Chapter 835: A Great Bargain
The host was selling his house and giving it a free story. Lin Qingqing listened and nodded, but didn't say a word.
The owner of this house asked for one hundred thousand yuan right away.
Although 100,000 yuan wasn't a lot of money for her, she still had to spend it recklessly! Besides, 100,000 yuan was definitely a huge sum of money in the 1980s!
Seeing that she didn't say anything, the owner became anxious and said, "There was a buyer before who offered me 120,000 yuan but I still wouldn't sell it. Now I'm selling it for 100,000 yuan. You really got a great bargain!"
Lin Qingqing deliberately kept silent, just wanting to tease him. Besides, Grandma Jin also told her not to speak.
She also saw that the man was anxious to sell the house.
The more this happened, the less likely she was to bid.
After all, there are very few people who can come up with 100,000 yuan at once, so she is not afraid of being snatched away by others.
After the host finished promoting his house with great enthusiasm and his mouth was dry, Grandma Jin spoke slowly.
"Don't just say your house is great. I see it's over a hundred years old. Does the roof leak when it rains? Does the floor heating work? The walls are about to collapse. It's uninhabitable without repairs.
Also, the location of your house is not very good. I heard that this place was a place of execution in the past, and was later converted into a residential area. If an ordinary person lived there, it would be difficult to control the situation.
Most importantly, is the ownership of your house clear? Has it been handed over to the state, or does it belong to you personally? And the vendors at the door are almost blocking the entrance, why don't you drive them away?"
Grandma Jin pointed out all the weaknesses of the house in one breath.
The owner gasped. The old lady looked quite old, but she was very discerning. Everything else was easy to deal with, except the ownership of the house.
Although the house belongs to him, the title deed had been handed over to the state long ago. If he hadn't held on to it, the house would have been confiscated long ago.
He was also afraid that the house would have to be handed over to the state sooner or later, so he wanted to take advantage of his son's trip abroad to sell the house. Getting the money was the most important thing.
I originally wanted to sell the house and take the money and leave, but I never expected to meet such a cunning old woman like Grandma Jin.
Grandma Jin continued slowly and methodically, "I think this house is worth at most 60,000 yuan. Why? Because one day the government might come and take it away. Then our 60,000 yuan would be wasted."
The owner got anxious when he heard this: "Look at what you're saying. A house this big, not to mention anything else, just the bricks and wood alone are worth a lot of money! And then there's the furniture in the house. If you sell it to an antique dealer, you'll definitely get tens of thousands of dollars!"
"I do want to sell it, but I'm afraid no one will buy it. We like your house, but we'll only offer 60,000 yuan. Please consider it carefully!" Grandma Jin said slowly.
The price of the house was agreed upon on the way. After seeing the house, Lin Qingqing raised the price she could accept to 100,000.
After forty years, this house will be sold for at least ten million, not to mention one hundred thousand.
As for the property rights issue, Grandma Jin said she has a way.
She knew Director Liu from the Housing Management Office. Director Liu had a slightly disabled son who was already 27 or 28 years old and still single. Coincidentally, she had a daughter from a country relative's family who worked in Lin Qingqing's store. The girl was 21 years old this year and was so pretty that it was no exaggeration to say that everyone loved her.
Her country relative wanted his daughter to marry a city dweller, so...
