"Brother, how much is the house per square meter?"
After Du Chen's mother finished talking about Comrade Lao Du, she turned around and asked the intermediary boy.
"Sister, the one hundred and fifty is four hundred and forty-one square meters, and the one ninety square meters is five hundred and twenty-one square meters."
“How come such a large area is still so cheap?”
"Sister, large-area apartments are hard to sell. There aren't many small-area apartments left in this neighborhood. Most of them are in less-than-perfect locations. That said, there are still quite a few large-area apartments."
The agent answered honestly.
"Let's go and take a look first."
Comrade Lao Du suggested that nothing could be seen from the outside.
The agent led a few people to a building. The agent said that the building was composed of large houses. Only one or two houses had been sold so far, and the rest were still vacant.
Neither Lao Du nor Lao Ding liked the ground floor, so they went straight to the fourth floor, where there were two households on each floor, and both houses had an area of 150 square meters.
"Old Ding, look at this location, it's really good!"
Jia Xiaomin saw it right at first sight. After all, the money was there and the layout and lighting of the house were very good.
“Why are there so many rooms here?”
Old Ding turned around and asked curiously.
"Boss, the 150-square-meter house has three bedrooms, two living rooms, and two bathrooms."
"Two toilets? Why do we need two toilets? What a waste of space."
Lao Ding said in confusion. In fact, Lao Du and the others didn't understand either. Why have two toilets? It was such a waste. With that little space, it would be better to have a bigger room or a storage room.
"Uncle, it's like this in big cities now. The larger bathrooms can have a shower installed, and the washing machine is also placed in the bathroom."
"The smaller bathroom is used by guests or children, and there's no need to fight for the toilet in the morning."
Seeing that the agent didn't know how to answer, Du Chen explained to Lao Ding.
"Taking a bath at home? That's not as comfortable as taking a bath in a bathhouse. And the workplace bathhouse doesn't charge any money."
Old Ding listened to Du Chen's explanation and muttered softly, saying that people in the north always have a special liking for bathing pools. They feel that they cannot be clean without taking a bath, and the bath is in vain.
Comrade Lao Du listened and nodded in agreement.
"It's nice to take a shower in the summer!"
Jia Xiao understood after looking at Lao Ding, and she thought it was a good idea.
"By the way, what are the two halls? One is a living room, what about the other one?"
"Boss, the other one is the dining room."
When the intermediary heard Comrade Lao Du’s question, he answered immediately.
"Lao Du, look at how well-built houses are now. You can sleep in the right place, eat in the right place, and even watch TV in the living room!"
Du Chen's mother was very satisfied with the layout of the house. Now there is no living room where Du Chen and his family live, just a corridor with a washing machine. There is a dining table and TV in the big room. Everyone who comes stays in the big room. When there are too many people, they sit on the bed. They have to make one side of the bed every night before going to bed.
"Why don't you say the money is good? Four hundred and forty-one square meters, that's sixty-six thousand, it's really not cheap. That's how much did I buy my car for!"
The main reason is that Lao Du didn't expect to buy such a big house at first. He was just curious about how big a house of 150 yuan would be. He didn't expect to see the right one at first sight. Well, it's very good.
"Sister, what do you think?"
The intermediary asked Du Chen's mother and Jia Xiaomin.
“Very good, but a bit pricey!”
Du Chen's mother said to the other party, and Jia Xiaomin nodded in agreement.
"Sister, at first the developer wanted to sell it for 500, but it was hard to sell, so they lowered the price. Now to be honest, it's not expensive anymore."
The salesperson's words are lies. Du Chen curled his lips and refused to believe what the other party said.
"Young man, wait a minute, let us think about it."
"Xiao Min, what do you think?"
Du Chen's mother pulled Jia Xiaomin aside and asked quietly.
"Sister, I like it very much, but I don't have enough money."
Jia Xiaomin said a little embarrassedly.
"Don't worry about the money. If you really want to buy it, I have it. Just take it from me first!"
After saying that, without waiting for Jia Xiaomin to answer, Du Chen's mother turned around and greeted Lao Du and Lao Ding.
"Lao Du, Lao Ding, come over here, let's discuss this!"
"Lao Du, Lao Ding, Xiao Min and I think the house is nice. What do you think?"
When the two came over, Du Chen's mother asked them directly.
"I have no objection. You can see for yourself."
Lao Du replied nonchalantly, saying that he worked so hard to make money for his family, so he didn't care. His wife liked the house, and he liked it too, so he bought it. He also knew that his family had over a hundred thousand yuan, which was enough to buy a house.
When Lao Ding saw what Lao Du said, he shook his head to indicate that he had no objection. He couldn't afford to lose face in front of Lao Du. He also knew that his family had a savings of 40,000 to 50,000 yuan, and he could probably borrow the rest from relatives, so Lao Ding didn't feel any pressure.
"Okay, then let's talk to each other again!"
"Brother, both our families are very satisfied with this house and want to buy it, so please give me a fair price!"
The cram school is not open for nothing. Now Du Chen's mother speaks with a sense of authority.
When the real estate agent heard that both families wanted to buy, he was overjoyed. After all, the commission for two houses was quite a lot!
"Sister, how about this? I can help you get a loan. It's hard to get a personal loan these days! I have connections at the bank, so how about I help you get a loan?"
The intermediary guy asked Du Chen's mother tentatively, and Du Chen's eyes lit up when he heard it.
"It's not like I don't have to pay back the loan! There's still interest. I'm not going to do it! Just tell me how much cheaper it can be!"
Du Chen also guessed what his mother was going to say, so he pulled Lao Du and signaled Lao Du to talk aside.
Comrade Lao Du knew what Du Chen was thinking at once, so he pulled Lao Ding aside and they went to the next room together.
"Dad, I think the loan is good! We can get a loan from him!"
"Loans have to pay interest, and besides, our family is not short of money!"
Comrade Lao Du was wondering what was going on, but he immediately lost interest when he heard what Du Chen said.
"Dad, Uncle Ding, I just want to ask you, have your salaries increased every year in recent years?"
Du Chen's question was not unreasonable. Du Chen had the impression that wages had been rising every year in recent years, from more than 500 to 8,100, and then to 2,300. It didn't take a few years until 2,000 years later that wages stabilized at more than 5,000. Until more than ten or twenty years later, wages had not increased like they do now.
"Well, what does this have to do with anything?"
Comrade Lao Du still doesn't understand the relationship between the two.
"Dad, the loan repayment is still the same, but your salary has increased. Isn't this a steal?"
Even Lao Du couldn't understand the deep-seated issues Du Chen explained, so Du Chen explained it in the simplest terms! And if he could really get a loan, Du Chen was thinking about more than just a house!
