To get something, you have to lose something.

For example, when Zhao An came to the roadside stall and obtained a piece of crayfish, he lost twenty dollars.

He only wanted to get it, but he didn't want to lose it. In the end, he would often get nothing.

Just like Zhao Xiaobie and Hua Mei.

Zhao An's loathing for Zhao Xiaobing and Hua Mei was second only to the one who had forced his parents to death. In the past, no matter how unwilling Zhao Xiaojun and Hua Mei were, they had to pay back the fifty thousand yuan they owed their family. If that was the case, perhaps they wouldn't have ended up like this in the end.

Some people were like this, forever seeing only the little benefits before them, and then seeing nothing else in their eyes.

Such people would never be able to get far, and their accomplishments would always be limited to their yield of one and a half acres.

Many people know about the relationship between gain and loss, but not everyone can take the most basic rules for their own creed. Instead, they take it for granted that they deserve it.

Without a doubt, Zhao Xiaobao and Hua Mei had a request. It seemed like it wasn't a small matter. After all, at this time when the clan was discussing about repairing the ancestral hall and the genealogy, Zhao Dagong and Qin Zhu had already left.

Zhao An didn't care about what happened to Zhao Xiaobing and Hua Mei, as long as they didn't come to his house.

After eating crayfish with Ye Luoluo at Hu Yue's home, Zhao An returned home and recalled that he actually had more than two million gold coins in his account, but it didn't feel too much to him.

It wasn't that he didn't feel anything. It was more like he didn't feel anything at all. Thinking about it carefully, if it was someone as rich as Lin Nan Xiu, or Lin Xiaoxian, Tang Jun, and Li Qing Ge, who had grown up in such a luxurious and luxurious environment, that didn't feel too good about two million yuan, but he seemed to be very poor …

In the end, it seemed that this was a matter of mental state. Only the rich could see money as dung, and the poor could not endure the thirst for wealth.

After ten years of training, Zhao An had almost forgotten about money. Back in the real world, where money ruled everything, Zhao An directly treated money as a simple tool, just like the medicine cup he used, or like the kitchen knife Lin Xiaoxian made for cooking. It was of no particular importance to him, nor was it particularly important to him.

However, it was impossible without money. For example, if Zhao An wanted to obtain the two million, he had to prepare some things.

In the evening, Zhao An routinely used the herbs provided by Zhang Jiaqing to make two Baohua Spiritual Replenishment Pills. So far, he had a total of six Baohua Spiritual Replenishment Pills on hand.

Six pills was three million yuan. No one would have thought that there was something precious hidden in such a small house.

The next day at noon, Zhao An did not go to the cafeteria to ask for a leave of absence from Li Qingge.

"Miss Li Qingge, the noble, beautiful, proud, graceful, graceful, graceful, gentle and moving, like a fairy who pitied the heavens, I would like to take a leave of absence this afternoon. Since this matter is related to my life and happiness, I have to ask for your approval. "It's like this …"

"Why should I be interested in your life and your happiness?" Li Qingge didn't really dislike his self-righteous way of thinking. After all, he had added such a long prefix to his name. Although that was only speaking the truth, the number of people who spoke the truth was becoming fewer and fewer these days.

"Alright, I just want to take a leave of absence." Zhao An said in disappointment.

"Hurry up!" Li Qingge blanked out for a moment before agreeing. After thinking for a while, she realized Zhao An wasn't so idle these few days. At the very least, he didn't rush over to provoke her whenever he had time. What was going on? Could it be that he had fallen for someone else?

What do you mean by liking someone else? As if he used to like her, Li Qingge realized she was wrong and quickly turned around.

Zhao An left the school and rode his bicycle home. Hu Yue, who was at the door, looked at him strangely and asked, "Zhao An, why are you home at noon? Have you eaten?"

"Nope, let's go home and get something to eat." Zhao An said.

"Don't, I've just made some food, I'll leave after eating. It's not clean outside." Hu Yue shouted.

"It's too late, let's go!" Zhao An went upstairs to pick up the suit he had bought with Tang Wu and then went downstairs. He no longer rode his bicycle.

Hu Yue didn't know what he was doing, she stood at the door for a while, then went back inside.

Zhao An took a taxi to Huatang department store. As a high-end department store in the downtown Six Arts Road business circle, Huatang department store had always been considered by the citizens of the county as a high-end shopping mall. Although it didn't have many luxury brands, it still had plenty of high-end brands such as Omega, Rolex, and some perfume and cosmetics jewelry.

After all, more and more foreign companies have realized that the average consumption level in China is very low, so this figure has nothing to do with their sales growth. Thanks to the huge technology, China's consumption level pyramid has enough people to support the performance of these luxury brands.

After choosing a brand, Zhao An chose a pair of leather shoes. The style was quite new and suited the young people, so the price was not cheap. These leather shoes were all made of ordinary materials, but they could still be sold for a good price. As for those shoes with very simple styles, the requirements for the material and the workmanship were especially high, thus they could be sold for a high price.

In fact, Zhao An preferred those simple and exquisite leather shoes. However, he wanted to buy those shoes to highlight the wealth of the wearer and to reveal some of the information. Zhao An didn't buy the shoes for daily wear, but for today's occasion, so he paid particular attention to it.

After selecting the leather shoes, Zhao An declined the packaging of the attendant. He then took the leather shoes to the bathroom and changed into his new suit and leather shoes.

He looked at himself in the mirror. He was dressed in a suit and leather shoes. The new leather shoes were shiny, giving him a feeling of an exquisite life.

Looking at a man's life, looking at his hair, looking at his belt, looking at his wallet and shoes, he roughly understood the level and standard of his life.

"You look like a human being." Zhao An spat on himself, but he didn't mind. Smiling, he walked out of the room.

In this era, many successful merchants were still keen on working hard. They were not keen on improving the quality of their lives, and rarely paid attention to luxury brands; they would never tell others that they had to know a certain brand in order to show their good taste; nor would they pay attention to things like this. The easiest and most direct way for them to purchase was to go to a counter in a large shopping mall and pick things that were expensive that matched their ability to consume.

This was what Zhao An was doing now. This fake foreign brand was very popular in the 1990s, and the county sand was still selling quite well today. At least, the sales clerk at the counter had the arrogance that those real luxury brands would have when they looked at a bag and looked at their clothes.

Zhao An didn't care about this. After buying the bag, he stuffed the school uniform and shoes he had changed out of into the bag.

He went back to the watch counter. He knew that he could afford a high-end watch at home and travel abroad at a time. However, he could only choose to buy one here.

Zhao An didn't choose to buy an overly expensive watch. It was a mid-grade Rolex. After cutting off the watch chain, he wore it.

Looking at himself again, he didn't feel any different from the successful people of this era, but there was still something missing.

After giving it some thought, Zhao An went and put on a pair of black-framed plain glasses. This way, he looked much more mature.

Even if his parents saw this twenty-seven or twenty-eight year old boy, they would never have thought that it was their son who was currently in high school.

Even though their mouths were still a bit soft, many men who took good care of themselves were still in their late twenties or late teens. The most important thing was one's eyes and one's temperament. The feeling emitted from the inner state of mind would affect one's ability to judge one's age.

When he wore his school uniform, other people would only think that he was a mature young boy. However, when he wore a suit, no one would think that he was just a mature young boy.

After doing all this, Zhao An took his bag with him and drove to the "National Mansion Garden".

Prefecture Garden is county Sha 2000 listed villa, the price for the listing of more than 3000 meters per square meter. Since 1999, the real estate market in the county of Shesha has been experiencing ninety years of cold after the state's policy of ending housing reform, which has led to the rapid development of the fast lane.

Mortgage buyers at this time were basically the first-generation mortgage buyers. Most of the people could only mortgage their residences with the price of the government gardens.

Before 2000, the real estate market of Canton Sand was still in the stage of commercial residential buildings. Only until 2000 did the real estate and villa housing of the residential district, which was represented by the government garden, begin to develop. The effective purchasing power at this time is still considered to be relatively small at the social level.

At this time, it was the first glimmer of light before the dawn of the Prefecture Shah Real Estate … Of course, this is just the dawn of real estate companies and speculators.

Zhao An had chosen the mansion with the government garden. It only cost about a thousand houses in the same district, so the price of nearly four thousand government gardens was sky-high at this time.

More than four thousand buy downtown with the lake scenery, mountain scenery and river scenery villa? After more than ten years, it would be a dream, but this was also a dream because the price was too high.

Zhao An, who was familiar with the price of real estate after more than ten years, seemed to be able to clearly remind him that the real estate investment of a Rebirther was a must if they wanted to become rich in this era.

The risk was even lower than the stock market bull market that followed.

Of course, for Zhao An, there was no risk at all, no matter if it was the house or stock exchange, unless the wheel of history suddenly turned and entered an unknown era.

The sales center of the Gu Residence Garden had the usual luxurious atmosphere of high-end buildings. Inside the freezer in the buffet area, there was a seemingly endless supply of some brand of ice cream and chocolate.

Although the sales center was a very upmarket place, the price was still too high for most of the citizens to compare to. Zhao An had chosen to arrive in the afternoon, so other than the listless staff and the two sales ladies wearing flight attendants' uniforms, there was no one else in the sales center to consult with.

Seeing Zhao An walk in, one of the sales lady still lowered her head to cut her nails while the other stood up. Although she didn't seem very enthusiastic, at least she came over and said, "Hello sir, are you taking a look at the house?"

Without a doubt, this was just nonsense. However, everyone seemed to feel that this was something that had to be said. If one didn't come here to look around, could it be that they were here to look at beauties, eat free coffee, drink ice cream, and then enjoy an afternoon nap in the air-conditioner before leaving?

There really seemed to be someone who would do this. However, Zhao An wasn't here to buy a house. He was here to buy a house.

"Well, I'd like to see the villa." Zhao An nodded. He took a glance at the real estate agent's nameplate. It was Wang Sha. It was an ordinary name, but it was easy to remember.

Although there were very few buyers, there were still people who watched over them. It seemed like Zhao An was just strolling around the area like a housekeeper. There were at least one or two people like him every day.

Zhao An remembered that for the next three years, the government garden never relaxed its grip on this price. Only after it had endured this much did prices soar to the heavens. The point of view on the market was that the government garden would not be able to hold out any longer. Sooner or later, the price would be lowered to less than three thousand. That was the most suitable price for the villa at the highest end of the county.

So there must be very few people who buy at what is considered the top price.

Even though Zhao An reached out to grab the household chart, Wang Sha still wasn't particularly enthusiastic. She was just going through the motions and handing the household chart to Zhao An, which made her feel like sitting back down.

At the very least, this young customer looked quite handsome, with a clean and exquisite appearance that was very pleasing to the eyes. Even if he still couldn't afford to buy the villa here, since he was interested in it, he might as well get to know her.

Of course, girls were more willing to chat with young men with higher status and income, even if it didn't benefit them.

"All of them have pretty good editions..." Zhao An pointed to the best villas on the sand table and said, "These should be able to see the scenery of the river and the mountains, as well as the lake …" Do you still have these villas? "

Wang Sha thought for a moment and said uncertainly, "This is the best villa that we have limited edition and is in a hurry to sell it. I have to ask the Leader, maybe there will be more?"

"Go ahead and ask." Zhao An faintly smiled as he looked at Wang Sha. He didn't bother to say anything superfluous.

Unlike most homebuyers, he had obviously seen through these words. Wang Sha felt a bit embarrassed, but she didn't ask the Leader and said suddenly, "I remember now, there's still this, this set …" I haven't sold this set yet. Last time, I accompanied a guest to see a room, but due to some small problems, we didn't get a deal. "

"What little problem?" Zhao An asked.

"He said that he had some problems with the transfer of funds and would come back in a few days." Wang Sha pursed her lips and said.

"Actually, it's because I don't want to buy it. I don't have any money, or I feel like I can't get it." Zhao An nodded and said bluntly.

However, Zhao An's words gave Wang Sha some confidence. This person's tone of voice didn't sound like he was pretending to be rich! It seemed to imply that if he wanted to buy it, he would buy it.

"The houses are indeed not cheap. The prices are high and the area is large. Those who can afford it must be successful people. How can ordinary people afford it?" Wang Sha's tone became much gentler.

"Fortunately, it's actually a matter of the environment. There was also a psychological problem. In fact, if one said that these villas could not be sold out in the county, it was because no one could afford them. Actually, putting the price aside and taking a look at the environment, scenery and supporting facilities is enough reason to buy it. " The design was very reasonable. It all depended on one's preferences and the sand table was beautifully made. One could not see the actual scene here. Zhao An looked at the houses closest to the river and found that they were very quiet.

"That's right. The scenery of this house is too beautiful and the design is very good. Our designer is Mantos Studio from Dunkel University, and the chief designer has also won the Nobel Prize in Design for the Windsor Annual Classic … " Wang Sha felt that Zhao An was really sincere in coming to buy a house and hurriedly began to introduce him in a serious manner. It was just that she hadn't introduced him in such a serious manner in a long time.

While listening to Wang Sha's introduction, Zhao An calculated the price of the house and his remaining expenses. He was able to bear the cost of such a large sum of money.

The villa needed to be renovated to fit Zhao An's requirements. Taking into account the cost, he estimated that 2.5 million yuan would be spent on some of the items he would be buying.

"Let's go take a look at the house. If we can come to an agreement, I think we'll sign a contract to buy the house today." Zhao An pulled back his sleeves and looked at his watch. "It's getting late. Should we finish the battle quickly?"

"Alright... "Alright …" She was very confident in the house here. As long as the other party did not lack money, the chances of them taking fancy to the environment and scenery here would be very high, and most importantly, as a sales lady of a high-end building, Wang Sha would at least recognize that it was an expensive Rolex watch. A person who could wear tens of thousands of dollars a watch would not have much time to dupe her for time.

Only after seeing Wang Sha and Zhao An get into the black Mercedes-Benz that was specially reserved for the viewing houses did the other sales lady stand up and mutter, "Another one here to take a ride, right? "Look at that shameless Wang Sha …"

As Wang Sha drove, she ignored the front row and the interior villa and drove all the way to the three interior villas. As she drove, she asked, "Mister, what's your surname?"

"My surname is Li …" After a short pause, Zhao An couldn't help but say, "My name is Li Huaming, and I work for the provincial government."

"It's good to work in the provincial government. At such a young age, you can buy a large villa." Wang Sha said in envy, full of confidence. Since she dared to openly buy a villa worth over a million gold coins while working in the provincial government, naturally she had a strong backer.

The more outstanding Zhao An was, the more stable Wang Sha's contract would be. She did not care where this young civil servant had gotten the money from.
