After bargaining, the two houses were finally bought for HK$720,000 and HK$740,000, a total of HK$1.46 million.
Du Shaojie had HK$4.35 million in his previous account, and he transferred HK$50,000 to Wang Liwen, leaving 4.3 million. The funds were sufficient, so he did not choose a mortgage, but planned to pay in full.
Manager Jiang smiled from ear to ear. The current situation is that there are many people selling and few people buying. His performance this month is about to fail, but he didn't expect a big order to come.
"Mr. Du, you pay a deposit first, and after all the procedures are completed, you can pay the balance."
Manager Jiang and the owner of the house agreed to transfer the ownership tomorrow. After the transfer, the house will belong to Du Shaojie.
Du Shaojie nodded, and later went to see two small houses, and then went to the hotel to check in.
"Lulu, you can do your thing tomorrow, I can do the rest myself."
In the evening, Du Shaojie and Qin Lu went to have dinner together.
Qin Lu happened to be very busy recently. The Shenzhen City project has entered the substantive operation stage, and she doesn't have time to accompany Du Shaojie every day.
"Well, I'll accompany you for two days next time you come."
Qin Lu then said goodbye and left, and Du Shaojie called Wang Liwen.
The telephone penetration rate in Hong Kong is much higher, and even the house where Wang Liwen rented has a telephone.
"Sister Liwen, I'm in Hong Kong."
"Ah? When did you come? You didn't tell me in advance. Where do you live? I'll go to find you now."
"I'm still staying at the Regent Hotel, come on."
Du Shaojie then told the other party the room number of the hotel, and Wang Liwen went out and took a taxi straight to the hotel.
Du Shaojie put down the phone and took a shower. As soon as he finished, he arrived.
What happened next was a matter of course, like dry wood meeting fire and a comet hitting the earth. It took almost an hour of noise before it quieted down.
"Shaojie, I have passed the medical qualification examination in Hong Kong and am currently looking for a job. Mo Mo helped me find a hospital before. The conditions are good in all aspects, but I can't start work until next month."
Wang Liwen leaned on Du Shaojie's shoulder and told her about her recent situation.
With Du Shaojie's help, she can calmly face the exam and the subsequent job search without being anxious for financial reasons.
"I plan to mortgage a 300-square-foot house after I start working and get paid. It shouldn't be too stressful slowly."
Now that she has a job, Wang Liwen has other ideas.
Perhaps influenced by Du Shaojie, she first wants to own a house of her own.
300 square feet is less than 30 square meters. It is called a snail house in the mainland, but it is considered good in Hong Kong.
Many residential units in Hong Kong are only 20 square meters, and there are even 12 square meters or a few square meters.
"It's good that you have an idea. I have something to do tomorrow morning. I will accompany you to look at houses in the afternoon."
Du Shaojie chatted with Wang Liwen for a while, and then felt that someone was starting to make a move again.
Why are you being polite? Just keep fighting.
The next day.
Under the leadership of Manager Jiang, Du Shaojie went with the owner to handle the transfer formalities, and then paid the balance and fees for the purchase of the house.
His (Hong Kong dollar) account balance instantly became 2.82 million Hong Kong dollars.
When he returned to the Regent Hotel, Wang Liwen had just gotten up.
"Haha, let's just go to lunch together."
"It's all your fault, you're like a savage."
Wang Liwen rolled her eyes, and the happy expression on her face was quite touching.
However, Du Shaojie didn't dare to tease her anymore, lest he couldn't leave the house later and be embarrassed.
The two went to eat first, and then went to another real estate agency.
"Miss Wang is here? Please sit down. Would you like tea or coffee?" The person
who received Wang Liwen and Du Shaojie was a young girl named Cui, whom Wang Liwen had met several times before.
"Tea, thank you."
The two drank a cup of tea and asked Manager Cui to take them to see the house.
After looking at several houses, Du Shaojie thought that a 400-square-foot house was good. The total price was HK$300,000, and the unit price (per square foot) was HK$750, which was not expensive.
"Let's take this one."
Du Shaojie made a decision quickly, but Wang Liwen was a little entangled.
It is not impossible to buy it with a mortgage, but it will be very tight every month unless her salary can increase significantly in the future.
"Don't think too much, buy this house in full, I will pay."
Both 1,000-square-foot luxury houses are under Du Shaojie's name. He plans to give this small house to Wang Liwen, and her name must be written on the property certificate.
Wang Liwen didn't expect it at all. In fact, she has a strong personality and has never thought about such a thing.
"Shaojie, I can't take it. Unless this house belongs to the two of us."
Du Shaojie didn't care. He just didn't want the other party to live in a small "cage". Even if this house becomes a shared property, won't the other party live in it?
So he nodded, signed the contract, and paid the deposit.
The next day, the transfer was successful, and this house of less than 40 square meters became the common property of him and Wang Liwen.
"Sister Liwen, you can return the rented house later, and you can decorate the house as you like. I have no objection. Remember, buy whatever you need, and tell me if you don't have enough money."
Du Shaojie didn't have time to decorate the house with Wang Liwen. After finishing his business, he returned to Guangzhou.
Then he crossed the vast land from the south to the northwest again, returned to Xijiang, and prepared to take the chef level examination.
"Manager Du, the building of the medical school cafeteria has been built. According to your instructions, we have found professionals to inspect and accept it. There are no problems."
After several months of construction, the medical school cafeteria has changed a lot.
The original gate and wall of the courtyard have been torn down, and a five-story building stands on the street. The gate of the courtyard is on the east side. There is a small alley there, but there is no problem with cars entering and exiting.
The first and second floors are storefronts, which can be used to open a restaurant.
This is a complete large storefront. When it was decorated, it was constructed according to the requirements of the restaurant. The back kitchen, lobby, and private rooms upstairs are all available. Just add some equipment and you can open the business.
Du Shaojie didn't want to give this storefront to the second branch (Chunfengxiang Restaurant). The main business items of the second branch are breakfast, snacks and fast food, which are not suitable for such a business venue.
It's not bad to open a mid-range restaurant.
"Jianxin, what project do you think is good to choose if you use this storefront to open a restaurant?"
Yu Jianxin was responsible for the entire inspection work on behalf of Du Shaojie. The two had a good relationship, so Du Shaojie wanted to hear his opinion.
"Let's open a hot pot restaurant. I heard that Master Zhong changed the original store into a hot pot restaurant, and the business is very hot."
Yu Jianxin thought about it and put forward his own suggestion.
Hot pot restaurants are relatively low-key. First of all, you don't need a very good chef. As long as you can handle the hot pot base and ingredients, the taste will naturally be good.
Hot pot restaurants compete on non-technical things such as ingredients and services, so management must be in place.
"Well, it's a good choice. Let me think about it."
Du Shaojie didn't make a decision immediately. He first walked around upstairs and downstairs, and then went to the yard to take a look.
He was very satisfied with the layout of the five-story building. There was nothing to say about the quality of the project. Manager Ma was still reliable. The ground in the yard has been hardened, and a flower garden has been designed under the wall, but there are no flowers in this season.
"Jianxin, then notify them to prepare to move, and concentrate on the third, fourth and fifth floors in the future, so that work efficiency can be improved."
Du Shaojie gave an order. [Light Source Catering Service Company] will work on the third floor, the first branch will work on the fourth floor, and the second branch will work on the fifth floor.
His own office is on the third floor.
He doesn't care about the rest. Su Dapeng, Dong Jun, Yu Jianxin and others will arrange everything.
A few days later, Du Shaojie walked into the examination room for the "Special Level 2 Chef" level examination without any pressure, and seemed very confident.
This time the examination is very different from the previous ones. The practical examination no longer specifies dishes, but allows everyone to play freely. In other words, you can do what you are good at, and you will get extra points for creating your own dishes. Of
course, you need to report in advance what dishes to choose, otherwise it will be a joke if there are no ingredients on the day of the exam.
Du Shaojie chose [Open Screen Fish].
This dish is his own creation, which is very different from existing similar dishes. The [Open Screen Fish] he made is not hot, but it also requires high knife skills and plating skills.
In terms of seasoning, he borrowed from the famous dishes of Hunan and Sichuan cuisine, highlighting the characteristics of salty, spicy, fresh and juicy.
The production process is relatively cumbersome, requiring "three steamings", and the control of the heat is relatively strict.
The shape of the finished dish is grand and beautiful, and it looks like a work of art at first glance.
Du Shaojie completed the exam within the specified time, and the judges were amazed by this work.
"Based on the level of this dish, it is more than enough to take the level test for the special first-class chef. I give it a pass!"
"Exquisite skills, ingenious ideas, passed!"
"Passed!"
Without any suspense, Du Shaojie passed the practical exam with the highest score in the whole venue.
He scored a high score of 93 in the previous theoretical exam, so from this moment on, he is a veritable "special second-class chef".
At this level of exam, the number of candidates is much smaller, with less than 10 people in total, and 3 people passed this exam.
Du Shaojie got the transcript on the spot, and the official "special second-class chef" certificate will probably take about a month to get.
"Xiaojie, how did you do in the exam today?"
Wang Yuxiu asked symbolically when she returned home in the evening.
It's not that she doesn't care about her son, but Du Shaojie's performance over the years has brought her too many surprises.
As the threshold of surprise continues to increase, things like this seem to be insignificant.
"I passed the test."
Du Shaojie responded calmly. It was expected and there was nothing much to say.
At night,
he checked his gains.
