Seeing Li Haochen's persistence, Wei Guoqiang felt it was a pity, but he couldn't force it, so he could only maintain this good relationship through small favors like waiving property management fees.
A few minutes later, the sound of ticket printing echoed, and the house now completely belonged to Murong Yanran.
The entire transaction process was so fast it felt like a dream. Zheng Xiyuan was so excited she was stunned. Had she just become a millionaire?
Luck was truly hard to explain. Look at Zheng Xiyuan; she never expected to sell the house, but the outcome was beyond her wildest dreams.
Therefore, don't be too deliberate in anything you do. The more deliberate you are, the less likely it is to succeed. Only by being dedicated and doing your job well will luck surely come to you.
"Manager Wei, please handle the necessary procedures for us. Notify us once the property certificates are ready. Thank you!"
"It's no trouble at all. It can be done tomorrow. Mr. Li, it's getting late. Would you like to rest here for a bit and have a simple meal? Is that okay?"
Although Wei Guoqiang was speaking to Li Haochen, his eyes were fixed on Xie Baolian beside him.
"That sounds good. I'm too lazy to go back and cook, so I'll trouble you. But please, no extravagance. Just a simple home-cooked meal. Give us a call later; we haven't had a good look at the house yet."
"Ah… that's wonderful! Rest assured, we understand the etiquette. You all please make yourselves comfortable."
Wei Guoqiang was overjoyed by Xie Baolian's reply. He had only tried it out of the blue and hadn't expected her to agree. This was a good omen. Building a good relationship would definitely bring good returns.
Actually, Xie Baolian agreed partly to consider Ling Hanfeng. After all, it was beneficial to have more interaction with good enterprises. As long as it didn't violate discipline, some things were just a matter of a word. Everyone benefited, so why not?
"Xiyuan, you stay here and see if Madam Ling or the others have any instructions. Make sure to host them well."
With that, Wei Guoqiang drove away in a hurry, likely to arrange the evening banquet. These were VIP guests, and he had to personally oversee things to be at ease.
Zheng Xiyuan was very grateful to Li Haochen and his companions. She led them with meticulous care, introducing the four-story villa in detail, covering its functions, brands of appliances, and furniture.
They had only briefly looked at one floor earlier. Now, after touring the entire house, they were truly impressed. The house was worth the purchase.
Firstly, the area. The four floors combined totaled 1888 square meters. Notably, the basement featured a wine room and tea room for receiving guests, a mahjong room for entertainment, a multi-functional audio-visual room, a gym, and a sauna. The high-level security system and the collection room were meticulously considered.
Outside, there were twelve open-air parking spaces to accommodate visiting friends and family, as well as a children's playground covering over a hundred square meters, making it an excellent spot for friends to bring their children or enjoy family time.
There was also a moderately sized swimming pool, simply perfect. Beyond that, there was a vast lawn below, large enough for a five-a-side football match. Outside the lawn was a lake, creating a perfect environment.
Such properties were undoubtedly rare among the rare. Even if not lived in, buying and holding them could yield a ten percent appreciation annually, though it also depended on local development.
After Zheng Xiyuan finished her introductions, she went outside to wait for further instructions. She dared not stand inside, for fear of overhearing any secrets she shouldn't.
"Mom, this house is nice, isn't it? You'll live here from now on. We'll come over on weekends when we have time."
"It's nice, yes, but with such a large house, wouldn't cleaning it be the death of your mother? Also, it wouldn't be appropriate for me and your dad to visit; we have to be mindful of gossip."
"Cleaning isn't a problem; there's housekeeping service. However, it is indeed inconvenient for you to visit. Let's just keep it for now; it's good as an investment, or you can move in when you retire and grow vegetables and flowers. That would be very nice."
The three of them chatted in the living room, and two to three hours flew by. At this moment, there was a knock at the door; dinner was likely ready.
Walking over and opening the door, Zheng Xiyuan said respectfully, "Mr. Li, dinner is ready. Please proceed to the banquet hall to dine!"
"Okay, thank you. Please wait a moment."
A few minutes later, the three emerged. The sun was setting outside, its afterglow casting onto the lake, and coupled with the beautiful surrounding scenery, the view was exquisite.
"I didn't expect it to be so beautiful."
"Yes, this scenery alone is worth over a million."
After appreciating the view for a moment, the three stepped into the waiting stretched limousine. It seemed Wei Guoqiang was quite thoughtful.
About ten minutes later, they arrived at the top-floor banquet hall of the sales center. Wei Guoqiang was already waiting at the entrance and immediately stepped forward to open the car door to greet them.
The opulent banquet hall was occupied only by the four of them. There were eight dishes and one soup. At first glance, they appeared to be ordinary home-style dishes, but in reality, there was more to them. All dishes were prepared using the "grass-covered pearl" technique, hiding precious ingredients. The four of them understood this implicitly.
The meal was thoroughly enjoyable for both hosts and guests, with mutual benefits gained.
Upon returning to the red brick compound, they were surprised to find Ling Hanfeng already back, which was unusual. He was usually either in meetings or out for research.
"Dad."
"Uncle Ling."
"Why are you back so early today? Have you eaten?"
"What, you don't like me coming back early? Haha!"
"Haochen, come and chat!"
Li Haochen and Ling Hanfeng went into the study and chatted about family matters before getting to the point.
"Haochen, I heard from Old Liu that the bamboo processing plant and the large coconut grove you invested in there have good prospects."
"They're alright. The coconut grove should have decent prospects. Bamboo processing is just so-so, as the market is saturated and difficult to expand into. However, it's good that it can drive the development of several surrounding villages." Ling Hanfeng took a puff of his cigarette and looked at Li Haochen with increasing satisfaction. "You're doing well."
"I was poor before. Now that I have some ability, I want to do something for my hometown."
Ling Hanfeng nodded and said, "I've been conducting in-depth research recently. Yuan City is a city with immense development potential. Its development has been hindered by some historical reasons, but that's in the past. Now is an excellent time for investment. Moreover, I'm planning to lead the construction of a highway connecting Yuan City and three other cities along the coast. You should consider it."
Ling Hanfeng's words stirred a storm within Li Haochen. He had learned about Yuan City; its geographical location was even better than Binhai, but its transportation was underdeveloped. If several highways were built, the development speed of this place would undoubtedly be like riding a high-speed train, and the fastest development would be in real estate.
