steel plates and new security doors.
Although such modifications are very expensive, two sets will cost more than fifty dollars.
But Chen Rui agreed without blinking, and the rest of the decoration work was left to Father Chen and Mother Chen.
Chen Rui took Karen and visited the capital every day.
First, let’s take a walk around some of the famous attractions in the capital: the Forbidden City, the Great Wall, the Temple of Heaven, and the Summer Palace.
Next, of course, I have to go to some famous antique markets in Beijing.
Just like the famous Panjiayuan...
"Hey, bro, can you give me a price? This is a good thing from the Ming Dynasty passed down from my ancestors."
"My price is really not expensive, just thirty-five thousand..."
"Hey, why don't you pay back the price?"
This was the first time I visited Panjiayuan, and Chen Rui was really disappointed.
After walking around for a long time, most of the people I encountered were vendors who talked about things and told stories.
The Panjiayuan of today is no longer the Panjiayuan of more than ten years ago.
In the past, when the Panjiayuan antique market first emerged, it was in the 1980s.
Until 2000, there were still some real things appearing in this market from time to time.
The market at that time was just dirty street stalls.
But now the market has been upgraded and renovated, and the market is surrounded by a circle of various antique shops.
In the middle are several rows of tin sheds. Most of the vendors here sell various cultural toys and high-end imitations.
In recent years, as the number of antiques circulating in the domestic market has become increasingly ‘dry’.
This market has long lost the magic of the days when people could often pick up the slack and become rich overnight.
Now it is not so much an antique market as it is a gathering place for ‘storytellers’ and various charlatans.
It's not that there aren't good things in this market, it's just that the good things are all on the shelves of the surrounding shops.
The prices are all clearly marked, and they are even more expensive than other places.
As for the inside of the market, there really isn’t anything that makes people’s eyes shine.
Chen Rui took Karen around for a long time, and then he was ready to leave, so he bought two bunches of good-quality Nanhong.
It’s a souvenir of your trip here.
The next day, the two went to the famous Baoguo Temple. It is said that this place is somewhat similar to Panjiayuan Temple back then.
The two of them arrived early in the morning, and when they arrived, the place was already bustling with people.
Chen Rui really didn't expect that the market would be so lively this early in the morning.
Standing in front of the archway, looking at the tall red walls and green tiles and the signboard of 'Baoguo Temple' above.
But who would have thought that after entering the door, this place is not like other temples.
There are not that many Buddhist niches and pilgrims, and no one burns incense and worships Buddha here.
What you can see instead are various stalls spread out on the ground.
There are also all kinds of tourists passing by the stalls.
This temple really opened Chen Rui's eyes. He has never seen such a temple that is not doing its job properly.
If it weren't for the sign outside the door, many people might have come inside and thought they were entering an open-air market!
The two of them had just walked inside when they heard passers-by chattering.
"Hey, the market is open fine, but why doesn't it suddenly stop?"
"Isn't that right? Our market has been open for decades, but suddenly it is said that it will return to the nature of cultural relics."
"Didn't we think this was a cultural relic before?"
"Come on, stop talking nonsense and go shopping while it hasn't changed yet. There won't be anywhere to go shopping in the future!"
Several old people passed by them, and the two of them finally understood why the market was so busy early in the morning.
It turns out that renovation is about to happen...
Before coming, Chen Rui also understood the situation of this market.
This temple was not called Baoguo Temple before, and it even had no name at all.
The temple and park were built in 916, during the Liao Dynasty, and it was not a big temple.
It was not until the fall of the Liao Kingdom that the name Xiaobaoguo Temple came into being.
But it collapsed in the early Ming Dynasty. Later it was simply repaired and has been used for treatment ever since.
During the Kangxi period, a major earthquake occurred in the capital and the place completely collapsed.
