Chapter 91 Chapter 91 Meet the parents?
Pudong in Shanghai has not yet developed, and Puxi is undoubtedly the center of Shanghai. After Lin Anran moved into the area of old houses, she walked around the area with great interest, mainly to see the beautiful old houses, and then to see who was going to sell their houses. She had already rubbed her hands and was ready to buy a house, as she had money in her card, hehe.
During the day she wandered around, and in the evening after Zhou Heyuan got off work, he would take her to authentic Shanghai restaurants, which made Lin Anran very happy. When Zhou Heyuan had free time during the day, the two of them would also go to Shanghai's tourist attractions. However, many of Shanghai's future famous attractions had not yet been built, but Shanghai was a city with a long history, so there was no need to worry about having no places to go. For example, the Bund. Although the Bund History Memorial Hall had not yet been completed, it did not affect Lin Anran's visit to the beauty of the foreign concessions.
That day, Lin Anran received news that the owner of an old villa was planning to sell the house and go abroad. She immediately looked happy, clapped her hands, and jumped up from the sofa. Isn't this a pillow that was delivered to her just when she was sleepy?
Lin Anran rushed to the old villa that was to be sold. Unfortunately, she was not the only one who got the news. Besides her, there were three other people. These three people who were interested in buying the old villa were also very interesting. They were tall, short, and fat, each with one of the characteristics. Their characteristics were too distinct, but judging from their clothes, these three were all wealthy people.
Lin Anran's arrival also attracted the attention of others, but she looked back at them frankly: "Hello, Mr. Fang, I contacted you not long ago. My last name is Lin."
The homeowner, Mr. Fang, was surprised for a moment when he saw Lin Anran, then he came back to his senses and nodded: "Ms. Lin, welcome. You are all interested in buying my house, so it's a good opportunity for you to come and see it together." He said this to the four of them together.
The tall, short, and fat man were originally looking at Lin Anran with caution, but when they saw that she was a great beauty, their expressions immediately changed. The three of them smiled like flowers. The fat man patted his big belly from eating too much and moved closer to Lin Anran: "Hello, hello, Miss Lin, I'm here to see the house too."
Lin Anran felt like laughing when she saw the fat man deliberately showing off his big belly. The fact that he could eat so much to get such a big belly proved that his family was not short of money. Although everyone can basically have enough to eat and eat now, not everyone can eat so much to get a big belly. The fat man's behavior and expression were not out of the ordinary. Although he wanted to talk to her, he was not annoying, so she nodded to him politely.
The owner, Mr. Fang, took them in to visit the house and talked about the old villa. This old villa was a house passed down from Mr. Fang's ancestors. It was taken away a few years ago and converted into a government office unit, so it was still well preserved. Later, the house was returned to Mr. Fang's family. After taking back the house, Mr. Fang's family renovated it according to its original appearance. Mr. Fang's family has lived here for more than ten years, but now Mr. Fang's children are all staying abroad to develop and have no plans to return to China in the future. That's why Mr. Fang sold the house and went abroad to reunite with his children.
Mr. Fang mentioned the price of the old house, and then said, "I will only sell it if you pay in full."
"One million?! That's too expensive!" The tall man hissed when he heard the price and jumped as if he was scalded by boiling water.
The short man also said dissatisfiedly: "This old house is big, but it has been built for so many years, it is very old. If I buy it and renovate it, it will cost me hundreds of thousands of yuan. I can buy a piece of land and build a house for less than a million yuan. If I have a million yuan, I might as well buy a villa in a newly opened real estate development. The villa is brand new."
The fat man's big belly trembled: "It's really expensive."
Mr. Fang coughed. "You better think carefully. Not many owners are willing to sell their old houses. I know you're thinking there will definitely be others who will sell their houses in the future, but how long can you wait? My old house has a history. When it was built, all the materials were good. After the renovation, it's like new. Houses need to be maintained. And it's in a good location. It's in the center of the city. There's a commercial street, a hospital, a public security bureau, a park... All kinds of supporting facilities are available. It's safe and convenient for life. And there are a lot of big bosses here, so it's easy to make connections."
The tall and the short man were gradually persuaded. Lin Anran showed nothing on her face. She was satisfied with the old house. As for the price, she could accept it. It had to be said that the location of the old house was really good, the property rights were clear, and it would definitely be worth over 100 million yuan in the future. However, she was not in a hurry. It was easy for her to buy a house if she had money. She didn't have to buy Mr. Fang's old house. It wasn't her only chance.
"Aren't you planning to buy this old house?" The fat man asked Lin Anran curiously when he saw that she didn't reveal any of her thoughts.
Lin Anran asked back: "I don't think you have any intention of buying this house."
The fat man waved his hand and said, "I'm just looking at houses on behalf of my dad. I prefer to buy a villa in the villa area. This house is old and really expensive. My dad will definitely not buy it."
One million is indeed not a sum that can be taken out casually. Nowadays, people buy houses to live in, not for investment. There are indeed not many people who can afford this old villa.
The tall man and the short man wanted to buy the old villa, but unfortunately they failed to reach an agreement with the owner, Mr. Fang. In the end, the two left one after another. It was obvious that Mr. Fang was unwilling to lower the price and he insisted on selling it for one million.
The fat man also went up to Mr. Fang to negotiate the price, then said he had to go back to report to his family, and left happily with his big belly.
The homeowner, Mr. Fang, looked at Lin Anran, the last person interested in buying the house, and said through gritted teeth, "Ms. Lin, one million is my price for anyone. If you agree, I can go with you to the Housing Management Office to transfer the ownership today."
Lin Anran hummed: "One million, the location of the old villa is really good." It only took her five minutes to walk from Zhou Heyuan's old villa to here. The distance was very close.
Mr. Fang's eyes lit up. "Ms. Lin, how about I take you to see the house? Although I want to sell this house for one million, I can sell all the furniture in it together. The furniture we used to make was all made of good wood. If I sell all the furniture in the house, it can get at least ten thousand yuan."
Lin Anran tapped the table with her fingers. It was indeed good wood. She asked casually, "Mr. Fang, did your whole family go abroad together? Don't you plan to come back in the future? I see your family is well off. You can live well abroad without selling the house. If you want to visit China in the future, you can keep this house and have a place to stay."
She wanted to buy an old house, but she had to make sure it wasn't in any trouble, so she had to ask first.
Mr. Fang was stunned when he heard this. He sighed slightly and said, "At my age, I don't know when I can come back if I go abroad. My children have all started their own families and careers abroad. I haven't thought about coming back. It's pretty good abroad."
Lin Anran raised the corners of his mouth and smiled. It is true that the domestic situation cannot be compared with that of foreign countries. The salary alone has created a huge gap. It is all a personal choice.
Seeing that Lin Anran was really interested in buying the old villa and seemed to be able to pay the full amount, Mr. Fang finally took the initiative to reduce the price by 50,000 and sold the old villa to Lin Anran.
Lin Anran successfully bought this old villa which was only a five-minute walk from Zhou Heyuan's house. Although her credit card balance suddenly shrank, she spent the money happily, hahaha.
After buying the old villa, Lin Anran did not carry out major renovations. Instead, he took old photos of the old villa from Mr. Fang and planned to maintain it according to its original appearance so that it would retain its original flavor.
"When the house is renovated, I will invite you to stay at my house." After Zhou Heyuan came back, Lin Anran took people to visit her new house and said to him very generously, "It's only natural to reciprocate."
Zhou Heyuan immediately asked, "When will the house be renovated?"
Lin Anran chuckled and hugged him, hahaha: "You think too early, by the time the house is renovated, we will have returned to Shenzhen, and I can't move in. You, just wait."
Zhou Heyuan pondered: "Pay more money to hire someone?"
Lin Anran was stunned. Looking at his serious face, she wanted to laugh again, but she had to remind him: "Although they use environmentally friendly materials, it's better not to live in the newly renovated house."
Zhou Heyuan could only give up with regret: "When will we come to Shanghai next time?"
"You must have come here for work. As for me, I don't know for the time being." Lin Anran thought about her plan. After returning to Shenzhen, she should stay there before school starts. She doesn't have to worry about someone watching over the old villa in Shanghai. She doesn't have to come here to buy stocks in Shanghai. She can just make a phone call and ask someone to help her buy them.
When his first plan failed, Zhou Heyuan came up with another one: "There are a few nice courtyard houses in Beijing. If you want to buy one, you should see them for yourself. Do you want to go to Beijing from Shanghai? If you don't go to Beijing now, why not wait until school starts to look at them?"
Lin Anran's mind moved: "How about going to Jing City to see the Siheyuan? But what's your job?"
Zhou Heyuan raised his eyebrows and smiled: "I also have work in Beijing, so it didn't disrupt my schedule."
Lin Anran made a quick decision: "Then let's go to Beijing."
Lin Anran asked Zhang Yan to help her and Zhou Heyuan take a photo in front of the old villa. This time, in addition to being a bodyguard, Zhang Yan also worked part-time as a photographer and took many photos for Lin Anran.
After arriving in Beijing, Zhang Yan continued this part-time job, and Lin Anran took many beautiful photos.
It is easier to buy a siheyuan in Beijing. After all, this is Zhou Heyuan's hometown. The siheyuan that Lin Anran bought has a larger area and a better location than the old villa he bought in Shanghai. It is very close to the imperial city, but the price is cheaper. People in Beijing don't like to live in siheyuans, they like to live in buildings. After all, living in a siheyuan is indeed not more comfortable than living in a building. The decoration of a siheyuan is a big project. If you want to live comfortably in a siheyuan, various renovations are necessary, especially the heating must be improved.
After finalizing the decoration plan, Lin Anran handed the courtyard house over to the decoration team. Since Zhou Heyuan had introduced them to her, she was completely relieved.
After Guo Shuyan and Qian Jiaming knew that Lin Anran came to Beijing, they insisted on treating her to a meal, saying that they wanted to show their hospitality.
Lin Anran thought that since she was already here, she might as well contact Zhou Yunxue. Zhou Yunxue was very surprised to know that she came to Beijing City, and said that she must come to see her. She also booked the meal. Hearing her so happy, Lin Anran also smiled happily.
Zhou Yunxue was picked up from school by Qian Jiaming. As soon as she arrived at the restaurant, she saw Lin Anran and rushed over to hug her: "Sister Anran, I'm so happy to see you!"
Lin Anran smiled and patted her: "Me too, you look so energetic, are you having a wonderful college life?"
"Yes, it's great to go to college. I have made a lot of friends." Zhou Yunxue's face was full of smiles, without any gloom.
"He Yuan? Yun Xue?"
Zhou Yunxue turned around: "Grandpa and grandma? Why are you here?"
Lin Anran: "..." Was she caught off guard by meeting his parents?
