Chapter 371 Buy at home and abroad
After breakfast, Lin Siqiao was about to talk to Lu's mother when the phone at home suddenly rang.
Grandma Lu picked up the phone, said "Hello", and handed the receiver to Lin Siqiao.
"Qiao Qiao, said he was looking for you."
Lin Siqiao guessed that there might be news about the house, and sure enough, he heard the other party's anxious voice the next second.
He asked Lin Siqiao when he would be free as he wanted to sign the contract as soon as possible.
Lin Siqiao was not free today, so she said, "How about tomorrow? By the way, I only accept long-term leases, and the lease period is at least three years."
Nowadays, rent in the city is paid on a monthly basis, so she didn't mention paying for the whole year.
The other party was waiting for her to say this, "Comrade Lin, don't worry. Since we are renting, we must be looking for a long-term lease. Otherwise, how about this, we will also rent for five years."
If Lin Siqiao hadn’t said yesterday that the house would only be rented for a maximum of five years, they would have really wanted to sign a few more years.
After all, they have only been in the company for two years, and it will take at least ten or eight years for them to get welfare housing from the company.
Then the man said, "Comrade Lin, you said yesterday that you had another house. I want to ask if you have rented it out?"
"If it's not rented out, can you give priority to my colleague? My colleague is a very honest person."
Lin Siqiao thought about it and didn't refuse, but it was hard to explain over the phone, so she made an appointment with the other party, said they would meet tomorrow to discuss the details, and then hung up.
When she turned around, she found that everyone was looking at her.
Grandma Lu asked carefully, "Qiao Qiao, do you want to rent out the house?"
Because they didn't hear what the other party said, they only heard Lin Siqiao talking about renting a house.
The house was for Lin Siqiao, and they had no objection to how she dealt with it.
Grandma Lu was a little reluctant to leave. After all, the couple had only lived in this wedding house for more than ten days.
Mother Lu had the same idea. "Qiao Qiao, why don't you not rent it out? The bedroom over there is bigger and it will be more comfortable for you to live in when you come back."
Lin Siqiao took a while to react before he understood.
"Grandma, Mom, you misunderstood. The house I said to rent is not the one on Changle Road."
That was their wedding house and also their engagement house. Lin Siqiao would never touch this house no matter what.
"Not this one?" The Lu family became even more confused after hearing this.
Lin Siqiao nodded, and then told him that she had bought six houses in Pudong.
Hearing this, the living room instantly became quiet.
After looking at each other, they didn't know what to say.
Lin Siqiao could understand this. After all, if her behavior happened in the future, it would be equivalent to spending millions to buy a pile of scrap metal, which was a pure waste.
But Lin Siqiao was determined to buy a house and land, so she said it directly while everyone was here today.
As he spoke, Lin Siqiao took out all the big unity bottles from his bag and placed them on the coffee table.
Among them was the dowry money given by Uncle Qiu (1,000 yuan), the dowry given by my uncle and grandmother (1,588 yuan), and the bulk of the money was the fee for changing their names and the gift for meeting them.
The gifts from relatives and friends were directly handed over to Lin Siqiao by Lu's mother on the second day of the wedding.
Lin Siqiao hasn’t counted the total amount, but he knows it’s probably around five to six thousand.
Lin Siqiao pushed all the red envelopes to Lu's mother, who was stunned.
"Qiao Qiao, why are you giving me so much money? I don't want it."
"Mom, listen to me first."
Lin Siqiao said, "I have already found a way to rent out those houses. All of them are signed with the government, so there won't be any disputes."
"They will pay the rent on time starting next month. Please help me collect it then."
Mother Lu nodded, saying that it would be no problem for her to take care of this little thing.
However, after hearing Lin Siqiao's next words, the expressions of the people present could no longer be described as shocked.
Lin Siqiao pushed the red seal in front of Lu's mother again.
"Mom, please keep this money for me. I have contacted an uncle named Zhang in Pudong. He will contact you when he finds a suitable house."
What Lin Siqiao meant by suitable does not only refer to the price, but also the location and whether the procedures are complete.
She had already discussed the specific details with Uncle Zhang yesterday.
Of course, she would not let Uncle Zhang work in vain. As long as a house was sold, she would give him a commission of 50 yuan.
Mother Lu was horrified when she heard this. Why did she think her daughter-in-law wanted to buy a house?
Lin Siqiao nodded. Yes, she would buy more, not only in China but also abroad.
Lin Siqiao said, "Mom, I'm going to go abroad next month. Jianchuan is in Beijing and doesn't have time to take care of these things. I can only trouble you with this matter."
Of course, she wouldn't leave everyone so confused.
Lin Siqiao only said that the Shanghai stock market would develop sooner or later, and Father Lu understood what she meant.
He works in the city government, so if there is any movement up there, they are the first ones to know about it.
In the past two years, the great movement is still going on vigorously.
But he could sense that this storm would not last much longer.
Thinking of this, Father Lu expressed his opinion directly, "Qiao Qiao, we are all family, there is no such thing as trouble or no trouble."
"Just tell your mother what she needs to do when the time comes."
Since Mr. Lu agreed, Mother Lu naturally didn't say anything more.
Lin Siqiao thanked him sweetly before saying, "Mom, this is easy. When Uncle Zhang contacts you, you can go to the Housing Authority with him to change the procedures and then pay the house price."
Mother Lu nodded, "Okay, Mom knows what to do."
The next day, Lin Siqiao went to Pudong and finalized the deal for the two houses.
As for the last twisted house, Lin Siqiao was quite troubled.
I don't want to rent it, but it's not a good idea to leave it empty all the time.
Just when Lin Siqiao was struggling with what to do, Uncle Zhang suddenly contacted her two days later.
It turned out that early this morning, someone from the children's welfare home came over to inquire about the situation.
Their welfare home is located in Pudong, but the current campus is too small to accommodate all those abandoned children.
The land grant procedure is the same as that for the Second Daily Chemical Factory and has not yet been completed.
There are quite a few empty courtyards in Pudong, and after looking around, they decided that Lin Siqiao's was the most suitable.
The yard is big enough and is next to the park, so the children can have a place to play.
Lin Siqiao agreed without much thought.
The welfare home is not that watered down at this moment, and Lin Siqiao is not counting on the rent to get rich, he just thinks of it as doing his part.
Things have been almost dealt with, and Lin Siqiao and the others are about to pack up and prepare to return to Beijing.
