Li Daqing thought to himself, if that person really didn't want to, he would just have to sell it like that and suffer a loss. It was better than not being able to sell it and dragging his cousin down with him.
"Wait a little longer. If it really doesn't work, I'll go outside and talk to them."
Li Daqing suddenly said with concern.
"If you ask me, Brother Daqing, you shouldn't have interrupted just now. Six rooms are fine, it's just one shop, what's the difference between that and my life?"
As time ticked by, Li Ping'an couldn't help but complain.
Gu Nanxun and Lin Qing, who were in the courtyard, overheard Li Ping'an and Li Daqing's words. They had just thought they wouldn't get any advantage this time, but upon hearing this, they couldn't help but look at each other with joy in their eyes.
After a while, Gu Nanxun saw that it was almost time, so he and Lin Qing went into the room.
When Gu Nanxun and Lin Qing returned to the room, they saw that Li Ping'an and Li Daqing both looked anxious.
Li Ping'an kept rubbing his hands together, while Li Daqing kept glancing towards the door, as if expecting something.
"Well? Have you two reached a decision?"
Upon seeing Gu Nanxun and Lin Qing, Li Ping'an immediately asked impatiently.
Gu Nanxun cleared his throat upon hearing this: "Comrade Li, we've discussed it, and we have two options for you. One option is five shops for [amount] yuan, and the other option is still six shops, but I won't take advantage of you; I'll give you [amount] yuan."
"Comrade Gu, Comrade Lin, could you please offer more? Your price is really too low."
Li Daqing said upon hearing this.
Actually, Li Daqing didn't dare to haggle any further at this point, but he still tentatively said another sentence.
He thought, "I'll ask one more time! If it really doesn't work, then forget it."
“Clerk Li, you should know that the price I offered wasn’t low. You’re from the Housing Management Bureau, so you should know the approximate price of houses now. Besides, I’m buying six of your shops at once, so you should at least give me a discount. I only added 1,000 yuan because I like you guys, hoping to make friends. But if you really think it’s too low, you can wait a bit longer. After all, a sale requires mutual agreement.”
Gu Nanxun and Lin Qing had overheard the conversation between the two men outside. Gu Nanxun understood that if he insisted on selling the six shops for a few dollars, the two men would probably agree to the sale.
But Gu Nanxun and Lin Qing were still thinking about their other seven shops, so they added 1,000 yuan.
Upon hearing this, Li Ping'an hurriedly said, "Sell...sell...do as you say, six shops for a few dollars."
Li Ping'an was afraid that the two would change their minds and not buy it. Being able to get an extra 1,000 yuan was already a pleasant surprise. If Li Daqing hadn't spoken up quickly, he would have already agreed.
Gu Nanxun smiled slightly upon hearing this and asked, "Okay, then it's still from the 9th to the 14th. Shall we go and complete the formalities now?"
"Let's get it done now, let's go... let's get it done now!"
Upon hearing this, Li Ping'an immediately spoke up.
Hearing this, Li Daqing breathed a sigh of relief. Well, he figured he might as well suffer a little loss. Everyone was waiting to be allocated a house, and it was really not easy to find a suitable buyer, especially since the other party was buying so many at once.
After they finished speaking, they got up and went outside.
"Ping An! You're not waiting for your dad anymore..."
Seeing that the group was about to leave, the woman said with a nervous expression.
"Why wait for my dad! It's not like I can't carry the money."
Li Pingan said impatiently.
"Then Mom will go with you!" the woman said, still worried.
"Are you done? What are you going to do? Just stay home and wait!" Li Ping'an waved his hand impatiently, then said to Gu Nanxun and Lin Qing, "Comrade Gu, Comrade Lin, let's go!"
The group left the courtyard together. When Li Ping'an saw Gu Nanxun's car, he felt even more relieved. It seemed that the two of them were indeed not short of money.
"Comrade Gu, Comrade Lin, why are you buying so many shops? Business is not allowed now."
After everyone got into the car, Li Daqing curiously probed Gu Nanxun and Lin Qing.
“This shop can no longer be used for business, but it can be used for living! I bought it because it’s close to the state-run restaurant and department store.”
Lin Qing explained with a smile.
"But you bought way too much!"
Li Daqing still asked, puzzled.
These two are really rich and powerful, buying so many shops at once. Could there be some information they don't know about? And even if they were living there themselves, they probably wouldn't need so many houses!
"Brother Daqing, why do you care why people buy so many houses!"
Hearing Li Daqing's persistent questioning, Li Ping'an quickly interrupted. What if these two listened to Brother Daqing and thought it made sense, and then decided not to buy it? He rarely encountered two "foolish and rich" people, and he couldn't let Brother Daqing ruin it.
Upon hearing this, Li Daqing smiled bitterly and didn't ask any further questions. Lin Qing and Gu Nanxun exchanged glances and didn't continue the topic.
…………
The four of them quickly arrived at the housing management office, and with all the paperwork in order, Gu Nanxun and Lin Qing successfully obtained the property deed for the shop.
"Comrade Li, here's a coin, count it."
Seeing that all the formalities were completed, Lin Qing took out a wad of cash from her bag, counted out a few dollars, handed them to Li Ping'an, and said with a smile.
"Ptooey, ptooey..."
Li Ping'an happily accepted the money, then spat twice on his fingers and began counting the bills one by one.
"Exactly one yuan."
Li Pingan counted the money three times in a row before confirming that there was no problem with the amount. Only then did he happily say to Lin Qing and Gu Nanxun.
"Okay, then our transaction is complete. If you want to sell another house in the future, you can still contact us."
Seeing that the deal was done, Lin Qing said happily.
"What, you still want to buy more?"
Upon hearing this, Li Ping'an immediately spoke excitedly.
"Yes, I'll buy it for my family!"
Lin Qing nodded and said.
"Okay, if I sell it again in the future, I'll come to you. But where will I find you?"
Li Pingan nodded happily, then asked.
"The shop is right there! If we're not here, just write a note and throw it in the house. We'll come looking for you when we see it."
Lin Qing pointed in the direction of Huai'an Street and said with a smile.
"Okay, I got it!"
Li Pingan said excitedly.
While Li Ping'an was counting the money, Li Dafu also returned home.
"Dafu! Ping'an went to sell houses."
