Neither side was willing to back down or give in.
There's no way around it; we have too many houses, and even a small step back results in a huge sum.
After finishing their discussions, the group went to look at available houses.
Because this developer has already demolished a section of this area and built quite a few buildings, there are now finished products here.
It just so happens that both Liu Yun and Qiao Ying requested to exchange entire buildings at a time, so we can just go and see for ourselves.
The apartment complex was in a pretty good location. Liu Yun didn't know much about these things, but she could tell from Yu's mother's satisfied expression.
The buildings are all ten stories high, with four units per floor. Most importantly, they all have one staircase and one elevator. There are units of 80 square meters and units of 150 square meters.
Liu Yun and Yu's mother both looked at a 150-square-meter apartment with three bedrooms, a living room, a bathroom, and a kitchen.
After reaching an agreement, they directly exchanged two buildings in the front row of the community, both 150 square meters each, with four units per floor, for a total of eighty units.
Qiao Ying didn't have as many houses as her, but she spent more money to buy an entire building. However, they chose a 100-square-meter unit, and like Liu Yun, they chose a front-row unit.
While negotiations are underway here, things aren't falling behind on Lin Lu's side either. They can also offer ready-built apartments there, but they have three options: take the money, or take the apartment.
However, there are two options for obtaining a house: you can choose a house in the city center or a house in the suburbs or rural areas.
In the city center, the ratio is 1 to 2, meaning one flat spot can be exchanged for two flat spots. However, in the suburbs, the ratio is 1 to 3, meaning one flat spot can be exchanged for three flat spots.
The two sides were still talking and pulling in different directions, and had not yet reached an agreement, so they decided to go and take a look at the house first.
The group has already looked at the house in the city center. The location is good, not far from the two buildings they had before. It's close by and easy to manage, so Yu Qianhe is quite satisfied. His father also thinks it's good.
But when she saw the location of the building in the suburbs, Yu's mother's eyes lit up, and she was so excited that her hands trembled a little. She quickly looked at Liu Yun.
“I think this place is pretty good. It’s not far from the city center. Who knows when it will open up to this area? And if we change to the third floor, we can exchange for two buildings.”
(…omitting ten thousand words here, all of Yu's mother’s lavish praise.)
Upon hearing what Yu's mother said, Liu Yun guessed that this place would definitely be opened up in the future, and judging from how excited Yu's mother was, it might even be demolished.
So Liu Yun immediately made a decision, "Let's change rooms, let's change to this one."
Yu Qian and his father were both surprised that Liu Yun had made such a hasty decision.
Mr. Yu wondered if Liu Yun was really his wife's long-lost daughter. But that didn't make sense! If she were a long-lost daughter, it should be his wife who treated Liu Yun well, not Liu Yun who acted like a tyrant, doing whatever his wife said.
This is no joke; that's over eighty houses! His wife just said one thing, and Liu Yun immediately switched them? Why not move from the city center to the suburbs?
Yu Qianhe inevitably thought of his wife's words that she preferred her mother-in-law; in her eyes, her mother-in-law was like a fairy.
As for how much his wife likes his mother, when she was buying a house in Xinshi, as long as his mother liked it or praised it, his wife would buy it directly. She didn't care about the location or the quality of the house; she would buy it as long as his mother liked it.
Later, he even gave the money directly to his mother and told her to decide what to buy—it was for a house, not a watermelon.
Now, just because of one sentence from his mother, his wife gave up a building in the city center and came to exchange it for a building in the suburbs.
Yu Qianhe wanted to try again, but seeing his wife's determined look, he gave up immediately.
Let her be! Anyway, the house is hers, so as long as she's happy.
And it wasn't just his wife who was happy; didn't you see that his mother was also overjoyed by his wife's decision?
He shouldn't be the one to spoil the fun.
After making the decision, there was another round of negotiations. The building here is also ten stories high, with four households per floor, one elevator, and one staircase.
Liu Yun and Yu's mother both chose 160-square-meter apartments, but they could exchange them for a little more than 83 apartments.
With Yu Qian and his mother's silver tongue, they successfully exchanged eighty-four sets.
This area is in the suburbs, where housing prices are cheap, and Liu Yun was willing to spend the money, taking a liking to all three buildings with 160-square-meter units.
We acquired the bottom seven floors of all three buildings, and after some back and forth, we finally secured the remaining thirty-six apartments for 90,000 yuan each.
Seeing her mother's excited expression, Liu Yun wanted to buy two more houses here. However, this was the suburbs, and by the time she bought three houses, she was already considered a sucker by others. If she bought two more, not only would others be suspicious, but even her family would be suspicious.
However, she shouldn't be too greedy; these three buildings are enough.
The contract has been signed, and the rest is just a matter of going through various procedures. The matter is almost settled, and more than half a month has passed.
Yu Qianhe had to go back to work, so he went back first. Anyway, things were almost done here, and he just needed to complete the last few formalities.
While waiting for her documents, Liu Yun didn't sit idle.
She's already reaping the benefits of buying a house, and coincidentally, her mother is here too.
The two embarked on another shopping spree, and Yu's father didn't say anything.
After all, if you buy it now and there's a demolition project in the future, you'll recoup your entire investment.
Liu Yun bought these houses for about 200,000 yuan back then.
How much did they get back? Two hundred thousand. They couldn't even buy half of those two buildings in the city center.
Moreover, if she were to exchange all her properties for those in the city center, she could get three different buildings.
Moreover, she has already collected a considerable amount of rent from these properties and shops over the years.
Since this area had already received a demolition notice, it was easy for Liu Yun to deal with these houses; she could simply return the rent.
