Chapter 415 Buying a House
The group followed Lin Chongping's footsteps to the main house.
There was also some messy garbage on the floor of the main house, and when I looked up, I saw that many tiles were broken and shifted.
We went to two rooms in succession, and the smell was too strong.
Lin Chongping simply opened the windows and doors to let the smell out of the house.
Next to the outer wall of the main house, there was a low shed with an earthen stove under it. The stove was filled with dead leaves and cobwebs.
As the group was observing the room, a middle-aged man with a loud voice came into the room.
"Xiao Lin, is this the buyer you introduced? Oh, looking at what the family of four are wearing, they look like a well-employed family."
Lin Chongping hurriedly introduced Chen Qing and others: "This is Uncle Zhang, and he is also the closest relative of this family."
Chen Qing and He Yuan greeted each other politely.
Lin Chongping also explained the identities of Chen Qing and He Yuan to Zhang Bo.
Zhang Bo smiled, "Little Chen and Little He, right? Look, this is a great location, quiet in a busy city, just two lanes away from the supply and marketing cooperative, with a well in the yard, very convenient. This big brick and tile house is also solid. If the Wang family hadn't left in a hurry to follow the army, how could it be empty until now? You are lucky, you picked up a great bargain!"
Chen Qing's heart trembled.
Here it comes.
Let’s talk about price.
The price the owner offered was 1,300 yuan. Chen Qing originally thought the price was acceptable, but after looking at the house carefully, he felt there was room for bargaining.
He Yuxiang was also on high alert.
Chen Qing also laughed and said, "Uncle Zhang, I dare not accept your words.
Let's take a look at the roof. How many tiles are broken? Whenever it rains, it rains heavily outside and lightly inside.
The walls also have problems. They fall apart when you touch them. There is a musty smell, and there is not a single piece of good glass in the windows. It takes a lot of effort for me to repair the house."
Uncle Zhang looked in the direction where her finger pointed and was touched on a painful spot.
But the final selling price of the house is closely related to him.
Naturally, he couldn't easily give up the right to raise the price.
Uncle Zhang raised his voice, "Comrade Chen, you are also a well-known person, you can't say that. Although this house is a bit old, the property rights are clear and there are no troubles. Do you know how difficult it is to find a small courtyard with a separate door and clear property rights? So many people are staring at it. If it weren't for your sincerity, I would not be willing to let you see it! This house, the location, the property rights, the foundation, which one is not valuable? The land fee, the brick and tile fee, the labor fee, etc., it cost a lot of money to build the house back then! Now I give it to you at a depreciated price, which is already a huge favor, and you are still picky!"
He was aggressive, as if saying, "If you don't buy it, I'll find someone else."
He Yuxiang flattened the corners of his mouth. Why didn't he include the favor money he spent on buying things? !
Chen Qing remained calm and unmoved: "Uncle Zhang, that's not how the account is calculated. You said that clear property rights are a benefit, and I agree with that.
But you also said that the house has been empty for three years with no one living in it and no one repairing it. How much damage has it suffered?
The wood is rotten, the walls are full of holes, and the roof is collapsed. When you built the house, it was easy as long as you had money. Now everything is restricted. I don’t know how much effort I have to spend to find connections to repair the house. I am afraid that this cost is no less than what you spent on building the house back then.”
He Yuxiang looked at his aunt and thought that she was very willing to say anything to bargain. Saying a few more words could save him some money, so it was a good deal!
Uncle Zhang thought about it carefully and realized that asking Chen Qing to buy wood, tiles, red bricks, glass and other things would indeed require favors.
So he asked coldly: "What is your ideal price?"
"Uncle Zhang, I really want to buy it, but you have to understand me. We are a couple with no one to rely on. It's not easy to save some money. I also know that we are both friends. How about one thousand and one?"
There was a brief, tense silence between the two sides.
The cold wind blew through the broken window, making a whistling sound.
Zhang Bo frowned and said, "It's too low."
"It will cost me at least two hundred dollars to repair the house, but I know it's hard for you to do it, so let's do it this way, one thousand one hundred and fifteen."
Chen Qing raised the price once more.
Zhang Bo saw that she was willing to raise the price and there seemed to be room for negotiation, so he said, "One thousand and two."
Chen Qing frowned: "We two need to discuss this carefully."
"Okay, you guys discuss it." Seeing Chen Qing's conflicted expression, Zhang Bo became less anxious and started chatting with Lin Chongping.
Chen Qing and He Yuan came to the corner and said, "As long as the price of this house does not exceed two thousand, we will make a profit if we buy it."
"Yeah." He Yuan also frowned and acted with her: "I met someone from a glass factory some time ago, I can wholesale some glass to you."
"That's good." Chen Qing replied, shaking his head.
Xiaoyu and He Yuxiang looked up at their insincere conversation and were slightly shocked.
Uncle Zhang saw that the couple kept talking with unhappy expressions, and he felt secretly satisfied in his heart.
Finally, Chen Qing didn’t succeed!
hey-hey.
He also heard that Chen Qing was eloquent, and now he seems to be okay!
The couple chatted for a long time before coming back. Chen Qing said to Zhang Bo with a stern face, "Let's each take a step back. One thousand one hundred and seven, what do you think?"
Zhang Bo sighed deeply, "Alas, Comrade Chen, this price is too low. Let's just consider it as a good relationship. But I have to make it clear in advance that the money must be paid in full in one lump sum!"
After the matter was sorted out, Lin Chongping completed his mission and went home. Zhang Bo, Chen Qing and others met at the Housing Authority.
Uncle Zhang transferred the house to Chen Qing, and Chen Qing also gave one thousand one hundred and seventy according to the rules.
After transferring the property to Chen Qing, Uncle Zhang left.
Chen Qing asked who wanted the two children?
Xiaoyu said as a matter of course: "To my brother."
Because her brother is older than her.
He Yuxiang made the decision: "Give it to my sister!"
My sister is a girl, and if she gets married in the future, having a house will give her confidence.
So Chen Qing transferred the property to Xiaoyu, and she told He Yuxiang: "I'll buy it for you next time I see a suitable one."
"Anything is fine."
He Yuxiang didn't force it. Their aunt was willing to buy them a house, which was more than 90% of parents.
But in fact, at present, except for leaders who have money but nowhere to spend it, no one else is willing to buy a house.
Since the government and the company will provide houses, you don’t need to worry about this at all.
After completing the transfer formalities, the group returned to the dilapidated courtyard.
He Yuan took out a notebook and calculated the materials he needed to buy, then asked Chen Qing: "Do you want to renovate the kitchen?"
Chen Qing gritted his teeth and said, "Repair!"
"That will cost about three hundred dollars, and we have to exchange various bills. Let's take out all the important bills we saved before and exchange them."
"OK."
Chen Qing spent fifteen hundred yuan in one go and felt a little distressed.
But then she thought again, this was only half a year's salary for her and He Yuan, so she didn't feel bad about it anymore.
The three rooms in the courtyard are all quite large.
The master bedroom has seven blocks and the two side bedrooms have six blocks.
I believe that at this price, someone will rent it.
After all, there is a well in this house.
The fact that there is no need to worry about water is better than the courtyard where she lives.
