Chapter 111 Old House

To pay off his debts, Mr. Wang had no choice but to sell everything he could. Only this old villa remained, the most valuable of all his properties and his favorite.

Those who want to buy it don't have that much money, and those who have money don't want to buy it at this time.

Mr. Wang is currently facing the most difficult period of his life, which is why he contacted the real estate agency where Wang Chen works, hoping to list the property for sale as soon as possible, recover cash, and use it to pay off his debts.

After getting a general understanding of the homeowner's reasons for selling the house, and having breakfast, Wang Chen first took Chen Hong to Huaihai Middle Road to see the house in person.

The old house is located at the far end of an alley, facing south, and receives excellent sunlight.

Opening the large wrought iron gate, you enter a 160-square-meter garden. Following a 3.5-meter-wide path along the east wall, you find a 20-square-meter back garden, which also has a back door leading to the street outside.

According to Wang Chen, the house has a floor area of ​​337 square meters, with two large rooms and five large bedrooms across three floors.

The first floor features a large living room, a family room, a large kitchen, a shared bathroom, and two storage rooms. Surprisingly, the living room also has a large fireplace that appeared in a TV series.

The second floor has three large bedrooms, all suites with separate walk-in closets and bathrooms. The attic room is also quite spacious, about twenty square meters, and has been converted into a study or workspace.

Both bedrooms on the third floor face south and are connected to a large 20-square-meter terrace. Each bedroom also has its own bathroom and walk-in closet.

Chen Hong fell in love with it at first sight; it was practically tailor-made for her.

If she were to decorate it herself, she wouldn't have the same knowledge and taste as others. At most, she could only do a modern, minimalist style, as long as it's comfortable to live in.

Mr. Wang just finished renovating the house and hasn't moved in yet. The entire house is decorated in a typical Shanghai style with a British design.

It is said that Mr. Wang spent more than 500,000 yuan on the renovation alone, not including the cost of purchasing furniture and lighting fixtures.

Moreover, the main structure of the house has been reinforced, so it can definitely be lived in for another hundred years.

The furniture inside the house consists mostly of old-fashioned solid wood pieces left by the original owner, many of which have developed a patina from use.

It should be considered an antique now. When Mr. Wang first moved out of this house, someone offered eight million to buy it.

Wang Chen revealed his plan to Chen Hong: if Chen Hong could pay in full in cash, Mr. Wang would sell the property to her for eight million yuan, the same price as two years ago, and include a complete set of interior decoration and all furniture.

Chen Hong secretly clicked her tongue in amazement. This was the true wealth of the rich. If it weren't for the unexpected incident, Mr. Wang would definitely have asked for more than ten million for this house.

My vision is still too narrow. I just earned several hundred million yuan and I already feel like I don't know how to spend it.

If I used all my money to buy these villas, I could only buy twenty or thirty of them. It seems I still don't have enough money!

After discussing it with Wang Chen and confirming that the villa had clear property rights and was one of the few permanent property rights properties in Shanghai, Chen Hong immediately made the decision to buy the villa.

Chen Hong: This is the ancestral property that I left to my descendants!

Although the living space is a bit too large for me now, and feels a bit empty, I can leave it to my son.

Who knows, maybe ten or twenty years from now, when our son gets married, the young couple will give us an unexpected surprise and have three or four children. Then this house will just be enough for them.

Wang Chen immediately called Mr. Wang and asked him to bring all his documents to the old house for a meeting.

Forty minutes later, Chen Hong met Mr. Wang, who was 67 years old and still in good health.

Perhaps due to the blow of bankruptcy these past few days, Mr. Wang's mental state is not very good.

Her face was pale and her eyes were lifeless; it seemed she had lost her will to live in just a few days. Mr. Wang spoke with Chen Hong and learned that she was a friend whom Wang Chen had specially invited from Rongcheng.

Mr. Wang expressed his gratitude to both Wang Chen and Chen Hong. The elderly man had worked hard all his life and was among the first to venture into business.

He had been running his family business smoothly for over thirty years, but unexpectedly, he suffered a major setback in his old age.

If I hadn't bought several properties in my early years, I would never have been able to get through this difficult situation!

And so, many business partners who had worked with him for years turned their backs on him. In the past few days, some of his former friends have been kicking him while he was down, while others have been taking advantage of his misfortune.

This incident nearly drove the elderly man, who considered himself to be generous and magnanimous, to the brink of collapse, almost leading him down the path of suicide.

This property, worth ten million, was reduced to four or five million by several of his "friends," which was tantamount to murder and bloodsucking, trying to drive him to the brink of despair.

If no one else takes over, Mr. Wang's villa will eventually be sold at a low price to a creditor friend as payment for his debts.

After hearing about Mr. Wang's plight, Chen Hong felt sympathy for him and, feeling embarrassed to lower the price further, agreed to a deal of eight million.
