Director Xiong's face turned black: "Houses don't wait for anyone. Kyoto University has started school, and many people have come to ask about houses in the past few days."

"If you really want to buy a house, you can pay a deposit of 100 yuan first. I will talk to the superiors and negotiate for 6,800 yuan. If we can't reach that price, I will refund the deposit to you."

Shen Junqian wanted to refuse: "Director Xiong..."

Director Xiong's face turned completely black now.

"What are you guys dithering about? I told you that you will only make money if you buy this house. Are you trying to make fun of me? If you are a real man, just pay the deposit."

At Director Xiong's insistence, Shen Junqian and the others reluctantly took money out of their pockets and collected 100 yuan to give to Director Xiong.

Shen Junqian asked Director Xiong to issue a receipt, noting on it that the negotiation did not reach 6,800 yuan, and that 100 yuan would be returned to them.

Director Xiong gritted his teeth and did as he asked.

Shen Junqian put the receipt in his pocket, left his contact information, and led everyone out of the street office.

Following Zhou Yanfeng and Tang Yunling out to look at houses, they eventually ended up buying a house, and finally everyone pooled their money together to buy a big house. No one had expected this.

Thinking that he would soon have a house in Kyoto and a place to stay, Tang Yuanyang walked out of the street office with unsteady steps and a little weak legs.

He asked Shen Junqian: "Can this house really be bought for 6,800 yuan?"

“We can.”

Shen Junqian looked shrewd and scheming, and exchanged glances with He Ting.

He Ting understood Shen Junqian's intention: "You guys wait here, Shen Junqian and Zhou Yanfeng and I will go back and take a look."

"What are you looking at?"

Tang Yunling did not understand what He Ting and Shen Junqian meant.

Tang Yuanyang was also confused.

Lu Baiwei just took the Tang brothers and sisters to wait near the street office at the entrance of the alley. He Ting and Zhou Yanfeng took Shen Junqian for a walk and came back, signaling to them that it was okay.

"Well, there will be news soon."

Lu Baiwei thought He Ting said it very quickly, at least a week later.

But it was only two days, and Lu Baiwei, He Ting and others were still adapting to campus life when the street office sent someone to the school to pass on a message, informing them to hurry over.

When they arrived at the street office, Director Xiong asked them to sit down.

"Regarding the matter of that house, your sister Li and I ran around a lot. After research and a meeting, the higher-ups finally decided to sell the property in Bingjiao Hutong for 6,800 yuan..."

The original reserve price of the house was 8,000 yuan, but Shen Junqian managed to reduce the price by 1,200 yuan and bought the courtyard house for 6,800 yuan, which was unbelievable.

And the process of handling the procedures was unexpectedly smooth.

As if afraid that He Ting and the others would go back on their word, Director Xiong urged them to gather the money and personally took them to the Housing Authority to complete the transfer procedures.

Due to price changes, the proportion of house purchases has also been redistributed.

He Ting and Lu Baiwei pay 30% of the money, and Zhou Yanfeng also pays 30%.

The remaining 40% was divided equally between Tang Yuanyang and Shen Junqian.

Shen Junqian had no objection to this distribution of only 20%. After all, it was easy for Zhou Yanfeng and He Ting to pool their money to buy the house. Bringing him along was a sign of treating him as a good brother. One should not be too greedy, so that they can get along well in the long run.

Tang Yuanyang had to pay 360 yuan more than his original investment of 1,000 yuan.

He Ting and Lu Baiwei both lent him 500 yuan. Zhou Yanfeng called him second uncle, so he was naturally willing to take out the money that Shen Junqian had saved for him and lend it to Tang Yuanyang to buy a house.

Tang Yuanyang was not given any chance to think. He Ting and Zhou Yanfeng made the decision for him. After completing the formalities and getting the key from the street office, Tang Yuanyang was still confused.

Following He Ting and the others, he opened the door and walked into the house. He couldn't believe that he, a person who had just come to Kyoto to attend university, already owned a property here.

Borrowing a large sum of money to buy a house is a very risky thing for Tang Yuanyang.

But he knew that it would be a good thing to take a gamble with He Ting, Shen Junqian and the others. Even if he couldn't make any money from buying the house, he would definitely not lose money.

Tang Yuanyang should be thankful that he was willing to take this gamble. Many years later, when everyone discussed selling the house they had just bought in Kyoto, he realized how much assets he had won from this gamble.

In the whole house-buying event, he was actually the one being pushed along. No doubt, because he followed the right person, he will be able to enjoy huge dividends.

But these are all things for the future. Before he was admitted to university, Tang Yuanyang was just a country teacher. Although he had read many books and learned a lot of theoretical knowledge from them, he still had no vision and no overall view.

There are many things that he cannot see through.

When it comes to buying a house, Tang Yuanyang only has a vague understanding of the tricks involved.

Tang Yuanyang found a wooden bucket and hung it from the well to fetch water from the almost half-abandoned kitchen, then took a rag to wipe the windows.

He was puzzled. "He Ting, you told Shen Junqian that day to let Lingling and I follow Weiwei and wait not far from the street office. Then you can come back and take a look at this house."

"Look at this, how does it help you buy a house?"

Tang Yuanyang was very curious: "Is it because the price of the house was not so easy to negotiate originally, and you guys came to see if it worked now?"

“You discovered it!”

He Ting explained to Tang Yuanyang: "The street office is eager to sell this house, it must be because there is something wrong with the house."

"Director Xiong was afraid that we would find out about the house and regret it later, so he kept asking us to pay a deposit. He said he would find a way to ask his superiors to help negotiate the price."

He Ting told Tang Yuanyang: "Shen Junqian grasped Director Xiong's psychology and asked us to take a turn together."

When Tang Yuanyang heard that there was a problem with the house, he became nervous.

"Did you find out when you came that day?"

After all, he spent all his fortune and borrowed money to buy the house.

Tang Yuanyang asked anxiously: "What's the problem with the house?"

"There's a problem. You'll know in a moment."

Shen Junqian said at the side: "But we just took a look around that day and didn't find out anything."

"I was just putting up a veil to make Director Xiong and the people in the street office anxious."

"Sure enough, they were afraid that we would know there was something wrong with the house, so before we could react, they sent someone to the school and told us to go to the street office immediately, and the price was agreed."

After He Ting and Shen Junqian's explanation, Tang Yuanyang suddenly understood.

He looked at He Ting and Shen Junqian with admiration.

His brother-in-law and Shen Junqian are really smart by taking advantage of Director Xiong's psychology to lower the price!

It was an idea that he, a former primary school teacher, could never have thought of.

From the matter of buying a house, Tang Yuanyang once again witnessed Shen Junqian's ability, and also understood why Lu Baiwei had always said that she wanted to follow Shen Junqian when she was in the team, and asked the Tang family to have more contact with Shen Junqian.

Indeed, apart from He Ting, only Shen Junqian's brain works faster than ordinary people.

Tang Yuanyang was still struggling: "What's the problem with the house?"

"Have you ever asked about it?"

"It's not a big deal, you'll find out soon enough."

Sure enough, after a while, Tang Yuanyang quickly found out what the problem was with the house.
