Chapter 17 Selling a house and moving, a win-win situation for both parties

"What! You're going to sell this house? ”

"How do you know?"

Harry and Sirius spoke up almost at the same time.

It's just that the former is asking Sirius, while the latter is asking Clark.

"yes, I want to move out of here and change to a better environment." Sirius explained to Harry.

Clark replied, "You've been back for a month, but I don't think you've cleaned those rooms at all, and it doesn't look like you're going to live in it for a long time." ”

As he spoke, he laughed again, "Besides, the entire British wizarding world is so big, and the news that the Blake family wants to sell their ancestral home has long been spread in the circle. ”

"But, I think it's pretty good here," Harry looked at Sirius in confusion, "this is your ancestral home, where you grew up, and you're going to sell it because you took me over and have no money?" ”

Harry looked at the empty shelves around him, then at the raunchy Sirius.

"If I'm short of money, I still have some money in Gringotts, it's all left by my dad, you're my godfather, if you need it......"

"No, no!"

Sirius waved his hand repeatedly, but Clark guessed part of the reason, and asked tentatively, "You must be tired from living here!" ”

The room fell silent, and Sirius fell silent, and after a long time, a bitter smile appeared, as if everything was silent.

Harry quickly reacted and understood what Clark meant.

It is precisely because this ancestral house carries too many bad memories of Sirius Black, so when he moves in, he will feel extremely uncomfortable.

Perhaps he desperately wanted to make a break with his terrible past so that he could start a new life.

"Actually, I've already found a new house, in Hogsmeade Village, where the price of the house is now dropping, and the money in my family is more than enough, and as for the money from the sale of the house, it will allow us to live a decent life."

Sirius smiled and told Harry what he was going to do, and Harry was relieved.

However, Clark had a different opinion about Sirius's decision, "Hogsmeade? From an investment point of view, I don't recommend buying a new house there. ”

"Why?" Sirius asked, confused.

"Of course, it's because there's no investment value there!" Clark said with a look of course, "Buying a house is buying a location, buying facilities, and buying an environment." What is there in Hogsmeade Village, the place is dilapidated, and there are few shops on the street, just a few candy shops and taverns. ”

As he spoke, he glanced at Harry again.

"There are a lot of people dangling around there every day, and you buying a house there doesn't help Harry much for his studies and growth.

There is a mother in Huaxia who moved three times for her children's studies, just to have good neighbors and let her children receive a good education.

Now, as Harry's godfather and guardian, you should think more about this. ”

Hearing Clark's words, Sirius, who didn't think there was anything wrong with it, also began to fall into deep thought, and hearing him say this, the house in Hogsmeade Village didn't seem to be so good.

"So where do I buy a house? Do you want to continue to live here? Sirius asked.

"Here?" Clark looked around the empty treasure room, and Sirius was embarrassed to see it, and then said.

"It's on the edge of central London, but it's a slum, and even Muggles don't like to live here.

Of course, this question may have been a good thing for the old wizards of the past, after all, they lived in isolation for fear of being discovered by Muggles.

But this is no longer the case, there are more wizards like Harry who grew up in Muggle families, and their social habits are very different from those of the old wizards of the past.

You tell them not to shop, not to socialize, not to hang out, to go to dinner, that's impossible! ”

It made sense, and even Harry couldn't help but nod.

Before he came, he only thought that he could get rid of Aunt Vernon and his family and live with his godfather.

But when Clark said this, he felt extremely depressed at the thought that he would live here in the future, surrounded by such an environment.

On the contrary, if it was Hogsmeade Village, he could accept it.

"So, if you really want to buy a house, I recommend you a new development," Clark said word by word as he looked at the two of them, "and that's - Fire Dragon Community!" ”

"Fire Dragon Community?"

"Fire Dragon Community!"

"Where is that? I've never heard of this wizarding community. Sirius asked curiously.

"Of course you haven't heard," Clark explained with a smile, "this dragon community hasn't been built yet." ”

"Haven't built it yet?" Sirius and Harry looked confused, they didn't build it, so what did they buy?

"Yes, it's not built yet," Clark nodded, "but the neighborhood is already in the planning and the project is in progress." ”

Next, Clark introduced Sirius and Harry to Sirius and Harry in the Black family's treasure room.

"The Fire Dragon Community is a new type of wizarding community led by the Hogwarts School Board of Trustees, relying on the excellent educational resources of Hogwarts and the rich working resources of the Dragon Farm Industrial Park.

The community address is planned to be built on the shore of the Black Lagoon at Hogwarts, surrounded by mountains and rivers, with beautiful scenery, and you can see the majestic Hogwarts Castle when you open the window, and feel the influence of knowledge day and night.

In addition, the community is surrounded by the largest dragon farm and fire dragon park in the whole of the UK, the most luxurious commercial shopping street (to be built) and the largest cluster industrial park (to be built).

In the near future, there will also be a childcare centre and a modern community hospital, and it will also be staffed by experienced property managers.

The entire Fire Dragon community will definitely become a new model and benchmark for the wizarding community, and it can be said that your living needs have been taken into account in all aspects.

At least, it won't be like the streets here, where there is no one to clean up the garbage. ”

Clark's words were so attractive that even Sirius had to admit that he was moved.

"Then how to buy a house in this Fire Dragon Community?" He couldn't help but ask.

"This community is still only in the planning, but in order to take care of those of you who have been informed in advance and are willing to buy a house, the Huolong community has also launched a pre-sale activity in advance."

Clark looks like you've made a lot of money.

"Now when you place an order and sign a contract, you can not only choose the housing location in advance, but also only need 3% of the down payment.

In addition, we will also help you enter the home of the Floo network for free, and give you a one-year, 100 gold Galleon Fire Dragon Park All-Access Card, which can take one person to play in the Fire Dragon Park for free, no need to buy tickets, and various activities do not have to queue.

Regarding the value of this card, I think you can ask Harry, he should be very clear. ”

Harry nodded subconsciously, of course he knew how popular the Fire Dragon Park was, he didn't have to queue up to be able to get free of admission, a card of 100 gold galleons was indeed worth the price, and he would return to his capital if he went to play a few more times.

"And what is the housing price of this Fire Dragon community?" Sirius asked a little nervously, in his opinion, since the house was so good, the price must not be cheap.

"The price of the house is related to the size of the house and the area, if you and Harry move in, three bedrooms will definitely be necessary, and the preliminary estimate will be around 5,000 to 6,000 gold galleons."

"That's fine." Sirius breathed a sigh of relief when he heard this offer, more than 5,000 gold Galleons only, he still had this money, and he didn't even need to use the money from the sale of the ancestral home.

Clark also knew that Sirius could afford such a price, after all, the firebolt he had given Harry last year would cost thousands of gold Galleons.

This suite was nothing more than one or two event-level broomsticks, and Sirius, who had just been compensated a large sum of money by the Ministry of Magic, was absolutely stress-free.

Moreover, the price of this house in the Huolong community has been carefully calculated by Clark and other developers.

Take Clarke's uncle, Arthur Weisley, for example, who earns about 50 gold galleons a month as a mid-level clerk in magic.

The room in the Fire Dragon community is almost equivalent to 9 to 10 years of work without eating or drinking.

This price is exactly the standard that those middle-level wizards in the wizarding world can reach by gritting their teeth and working hard.

If it is a little more expensive, only a small number of wizards can buy it, which is not conducive to the normal development of the fire dragon community.

If it is cheaper, it will not be possible to screen home buyers, and it will be difficult to maintain the high-end community image of the Huolong community.

So at this price, it can be said that it is just right.

"And the house in the Fire Dragon Community, you buy it and you earn it.

You think it's just a house, but it's an investment.

I remember that the Ministry of Magic gave you a lot of money this time, do you want to be like your father and pile all those gold gallons in your basement? Or all in Gringotts?

That's the stupidest way to do it, and the gold galleons in Gringotts don't give birth to little gold gallons, what's the difference between putting money there and putting a bunch of stones there?

Rich people like us must learn to invest and increase their capital, let money flow, and make money out of money.

Buying a house, especially a property with a good location and a small number, is precisely a means of preserving the value of the investment, and even increasing the value. ”

Clark looked at Sirius and talked eloquently, at this moment, he was not fighting alone, and the intermediary words he saw on the Internet in his previous life were all thrown out by him in a different way.

Sirius Black, a guy who has been in prison for more than ten years and has been derailed from society, how can he withstand this, he was instantly moved by Clark's words, and he couldn't wait to go to the fire dragon community where there was no shadow immediately, and buy seven, eight, or ten houses.

Of course, Clark didn't do this to trap Sirius.

The project of the Fire Dragon Community itself was negotiated by their Hogwarts School Board before, and this project was developed by the Puwit family, and it would definitely not be a finished building.

Moreover, there is no concept of real estate in the British wizarding world, not even the commercial housing market, and there is no so-called real estate financial bubble.

Sirius buys a house, it's really bought and earned.

As for why Clark did this, it was just because he had a temporary idea after learning that Sirius was going to sell his house and move.

After all, what could be more appealing than the gimmick of the noble and innocent Blake family moving into the Fire Dragon community even if they sell their ancestral home.

This will make the name of the fire dragon community an instant hit in the British wizarding world, just like inviting celebrities to advertise endorsements, which means the same.

On this point, Clark also made it clear to Sirius.

Sirius didn't care about this kind of deal, which could damage the reputation of the Blake family, and after confirming that there was no problem, he also said that he could buy another set.

"The new house Harry will definitely need when he gets married, so I'll give him a gift in advance."

One sentence moved Harry to tears, and Clark was also very happy, and immediately said that he could use his internal authority to take another set out of some of the reserved houses.

So in the following time, the matter about the treasure hidden by the Blake family has been left behind by Clark.

They talked a little more about buying a house, and then decided that it would be better to choose a date than to hit it.

The trio teleported to the empty Black Lake, walked around the neighborhood address Clark had mentioned, and then Sirius paid the down payment for both houses at once, signing the letter of intent and the contract to buy the house.

"Congratulations, Blake!" Clark handed Sirius the purchase contract and held his hand tightly, "Soon, you'll find out what a wise choice you made to choose the Fire Dragon community. ”

The two sides said goodbye in a friendly atmosphere, Harry followed his godfather back to 13 Grimmauld Place, and Clark prepared to return to his castle.

They agreed with each other to meet again when the time came for the Quidditch World Cup.

As for what you said about the treasures of the Blake family, get rid of it, there is no foundation, so you sell it to someone else for two suites, what more bicycles?

Clark returned home with a smile, turned around and passed through the fireplace, and began to instruct Mr. Pike, the steward of his trading company, to prepare a group of people to set up the shelves of the construction company and the development company first.

As for the third-party supervision, the real estate industry in the wizarding world is still a barren place, and there is no need to think about supervision and acceptance, and it will grow savagely.

It wasn't until he had arranged his work that he remembered that he still had a task to complete today.

Clark stood up, and naturally a house-elf flashed in front of him.

"Are you ready for everything I want?"

"Master, everything has been moved to the basement." The elf hurriedly bent down and bowed.

Clark nodded, waved his hand to signal that no one was following, and then went to the basement alone.

It was still the same room that Harry had visited, but at this time, in the center of the magic circle on the ground, all kinds of materials were piled up.

There are sausages, luncheon meat, bread, milk, tomatoes, potatoes, eggs, canned food and other food, as well as daily necessities such as bedding, clothes, and shoes.

In a large wooden box, you can even see some books, magazines, cards, inflatable dolls and other entertainment utensils.

These miscellaneous things filled the entire magic array, and the number was enough for a dozen people to live for half a month.

Clark was satisfied, and with one hand, a subspace portal larger than the one he had used at Blake's house, appeared above the basement.

In the next moment, this silvery-white vortex was like a giant mouth, engulfing all these materials.
