Chapter 649 Bargaining (Page 1/2)
Under the respectful guidance of the housekeeper, Zhao Shirong, Huo Qingci and Lin Man walked slowly towards the main building together.
Not long after, they arrived at the Wang family's spacious and grand reception room.
As soon as he stepped into the living room, Zhao Shirong was deeply attracted by the layout of the house.
He couldn't help but widen his eyes, his face filled with shock that was difficult to conceal.
I saw a dazzling crystal chandelier hanging high above my head, and its bright light was scattered throughout the hall like stars.
Under your feet lies a mirror-clear marble floor with a texture as delicate as silk, as if a natural painting is unfolding before your eyes.
Look at the furniture that is placed just right - the burgundy European leather sofa, which is not only elegant in shape, but also soft and comfortable in texture, making people want to sit on it and feel it right away.
In the corner stands a huge Western clock. The exquisite carvings on the clock face are breathtaking, and every crisp time signal seems to be able to penetrate the barriers of time.
Lin Man, who was standing aside, was also extremely surprised, and thought to herself: How come this house has been preserved intact to this day when society has been in turmoil for the past ten years?
Could it be that some powerful force has been silently protecting the owner? No wonder the asking price is so high...
Just as she was lost in thought, a slight sound of footsteps came from not far away.
Everyone looked in the direction of the sound and saw a middle-aged man wearing gold-rimmed glasses carefully supporting an elderly man in his seventies as he slowly walked down the stairs from the second floor.
The bespectacled, refined man carefully helped his elderly father to sit down. Then, with a broad smile on his face, he warmly greeted the door and said, "Director Zhao, you're finally here. Please take a seat!"
At this time, Zhao Shirong hurriedly stepped forward and introduced Huo Qingci and Mrs. Huo beside him: "Dr. Huo, Mrs. Huo, this is the owner of the house we are going to visit today - Mr. Wang."
Then he turned to Mr. Wang and continued, "Mr. Wang, let me introduce you to these two buyers who have come all the way from the capital.
This handsome man is named Huo Qingci. He is the well-known deputy director of the cardiovascular department of our military hospital.
The elegant young lady standing beside him is his gentle and virtuous wife, Comrade Lin Man.
Upon hearing this, Huo Qingci and Lin Man greeted in unison, "Hello, Mr. Wang!" Their voices were clear, loud, and full of respect.
Mr. Wang smiled and put down his cane, his movements were a little slow but graceful, and then he responded amiably:
"Hello, both of you! Welcome to the Wang residence. If our hospitality is not good enough, please forgive us. Wenhua, quickly tell the servants to brew a pot of the best Longjing tea and bring it over."
"Okay, Dad!" Wang Wenhua responded and turned to leave. As he walked away, Zhao Shirong couldn't help but sigh:
"Mr. Wang, look at your mansion. You've kept it so neatly organized and it's in such pristine condition. I'm sure you've put a lot of thought and effort into it!"
Wang Guodong sighed heavily and said slowly: "One of the reasons why this house has been preserved so intact is that I generously donated a lot of money back then!
Not only that, I also offered these villas to the government free of charge for office use without hesitation."

Hearing this, Zhao Shirong couldn't help but admire Wang Guodong and praised him sincerely, "Mr. Wang, you are truly a man of courage and foresight!"
After a brief pause, he continued, "But at your advanced age, why do you still plan to bring your entire family to Hong Kong Island?"
Wang Guodong smiled slightly and explained, "To be honest, my brother is doing very well in Hong Kong Island and his career is flourishing.
He repeatedly urged me to sell our property here and move our family to Hong Kong Island for joint development. Although I am over 70, my sons are in their prime, and my grandchildren are full of energy. The future is full of endless possibilities!
Zhao Shirong nodded in understanding. He knew that Mr. Wang had four sons and two daughters.
Now he is going to take his children and grandchildren to Hong Kong Island to seek refuge with his brothers. So what should be done with his married daughters and their descendants?
This question has been lingering in Zhao Shirong's mind, making him quite curious.
"Mr. Wang, you left with your children and grandchildren, but where is your daughter?"
"They all have their own families, so it's impossible for them to leave with us. If the four Wenhua brothers develop well in Hong Kong City, they can call us and ask Wenxiu and Wenzhi to bring their families over to develop there. We'll go over there first to explore the way."
Lin Man wondered why Mr. Wang, since he still had a daughter staying in Hai City, didn’t he leave the house to his two daughters?
Wang Guodong seemed to see the confusion in Lin Man's eyes, and he explained with a smile: "Comrade Lin Man, you want to ask me why I don't leave the Wang Mansion to my daughter since I am taking my family south.
I'll tell you the truth! Most of the property left by my ancestors has been donated, and the rest was snatched away by those radical elements.
For the past ten years, our whole family was driven to live in the countryside, and they only returned the house to us last year.
I don’t know what will happen in the future. If I leave the house to my two daughters, it will definitely cause big trouble.
By then, both the Zhang and He families will want to fight for the property rights of this house, and we will have to spend money to go to Hong Kong City."
Lin Man and Huo Qingci understood that money could be a powerful asset. Mr. Wang was worried that his two daughters' in-laws would come and snatch the house away. It would be better to sell it directly. Besides, their family needed money to sneak across to Hong Kong Island.
Huo Qingci pondered for a moment and then said straight to the point, "Mr. Wang, do you think this house can be cheaper?"
Wang Guodong didn't celebrate his birthday. At this time, Wang Wenhua came over with the servants and a tray.
The servant gently placed the tray on the coffee table, bent down and brought cups of tea to the guests.
Wang Wenhua said, "Everyone, please have some tea! Aunt Liu, please go down first."
"Yes, sir!"
Lin Man thought that the people in Hai City were really particular. It was a different era, but they still called others "master" and were not afraid of being reported.
Wang Guodong took a sip of his teacup and then said to Wang Wenhua, "Wenhua, Dr. Huo thinks the house price is a bit high and wants to ask if we can offer a discount."
"If we weren't in a hurry to go abroad, we really wouldn't want to sell this house. This price is already very cheap. Dad, Dr. Huo said we should go a little lower. How about two thousand less? One hundred and eighty thousand, I'll give it to you and me too."
Huo Qingci smiled and began to bargain, "How about 168,000? I wish you all the best!"
