"But the price is high. The landlord asked for 20,000 yuan. Shocking! Even if you want to rob someone, this is not the way to do it. Besides, his house is low, short and narrow. It is not suitable for use as a store. Besides, it is in a remote place." Hu Liu sneered.
"Uncle Hu, can you spare some time to take me and Grandpa Bai to have a look?" Leng You's heart was immediately moved when he heard this.
"Niece...Uncle Bai wants to buy it?" Hu Liu couldn't understand.
"Buy it if it's suitable." Receiving Leng You's look seeking help, Bai Changpu spoke.
"Uncle Bai, you'd better think carefully if you want to buy that place. I've taken a look at those broken fruit trees, and they only bear apples, pears and the like. Even if the fruits are good, they can't be sold for much money. It's not cost-effective." Liu Dazui also felt that it was not worth it.
"We will consider what you said and make a decision after we have finished reading it." Bai Changpu nodded.
"Okay! I'll ask Da Sanzi to find the landlord later, and then we'll go over there." Hu Liu immediately agreed.
While Hu Liu and Liu Dazui were busy, Leng You walked around the house. After the walk, he had a rough idea of a plan in his mind.
The third son quickly ran back and said that the owner of the house was waiting for Leng You and the others.
So Hu Liu accompanied Leng You and Bai Changpu out immediately and walked east along the main road in front of the door.
Leng You observed carefully and found that the road became more and more desolate as it went east. There were no shops on either side of the road, and all the houses, old and new, were residential houses.
Seeing this situation, I can’t imagine the prosperous scene with tall buildings here in twenty years.
In front of an adobe house that was about to collapse, the owner of the house was waiting there with black coal dust on his face. I had heard Hu Liu introduce this before, saying that the owner of this house worked in a coal shop, and he fits this professional temperament very well.
Accompanied by the homeowner, several people walked around the house.
"This is the house left by my parents. They have passed away. My sister's family moved to another place. I have my own house. Besides, my wife and I both have to go to work and are too busy to take care of this place.
Rather than letting it go uncultivated and become less valuable, it is better to sell it early. "
What the landlord said is very true.
"Did your parents give this house to you alone or to you and your sister? If it were to be sold, could you make the decision on your own?" Bai Changpu asked the key question after receiving Leng You's instructions before.
"Isn't the family property supposed to be left to sons? What does it have to do with a married daughter? My sister knows about it!" The homeowner seemed to find the question raised by Bai Changpu very strange.
Leng You: “…”
Well! In this era, especially in Tongyuan area, there are a few people who do not have such a concept.
"Whose name is on the property deed now?" Bai Changpu continued to ask.
"Mine. It was changed to mine before my parents died." The owner of the house said this like a machine without any emotion.
"Tell me your lowest price! I believe you have been selling this house for quite some time, and you know that it is impossible for anyone to buy it at this price. Besides, your house might collapse if there is another snowfall.
If we cannot live in the house we bought, we will have to find a place to rent, which is an extra expense. The most important thing is that building a house will cost a lot of money.
There is also the tidying up of the yard and outside. I see that many fruit trees have died due to lack of care, and even those that are still alive will not produce many fruits.
Then hire someone to clean up the garden, prune the fruit trees, and pull out the dead ones...
If you calculate it this way, it might be more than 25,000 yuan, and no one would be willing to be taken advantage of."
Bai Acorus calamus spoke very convincingly.
"Then tell me how much you want it to be!" This house had indeed been on sale for almost two years. As the house and the yard became increasingly dilapidated, the owner became very anxious. There were some people who were interested in it before, but when they heard the selling price, they turned around and left without saying a word.
Later, even though he had compromised to 18,000, no buyer was retained after seeing the house. Everyone's opinions were similar to Bai Changpu's, and they all felt that it was not worth it to buy it at this price.
"If you ask me, this place is only worth 10,000 yuan at most." Bai Changpu's expression made it seem as if 10,000 yuan was a high price.
"Uncle, you are kidding! I want to sell this house for 20,000 yuan, and you give me 10,000 yuan?" The owner's face changed immediately.
"The price my uncle gave you is probably not the lowest!" Hu Liu said with a cold face.
"Uh...but this price is indeed a bit outrageous!" The homeowner glanced at Hu Liu and shrank his neck in fear.
How could he not know the famous Hu Liu? Moreover, this Hu Liu came to his place to look at the house a few days ago. Even though he didn't like this small mud house that was about to collapse, he still said to him, "I don't want this broken place for 5,000 yuan."
"If the price is right, I would buy this place. Just name your lowest price! I have other things to do, so let's not waste time." Bai Acorus seemed to lack patience.
"This... ten thousand..."
"Twelve thousand? That's a lot!" Leng You casually interjected like a child.
"It's a lot. I originally planned to give a maximum of 10,500 yuan. Since my granddaughter said 12,000 yuan, then 12,000 yuan will do!
Will you sell it? If not, we will leave immediately. "
Bai Changlu pretended to take Leng You's hand as if she was about to leave.
"Hey... hey... hey... uncle, don't go! We can discuss this.
Twelve thousand is a little too little! Can you give me a little more?"
Finally, someone offered more than ten thousand yuan. The homeowner's blood began to rush to his head, and he hurriedly opened his arms to stop Bai Changpu.
"Then it's eleven thousand." Leng You suddenly blurted out another sentence.
"Oh? Your granddaughter said she would give you 11,000? What should I do? My granddaughter only wants to give you 11,000." Bai Changpu looked at the homeowner, but there was no trace of joking on his face.
"Uh... um... well... okay, twelve thousand! But let's make it clear in advance that you can't owe any debts, you have to pay it all off in one lump sum." The homeowner gritted his teeth, stomped his feet, and made the decision immediately.
He had to make a decision! This family seemed to really spoil their child to no end. Whatever the child said was the truth. He was afraid that if he insisted, the little ancestor would shout out another 10,000 yuan, and the grandfather would give in to her again. He would be so angry that he would vomit blood.
"But... my granddaughter doesn't agree!" Bai Acorus started to pick it up.
"Oh! Uncle, my little sister just said it casually. It's such a big matter, and you have to be the one to make the decision, right? Look, I have made such a big concession, and you just let me go?" The homeowner begged Bai Changpu.
"Granddaughter! Then let's give him twelve thousand, okay?" Bai Changpu seemed to want to convince Leng You.
