Chapter 85

If the young couple really wants to buy two houses, they can sell them for 180,000 yuan. 180,000 yuan, not counting the land, is enough for them to build ten or eight villas. If they calculate carefully, they may even be able to get back the money for the land.

This is equivalent to using their money to build a house for them and making some money yourself. The 30% deposit is enough to make back your investment.

After all, building a 300-square-meter self-built house in the countryside only costs a few thousand yuan, and it has to be two stories high.

In this way, his villa project can avoid more risks, and with the return of funds, he can build more houses.

Oh, cognition. When will those local tycoons improve their cognition? It would be so nice to buy villas.

Zhong Miao was furious. This price, well, it wasn't exactly a bargain. If they bought it now, their family would be bankrupt, or at least lose everything.

There are few people who can afford ten thousand yuan these days, not to mention that two houses together cost eighteen thousand yuan. But Zhong Miao also understood that it was almost the 1990s and the country would be developing rapidly by then, so it would definitely not be possible to buy one at this price.

"Mr. Li, I'd like to take a look around. Can I go to your construction site?"

"Okay, let me take you two to the construction site first. Both of these sets are almost finished with the second floor, but the ones outside haven't even started yet."

He acquired the land in August last year and worked on it until November. He stopped working for three months in the winter and now he is preparing to start work again at the end of February. He just started working this year.

"OK."

Mr. Li prepared safety helmets for the two of them. The three of them took protective measures and entered the construction site.

Some of the villas in the first few rows have just been marked out. Walking further in, you will find that the foundations have been completed. Walking further in, you will reach one of the villas that Zhong Miao likes.

The first floor of the two-story building has been completed, and the second floor slabs have been erected.

Mr. Li probably thought that Zhong Miao had the final say in Pei Ze's family, so he was explaining things to Zhong Miao the whole time.

After inspecting the construction site, Zhong Miao made an appointment with Mr. Li to give him an answer tomorrow before leaving with Pei Ze.

"Wife, how about you come with me to the store and then to the factory, and then we go home together?"

"No, I need to talk to my dad. Please send me back to the garment factory and then to the store."

"Well, okay, which one do you like?"

"I like them all. How did you find this place?"

Pei Ze explained the whole story to Zhong Miao. Zhong Miao listened carefully, wondering whether it was reliable. Although there was such a community in her previous life, such a large sum of money was not easy to earn. It was the hard work of Pei Ze and her father.

It turns out that Mr. Li’s wife is no ordinary person. Her father-in-law is very wealthy. He has always wanted to achieve something and started working in real estate a few years ago.

He came from a wealthy family and had no shortage of money, but after a few years of work without seeing any improvement, his father-in-law lost confidence in him and didn't want to invest in him anymore.

He wanted to build this villa last year, but his father-in-law did not support him. Although he did not lose money in the past few years, he did not make much money either. Mr. Li was full of energy and wanted to do it no matter what.

Normally, a small apartment costs 18,000 yuan, a large three-bedroom apartment costs just over 20,000 yuan, and the best one costs only 30,000 yuan. His villa would cost at least 100,000 to 80,000 yuan. Once the arrow is shot, there is no turning back. He tried his best to hold on and use the money from the sale of the houses he had built before to hold on.

This villa is too expensive and difficult to sell, but Mr. Li is a man who can save face. He visited all the celebrities and wealthy people in the city just to promote his villa.

As a result, Pei Ze and Zhong Miao, a couple who had appeared on TV, became his targets.

The day before yesterday, he went to the furniture factory to find Pei Ze in person. When Pei Ze heard it was a villa, he instantly became interested. The two had a great chat, which led to what happened today.

After Pei Ze finished talking with Mr. Li, he found out about Mr. Li's situation the next day, and he felt relieved. Mr. Li was crying poor, but in fact he was not that poor. With his financial resources, the house could definitely be built. He cried poor because he didn't want to use his father-in-law's money, or in other words, the less he used, the better, after all, he was holding a grudge.

"Okay, I understand. When you come back tonight, we'll discuss this matter."

"Okay." When they arrived at the garment factory, Pei Ze put Zhong Miao down and went to the store alone to reconcile the accounts.

Zhong Miao quickly found her busy old father. When Zhong Ming saw his daughter coming, he said a few words to the workers and returned to his office with his daughter.

"My dear, what happened to you?"

Zhong Ming knew that under normal circumstances, Zhong Miao would not come to disturb him while he was working.

"Dad, take a look at this." Zhong Miao handed the floor plan and house introduction she brought back to her father.

"Hongyun Home, is that Hongyun Home?"

Zhong Ming also knew that Hongyun Home was a villa with a relatively good location in the city.

"right."

"How much?"

"The two best sets cost a total of 180,000 yuan."

"Oh my god, why is it so cheap? Oh no, it's not cheap at all."

Zhong Ming thought about it and pondered carefully. These two sets, one is more than 300 square meters and divided into two floors, and the other is more than 400 square meters and divided into two floors. According to the current price of suite area, there is not much difference. It is equivalent to buying a building of the same area. No matter how you calculate it, it is suitable. What's more, the location over there is not bad.

"Dad, have you figured it out? Is it suitable?"

"Perfect, absolutely perfect. It won't be long before that place is developed. In ten years, it will at least double in value. In twenty years, it will quintuple in value. Even if the currency depreciates, it will still maintain its value."

"I think we can bargain a little more, or maybe we can ask the developer to do the renovations for us directly."

These days, renovation is a huge expense for ordinary people, but in the eyes of people like Zhong Miao, whose father and husband are both entrepreneurs, it is nothing. It's just that renovation is too tiring. There are no renovation companies now. Her family is either busy making money or going to school. All their time is spent on renovation, which delays their ability to make money.

"Your idea is good. Dad made a lot of money before the New Year. Besides the 40,000 yuan I left with you, I still have 40,000 yuan. However, after buying a house, I will have no liquid funds."

Wearing new clothes during the Chinese New Year is a normal need for ordinary people. Zhong Ming earned more than 40,000 yuan in the last two months of the year, which was just enough to spend on this.

"He said it could be done in installments. I'd pay 30% upfront, and then the balance would be paid after the house is delivered at the end of the year. Then I'd sign the contract, and you could just go along. It would be best if I could find a lawyer to see if their procedures were in compliance, and then confirm that both the house purchase contract and the installment contract were valid."

"Well, you're right, sweetheart. How about we buy another one? What if you have kids in the future and it's not big enough? Besides, you still need a place to use as a studio. I think this one will do. Since the bulk of the payment is at the end of the year, let's not be too conservative. The stock will go public next year, and it will be easier for Dad to make money."

Zhong Ming still felt that the area was too small. His family's house used to be a single-family house of 600 to 700 square meters. Including the area of ​​the expanded civil construction and the garden, it was more than 1,000 square meters. Although only the father and daughter lived there, they both knew how to enjoy it, and there was really no waste of space.

"Okay, when Pei Ze comes back in the evening, let's discuss it with Mother-in-law. Do you want to invite Aunt Zhou over as well? After all, you two are going to live together in the future."

Zhong Miao had 40,000 yuan from her father and 150,000 yuan saved by Pei Ze in the past six months. Originally, it should have been more than 200,000 yuan, but Zhong Miao and Zhong Ming bought two cars, so they didn't have that much left. Although 30% was only a few tens of thousands of yuan, they had to make up the remaining money by the end of the year.

After all, Pei Ze and her father must have working capital on hand, otherwise, how can they purchase raw materials?

"Okay, I'll pick her up later and we can study together."

In the evening, Li Tongtong and An An watched TV at Zhong Miao's house, while the adults gathered next door, chirping about what was happening in the house.

Zhou Yunshan and Zhang Weilan were unable to react for a moment. It was such a huge shock. How many tens of thousands of dollars was that? Such a large sum of money was used to buy a house. It was simply unheard of.

Everyone decided to go look at the house together the next day.

On the way Zhong Ming sent Zhou Yunshan back, Zhou Yunshan spoke first, "Brother Zhong, since this is our future home, I have to contribute to the house purchase. Although I don't have that much, it's not good for me to not contribute at all."

"No, who would marry a wife without preparing a house? I just don't have any family background, my investment is limited, and I can't make money as fast as my son-in-law. Otherwise, I wouldn't care about this little money."

"Brother Zhong, what you said is wrong. This 80,000 yuan house is something that Tongtong and I will have to live in in the future, so I can't let you pay for it all by yourself. Besides, you're short of money now, and you won't have much left after buying the house. I can't let you pay for it all by yourself."

"It's okay, we can pay in installments. Let's pay the deposit first, it's only over 20,000."

"Then I have to pay half too. I have savings."

Zhou Yunshan has saved some money in the past few years. She definitely doesn't have 80,000 yuan, but she can still come up with 20,000 yuan.

The two argued all the way and finally decided that Zhong Ming would pay for the house and renovation, and Zhou Yunshan would buy the furniture and appliances.

In those days, the real estate industry was just beginning, and no one was too conceited. They didn't care whose name was written on it, especially people like Zhou Yunshan. She just wanted to be with Zhong Ming, and she didn't care where they lived. Even if the house was finally given to Zhong Miao, she wouldn't care about the money for appliances. After all, renting a house also requires rent.

In order to avoid her former parents-in-law, Zhou Yunshan lives in a rented house and has never bought a house. She believes that having a home is enough, no matter where it is.

She just wanted to find a home for her daughter and herself, a real home with family and warmth.

As for Zhong Ming, he doesn't care about this house at all. It's the best now, and he will change it when he has lived there enough. In his opinion, high-quality real estate is a must-investment. There will be so many houses in the future, so who cares about this?

Even if it can increase to a million or even tens of millions in the future, it will only be a drop in the bucket and mean nothing in his business empire.

I guess Zhong Miao also thinks so. Having lived here and enjoyed it, that's enough. As for investment, there will be much better things in the future.

The next day, the whole family went to see the house, and Mr. Li was very happy. This must be possible.

He assured Zhong Miao that the formalities were complete and she could also ask a lawyer to look at the contract.

The family finally chose three apartments. The best one of over 400 square meters was taken by Zhong Miao, and the closest one of over 300 square meters was taken by Zhong Ming. She also chose a house not far away of a little over 300 square meters as her future studio.

Mr. Li was overjoyed. He felt that he had made the right choice by choosing Pei Ze. This family was really rich. Two hundred and sixty thousand, a full two hundred and sixty thousand.

When Zhong Miao asked him to do the renovation directly, he immediately agreed. It was just a matter of finding a decoration team, so he took the job.

Is this the price? Pei Ze’s wife is really good at bargaining. Mr. Li looked at Pei Ze helplessly. Pei Ze shrugged and said that he would listen to his wife in everything.

Mr. Li gritted his teeth and finally decided on a 300,000 yuan renovation package.

Zhong Ming immediately called a lawyer and checked the developer's procedures. There was no problem, including the purchase contract and the installment agreement. But when it came to the decoration part, he got stuck.

This lawyer was really dedicated. He listened to the opinions of both parties and drafted a decoration contract on the spot. It was a lengthy contract that went into details about decoration materials and drawings.

It was not until dark that he finished the work. He made a lot of money in legal fees that day.

Zhong Miao and Pei Ze took advantage of the afternoon to withdraw the money and send their mother-in-law and child home. After all, they didn't know when the matter would be completed.

It was not until eight o'clock in the evening that all the contracts were finalized. Under the witness of the lawyer, Zhong Miao, Pei Ze and Zhong Ming signed the contracts and put their fingerprints on them respectively. The lawyer also made a record and stamped it for archiving.

Before leaving, Zhong Miao asked Mr. Li to give her a few fruit trees, which were planted directly in the yard during the renovation.
