Chapter Ninety-Five: Buying a Villa
The changes that happened to Li Zhiqing, Wu Ming would not know.
Wu Ming's previous life was concerned,Most of them are Japanese comics and national comics,I don't know much about Hong Kong comicsγ
After watching the movie "Storm and Clouds Dominate the World", and then watching the "Fengyun" TV series, I heard others say that it was adapted from comics, and I began to understand Hong Kong comics.
But I have only read "Fengyun", "Chinese Heroes", "Divine Soldier Xuanqi" and "Legend of the Son of Heaven", the four most famous comics in the mainland, and only know Ma Rongcheng and Huang Yulang, two cartoonists.
Even if Li Zhiqing was brought to him, it would be impossible for him to recognize him.
β¦β¦
As soon as Wu Ming came to Xingchen Entertainment, he saw a twenty-six or seventeen-year-old young man walking over with a stack of materials, and said, "Boss, these are the information about the villa you want me to find, you can take a look first." β
Wu Ming smiled slightly when he heard this, and said, "Old Lu, you are quite efficient, you can find it so quickly!"
The "Old Lu" in Wu Ming's mouth, whose full name is Lu Junxiang, is a secretary recruited by Huo Jianning for him. He is a top student who returned from studying at Harvard University in the United States and has an MBA degree certificate.
Now that Xingchen Entertainment's family business is getting bigger and bigger, Huo Jianning must concentrate on Xingchen Entertainment's business in the future, and it is impossible to follow Wu Ming everywhere like before.
This requires someone else who can follow Wu Ming at any time to help him do things. In the end, after careful selection, it was this Lu Junxiang who came out of the elites from all walks of life.
Lu Junxiang said with a smile: "Those real estate companies, as soon as they heard that the boss wanted to buy a house, they immediately picked out all the resources. If it's not the boss, you only need Repulse Bay, and the number will be several times more. β
"Who made my whole family love Repulse Bay!"
Wu Ming picked up the information and looked at it, all the small and medium-sized villas were directly excluded, and this time he wanted to buy the biggest. In the end, there are only two sets left that look better from the pictures.
The unit of area of Hong Kong is different from that of the mainland, and the British unit of measurement is customary, with 1,000 square feet equal to 90 square meters.
Different from the mainland, in Xiangjiang, a place where every inch of land is valuable, more than 1,000 feet can already be regarded as a luxury house.
After all, Hong Kong calculates the area of a house using the usable area, which is the actual living area within the so-called wall-to-wall.
Buying a house in the mainland is too pitiful, and the real estate company calculates the area of the house based on the construction area. This includes facades, etc., as well as apportioned area within the apartment complex.
Therefore, there is the concept of "EFF", that is, the ratio of actual usable area to floor area.
Some developers with a little conscience can develop a real estate yield of 80%, and some unscrupulous developers can only have a 75% rate.
In his previous life, Wu Ming bought a house in the magic capital, which was 110 square meters on the surface, but in fact it was only about 85 square meters.
After picking a house, Wu Ming said with a smile: "I'll choose these two sets, you go to contact the real estate company now, I'm going to see the house in the afternoon." β
"Got it, boss, I'll go get ready now. β
Lu Junxiang took the information and walked out of the office while looking at it.
Both of these mansions have a large plot of land, one is 17,000 square feet and the other is 21,000 square feet.
In other words, both of these are super mansions covering an area of thousands of square meters. In later generations, it will take at least hundreds of millions of Hong Kong dollars to win this kind of mansion.
However, the housing prices in this era are not so high, only three or four hundred per square foot, the small one is priced at 6 million Hong Kong dollars, and the large one is priced at 7.5 million Hong Kong dollars, which is already considered the price of cabbage.
In the afternoon, Wu Ming's family and Lu Junxiang came to the Repulse Bay mansion area, followed by Zhu Yin, Zhou Huimin, Sakai Fazi and the Gu family brothers.
The convoy stopped at the top of the tree-lined path.
Wu Ming and his entourage walked down from the car one after another and looked forward.
The villa in front of you is mixed with a romantic and noble atmosphere, with a hollow carved grand gate, a round arched window and a corner stonework, showing the owner's goodness. Fresh and unconventional, white stucco walls combined with light red roof tiles.
"It's so big here, and there's a swimming pool!"
As soon as he entered the villa, Zhu Yin ran around, and exclaimed loudly when he saw the scene around him.
The other little ones were also stunned by the luxurious sight.
Li Yao, the aunt who just came to Xiangjiang, was even more dumbfounded.
Separate garden, spacious swimming pool, three-storey duplex villa...... Everything looks so pleasing to the eye.
After Wu Ming and his entourage visited the two villas, they came to the beach of Repulse Bay and discussed which one to buy.
"Dad, Mom, which one do you think is better?" Wu Ming asked with a smile.
After pondering for a while, Li Feng shook his head and said with a wry smile: "It's too difficult to choose, these two villas are very good, the scenery and environment are good, the facilities are complete, and the space is spacious, I really don't know which one to choose." β
Hearing this, Wu Bingan nodded and agreed: "Indeed, the two villas have their own wins, and it is really difficult to choose." β
Seeing that his parents looked embarrassed, Wu Ming looked at Li Yao again and asked, "Auntie, what do you think?"
Li Yao saw that his nephew actually came to ask him, and couldn't help but smile bitterly: "Xiao Ming, I've only been in Xiangjiang for a few days, and I haven't even seen your family's current house before." What's more, these two villas are now much more luxurious than yours, how can I tell the difference. β
Wu Ming then asked the opinions of a few more friends, and finally made a decision.
"Let's choose the big one, there is one more tennis court than the small one, and we can swim and play tennis in the room in the future. β
Wu Ming called Lu Junxiang to his side.
"Lao Lu, we will choose the big one, you go to negotiate with the real estate company, and the lower part will give you 20% of the hardship fee. β
"Really!" Lu Junxiang said excitedly, he didn't expect to get such a high hardship fee for running errands this time.
With a high price of 7.5 million, he is sure to lower hundreds of thousands, that is, tens of thousands of hard work, which is worth his salary for one or two months.
Wu Ming nodded and affirmed: "Of course it's true, what I said is still false, go and handle this matter well, I want the result within three days." β
"Got it, boss. β
Lu Junxiang nodded excitedly, and then immediately ran away and went to the real estate company to bargain.
Lu Junxiang is indeed a high-achieving student who has obtained an MBA degree certificate from Harvard University, and successfully pushed the price to 6.9 million Hong Kong dollars the next day. After that, no matter how hard he tried, the real estate company refused to let go.
Seeing that it was no longer possible to lower the price, Lu Junxiang immediately reported to Wu Ming.
That night, the property rights of the mansion were transferred to Wu Ming's name.
On the fourth day, Wu Ming's family carried out a mighty move and moved to the mansion.
In order to take care of such a large villa, Wu Ming also specially invited housekeepers, gardeners, and maids.
Those bodyguards don't have to run home every night.
