Chapter 96
If someone else said that she wanted to sell a permanent residence to purchase the right to live in a place for two years, others would probably think she was crazy. But when these words came from Jiang Qing, who was ranked in the top three in terms of strength in Guangming Town, they immediately became reasonable.
Fu Yiming knew that she was not acting on impulse but had thought it over carefully, so he did not rush to refute her but started to think about it.
"What we lack now is working capital. Selling the house can really solve our urgent problem..."
But is it really necessary to do so drastically?
He hesitated to speak.
Jiang Qing seemed to understand what he was worried about, and patiently analyzed: "The quality of life in hot springs is much higher than in small towns, and it is also conducive to Haohao's growth. Moreover, according to our previous plan, future development will still focus on hot springs. Since we will not leave in the short term, changing houses can even save living costs. Why not do it? And the sooner you change, the more points you can save."
"The house in Guangming Town is just gathering dust now, and we have to pay taxes regularly. We keep it just for peace of mind. In this case, we might as well sell it. If we want to move back to the town in the future, we can just buy another house in a less central place."
Jiang Qing's tone of voice was very tactful when she said this last sentence. In fact, in her heart, once she moved to the hot springs, it would be impossible for her to move back unless the hot springs went bankrupt.
It is easy to go from frugality to extravagance, but it is difficult to go from extravagance to frugality.
In addition, the boss had just promised that when the lease expires in the future, the previous tenants will have priority to renew the lease - now they don't even have to go through the trouble of fighting for a room.
You know, in recent weeks, every Monday, the couple would rush to the counter downstairs to queue up before seven o'clock, so that they could keep their luxury suite.
Although they seemed to be living an easy life, in fact, they were almost fighting for their lives in private.
The children who couldn’t get out of bed to go to school back then won’t be able to get out of bed even at the end of the world. Every Sunday night, they have to play rock-paper-scissors to decide one spot and bear the pain of getting up early.
Thinking that he wouldn't have to fight for rooms in the future, Jiang Qing felt a sense of relief in his heart.
But she remained serious on the surface, not revealing her inner thoughts at all.
Fu Yiming pondered: "I haven't thought about taxes before."
He was reminded by Jiang Qing and suddenly realized this.
The annual taxes in high-end residential areas are not low, after all, the area of the public areas is there.
The maintenance costs of public facilities, the salaries and benefits of the official team, and the remuneration of the rotating guards of the city walls are all paid from taxes paid by residents.
As a privately-run facility, the hot springs require no barrier maintenance and no security personnel. All costs are included in the operating costs, so this part of the tax is naturally saved.
Fu Yiming was originally just a little hesitant, but after listening to Jiang Qing's analysis, the last bit of hesitation was dispelled.
He made the decision and said, "Boss, can you let us keep this house first? We can pay a part of the deposit first."
Shu Mo had just heard about this and was a little surprised to learn that they were planning to sell their house in order to move to the hot springs. "Of course."
The two made the decision and felt relieved. After calculating the time, they realized that it would be too late to go back to town today, so they could only catch the bus tomorrow morning.
So now...
"Boss, can we go and see the house first?" Fu Yiming's eyes lit up.
Jiang Qing couldn't hide his excitement.
The mentality when looking at a house is completely different if you just have the idea of buying it and if you know for sure that the house belongs to you.
They have even started thinking about the future decoration style in their minds.
Others watching from the sidelines could only feel envy and jealousy.
"Oh, by the way, I have to go back and take my son with me."
After a long time, the two finally remembered that there was a cub waiting anxiously in the inn.
Fu Yiming slapped his forehead and walked out with his clothes in the wind. "Let him go and choose a room by himself. I think he will be so happy that he will jump up..."

After viewing the house in person, they were even more surprised.
The area that Shu Mo marked on the preview picture was real, with no public areas, so the size of the room in person was even larger than they had imagined.
It is spacious enough for three people to live in, and you can even leave a separate area for each person to design what they like.
They were also very pleased with the outdoor fountain, small square and walking path leading to the bamboo forest in the homestay area.
Shu Mo continued to act as her real estate agent, introducing her duties diligently, "If we continue to expand in the future and have more houses, we may also open children's play areas, fitness equipment areas, chess and card entertainment areas, etc., to continuously enrich the facilities in the community."
However, the majority of the sales are still in the commercial street and hot spring business area outside.
As we continue to build hot springs and commercial streets, the welfare of the homestay area will also be improved accordingly.
After viewing the house, Jiang Qing and his wife decisively paid the deposit and rushed back to Guangming Town the next day.
First, a notice is posted on the bulletin board, indicating that a house in the town center is for sale, and the coordinates are attached at the end: You are welcome to view the house at any time, location (xxx, xxx). Then I went home to pack my things.
The two men were in a hurry to sell and had no shortage of money, so the notice paper was almost as big as the hot spring advertisement, and it stood out among the other small pieces of paper.
So when a new day came, when the players went to the bulletin board to search for daily news as usual, they saw the house sale information almost at a glance.
"He must be really rich to be able to afford such a large piece of advertising paper." The general reaction was to smack their lips in admiration before continuing to read.
It was immediately clear that something was wrong.
"Why do these coordinates seem... not on the edge of the city?"
One person opened the map and compared it with the others, exclaiming, "This is a house in the center of town! Did an elite player encounter an accident during the battle?"
There are only so many houses in the town center and they are rarely circulated. Once they start to be sold, it is usually because the combat player who is the backbone of the family has passed away and the remaining family members can hardly afford the taxes, so they have to move on.
Many people's expressions immediately became much more serious.
This house is in such a great location, the original owner’s strength cannot be underestimated. Elite players of this level are all treasures of humanity...
They looked a little sad and browsed the information below with serious expressions.
The contact name is written below the address: Ms. Jiang/Mr. Fu.
The players were stunned.
Why does it look so familiar?
The combination of these two surnames is already special, and the gender further limits the scope. In the entire Guangming Town, there is only one couple that people can instantly associate with them -
The players stood in front of the bulletin board, looking at each other.
"Is this Jiang Qing and Fu Yiming's house? The high-end residence with a super good location?"
A female player was horrified: "Did something happen to Jiang Qing?"
She almost burst into tears.
"That's not right. I saw them this morning." An elite player said in confusion, "They are alive and well."
These two people have returned to the town only a few times in the past month. Every time they come back, they only flash in front of everyone for a moment. They come in a hurry and leave in a hurry. In short, they look very energetic.
"Besides, since their names are written as the contact person, it means they are fine." Another person discovered the blind spot.
Knowing that the two top 10 players were still alive, the crowd breathed a sigh of relief.
Then new doubts arose.
"Since the people are fine, why are they selling the house?"
Someone looked around and asked carefully.
"I don't know, maybe he was poached by another town?"
"I'll go and take a look."
"Just join in the fun."
Several people immediately walked towards the central area, while a few others stood in the crowd, lost in thought.
These few people are the ones who are truly attracted by the house selling advertisements.
Soon, two of them seemed to have made up their minds and walked towards the coordinates marked by Jiang Qing and Fu Yiming.

“You guys want to sell the house?”
An old lady basking in the sun clutched the peach cake in her hand and looked up blankly, "Why is this so sudden?"
Jiang Qing and Fu Yiming had basically packed up their things at home and were now distributing several boxes of Chinese pastries and other delicacies brought from Guangming Town to their neighbors.
While giving the gift, he also informed her that he was planning to move out.
Everyone was shocked by the explosive news.
This is a house in the center of town! When Guangming Town was first built, these houses were the first to be sold - because those who were able to buy the houses first at that time were basically the current group of elite players. Later, the houses in this high-end residential area in the town center became a symbol of status.
So many people want to buy it but can't, they stare at it eagerly, and try their best to get a piece of it, how could anyone be so stupid as to sell it?
"Has something happened in your family? Tell us and we might be able to help." said a kind-hearted player.
"No, we are planning to move to Wenquan." Fu Yiming waved his hand. "You may not know, but there is a new B&B area there, and the conditions are very good. We are lucky and we quickly grabbed one."
His tone was humble, but his expression said the exact opposite.
While showing off, he also promoted Nuannuan Hot Spring.
Some players were shocked and even prepared to go to Nuannuan Hot Spring immediately, while other players still felt sorry for giving up this good house.
“Although the conditions here are not as good as the hot springs, it is close to Guangming Town after all. Moreover, living here, I can integrate into the social circle of elite players. The neighbors are all connected…”
When Jiang Qing and Fu Yiming heard this, they just smiled.
At their level, there is no need to actively seek connections, nor do they need to rely on external pretense to highlight their status.
Not to mention moving to the edge of the town, even if they lived in tents outside the town, who would dare to question their strength?
The focus of several people is completely different.
Some players were trapped in the vanity brought about by this "social circle", but Jiang Qing and the others didn't care about it at all.
They quickly found a buyer, completed the formalities, and after the handover was completed, the house they had lived in for several years suddenly changed its owner.
The player who purchased the house was also a well-known elite player, but he had been active in other towns before and only came to Guangming Town in recent years, so he was unable to grab a house in the town center.
After years of thinking about it, he finally got what he wanted. He was so happy that he couldn't stop smiling. He also said politely to Jiang Qing and the others, "Where are you going to move to when you sell your house this time?"
Fu Yiming: "Warm hot springs!"
Buyer: “…”
The smile froze at the corner of his lips.
hateful! Why on earth did he ask this question?
Thinking about the living conditions in Wenquan and comparing it with his newly bought home, he suddenly felt that the high-end residence in Guangming Town that he had been dreaming of for several years was just like this...
"However, I heard that some elite players from other towns also want to buy houses in Guangming Town. The house prices here will definitely go up." The buyer shook his head. "You have enough income, so you can move directly to Wenquan. For those of us who are a little less well-off, it's pretty good to be able to live in Guangming Town."
The hot springs can be reached in just one hour by car, which is a condition that players in other towns cannot envy.
Everything is afraid of comparison.
In any case, he would not lose money by buying this house at this time.

It took Jiang Qing and his team several days to sell the house, and during this period, the sales office on the commercial street was also busy.
There was an endless stream of people coming to inquire about prices, and what surprised Shu Mo was that even Old He from the bakery came.
He made a lot of money during this period, and hired a baking apprentice. His daily workload was also reduced a lot, and he looked radiant. When he saw Shu Mo, he joked: "I never thought that one day I would have the confidence to look at a house like this."
The hot springs have brought tremendous changes to his life.
Shu Mo received him seriously as usual. After he negotiated the price, Lao He shook his head with a bit of regret, "It seems that I can't afford it for the time being."
It cost too much money to open the store, and his savings were far from enough to pay the rent.
But Shu Mo moved his ears and noticed that he said "temporarily".
In addition to Lao He, a couple who runs a hot pot restaurant also came to ask about the price. In addition, some elite players also came to ask about the price, but no deal was made in the end.
The rent needs to be paid in one lump sum, and this threshold has already blocked many people. Shu Mo knows this clearly, so he is not in a hurry and he slowly receives each person who comes.
In the end, in addition to Jiang Qing's family, the second person to make the deal was a blacksmith in Guangming Town.
They are free to work at any location, as long as they have the tools, they can forge anywhere, and moving to Wenquan to live can ensure their safety, and - maybe they will have a chance to meet Xie Qingyun by chance!
With this in mind, the other party signed the contract without hesitation, and even signed for two years in one go.
[Deposited: 175200 points]
Shu Mo smiled and sent the blacksmith away, staring at the number and letting out a sigh of relief.
The hot spring has been in business for a long time and has received several large orders, but this is the first time that such a large amount of money has been received at one time.
Even her heart was beating faster.
With the first income, things seemed to go smoothly afterwards. The generous guests finally got the news and arrived. Over the next few days, the battle for the remaining seven guest rooms suddenly became fierce.
In the room, Shu Mo frowned as he looked at the three summoned beast messages in front of him.
The signatures on these three letters are more misleading than the last.
They are the mayor of Guangming Town, the mayor of Qingshui Town, and the mayor of Longyan Town.
The three of them wrote a letter personally, requesting Nuannuan Hot Spring to reserve a few homestays for the three towns, and they would pay the rent at the original price.
Shu Mo looked at the last letter and wanted to ask: ...Where did this Longyan Town come from?
In any case, the number of requests from the three people has exceeded the number of remaining vacancies in the B&B area, and it is impossible to meet the needs of everyone.
Shu Mo stared at the three letters for a long while and chose to throw the problem to others.
After biting the pen tip and struggling for a long time, she picked up the pen and wrote stroke by stroke.
"We are very sorry, Nuannuan Hot Spring is currently unable to process online reservation requests... We are extremely sorry for the inconvenience caused to you... If you need to rent a room, please come to the site to make a reservation..."
After thinking for a moment, she carefully added a bracket, "Note: The tenant must be present in person to sign the contract."
After finishing writing and checking it twice, Shu Mo called Bai Rongrong, divided the letters into three batches, and sent them back.
Next, whether the three mayors gave up or came to the scene to pick the hairpins, it had nothing to do with her...
