Chapter 4 What is Girls' Generation?
Lin Yi was thinking about the feasibility of this matter, and then looked at his sister, saw her sincere eyes, and saw her nervously holding her little hand, Lin Yi still decided to stay first, and when she was older enough to take care of herself, she would go back to the United States.
"Okay, brother stays." Lin Yi hugged Zhang Yuanying and promised her.
"Really?" Zhang Yuanying was still a little unconvinced.
Lin Yi smiled and nodded affirmatively.
"Oba, you're so nice, I like you the most." Zhang Yuanying happily kissed Lin Yi on the cheek, she didn't have to be separated from her brother.
Since Lin Yi has decided to stay in Seoul, he has to plan for the future, and he can't stay in a hotel all the time. In addition to finding a place to live, part of his career in the United States had to be transferred here.
Because it is now the summer vacation, Zhang Yuanying, a prospective elementary school student, does not have to go to school, so he follows Lin Yi around Seoul, sleeps on his shoulder when he is tired, and is fed when he is hungry and thirsty.
In fact, it can't be said that it is running around, Lin Yi is looking for a suitable place, he also has an understanding of Seoul during this time, and he also has a general understanding of the division of various regions, and he has also done a survey on the living habits of the people of Seoul.
Lin Yi is going to buy a building, the bottom two floors will be used as a café, the upper floors will be rented out, and one floor will be set aside for his studio, and the highest floor will be lived with Zhang Yuanying.
It's the best of both worlds, having a place to live and a place to work.
After several days of traveling around various areas of Seoul, Lin Yi finally found a suitable place, which is a 9-story building located next to a busy street in Gangnam-gu, from the outside, this building will not be built for too long, and the surrounding area is also very convenient, all kinds of convenience stores, shops are everything, and the most commendable thing is that it is less than 200 meters away from the subway station, which can be said to be an excellent location.
The reason why the owner of this building wants to sell this building is also because other businesses have been affected, and he urgently needs a large amount of cash to support it, otherwise he would not have sold it, this is a hen that lays golden eggs.
This building has been listed for a month, and there are many interested buyers, after all, this is Gangnam District, and the location is excellent, so it can be said that every inch of land is a valuable place.
However, because the price of the landlord is too high, 20% higher than the surrounding business, and the transaction must be all cash, and the loan is not accepted, these interested buyers are stopped.
Lin Yi made an appointment with the landlord through an intermediary. (All subsequent dialogues have been translated, and will not be specifically explained.) )
"Hello, are you going to buy Mr. Lin from my building?" When the landlord saw that he was actually a young man about 20 years old, he retreated, can he have so much money at such a young age?
"Hello, I am." Lin Yi responded with a smile.
"You're from Huaxia?" The head of the household also learned about Lin Yi's information with the intermediary in advance, and it was because he was a Chinese that he did not turn around and leave, and the image of Chinese people being rich over the years has been engraved in the impression of many people.
"Yes, but I'm an American, so I should be able to buy a property here." Lin Yi became an American citizen at the age of 18 because he never planned to return to China.
"You're American? That's okay, my building is priced at 50 billion won, and I don't accept a counteroffer, can you accept it? ”
"Can I go and see it?" Lin Yi didn't pay much attention to the price, 50 billion won is converted to about 40 million dollars at the current exchange rate, which is less than 1/20 of his assets, not to mention that he has a large inheritance that he has just taken over.
"Yes." may also see that Lin Yi does have the idea of buying, and it seems that it is not bad for money, so the landlord also agreed very happily.
"Is this your daughter?" The landlord looked at the girl next to him, who was obviously 7 or 8 years old, puzzled.
"No, it's my sister."
"You two brothers and sisters really look alike."
Lin Yi smiled and didn't speak.
Before coming to the 9-story building, the landlord also began to introduce him to the building.
"It was only completed in December '09, and it has been in use for less than two years now, and all the facilities in it are very new."
"This building has a total of ten floors, and there is another floor underground, which can park about 30 standard small bridge vehicles."
"There are a total of 9 floors on the ground, the area of each floor is about the same, the bottom two floors are the largest, each floor is almost 700 square meters, 3~6 floors are about 600 square meters each, the top three floors are about 550 square meters, adding up to a total of 5,600 square meters of this building, in this area, I want the price is not expensive."
"The price is easy to say, but what about the merchants here?"
Lin Yi noticed that several floors had been rented out.
"Their contracts are until the end of this year, if you are satisfied, let them continue to rent, and if they are not satisfied, notify them in advance according to the contract."
"Okay, I don't have any problems, when will I be able to hand over at the earliest?"
"As long as you pay in time, you can hand it over immediately."
"Yes, you can prepare the contract."
Lin Yi didn't plan to delay it, and it wasn't interesting to talk about billion-two billion won.
"Happy, it's the first time I've met you so refreshingly, so let's do it, even if I make a friend, I still have a car to give to you, don't worry, I haven't driven it, it's a new car."
"Thank you then."
Although Lin Yi doesn't have a Korean driver's license, it's not difficult to get a certificate, anyway, he has a lot of time.
Within a few days, all the formalities were completed, and Lin Yi also owned his first property in South Korea.
"Yuan Ying, we'll move in a while."
"Oba, is that the same building we went to see last time?"
"yes, do you like that?"
"Yes, I like it."
These days, Zhang Yuanying lives in a hotel with Lin Yi, and for this reason, Lin Yi also deliberately changed to a family suite.
After taking over the building, Lin Yi also began to design the entire building, although he had never studied design, but the painting skills he learned since childhood still allowed him to put the ideas in his mind on paper.
The first is to completely open up the bottom two floors and make a light luxury double-storey café.
This coffee shop doesn't ask how much money it can make, as long as it can maintain normal operation, the way to make money, Lin Yiduo, just take it out, it makes more money than the café.
This building was also left to Zhang Yuanying by Lin Yi in the future.
"Oba, your paintings are so beautiful, can you teach me." Zhang Yuanying was lying next to Lin Yi, watching his brother quickly draw a good-looking picture with one stroke at a time, and was very envious.
"Okay, you want to learn."
"Yes." Zhang Yuanying nodded her little head seriously, she had never learned these things.
"Okay, let's go out and buy you a set of paintbrushes in a while, and I'll teach you how about it?" Lin Yi said that he now draws with a pencil, and it is better for children to start learning from color painting.
"Okay, I'll study hard." Zhang Yuanying jumped up happily, she is also a lot more cheerful these days.
Lin Yi smiled and touched her head, he must let his sister keep laughing like this.
After carefully putting away the drawn design drawings, Lin Yi took Zhang Yuanying to a shopping mall near the hotel, in addition to buying paintbrushes for his sister, he also happened to buy her a few clothes, shoes, and some things that he usually uses.
Lin Yi took his sister's hand and walked into the mall, which was a relatively high-end shopping mall, and he had seen several luxury stores.
"Oba, it's so big."
"Well, let's go buy you some clothes first."
The two walked into a very well-known children's clothing store.
"Yuan Ying, do you like this?"
Lin Yi picked up a white dress and gestured at her.
"Oba, I don't want to wear a skirt, it's inconvenient."
"Huh? How can it be inconvenient? ”
Lin Yi is also the first time to buy clothes for a little girl, and many of them don't know very well.
"Skirts are easy to get dirty and not easy to wash."
When Lin heard her answer, his heart was sour, such a child who should be innocent, the reason why he didn't wear a skirt was that it was not easy to wash.
"Yuan Ying, you don't have to wash your own clothes in the future, if you have a washing machine at home, you will automatically wash your clothes, you just need to dry the washed clothes."
"Really?"
"Yes, I promise it's true."
"Well, I like this dress."
"Then you can go and swap it out and give it a try."
"Okay."
Zhang Yuanying took the skirt and entered the fitting room, and Lin Yi also troubled a female salesperson to help her.
After a while, a beautiful little girl came out in a white dress with a pink bow on her chest, which was very beautiful.
"Do you think it looks good?" Lin Yi asked with a smile.
"Looks good, it's the best I've ever worn." Zhang Yuanying happily turned around in the mirror, love beauty is every girl's natural ability.
"Excuse me, this one, and those are all wrapped up according to this number."
Lin Yi bought Zhang Yuanying a piece of the clothes he liked.
"Oba, buy so much that I can't wear." Zhang Yuanying took Lin Yi's hand and said.
"It's okay, you can change it every day."
When the waiter heard Lin Yi's words, he was also a little envious of this little girl, the price of clothes in their store is not low, any piece of clothing is more than 100,000 won, and the few pieces Lin Yi just chose add up to more than 1 million won.
"Let's go, let's go buy some more shoes."
After settling the account, Lin Yi led Zhang Yuanying to the direction of the children's shoe store.
Just as the two of them were walking that way, they heard the sound of singing coming from the center of the mall.
"Oba, I'd like to go and see it." Zhang Yuanying took Lin Yi's hand and shook it and said.
"Well, I'd like to see it too." Lin Yi is also very curious, why is there still a performance here?
Lin Yi has been in Seoul for almost a month, and he has learned a lot about the local culture, and idol culture is an indispensable factor.
"It's girlhood." Zhang Yuanying looked at the stage in the distance and applauded happily.
Lin Yi looked at the cheering Zhang Yuanying with a confused face, what is Girls' Generation?
