Without having to point it out, everyone present could hear it. It was very likely that the cultural relics collected by Professor Gu were still in that house.

So no matter what was weird about the house, Zhou Yanfeng wanted to buy it.

Could it be that he couldn't guess that there was something wrong with the house?

But compared with the cultural relics preserved in the collection, no matter how strange the house is, it is not worth mentioning.

Knowing that the house might contain a number of preserved cultural relics, and that Zhou Yanfeng had a passion for protecting old things, and that the house itself was valuable, Lu Baiwei made the decision on the spot.

"I'll borrow the money from He Ting if I buy it."

Lu Baiwei looked at He Ting.

This is actually what He Ting meant.

He Ting was very pleased that Lu Baiwei understood him so well. He looked at his wife and then nodded to Zhou Yanfeng.

"That won't do. That won't do."

If Zhou Yanfeng didn't know that there might be cultural relics hidden in the house, he would have felt at ease borrowing the money.

He only had 3,000 yuan on hand, and he had to borrow about 5,000 yuan. Then the house would be named after himself, and it would have nothing to do with He Ting and Lu Baiwei. Zhou Yanfeng couldn't accept this.

I have to say that Shen Junqian understands him.

Shen Junqian proposed a solution: "Then you two can buy this house together."

“If there really is a batch of cultural relics as you guessed, when the policy is restored, the donations that should be donated and those that can be converted into cash will be distributed according to the proportion of house purchases.”

Being a good businessman, Shen Junqian just wished he could get in on this good thing.

He suggested: "If you still need funds, we can also invest in it. Of course, the premise is that it is based on your requirements and is mainly for the protection of cultural relics."

Shen Junqian's proposal made Zhou Yanfeng's eyes light up.

He didn't have much money on hand, and if everyone agreed to focus on protecting cultural relics, there would be nothing wrong in letting Shen Junqian and Tang Yuanyang invest together.

Tang Yuanyang is his wife's brother, and they are family.

Shen Junqian is also a good brother he can trust.

Besides, it would be too quiet for him and Lingling to live together in such a big house.

Buying the house means that everyone has a place to stay in the capital, and this place is only across the street from the school, so it is very close.

This would help his second uncle and Shen Junqian settle down in the capital.

Zhou Yanfeng agreed: "Okay, I have 3,000 yuan in my hand, and I have to leave 500 yuan for Lingling to spend."

"I can offer 2,500 here. Brother Ting, can you also offer 2,500?"

For the remaining 3,000 yuan, Zhou Yanfeng asked Shen Junqian and Tang Yuanyang to discuss who would pay how much.

Shen Junqian said he was willing to pay two thousand yuan.

Tang Yuanyang only had 500 yuan in total, but Lu Baiwei and He Ting were willing to lend him 500 yuan to invest.

He thought that after buying the house, he would have a home in the capital. When Lingling became pregnant, there would be a place for family members to live in Kyoto when they came.

Tang Yuanyang didn't know where he got the confidence from as a person from the countryside who came to Kyoto to attend university.

Since Lu Baiwei dared to take out the money, he really dared to lend it to her.

He immediately expressed his willingness to take a gamble, and took out all his money plus the 500 yuan that Lu Baiwei promised to lend him, and invested in buying the house together.

Although eight thousand yuan is the minimum price for the street office to sell the house, after buying the house, you still have to renovate the house and buy furniture, and everything costs money.

Based on the investment ratio discussed by several people, Shen Junqian, a good negotiator, wanted to lower the price to save money for catering and cleaning the house.

"Director Xiong, after discussing it with a few of us, we can gather at most 7,000 yuan."

Shen Junqian's words made Director Xiong of the Street Office's eyes light up.

These days it’s not easy for many families to save a few hundred yuan.

It seems that a few young people who don’t show off their wealth were able to collect more than 7,000 yuan to buy a house.

Director Xiong's attitude changed. He looked enthusiastic and said, "Young comrade, we have collected more than 7,000 yuan. If we collect another 8,000 yuan, we will have it. Don't you think so?"

"Let's think of another way. To tell you the truth, the higher-ups said that eight thousand dollars is the base price for this house."

"This is a well-preserved house with no tenant disputes. You can move in right away after buying it. Can you imagine where you can find such a good deal?"

Director Xiong persuaded Shen Junqian and the others: "Let me tell you, you will make a lot of money if you buy this house."

Shen Junqian waited for him to finish speaking calmly, and then asked him a soul-searching question.

"Director Xiong, the location of this house is good, and the price is not expensive as you said. Why has the house been kept by the street office for so long?"

"Well, well, this house is quite special, and the higher-ups attach great importance to it."

"There were some property rights disputes before, otherwise the house would have been sold long ago."

Speaking of property rights disputes, Director Xiong realized that he had said something wrong and quickly tried to make amends: "Comrade, I was talking about the property rights disputes that existed before, but they were resolved later. Don't worry, the property rights are clear. After you pay the money, you will go to the Property Rights Bureau to handle the formalities. It will be clearly written on it who the property rights belong to."

"It's a good thing to be able to get the property ownership certificate. I don't have to argue about it in the future."

Just when Director Xiong thought that the matter was almost settled, Shen Junqian changed the subject: "But it's not easy for us to collect more than 7,000 yuan. We still have to ask our elders for money."

"How do you think this will work? Let's not rush into buying a house. Let's go home and discuss it with our elders first."

"The elders in the family must find the neighbors nearby to inquire about the ownership of the house, so that they can come up with money to buy the house."

After saying that, Shen Junqian winked at He Ting and Lu Baiwei, asking them to take everyone away.

Director Xiong is not afraid of people asking about the ownership of the property. After all, the historical issues have been resolved.

He was afraid that other questions would be revealed.

After all, as long as the neighbors are asked about this house, the street office's plan to sell the house will definitely fail.

Director Xiong wanted to slap himself twice, his face turned black with anxiety.

"Well, seven thousand eight hundred. I'll sacrifice my reputation and apply to my superiors. You guys pay a deposit of five hundred yuan first."

Originally, everyone was just pooling money to buy a house.

With two hundred yuan missing, everyone except He Ting who followed Shen Junqian to the gate of the street office felt a little weak.

But Shen Junqian still firmly refused.

"Director Xiong, there is really no rush to buy a house. My elders need to ask the neighbors nearby."

"Besides, 500 yuan is too much for a deposit. We don't have that much money on us."

Director Xiong's subtle initiative caught Shen Junqian's attention, and he became more confident about lowering the price.

"You have to pay a deposit of 100 yuan first."

Afraid that the cooked fat sheep would run away, Shen Junqian refused to listen.

Director Xiong said anxiously, "Seven thousand five, I will sacrifice my old face to negotiate with you."

"We can only get a little over 7,000 yuan from our family elders. We have to save some money for food after buying the house, so we can only take out more than 6,800 yuan."

Shen Junqian said apologetically, "Director Xiong, thank you for helping us, but we really can't afford that much money."

"Besides, when it comes to buying a house, you really have to consult with your elders."

"Don't worry, we will definitely discuss it with the elders in the family in half a month."
