Chapter 178: Visiting the Big Garden, the Couple Teams Up to Bargain

Seeing that they were silent for a moment, Li He quickly added: "But don't worry, the price is absolutely affordable."

He gestured and raised a finger.

"Four acres of land, that's all."

Su Heng looked at Lu Mingchuan. Such a big garden would definitely be hard to come by in the future.

Don’t think that it is a suburb now. In the future, land will be very expensive, both outside the third and fourth ring roads.

Lu Mingchuan understood what she meant, but didn't say anything immediately. He said with a blank expression, "This place is already considered rural, so I'm afraid it's not worth that much."

Li He quickly said, "Come with me and you'll see. The materials used in that house are very solid. It's not too late to lower the price after we've seen it."

Su Heng pretended to be reluctant and said, "Okay, let's go over and take a look."

Li He agreed and offered to take them to the bus, saying, "Although it's in the suburbs, there's a bus that goes there."

Su Heng asked him to wait, and went into the house with Lu Mingchuan to tell Song Wan and the others to look after Qiuqiu.

Song Wan saw that they were going to see the house, and she had just heard it and knew that it was a big house.

Then he said, "If you are short of money, I still have a thousand yuan here, I can give it to you first."

That was her own money.

She didn't want what the Cheng family gave her, so Cheng Yi took it and said he would exchange it for jewelry and a house. She didn't ask much about it.

Song Wan said it calmly, but Su Heng was really moved when she heard it.

"Wanwan, I love you so much. You're so nice to me, but I don't need you for now. If I really need you, I won't be polite to you."

Song Wan was amused by her: "Okay, come find me if you need me."

"Uh-huh."

The two men went out and found the bus waiting area not far away. They followed Li He into the bus and headed to the outskirts of the city.

Recently, major universities have started to open their doors one after another. After all, this is the first comprehensive admissions examination in ten years, and you can see more people on the streets.

Not to mention the car, there were many people carrying large and small bags, it was very lively.

Su Heng and the others got off the car soon. Farmland could still be seen around them, and even the Third Ring Road had not been fully built.

Who could have imagined that this place would develop into a prosperous place with high-rise buildings in the future?

Not long after Li He led them for a walk, they saw a garden surrounded by a blue brick wall in front of them.

It took them several minutes to walk from the side of the wall to the main entrance, and the plaque on the door had long been removed.

Li He took out the key, pushed the door open and led them in. The door creaked heavily.

Su Heng took another look. Although the vermilion door was a little faded, it was obvious that the materials used were indeed very good.

As soon as you enter, there are winding corridors on both sides of the courtyard wall. Opposite the gate is a small courtyard with an exquisitely crafted screen wall in the middle.

Li He led them inside and explained, "There are three courtyards here. The lake is on the southwest side, and the garden is in the center. Although the flowers and trees are dead, the pavilions, rockery and other things are still there, and the furnishings are still good."

Su Heng looked at the passing scenery. One of the characteristics of Chinese gardens is that there is a new scene at every step, which is its strongest selling point.

Perhaps Li He himself did not notice that every window on the corridor faced a small landscape in the courtyard on the other side.

But because all the flowers and trees were dead, all that could be seen was a tree stump or an empty space.

But Su Heng had already planned in his mind what flowers and trees to plant in these places.

They walked for a long time before reaching the central garden. Although the pond was dry and the flowers were overgrown, the layout was indeed a standard one pond and three mountains.

There is a waterside pavilion and an octagonal pavilion on top of the rocks.

But at this moment, the pavilion was covered in dust, weeds grew in the cracks of the stones, the octagonal corners were broken into hexagonal ones, and there was no water or scenery.

Li He himself felt a little guilty and couldn't continue the introduction.

Su Heng asked, "Isn't the lake you mentioned also dry?"

Li He paused, his usually swift tongue faltering as he said, "A little, but not much. It's been a while since anyone has taken care of it."

They took a look and found that the lake was quite large, with some trees still around it. It should be covered with green trees in the summer. On one side was the wasteland that Li He had mentioned before.

Su Heng thought it would be great to use it to grow vegetables or as pasture to raise something.

Finally, they went to see the three residential courtyards. The furniture inside was still there. Su Heng felt that it was better preserved than the 400-square-meter apartment.

There is also a courtyard with a two-story building facing the lake, which has a very wide view.

It took them a long time to see the entire yard, and Li He also introduced the other side doors one by one.

The main gate is not suitable for pushing a cart in. Depending on which yard they like, they can enter through the nearby side door.

After seeing it, Su Heng even decided where to build the parking spaces in the future.

But he still said nitpickingly, "This renovation will take too much effort. How much did you ask for this yard?"

Li He chuckled and said, "Thirteen thousand."

Lu Mingchuan frowned when he heard that and asked coldly, "That's not the price you quoted us just now. Did you trick us into coming here and then ask for a higher price?"

"Of course not! I'm offering a fair price. You can see how big this place is!"

Su Heng blushed and said, "Don't blame us for misunderstanding. You only extended one finger just now."

"Besides, although this courtyard is huge, the garden is unappealing. It's all wasteland. The only people actually live in the three courtyards, and those still need repairs."

Lu Mingchuan also nodded and talked about the shortcomings of the garden.

At the end, he added: "I think your yard has been suppressed for a long time. No one is interested in it except us, right?"

This house was indeed transferred to him from someone else.

After all, it's so expensive. Others with enough money can buy several houses in the city. Who would want to live in the countryside?

Li He felt that he had met a tough opponent today, but since a few people started to bargain, it meant that there was hope.

I immediately said, "Hey, you two must be hungry after watching for so long. How about I treat you and we go get something to eat and chat while we eat?"

Su Heng couldn't help but complain in her heart about the slippery agent, but she still nodded in agreement.

After the meal, they started another round of bargaining. Su Heng had never had such a hard time bargaining in his life.

Not to mention Lu Mingchuan, he doesn't know how to bargain at all and can only cooperate with Su Heng.

However, with two against one, no matter how powerful Li He was, they still managed to lower the price to less than 10,000.

"Actually, this is my target price." Su Heng said, pointing a finger.

Li He couldn't believe it: "Nine thousand?"

Su Heng nodded affirmatively, indicating that it was correct.

"This is the best I can offer."

Li He shook his head repeatedly, and finally said, "I have to go talk to the landlord, but I don't know if it will work out."

In this kind of private house transaction, the middleman's commission is quite substantial, especially since the house is expensive.

He doesn't take a premium, and the commission alone is enough to make a lot of money. He really wants to make this deal happen.

Su Heng and the others nodded in understanding and said goodbye.

On the way back, Su Heng couldn't help but excitedly said to Lu Mingchuan, "Such a big garden, it would be so wonderful to live in it after it's been renovated. Do you think the owner will agree to sell it? If not, we can add a little more."

Beijing will start to develop rapidly in a few years, and you won’t be able to buy such a big house even if you have money.

Once it becomes the city center, its value will increase by a thousand times.

Lu Mingchuan held her hand and walked back slowly. In March in Beijing, the occasional bird calls could be heard from the tree trunks beside the road.

It wasn't completely dark yet.

"Yes, if not, just add some. We have enough money. If we spend it, I will find a way to earn more."

Su Heng likes big houses and he will work hard to earn a big house.
