The two Xue brothers nodded at the same time.
The eldest son of the Xue family laughed and said, "Haha, alright, alright, then let us brothers do our part as hosts."
They were taken to a private restaurant, where Jiang Xiaoli ate without even looking up. After finishing her meal, she even went to the kitchen and befriended the chef.
Her actions left the Xue brothers and Huang Richeng dazzled.
Zong Jiayu chuckled and explained, "She enjoys making many friends."
"Hehe, Miss Jiang is so lively and lovely." The second son of the Xue family smiled as he looked at the girl who was about the same age as his own child.
When they arrived at the bank in the afternoon, the lobby manager, upon hearing the amount of their transaction, led them directly to the VIP reception room.
The two Xue brothers received half of the house payment, and both parties agreed to complete the transfer procedures the next morning before paying the other half.
Just as Jiang Xiaoli and her group were about to leave after completing their business, a man who looked like a leader walked up with a smile and said, "Please wait a moment."
Guo Mingyi, the branch manager of the Gulou branch of the Industrial and Commercial Bank of China, had just heard his subordinate's report and, on a whim, came over to stop a few people.
"Gentlemen, it's like this. Our bank currently offers significant preferential policies for VIP clients, including fee waivers for intercity transactions and access to internal bank resources..."
Jiang Xiaoli's eyes lit up. "What are your requirements?"
Guo Mingyi smiled and said, "As long as the deposit amount meets our branch's VIP customer deposit standards, it's fine."
Zong Jia nodded; he happened to need to transfer money to a bank in Kyoto.
He stated directly, "President Guo, deposits are no problem, let's discuss the preferential policies further."
Half an hour later, Zong Jia stood up and shook hands with Guo Mingyi, saying, "I'll be in a lot of trouble with you in the future, President Guo."
Guo Mingyi's smile was much more sincere than when he had asked them to stay earlier. "Haha, of course, of course. If Mr. Zong feels that our bank's service is quite good, it would be great if you could introduce a few more clients to me."
After Jiang Xiaoli and her group finished their business pleasantries with Zong Jia and Guo Mingyi, Guo Mingyi sent two employees to take them back to the hotel.
Back in the hotel lobby, Li Guizhi smiled helplessly, "We didn't get to see the old houses in the Forbidden City, but we ended up buying an old house instead. Haha, our itinerary is really quite casual."
Jiang Xiaoli hugged her mother's arm and said, "Hehe, we still have so much time. Let's settle the house issue first, then we can enjoy our trip in peace!"
The next morning, Xu Feng and her daughter rested at the hotel, while Li Guizhi and her daughter, along with Zong Jia, came to handle the transfer of ownership and final payment with the Xue brothers.
Holding the newly issued property ownership certificate, Jiang Xiaoli felt an urge to take a photo and check it out.
Huang Richeng greeted them with a smile, "Miss Jiang, Mr. Zong, I went back last night and prepared several houses that you wanted. Let's go take a look while the iron is hot today?"
The group returned to the hotel to pick up Xu Feng and Xiao Muyu. The first house they looked at was near Wangfujing.
Huang Richeng led the group into the house and enthusiastically introduced it, "This is a housing development for foreign buyers. The developer is from Hong Kong, and 80% of the residents are from Hong Kong and foreigners. This house is the best in terms of floor, size, and decoration among the remaining new apartments!"
Xu Feng and Xiao Muyu looked around, and Xu Feng muttered, "The decoration isn't as good as ours."
Huang Richeng couldn't help but glance at them twice. They couldn't even appreciate such advanced decorations. People from out of town must be really rich!
Xiao Muyu said with a smile, "Mom, you forgot, Xiaoli designed the interior design of our house."
Xu Feng realized what had happened and slapped her forehead. "Look at me, I forgot all about it."
Jiang Xiaoli looked at the two of them with a smile, "Let's look at the house first. If the location is suitable, we can renovate the interior."
Huang Richeng quickly added, "Yes, yes, the most important thing when buying a house is the location. Our community is definitely the newest building in the city center!"
Xu Feng looked at it carefully again and asked, "How much does this house cost?"
Huang Richeng finally heard someone ask about the price, and his eyes narrowed into slits with a smile.
“These are export-oriented properties, and the prices are in US dollars. This apartment is 216 square meters, and the price is $2,200 per square meter.”
Jiang Xiaoli gasped in shock. She had seen it when she was doing business at the bank that morning: the exchange rate between the US dollar and the Chinese yuan was 1:8!
She couldn't help but look at Zong Jiayu, "What happened to the promised average house price of 2,000 yuan in Kyoto? This is way too much of a difference!"
Huang Richeng quickly explained, "In the Wangfujing area, the only houses that meet your requirements are these foreign-sale houses. The others are all family compounds or something, which would be very uncomfortable for you to live in."
Xu Feng learned the exchange rate between the US dollar and the RMB, and she roughly calculated, "Then this house is close to 4 million?"
Huang Richeng still had his signature smile, "In RMB terms, it's 3.8 million."
Xu Feng looked at Li Guizhi and said, "Sister-in-law, I just saw you spend 2 million to buy such a big yard yesterday, and today we're looking at a house that costs 3.8 million. I just can't stand it!"
Li Guizhi didn't know how to comfort her, "Why don't we think about it some more? When you get back to the hotel, you can call Jincheng and discuss it?"
Huang Richeng then led the group to look at several other apartments in the complex, and everyone agreed that the apartment they had just looked at had the most pleasing layout.
Then they went to see the house that Jiang Xiaoli and Zong Jia wanted.
They both liked the same apartment type, 170 square meters, at 3,600 yuan per square meter.
Without hesitation, the two booked the house and arranged with Huang Richeng to pay the money and complete the formalities on Monday.
Back at the hotel, Xu Feng called Xiao Jincheng in frustration, but Xiao Jincheng asked Jiang Xiaoli to answer the phone.
"Little Pear, what do you think of this house for foreign buyers?"
Jiang Xiaoli frankly expressed her feelings: "This is indeed the only decent residential area in this area. If we let the price rise slowly, it would definitely be worthwhile. But as it stands, I don't think it's worth it."
Xiao Jincheng laughed and said, "I think even though we have money, we should save where we can and spend where we can, right? Why are we buying houses with those foreigners?"
Jiang Xiaoli thought for a moment, "Uncle Xiao, did Auntie tell you? Zong Jia and I each bought a courtyard house, but Auntie and Xiaoyu aren't interested. What about you?"
Upon hearing this, Xiao Jincheng became excited. "She didn't tell me! Wow, you've only been gone two days and you've already accomplished such a big thing! Tell me about your courtyard!"
When Xiao Jincheng saw the renovation plan that Jiang Xiaoli designed for Hanchen Community, he immediately fell in love with the Chinese style design. He even made a promise with Jiang Xiaoli that he would have her design and decorate a big house in the Chinese style in the future.
It's easy to see that Xiao Jincheng had a great interest in courtyard houses.
