Chapter 122 Five Houses, Old House Problem
Zhang Wanwan didn't say anything but picked up her phone, opened the calculator and started calculating, muttering softly: "Brother, you see, the second phase of the project has just started. The earliest we can hand over the houses is the end of next year or the year after. By then, my parents should have a deposit of one million yuan. Now my parents have 650,000 yuan in their cards. Together, we will have about 1.7 or 80 million yuan by the time the houses are handed over. Let's see how many houses we can buy based on the current price of 4,400 yuan per square meter?"
Zhang Wanwan’s calculation is the simplest, just ignore the process and look at the results.
As expected, Zhang Baiyan's mind became clearer. He took out his phone and started to calculate, muttering, "According to this price, we can probably buy about 400 square meters. After deducting a 150-square-meter unit, we can still buy 250 square meters. How do you want to arrange it?"
Zhang Wanwan counted on her fingers and said hesitantly, "Brother, do you think we should buy two apartments of 80 to 90 square meters and two more single apartments?"
A single apartment is about 50 to 60 square meters.
Zhang Baiyan calculated and frowned, "This way it's a bit over the limit."
Zhang Wanwan advised, "It's just a little bit over the limit, it's nothing. Don't forget that our estimate just now was also based on the safest estimate. Who knows, our parents may have more money than this. If we can't pay that much balance, we can just resell it and maybe make a profit!"
After hearing what Zhang Wanwan said, Zhang Baiyan suddenly understood and stopped worrying. He picked up his phone and reported the situation to Zhang's mother. After listening to Zhang Baiyan and Zhang Wanwan's analysis, Zhang's mother didn't understand it at all and said in a confused manner: "Just as long as you think it's okay, don't ask me anything else!"
Zhang Baiyan was stunned for a moment, and just then Luo Jijun and Manager Lin came over, so he quickly calmed down.
"How is it going? Brother Zhang, have you discussed everything with your family?" Manager Lin asked with a smile.
Zhang Baiyan nodded slightly and said thoughtfully: "We plan to buy a large apartment of 150 square meters, two small apartments of 80 square meters, and two single apartments of 50 square meters."
Manager Lin and Luo Jijun were both shocked when these words were spoken. They thought that the Zhang family would buy one or two more houses, but they did not expect that they would directly ask for five houses in one go. Although two of them were single apartments, they would definitely get a commission if this order was successful!
Thinking of this, Manager Lin looked at the brother and sister more eagerly, and even offered to treat them to a meal, but was rejected by Zhang Baiyan.
Manager Lin also knew that they were anxious for news, so he immediately ran to ask the group headquarters. In just fifteen minutes, he came running over with a big smile on his face. "Brother Zhang, good news! I reported your situation to the manager of the group and told him that you are our old customers. The manager said that since you are old customers, we will naturally give you discounts. In addition, since you want to buy so many houses, we can give you some discounts based on the previous price."
Manager Lin looked around, pulled Zhang Baiyan to the side and whispered, "Our current house price is 5,500 yuan per square meter. We gave you a 20% discount before, which was calculated based on the price of ordinary internal employees. Now the manager said that we can get a 25% discount, which means it's only 4,125 yuan per square meter, which is a lot cheaper. To be honest, people who come to see the house now can't get this price. The most we can get is a 10% discount, and we also give this discount because you are residents of the community and buy a lot."
This price gave Zhang Baiyan a big surprise, and he immediately decided to buy it.
Manager Lin immediately asked his sister to bring a pile of booklets for Zhang Baiyan and Zhang Wanwan to look at.
With the model and plan as reference, Zhang Wanwan finally chose a large eight-story suite in the middle, which was similar to the one they lived in. It was at the very edge, close to the natural lake. It should be quite cool to live in it, and there wouldn't be any noise.
As for the remaining four units, they are scattered in different buildings. The lowest one is on the fourth floor and the highest one is on the ninth floor. It doesn't matter as long as there is an elevator.
After making the selection, Manager Lin immediately started to draft the contract. The total area of the five houses was 410 square meters, and the total price was 1,691,250 yuan. According to regulations, the 20% deposit was 338,250 yuan. The money they brought could not be spent at all.
The brother and sister went straight home with the contract. Perhaps having resolved a worry, Zhang Baiyan seemed very relaxed and went back to his room to tinker with his computer. Zhang Wanwan went next door to find Leng Ziyue with her homework.
In the early morning, Zhang's father and mother came back. Zhang Baiyan went out to return the bank card to them, and told them about the house purchase and even handed over the purchase contract.
Zhang's mother was busy during the day and could not hear clearly on the phone. Now that she found out that Zhang Baiyan and his family had bought five houses, she was almost scared to death.
Zhang's father was not much better, and asked tremblingly: "How much money did you spend today? The money we have is definitely not enough. Tell me, how much foreign debt does your family owe?"
After Zhang's mother recovered, she held the bank card tightly in one hand and the contract tightly in the other. Out of trust in Zhang Baiyan and Zhang Wanwan, she did not question them immediately, but waited for Zhang Baiyan to explain it to her.
At this moment, Zhang Wanwan also came out of the room and hid on the other side watching the fun.
Zhang Baiyan glared at her and explained the situation. "Manager Lin said that only 20% of the deposit is needed. My sister said that the second phase of the house will be delivered at the earliest by the end of next year or the year after. It won't be that fast. We made a conservative estimate and bought five houses. Five houses sounds like a lot, but it's actually not that many, because there is only one big one, and the other four are small. There are also two single apartments, which add up to only 100 square meters, suitable for renting out. The deposit we paid in advance is only 300,000 yuan. You haven't spent all your money yet, and the balance is 1.353 million yuan. You can pay it off when the house is delivered. If our family can't come up with that much money by then, we can resell the house and make extra money."
The couple were stunned when they heard this. Zhang's father and mother had already prepared for the family assets to be confiscated, but they did not expect that the money had not been used up, and the balance was much less than they estimated. For a moment, they did not know what to say.
Zhang Wanwan added with a smile: "Mom and Dad, have you forgotten about our old house? It hasn't been sold yet. It's just right. Dad can talk to the seller and put our house on deposit. When the housing prices really go up next year, our old house will also increase in price. By then, as long as it increases a little bit and is cheaper than others, it will definitely be sold. After all, it is a school district house. With the money from that house, plus your annual income, it should be enough to pay the balance. There is still more than 200,000 yuan in this card now!"
