Rosewood

Li Mo put on his shoe covers as requested and walked into this mansion. The moment he entered, he smelled a faint fragrance in the air. It was emitted by the wood itself.

The entryway was a grille partition with birds and fish carved on it. It was simple and had a little retro style. The grille was made of pure solid wood. It was brightly colored, and the texture was clear and beautiful. There was a faint sandalwood smell when one approached it.

This was Hainanese rosewood.

There was a three-meter walkway inside. On the right was a row of custom-made cabinets. There were niches on the left wall with a few exquisite porcelain pieces. Dark light shone down from the top, making the scene very interesting.

At the end of the corridor was a huge guest dining room. At a glance, it was eight meters long and about three meters tall. The curtains were pulled open, allowing one to look down at the meandering Huangpu River and the landmark television tower opposite. Not far away was the famous World Expo Complex.

Li Mo retracted his gaze and looked at the furniture in the living room. The style was simple, but the sofa, coffee table, tables, antique shelves, dining table, and dining chairs were mainly made of rosewood. There was a hint of nobility in the simplicity.

Judging from their size, these furniture were worth more than two million yuan.

Perhaps because he had been in contact with antiques since he was young, Li Mo liked this style very much. He was more mature than his peers.

There were four suites. Each suite had its own bathroom and cloakroom. The bedroom style was completely black, white, and gray. The color combination was simple, but it displayed a high-class feeling.

Li Mo walked into the study. The bookshelf was filled with all kinds of books, mainly financial books, and all kinds of porcelain ornaments. The desk and bookcase were also custom-made from rosewood. On the table were the Four Treasures of the Study and two wooden carvings.

One of the wooden carvings was a ferocious tiger piercing through the forest, and the other was a rhinoceros looking at the moon. The carvings were exquisite and lively.

He was about to look at the five paintings on the wall of the study when he heard Lu Liang's voice outside. He suppressed his curiosity and walked to the living room.

"Mr. and Mrs. Yao, this way. I'll introduce the place to you in detail."

"We don't need you to introduce it to us. We'll take a look at it ourselves." The woman who spoke was about 20 years old. She was slender and dressed fashionably. She held a luxury brand bag in her hand and wore a luxury watch on her wrist. She looked young and rich.

However, the man she was holding onto was already balding. He had a round waist, thick arms, and a short body. He was at least in his fifties, and his every move revealed the temperament of a nouveau-riche tycoon.

"Hubby, I like this floor-to-ceiling window. It must be very romantic for us to sit together and drink red wine at night and look at the river."

That tone was a little coquettish. Li Mo had goosebumps all over when he heard that.

"No matter how beautiful the river is, it's not as beautiful as you, my darling. I still like to do more meaningful activities with you at night." There was a blatant smile on the balding tycoon's lips. He kept glancing at the woman's chest, wishing he could "punish" her immediately.

Lu Liang blushed and stood at the side awkwardly.

"Annoying. Shall we take a look at the bedroom first?"

"Let's go."

Hearing their unscrupulous words, Li Mo looked at Lu Liang and chuckled. There was a high chance that the two of them were not husband and wife.

Lu Liang shrugged helplessly.

"Hubby, I quite like the bedroom renovation, but the furniture in the living room is too ugly."

"It's okay. If you don't like them, I'll get someone to throw these away after we buy the house."

"Hubby treats me the best. Give me a kiss."

The two of them kissed as they walked out. Li Mo almost vomited. It hurt his eyes.

"Hubby, there's a study over there. I'm going to transform it into a live-stream room in the future."

The two of them walked into the study to take a look. After a while, they heard the woman sneer. "What… no… Lord? What kind of person is this painter? Who gave him such a name?"

"There's no doubt that the painter is fooling us. Little darling, there's nothing to see here."

"Hubby, I like this location very much. Why don't we confirm it now?"

"Alright, alright. Then let's go out and ask for the total price. If it's suitable, we'll buy it. You have to give birth to a son for me here."

Li Mo admired the porcelain on the ancient shelf at the side. The quality of the high-quality imitations was not bad. This original owner had good taste. On the other hand, Lu Liang was slightly excited. He had heard it more clearly just now. These two people had a greater intention of buying a house.

"Little Lu, this house is not bad. How much is the total price?" the man asked heroically.

"Hello, Mr. Yao. The total preferential price of this mansion is 73.5 million yuan."

"The price of this location is not high. I can take out a 30 million down payment and take out the rest of the loans. Little Lu, I want this house."

"Hubby, you're so good to me."

"Mr. Yao, Mrs. Yao, the owner has a hard requirement that it must be a one-time cash payment in full. If the deal is done, all the furniture in this house can be given away. This is the owner's bottom line."

"What, he wants me to pay more than 70 million yuan in one go?" The man almost cursed. 30 million yuan could be gathered and taken out without affecting the company's capital flow. If he transferred more than 70 million yuan at once, it would be a serious problem if something happened to the company and the capital chain broke.

"How much can these lousy furniture be worth? Little Lu, contact the owner immediately. We can increase the down payment."

The woman was arrogant, but the man's expression was already a little ugly.

Lu Liang did not understand this, but Li Mo said calmly, "These furniture are all custom-made from Hainanese rosewood. They're not expensive. The entire set costs about two million yuan."

"Two million yuan…" The woman choked back her words. She turned around and hugged the man's arm, deliberately rubbing it a few times before saying coquettishly, "Hubby, I like this apartment."

"Baby, it's still a little difficult to gather more than 70 million yuan in two days. How about this? I'll immediately contact the finance department and get them to start transferring funds. As long as we can gather it, we'll buy it without hesitation."

"My husband still dotes on me the most."

The two of them kissed again in front of the two of them, looking like a real scene of a beauty and a beast.

"Little Lu, thank you. We'll contact you the day after tomorrow at the latest."

Li Mo couldn't help but laugh when the balding man left with his arm around the woman's small waist. He wasn't sure if they were really husband and wife, but he was sure that they wouldn't come back.

Lu Liang also wiped the sweat off his forehead and said, "One loves money, and the other loves sex. We made a wasted trip today. Li Mo, let's go too."

"Brother Lu, wait a moment. I'll go to the study to take a look. I'm quite curious about what painting that woman was mocking just now."

"The client has already left. You guys should leave immediately too."

The person in charge of the property management did not allow them to stay for another minute. Her attitude was firm.

Lu Liang hurriedly pulled Li Mo out and smiled obsequiously. "Sister, please open the door. We'll leave now."

After walking out of the district, Lu Liang took out his cell phone and said, "Let's add each other's numbers. My girlfriend took pictures of those paintings before. I'll send the photos to you later. There are real-time surveillance cameras installed inside and outside that apartment. There's no need for us to cause trouble."

"Let's go."

"Li Mo, do you know those rosewood furniture? Are they really worth more than two million yuan?"

"Still a conservative valuation."

Lu Liang clicked his tongue and said in disbelief, "Rosewood is really expensive. The world of the rich is really difficult to understand. The money for just one set of furniture could buy a 200 square meter house in the county city in our hometown. We could keep the remaining money in the bank and it would be enough to live on the interest."

"Rosewood isn't too expensive. For example, phoebe zhennan, red sandalwood, ebony wood, and so on are so expensive that they can make people doubt their lives."
