Chapter 249: Big Client Buying a House
Throughout the New Year holiday, the children and adults were happy, and every day they either ate at the Lu family's or went to the Fu family's for dinner. They kept taking out cigarettes, alcohol, sugar, and tea that they usually didn't eat.
All you can eat is meat and rice.
The big watermelons at Luxiang are also very attractive. Whenever I feel greasy, I kill a watermelon and it is crispy, refreshing and thirst-quenching.
When it was time to leave after the Chinese New Year, both adults and children were reluctant to leave.
Xiao Xi Nian also said: "It would be nice if we could celebrate the New Year all the time!"
This made Lu Xiang laugh at her son and call him a greedy little cat.
…
After the Chinese New Year, Fu Qinhui deposited the money he received from closing the factory directly into Du Luxiang's account.
Lu Xiang took her passbook and wanted to go to the provincial capital with him to look at houses.
Originally, they planned to go by train, but since the Chinese New Year had just passed, train tickets were hard to buy. In addition, the smell on the train was too strong and the air was not circulating, so Fu Qinhui decided to drive directly there.
It took more than six hours in total.
Lu Xiang didn't expect the car to take so long, and her back ached from riding in the car.
Fu Qinhui said: "In a few days, when the viaduct is opened, the time to enter the province can be reduced by half."
The road is being repaired now. Lu Xiang said, "Well, I'll drive when we get back!"
Fu Qinhui raised the corner of his mouth: "Are you feeling sorry for me?"
Lu Xiang said something but meant nothing: "No! Concentrate on driving."
The two of them went to the provincial capital together. Fu Qinhui had asked around with his partners before, but he had never heard of anything like buying a house and getting a household registration for free.
I planned to come over to take a look and asked for the address of the house on the way.
But the old lady said, "I advise you not to buy it. We shouldn't buy it. Let his house rot in our hands! What kind of thing is this? Why is it so expensive?"
The old lady complained for a long time before telling them the address of the sales office.
There was no concept of commercial housing in 1984. Most housing was allocated by work units or was self-built.
There are ready-made houses for sale, and everyone is quite eager to buy one. After all, the company allocates housing based on qualifications, so not everyone can get one.
Many families are squeezed into a small room, and they are eager to buy a house. But when they go to the sales center, they are surprised by the high prices.
Lu Xiang and her friends had long known that housing prices in the provincial capital were high, and they had already prepared themselves mentally. As long as they could secure their children's schooling, they would sell everything they had to buy a house.
Their provinces are all strong in education, so this household registration is very important.
After searching all the way, I finally found the new house. It has five floors and two buildings.
Fu Qinhui was a little surprised: "This is the best position in the province!"
They went straight to the sales office.
The saleswoman said, "Welcome!" and even opened the door for them personally. This kind of service awareness is so rare these days.
Lu Xiang said to Fu Qinhui: "Please introduce the house to me!"
There are quite a lot of people coming to see the house.
The sales lady said, "This is the best location, in the city center, and very close to the Provincial Experimental School, the Central Hospital, and the department store. The bus will be running soon, which will make it even more convenient."
There are two types of rooms in total, one is a two-bedroom apartment of 60 square meters, and the other is a three-bedroom apartment of 80 square meters!
Lu Xiang asked the sales lady to take her to see the property in person.
The area we're talking about now is the actual area of the house. Without the common area of later generations, even a house over 60 square meters would look quite large. The house is very regular and square.
The sales lady also boasted that their building had a toilet inside and was very good quality, using only the best boards and tiles.
These days, it's rare to find a house with a toilet inside. For example, the three-story building next door, which was sold together with theirs, didn't have proper drainage. They only had a public toilet outside, but no toilet inside.
The more Lu Xiang looked at it, the more satisfied she became.
Every house here is quite large, well-designed, and square in layout.
Then came the point that Lu Xiang was most concerned about: "How much?"
The sales lady said, "Our 80-square-meter house is 4,800 yuan, and the 60-square-meter one is 4,000 yuan."
After hearing this, Lu Xiang finally understood why everyone thought houses were expensive.
The salary in the provincial capital is a little higher, but it is only 80 yuan a month. You have to go without food and drink for several years to buy a house.
In the past, they all had separate rooms, so even if they wanted to buy one, they only wanted to spend a small amount of money.
I didn't expect them to start with 4,800.
Lu Xiang asked: "This is individually owned, right?" Some houses are collectively owned, and the planning is unclear, so it will be troublesome whether you want to sell or rent them later.
The sales lady immediately said, "You're really professional. You even know this. That's right, this is our personal property!"
Lu Xiang said, "I want to ask you something. Will buying a house give you a household registration?"
The sales lady was stunned, then said, "No!" But she spoke hesitantly.
Fu Qinhui hadn't spoken a word just now, but seeing that his attitude was a little awkward, he immediately started to talk.
Fu Qinhui is the factory director after all, and he is very good at asking questions.
Seeing that she couldn't hide it from him, the sales lady had no choice but to say, "Our boss got ten household registrations and wanted to use them in a lottery, but then people started saying that they were free when you bought a house, so many people came to ask about it, and then we got them!"
There are only ten households in total, how can we afford to send them away?
Those who wanted to buy it were all there for the household registration, so when they heard that it was no longer given away, they stopped buying.
Lu Xiang asked, "Are there any on the third and fourth floors here?" The house has a total of five floors, and the third and fourth floors are the prime floors. There are no problems with drainage and no problems with rain leaking or moisture on the top floor.
And there aren’t so many tricks in buying a house, and you have to pay extra if you want to buy a good floor.
Not now, it’s first come first served.
The selling price of 4,800 yuan for the building was prohibitive, so only seven or eight houses were sold sporadically, and most of them had theirs.
The sales lady handed Lu Xiang a list. All the items that were not checked were available.
Lu Xiang knew very well that after a while, when the market recovered and became prosperous, it would be impossible to buy a house here for 480,000, let alone 480,000.
How could she be so soft-hearted when it came to getting a bargain like this? She had brought a total of 140,000 yuan.
The house is good, the location is good, and the price is not bad, but it doesn’t come with a household registration.
Lu Xiang discussed with the sales lady: "If we buy a few more units, can we get our household registration settled?"
The sales lady was also a little tempted, after all, there was a commission for selling houses.
But the household registration is the boss’s private property, so what she says doesn’t count.
But Lu Xiang's willingness to buy more still attracted her: "How much can you buy?"
Lu Xiang then took the flyer and checked all the 80-square-meter units on the third and fourth floors, making a total of 14 units. Finally, she included the second floor, making a total of 28 units. Even if she bought them all, it would cost less than 140,000 yuan.
He said, "If I can settle the household registration for our family of three, I will take all 28 apartments! I can pay for them today."
The sales lady was stunned. She had seen so many people buying houses, but had never seen anyone so generous.
Twenty-eight houses. The sales lady said, "I'll take care of the household registration!"
If the item is sold successfully, she can get a share of more than 10,000 yuan. Driven by such profits, she would get a household registration even if she didn't have one, not to mention using her own connections.
Then, like a warrior, he rushed to Boss Qiao's door. Less than five minutes later, the boss came out with him: "Nice to meet you! Is it true that you said that as long as the household registration is settled, you can buy 28 houses?"
Lu Xiang nodded.
The boss heaved a sigh of relief when he heard this: "Okay."
This boss has some connections, so he was able to get such a good location. But the house has been on the market for almost two months, and the business has not been very good.
I met a big client today, and I absolutely cannot let them get away.
