Chapter 11

The first business of the shop reopened seemed to be a loss of [-] yuan, but it was actually not a loss after gaining a diligent, honest and loyal apprentice.

Since Lei Jianjun went to work, the shop has been cleaned spotlessly every day, and Li Yiming doesn't need to do all the trivial things.

Li Yiming also took the time to teach Lei Jianjun some knowledge about appraising treasures, and the master and apprentice were in harmony.

After a week like this, as Li Yiming's reputation became famous in the collection circle, the business gradually improved.

That day Li Yiming was sitting in the shop reading a book, but saw a middle-aged man walking in.

Lei Jianjun immediately stepped forward to greet the guests and inquired about their intentions.

The man took out a real estate certificate and said, "I want to mortgage the real estate, please make a price."

Anything can be used as collateral as long as it is not contraband or human organs.

It’s just that pawn shops are also divided into grades. Only those with a registered capital of more than 500 million are eligible for real estate mortgages. Li Yiming’s shop has a registered capital of only 300 million, which is not eligible.

Seeing this, Li Yiming immediately stepped forward and said, "My friend, you'd better go to a bigger pawn shop. We are not qualified to mortgage real estate for the time being, so I'm sorry."

The man shook his head with a bitter face and said: "To tell you the truth, I have searched all the pawn shops in this city, and none of them are willing to accept you. I have no choice but to find you. I beg you, I am also desperate."

Li Yiming asked curiously: "Why don't others accept it? There must be a reason?"

The man replied embarrassingly: "Actually, the reason is very simple. My house...is a haunted house."

That's it!

No one dares to live in a haunted house, and the house loses its own value. The price of a haunted house is as low as the price of cabbage, but few people care about it.

Naturally, pawnshops would not dare to accept this kind of real estate. What they received was unsalable waste products, which was clearly a money-losing business.

Li Yiming couldn't help laughing, "Then why do you think I will accept it?"

Unexpectedly, the man knelt down on the ground with a thud, and cried out with snot and tears: "I heard about your reputation, a benevolent man with a kind heart, Boss Li, and only you can save me. If If I can’t raise money, I’m really at the end of my rope!”

"Get up and talk, why are you crying!"

The man just sat down on the chair and started talking.

This person's name is Cheng Qiang, and he was originally from a well-to-do family. The couple ran a small factory and owned two houses in the city. They lived in one and rented out the other.

But I don't know why, since last spring, there have been frequent accidents in their family.

First, there was a safety accident in the factory. A worker was involved in the machine and died because of improper operation. Because it was an industrial accident, he also lost a lot of money for this.

Later, his wife got into a car accident and had to undergo several major operations to save her life, but it also cost 60 million yuan for treatment.

In the spring of this year, another horrible murder occurred in the rented house!

The tenant was a young woman, because she was dating several men at the same time, and was on several boats, and was discovered by one of them.

The man was so angry that he couldn't find a woman to argue with him, so he drew his knife and killed someone in anger, and then committed suicide on the spot.

It was not until a week later that someone next door smelled the stench of rotting corpses and called the police, and that house became a well-known haunted house.

This series of accidents caused more than 200 million yuan tossed back and forth, and all the family savings accumulated over the years were all emptied, and the factory also closed down due to a broken capital chain.

Cheng Qiang lost his factory, had to take care of his wife who couldn't work, and supported his son to go to college. He had no choice but to sell the house he lived in, and the family moved into the haunted house.

Unfortunately, misfortunes never come singly. In the past four months, he worked four jobs to earn money to support his family. Although he could barely maintain his health, his body collapsed.

Cheng Qiang took out an examination report, "I have severe diabetes. The doctor said that if I continue to work like this, I will not live for a month, so I can only take medicine for maintenance."

Li Yiming frowned, "But what if we sell this house? Where does your family live?"

Cheng Qiang replied with tears in his eyes: "I have no other choice. I can only sell the house to pay for my son's remaining tuition fees and his wife's living expenses for the next two years. When my son graduates, I will take care of his mother. Don't drag them down."

The implication of this is to commit suicide!

Li Yiming couldn't help but heaved a long sigh. It seems that this Cheng Qiang is not a weak and incompetent person, but a strong man, but the pressure of life is too great, he is just a mortal after all.

"Take me to see that house."

Cheng Qiang was overjoyed when he heard the words, "Are you willing to accept it? Thank you so much!"

Lei Jianjun on the side said, "Master, but we are not qualified to mortgage real estate."

Li Yiming said: "You take a good look at the store, I have my own measure."

He still has 800 million left in his bank account. If necessary, he can add 200 million registered capital to be eligible to mortgage the property. This is not a problem.

What Li Yiming was really worried about was Cheng Qiang. How could one person suffer so badly?In just one year, so many accidents happened in their home, which is unreasonable.

He didn't suspect that the other party was lying, but had other ideas.

The two immediately drove to Cheng Qiang's house, the so-called haunted house, not far from here in the city.

Half an hour later, they came to a community and stopped in front of a twelve-story commercial building under Cheng Qiang's instructions.

As soon as he got out of the car, Li Yiming looked up at the building, and immediately noticed something unusual, and then looked around, and suddenly understood.

Taking the elevator to the door of 704 on the seventh floor, Cheng Qiang opened the door.

As soon as the door was pushed open, a chilly feeling emerged from Li Yiming's back. It really was a haunted house, and it was full of gloom in broad daylight.

After entering, I looked around and found that the house was very neat and tidy. It was a three-bedroom apartment with an area of ​​130 square meters. Ordinary people would not see anything unusual.

"When I bought it five years ago, the total price was 180 million, and the decoration cost 35. You can give me a price after looking at it, and I won't bargain with you anymore." Cheng Qiang introduced.

After all, haunted houses are not qualified to bargain, and Li Yiming can do as much as he says.

"What are the prices of other houses in this neighborhood today?"

Five years later, housing prices will definitely rise, except for haunted houses.

Cheng Qiang was taken aback, and replied: "Twenty-four thousand." He didn't understand why Li Yiming would ask such a question.

After looking around the house, Li Yiming made his offer.

"Based on the current price of 310, [-] million."
