Chapter 485 Lack of Money
When they arrived at the place, it was completely dark.
The house was halfway up the mountain. The agent parked the car at the gate and showed his ID to the villa security before he was allowed to enter.
The security guard opened the door, the agent parked the car on the outdoor parking lot, and began to introduce Xia Zhizhi.
Actually, there is nothing much to introduce. The house is really nice. As soon as Xia Zhizhi stood here, she knew that this was her house.
The house is backed by a mountain, with a broad view of the sea ahead and the beach of Repulse Bay at the foot of the mountain. In terms of Feng Shui, this is a good place to store wind and gather energy.
The building area is nearly 800 square meters, and including the surrounding land, the total area is nearly 1,800 square meters.
The house had been cleared out, of course, referring to some gold, silver and small items. The furniture and other things remained intact. The interior decoration and facilities were intact, and the garden outside was also well maintained.
The whole house has a good view. Most rooms have windows. When you open the windows, you can see the open sea view or the view of half mountain and half sea.
Xia Zhizhi was now in front of a bedroom on the second floor, leaning on the windowsill with both hands, looking at the sea below which was slightly dark due to the sky, and asked with satisfaction, "How much does the owner of this house want?"
The agent said: "The owner is offering 1.2 million, and the lowest counter-offer is 1.08 million. Last time, a customer offered 1 million for the house he liked, but he didn't agree. But we can make an appointment and see, maybe he will change his mind."
Don’t think that 1.08 million may not seem like a lot.
Let me put it this way, there is a house next to Xia Zhizhi, which is considered to be a first-class good house in this area. The facilities are basically similar to hers, and the house is about 200 square meters larger than this one. It was sold the year before last for 980,000 yuan.
Even though house prices have increased a bit in the past two years, they have not increased this much.
To be honest, the house is really nice, but the price he asked for is a bit high.
Except for big dog owners like Xia Zhizhi, no one else would be willing to spend nearly 1/10 of the money in vain.
Even though Xia Zhizhi spends money without blinking an eye, she withdrew 300,000 yuan the first time she entered the casino.
It seems that the 300,000 was compensated to him by the dealer, but in fact most of it was contributed by other unlucky people at the table. The dealer did lose some money, but not that much.
She herself was wearing a lot of jewels and her entire outfit was worth a lot of money. She exchanged 100,000 chips in one go, which was three times the amount in the casino. Everyone could only praise her for her good luck.
Hong Kong is very friendly to wealthy people.
If it is an ordinary person, dressed poorly, and wins 300,000 yuan with 300 yuan chips, try it.
Those thugs can peel off the skin of a person.
Xia Zhizhi nodded to the agent: "That's it. Go make an appointment with the owner. When you're done, call me."
The agent happily agreed and sent Xia Zhizhi and her group back to the hotel.
In their line of business, they don’t open for three years, but make a profit for three years after opening. They are not afraid of failing to reach an agreement after making an appointment. After all, how can they close the deal if the client doesn’t make an appointment? As long as they make an appointment, there is a chance.
After Xia Zhizhi returned home, she counted the money she had on her hand by counting on her fingers.
She did save some money during this period, but she had to buy a factory, build a factory, and buy a villa. She also wanted to buy a car. Without a car, it would be inconvenient to travel.
After this budget calculation, the expenses were quite high. She counted the savings in her own space and felt a little stretched.
For the money for building the factory, you can give a deposit first and then pay the balance later.
But these days are different from the past. She has to give a big head and leave a small head.
If you are really short of money, you can give it in installments.
But it can't be too different. At most, I can keep the workers' wages as the balance. After all, they have no money, so what can they use to buy materials for her?
The casino has been ripped off by her during this period. Although she is inconspicuous every time she goes there and wins hundreds of thousands or even hundreds of thousands, no one is a fool. Even if no one thinks she is cheating, her luck is too good and people don't like to play with her anymore.
Besides, the amount of money she was short of was quite a lot. Unless she set up a scheme to cheat someone out of a huge sum, or simply cheated the casino out of a large sum, it would be difficult to make up the money in a short time.
But such words were a bit too eye-catching, and she felt they were inappropriate.
Fortunately, there are more solutions than problems.
Xia Zhizhi picked out a bunch of diamonds and gems of extremely high quality from the space and asked Ah Ju to work overtime to inlay them into a five-piece gem set, including a crown, necklace, earrings, bracelet, and ring.
As I mentioned some time ago, the Governor-General's wife, Camille Bonaparte, came from the famous Bonaparte family, the same Bonaparte from Napoleon's family.
She is rich and has more personal assets than the governor.
There was no other reason for marrying the Governor. This old man was quite handsome before he lost his hair and gained weight.
The two people's family backgrounds were similar, both were nobles from various places. After they fell in love, there was no objection from their families, so they got married naturally.
She is an innocent and playful old girl. After the Governor came to Hong Kong to take up his post, she was a little curious about the magical Oriental country, so she followed him.
I came here across the ocean with my family and brought a lot of luggage with me, but after all, I was just taking a job here and would probably go back in three to five years. It was impossible for me to stay here forever, so I didn't bring a lot of things with me.
After the couple had their quarrel some time ago, Camille Bonaparte successfully became a candidate teacher of the Zhizhi Church, because the monthly initiation ceremony had not yet arrived.
As a reserve member, Camille Bonaparte did not have to go to work, so she had a lot of free time and wanted to go on a pilgrimage, but the time had not come yet. She had to wait until her husband went to work, then sneak into his study and take out his novel "The Legend of Shiba God" to savor it carefully.
Camille Bonaparte, who read a fantasy novel for the first time, was obsessed and completely overwhelmed by the charm of the god of Zhi.
Most people who like a star would want to spend money to buy him or her something, let alone someone like her who likes gods.
She asked her maid to search through all the boxes and cabinets in her house and found a lot of jewelry to offer to her god.
But when I think about it, these things are all things I have used before, isn’t that a bit blasphemous?
Camille Bonaparte began to hesitate. She had money and time, and she didn't want to waste too much time on internal matters. When she felt that this was not suitable, she began to search for other good things on the market.
From Camille Bonaparte's personal perspective, she did not like most of the things that were circulated on the market.
But the initiation ceremony was getting closer and closer, and even if she wanted to get some good things from her own country or her family, it was too late now.
Camille Bonaparte was very picky, always feeling that the things in his hands could not perfectly express his sincere admiration for the gods.
After dinner today, Camille Bonaparte was angry because he couldn't find a tribute that suited his taste. The governor was afraid of being scolded by his wife, so he didn't dare to say a word. After dinner, he slipped into the study on the pretext of work.
Camille Bonaparte became more and more angry as he thought about it. Just as he was about to chase him and scold him, he heard someone say that someone outside wanted to see him.
