"You two be careful, there are a lot of pickpockets around here, be careful!" Shi Jianjun had been in the army for many years, and as soon as he entered the door, he noticed that many people were staring at them with ill intentions.
"Why don't we go back first?"
Liu Zi was about to back out. She could buy a computer anywhere, or even have Xu Jin bring one back from Hong Kong next time. Why drag Song Yan and the others here and put them through all this anxiety?
Shi Jianjun hesitated. He was confident he could protect his wife if it were just her, but with Liu Zi added, he was less sure. After all, men and women are different, and he couldn't get too close to her.
Sometimes, if those thieves rush in as a group, you can scatter them and prevent them from encountering danger again.
Shi Jianjun gave his wife a wink. After years of marriage, Song Yan immediately understood his meaning, and her eyes lit up with an idea.
"Ouch! My stomach hurts so much! I need to go to the toilet! Find me a toilet right now!"
Shi Jianjun pretended to be panicked and looked around, seemingly trying to find a suitable place for her.
Liu Zi, confused and genuinely believing that Song Yan had an upset stomach, pointed outside and said, "I saw a public restroom outside before I came in. Sister Yan, I'll take you there!"
"Okay, hurry up, I can't hold it in any longer." Song Yan grabbed Liu Zi's hand and rushed out.
A few people noticed them standing there motionless and slowly approached.
Startled by Song Yan's unpredictable outburst, he was stunned and stood there dumbfounded.
Song Yan pulled Liu Zi and ran quite a distance before stopping. She was panting heavily when she said to Liu Zi, "Little sister, you can't come here alone again!"
Even she, a rural woman, sensed something was wrong just now, so you can imagine how chaotic the environment must have been!
"I'm never coming back."
Liu Zi finally came to her senses, her face pale with fright.
She never imagined that the infamous "village of swindlers" would be taking shape so soon; she thought it would take many more years!
"What about the computer?"
Shi Jianjun scratched his head. He was surrounded by rough men who didn't understand such high-tech stuff!
After thinking about it, Liu Zi decided that she couldn't give up the computer, so she simply called Lin Yizhou.
When Lin Yizhou heard that Liu Zi had brought money and rushed into the mall in a daze, he exclaimed that she was stupid.
"I heard that two people died there a couple of days ago because of a turf war. Why would you go there if you have nothing better to do!"
"Buying a computer! Otherwise, who would travel all this way here!"
Liu Zi felt both scared and a little wronged. All she wanted was to buy a computer, why was it so difficult!
"Tell me what you need, and I'll deliver it to your home in a couple of days once it's ready." Lin Yizhou sighed and accepted the job.
Liu Zi immediately perked up; this kid knew a lot of people.
He then proceeded to state each point without hesitation.
It must be the latest Windows 98 system, with large storage capacity, a good chip, multiple interfaces, a CD burner, and a printer. Finally, I told him to buy plenty of CDs and printer paper.
Lin Yizhou's face darkened; he regretted agreeing too quickly.
"Aren't you a writer? Why do you need a computer?" Lin Yizhou asked curiously. As far as he knew, writers just wrote manuscripts when they had nothing to do, so why would they need a computer?
"Of course it's to make money! You're asking for such a high price, how can I afford to hire you if I don't make more money?" Liu Zi said with dissatisfaction.
Lin Yizhou was speechless. What did he mean by asking for too much? He wasn't a hostess.
"My service fees are too high!"
"Pah! No! My fees aren't expensive." Lin Yizhou had been tricked by Liu Zi.
“I got what I paid for, it was worth the price.”
"Okay, okay, our Detective Lin is very capable and does a very satisfactory job." Liu Zi said, rolling her eyes on the other end of the phone. This kid is talking more and more nonsense now.
"I'll wait for your news. Hurry up! I need it urgently." Liu Zi didn't want to listen to his nagging anymore and simply hung up the phone.
"What did Xiaolin say?" Song Yan also came over at this moment.
"He said he would help." Liu Zi felt better knowing she could buy the computer smoothly.
"That's good. This Xiao Lin is quite enthusiastic, quite different from when I first met him," Song Yan said thoughtfully.
"This guy might be a closet pervert!" Liu Zi said, pursing her lips.
"Pfft!"
Seeing that Liu Zi hadn't quite grasped the situation, Song Yan decided not to point it out and let them develop their own way in the future.
Wang Jianwen was very punctual; he was already waiting for them when they arrived.
Upon meeting, they offered cigarettes and water, addressing each other as "brother" and "sister," showing great enthusiasm.
"Don't rush, we want to take a look at the map of the World Trade Center first," Liu Zi steered the conversation back to the main topic.
"Sister, our sales office is right behind here. They have maps and models inside. Let's go in and take a look. If you like it, I can take you to see the apartments in person." Wang Jianwen led the group into the sales office.
Although this sales hall wasn't as magnificent as those in later generations, it still had its own unique style.
Wang Jianwen gave the three a detailed introduction to their property development, and specifically mentioned that their development was designed by a famous architect from Country Y, with a stylish exterior, reasonable layout, and excellent suitability for both commercial and residential use.
"The location is a bit remote!" Shi Jianjun pointed out the key issue incisively.
"Brother is really something, you pointed it out right away." Wang Jianwen was a little embarrassed. Ever since they started selling the World Trade Center properties, this was the most common thing he heard.
Everyone complains that this place is too remote; some even say that they built their houses in the middle of nowhere, and anyone who buys a shop here is a fool.
"Brother and sister, I won't argue that the location is a bit out of the way, but our prices are really cheap! The shop on the first floor is 100 square meters, only 4,000 yuan per square meter, and the second and third floors are only 2,000 yuan per square meter. We're also giving away 30 square meters of building area and a nearly 50 square meter terrace on the roof. That works out to an average of only 2,400 yuan per square meter. We also have a small courtyard in the back, which can be used to park cars. There's plenty of space. You can buy a house like this, a family heirloom, for less than 800,000 yuan. We also offer commercial loans, with a down payment of only 10%. You can't find such conditions anywhere else in Beijing, only here." Wang Jianwen was really afraid that this deal would fall through, so he told them his bottom line.
This woman was the most interested person he had met recently. He was also carrying the burden of two housing quotas this month, and with the end of the month approaching, success or failure hinged on this one move.
Liu Zi was initially hesitant when she heard that it would cost 800,000 yuan. Wouldn't it be better to use that money to buy two more courtyard houses and wait for their value to appreciate?
The World Trade Center pedestrian street only gradually became popular at least four years later, after Beijing won the bid to host the Olympics.
But when she heard that the down payment was only 80,000, she had a new idea.
With current low mortgage rates, a house worth 800,000 yuan can be repaid over 20 years without any financial pressure.
Take her for example. The royalties that Director Wang gave her for Infernal Affairs 1 were not only enough to pay the down payment on a house, but also to cover the first year's mortgage payments.
