Lu Chen sold a total of 41% of Muchen Crowdfunding's shares to Li Mushi, or the Li family.
The total amount of the transaction was 20.5 million.
Then after deducting taxes, lawyer's fees, notarization fees, and other miscellaneous fees, he finally got 17.5 million.
This money was more than enough to pay off the debt, but to redeem his family's original villa …
It really wasn't enough.
Although Binhai was a fourth-tier county-level city, because it was located in the economically developed coastal area of eastern Zhejiang, the housing price was quite high. The average price was 15,000 +, and buying a decent big house often cost two or three million.
And the villa that the Lu family had originally taken away by the bank, in the best Jingsheng District in Binhai City, the current market price was definitely more than 10 million, conservatively estimated to be about 12 million!
So when he came back this time, Lu Chen asked Lu Xi to transfer another sum of money from the studio's account.
He almost emptied the account.
But this villa that originally belonged to the Lu family, he must take it back.
In that big house, there were too many joys and sorrows that belonged to this family, as well as countless memories!
Before, Lu Chen couldn't do anything about it, but now that he had earned the money, he wouldn't let himself regret it.
Fortunately, this house has not been auctioned off by the bank so far.
The reason was not that the bank didn't want to sell it, but that the previous few auctions were unsuccessful.
A villa of 12 million was not something that anyone could afford to sell casually. With this money, one could buy a very good house in Beijing. It was true that Binhai was rich, but the really rich didn't have to worry about a place to live.
The most important thing was that the Lu family's business had an accident, and Lu Qingsheng died of illness in the villa. For those who could afford it, it was undoubtedly a big taboo.
As for the bank, the current real estate market was booming, and housing prices were rising. Naturally, they were unwilling to sell this rare property at a low price, so it was delayed.
Otherwise, under normal circumstances, it should have been sold long ago, and it wouldn't have been Lu Chen's turn to redeem it.
When Lu Chen checked the account with his mobile phone and showed the account balance to Fang Yun, she finally believed it.
Fang Yun's heart was filled with emotions. She was pleasantly surprised and didn't know what to say.
What made her happiest was not paying off the debt and redeeming the house, but that Lu Chen had truly grown up and could become the pillar that supported the Lu family!
Fang Yun believed that Lu Qingsheng's spirit in heaven could rest in peace.
The corners of her eyes overflowed with tears of joy, excitement, and sadness.
Seeing this, Lu Chen raised his glass and said, "Come! Let's have a toast and wish our family a brighter future. "
Lu Xue couldn't wait to raise her glass. "Cheers!"
Fang Yun wiped her tears and raised her glass. "Cheers …"
Four crystal clear wine glasses gently collided with each other, and the dark red wine rippled with fragmented light.
He believed that the future would be even better!
…
Lu Chen and Lu Xi lived in Binhai for four days, mainly to accompany Fang Yun to pay off the debt and redeem the house.
Paying off the debt was actually very simple. The small part had already been paid off, and the rest were all large ones. They directly transferred the money with their mobile phones, and then sent a gift to express their gratitude.
In the past few years, the Lu family had owed so much money, and there were only a few people who really came to the door to press for the debt. Everyone knew that the Lu family really couldn't pay off the debt, not that they didn't want to. Some creditors even gave up the idea of pursuing the debt.
Now, it could be said that they had gained a pleasant surprise.
The Lu family had finally come out of trouble.
The process of redeeming the house was a little more troublesome, but the Lu family still had acquaintances in the bank. When the business was difficult, they couldn't help, but now it was much easier to redeem the house with money.
On the fourth morning after Lu Chen returned to Binhai, he got the door key of the villa.
The re-transfer procedures were still being processed, but that was not the point.
Returning to Jingsheng District and coming to the villa where he had lived for many years, Lu Chen's mood couldn't be described in words.
Excitement, excitement, joy … and even a little timidity.
Jingsheng District was the best district in Binhai City. Although it was built very early, whether it was the geographical location or the surrounding environment, it couldn't be compared to the newly developed real estate in recent years.
Therefore, the housing prices here were very expensive. The price of second-hand houses was Big, much higher than the new houses in other places.
The Lu family's single-family villa was purchased in 2002. At that time, it was considered cheap. It only cost a little more than one million. Including the renovation, the total cost was a little more than two million, and the area was 350 square meters.
Lu Chen had lived in this house for a whole 10 years!
He and Lu Xue could be said to have grown up in this villa, and they were very familiar with every grass and every tree.
It was just that no one had taken care of it in the past two years. The private garden in front of the villa was full of weeds, climbing vines could be seen everywhere, and even the doors and windows showed signs of damage.
Fortunately, the door could still be opened.
A smell of old moldy dust hit him in the face!
The furniture and furnishings in the living room were still there, all covered with dust-proof white cloth, including the piano that Lu Chen received as a gift on his 13th birthday. It seemed that time had frozen here.
Everything brought countless memories to Lu Chen.
Even if the ground was covered with a thick layer of dust, Fang Yun, Lu Xi, and Lu Xue, who came back with Lu Chen, were very happy — this was their real home!
Lu Xue didn't care about the dirt and dust. She quickly ran up the stairs and rushed to her room.
A string of laughter like silver bells sprinkled down.
Lu Chen smiled and said, "Mom, I think it's better to redecorate it first. It's simple and doesn't cost a lot of money."
Fang Yun's idea was to find someone to clean it. After all, they had spent too much money recently, and it was better to save as much as possible.
She shook her head and said, "Let's talk about it later …"
Lu Chen gave Lu Xi a look and let her sister persuade his mother.
He went straight to the piano, lifted the white cloth, and sat down on the piano stool.
Lifting the cover, Lu Chen gently pressed the piano keys.
This piano had been bought for nearly ten years. In fact, he rarely practiced it, and it was just a big toy.
Now the sound of the piano was still the same, but the people had changed.
After sitting up straight, Lu Chen began to play seriously.
At this moment, here, he had a song he wanted to sing to his mother and his late father.
His mother who gave everything for this family!
"You leave quietly,
Step by step, lonely figure.
I want to accompany you,
Tell you how much I love you in my heart.
Flowers bloom quietly,
In the night when I suddenly miss you.
I want to tell you,
In fact, you have always been my miracle!
Year after year, the wind and frost cover your smile,
Who else can understand your lonely heart?
Is it spring flowers and autumn moon heartless,
Spring leaves and autumn comes, your love is silent!
You give me all your love, you give me the world,
From then on, I don't know the pain and joy in your heart.
I want to be close to you,
Nestling in your warm and lonely arms,
Tell you that I have always understood you!
I want to tell you,
Your loneliness and my heartache are together! "
The name of this song was "Understand You". In Lu Chen's dream world, it was an episode of a movie.
It expressed the child's nostalgia and love for his parents.
The wind and frost of the fleeting years mercilessly dyed the mother's black hair white. Year after year, spring leaves and autumn comes, winter comes and summer comes. The children are fully fledged and have a sky of their own, but also exhausted most of the mother's life.
The white hair and frost on the temples could not cover her smile. It was the mother's life that only knew "give me all your love, give me the world", without a trace of enjoyment — the mother was used to silent dedication, and she never thought about repaying.
And when the children let go of their dreams, have they ever forgotten to walk into their mother's heart and understand the world of their mother's mind?
When the family changed and his father died of illness, Lu Chen seemed to fall into the dust overnight.
At that time, he had hatred and resentment.
At that time, Lu Chen did not understand why Fang Yun wanted to bear all the huge debts by herself.
In the traditional view, when a person dies, the debts disappear. After all, it was Lu Qingsheng who wrote the IOU.
But now Lu Chen has fully understood that Fang Yun chose to face and bear all this because she did not want the Lu family to bear the stigma of ingratitude. She did not want her father to be cursed and hated after his death.
She was telling herself that a person should know how to be grateful and stick to morality and conscience!
Thinking back to those relatives and friends who received the debts, the joy and relief on their faces …
He really understood.
Fang Yun and Lu Xi stood side by side in the living room, quietly listening to Lu Chen play and sing this song.
They had never heard it before, but they both understood the lyrics.
Fang Yun smiled, but her tears couldn't stop flowing down, wetting her clothes little by little.
She knew that Lu Chen sang this song for her.
She felt that all the efforts of her life had been repaid at this moment!
Clap! Clap! Clap!
When LuChen finished playing the last note, applause suddenly came from the gate.
No one knew when, but a lot of people gathered at the gate, and they were all the neighbors of the Lu family.
They had lived in the house for about the same time as the Lu family, and they had known the Lu family for a long time. They had a good relationship with each other and knew the changes that the Lu family had gone through.
Everyone thought that the Lu family would never come back, but they did not expect to see them again.
Everyone was attracted by the sound of the piano and Lu Chen's singing.
The villa, which had been quiet for several years, suddenly became lively. Fang Yun and Lu Xi greeted the neighbors with a smile, telling them that they had redeemed the house and would soon move back.
Of course, the neighbors congratulated them warmly.
It was really not easy for the Lu family to turn around!
And Lu Chen, who had become a celebrity in Binhai, naturally received the most attention.
There was even someone who wanted to be a matchmaker for him on the spot, selling him the daughters and nieces of the seventh aunt and the eighth aunt!
In this regard, Lu Chen could only run away.
The next day, October 18th, he and Lu Xi took the high-speed train to Hangzhou.
They were going to perform that night.
