The property that Chen Li recommended to Chen Ru and her husband was actually recommended to Deng Shangwei by Mr. Wang.
The sales office is beautifully renovated and the building is almost completed, with only some minor details left to be finalized. If the construction goes smoothly, it will be delivered in a month.
In 2004, pre-sale housing had become popular in Chengdu. Most of the houses in this development had been sold, and the remaining units were of two types: one was that the floors had poor lighting and were picked out by people; the other was that the developer had kept the good units in advance.
Chen Ru and Wen Dongrong were quite satisfied with the community environment. The sales lady took them around the model rooms, and Chen Ru already had about 70% intention to buy.
The remaining two or three points of dissatisfaction are due to concerns about the apartment type and floor.
It's a large apartment with a good floor, a square layout, and good lighting. It's 156 square meters, with four bedrooms and two living rooms. Although it's still a bare-bones apartment, you feel bright and comfortable as soon as you enter.
This house is good in every way, but it is not cheap. It costs 4,300 yuan per square meter, with a total price of 670,000 yuan, and the down payment is a full 200,000 yuan!
Although Chen Ru and Wen Dongrong had some financial resources, it was still difficult for them to pay 200,000 yuan as a down payment.
Even if she could raise the down payment and repay the mortgage, Chen Ru still wanted to quickly renovate the house and put it into use. Such a big house would probably cost hundreds of thousands of yuan to renovate, which adds up to 300,000 yuan!
300,000 yuan is enough to buy a house of the same size with decoration in her hometown. As long as she doesn't go to the provincial capital, Chen Ru doesn't feel that she is a "poor person".
"It's too expensive, let's look at the next set!"
According to Chen Ru's request, the sales lady immediately took Chen Ru to see the apartment on the lower floor.
105 square meters, three bedrooms and two living rooms, on the fourth floor, each square meter is 200 yuan less than the 156 square meters, only 4,100 yuan/square meter, and a 30% down payment is 129,000 yuan. If you buy this unit, the down payment plus decoration can be done for about 200,000 yuan.
But the floor was too low and was blocked from the afternoon sunlight by a building in front. The sales lady kept saying that this floor would not be exposed to the sun or get hot in the summer and that we would save a lot of electricity bills in the future.
Chen Li shook her head secretly.
Chengdu is fine in the summer, but there are few sunny days in the winter, so when choosing a house, you must choose one with good lighting.
"Sister, why don't you choose the larger apartment of 156 square meters? It has good sunlight and an extra room, which is perfect for making a study for my brother-in-law and Wen Ying."
Chen Ru thought so too, but she had no money!
Chen Li was willing to lend money, but Wen Dongrong disagreed: "One should wear shoes that fit their feet. Buying a house depends on the needs and financial situation of each family. How can you borrow money to buy a house?"
After borrowing money from Chen Li and Deng Shangwei, he felt insecure when meeting them in the future. Wen Dongrong and Chen Ru were in complete agreement on this matter.
Chen Li had no choice but to ask the sales lady to reach an agreement on the floor and apartment size.
The sales lady spoke very nicely, but when it came to the real issue, she just said "I'm sorry". The three-bedroom, two-living-room apartment type sells the best, and there will definitely be no more left on the good floors.
"Forget it if there's nothing. There's more than one real estate project in Chengdu. Let's look somewhere else."
In fact, Chen Li quite likes the 156㎡ apartment, but Chen Ru and Wen Dongrong can't afford it. When she says she wants to buy the 156㎡ apartment, it seems like she is showing off.
The three were about to leave when they saw a few more people walking into the sales office.
It just so happened that Mr. Wang also came to sweep the building today, and brought Wang Shuang with him.
Mr. Wang is optimistic about the room for growth in Chengdu's housing prices and believes that current housing prices are far from reaching their peak. With houses priced at around 4,000 yuan per square meter, if he buys a few and keeps them, the price will double in two or three years. He can make money without having to worry about anything!
Chen Ru and two other people came to see the house, accompanied only by a sales lady. When a big customer like Mr. Wang came, the head of the sales department personally received him.
The sales lady told Chen Ru that there were no high floors available for the 105-square-meter apartment. When it was Mr. Wang's turn, he could choose any floor he wanted and any apartment type he wanted. Several sales ladies surrounded the father and son of the Wang family. When Mr. Wang liked a unit, they immediately put a mark on it with a small red flag.
Chen Ru was angry, "You are treating me differently!"
The sales lady smiled and apologized, "I'm so sorry, that's the indicator left by our boss's friend. We agreed to let our friend choose it."
The differential treatment is real, the sales lady did not lie, the indicators specially reserved by the boss are all prepared for those with connections, and the sales lady has no say in the matter.
Back home, Chen Ru and his wife actually had some minor privileges, which Wen Dongrong was reluctant to use lightly. However, both Chen Ru and his wife, as well as their friends and family, knew that for Wen Dongrong and Chen Ru, these privileges and conveniences always existed, it was just a matter of whether they used them or not… In the provincial capital, who cared whether Wen Dongrong and Chen Ru had face? Their minor privileges were basically ineffective in Chengdu.
At this moment, no one knew what Wen Dongrong was thinking. He looked calm and reasonable. "Can't you allow the developer's boss to take care of his relatives and friends? Forget it, don't embarrass the sales lady and make things awkward. Let's go somewhere else."
Chen Ru was furious and wanted to tell Chen Li to leave, but she found that Chen Li was still looking at the group of people.
"What are you looking at? Do you know the boss of this property?"
"No, sister—"
Of course Chen Li didn’t know the boss of the real estate development project, and she had never even met Wang Jun, but she knew Wang Shuang!
A few days ago, Wang Shuang came to my house for dinner.
In fact, Chen Ru should have recognized Wang Shuang, but last night Chen Ru's attention was focused on Wen Ying and Xie Qian, and she ignored Wang Shuang's appearance.
Wang Shuang was watching his father buying houses like picking cabbages. When he looked up, he saw Chen Li.
