183: Chapter 179 Settled 183: Chapter 179 Settled Leaving Liuyuan County and coming to the Capital City, Chen Hai had left one hundred thousand yuan for his parents.
Including the ten thousand yuan in compensation from Qian Feng, all the money he could muster now was just over one hundred forty thousand yuan.
The real estate prices in Capital City had started skyrocketing this year!
Just two years ago, one could easily buy a house for a few hundred yuan per square meter.
But now, even the less desirable houses would cost over two thousand yuan per square meter.
Based on this price, the house Wang Huachun mentioned, being over two hundred square meters, would cost at least four hundred thousand yuan, right?
“Laoliu, if you’re interested in my aunt’s house, that’s fine, we can talk price, everything is negotiable!”
“To be honest, my aunt’s family owns more than just that one house.”
“The courtyard house she’s willing to sell is quite old and has always been vacant, only rented out to others.”
“When she talked to me about selling the house, her starting price was three hundred thousand yuan!”
“What’s our relationship, huh?
If you’re really keen on buying, I’ll speak well of you to Aunt Wang, maybe she can give you a small discount!”
Wang Huachun patted his chest, full of confidence as he made his promise.
Sadly, no matter how well he spoke, it wasn’t very helpful.
Remembering all he had to his name, Chen Hai still wore a helpless expression and smiled bitterly as he shook his head.
“What’s wrong, Laoliu?”
“Ever since I heard from you that you were thinking about buying a house, I have put a lot of effort into asking around for affordable and good-value houses for you!”
“Here I am, finally finding a suitable house, and I immediately notified you.
You haven’t changed your mind and lost interest, have you?”
Looking at Chen Hai suspiciously and giving him a once-over, Wang Huachun appeared slightly displeased as he sought confirmation from Chen Hai.
“Huachun, all I’ve got to my name is just over one hundred thousand yuan.”
“I’d like to buy that courtyard house you mentioned, but honestly, I just can’t afford it!” Shrugging his shoulders, Chen Hai spread his hands and explained.
“Is that so…” Wang Huachun frowned.
Tilting his head and pondering for a moment, he tentatively began, “Aunt Wang and I are close, but to get her courtyard for just over one hundred thousand yuan—that’s beyond my influence.”
After negotiating a good price with her, you can pay half the purchase price upfront.”
“And you can pay her the remaining amount in either six months or after a year.”
“If you agree with my suggestion, I’ll find time this afternoon to go and talk with Aunt Wang about it.”
At this time in Yanhuang Country, the real estate market in Hainan was boiling hot.
But in other cities, the concept of commercial housing was just beginning to emerge, and the idea of installment payments for houses had not yet entered the minds of most people.
Being able to make such a suggestion in front of Chen Hai, it must be said that Wang Huachun.
who studied economics, was truly quick-witted, his brain far more nimble than the average person’s.
“Pay half upfront to buy a house?
Is that even a thing?” Chen Hai was visibly taken aback upon hearing this suggestion.
“In Xiangjiang, houses can be bought on installment for some time now, Laoliu, you’re somewhat uninformed!”
“In Yanhuang Country, we still can’t receive support from banks for installment house purchases.”
“But that doesn’t matter.
Aunt Wang trusts me, and we are roommates, with me mediating between you two.”
“With this suggestion I’m making, as long as you have no objections, I’m at least eighty percent sure I can convince Aunt Wang!”
With a confident demeanor, Wang Huachun smiled and nodded, saying,
“Alright, Huachun, you’ve convinced me.”
“If you can really persuade Aunt Wang to agree to your proposal, naturally, I have no objections.”
Frowning slightly and pondering for a long time, Chen Hai nodded and promised.
He never doubted his own ability to make money.
Tens or a couple of hundred thousand yuan might be a huge sum for others, taking who knows how long to earn back.
But with Chen Hai’s geomancy and divination skills, with a bit of luck, a single deal could earn him that amount.
“Fine, I don’t have class this afternoon; I’ll head over to Aunt Wang’s place later to discuss this matter with her.”
“Just wait for my good news.
After I’ve finalized things with Aunt Wang, I’ll take you to have a good look at the property she wants to buy.”
“If you have no objections to the property, we can go to Aunt Wang and talk about the real estate transaction.”
Seeing Chen Hai nod in agreement, Wang Huachun was in high spirits.
He laughed and explained to Chen Hai.
In fact, though he had just started his freshman year, he had long harbored entrepreneurial ambitions.
He wanted to enter the real estate brokerage industry.
After all, to start a business, it’s best to begin with what one is good at.
And Wang Huachun’s greatest strength lay in his ability to judge the future trends of the real estate market.
Not to speak of other things, but just his prediction that Capital City’s property prices would halve in the next few years had already proven how extraordinary Wang Huachun’s insight in the field was!
With his theory, as long as his real estate agency started up, the future was boundless, and he was sure to make a fortune.
Who knows, maybe in a decade or two, his photo would be displayed amongst Capital Political and Legal University’s esteemed alumni.
Of this, Wang Huachun had no doubt.
Acting as the middleman and selling Aunt Wang’s property to Chen Hai was, arguably, the first try of his professional career!
And judging by the current situation, this future real estate broker magnate was proving very successful!
Look, wasn’t Chen Hai already persuaded by him and eager to buy Aunt Wang’s house?
By a little past four in the afternoon, Chen Hai leisurely left the campus, walking towards the main gate.
When he was a hundred or two hundred meters from the gate, a sweaty Wang Huachun, riding a bicycle, appeared once again before his eyes.
“Chen Hai, over here…” Upon spotting Chen Hai, he excitedly waved at him.
Chen Hai had only just stopped when Wang Huachun, riding his bike, had already pulled up nearby.
“Chen Hai, your trust was not misplaced.
The matter of the house I mentioned this morning, I’ve already settled it with Aunt Wang.”
“For the purchase payment, she can accept you paying half upfront, but the remaining amount has to be paid in full within six months.”
“If you have no objections, you can come with me right now to have a look inside the property she wants to sell!”
Giving Chen Hai an OK sign, Wang Huachun explained with a smile.
“You’ve settled it already?
You’re quite efficient!”
“Since I’ve got nothing else to do now, I might as well go and have a look at that property with you!”
After a moment’s hesitation, Chen Hai smiled, nodded, and agreed.
