I told the agent I was only staying for two days.

Having finally landed a huge deal, the middleman was even more anxious than Su Yehao, wishing he could force the sellers to nod and agree immediately.

They had agreed on a one percent commission with Su Yehao, meaning that as soon as the deal went through, he would get his hands on several hundred thousand.

Opportunities like this were hard to come by.

The agent, surnamed Zhang, had been in the business for four or five years, opening three shops in a row last year and this year to trade real estate, but he had never encountered such a large deal.

Before, some people from Hong Kong had come as a group to invest in real estate in Si Jiucheng, but with the economic downturn this year, such big clients had become rare.

And the house prices in Si Jiucheng were rising rapidly, the calls for them to fall were getting louder, and new houses were starting to be discounted.

In the eyes of the agent surnamed Zhang, Su Yehao's deal was simply a windfall from heaven, and he mobilized people door to door overnight, persuading them to agree quickly...

The next day.

After getting up early and drinking a bowl of millet porridge, Mr. and Mrs. Chu Jun sat opposite Su Yehao.

After bringing out his own wife, this second shareholder of Yinhai finally managed to drive in the Bentley he bought at a high price.

During the chat, it was learned that Chu Jun's father-in-law was among the first batch of businessmen to go into business, but he died of a cerebral hemorrhage four years ago, and the business was handed over to his children.

Chu Jun's brother-in-law took the lion's share, receiving most of the savings and two twelve-story office buildings in Chaoyang.

As for his wife, she got a foreign trade company that mainly did business with Japan, with an annual turnover of thirty to forty million, but unfortunately, too much money was tied up in goods. If she chose to save Yinhai, the foreign trade company's funds would be in trouble.

Su Yehao smiled calmly after listening.

He probably guessed that Chu Jun didn't have much faith in Yinhai's prospects before, so he was reluctant to use his wife's "dowry" to fill the hole, and instead chose to look for venture capital in Hong Kong.

In his forties, he could be considered successful, so there was no need to take too many risks.

At this moment.

Su Yehao asked with interest, "President Chu, the tariffs on your car must be very high in the mainland. How much did it cost to buy the car? I'll probably be in the mainland often in the future, and I'd like to buy a few more cars to make it easier to get around."

"I bought it in Japan. I happened to see it when I was visiting an exhibition. They said the company was having financial difficulties and was offering discounts, so I could use it to offset the company's taxes."

Chu Jun's wife spoke, continuing to smile:

"I saw this brand when I was studying in the UK, but few people in Si Jiucheng know about it, and it's often mistaken for a no-name brand. The tariffs were lowered in October, from 150% to 100% for engines over 3.0 liters, so I asked an agency to ship it over, which took a lot of effort. It cost me more than two million to buy the car, and more than two million in tariffs. I figured, instead of just paying the tax directly, I might as well enjoy it once and let Young Master Su laugh at me."

Su Yehao waved his hand and smiled, "Not at all. Businessmen do need to put on a show. For example, my dad's yacht, he doesn't even use it once a month. It's just sitting at the dock all day, and he only bought it to offset taxes."

Chu Jun said:

"I don't want a yacht. It's not something people like us can afford. Recently, various tariffs have been lowered in order to join the WTO, and the market has suddenly become active. General Motors of America, Honda of Japan, and Audi of Germany have all started building factories and putting them into production. I don't know if the WTO negotiations will succeed."

"It's bound to succeed. With such a large population, and such cheap labor and resources, how could Europe and America not be tempted by such a large piece of fat."

Putting down his spoon and wiping his mouth, Su Yehao added, "It's similar to the Four Little Tigers. Fatten them up first and then cut the meat. They've been playing this trick for years. It's just that whether they can cut it or not by then is another matter, haha."

……

The main reason why Chu Jun brought his wife today was to go see the houses with Su Yehao.

Yesterday, after seeing the Siheyuan (courtyard houses), Chu Jun was also tempted, and when he got home, he urged his wife to buy one for retirement in the future.

Loan policies are not yet open, and many regulations in Pengcheng and other places are ahead. Currently, you need cash in hand to buy a house in Si Jiucheng, but fortunately, you can use the company's name to get a loan. Houses worth tens of millions are a bit expensive, but a few million is still affordable.

Some time ago, Yinhai almost went from being valued at 100 million RMB to on the verge of bankruptcy. After experiencing great ups and downs, Chu Jun saw through many things, and now he no longer has the ambition to continue working hard, and is considering retirement early.

What he said before about handing over the burden to Lei Bu Si (Leibosi) was not a lie.

Just then.

Su Yehao received a call from the agent, Zhang, who told him in a hurry, "Little Boss Su! I guarded the door all night, and the seller finally agreed!"

"Oh, which one?" Su Yehao asked.

The agent, Zhang, said on the phone, "The one next to Shichahai, in the alley. There are a few households by the city wall who can't make up their minds. It's troublesome when there are too many people. Last night, they almost fought over dividing the money for the illegally built houses and whether to count it by the number of people. I advise you to buy this big one, it'll save you a lot of trouble. The landlord said you can trade anytime!"

"... Okay, I'll take another look. I'll be there in a while."

——————————————

Nowadays, most Siheyuan are inhabited by several families, and petty trivialities are constant. When it comes to matters of interest, it is indeed troublesome to deal with.

The troubles of this one next to Shichahai have already been resolved.

A total of nine households used to live there, but they all took the money and left in advance, and the courtyard was simply cleaned up, and the gate was repainted.

Su Yehao came to Shichahai again, thinking about finding some designers to create a new Chinese-style mansion. As for whether it was antique or in line with the traditions of building courtyards in the early years, he didn't care much.

Houses are, after all, for living in. Comfort and enjoyment are the most important things. If everything is antique, then the windows should be papered and there shouldn't even be electrical wires.

It is said that in order to clean up this courtyard, it cost more than ten million to persuade the original owners to move out. Four people joined forces to raise enough funds to treat the Siheyuan as a business, mainly to sell to buyers from foreign countries and Hong Kong and Casino, 1997.

Su Yehao just listened casually when the other party said this. Anyway, he liked it, and it was worth fifteen million, that was all that mattered.

After a quick discussion, he immediately called someone to draft a contract. His straightforwardness moved the agent, Zhang.

Chu Jun helped to inquire and learned that small courtyards of one hundred square meters nearby had recently been selling for more than one million. Considering that this one was as large as 1,800 square meters and was a rare large courtyard, the price was a bit expensive, but it was barely reasonable.

Nong Qingying followed the whole time, nonchalantly.

To be honest, she still didn't understand why Su Yehao would like this kind of classical old house, and even needed to park the car far away and walk to get here.

It felt like going back to the beginning of the century from a modern metropolis, but since her man had money anyway, she just went along with him and treated it as a vacation.

After the initial work was done, Chu Jun asked if the three houses next to each other on the city wall yesterday could be sold separately, and which one would be easiest to acquire.

This was none of Su Yehao's business.

Su Yehao was busy having the lawyer draft a contract, adding clauses such as no compensation to be demanded later, and a clean break with a direct buyout.

That night, he took Nong Qingying to a hot spring again.

The bank gave some free VIP services for renting a business jet, and Su Yehao had booked a flight for tomorrow afternoon, said to be a Gulfstream IV.
