Chapter 41: The Rich
Stepping on the sunset, stepping on the afterglow of the sunset, Chen Fan and the other four came to the Daxiang Inn, the food was really delicious, the four of them did not drink, and they quickly finished eating.
Huang Shi looked at the sky and said: "Today, when Hou Feng and I were looking for an inn nearby, we happened to see the door of a house, posted a notice for the sale of this house, and went in to inquire, it turned out that the owner of this house was going to move to the countryside to live, and planned to sell the house, the price was three hundred yuan, and the place inside was quite large, there were more than a dozen rooms, there were yards in front and back, and the backyard was next to the Gusu River, and there was a pavilion, sitting in the pavilion, you could enjoy the coolness, the scenery was good, it was not far from here, do you want to go and see?" ”
300 guan, equivalent to 2.4 million yuan, the price is also cheap. When Chen Fan heard this introduction, his first reaction was to subconsciously convert copper coins into RMB, thinking that it was not expensive, and that in modern times, such a large area is estimated to be hundreds of millions.
"It's just that the price is a bit expensive, but can you take a look?" Hou Feng next to him interjected.
A bit expensive? Chen Fan was stunned for a moment, and then thought about it, too, the population of this society is sparse, less than one-tenth of the population of modern society, and his father's income is only two or two five per month, which he can't afford for ten years without eating or drinking. What's more, most people in this society basically have no source of income, farming, weaving, working in large households, or being a running boy or something, they can only barely make ends meet. Chen Fan also extinguished his heart to pick up the bargain, and decided to take a look.
Seeing that Chen Fan didn't speak immediately, Xiao Qing answered: "Okay, let's go and have a look first." ”
Chen Fan had nothing to do, and the four of them walked towards the house for sale, but fortunately, it was indeed not far from this inn, that is, it was across the street, fifty or sixty meters away. Fortunately, it was not too early to get dark in September, and when they arrived at the house, the red glow of the setting sun had just dispersed.
"Anyone?" Hou Feng shouted loudly as he knocked on the door.
"Who?" There was a woman inside.
"Look at the house, is your house still for sale?" Hou Feng then asked.
"For sale, wait a minute." After a while, the door opened, and out came a middle-aged woman, dressed in a coarse linen dress.
"A few inside, please." The woman bowed down and invited Chen Fan and them in.
The entrance is a courtyard, and inside is a five-bay wing, and there is an old man standing at the door of the middle wing, with gray hair and a wrinkled face, but he is in a good state of mind, "A few Lang Jun, please come in." The old man said enthusiastically, and the four of them stepped forward.
"These two Lang Jun came this afternoon, and now they have brought two Lang Jun here, are they going to buy them?" The old man asked.
"These two are my husbands, take them to see." Hou Feng introduced.
"Okay, please."
Passing through the wing room, there was a courtyard with two entrances, and there was a well in the middle, and there was a trace of cool air coming out of it, Chen Fan's heart moved, but his face did not show the slightest discoloration. The patio is surrounded by a house around it, and the first three, the second left, the second right, and the middle of the first three are the main hall, and the offering table is placed against the wall, and there is a small door to the left of the offering table, which leads to the backyard. Under the leadership of the old man, through the small door, come to the backyard, the vision is suddenly wide, the first thing that catches people's attention is a river, across the front of the yard, because the yard is big enough, on the right side of the yard, a hut was built along the river, there is a hexagonal pavilion on the left, there is also a well in the middle of the pavilion, flowers and plants are planted in other places, green bamboo, the whole courtyard is arranged in a patchwork manner, the scenery is full of scenery.
The breeze blew, bringing the fragrance of flowers and plants, the fragrance of bamboo and wood, so that Chen Fan's spirit was invigorated, it was the breath of wood, Chen Fan suddenly felt that there was wood spiritual power in the courtyard, and it was far stronger than the outside world, this was purely intuitive, and I don't know if it was the reason for planting flowers and plants, Chen Fan didn't plan to check it carefully at this time, but he really liked this courtyard in his heart.
"Ah Weng, I wonder how much you plan to sell this house for?" Chen Fan asked.
"These two Lang Jun also asked today, three hundred times." The old man said.
"I heard from them, you want to come to this house and you have sold it for a while, and someone has also repaid the price with you, just like we usually go to the street to buy things, and the store sometimes gives a discount. If you don't mind, I'd like to ask, how much can you sell it for at least? Give us the best price, if you succeed, if you don't succeed, just let everyone know. Chen Fan said unhurriedly.
"How much can you pay?" The old man did not answer Chen Fan's words, but asked rhetorically.
This made Chen Fan stop, the key is that he has no money on him, that is, he plans to inquire about the next market, and he will discuss it after the eldest brother returns. But now I can't show my timidity, and said with a faint smile at the moment: "I just looked at the house, to be honest, you are still the first one I have seen, but if you want to buy it, it will be a matter of the past two days, so I am in a hurry to inquire about the final offer, so that I can make a decision as soon as possible." If you sell sincerely, give a final offer, and we will not return it to you later, if it is successful, we will buy it at the final price you say, if it is not successful, we will not have a chance with your house. As you can see, my brother and I just arrived, and we didn't discuss our views on the house, after all, there are still houses to see in the back, and how to bid in the end, we have to look at the house after that, before we can decide. So it's hard to say how much money you can pay at the highest level. ”
Between buying and selling, in fact, it is a psychological war, the seller is below a price, definitely not selling, but the price is too high, the buyer will definitely not buy, so often need to find a balance. Some sellers are very good, but for the buyer, spending money is not angry, your cow is your business, I can not look at your face, so sometimes although I think the seller's house is very suitable, I don't buy it, it is smooth; Some buyers are very good, pick and choose, saying that this is not good, that there is a problem, that is sorry, no matter what, the seller just does not reduce the price, because the seller is selling the house, not buying reason, love to buy or not, in order to fight for this tone.
Chen Fan's questioning of the price is quite level, which not only allows the homeowner to reduce the price, but also does not cause the homeowner's disgust, so whether the price drops depends on the homeowner's urgency to sell the house. If you are in a hurry, there will be a big concession, and if you are not in a hurry, it may only be a symbolic price reduction, or even no reduction.
"Well, if you buy it sincerely, and you can pay for it in two days, two hundred and eighty yuan, this is the best price." The old man thought for a moment and said.
"Okay, thank you, Awen, we'll think about it seriously." Chen Fan saluted the old man and said.
"You're welcome." The old man returned the salute.
Chen Fan looked at Xiao Qing and led everyone out of the mansion.
On the way back to the inn, Hou Feng couldn't help but ask, "What do the two Lang Jun think of this house?" ”
"What does A-Qing think?" Chen Fan felt that before he said his thoughts, it was necessary to understand Xiao Qing's thoughts first, so he asked first.
"I think it's very good, the place is okay, the key is that there is a backyard, the environment is good, and it should be quieter to cultivate in it." When Xiao Qing saw Chen Fan asking, he said his thoughts.
"I also think it's pretty good, but I don't know what the housing prices are here?" Chen Fan expressed his doubts.
"I talked to the innkeeper, and the price of the house plus the courtyard is about one acre of land, and the price is about one hundred and fifty yuan." Hou Feng replied.
"Well," Chen Fan nodded, "Then the landlord's offer is quite reasonable." Chen Fan quickly estimated the area of the house in his heart, more than a dozen rooms are about five or six hundred square meters, and the front and back courtyards plus the courtyard in the middle are about six or seven hundred square meters, which should be close to two acres of land.
"Do you want to buy it?" Xiao Qing asked beside him.
"We don't have any money now, let's talk about it when the eldest brother comes back." Chen Fan glanced at Xiao Qing and thought, if you don't belong to your home, you don't know that firewood, rice, oil and salt are expensive, so you can buy it.
"I'll come out, I've got the money. If you like it, buy it first. Xiao Qing looked at Chen Fan and said something that surprised Chen Fan.
"Damn, this one next to me is actually a big money!" Chen Fan sighed in his heart! When he was worried about money, this person actually didn't hesitate to come up with 280,000 yuan, which is 280,000 copper coins, not 280,000 yuan, which is equivalent to 2.24 million yuan! Even if he sells preserved eggs, it would be good if he could earn two copper coins for a preserved egg, and it would only be 200,000 yuan to sell 100,000 preserved eggs, the key is that he doesn't know how long it will take to make so much, just buying duck eggs is a troublesome matter, as well as workshops, manpower, and storage, Chen Fan suddenly felt that Xiao Qing was a gold owner, with a golden light all over his body, and three words were written on his head, "I have money." ”
"Okay, you go out first, and when you have the money later, I'll pay you back." Chen Fan said without hesitation. This money can't be paid by Xiao Qing alone, and when his preserved eggs are listed, it won't be long before he takes out two hundred and eighty yuan, and it is estimated that it will not be a problem, and Chen Fan still has this confidence.
"Don't pay it back yet, let's talk about it when you have money. When the time comes, go to the government to apply for the title deed, and use your name to count it as what you bought. Xiao Qing replied.
"Did I get hit by a pie falling from the sky?" Chen Fan was asking himself in his heart, but he still asked, "Why?" ”
"It's a bit inconvenient to register with the government in my name." Xiao Qing explained this sentence with a little hesitation, so he didn't go on.
Chen Fan didn't have any intention of delving into it, and said at the moment: "Okay, then let's decide, tomorrow we will go to finish the matter of buying a house." After speaking, he looked at Xiao Qing, and the implication was naturally that you had the money with you?
"Okay, the money is in the inn, I'll go back to the inn for you." Xiao Qing saw Chen Fan looking at him, probably to ask about money, and immediately said.
So much money in the inn, not afraid of being stolen? Although Chen Fan had some slander in his heart, he didn't show it on his face, but said jokingly: "Give it tomorrow morning, I'm afraid that I won't be able to sleep well this night, and I'm worried that it will be stolen." It can be regarded as a wake-up call for Xiao Qing in disguise.
"Okay, then I'll give it to you tomorrow." Xiao Qing, a sincere person, agreed to follow Chen Fan's words. After a while, everyone returned to the inn, although the rented room this time, although it was not like a courtyard like in the Jiayuan Inn before, but the four rooms were next to each other, so it was convenient to take care of each other, and immediately went back to their rooms to rest.
