"some."
Anne nodded, a smile playing on her lips.
“My friend works as a real estate agent, and her company happens to have obtained exclusive listings.”
"It's quite a coincidence that my friend once asked me if I had any clients in this field?"
"Looking back now, it seems our destiny was predetermined, don't you think, boss?"
Annie smiled secretly, her eyes curving into crescents, every smile and gesture seeming to stir the man's emotions.
"Cough cough..."
Chen Dong coughed lightly, pretending not to understand what she meant, and said.
"Then I'll trouble you, Annie. Please contact your friend and see when the landlord is available."
"Boss, are you really going to buy it?"
Do I look like I'm joking?
Chen Dong smiled and asked in return.
"No, I didn't mean to question you. What I meant was that this property is a bit of a rip-off."
Annie was startled by these words and quickly defended herself, not wanting Chen Dong to misunderstand anything.
It is said that the minds of the rich are hard to fathom.
What a tragic end!
Anne was somewhat frustrated, mainly because she was extremely conflicted.
She has the desire to marry into a wealthy family, but she is also unwilling to be treated as a mere ornament.
Otherwise, given her qualifications, finding a man of average means would be too easy for her.
Chen Dong didn't pay attention to her expression, but he became interested in what Annie had said about being scammed and asked her about it.
"Can you tell me how this property scammed you?"
"What else could it be but the price, of course."
What a spoiled young master! Is he really that clueless, or is he just pretending?
Anne rolled her eyes and continued.
“Currently, property prices in Kowloon, the New Territories, and Hong Kong Island are less than 2,000 per square foot.”
"The price of villas in the Mid-Levels is expensive, but it shouldn't be more than HK$100,000 per square foot, and that's for full payment. Isn't this a rip-off?"
Anne grew angrier the more she talked.
Is this young master some kind of otherworldly being?
Just as she was thinking this, Chen Dong's next words left her speechless.
"So cheap?"
Cheap?
Anne nearly choked on her own words.
Is this considered cheap?
Based on Annie's average monthly salary of HK$20,000, it would take her nearly six years of not eating or drinking to buy a 70-square-meter apartment outright.
However, a monthly salary of HK$20,000 is already considered a high income in Hong Kong.
Most people earn an average monthly salary between HK$4,000 and HK$6,000.
After deducting expenses such as food, rent, and commuting, having a surplus of HKD 1,000 per month is already considered quite good.
If you use your monthly savings of 1,000 yuan to buy a house, it would take nearly 120 years.
It's easy to imagine how high the housing prices in Hong Kong have become.
Even the sky-high house prices are nothing compared to the hillside villas.
Annie was amused by Chen Dong's words and corrected him.
"Boss, I meant one foot."
"That's still very cheap!"
Chen Dong wasn't pretending; he genuinely thought it was a good deal.
10 square feet is approximately equal to 0.92 square meters.
If Chen Dong remembers correctly, actor Nick Cheung once revealed on a program that he bought an 800-square-foot property in 1992, which is about 70 square meters, for nearly HK$3 million.
But what about now?
An 800-square-foot property costs only HK$1.6 million, nearly double the price.
Moreover, property prices will only increase over time.
By the end of 1996, an 800-square-foot property could sell for seven or eight million Hong Kong dollars.
Chen Dong didn't think it was that expensive.
But to Anne, it sounded like Versailles.
This is just an ordinary property. On TV, there are often luxury villas with several thousand square feet that cost hundreds of millions or even billions. How do you explain this?
The scarcer a resource is, the greater its potential for price increase.
"Fine, it's your money, and you don't even care about the cost yourself, so what can I say?"
"I'll contact my friend right away!"
As she spoke, Annie took out a small, compact mobile phone from her handbag and dialed the number.
About two minutes later.
Anne covered the phone and replied, "Boss, my friend said the house hasn't been sold yet and we can view it anytime. The owner has entrusted their company with the entire process. If we want to view the house now, she will send a car to pick us up."
Upon hearing this, Chen Dong shook his head.
"Tell her to let it go today, and ask them to send a car to pick us up tomorrow, and we'll go together then."
"Okay, boss."
Annie behaved very well, accurately conveying Chen Dong's meaning to the other party and arranging a time to view the house.
After hanging up the phone.
Anne took a deep breath, suppressing her excitement, and said.
"Boss, we've already made an appointment with them. They'll send a car to pick us up at 10 a.m. tomorrow."
"Um."
Chen Dong nodded, feeling very happy.
This is a scarce resource.
In a few years, it will be very difficult to find luxury homes of 10,000 square feet for sale on the market.
Those who can afford to live in mansions of tens of thousands of square feet are all big shots who wield great influence in the business world.
You can still buy a luxury house with tens of thousands of square feet now, so you can't go wrong.
Thinking of this, Chen Dong said with a smile.
"Annie, thank you for the information. I'll definitely give you a big bonus after the deal is done."
"No, no need, boss."
Anne quickly waved her hand and smiled, pursing her lips.
"Instead of giving me a red envelope, I'd rather wait until you buy the property and then invite me to have a casual meal at your mansion."
