Chapter 746: Big Courtyard, Bargaining
744
Zhao Huanhuan listened without saying anything. Although this mother-in-law was not very smart, she could at least understand the situation clearly! As long as the grandparents are around, the big house can always get more resources.
However, Zhao Huanhuan also felt that this was unfair to the second wife, so she could only quietly pay attention to and help He Tiantian in her future life.
Back in the house, He Tiantian was a little absent-minded.
"What's wrong?" Huo Yingjie asked, "Did what auntie just said make you feel embarrassed?"
He Tiantian calmed down and said with a smile: "It's not that it's difficult, it's that there is no other way! It's not impossible to open a store in Yanjing, but I don't have enough people. Uncle Qian and Uncle Sun, they are old, have low energy and I don’t want to leave my hometown.”
"Yes, that's right." Huo Yingjie nodded, "Wait a minute, let me see if I can find some demobilized soldiers for you. Some rural soldiers may not be assigned to good units, and some even I can only go home and work in the fields.”
He Tiantian nodded and said: "Okay, let's try our best to find them. By the way, Brother Zhang is a soldier, so maybe we can find one or two."
"Okay, I'll ask him too." Huo Yingjie said, "Okay, let's give the child a bath quickly and go to bed early. You are too tired today."
After the couple bathed their two children, they also washed and went to bed.
Because something happened, He Tiantian and Huo Yingjie got up early the next morning and left their children at home again.
Fortunately, Huo Ruixiang also had summer vacation and took his younger brothers and sisters to play in the yard.
When Huo Yingjie and He Tiantian arrived at Mao'er Alley, Lao Lian was already waiting there.
"Master, Madam, go inside." Lao Lian said, "I heard that this courtyard used to belong to a county prince. Some of it was divided up. Now there are only three entrances. But I have visited and the houses in the courtyard are in good condition. , it’s just that the house is not fully furnished.”
"Okay, it's pretty quiet here. Let's go in and have a look." He Tiantian said. She just asked someone that it would take about twenty minutes by car or forty minutes by bicycle to get to the Huo family's old house from here.
Not too far, not too close, just right.
The couple followed Lao Lian into a three-meter-wide alley. The alley was very wide, and it really looked like the grandeur of the former county prince's palace.
On the way, Lao Lian introduced the family's situation. His son went abroad and lost money doing business in the United States. He urgently needed money to pay off his debts and had to sell the house. Although it sounds like there is a rush to sell, the price is not low.
"This yard costs 420,000 yuan," Lao Lian said, "but the asking price is sky-high. We can settle down and pay back the money, and I think it can be reduced a little."
Four hundred and twenty thousand was half of He Tiantian's savings.
However, it is imperative to buy a house, no matter how expensive it is, because if you buy it now, you will not suffer in the end.
"That's good, let's take a look at the house first." He Tiantian was excited. She would soon have a property in Yanjing.
This time we are not only looking at housing, but also looking at front houses.
When we got inside, a fat old man came up to us.
Lao Lian introduced: "Uncle Cai, this is the buyer I found for you, Comrade He, Comrade Huo."
"Hello, come in and take a look at my yard. If you are willing, we can start negotiating the price." Uncle Cai was really in a hurry and couldn't wait to negotiate the price.
These houses have been checked by Laolian at the real estate bureau and they are not scammers.
He Tiantian believed in Lao Lian and said, "Okay, Uncle Cai, show us. If we are satisfied, we will negotiate the price."
As for the house, as long as He Tiantian likes it, Huo Yingjie won't say much.
The most important thing is that the money to buy the house belongs to He Tiantian, and Huo Yingjie has no shame to express his opinion.
As for the patent company he opened in Xiangjiang in the name of He Tiantian, it is still in a state of neither losing money nor making a profit.
It brings tears to my eyes when I say it!
As expected, he is not a business person, so he will try to make some good things to make money in the near future.
Uncle Cai walked to the front and said: "This is the front yard, with three wing rooms on each side. You are a big family, and it is suitable for the chef and nanny to live in. The middle courtyard is the main courtyard, with six main rooms and twelve east and west wing rooms. The yard is very large. "Big, you can make a garden or something like that in the future; the backyard is similar to the main courtyard, but it can be renovated. Look, this house is well-kept. It's not one of those big courtyards. It's a nice house."
He Tiantian and Huo Yingjie didn't say anything, but followed closely and watched carefully.
"It's nice outside." He Tian nodded, "Can I come inside and have a look?"
"Of course." Uncle Cai nodded, "The large pieces of furniture in the house are missing. They were burned and robbed by those people. Those are all good things! But there are still some small items. Better mahogany.”
He Tiandian nodded. She already liked this house. It was square and square. Although it had some vicissitudes of life, it was not damaged. It only needed a little renovation before it could be moved in.
"Brother Yingjie, what do you think?" He Tiantian asked, asking the head of the family.
"Yes, you can like it." Huo Yingjie said. In fact, this is not just three entrances. There is also a courtyard in the backyard, but there are only three rooms in it. The rest of the place is bare and there are some dead wooden piles. This The yard should have been a garden or something in the past.
Seeing that He Tiantian was in charge, Uncle Cai looked at He Tiantian with even more eager eyes and said, "You young people like flowers and plants. There is a moon gate in the backyard and an empty yard next door. You can change it to your own ideas. Want something.”
He Tiantian's eyes lit up, there was a swimming pool.
He Tiantian took a look around and was very satisfied.
"Uncle Cai, please tell me a real price. If you are satisfied, we will make the deal." He Tiantian said. She is also a business person and cannot let others bid for her.
Uncle Cai saw that He Tiantian wanted to buy and said, "Comrade He, my son is waiting for me to sell the house in the United States to pay off the debt. Otherwise, my son will go to jail. Otherwise, I will never sell this house. You see, my house is so good, and I am in a hurry to sell it. 410,000, just reduce 10,000."
"410,000?" He Tiantian frowned, it was still a little high, "Let's think about it again!"
He Tiantian tried to see if she could lower the price.
"Uncle Cai, your price is a bit high!" Lao Lian said, "Can it be cheaper?"
Uncle Cai was a little anxious when he saw this, and gritted his teeth and said, "The price is 400,000. If you don't agree, I won't sell it."
He Tiantian nodded and said, "Well, let's take a look first. After comparison, if there is nothing better than this place, I will consider this place."
Uncle Cai's expression was forbearing, but he was unwilling to lower the price again.
If the price is lower than this, my son will not be able to accept it!
"Okay, you go and have a look first." Uncle Cai, "But you have to be quick, I am in a hurry to buy a house. If someone offers the right price, I will sell it to someone else.
They are all smart people.
He Tiantian lowered the price by looking at other people's houses, and Uncle Cai also raised the price by saying that there were other buyers.
