Chapter 174 Buying the Wu Family's House (Page 1/2)

Chen Baomei told her the place.

Chen Ru: "That place is an old city. It's not worth buying a house there, right?"

House prices in other places have increased significantly, but the house prices in that place have not changed much in the past two years.

Chen Baomei didn't explain to her, "If you want to believe me, just follow me and buy. If you don't believe me, forget it. Anyway, I am bullish on the price of that place."

She is not bullish, she is waiting for the demolition, but she cannot say what will happen in the future.

"That's fine. I still have some money left, so the down payment for two houses shouldn't be a problem."

Chen Baomei's calm and confident look gave Shen Ru a lot of confidence.

After experiencing the high returns from buying a house, she decided not only to buy one, but she would buy two.

Chen Baomei glanced at her and asked, "Are you buying it with a loan?"

Shen Ru nodded.

With the current housing prices, her salary alone can cover the monthly payments for two houses, not to mention the profit from the tutoring classes.

"It's not that you can't buy with a loan, but don't use too high a leverage."

Shen Ru was surprised by Chen Baomei's choice of words, "Mom, you also know about leverage!"

Her mother is really something. She has made a lot of progress in areas that she can't see.

He even knows about leverage.

Chen Baomei snorted coldly, "What's so strange about this?"

She knows a lot.

I first went to see the house that the agent recommended to Chen Baomei.

The house is located in a small alley in the old city, facing south. The gate is on the side, and there is a spacious courtyard inside. The owner has built a narrow vegetable plot along the wall, but it is now bare. There are a lot of sundries piled up in the yard, and it is very messy.

The courtyard is over 150 square meters in total. It is spacious, but it is a bit old.

After seeing the place in person, Shen Ru said with some disdain, "The conditions are too bad. Can we rent it out after buying it?"

The alley leading in is so narrow that even a car can't get in. Just moving is a lot of trouble.

Moreover, the road condition is very bad. It is unknown when the bluestone slabs were paved. They are bumpy and have not been repaired. When it rains, there will be puddles when you step on them. It is not convenient at all.

The agent quickly said, "Although the house is a bit old, the location is still good. The yard is spacious and you can grow vegetables. With some simple repairs, it will definitely be rented out."

Shen Ru didn't quite agree. She said to Chen Baomei, "Mom, do you want to take another look?"

Chen Ru felt that commercial housing was better. Small-sized commercial housing was small in size, easy to renovate and easy to rent out. With the money, it would be better to add a little more and buy another commercial housing.

Chen Baomei: "Turn around and take a look first."

The agent took them around inside and out, and Chen Baomei decided to buy it.

The house is priced at 720,000.

Chen Baomei frowned when she heard the price.

“It’s too expensive.”

Chen Ru also said: "That's right, the house is so old, and the price per unit is almost as high as that of a commercial house. Is the owner really willing to sell it?"

"The owner is selling the yard to exchange for a commercial property, so of course he's sincere about it. Sister, buying a house doesn't always have a fixed price. We can negotiate the price."

So, Chen Baomei bargained with the other party while looking down on them.

Of course, she just lowered the price appropriately and stopped there.

After all, even if she bought this house for a million, it would be enough for her to earn after the demolition, so there was no need to cut the price too much.

The house was finally sold for 700,000 yuan, 20,000 yuan cheaper.

After finalizing some details and signing the contract, we just wait for the payment and transfer.

Chen Ru always felt that Chen Baomei had made a bad purchase on this house. What was the point of buying a shabby yard?

Chen Baomei was too lazy to explain to her.

If it is demolished, this yard will definitely be demolished more than the two commercial houses she bought before.

Coming out of the alley, Shen Ru was still talking about the house.

But he ran into Wu Wenwan and Wu's mother at the entrance of the alley.

The two of them were accompanied by a young man who looked like an agent.

Shen Ru looked at them with a smile, "Oh, isn't this my former sister-in-law? What a coincidence, I can meet her here."

"It's quite a coincidence." Wu Wenwan said with a forced smile.

Seeing that they had met someone they knew, the agent handed the contract to Chen Baomei and said, "Sister, I'll send it to you when the property certificate is ready. I have something else to do here, so I'll leave first."

Chen Baomei nodded and took the contract.

“Are you buying a house here?”

Wu Wenwan raised her eyebrows and asked in disbelief.

Chen Baomei clenched the contract in her hand and looked at her with raised eyebrows. "What's the matter? Is there a problem?"

Before Wu Wenwan could speak, her mother couldn't help laughing.

"This place is so run down, and you're actually buying a house here. If you don't have good taste, don't try to follow others' investment strategy. How much money do you have to afford such a lavish investment?"

Wu Wenwan also covered her mouth and started laughing.

"Mom, don't say that. The old lady owns more than a dozen houses, and the landlady is just waiting to collect the rent. What's the big deal about buying an old, dilapidated house?"

Mother Wu sighed artificially, "Alas, we are just an ordinary family. To buy a large riverside flat, we have to sell our old house. We really can't compare with those who are being relocated."

Of course Chen Baomei heard what Wu's mother was showing off about living in a large flat with a river view.

Of course, this is not the point. When Chen Baomei heard that they were going to sell the old house, her eyes lit up.

What they wanted to sell was the house that Wu Wenwan had shown off to her in her previous life. It would cost three houses and a lot of money.

There have been so many changes in her life. Wu Wenwan married a big boss, and the Wu family had to sell their house and buy a larger flat.

"You guys want to sell your house? I could go take a look!"

Mother Wu was surprised and asked, "You? Didn't you just buy a house? You want to buy more?"

"Who would complain about having too many houses?"

Mother Wu and Wu Wenwan looked at each other, not knowing what to say.

They just found an agent to put the house up for sale, and now they meet a buyer?

The buyer was Chen Baomei, who had always been at odds with them!

Seeing the business opportunity, their agent immediately said to Wu's mother, "Sister, if this auntie really wants to buy, we can discuss it."

Chen Baomei looked at the intermediary boy with some amusement.

Good job.

She was about the same age as Wu's mother. He called Wu's mother "sister" but called her "auntie".

This double standard is too obvious.

Look, because of this address, Wu's mother smiled a little more.

However, both she and Wu Wenwan were a little hesitant.

First, they hate Chen Baomei, and they feel uncomfortable selling their house to Chen Baomei.

Second, they felt that Chen Baomei’s attitude was too positive and they always felt that Chen Baomei had bad intentions.

The real estate agent lowered his voice and advised Wu's mother, "Since that auntie is not short of money and is determined to buy a house, we can sell it as soon as possible and buy a new one, right? To be honest, the houses in this part of the old city are not very attractive. Some houses may not be sold even after one or two years on the market..."

Wu's mother was persuaded by the intermediary.

"Okay, it's not impossible to sell it to you."

Chen Baomei: "I won't buy just any junk. I'll look at the house first."

Wu's mother wanted to take Chen Baomei to visit, but Wu Wenwan was not happy.

"Mom, how can we sell our house to her?"

Chen Baomei shrugged and turned away. "If you don't want to sell it, forget it. I don't have to buy your house. Xiaoru, let's go."

She didn't want people to think that she was too eager to buy. She would buy if she could. If they didn't sell, she could buy another house.

I just thought that if the deal could be done, I could make some money from the demolition in the future, and at least I could make the Wu family angry.

Chen Baomei opened the car door and asked Shen Ru to get in.

When Wu's mother saw Chen Baomei was about to leave, she quickly winked at the agent.

The agent understood immediately. He slid up and pulled Chen Baomei's car door. "Auntie, don't leave in a hurry. Let's go up and take a look at the house."
