Chapter 027 If You Want to Sell, I Will Buy
"You still want to buy a house?" Cao Dafa's eyes lit up.
Bai Zhenzhu nodded: "If you want to sell, I will buy it."
Cao Dafa immediately said, "If you buy the house together, I'll give you a cheaper price."
After saying that, he stopped doing business, closed the door, and took Bai Zhenzhu and her group back home.
His home is in the community behind the market. It is the staff housing building of the vermicelli factory. It has five floors in total, and the Cao family lives on the third floor. Cao Dafa and his wife were both workers at a vermicelli factory and are now retired.
Cao Dafa has two sons. The elder son runs a big restaurant in Chengdu, and the younger son is studying at a university in Beijing and is about to graduate.
The old couple planned to sell their house in Yuan County and use the money to buy a house in Beijing for their younger son. Their eldest son had already arranged accommodation for them in Chengdu and had been urging them to move there as soon as possible.
"Come in and take a look. My house has two bedrooms and a living room. The area according to the property title is about 60 square meters. If you want to buy it, all the furniture will be left to you."
Cao Dafa opened all the doors and generously let Bai Zhenzhu and others see.
These family buildings are all made of red bricks, with cement floors and walls painted with white lime. They are much better than the adobe houses in rural areas.
White Pearl is very satisfied:
"Uncle Cao, I'll buy this house and the storefront below as long as the price is right. Just name your price."
Cao Dafa was a little hesitant when he saw how young Bai Zhenzhu was:
"Do you really want to buy it? Why don't you discuss it with your family? Buying a house is a big deal, and I need cash."
White Pearl smiled and said:
"I really want to buy it. As long as the price is right, I can pay the deposit now and transfer the ownership tomorrow."
Cao Dafa hesitated for a moment:
"Little girl, if you are sincere in buying it, you can give me 18,000 for this house and the shop below."
The price is indeed not exaggerating, but it is still expensive, about 300 per square meter.
Bai Zhenzhu: "Uncle Cao, to be honest, I just bought a storefront in the market a few days ago to open a restaurant. The store is two stories high, and the sum of the two is bigger than yours. Let me make you an offer, I'll give you 15,000."
"Fifteen thousand?" Cao Dafa glared, "That's too little. It's obvious that your daughter is not sincere in buying it."
White Pearl is still good-tempered:
"Uncle Cao, your house is old. I know that new houses on Huayang Road are only over 400 yuan per square meter. You know in your heart that the price I offered is really sincere, and it is also for Sister Xia He's sake."
Seeing that Cao Dafa was still sullen, Bai Zhenzhu stood up:
"Uncle Cao, please discuss this with the ladies in the house. There aren't many people like me who can spend so much money to buy a house at once. I will buy your house and shop all at once, so you can pack up and go to Rongcheng to reunite with your eldest son."
Xia He was getting anxious beside her:
"Uncle, what Zhenzhu said is right. The news of your house sale has been out for several days. Many people have asked about it, but no one really wants to buy it. And those people can't buy both the house and the shop at once. They either buy only the house or only the shop. Zhenzhu bought them all at once. I can even get a discount when I sell a set of clothes. You can't give me a discount when buying the house, right?"
Cao Dafa thought about how his eldest son had urged him last night. He was very busy with his business, his daughter-in-law was about to give birth and needed someone to take care of her, and his eldest grandson also needed someone to take him to school. They were really anxious to sell the house.
In fact, if the shop really wanted to be sold before, it would have been sold long ago because there were many people interested in it.
But they thought that the shop was easier to sell than the house, so they were not in a hurry to sell the shop and could still sell buns for a few more days.
Many new real estate projects have been opened in Yuan County. The rich have all gone to buy new houses, while the poor really have no money. Not only can they not afford the prices, they also cannot pay the full price of the house in one go.
White pearls are still the first house and shop to want them, but at this price...
"Girl, add some more."
Bai Zhenzhu shook her head: "Uncle Cao, I really can't add more. Wait for Auntie to come back and discuss it. I live in the market, next to the Fuxiang Restaurant."
Just as she was about to leave, a woman with curly hair walked in and glanced shrewdly at Bai Zhenzhu and the others:
“You are…”
Xia He was a quick talker, and she spoke quickly:
"...Aunt, look at how hesitant my uncle is. You still have to make the decision for this family."
Aunt Xia He did not discuss it with Cao Dafa, but directly said to Bai Zhenzhu:
"Little girl, here, no matter how much, just add some more."
Bai Zhenzhu thought for a moment and said, "Auntie, I can only add 600 at most."
Aunt Xia He clapped her hands:
"Six hundred is six hundred, and there's no need for a deposit. We'll go directly to the Housing Management Office at ten o'clock tomorrow to sign the contract and transfer the ownership."
White Pearl: "Okay."
Aunt Xia He breathed a sigh of relief:
"I can finally go to Rongcheng to see my grandson and daughter-in-law. Xia He, your aunt won't keep you for dinner. I'll start packing now. You and your parents can come to my house for lunch tomorrow at noon."
Bai Zhenzhu and the others didn't bother her anymore.
After coming out of Cao's house, Xia He looked Bai Zhenzhu up and down:
"I didn't realize, girl, that you're a rich woman."
Bai Zhenzhu told her the whole story:
"Sister Xia, if there is anyone else selling a shop in the market, please inform me and I will buy it."
"Still buying?" Xia He looked at Bai Zhenzhu with a strange look in her eyes.
She had heard that some women these days rely on their beauty to be kept by rich old men, but Bai Zhenzhu would not...
Seeing that she had misunderstood, Bai Zhenzhu quickly explained:
"Don't look at me like that, my money is clean."
Bai Jingsi and Zhang Minmin knew that she didn't want to mention Pei Xiangyang in front of the child, so they took Shuo Shuo and left first.
Bai Zhenzhu then continued:
"My husband went to Shanghai to work and met a rich woman. In order to force me to divorce, they gave me some money."
Xia He's tense expression looked better now:
"You scared me. I thought you... But your man is such a jerk. He abandoned a beauty like you. What a blind man."
When Pei Xiangyang is mentioned now, Bai Zhenzhu feels nothing at all.
She wanted to buy a house quickly before the news of demolition came out and turn all her money into a house.
"Sister Xia, don't you want me to sell clothes with you? If anyone's clothing store is for sale, please tell me."
Xia He's face was full of surprise:
"That's great. You don't know that the autumn outfit your sister-in-law bought for you and the ones you tried on are almost all sold out. I have to call Yangcheng and ask them to stock me up."
White Pearl Same Style Surprise:
"You can get the goods without going to Yangcheng?"
Xia He puffed out her chest and said proudly:
"That's right. I spent several years building up connections for purchasing goods in Guangzhou. I found a godmother there who does wholesale business. My godmother ships the goods directly to me. My godmother ships me whatever is popular in Hong Kong and Guangzhou."
Bai Zhenzhu was overjoyed. What kind of luck was this?
Xia He is a good partner that has come to your doorstep. If you don't embrace her now, when will you do so?
"Sister Xia, as long as I buy a storefront, I will definitely start a clothing business with you."
Xia He was suddenly extremely happy.
The quality and styles of the clothes in her store are impeccable, but because they are expensive and she doesn't know how to match them, she has never been able to sell them at a good price.
If Bai Zhenzhu was willing to teach her how to match the items, she wouldn't mind sharing her sources with her.
