"Master?"
Uncle Lin thought that the Third Master had an extraordinary demeanor and seemed like someone who could make decisions.
Hearing him respectfully address Lan Guoer as "head of the family", his eyes slightly opened and he couldn't help but look at Lan Guoer again.
"You really have the final say?"
After a while, he asked.
Lan Guoer couldn't help but look at herself. Didn't she look like she had no control over her own affairs?
"If you're worried, why not just give me a price? Just like my uncle said, if the price is reasonable, we won't even look inside. We'll just go and handle the transfer procedures right away!"
Upon hearing this, Uncle Lin shrank back and looked at Yu Lei beside him, his eyes full of surprise!
"Hey, Old Yu, your niece is quite arrogant! Have you told her the asking price for my house?"
When Yu Lei came to ask before, Uncle Lin quoted her a price. Because he was not sure whether Lan Guoer wanted to buy it at that time, Yu Lei did not bargain with him.
However, deep down, she did not agree with the price offered by Uncle Lin!
Thirty thousand yuan, that’s not a small amount!
Even with my family's conditions, it would take more than ten or twenty years of not eating or drinking to get enough money!
It’s understandable that Mr. Lin wants to sell it at a high price, but there has to be someone who can afford it!
"Uncle Lin, you quoted me a price, yes, but there's no such thing as a fixed price. Especially for such a big deal!" Yu Lei said.
"I wanted to wait until my niece saw the house before you discussed it face to face, so I didn't tell her!
"Now that my niece has said this and is sincere about buying it, just give her a real price! Forget about the price you quoted before. There aren't many people in the entire Hai City who can come up with that much money at once! Don't you agree?"
Yu Lei saw that Lan Guoer liked the house and started to bargain with Uncle Lin.
"Humph!" Uncle Lin said nonchalantly, "If I can't sell it at that price, then I won't sell it! It's just as well that my old bones can still live in it for a few more days!"
As he said this, Uncle Lin turned around and looked at the small western-style building in front of him, with a hint of reluctance in his eyes.
"This house carries half a lifetime of memories for me! In my heart, it's worth far more than the price! If you think the price is too high, you can go back! I won't sell it to you anymore!"
"Uncle Lin, please don't be so anxious! May I ask your asking price?"
Seeing Uncle Lin getting ready to leave, Lan Guoer hurriedly asked.
In this day and age, she didn't think that Uncle Lin could ask for a price so high that even she, who came from the future, couldn't afford it!
Uncle Lin then slowly turned his head and said, "30,000 yuan, not a cent less!"
Lan Guoer breathed a sigh of relief!
She thought to herself, let alone 30,000 yuan, even if it was 300,000 yuan, she would get it in minutes!
Considering the area and the size of the house, it's definitely a huge leak! The price in the future will be at least ten figures.
"Deal!" Lan Guoer replied readily.
"I can't stay in Hai City for many days, so it's fate that I came across this house! I won't go inside for now! If it's okay with Uncle Lin, can we go and handle the transfer procedures now?"
Seeing that Uncle Lin seemed to be a principled person, Lan Guoer was not afraid that he would go back on his word, so she asked for a huge sum of money again.
Such a rare opportunity, in order to avoid any further complications, she just wanted to transfer the house to her own name as soon as possible and put the money in her pocket!
After hearing Lan Guoer's decision, Yu Lei felt that the money was somewhat unfairly spent, but she didn't say much!
Not to mention Lan Guoer's ability to make money, her surname "Lan" alone is enough to buy this house!
You can tell this just by looking at the expressions of the Third Master and the Fifth Master!
This calm look made it seem as if Lan Guoer had just bought a lollipop and there was not a single ripple in her heart.
But the words "Deal!" made Uncle Lin stunned for a long time!
He never expected that the little girl would so easily agree to such a large sum of money!
"Are you sure you want to buy it? Don't you need to go back and discuss it with your family?" In case Lan Guoer changed her mind, he asked again.
"No need!" Lan Guoer said affirmatively, "As long as the paperwork for this house is complete, you can get the money on the spot after completing the formalities!"
In order to grab the bargain, Lan Guoer made sufficient preparations before coming. Both suitcases were stuffed full, it was all about unity!
"It's a deal then! I'll go in and get the documents now, and when I come out we'll go through the formalities!"
The news that Uncle Lin was going to sell his house had been around for a long time.
Many people were interested in the house, but none of them could accept the price! And because he was so stubborn about the price, the negotiation has dragged on until now.
It's rare to meet someone so rich and straightforward, and he was worried that Lan Guoer would go back on her word!
"Uncle San, when Uncle Lin comes out later, let Ming go with him to the Housing Management Office!"
Lan Guoer thought of the female official from the Housing Management Office and worried that she would make things difficult for him again, so she reminded him, "Tell him to find someone else to handle it, and it's best not to alarm that woman!"
She remembered that in the service hall, besides the female clerk, there was another male clerk.
The Third Master nodded and pulled Su Kun, "Let's go! Drive and find someone!"
Fortunately, A Ming and others were nearby. When Uncle Lin came out with the real estate information, Uncle San and A Ming and others also rushed back.
A Ming has always been the confidant of the Third Master. After a few words, he understood what the Third Master meant and went to the Housing Management Office with the money and Uncle Lin.
The procedures went quite smoothly this time!
In less than an hour, Lan Guoer got the freshly issued house ownership certificate.
Because when Uncle Lin gave Yu Lei the quote, he had told her that he would not take any of the furniture in the house away and would leave it all to the next owner.
Uncle Lin didn't have much stuff with him, so he packed a suitcase and moved to his son's house with some money.
Lan Guoer can finally look around the courtyard as she pleases!
She first walked around the front and back yards.
The backyard is much larger than the front yard, about the size of two football fields. It looks like something was planted there before, but now it is deserted.
However, this didn't matter to Lan Guo'er! As long as the place was big enough, she could arrange it however she wanted or plant something in a matter of minutes!
Coming back from the backyard, she walked towards the small Western-style building in the center of the courtyard.
The exterior design of this house combines Chinese and Western architectural elements, which is quite common in the old houses in Hai City. It retains the elegance and solemnity of Chinese architecture, and incorporates the sophistication and romance of Western architecture.
To her surprise, the interior decoration was mainly in the Chinese style she liked.
The spacious three-story living room is decorated with wooden carved window lattices and a mahogany spiral staircase winds its way upwards. The living room is furnished with mahogany furniture. Although there are some signs of wear and bumps on all of them, the exquisite carvings cannot be concealed!
They all look like they were made by famous craftsmen.
