Chapter 177: 170, Brother-in-law the Domineering CEO's Magnum Opus (Vote for Monthly Pass)
"Buying a house?"
Li Baojun, who had been focused on the smart driving system, unconsciously glanced through the rearview mirror to the backseat.
Kang Huizhi, sitting in the passenger seat, even turned around in surprise to look at her son-in-law.
The shocks they had to endure today had already been plentiful.
"Director Li, you have a keen eye."
Yang Hao nodded to Li Manni, effectively confirming her speculation.
"Ah?"
"Brother-in-law, you're really planning to buy a house??"
Li Manni hadn't expected her guess to be correct, and her beautiful eyes widened considerably.
Buying a house was one thing, but this was a property in Binjiang Left Bank!
Although it wasn't quite as prestigious as Star Cloud Bay, it was still a famous luxury neighborhood in Jiangcheng.
At the current real estate prices, even the smallest apartments of 180 square meters in the community would cost eight or nine million.
Before housing prices fell, ten million was the entry point for this neighborhood. Experience more magic at m v l e mpyr
So, every homeowner living in Binjiang Left Bank must be at least a multimillionaire!
"Hao, there's no need to buy a house!"
After a moment of stunned silence, Kang Huizhi spoke with a somewhat dry voice.
"Here's what I'm thinking: you are both getting on in years, and after all, there's no one to take care of you in our hometown."
"Why not buy an apartment in Jiangcheng, so you can retire here in the future."
"Even if you don't move to Jiangcheng for the time being, once we've bought the house, Manni can live there first. The apartment she's living in now is too small, and the old community's environment isn't very good."
Yang Hao elaborated on his reasons.
"This..."
Speechless, Kang Huizhi was moved and felt her son-in-law was so thoughtful that even a biological son might not do as much.
Li Baojun, who had had his share of hardships for the better part of his life, was almost moved to tears, thinking that this son-in-law must be kept in the Li family at all costs!!
The group soon arrived at Binjiang Left Bank where Wang Xiuxiu and Wu Tian were already waiting at the entrance to the community.
The security of this community was on par with Star Cloud Bay, and only after permission from the homeowners selling the property were they allowed to enter.
"Mr. Yang, I presume you are familiar with Binjiang Left Bank?"
"The 428-square-meter layout we are going to see is the largest in the community. The apartment is on the 23rd floor, which is also a prime level."
"Moreover, the homeowner only lived here briefly, so the decoration is very new. In fact, it's quite suitable for a bridal house..."
Wu Tian introduced the details of the apartment as they walked.
In her eyes, the configuration of the four visitors resembled that of a couple looking to buy a matrimonial home.
Hearing this, Li Manni immediately blushed, instinctively lowering her head.
The focus for Kang Huizhi and Li Baojun was not the "bridal house," but rather the "428 square" figure that had shocked them.
They had thought that even if Yang Hao were to buy them a house, it would be a normal residential property.
They didn't expect it would be a 428-square-meter luxury apartment.
How much would that cost??
Yang Hao naturally did not deliberately refute the "bridal house" statement; he was busy looking left and right, observing the environment of the community. The internal environment of Binjiang Left Bank was not much inferior to that of Star Cloud Bay, with a high degree of greening and even a rubber track for owners who liked to run.
The advantage of Star Cloud Bay is that the spacing between buildings is sufficiently large. After all, the vast Star Cloud Bay community was made up of only five buildings, so even the lower floors do not block much light, which is one of the reasons Star Cloud Bay is more expensive.
The group took the elevator up, and the homeowner was already waiting to open the door.
The homeowner was a woman in her forties, a bit overweight, dressed with glitter and glamour, radiating the aura of a wealthy woman from Hong City.
After exchanging a few polite words, they began to tour the apartment.
Kang Huizhi and Li Baojun were, of course, extremely satisfied with the apartment. Not only was it spacious, but the decor was new and it looked almost no different from a new house.
"Mom and Dad, are you satisfied with the house?"
After they had toured the apartment, Yang Hao asked.
"We are satisfied," they agreed.
"But this house must be expensive, right?"
"Hao, you've already spent too much money!" Kang Huizhi didn't know what else to say—it would be insincere to claim not to like a large house.
"Glad you like it."
After receiving an affirmative reply, Yang Hao nodded and then turned to the plump female homeowner, "Wang, how much do you want to sell this house for?"
"18.88 million."
The Wang surnamed homeowner offered the same price as online and added, "I'm actually selling at a loss!"
"OK!"
"Deal!"
Yang Hao made an 'OK' gesture with his hand and immediately agreed to the deal.
Huh??
Everyone present was bewildered.
They were all staring with their eyes wide open.
Because no one expected Hao to agree so readily.
Even the glamorous female homeowner was stunned; she had already braced herself for a price cut.
After all, buying a house always involves negotiation, especially when the total price is so high. She wouldn't have been surprised by a cut of a couple of million.
But instead, the other party agreed outright.
This gave her the feeling that she had set her price too low, kind of like when you go to a wholesale clothing market, the vendor asks for 200, you offer 100, and they agree right away.
Your first reaction would definitely be: damn, I offered too much!
The female homeowner's reaction was: damn, I asked for too little!
However, this thought was fleeting. Her house had been on the market for over three months, and the price had dropped from the initial 23.5 million to 18.88 million.
It can't be helped; the real estate market isn't doing well, and everyone prefers to wait and see.
Properties around twenty million might end up losing millions, so luxury homes like these are truly hard to sell.
Meanwhile, Kang Huizhi and Li Baojun were completely flabbergasted.
When they heard the "18.88 million" quote, they felt as if they had been struck by lightning.
They had anticipated that the house would be expensive, but not this expensive.
They thought their son-in-law would whip out the dragon-slaying saber to haggle, or give up on the property.
But, to their absolute surprise,
their son-in-law simply agreed to it outright!
As agents, Wu Tian and Wang Xiuxiu were equally dumbfounded.
This was an 18.88 million house!
And the deal was struck just like that??
The two parties hadn't even met for half an hour!!
Nevertheless, Wu Tian, being experienced, quickly regained her composure and promptly put on a smile, "Since both parties have reached an agreement, why don't we just sign the contract now?"
Wu Tian feared the cooked duck might fly away. She was the agent for this property and would get a commission from the sale.
Plus, with her status as a store manager, she would receive a small performance bonus for any sales made in her store, on top of her agent commission. This deal was going to be a huge profit for her.
"Xiuxiu, what are you waiting for? Get the contract!"
Wu Tian nudged the newcomer, who was on her first day, with her elbow.
It was incredible!
To sell an 18.88 million house on the first day of work—a feat many in second-hand home sales might not achieve in a year.
And Wang Xiuxiu did it on her very first day, like some kind of lucky charm!
"Alright!"
Regaining her senses, Wang Xiuxiu quickly brought out the contract.
"Mr. Yang, will you be making a mortgage or paying in full?"
The female homeowner, who was now back to reality, asked. Naturally, she hoped for a full payment, which would shorten the transaction period and let her get the money much sooner.
"In full."
Hao replied.
"Great, that's wonderful."
The homeowner nodded with a smile, as this would save a lot of trouble.
"Mom, take out your ID and then sign the contract,"
At this moment, Hao said to Kang Huizhi.
"Huh?"
"Sign the contract with my ID?"
"The house is going to be registered in my name??"
Kang Huizhi, still shaken, was shocked once more.
An 18.88 million house, to be bought in her name?
Kang Huizhi subconsciously looked at her younger daughter, Li Manni. If it weren't for some idea involving her daughter, such a possibility would be absolutely unthinkable!!
She guessed that her son-in-law actually intended to give the house to her younger daughter, Li Manni, but feared she might refuse it. So he simply decided to buy it under my name. After all, I'm seldom in Jiangcheng, so the one living in this house would still be my daughter, Li Manni.
That's what Kang Huizhi thought quietly.
At this moment, Li Manni was also too shocked to speak. She originally thought that her brother-in-law giving her a Porsche Cayenne was his most extravagant gift.
She never imagined he would then give a house worth 18.88 million!
So, this must be the real masterpiece, right!
