Zhuang Bifan's voice carried a strong confidence. Sima Yun, www.biquge.info of the pen "Fun" Pavilion, smiled and changed the topic: "The intermediary we found two days ago said that there are two houses for sale that meet our requirements. ”

"Which do you think is more suitable?"

Sima Yun pursed her mouth: "You haven't come back yet, so I won't go to see it alone!" This is his and her's future home, of course, the two of them have to watch it together.

"Then we'll check it out now!"

"Why don't you rest first and come back tomorrow?"

Zhuang Bifan chuckled and said, "It's not that you don't know how tired I can be." Let's go to see the house first, settle down if it's suitable, and go buy furniture tomorrow and move in as soon as possible. "They're on their way to the hotel right now. Obviously, Sima Yun was unwilling to live in Sima Family's manor in Tianhai anymore.

It's too aggrieved to let her live in a hotel!

According to the address given by the intermediary, when they arrived at the place, a bald middle-aged man trotted over to help them open the car door, and after they got out of the car, the middle-aged man said: "Hello Mr. Zhuang, hello Miss Sima! I am the general manager of Tianju Real Estate, Zhen Tiancai, and I am honored to serve the two of them." ”

What a genius? Sima Yun almost laughed. Zhuang Bifan glanced at her with a smile before saying to Zhen Tiancai: "Mr. Zhen is polite, I didn't expect you to come to show us the house in person." This is it?"

They are located at the gate of a small estate on the outskirts of the city. The main entrance is a large Western medieval style iron gate with a small angel at the top. The gate can accommodate at least two large trucks side by side. More than 100 meters long on each side of the wall, a rough surface slab about one meter high was pasted at the bottom of the wall, and then there were 50 centimeter-wide pillars, and the pillars were also pasted with marble slabs. In the middle of the pillar is a metal railing about the thickness of a child's arm and about 1.8 meters high, and the width between the metal railings is 20 centimeters, but there are some Western sculptures or patterns connected in the middle, and even children cannot get into it.

At the top is a beam about thirty or forty centimeters thick, and at the top is a black glazed tile. The walls are covered with unnamed climbing plants, and you can't see inside at all. There are also some poplar branches and leaves within the wall that protrude several meters from the wall.

The branches are very tall and thick, and such poplars are probably at least a hundred years old.

Zhen Tiancai nodded with a smile and said: "This was originally the manor of the Pu family, but the Pu family had no male children sixty years ago, and this manor was inherited by the daughter who married an American." The current owner is the son of Ms. Pu. Although he had only been back once, the estate had been taken care of. ”

Sima Yun asked him, "Then why did he sell this manor?"

"Maybe it's because you need a cash flow, or maybe you don't want to spend more money on maintaining the estate. ”

Sima Yun nodded, and didn't ask again.

Zhuang Bifan asked, "Can we go in and have a look?"

"Of course, I'll have you open the door for both of you. Please get on the bus first. ”

They got back into the car, and he saw that Zhen Tiancai made a phone call, and after a short while, the iron door opened automatically. Then I saw Zhen Tiancai get into the car, flashed the lights a few times, and issued a "follow me" signal.

After the car drove into the manor, the iron gate was closed again. However, Zhuang Bifan saw that under the shade of greenery, a straight asphalt road led straight to a Western-style palace-like building. The entire façade of the building is decorated with white marble, and the front of the gate is a staircase, and there are ramps on both sides for cars to go up and down.

The road of more than a hundred meters was soon reached. They got out of the car again, and Zhen Tiancai whispered a few words to an old Western man, and then came over to them and said, "Mr. Zhuang, Miss Sima, this is the Doria butler who is in charge of taking care of the manor, and he is responsible for taking us on a tour." ”

Zhuang Bifan said to Doria in English: "Excuse me." ”

"It's my pleasure. This gentleman, and this beautiful lady, I have received a call from the host, please come with me now. I'll take you two on a tour of Pu's Manor. ”

As he spoke, he turned and climbed the stairs, pushing open the thick mahogany door that was more than three meters high. Zhuang Bifan and they followed, and Doria stood by the door and bowed slightly and made a gesture to invite them in. After they entered the door, they introduced in English: "This villa is the main building of the manor, converted into metric, about 1,630 square meters, the main building has a total of three floors, and another attic. ”

After entering the door, Zhuang Bifan looked at the foyer, the width of the foyer was five or six meters, but the length was only about three or four meters, leading directly to the hall. Inside, there are four small plaster sculptures more than one meter high in the west, and the sculptures are surrounded by flower gods without shirts, holding up a platform on which a large celadon vase is placed.

There is a large crystal chandelier overhead, and there are round pillars on the walls, which are also equipped with classical sconces.

They walked to the hall, and Doria continued: "This is the main hall of the villa, twenty-eight meters long and sixteen meters wide. It can be used as a banquet or dance party. ”

Zhuang Bifan looked at the middle of the hall There was not a single pillar in the middle, only six white marble pillars with a diameter of more than one meter on both sides, which stood up to the arched beams five or six meters high above. This ballroom is two storeys high and has a view of the corridor. There are stairs on both sides to the second floor.

In the middle of the top there is a large crystal chandelier with a diameter of at least three meters. In addition, there are four squares with a diameter of about two meters, which enclose the large chandelier in the middle.

And there are crystal sconces on the walls and pillars. At the end of the banquet hall, there is a stage with two large windows on the walls. The glass on the windows is made of colored glass in the book. There is a carpet in the middle of the floor, and the floor is a meter long white marble floor tiles. And against the wall, there are quite a few Western classical furniture.

Zhuang Bifan held Sima Yun's hand and asked softly, "What do you think?"

"Nice, very western palace feel. Sima Yun looked up and said with a smile.

Then they went to see a few rooms, the master room, the guest room. The interior decoration is classical, but not quaint. The master room is large, not only is the furniture made of mahogany, but there is also a small swimming pool next to it.

In addition to these rooms, there is also an underground wine cellar, which contains most of the red wine or white wine produced in the Chinese Empire, and a small number of red wine or cognac produced in Europe, with more than 38,000 bottles. Those wines are at least sixty years old. But the wine is very well preserved. ”

Then they followed them around outside, there were a lot of flower beds, all well trimmed, and there was a glass greenhouse of two or three hundred square meters. There are several gazebos for resting, as well as a worker's room for workers, and a garage for at least ten cars. There is also a small man-made lake, which is replenished by spring water. Most of the ground is shaded by large trees, but there are paths under the big trees, and the rest is lawn.

"Thank you, Doria!" Doria is just a leading party, and after completing the leading figure, he is not needed for the rest of the matter.

asked Sima Yun's opinion again.

Sima Yun said: "Very good. Such a manor is now difficult to find in Huaxia. She remembers that last year, a villa that was less than an acre of land for more than 100 years and some years old was sold for more than 300 million.

Zhuang Bifan waited for Doria to leave and asked Zhen Tiancai: "Mr. Zhen, we are very satisfied with this manor." How much does the seller offer?"

"The scope of the seller's offer to sell includes everything on the estate, including furniture, cars, wine storage, and so on. But he asked for 3.6 billion and did not accept the bargain. And a cash transaction is required. ”

The last one is what deters many potential buyers. Three billion doesn't seem like a lot. But there are very few people who can come up with that much cash, and now that the economy is in a period of austerity, real estate prices have begun to decline because of subprime mortgages, and many people like the estate, but they don't make a move.

The entire estate has a land area of 6.5 hectares, and although it is a suburb, it is also a concentration of wealthy people. There are many villas and estates of the wealthy, so the land price here is not cheap. Although 3.6 billion is a little more expensive, it is less than 60,000 per square meter, and there is also a villa that Zhuang Bifan and Sima Yun are quite satisfied with. This price is not outrageously expensive.

Since the other party did not accept the bargain, Zhuang Bifan glanced at Sima Yun. Sima Yun didn't ask anything, so he said, "Then when can the formalities be completed?"

Zhen Tiancai said with a smile: "The seller has entrusted a domestic lawyer to operate the sale of this manor, and I will call him immediately." If there are no problems, all the formalities can be completed today. "Although their company only charges 0.3% of the fee, it is also tens of millions of dollars.

Zhuang Bifan nodded when he heard it and said, "Okay." "The good thing about this estate is that you don't have to redecorate or buy furniture at all, and you can move in right away. If you really want to redecorate and decorate, you can also save a lot of effort and time.

As for 3.6 billion in cash, he can afford it!

Both parties want to get the formalities done as quickly as possible. After roughly counting all the items on the list, Zhuang Bifan signed his name on the contract, and then rushed to complete the transfer procedures.

After completing the formalities, it was already past five o'clock, and Zhuang Bifan didn't want to move at this time, so he and Sima Yun continued to stay in the hotel for another night.

The two told each other what they had done in the past few days, and when they learned that Ming Ziluo had taken her to meet some councilors, he didn't say anything more. That said that Ming Ming Ziluo should have supported him in dredging the river, but he had to rely on the strength of other people to do this.

However, they soon stopped talking about these things and began to discuss how to settle the newly purchased estate.

Sima Yun pointed his finger to his lips and thought for a moment, and said, "Let's move in tomorrow." The layout inside is slowly revised when we have time. ”

Zhuang Bifan nodded and said, "I also think about it." I haven't been back to my rental house for a long time. Cleaning was also a bit of a hassle. You can move in right now. It's just that I'm thinking about whether the workers there are going to stay, or whether to call the androids to act as servants. ”
