Chapter 103 Buying a House in Hong Kong
This time, after Qiao Qinglu and her friends arrived in Hong Kong, they took a taxi directly from Yau Ma Tei to the hotel where they stayed last time. After checking in, they called Jiang Sheng and made an appointment to meet. After discussing the foreign exchange and warehouse rental issues, the family went back to the room to wash up and rest, waiting for Jiang Sheng to come.
Half an hour later, Jiang Sheng came over with bodyguards and cash. After deducting a 2% kickback and warehouse rental fees, Qiao Qinglu paid him a total of 4.2 million RMB.
After exchanging foreign currency and getting the keys, Jiang Sheng invited them to dinner at the villa in the evening. Later that night, Jiang Sheng also made an appointment with a friend who was interested in selling a house near Nanwan Village. If Qiao Qinglu wanted to buy a house, she could meet with the seller.
Qiao Qinglu and Xiao Qinyun were very grateful to Jiang Sheng as a friend. After making an appointment to meet at 5 pm, Jiang Sheng left the hotel.
Qiao Qinglu asked the triplets to stay in the hotel to read magazines and watch TV, and she would come to pick them up later. Then the two of them continued to wholesale electrical appliances, spare parts, electronic watches, tapes, clothing, shoes and bags, etc. The payment was settled directly in RMB, and they made more than 5 million.
After receiving the goods at the warehouse, Qiao Qinglu and Xiao Qinyun took a taxi to Central. They bought a set of hairstyles and two bottles of French red wine, then took a taxi back to the hotel.
Since we were in a hurry, the whole family changed their clothes immediately.
Xiao Qinyun wore a white shirt, a black suit, a dark black tie with dark patterns, an Omega watch, and brown leather shoes. Qiao Qinglu wore a bun with a Hepburn-style little black dress, a diamond necklace, a Cartier watch, a red leather handbag, and black leather shoes. Mantou and Doubao wore black and white suit shorts, and Tangyuan wore a white gauze dress. The family took a taxi to the Jiang family.
At this time, many people had already arrived at the Jiang family. They were having a self-service party that night. The housekeeper was welcoming the guests at the door. When he saw the Xiao family, he immediately called out loudly, "Mr. Xiao and Mrs. Xiao are here."
Jiang Sheng, his wife and the two young masters of the Jiang family came out to greet them. Jiang Sheng introduced Xiao Qinyun and Qiao Qinglu to his friends, while Jiang Shaolei and Jiang Shaohan took Mantou and the others to find some friends to play with.
After some toasts, Qiao Qinglu, Xiao Qinyun, Chen Sheng, Liang Sheng, Wen Sheng, and Hong Sheng were introduced by Jiang Sheng. After getting their business cards, they arranged for Jiang Sheng to act as the middleman and visit them the next morning.
It was already late, and since their goal had been achieved, Xiao Qinyun and Qiao Qinglu no longer participated in the social event. They took the children to say goodbye to Jiang Sheng and left early.
Jiang Shaolei and Jiang Shaohan asked the triplets to come over and play together tomorrow. Seeing the longing in the children's eyes, Qiao Qinglu, who had originally planned to leave the children in the hotel, agreed.
There were no taxis in the villa area, so Jiang Sheng asked the driver to take them back. Since they had been attending social events all night and had not eaten anything, Qiao Qinglu asked the driver to just take them to Central, and they could go shopping and go back by themselves.
After the driver left, Qiao Qinglu and her family went to Lan Fong Yuen and ordered diced scallion chicken, cream pork buns, and a few cups of iced silk stocking milk tea.
This shop is worthy of being the originator of Hong Kong-style milk tea. The silk stocking milk tea has a very smooth taste and is even more delicious when drunk cold in summer. After drinking a cup, the summer heat is dissipated a lot.
Xiao Qinyun and Qiao Qinglu like to eat "Scallion Oil Chicken Chops with Diced Noodles", which is the signature dish of his restaurant. The skin of the chicken chops is crispy and not greasy, the meat is firm, the noodles are very elastic and have a delicious taste.
Children love to eat piglet buns, which are crispy, with thick cream in the middle, and sweet but not greasy.
After eating, the family took a look at the night view of Victoria Harbour, took a few photos, and then returned to the hotel.
The next morning, Qiao Qinglu and her family changed into casual clothes, had breakfast, and took a taxi to the Jiang family.
Jiang Tai made an appointment for a card game and left after saying hello to Qiao Qinglu and the others.
Mantou and the others stayed at Jiang's house. Doubao played a battle video game with Jiang Shaohan, while Mantou and Tangyuan had an English conversation with Jiang Shaolei.
Mantou and his friends taught Yenching dialect, Jiang Shaolei and his friends taught Cantonese, and the five of them had a lot of fun and enjoyed themselves.
Jiang Sheng led Qiao Qinglu and the others to the nearest Liang family first.
Mr. Liang has immigrated to Southeast Asia. The factory there is short of funds recently, so even though the real estate market is sluggish now, Mr. Liang is anxious to sell the house.
This villa has a good location, close to the sea, with a swimming pool, and a construction area of more than 3,400 square feet, including the courtyard. Liang Sheng offered 1.78 million Hong Kong dollars, and Qiao Qinglu countered with 1.7 million. After Jiang Sheng mediated, the final price was 1.73 million, and a deposit of 100,000 was paid.
Mr. Liang was anxious to transfer the ownership and get the money. Mr. Jiang had connections in the government, so after making a phone call, they agreed that both parties would go directly at 2 p.m., and the ownership could be transferred and the title deed could be obtained on the same day.
Then they went to the Chen family. This house was the old house of the Chen family. Mr. Chen was recently promoting a female star. The family gave him a fixed amount of money every month, so he set his sights on the ancestral property.
When Qiao Qinglu heard that the title deed was not in Chen Sheng's name, she began to back out. The house was a bit hot to the touch. After discussing with Jiang Sheng, she decided not to buy it. When she was leaving, Chen Sheng was still a little reluctant.
It was not until Jiang Sheng said he wanted to call Mr. Chen that he stopped thinking and begged for mercy.
After leaving Chen's house, Jiang Sheng apologized to Qiao Qinglu. Qiao Qinglu waved her hands. If it weren't for Jiang Sheng, she wouldn't have noticed that Chen Sheng's name was not on the title deed. How could she blame Jiang Sheng for this? Besides, there were two more buildings to look at.
Things went very smoothly for Wensheng and Hongsheng. The two villas had similar construction areas of more than 3,100 square feet, including the courtyard. The Wen family priced them at 1.58 million yuan, and the Hong family priced them at 1.6 million yuan.
After paying the deposit and completing the formalities at 2:30 p.m., Xiao Qinyun and Qiao Qinglu invited Jiang Sheng and his family to have Hong Kong-style Western food at Tai Ping Restaurant in Causeway Bay.
Mrs. Jiang was not at home, so Mr. Jiang took his two sons to the appointment, and two cars drove to Causeway Bay.
