Chapter 211: 125, An unexpected encounter with Chen Shanhe! Going home for New Year’s, showing off in a Maybach!_5
Lin Mo gave a slight bow and introduced himself, “Hello, elder sir, my name is Lin Mo.”
“Have a seat, rest a bit, and drink some tea to warm up,” the elder turned his head and said to his secretary, “Bring over the prepared tea for our esteemed guests.”
“Yes,” replied the female secretary with a nod before leaving.
The elder’s gaze moved slightly downward, eyeing the bag in Lin’s hand, “Is what’s inside here the set of five swords from heaven?”
“I’m not entirely sure, if you could please have a look,” Lin Mo said politely as he placed the bag on the stone table.
The provenance of the swords was recounted by Hai Dong; Lin Mo, a complete layman, actually had no idea whether they were genuine or not.
Hai Dong added, “Elder, I’ve looked over the swords just now, and they are definitely the heavenly set. I wouldn’t dare bring them to you if there were any issues.”
The elder nodded, stood up from the stone bench, unzipped the bag, and began to examine it closely.
At that moment,
the female secretary brought over two cups of tea and set them in front of the two men.
Without looking up, the elder said, “Drink the tea, no need to be formal, feel at home.”
Heh heh…
Feel at home?!
Even with the Intelligence System, Lin Mo felt that living in such a place would make him wake up laughing even if it were in a dream.
Buying a nearby residence wouldn’t be difficult for him.
But to own a super manor with both privacy and comfort in such a bustling district was not just a matter of having money.
Hai Dong took the tea and eagerly took a sip, showing a blissful expression. Smiling, he said, “Elder, is this the premium tea? It has a sweet and rich flavor with an endless aftertaste.”
The elder was very easy-going, showing none of the airs of an important person: “If you like it, you can take some with you when you leave.”
Hai Dong waved his hands repeatedly, “No, no, I didn’t bring anything for you, and I’m already feeling quite embarrassed. How could I take your tea leaves.”
Had Lin Mo not known in advance that the elder’s identity was extraordinary, coupled with the aura of the estate itself, he might have thought this elder was just like any ordinary senior taking a stroll in the park.
The elder noticed that Lin Mo hadn’t drunk any tea and asked with a smile, “Lin, what’s the matter? Don’t you like tea?”
“Mmm, I don’t really drink it much,” Lin Mo responded, picking up the teacup and taking a sip.
So how to put it,
It was a bit sweet, a bit bitter, with a little bit of tea leaves froth in his mouth.
He couldn’t really taste anything special.
It wasn’t as good as bottled iced tea or Pepsi.
Seeing that Lin Mo was not accustomed to drinking tea, the elder didn’t say much more. He checked the other swords and then asked, “The condition of these swords is very good. Lin, how much are you planning to sell them for?”
Lin Mo thought for a moment and didn’t ask for an exorbitant price, saying truthfully, “These swords came to me unexpectedly. If you like them, name a price. As long as it’s in line with the market, that’s fine.”
“Heh, quite straightforward,” the elder nodded, not beating around the bush, and offered his price directly, “200 million, how do you feel about this price?”
200 million was neither expensive nor cheap.
It was a fair price.
Lin Mo didn’t hesitate, quickly nodding his head in agreement, “No problem. We’ll do as you say, 200 million.”
Hai Dong’s mouth began to curve into a slight smile at the side.
It was all going too smoothly,
With this transaction successful, he would reap quite a few benefits too.
“Good, young brother, you really are straightforward. Wait a moment, and I’ll have someone arrange the transfer,” said the elder in a very good mood, gesturing to the female secretary, “take down their bank card numbers and transfer the money.”
Hai Dong quickly waved his hands, “Elder, no need for me, I was just making an introduction, no labor without gain, I really can’t accept your money.”
The elder laughed, “The money must be given. Next time you come across something good, remember to contact this old man first. I don’t have many hobbies, but I do like to collect things.”
Upon hearing this, Hai Dong no longer modestly demurred, nodding emphatically, “Well, then I won’t stand on ceremony with you, elder. If there is anything you need help with in the future, just give the word.”
The female secretary took out pen and paper, noting down the bank card numbers provided by Lin Mo and Hai Dong.
The two had accounts with different banks,
Lin Mo’s was with Shengmin Bank, while Hai Dong’s was with Construction Bank.
“Please wait for a moment, esteemed guests,” said the female secretary as she turned to leave the pavilion.
About ten minutes later, Lin Mo and Hai Dong both received bank transfer notification messages simultaneously.
Lin Mo’s account received the full 200 million, but there was no remark, and the payer’s details were blank when he checked.
Moreover, the money was transferred in real time, unlike the offshore funds he dealt with before which required some time for review.
Although Lin Mo had been mentally prepared, seeing the transfer notification for 200 million still made him swallow hard, and his heart raced uncontrollably!
200 million!
What did that amount represent?
The former Lin Mo would not even dare to think about 20 million, let alone 200 million!
And now, he had earned 200 million in one go!
It truly felt like a dream!
Hai Dong’s exact sum was unknown, but judging by the smile on his face, it was undoubtedly significant.
His face beaming with joy, he said, “Elder, you are too kind. I was just lending a hand…”
The elder smiled and responded, “This is what you deserve; I don’t want people outside to laugh at me, saying that at my age I don’t even know the most basic manners.”
“Lin, if in the future you come across similar quality sword and blade collections, you can get in touch with Hai Dong, or come find me directly.”
