Chapter 267 Buying a House

"Jingyou, I know you're a professional with strong work aptitude. You've certainly made significant contributions over the past two years, and your grandfather has always valued you. It's fair to say he wanted you to take over his position even before Xiuming returned." Lu Jiaping looked at Lu Jingyou with mixed feelings. "Even after Xiuming returned, your grandfather's thoughts haven't changed."

He didn't have a son before, and he had no intention of competing with Lu Jingyou. He felt that Lu Jingyou should take over Jiahe Group.

But now that his son is back, things are different.

He also hopes to fight for a place for his son instead of giving it to his eldest brother's family.

He wanted to prove it to Mr. Lu and everyone else, but he didn't expect to be cheated by that bastard Wu Qin.

"Second uncle, whether to take over or not is a matter for the future. The most important thing now is this difficult time." Lu Jingyou no longer thought about whether he could take over the Jiahe Group, but that the Jiahe Group would fall apart sooner or later, and he could not clean up Lu Jiaping's mess again and again.

"Don't worry, I'll take care of it." Lu Jiaping stood up and said, "If you want to go back to the capital, go ahead. I heard your father has some things he needs to deal with. I hope you don't upset your grandfather."

His elder brother Lu Jiahe grew up with his grandmother, who spoiled him so much that he became a playboy.

He never cares about the company's affairs. Instead, he is keen on opening a dance hall and a gym. He is the most carefree person in the family.

It was because of him that Mr. Lu insisted on bringing Lu Jingyou up to his side, fearing that he would lead his grandson astray.

Fortunately, Lu Jingyou did not grow up crooked, but looked very much like the old man of the Lu family.

"Don't worry, second uncle. I've known about my father's situation for a long time. He said he could handle it himself." Lu Jingyou also stood up and walked out. His father's matter was a small matter, while Lu Jiaping's matter was the tricky one.

Anyway, three or four million in assets were lost.

He remembered that there was no such thing in his previous life, or maybe he didn't know about it, and it was Mr. Lu who stepped in to settle it.

But it is true that Lu Jiaping has been caught up in a debt crisis.

But Mr. Lu felt guilty towards Lu Jiaping because his leg was injured when he went to the countryside. He always felt sorry for him, so he turned a blind eye to the things he did to him as long as they were not too excessive.

Lu Jingyou had no way to deal with this.

He can't keep reporting his second uncle.

In fact, if Lu Jiaping didn't make such a fuss and just did his job, he wouldn't lose money even if he didn't achieve any results. But he always wanted to take shortcuts and prove himself, but he failed over and over again.

With Wu Xinyue stirring up trouble behind the scenes, it would be strange if he could succeed.

With these two people in Jiahe Group, even gods and Buddhas can’t save it. What’s the point of him taking over such a mess?

Su Jiaojiao slept until eight o'clock the next morning. After washing up, she went downstairs to have breakfast and took a taxi to the Jinxiucheng Sales Office.

Outside the car window, people are coming and going, and the streets are full of fashionable and cutting-edge urban beauties wearing formal business suits, jeans, and one-step skirts.

Formal business attire requires an occasion, while fashionable clothing has high requirements on body shape. Only jeans are the most casual and timeless classic.

Su Jiaojiao plans to use her free time to go to the clothing wholesale market to look at jeans. Jeans are definitely a hot seller and there won’t be a backlog of stock.

Jinxiu City has nine phases in total and is very large. It was built over a period of twelve or thirteen years.

In her previous life, she bought a villa in Phase 9, and the price soared to 30,000 yuan per square meter. I heard that the first phase of Jinyuan was only launched in May 1998, which is this year.

It is August now, and Jinxiucheng Jinyuan has only been open for three months. There are definitely good houses. The main reason is that in this era, banks do not conduct strict reviews when buying a house, and there are no household registration restrictions. As long as you meet the requirements, you can buy a house.

There are still quite a lot of people in the sales office.

Many people were looking at houses carefully and discussing the housing prices.

Su Jiaojiao asked about the price. The current average price is 2,800 yuan per square meter. I heard that the average price in May was 2,000 yuan per square meter. In just three months, it increased by 800 yuan.

Buying a house was not difficult for Su Jiaojiao. She was familiar with and trusted the developer of Jinxiu City. Besides, the houses were all ready-made, so there was no possibility of the developer running away.

She followed the sales lady to the community to look at houses, and finally chose the east unit on the third floor of the front building, a small three-bedroom apartment of 90 square meters.

The third and fourth floors are prime floors and the price is a bit higher, at 3,000 yuan per square meter.

Three thousand is three thousand. She needs a pure residence for rest and relaxation.

All the buildings in Jinyuan are seven stories high, and the third floor is just right.

What’s more important is that Jinyuan is only two stops away from Peking University, which is about half an hour’s walk away, and life in the surrounding area is relatively convenient.

But Su Jiaojiao is from another place, and there are restrictions on outsiders buying houses. For example, to get a loan, you must have more than five years of continuous work experience in the capital, and you must have a residence permit in the capital for six consecutive months.

Unless paid in full.

There are restrictions on full payment, but there is no need to deal with banks, and the restrictions are not that strict. In order to sell houses, developers will help customers handle various procedures.

Su Jiaojiao only had an admission letter from Peking University, so she had to pay the full price. Including the stamp duty, the total price of the house was 300,000 yuan, which almost used up all her savings.

Although the procedures for buying a house with full payment are relatively simple, various contracts still need to be signed, and taxes need to be paid and the property certificate needs to be obtained. Su Jiaojiao had to run to the sales office every day. It took her a busy week to complete all the procedures and get the property certificate.

Su Jiaojiao was very satisfied with the efficiency, as she thought it would take a long time.

The next step was decoration. She didn't have the time or energy to go to the building materials market alone. Relying on her memory, Su Jiaojiao found a Changsheng decoration company with a good reputation, selected the decoration drawings, and entrusted them with full responsibility for the work and materials.

When the boss of Changsheng Decoration Company heard that it was a house in Jinyuan, Jinxiu City, he patted his chest and assured Su Jiaojiao that he had decorated more than a dozen houses in Jinyuan and would definitely not fool her.

I signed the renovation contract, paid half of the renovation fee, and will pay the other half after I move in.

After all the operations, Su Jiaojiao still had 20,000 yuan left.

The 20,000 yuan also includes her tuition and living expenses for half a year, as well as the subsequent decoration fees.

At least she had to wait until the batch of leather jackets and sweatshirts at home were sold before she could free up funds to consider taking new orders.

I rested in the hotel for two days. As the day of registration at the university drew closer, the surrounding area became more and more lively.

The hotel where Su Jiaojiao stayed was suddenly full, with parents and students speaking accents from all over the place coming and going, all in a happy mood.

Many people are visiting the capital for the first time, and they are curious and surprised at everything.

In comparison, Su Jiaojiao was much more relaxed. She put on her backpack and took the bus to the Wudaokou Clothing Wholesale Market.

It’s a bit far, and it takes more than an hour to get there by bus.
