5. Get the courtyard(1/2)
Liu Taobao said that the house is indeed not far away.
After a while, Xia Yang took her on a bicycle and arrived near Shachuan Road. This area was full of courtyard-style houses with high walls and green tiles, full of traces of history.
In the past, one had to be wealthy to live in such a house, and Liu Taobao's home was also here. Xia Yang didn't find it strange at all. Liu Taobao had an elegant temperament, could play the piano and dance, and had many talents. It was not easy to cultivate such a girl.
Liu Taobao was very familiar with this place and quickly brought Xia Yang to a courtyard.
This courtyard is not small, covering an area of four to five hundred square meters. The thick bluestone wall is three meters high, and the two heavy wooden doors are five or six meters wide. It may not be lived in often, and the copper ring on the door has some patina.
In his previous life, Xia Yang could easily buy a better and bigger courtyard than this one, but now he feels a little worried.
Because he sold more clothes for half a month, plus the daily reward of 100 yuan from the sign-in system, he has only saved more than 3,000 yuan for the time being.
While looking for a house, he learned that with current housing prices, a single-family house with a large courtyard like this would be unaffordable for less than RMB 100,000.
One hundred thousand at this time is definitely a huge sum of money.
I wonder if the landlord is willing to accept installment payments.
Xia Yang thought to himself.
Liu Taobao was very familiar with this family, so he knocked on the door and called for help.
"Grandpa Chen, please open the door quickly. I'll take my friends to see the house."
"It's Taobao. Oh, Taobao has made a friend. Is it a boy or a girl?"
An old but cheerful voice came from inside.
This statement is misguided in that country. The key point is to see whether the house is good or not.
Xia Yang didn't know what to say.
Liu Taobao pursed his lips and smiled, "Don't mind. Grandpa Chen is just like that. He likes to joke. His two sons are abroad. He is usually bored living here alone. He wants to sell this house because he wants to reunite with his relatives abroad.
."
While talking, the door was opened from the inside.
The Grandpa Chen whom Liu Taobao talked about walked out. He had gray hair, but he was energetic and smiled kindly. His eyes fell directly on Xia Yang.
"You are the one who wants to buy my house?"
Even if he had no money, Xia Yang had to say, "I originally wanted to rent a house, but seeing that your house is very good, I want to sell it, but the money I have is not enough for the time being."
Grandpa Chen put his hands behind his back and smiled, "You are sincere. Taobao may have told you about my situation. Originally, I only sold this house and did not rent it. But since you were brought here by Taobao, everything
It's all easy to say, you come in first and have a look at the house."
Grandpa Chen walked into the courtyard first with his hands behind his back, followed by Xia Yang and Liu Taobao.
This house is larger than what you see from the outside because there is a backyard inside.
Entering the door is a spacious front yard. There are some beautiful flowers and green plants in the flower bed in the middle of the yard. The blue-tiled houses on both sides are spacious and transparent. Entering through the arch is the backyard, which is even more spacious. As soon as you see it, you will see a clear pond with rockery towering in the middle of the pond.
It is decorated with green lotus flowers. On a rainy day, standing under the cloister and admiring the lotus flowers brings out the poetic and picturesque feeling.
The more Xia Yang looked at it, the more he became imaginary. He dared to look at such a house with three thousand yuan in his pocket. He must have been influenced by his previous life and thought he was worth tens of millions.
"How's it going, young man, are you satisfied with this house?"
Mr. Chen asked Xia Yang with a smile.
"Satisfied, Mr. Chen, how do you plan to sell this courtyard? Can you accept installment payment?"
Xia Yang asked directly.
Before Mr. Chen could speak, Liu Taobao spoke first, "Grandpa Chen, Xia Yang has just started his career. He doesn't have that much money for the time being, so you just accept the installment payment. Anyway, you have money. You don't need the money. You can get the money earlier."
It will be the same if he gets the money later. In this way, I will give him a guarantee, and if he doesn't pay back, I will help him pay it back."
"You help him pay it back. Do you know how much my house is worth?"
Mr. Chen looked at Xia Yang in surprise. He did not expect Liu Taobao to be willing to vouch for Xia Yang.
"I don't know. Is it more valuable than my house?"
Liu Taobao's words made Grandpa Chen stunned for a moment, and then he laughed, "It's true that your house is not as valuable as your house. Your house can be exchanged for four or five of my houses. From this point of view, you are qualified to guarantee it. If he pays back, I will
I don’t want you to pay back the money, and I will move into your home.”
"You think so well, my mother will definitely ask Grandpa Song to kick you out."
Liu Taobao chuckled. Grandpa Song was the former concierge of their family and is now a security guard.
Xia Yang looked strange. Mr. Chen wanted to live in Liu Taobao's house. Could it be because of Liu Taobao's mother? In other words, Liu Taobao was so beautiful, so her mother must also be a great beauty.
After the joke was over, Mr. Chen stopped wasting time and turned to Xia Yang and asked, "How much money can you spend now?"
Xia Yang asked, "How do you sell your house?"
Mr. Chen was dumbfounded by Xia Yang's rhetorical question, "Yes, you have always remained calm and refused to suffer losses. To suffer a loss in business is to make less money, and to make less money is to lose money. I have begun to believe that you can definitely make money in business."
"You have seen my house. It is made with exquisite workmanship. My quotation is 160,000 yuan. You are brought here by Taobao. I will lower my price by 10,000 yuan or 150,000 yuan. No price will be determined."
Xia Yang's face was as usual, but he was cursing in his heart. Mr. Chen looked kind and kind, but his heart was really dark. He increased the price by half and even sold Liu Taobao's favor.
But what a businessman does is to buy the best products at the cheapest price, otherwise how can a businessman survive?
So everyone just depends on their ability.
"Sixty thousand, Mr. Chen, I am very sincere."
"Young man, if you can bargain like this, you can only get a fraction of the price." Mr. Chen's eyes widened.
"Mr. Chen, 60,000 yuan is a lot. With the current wages of workers, it will take at least 30 years to save 60,000 yuan without food or drink. I will pay a deposit of 3,000 yuan first, and I guarantee to pay off the rest within two years.
If you break the contract and the house belongs to you, I will compensate you another 10,000 yuan."
Xia Yang's words made Mr. Chen a little relieved. His house had been listed for almost a year, but no one bought it. The reason was simple. The house was good, but not many people could afford such a large amount of money now.
"Even if you pay it off within two years, your price is too low. So I will take another step back, 140,000."
This chapter is not over, please click on the next page to continue reading! "Sixty-five thousand."
The two of them, one old and one young, go back and forth to test each other's bottom line.
Liu Taobao stood aside and watched. She didn't feel bored, but found it very interesting.
In the end, one person wanted to sell the house quickly and go abroad to reunite with his family as soon as possible, and the other really wanted to buy this beautiful courtyard.
After some haggling, the two happily reached an agreement.
Xia Yang's bottom line was 100,000 yuan, but in the end he took advantage of it. Chen Laozhen was in a hurry to reunite with his relatives, so he got the entire courtyard with furniture for 90,000 yuan.
But pay 3,000 yuan first, and pay at least 3,000 yuan every month in the first half of the year. This is to prevent the contract from being broken and the house being occupied in vain. The remaining payment must be paid off in the second half of the year.
Otherwise, the house will be returned and all the money paid will be used as compensation.
The conditions are very harsh, but if Xia Yang can't earn more than 90,000 yuan a year, there's no need to bother.
There is also the most important condition, which must be guaranteed by Liu Taobao.
After the negotiation, the three of them went to the housing authority together. Mr. Chen had an acquaintance, and the transfer went smoothly. The previously negotiated conditions were made into a contract, and Liu Taobao, as the guarantor, also signed and pressed his finger on it.
After everything was done, before leaving, Mr. Chen gave Xia Yang a bank account and just deposit the remaining house payment into it. As long as the house payment is paid off on time, the agreement will automatically become invalid.
Mr. Chen is a neat and tidy person. He sold the house and the furniture together. He simply packed two suitcases, handed the keys to Xia Yang, and checked into the hotel by himself. He had already booked a flight and would fly out tomorrow morning.
"You are so brave. You only have three thousand yuan to sell such a big courtyard. But this house is really nice, especially the lotus pond in the backyard. If I had money, I would buy this courtyard."
Liu Taobao walked around the courtyard with Xia Yang.
There are green lotuses in the green pond, a smile blows by, and the lotus fragrance is faint.
The more Xia Yang looked at it, the more satisfied he became. The place was big enough and less than 500 meters away from Lanyuan Clothing Market.
I have made a plan in my mind. The houses in the front yard are all for employees to live in. Each room is spacious, fully furnished, cleaned, and you can live in it with a quilt.
The three brothers live in the backyard.
"Taobao, thank you very much today. If it weren't for your guarantee, Mr. Chen would definitely not sell the house to me."
Xia Yang was really grateful to Liu Taobao. If it weren't for Liu Taobao today, Mr. Chen might not even be interested in talking to him.
His name was never asked from the beginning to the end. The house was said to be sold to him, rather than to Liu Taobao.
"How are you going to thank me?" Liu Taobao asked arrogantly with his hands behind his back.
"How about I treat you to Western food?" Xia Yang suggested.
Liu Taobao pursed his lips and smiled, and asked generously, "Do you have enough money left to pay the bill?"
Xia Yang suddenly became speechless. He really didn't have enough money left. After paying 3,000 yuan for the house first, he only had more than 100 yuan left.
Liu Taobao was generous and generous, and Xia Yang had nothing to be embarrassed about, "It's really not enough, but I remember that I owe you a French meal. When the time comes, I hope that the beautiful Miss Taobao can give me a chance to treat you to dinner."
."
Liu Taobao's jade-like face turned red, but her tone was arrogant, "It depends on my mood that day."
"Then I hope the beautiful Miss Taobao will be in a good mood every day."
Liu Taobao happily covered her mouth and chuckled, "I accept your blessing, but before you treat me to a big dinner, would I be honored to invite you to my home first?"
