Lin Guihua is now a worldly person. With the shop earning tens of thousands of yuan a month, she's not naive enough to think that people are talking about fifty thousand. She understands that it means five hundred thousand.
Based on the store's current income, 500,000 yuan can be earned in a year. Lin Guihua thinks it's acceptable to use a year's income to buy a house, and to buy the detached house she has always dreamed of.
Moreover, even if things go badly, there's still the son's savings of over seven million to support them. Compared to seven million, 500,000 is just a drop in the ocean.
With this in mind, Lin Guihua felt confident: "No problem, as long as the house is good."
Lin Guihua's confidence gave Xiao Guan a sense of assurance, and she warmly led his family to a room filled with models and sand tables.
"Look, these are all our building models and floor plans. The detached villa you wanted to see, Auntie, is right here."
Facing south, each unit is at least 300 square meters in size, with a small courtyard on the first floor and a large balcony on the second floor.
The price is also very reasonable. If you buy now, you can get a 10% discount off the original price, which is a great deal. Would you like to take a look?
While such detached villas would certainly be attractive and fetch high prices in later generations, they are not popular in this era. Nowadays, everyone is scrambling to live in apartment buildings.
These detached villas are usually bought by wealthy people who only live in them occasionally, so they are not easy to sell. This batch of detached villas has been built for more than half a year, and half of them are still unsold. The owner is eager to collect money, so he is offering a 10% discount to attract buyers.
Nowadays, people only look at completed properties; there's no such thing as off-plan properties.
Lin Guihua was immediately captivated by the model and couldn't wait to move in. She promptly asked to see the actual house.
Liu Yihang also felt that you have to actually see a house to know its value.
"Then let's go take a look!"
However, when Xiao Guan went to get the key to the model house, she encountered an obstacle.
The woman who had spoken earlier scolded, "Do you really think those poor bastards can afford a detached house? Don't be naive. Let alone 500,000, I doubt they could even come up with 50,000. You're wasting your time all day. With so much time, you might as well go out and hand out flyers on the street."
"Sister Yan, just give me the key, maybe they'll buy it!" Xiao Guan felt she had a high chance of making a sale this time. People's eyes don't lie, and she felt that Lin Guihua's eyes were sincere and expectant.
The woman called Sister Yan not only refused to give her the key, but also deliberately raised her voice, saying, "I'm not giving you the key. Do you think just anyone can go and see a detached villa?"
Liu Yihang and the others outside naturally heard it too.
What bad luck!
Lin Guihua was also a little unhappy. She had money, so why was she afraid of not being able to buy a house? Humph.
“Son, let’s go. There are so many real estate companies here. I don’t believe that we can’t buy a house even if we have money.”
The little devil was troublesome, and Liu Yihang was too lazy to bother with him. He had been dragged down for no reason, so he grabbed Yunyin and turned to leave.
As soon as he turned around, he saw Yuan Tiangang walking towards him with a middle-aged man.
"Uncle Yuan? What are you doing here?"
Yuan Tiangang was also surprised to see Liu Yihang. He didn't expect to run into him again just one night later. What a coincidence!
"Young Liu, elder brother, sister-in-law, I came here to take care of some business, what are you doing here too?"
“Uncle, we’ve come to look at the house today,” Lin Guihua replied with a smile.
"Haha, so you're looking at houses. You should buy a few big houses. Don't forget to invite me when you move in," Yuan Tiangang laughed.
Upon hearing this, the middle-aged man realized that Yuan Tiangang addressed him as "elder brother" and "elder sister-in-law," implying that they were either friends or relatives, and that Yuan Tiangang had come to his sales center to buy a house.
"Haha, what a coincidence, we're all on the same side. Come in and have a seat."
Although things had just turned unpleasant, one shouldn't hit a smiling face. The middle-aged man was clearly a leader and knew Yuan Tiangang well, so Liu Yihang and the others went inside again.
"Xiao Wang, we have guests. Quickly make some tea," the middle-aged man called out to the woman.
Wang Yan smiled awkwardly. She never expected that the poor guy she had always looked down on would become the general manager's honored guest.
She could only hope that people wouldn't hold it against her.
"Brother and sister-in-law, what kind of apartment are you looking to buy? Have you decided yet? General Manager Liang is here, so we can have him give you a proper introduction," Yuan Tiangang asked.
Lin Guihua naturally told her the truth.
“We originally wanted to look at detached villas, but she said we couldn’t afford them, so we thought we’d look at another one.” Lin Guihua subtly gave Wang Yan a piece of her mind.
"Oh? Is that so? You're really looking down on people. Even my brother and sister-in-law, with their wealth, can't afford this. Is your house made of gold? Mr. Liang?" Yuan Tiangang subtly boosted Lin Guihua's prestige and then mocked her.
Upon hearing this, General Manager Liang glared at Wang Yan, thinking, "This woman's old habits have kicked in again."
If he hadn't thought Wang Yan was quite capable, he really wouldn't have wanted her. She was all talk and no action, and always caused trouble.
"Wang Yan, come over here and apologize to the customer right now! What have I told you? If this happens again, don't bother coming to work. I can't afford to hire you," General Manager Liang said angrily.
When Wang Yan realized that her scheme had been exposed, she cried and said, "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, it was my fault. I shouldn't have looked down on people. Please forgive me."
Seeing her pitiful appearance, and seeing how angry President Liang was, Lin Guihua softened and waved her hand, saying, "Never mind, just don't do it again."
Liu Yihang knew his mother was soft-hearted, so he didn't say anything more. He was used to it; that's just how society is—it's never short of snobbish people. He just needed to do his best.
Seeing this, Yuan Tiangang didn't say anything more, stopping short of saying more.
To ease the tension and do a favor, Mr. Liang said, "Speaking of detached villas, I have two villas in Jinlong Bay that I had already sold, and the buyers had paid the deposits."
Then his family suddenly went bankrupt, making it impossible for them to pay the mortgage, so the two houses came back into my possession. I haven't found a buyer yet, and I don't know if you'd be interested.
He thought to himself that Yuan Tiangang had said that wealthy people should be able to afford the house, so he didn't think much of it.
Upon hearing about Jinlong Bay, Yuan Tiangang immediately said, "Young Liu, the houses in Jinlong Bay are quite nice. My family also lives in Jinlong Bay. We just moved in at the beginning of the year. When we bought it, it was 4,000 yuan per square meter. Old Liang wouldn't budge on a penny, and it cost me more than 1.2 million yuan. If you move there, we can see each other more often."
There were several layers of meaning in his words, which Liu Yihang understood. First, Jinlong Bay was a good place, and he had bought a property there as well.
Secondly, it was to give Liu Yihang a heads-up about the price so he wouldn't be deceived, and also to prepare him mentally for the cost of the house.
When Lin Guihua heard that it cost more than 1.2 million, her heart pounded. What kind of house cost more than 1.2 million? She could barely accept 500,000, but more than 1 million was too expensive. However, having just experienced being looked down upon, she had learned to remain calm and collected, but she silently thought to herself that it was ridiculously expensive.
"Uncle Yuan, where is Jinlong Bay? Is it far? What's the situation with the houses there?"
