On Friday afternoon, the two houses were finally successfully transferred.
He Wenlin spent a total of 400,000 yuan, including the purchase price, agency fees, and other miscellaneous expenses, and paid for it in full.
Both houses are registered under He Wenlin's name.
That big house is just a frame now, and it can only be left empty for the time being because it will be demolished in a few years, so there is no need to renovate it.
He Wenlin had her father make a trip to change the locks and put up a "For Rent" sign for the small house.
On Saturday morning, He Wenlin and her mother went to see the shops in Times Square.
He Wenlin was very familiar with this place and had her eye on two storefronts on the first floor, both 23 square meters, with a total price of 184,000 yuan.
That works out to four thousand per square meter.
He Wenlin said, "Give me a discount, 182,000, and I can pay the deposit right away."
Zheng Juan immediately chimed in, "Alright, 182,000 it is. Mr. He is straightforward, so don't drag it out."
The man hesitated for a while, gritted his teeth, nodded and said, "Alright, 182,000 it is."
He Wenlin immediately went with them to a nearby bank, transferred 10,000 yuan as a deposit, and both parties signed a contract.
He Wenlin plans to buy both shops outright, so she doesn't need a loan, which also saves her a lot of other procedures. The two parties agreed to complete the transaction next Tuesday.
"You bought it too quickly. We should let it air out for a couple of days; the price might even drop." Mrs. He felt He Wenlin was being a bit too casual. This was a huge sum of money, over ten thousand yuan, not a cheap piece of clothing!
Mrs. He sighed again, "The house price is only a little over a thousand, but this shop costs more than four thousand. It's really expensive. If I weren't in business, I wouldn't be able to afford a shop in my entire life."
"Mom, 182,000 is about right. Shops are more expensive than houses anyway. And I heard that a supermarket is going to open on the basement level. Once it opens, this place will be bustling. The Second Hospital is over there, the antique market is in front of it, and further ahead is Jiefang Road, the night market, and the city square. This place will be great in the future."
There are plenty of wealthy and discerning people in this world, and many are eyeing this market, so as long as the price is reasonable, it's fine. You'll only lose out if you miss the opportunity to buy.
“Mom, one of these shops has your name on it, consider it a gift from me to you,” He Wenlin said.
Aunt He was startled: "Are you serious?"
"Of course it's true!"
Aunt He couldn't stop smiling.
After laughing, she said, "Don't write my name. You earned it yourself, so write your own name."
“I’m still young and can still earn more. Besides, I already own quite a few properties and land. This shop will be one for my daughter and me each. But my dad will definitely be unhappy when we go back.”
Because Mom has it, but Dad doesn't, so he's definitely unhappy.
Don't assume that your parents don't compare themselves to each other!
"What's bothering him?" Aunt He couldn't suppress the smile on her face.
Mom has made up her mind. She'll tell him when she gets back, and let him be envious, hahaha.
The mother and daughter returned to the food factory. Nothing special happened at the fast food restaurant; He Wenlin usually stayed at the food factory.
After inspecting the factory, reviewing reports, holding meetings, and so on, it was already past six o'clock in the afternoon when I finished.
It was already 7 p.m. when we got back to the fast food restaurant for dinner.
"Linlin, how did it go with looking at the shops today?" Lin Fei asked.
"It's too expensive, over four thousand per square meter. We didn't buy it; we can't afford that much money." He Wenlin wasn't telling the truth.
She's bought so many houses recently; if she were to buy commercial properties as well, it would be too high-profile.
"Over four thousand per square meter! My goodness!" Lin Fei exclaimed, "One shop is worth several houses!"
“Of course!” He Wenlin said, “I originally thought that at 1,000 yuan per square meter, I could buy a small one, which would only cost around 10,000 yuan. I could grit my teeth and buy it. But the ones at 1,000 yuan per square meter are in the corner, the most remote and inconspicuous ones. Oh well, I don’t want to waste my money. 10,000 yuan doesn’t grow on trees.”
Mr. He was unaware of the truth. When he heard He Wenlin say that it cost four thousand yuan per square meter, he was shocked: "If you didn't buy it, so be it. Anyway, the area is still under construction and it will take several more years to finish."
“If we have money, we can still buy one. We don’t have any money, so let’s see if we can get one next year,” He Wenlin said with an air of seriousness.
"Linlin, Auntie, after we've eaten, let's go stroll around the night market," Xia Lijuan invited with a smile.
There's no overtime at the factory tonight, so she's free.
"I won't go, you guys go have fun."
She was already exhausted from shopping every day, especially when she saw a dress she liked that she couldn't wear as a minor who hadn't fully developed. It was even more distressing.
"Why not go? Don't you like the night market?"
He Wenlin raised her eyes and gave her a long, meaningful look: "That's right. With my status, even if I don't buy Armani or Chanel, I should at least buy a few clothes from department stores. If I go out wearing clothes from street stalls, with pills and loose threads, what will the other bosses think of me? Don't I, Little He, have any face?"
He Wenlin really didn't mean to look down on street vendor goods; she was wearing very ordinary and inexpensive clothes and shoes herself.
She said this simply to put Xia Lijuan in her place.
Xia Lijuan was stunned; she really hadn't expected He Wenlin to say that.
Aunt He quickly smoothed things over, saying, "Linlin is just too tired. She doesn't usually go to the night market because she thinks there are too many people and doesn't like crowds. I like going, so let's go for a stroll in a bit."
Xia Lijuan then smiled and said, "Linlin, is there anything you want to eat? I'll bring you some delicious food."
He Wenlin's brow furrowed: Could this sudden kindness towards her be a ploy to borrow money?
Aside from lending her money, He Wenlin couldn't think of any other value she had to her.
Relatives and friends back home might not believe it, but those who have come here know that He Wenlin is the one who truly controls the household, power, and finances!
“Sister-in-law, you can buy more for yourself. I don’t need anything, and we always have snacks at home,” He Wenlin said.
Aunt He: "Don't squander your money. Save it to buy a house. You'll also need money to open your own shop later, and opening a shop will cost a lot of money."
Grandma He: "Your aunt is right. Opening a shop is very expensive. You should save your salary and buy a house here as soon as possible. In the future, you brothers and sisters can all stay here and take care of each other."
Xia Lijuan said with a smile, "We'll work hard so we can be Linlin's neighbors in the future."
He Wenhua laughed and said, "You can forget about being neighbors with Linlin. Linlin will definitely live in a big villa in the future. We'll be lucky if we can buy an old, run-down apartment. You'd better elevate your pillow when you sleep at night."
He Wenlin is too amazing. He Wenhua feels that he will never be able to catch up with this younger sister in his lifetime. He feels that he is very happy to be able to follow behind her and have a sip of soup.
