Chapter 121 Buying a house again, deposit
Zhang's father was helpless. After being scolded by Zhang's mother, he could only smile bitterly and said, "I didn't say I won't buy it. You don't have to keep explaining to me. If you want to buy it, just buy it. Just don't spend it recklessly!"
Zhang's father's attitude amused Zhang's mother and the others. Zhang's mother stopped nagging him, and the brother and sister breathed a sigh of relief, thinking that it was getting late and it was cold, and they would have to cook for themselves if they went back, which would be uncomfortable. Finally, Zhang Baiyan went to a fast food restaurant to buy food. Zhang Wanwan called Leng Ziyue and brought him a portion when she knew he hadn't eaten yet.
The two returned home feeling cold. The windows in the house were all closed tightly, with only one small window opened a crack for ventilation. It was warm and comfortable, which was like two completely different worlds compared to the freezing weather outside.
Zhang Wanwan took off her down jacket and scarf, and happily sent a message to Leng Ziyue. After a while, Leng Ziyue came over wearing home clothes and plush slippers on his feet, looking very lazy.
Zhang Baiyan was cooking soup in the room, just making some seaweed and egg soup with seaweed and eggs.
Zhang Wanwan put the food on the plate and told Leng Ziyue to eat quickly. "The weather is too cold, and you've been running around outside all day. Just make do with what you have."
The more Leng Zi looked at her little face that was reddened by the wind, a hint of pity flashed in his eyes, and he said casually: "I have a bottle of moisturizer over there that is quite useful. You can try it later. If you like it, I will ask Tian Sen to bring it to you tomorrow."
"It's okay, I just got back and I'll be fine in a while. You don't know how many places we went to today, but after looking around we decided to buy the house that's being built out back. Isn't that funny?" Zhang Wanwan smiled helplessly.
Leng Ziyue nodded seriously, with a thoughtful look in his eyes, "The house over here at Shuxiang Family is indeed OK. The contractor and supervisor of the second phase of the project are the same as the first phase, so I think there won't be any problems. You can buy it with confidence. But I suggest that if you buy it for investment and the funds allow, you can buy a small suite like the one I live in, which is convenient to rent out and more popular with tenants."
Zhang Wanwan put down her chopsticks and frowned, "Actually, I think so too. If possible, I would even like to buy a 50-60 square meter single apartment. This is more suitable for renting to single young men and women or young couples. First, the rent is lower than that of an 80-90 square meter apartment. Second, it is an independent apartment and is easy to rent out."
Before she finished speaking, Zhang Baiyan, who came out of the kitchen, immediately retorted, "That won't work. You must buy a big one, the same square footage as ours, and give it to you as a dowry. If there is any money left, then we can consider the small apartment you mentioned."
Zhang Wanwan felt uncomfortable talking about the dowry in front of Leng Ziyue, but Leng Ziyue was calm and even agreed with Zhang Baiyan, "Brother Baiyan is right. We can buy a bigger house now while the house price hasn't risen yet."
"Yeah, you think so too!" Zhang Baiyan seemed to have found an ally, and he pulled Lengzi and talked more and more excitedly.
Zhang Wanwan felt more and more uneasy and wished she could find a hole to crawl into.
After finally getting through dinner time, Zhang Baiyan dragged Leng Ziyue to watch TV and make tea. This time, Zhang Wanwan was very smart and found an excuse to go for a walk.
When Zhang's mother came back that night, she handed several bank cards to Zhang Baiyan, and also told him behind Zhang's father's back to use up all the money in his father's cards.
The next day, Zhang Baiyan went out with the bank cards in his pocket. He felt his clothes were burning. He asked Zhang Wanwan with a troubled look on his face, "Little sister, are we really going to spend all of Dad's money?"
Zhang Wanwan glanced at him casually and said with a relaxed smile: "What's the big deal? We're going to max out not only Dad's card, but also Mom's card. It's fair!"
Zhang Baiyan was stunned, his eyes widened and he shouted in disbelief: "Are you crazy? If you really spend it all, what if your family needs the money urgently?"
"We'll talk about it when the time comes!" Zhang Wanwan responded shamelessly.
Zhang Baiyan was completely speechless. He began to wonder whether he should save money, how to save it, and how to give an explanation to Zhang's father and mother.
As I was thinking, I arrived at the sales office of Shuxiang Shijia.
Luo Jijun arrived early and was talking to Manager Lin. It was not the first time that they had communicated with each other. Manager Lin spoke to the brother and sister in a more casual manner and took them directly to see the second phase plan, including the various apartment types therein.
"Brother Zhang, you will live in the houses in Phase I. Although Phase II has not been completed yet, you should know what it will look like when it is completed. I will not hide it from you. Our group has received news that the next few years will be the golden age of real estate. By then, housing prices will only rise all the way and will not stop. No one knows how high it will rise. It is definitely a good deal for you to buy a house now.
You have seen the first phase of the project before, and you should know that our first phase of the project mainly built large suites, the smallest of which was 80 or 90 square meters. In the second phase of the project, the proportion of large suites was reduced by half, and they were used to build single apartments. In the third phase of the project, there were even fewer large suites. This is a trend. We are all acquaintances. If you want to see what kind of apartment, please tell me first, so that I can recommend some good ones to you. "Manager Lin flipped through various books of Shuxiang Shijia and said in a low voice.
Zhang Baiyan said some polite words of gratitude and asked tentatively, "Manager Lin, we want to ask how to calculate one square meter if we buy it now, and how much deposit do we need to pay?"
Luo Jijun next to him immediately said, "Brother Lin, we are old customers, we are all family, can you see if we can still keep the previous price?"
Manager Lin was a little hesitant at first, and after thinking for a long time, he gritted his teeth and slapped his thigh and said, "How about this, I'll call the group to ask for instructions. The new house price has not been determined yet, so there should be room for negotiation. However, you have to decide what type of apartment you want to buy first. According to the provisions of the purchase contract, the prepayment deposit cannot exceed 20% of the total price, so if you pay a deposit, you only need to pay 20% of the total price."
Zhang Baiyan slowly let go of his worries and said to Manager Lin and Luo Jijun, "Well, Brother Lin and Brother Luo, I'll discuss this with my sister first, then call my parents, and then I'll tell you in detail later, okay?"
"No problem, no problem." Manager Lin agreed readily and found an excuse to take Luo Jijun to see the model, leaving Zhang Wanwan and the others some space to talk alone.
"Little sister, what do you think? I always thought that the deposit would be at least 40 or 50 percent, but I didn't expect it to be only 20 percent. We certainly can't use all this money to buy the house. Otherwise, what if we can't pay the balance when the house is delivered?" Zhang Baiyan's hand pressing on his pocket loosened and tightened, and tightened and loosened again.
