"How much cheaper can you give us for this house?" Luo Jiuyu turned to ask the agent.
"Sir, the price I quoted is already the lowest price." The agent smiled.
"Although this house is new and has never been lived in, there are some things we're not happy with. The yard is overgrown with weeds, and it's obvious the previous owner hadn't taken care of it. We'll have to pay someone to clean it up, and the fence will have to be rebuilt.
Many of the floors on the stairs and in the bathroom were defective and had missing tiles. We had to pay to replace them, but it took time to find tiles with the same pattern and color.
The kitchen countertops were obviously of poor quality and cracked easily. The range hood and stove were mid-range, which we didn't like. Furthermore, the exhaust vent had punctured the insulation and hadn't been repaired, which was serious.
The facilities around the house are quite average. There are no good schools or high-end hospitals, and large shopping malls are far away. If we have children in the future, schooling will be a problem.
After careful inspection, I found that this house has many problems. For example, one of the two layers of glass in the master bedroom window does not have 3C certification, and the certified layer of glass is only 0.5 hours flame retardant. It is obviously a downgrade compared to the previous two phases..."
Luo Jiuyu immediately pointed out a bunch of problems with the house, and both the agent and Hua Meimei were stunned.
Hua Meimei, who was originally very satisfied with the house, suddenly felt that the house had so many problems after hearing this and was a little reluctant to buy it.
She pouted slightly as she thought about it again and again, her brows furrowed, and her face looked frustrated.
The agent saw her doubts and said quickly, "Wait a moment, I'll call the landlord to negotiate a price."
"Tell him to reduce the price by 200,000. This is our bottom line. Otherwise, we won't buy it. This is the first house we have seen. There are many houses left to see. We are not in a hurry." Luo Jiuyu reminded the agent.
The agent said hello and went outside with his cell phone to make a call.
After a while, he came back in and said happily, "The landlord agreed to reduce the price by 200,000 yuan."
The homeowner was desperate to sell the house. The price was already 500,000 yuan lower than the market price, and Luo Jiuyu's criticism of the house only made the homeowner even more anxious, so he quickly agreed to reduce the price by another 200,000 yuan.
The final transaction price was 8.5 million.
After signing the contract, the agent asked her to transfer the property in two days.
After the agent left, Hua Meimei and Luo Jiuyu stayed in the house for a while and looked around.
Hua Meimei now owns her first house in her life, which means a lot to her.
From now on, you don’t have to worry about having nowhere to go.
When she can't go back to her parents' home and her husband's family doesn't want to stay, she can come to her own home.
"Is there really so much wrong with this house?" She checked all the problems he had just mentioned one by one, and they didn't seem that bad.
"I can save you 200,000 yuan just by talking, what do you think?" He laughed.
"You're exaggerating. The homeowner's offer was $500,000 lower than the market price." She suddenly felt a little sympathetic to the homeowner.
"Is it easy for you to make money?" He raised his eyebrows.
She thought about her daily hard work and said, "It's not easy."
"Don't feel sorry for people who are richer than you; they live better than you do," he said. "This homeowner was able to buy this house three years ago and never lives in it, which means he has a house elsewhere and is far richer than you."
She understood, "That's right."
"Are you planning to live here in the future?" He blinked his eyelashes slightly, worried.
It's not very close to drive from this house to Xinzhi Building for work. It takes at least half an hour.
It is not as convenient as the ten-minute drive from Zhenlongtai.
"If you don't mind, I'll stay." Hua Meimei smiled.
He said: "I have opinions, big opinions."
"Let's talk about it after the New Year. We can't live here now."
The house needs to be cleaned inside and out, and any defects need to be addressed and repaired.
She's been busy lately and doesn't have time to do it.
"I want to plant some flowers and plants in the backyard, build an archway, and plant climbing flowers, like the flower gates people use for weddings."
He asked, “Do you want to renovate this house?”
The house was new and no one had ever lived there. Renovating it would cost a lot of money, and she felt it was unnecessary.
After paying full price for a car and a house, she was running low on cash. The remaining cash flow in the company's account couldn't be used casually, as it would be needed to order new goods after the New Year.
Luo Jiuyu added: "I'll ask Bai Ning to send someone to help you clean up the house, and let him take care of the repairs."
Hua Meimei was worried that she didn't have the time to do these things and didn't have the experience to deal with them. She was naturally relieved to have Butler Bai Ning come to help her.
"Okay. I'll trouble Butler Bai then." She smiled relaxedly. "I'll treat him to a nice meal after I'm done!"
"No, that's his job. His job is to manage the household." Luo Jiuyu scratched her nose.
"Hey, can I ask you something?"
"What?"
"Butler Bai helps you manage such a big house and also helps you look after your properties in other places. How much salary do you pay him a year?" She occasionally wanted to gossip.
He looked at her and smiled, "It's probably the price of your car."
Butler Bai’s annual salary is over one million?
She tutted her words with some envy.
"The New Year is coming soon, and I have to give red envelopes to Butler Bai and the others." Luo Jiuyu said.
"How much do you plan to pack?" She blinked.
"It depends on my mood."
"How much is it?"
"Before I had a wife, I had to worry about all these things. Now that I have a wife for the New Year this year, I'll let her take care of the household affairs." He hugged her and said with a smile.
"I have to give year-end bonuses and red envelopes to my employees. I'm also very busy." She didn't want to take on the work that should be done by Mrs. Luo.
