Chapter 16 Buying a House
After all, Li Chenggui is not alone in the shopping mall.
Li Chenggui thought for a moment before saying, "Then Mr. Li wait, I'll make a call."
"Okay, Mr. Li, it's okay to stand here all the time. I'll wait for you at the teahouse next door." Li Dong pointed to the teahouse not far away, and he was a little tired after turning around for a long time.
There seem to be no cafes in Dongping now, but there are quite a few teahouses.
"Okay, Mr. Li will go first, I'll be there soon."
Li Chenggui didn't want Li Dong to listen by the side either. He still had some questions to discuss with his friends.
...
Li Dong waited in the restaurant for about twenty minutes before Li Chenggui walked in sweating profusely.
Not only is he alone, but behind him are two middle-aged men of the same age, who must be his friends.
"Mr. Li, I'm sorry you have to wait for a long time!" Li Chenggui apologized and hurriedly apologized.
Li Dong indicated that it was okay, got up and smiled: "These two should be your friends, let's sit together."
The man with glasses among the two nodded slightly to Li Dong and sat down, while the other looked at Li Chenggui suspiciously when he saw that Li Dong was so young.
However, Li Chenggui is a major shareholder of Gailou's investment. There is nothing wrong with Li Chenggui, and Li Chenggui suffers a big loss.
As soon as he sat down, Li Chenggui drank all the tea in the cup in one breath, and said, "Mr. Li, I have discussed with my friends that the building can be sold, but there are two preconditions that I need to tell you."
"You say it!" Li Dongzuo listened.
Li Chenggui was not polite and said straight: "First, because you want to buy the lower floors of the store, you need a premium compared to the market price."
This is reasonable. After all, there are still differences between commercial buildings and residential buildings, and the shops facing the street are naturally more valuable.
And once the bottom three floors of the Blue Ocean Commercial Building are sold, the renting of the upper two floors will definitely be affected.
Although Li Dong had already agreed in his heart, he still pretended to hesitate for a moment before nodding.
Li Chenggui breathed a sigh of relief and continued: "Second, the Blue Ocean Commercial Building has a basement floor, which was originally intended to be a parking garage. If Mr. Li wants to buy this basement, it will also be included, and we need to retain the right to use it."
Naturally, Li Dong would not agree to this easily, and frowned: "I will definitely buy the parking garage, but there is no need to say that the right to use is reserved. I know what you are worried about. In the future, tenants on the fourth, fifth, and second floors of the mall can use the parking lot. Library, as long as you pay according to the rules, it will be fine.”
The three of Li Chenggui discussed in a low voice for a while, and after thinking about it, they didn't care about this issue.
What I just said are all small issues. If the price can't be negotiated, everything will be empty.
Li Chenggui continued: "Since Mr. Li wants to buy a house, he must have some understanding of the market."
"The first floor of Blue Ocean is 820 square meters, and the average price of each street-facing shop on North Street is about 2,200. The usable area of the second and third floors is 780 square meters, and the average market price is also hovering at 2,000."
"We only calculate the cost for the garage. The total cost is 5.2 million. I wonder if Mr. Li can accept it?"
After Li Chenggui finished speaking, there was a trace of expectation in his eyes, and he hoped that Li Dong would agree.
However, Li Dong is not a man with a lot of money, he immediately shook his head and said: "Mr. Li's price is too insincere, it's boring to say how much the market price is. Mr. Li doesn't even look at how many places there can be on North Street in the past year. Did the shop change hands?"
Li Chenggui was not afraid of counter-offering, but he was afraid that Li Dong would be scared away by the more than five million yuan before he even paid back the price.
Seeing Li Dong talking about the price now, he felt relieved.
Immediately cheered up and talked to Li Dong, and the two partners around him also offered help from time to time.
...
Several people talked for about an hour, and the two sides mainly disagreed on price.
In the end, Li Dong killed four million and did not let go, so Li Chenggui and the others found an excuse to go out to discuss.
In fact, even if it is a little more expensive, Li Dong is willing to buy it, after all, the price will rise in the second half of the year.
However, he doesn't have that much money now, and he can't even get the down payment for the time being. It depends on how long the lobster reselling business can be done.
Moreover, he is confident that he will pay 4 million. Anyway, the cost of real estate is not high. Even if Li Chenggui and a few people are 4 million, they will definitely make money.
After waiting for a few minutes, Li Chenggui and the three entered the door again.
Li Chenggui and the two friends looked at each other and said, "Mr. Li, 4 million is indeed a bit short. Let's each give in a step, 4.38 million, and we should be friends."
This friend is too expensive, 380,000 yuan, can buy two apartments in Dongping, Li Dong is naturally unwilling.
After thinking about it for a moment, Li Dong said: "Take an auspicious number, 4.18 million, it will be released even if it dies, and a win-win situation is a win!"
Li Chenggui looked at each other and discussed a few words in a low voice. Finally, Li Chenggui made a final decision: "Deal! We can sign the agreement now!"
...
It was already twelve o'clock after the initial agreement was signed. Several people agreed to formally sign the house purchase contract ten days later. After all, Li Dong still needed time to raise money, and he had to wait until the Blue Ocean Building was completely completed.
Li Chenggui and the others are not in a hurry these days. After all, there are very few people who can spend millions to buy a house in Dongping. As long as the time is not too outrageous, they can wait.
Rejecting Li Chenggui's invitation to treat guests to dinner, and leaving the restaurant, Li Dong was a little tired.
Hurrying to the vegetable market, my parents have already bought the rice and are waiting for Li Dong.
Seeing Li Dong coming, Cao Fang set up a small table at the back of the booth and brought the purchased meals.
Lunch is very rich, pork ribs soup, braised beef, braised crucian carp, and a few vegetarian dishes.
Li Dong found a stool and sat down, and said to his parents, "You must not have eaten either. Let's eat together."
"You eat first. Your dad and I will watch the stall and eat later."
"It's noon now, no one is there, let's eat together, it's boring to eat alone."
Cao Fang and his wife could not beat Li Dong, so they had to sit down and eat together. This kind of scene is rare, and there are not many days for a family of three to eat together.
When he was a child, Li Dong also liked to stay at the vegetable market to eat with his parents. Later, when he grew up, he seldom came because he loved face.
Later, I went to college by myself and rarely went home. After graduating from college, my parents passed away, so there were really few days to eat together.
Silently eating, Li Dong's thoughts drifted far away.
My parents would never have imagined that the son who was sitting in front of them had just negotiated a multi-million dollar deal and bought an entire three-story building on Commercial Street.
After another ten years, he will not sell the three-story building without tens of millions, and the rent alone is enough for the whole family to spend a lot of money.
Just thinking about something, the middle-aged woman selling fish next door laughed loudly: "Oh, this is Dongzi, I haven't seen anyone for a long time, and she has grown so big in a blink of an eye!"
Li Dongliu returned to his place, raised his head and smiled: "Aunt Wang, you haven't changed since I haven't seen you for so long. You look younger than my mother."
"Hahaha, Xiaodongzi can talk. It's almost time for the college entrance examination. Which school are you going to take? Your parents are talking all day long. I can hear calluses in my ears, but you have to take the test." Aunt Wang's voice was very loud. , The business people in the vegetable market have this habit.
If the sound is too low, the customers cannot hear it, and since quarrels are common, the sound is not too loud and can't hold back the scene.
There is also a custom in the vegetable market, that is, they usually do not talk about business, but only talk about their children.
When the people next to him heard Aunt Wang's words, they came over to say hello to Li Chengyuan and his wife, and also looked at Li Dong strangely.
Li Dong was admitted to the County No. 1 Middle School, but it was a sensation, and he was also an experimental class of the County No. 1 Middle School, which was even more enviable.
Usually, Li Chengyuan and his wife show off Li Dong a lot. In addition, Li Dong has been less in the past few years. Everyone came forward to ask questions, and the sighs in their eyes could not be concealed.
Li Dong dealt with it comfortably, and chatted a few words with everyone, but no one was left out in the cold.
This made everyone even more impressed, and repeatedly praised Li Chengyuan's couple for having a good son, and they will definitely have a future.
Cao Fang couldn't close his mouth to laugh. Although Li Chengyuan didn't show it, he could tell from his eyes that he must be secretly happy.
Li Dong also laughed, but his heart was sour.
This is the parents, praise them a hundred times without complimenting their children. Children are all they have.
I seldom came to the vegetable market in my previous life, and my parents must have been lost if I wanted to come.
Wei Wei sighed, and when everyone went back to do business, Li Dongcai said: "Dad, Mom, wasn't the school physical examination some time ago, the physical examination report came out, it said that I seem to have hepatitis B, the teacher asked me to take my parents to the hospital to check, See if it's genetic."
"What hepatitis B? Son, is it serious?"
Hearing that Li Dong said he was ill, Cao Fang was in a hurry and didn't even bother to ask what hepatitis B was.
Li Dong hurriedly explained: "It doesn't matter. There are 100 to 200 million people in the country who have hepatitis B. The teacher just asked their parents to review it to see if it is inherited."
This is also Li Dong's helpless move. Anyway, his parents don't know what hepatitis B is, and they don't care if it is inherited or not, as long as his son is fine.
Li Dong wanted his parents to go to the hospital to check their health, but he knew that his parents would definitely not agree, and only through the teacher's mouth could he make them submit.
Nothing is more important than Li Dong these days. As long as Li Dong is good, they will do whatever they want.
Sure enough, Cao Fang didn't hesitate at all, and quickly said: "Okay, I'll go check in two days, son, it won't affect you, right?"
"It doesn't have much impact, you guys go check it out, then I'll just hand over the medical report to the teacher."
Cao Fang nodded and saw that Li Chengyuan was indifferent, Li Dong said again: "Well, tomorrow morning, you and Dad will go to the county hospital. The teacher is eager to ask for it."
"In such a hurry? Can I go away from your dad, let's take a day off..."
Before the mother could finish speaking, Li Dong said anxiously: "The teacher is in a hurry to ask for it, and the medical examination report will not be available at that time. If it is delayed, it will be troublesome if the college entrance examination is delayed."
Now Li Chengyuan and his wife have nothing to say, and take a day off every day. They can't delay his son's college entrance examination. This is a major event in life.
"Well, don't go to the stall tomorrow, I'll accompany you tomorrow morning." Li Dong breathed a sigh of relief after getting his parents settled, his parents' health was what he had been worried about.
Some time ago, I didn't think of an excuse, but I just found the reason, and sure enough, I persuaded my parents in a few words.
"You too? Then go to school tomorrow..."
"It's okay, you don't know what to check if I don't go. It's all review now, it's okay to delay the morning."
After speaking, before the two refused, Li Dong got up and said, "I'm going to school, you close the stall early today, remember to get enough sleep."
When Li Dong was gone, Li Chengyuan shook their heads and smiled bitterly. How much money should I earn this day off? It's really hard to raise a child!
