“Damn,” listening to Fatty say this, this Master Liu Cheng seems to have a high status.
Wang Hao sheepishly withdrew his hand—Alright then, the guy’s a revered master and looks down on us little hicks. Ignore us if you must.
“Brother Hao,” Ren Xing, who was holding the steering wheel, was making small talk to change the subject, “Golden Stone Town, the apartments here are said to be selling quite well, and the sizes aren’t bad either. I was thinking about buying Mu Qing a duplex, one with two floors.”
See that? That’s what you call a tycoon!
“Definitely a tycoon,” Wang Hao chuckled back, “Just buy it if it catches your eye, why are you even asking me about this?”
“That’s not how it works,” Ren Xing gave his opinion while driving, “Brother Hao, your knowledge is vast. If it weren’t for that incident, you would’ve at least been in a key provincial university. I’m thinking of buying something satisfactory, so you’ll have to give it a good look for me.”
Wang Hao and Ren Xing had been best friends since childhood. Apart from mucking around, they were quite inseparable in everything else. Since there wasn’t much going on today and luck was on their side, helping out was definitely a must.
“Sure, no problem!” Wang Hao immediately nodded, “Let’s first see what the houses look like when we get there. Today, we’re definitely picking a great one for you!”
Speaking of which, besides being rich, Ren Xing really didn’t have much else going for him.
Why he liked this community, he struggled to articulate clearly for quite some while.
“Brother Hao, I just feel like it should be good,” Ren Xing laughed while driving, “It’s purely an intuition. I don’t understand this stuff, I just saw the brochure and liked the name, so I came over.”
“So, you’re planning to buy a multi-million-dollar house because it sounds nice?” Wang Hao was speechless. This guy was the absolute epitome of a rich second generation, rich but pretty useless in other aspects.
But that’s how it goes, eh? People can drive you crazy with envy, and this guy is just ridiculously lucky, beyond reason!
“What about the surrounding facilities? You should at least know about that, right?” Ren Xing didn’t understand, but Wang Hao knew a bit about it. Buying a house was firstly about the developer and secondly about the surrounding facilities.
“Facilities?” Ren Xing thought for a moment, then stroked his chin, “I didn’t really think about that, but no worries,” he scratched his head, laughing, “We’ll see when we get there.”
So you’re buying a house on a whim—I want to buy a house!
And then you just pay, right?
Forget it, this guy’s always been since we were kids. No way to change him, that’s why he asked me to come look…
Golden Stone Town wasn’t too far from Wang Hao’s house, roughly a half-hour drive. When they arrived, Wang Hao could see from afar that the parking lot was packed, with no spots left.
It took Ren Xing a good ten minutes to finally find a spot, not an easy feat!
Getting out of the car, Wang Hao took another look around; it was all Mercedes or BMWs, and if you drove a rundown car, you’d feel embarrassed to park here!
“Impressive!” Wang Hao exclaimed, “People these days are really damn rich. Buying houses like buying cabbages…”
He felt the 300,000 yuan bank card in his pocket…
Before, he thought he was holding a fortune, but coming to this place, fuck, it’s barely enough to buy a bathroom!
“Let’s take a look around first, see how the surrounding facilities are.” Wang Hao and Ren Xing each lighted a cigarette, then Wang Hao said, “If the surrounding facilities are not comprehensive, it’s going to be troublesome in the future.”
Nowadays, many developers in their greed build towers close together like a bamboo forest in a small plot, blocking light and lacking all kinds of facilities. So no matter where you buy a house, the primary thing to check is whether the facilities are comprehensive or not.
“Sure, you call the shots.” Ren Xing nodded, but didn’t move. Instead, he respectfully turned to Master Liu and said, “Master, I’ll go look around with my friend first. I’ll find a place for you to have some tea and rest for a while.”
After all, it’s a property investment, and Master Liu knew you couldn’t rush multimillion-dollar deals, although he still maintained a lofty demeanor.
He nodded slightly and said through his nose, “I’ll give you thirty minutes. Go.”
“Yes, yes, definitely!” Ren Xing escorted the master to a tea house next to the sales office and then came running down, sweating profusely, “Brother Hao, let’s go.”
This master really had some style, so cool!
The trio, Wang Hao, Ren Xing, and Zhang Muqing, started wandering around. While walking, Wang Hao explained to Ren Xing, “You see, when you want to buy a house, the surroundings must be fully facilitated. What does fully facilitated mean? Various convenience stores, restaurants from low to high-end, shopping malls, schools, police stations, fire stations, banks, and so on—all must be present.”
Ren Xing gave a thumbs up, “Otherwise, why would we ask you to come? Brother Hao, you really know a lot!”
Zhang Muqing also smiled with pursed lips. This Brother Hao seemed to know everything under the sun. Just yesterday, when the film crew didn’t have a location, Brother Hao took care of it, and it worked immediately!
The most awesome part was how that haughty young star got totally knocked down in front of Brother Hao. Totally dominated!
“Nonsense, just see what I do for a living.” Wang Hao chuckled, and after walking around the district for a while, he pointed to a row of small shops ahead and said, “See that? What I’m talking about, the facilities, are right here. Look, there are cyber cafes, supermarkets, and various restaurants.”
Ren Xing nodded like a pecking chicken, “Right, right, they’re there!”
They walked a bit further, and Wang Hao’s eyes suddenly brightened. He laughed, “Haha, nice, nice, a kindergarten! Oh boy, when you guys have kids, you won’t have to worry about kindergarten. Look at the size of this kindergarten, it must be thousands of square meters?”
Zhang Muqing’s face instantly turned red, and she kept her head down, silent.
Ren Xing laughed heartily, “This is great, this is great, I knew we had to bring Brother Hao to see this. Otherwise, I just wouldn’t feel settled!”
The guy was really good at flattering. Wang Hao chuckled and shook his head, then they continued walking for a while. Wang Hao looked around and frowned, “We can’t keep walking , the distant places are out of reach for now. Let me check the map.”
He took out his phone and opened Baidu Maps.
He located the area and zoomed in on the surroundings. Wang Hao laughed, “Hehe, buddy, you’re really lucky. Look here, two streets to the south, there’s an elementary school. Beside the elementary school is a middle school, then a high school—all in a row. This place is good.”
Generally speaking, the school district is definitely one of the most important facilities around a residential area.
And this Golden Stone Town is right next to this school district!
Damn, the location here is so good, Wang Hao was tempted himself.
He felt the 300,000 in his pocket…
The money wasn’t enough, damn it!
“Hehe, I told you my instincts aren’t bad,” Ren Xing started scratching his head, “Brother Hao, how do you feel about this place?”
“The overall facilities are no problem,” Wang Hao looked at Baidu Maps and stroked his chin, “Look here, this is the biggest outlet supermarket nearby, next to it is Xiyi Shopping Mall, and not far from here is Wanda Plaza. Damn, buddy, your intuition is spot-on!”
As he said this, Wang Hao couldn’t help but sigh—the guy was naturally lucky, and there was no comparing!
Just thinking about buying a house, and casually looking at a property this awesome… The most crucial part was that this was a newly developed property. The surrounding planning was very good, the roads were broad, transportation was convenient, especially towards the south: three school domains, plus a university town further away. This whole area had no high-rise buildings—the view was very open, completely free from the drawbacks of other properties where, if you open your window, you’d almost face other buildings directly.
“Hehe, not bad? Then Brother Hao, let’s get moving, let’s go back and discuss,” Ren Xing laughed, “Today we definitely need to seal this deal! Buy early and relax early!”
Wang Hao nodded in agreement, “Yeah, sure! Let’s see what the master says later. By the way, buddy, do you really take Feng Shui that seriously?”
“I have to,” Ren Xing nodded, “I’ve been superstitious since I was a kid. I always believe in Feng Shui—it’s better to believe it exists. Whether the house is suitable or not mainly depends on its Feng Shui. Even if a house with bad Feng Shui is in a good location, I won’t feel comfortable buying it!”
