Chapter 687 The Turtle is the Turtle (43 Monthly Pass Plus Update)

"Okay, I can give you another 10,000 Canadian dollars worth of renovation costs, I am always very considerate to customers!" Al felt that what Hong Tao said was very reasonable, at least he didn't understand it, and what he didn't understand in general might be very profound, so he paid a renovation fee.

"No, no, Mr. Al, 10,000 Canadian dollars is not enough for the plane ticket money of the priest and his entourage, the priest also has assistants, to deal with this vicious curse, it is not possible to rely on one person, it must be a team!" Hong Tao felt that 10,000 yuan was not enough.

“…… What about the 760,000 Canadian dollars? 30,000 Canadian dollars can allow the Maple Leafs to play in Europe...... "Al's facial features are about to be misplaced, and the pain is worse than the death of his father.

"The problem is that if you can't give me a reasonable price that I'm acceptable, I can't guarantee that I won't keep this damning thing to heart. You see, I don't believe in any religion, I don't have any friends here, and I'm not a gentleman, so I think I can hire someone to talk about the cursed mansion in the newspaper for five hundred dollars. Hong Tao found a stronger reason, he felt that the mansions in Hong Kong seemed to pay attention to feng shui or something, although white people don't believe in this, but they still believe in curses, vampires and other things.

"If you weren't from China, I'd even think you're our fellow Jew!Well, you give me a price, and if I can accept it, then make a deal!" Al put away his miserable expression now, and simply had a showdown with Hong Tao.

"Five is an auspicious number in China, and I think half a million Canadian dollars is very good. Besides, if you look at the garden on the left, and then at the garden on the right, oh my God! They are all bigger than mine, and there are tennis courts, I live here very depressing, if it weren't for my kindness, I would have only paid 400,000 Canadian dollars......" Hong Tao said as he pointed to the neighbors on both sides, looking through the gap in the woods, his garden was indeed much smaller.

"Mr. Hong, you only look at the garden in front of the house, and at the back of your house, there is a bigger area that belongs to you, the total area here is 2.5 acres, and the tennis court and swimming pool are in the back......" This time Al did not give in, he looked at Hong Tao like an idiot.

"Lead the way! I'll take a look!" Hong Tao was thick-skinned, automatically filtered the comments just now, and then followed Al through the back door under the stairs to the back of the house.

"You see, from here all the way to that woods in the distance, it belongs to this house, and there's your tennis court, and in the corner is your pool, a big pool. Al pointed triumphantly to Hong Tao.

There was indeed a large lawn at the back of the house, about the size of a football field, and at the end was a lush wood, with trees on both sides, but a little sparse, and only used to mark the boundaries with the neighbors on either side. On the left side of the meadow, there is a grass tennis court, and on the right is a circular swimming pool, but now it is empty and empty.

"Actually, on the roof, there is a smaller pool, the big pool was left by the owner of the house earlier, and it has not been used for several years. It used to be a wooden house, very beautiful, but it's a pity that ......" Al looked at Hong Tao, who was a little embarrassed, and added a fire, although he didn't say it explicitly, the meaning is probably this: Brother, you didn't say it now!

"How big is 2.5 acres? How many square meters?" Hong Tao held back for a long time, and finally held back a sentence.

“…… It is about 12,000 square meters. Al is a real estate agent who specializes in high-end residences, and he quickly gave Hong Tao a roughly accurate figure.

"Do you think it would cost a lot to tear down this pool and turn it into a football field?" Hong Tao pointed to the entire backyard.

"Football, if you don't change the lawn, it's about 20,000 Canadian dollars......" Al was confused about the sport of football, but still gave an estimated price.

"Okay, then we'll have $700,000! Buy it in full, and if you say one more word, I'll go to Forest Hill with Mr. Roman to see another house!" Hong Tao finally found another reason to bargain, in fact, when he didn't look at the back, he thought that $500,000 was acceptable. Because the size of this house is at least four Nina's houses, the front garden alone is several times larger than Sergey's front and back gardens combined. But now there's an extra football field in the back, and $700,000 is reasonable by area.

"No, no, no, the owner of this house has a small houseboat on Lake Ontario that is also within this price. "Al is quite honest, even if he doesn't tell Hong Tao, Hong Tao doesn't know the storage of the houseboat. However, this is impossible, because the legal documents here are very detailed and complete, and for things like buying and selling real estate, a real estate agent alone cannot go through the full set of procedures, and there are many documents that require the presence of lawyers from both parties to sign. In addition, once an agent like Al is found to have cheated customers, he will no longer be able to engage in this industry in the whole of Toronto and even Canada, which is what we often call the benefit of high cost of breaking the law. If the cost of breaking the law was low, it is estimated that this houseboat would have been embezzled by him a long time ago.

"Is there a boathouse or a sailboat or something?" Hong Tao was immediately interested when he heard about the houseboat, he had always had a good impression of water, and he was not satisfied with a small house built on the water's edge, it would be better if there was another boat.

"It's a pity that his two sailboats were sold half a year ago and were not put up for sale with this house. But if you want to buy a boat, I can introduce you to a good agent, as professional and honest as I am!" Al shook his head, complimenting himself in passing.

"Forget it, I'll look for you when I want to buy a boat in the future, let's talk about this business first, 700,000 Canadian dollars in full, how about it?" Hong Tao doesn't want to make a big fuss now, because he doesn't have a lot of money in his hand now, and this big mansion is already beyond his budget, and if he buys another boat, it will be a bit too extravagant, and he won't have time to play with the boat in a short time.

"Actually, you should go to ForestHill to live, do you know why?" Al couldn't wait to reach a verbal promise with Hong Tao, and then asked Hong Tao in a low voice.

"Why? Is the house over there weirder?" Hong Tao really didn't know what was special about ForestHill.

"Because it's a Jewish community over there, you're no worse than a Jew on the bargaining table!" Al was quite humorous, and he didn't know if he was praising Hongtao or running on Hongtao.

In fact, Hong Tao knows very well that 700,000 Canadian dollars is far from the reserve price of Al. But he doesn't have the habit of bargaining, and the reason why he wasted talking for so long is mainly to stop him from thinking that he is a big head when talking to Roman, in fact, sometimes he is a big head. Normally, Hong Tao will ask others to help him do this kind of thing, such as Tan Jing, Nina or Han Xue, but these people are not here at the moment, so he can only be slaughtered by himself.

But he didn't think so in his own heart, he felt that when he had a thousand yuan, he could pay a few more dollars, which was not a loss. If you have 10 million, then it's nothing to pay tens of thousands more. If you have hundreds of millions, it doesn't matter if you pay hundreds of thousands, people can't worry about spending money, they can do as much as they want, this is happiness and enjoyment.

"In addition, the owner of this house has left a letter for his successor, and when we have completed the formalities, the lawyer will hand it over to you directly. The owner of the house said that it was a secret and that no one could look at it except the successor of the house. Maybe it's a treasure chest, I thought, and it's buried somewhere in this meadow, and when you see the letter, it's a chest of treasure that comes out. Al sold a backlog of goods in his hand, and the love was also very good, and whispered a secret to Hong Tao.

"Well, if there's really a treasure, I'll give you half of it when it's dug up!" Hong Tao was unimpressed, thinking that this was a trick of the Jewish profiteer to amuse the customer.

When buying a house in Canada, a verbal agreement and an advance payment are only the first step, and when Hong Tao writes a check for $10,000 to Al, this is the real process of buying a house. Next, Hong Tao has to find a real estate appraiser to conduct a thorough inspection of the whole house, and then compare the inspection report provided by Ayr, if there is any discrepancy, then the price has to be changed. Then there is the signing of the contract and the deadline for payment, which is usually about thirty days. Finally, go to the city hall to go through the transfer procedures, which is the whole completion of the house purchase process.

Of course, Hong Tao won't do these trivial things, and he won't do them. But it doesn't matter, he can call Nina's lawyer, and they will help Hong Tao complete these processes, and they have to ensure quality and quantity, which is more efficient than Hong Tao himself.

"You're a very interesting little guy who bought such a house for $700,000 in less than an hour. You know, it's been more than two years since no one took care of it, what do you like about it?" Roman didn't point a finger at Hong Tao's decision, only after Hong Tao completed the deal, he expressed his personal opinion.

"When I was looking at the house just now, I noticed a beautiful woman walking a dog in the backyard of the neighbor on the left, so I thought that if I became a neighbor with her, maybe I would have a chance to get to know her. If I can marry her, maybe her yard will belong to me in the future, this investment is not a loss!" After buying a house that he felt he was satisfied with, Hong Tao was very interested, so high that he began to joke with Roman, the gang leader, which should be called getting carried away. R1152
