Chapter 17: Pay the rent in one lump sum



"Then if we buy this house now, wouldn't it be a bit like kicking someone when they're down?"

He is not the kind of villain who forgets his principles when he sees profit. He has always adhered to upright morality when buying houses and doing business.

Ma Kaixuan waved his hand indifferently.

"You're overthinking it. If we don't buy this house, someone else will lower the price and buy it. Instead of giving them a discount, we might as well add an extra 100,000 or 200,000 yuan to their offer and buy the house. The houses in this area have great potential for appreciation and utilization in the future. Giving them a little more money won't be considered as kicking them when they're down."

According to the information he had gathered, the house was worth at least $800,000, but the previous buyer had only offered a maximum price of $500,000. The reason was that they knew he was in urgent need of the money, so they wanted to deliberately lower the price in order to get the maximum benefit at the lowest price.

After hearing Ma Kaixuan's affirmative words, Lu Sinian did not insist any more and didn't care about attaining enlightenment.

"Okay, you know the ropes in this business, so you can just run it when the time comes."

Ma Kaixuan patted his chest unyieldingly and said with an expression that it was all up to him.

"Okay, Lao Lu, when the time comes, just sit there and act as a backdrop while I come and discuss things with him. You just need to wait to pay the bill and get the property deed processed."

At the same time, the landlord pushed open the door and walked in. Under the gaze of Ma Kaixuan and Lu Sinian, he sat down on the sofa. Ma Kaixuan spoke first.

"Landlord, have you finished your business? If so, let's sit down and have a good chat about the sale of this house."

The landlord looked at Ma Kaixuan numbly, then looked at Lu Sinian opposite him with a calm face, and finally gritted his teeth and spoke.

"As we agreed before, the minimum price for this house is 800,000. If you agree, we can go to the Real Estate Bureau to transfer the ownership and pay the down payment at the same time."

Ma Kaixuan gave Lu Sinian a look and then looked at the landlord with sincere eyes and said slowly.

"Is that so? 800,000 isn't too much to buy such a big house, but my friend doesn't have that much money. As far as I know, his parents only gave him 700,000 yuan to buy this house, which has already drained their family's savings. If you want 800,000 yuan, my friend will probably have to scrape together the remaining 100,000 yuan, and he doesn't know how long it will take. How about you give us the house at a lower price and give us the 700,000 yuan?"

Lu Sinian: “…”

Is he that pitiful? Ma Kaixuan is indeed a businessman. He can find any excuse to bargain for him. His parents don’t even know that he wants to buy a house in the city, let alone give him money.

I thought he would live in the property owned by his grandfather?

However, Ma Kaixuan's lies were apparently still useful. The landlord lowered his head in embarrassment, thinking for a few minutes before slowly looking up and speaking uncertainly.

"This? How long will it take you to gather the remaining 100,000 yuan?"

Seeing that the trap he had set had been successfully fallen into, Ma Kaixuan seemed to have found his home turf, his imagination was full, and he started to talk nonsense.

"That's hard to say. It might take one or two years at most to get 100,000 yuan together, and three or four months at the shortest. You know, borrowing money these days is like borrowing your life. Not everyone can lend you 80,000 or 100,000 yuan. You have to give 1,000 yuan from one family, 300 or 500 yuan from another. You don't know how long it will take to get the money together. What's more, my friend's parents' budget for buying a house is only 700,000 yuan. If it exceeds their budget, they probably won't buy the house."

Lu Sinian: “…”

As expected, people in the business world tell lies without thinking.

"What's taking so long?"

Are you still planning to buy it?

The landlord picked at his fingers with an embarrassed look on his face, and a flash of anxiety passed across his face. How difficult is it to borrow money from others?

He has experienced this during this period. Ever since his son got into trouble, he has been looking for people to borrow money everywhere in order to rescue his son.

But those who used to be close to him, and those so-called relatives, became like gourds with their mouths sawed off, and wanted to sever ties with his family after hearing that he wanted money. Otherwise, he would not have thought of selling the house.

Therefore, at this moment, the landlord did not doubt Ma Kaixuan's words at all, but silently agreed with what the other party said about the difficulty of borrowing money.

But when he thought about his son who needed to use money to redeem the house urgently, and the prices offered by those who came to buy the house during this period were all lower than he expected, the highest price was 500,000 yuan.

The two young men in front of him offered a price of 700,000 yuan. Although it was 100,000 yuan lower than the price he expected, it was at least more sincere than all the previous buyers.

Seeing that the landlord was unusually silent, Ma Kaixuan knew that he was struggling with his conscience at the moment, so he quickly lit a fire and said to him.

"How about this? Let's go back and ask my friend's parents. Your house is worth a hundred thousand yuan more than they expected. Do you want to buy it? If his parents agree, we can raise enough money and buy it. If not, let's forget about it."

As soon as he finished speaking, Ma Kaixuan winked in the direction of Lu Sinian. The two of them stood up tacitly and prepared to walk out.

A look of determination that says, "I'm leaving, you don't have to see me off, we'll never meet again."

The landlord, who was sitting on the sofa, watched the two young men approaching the door step by step. The last straw in his heart finally broke, and he stood up and called them.

"Wait a minute, don't leave. I agree to sell this house to you for 700,000 yuan."

Saving their son's life is urgent, and no previous buyer has ever offered such a high price. These two young people are obviously very sincere.

His house is worth 800,000 yuan, but that is the market price on weekdays. He can wait and see the price when he has the money and time to sell the house.

I need the money urgently, so a price reduction of 100,000 yuan seems reasonable, except...

The landlord thought about it and spoke with difficulty.

"But I have one condition. I'm selling this house to you for 700,000 yuan, and you must pay it in one lump sum. No credit, no IOUs, and certainly no IOUs."

Ma Kaixuan turned around and blinked in the direction of Lu Sinian, and said simply.

"Okay, no problem. After we sign the contract and transfer the ownership of the house, I'll pay you the rent in one lump sum."

The landlord breathed a sigh of relief after getting the answer he wanted, but suddenly remembered the house he had just rented out and continued.

"Also, before the sale of your property is finalized, all the rent from the shop I rented out will belong to me. However, you must continue to fulfill the remaining contracts and allow those who rented the shop from me to stay and do business there to protect their rights."
