Chapter 39: Purchasing the Apartment.
Chapter 39: Purchasing the Apartment.
"Hello, Jack?"" Stephanie expressed her surprise upon receiving Jack's phone call.
"Yes, ma'am, How are you?" Jack asked.
"I am good; what about you?" Stephanie asked back.
"Yes. Actually, I've called you for a reason. Are you free right now?" Jack sat back down on the couch after closing the door.
"Yes, we can talk right now. What do you want to talk about?" Stephanie asked.
"So,this apartment I am staying in. Do you know the owner personally?"
"Yes, he's an old friend, but why?"
"I want to buy this apartment, and I wanted to consult you about it," Jack said.
" What!!! That's an expensive place to buy." Stephanie was shocked.
"Yes, I know. It's expensive; I've saved up some money, so I was thinking about buying this apartment; it's in a very good location, and I like this place," Jack explained why he wanted to buy this apartment.
" Alright, It's your money; I am not going to say much about it. Could I reach out to Daniel and arrange a meeting at your apartment tomorrow?" Stephanie asked; she wanted to help Jack out.
"Alright, tomorrow when?"
" Morning? I'll text you, "
"Alright, I will be at home tomorrow," Jack replied, then ended the phone call.
After that, Jack went to his PC room and installed the game "Red Dead Redemption 2".
Emma, as usual, was busy preparing for dinner. Jack, on the other hand, was not that interested in studying anymore, so he started streaming.
His viewers were a decent amount—8K watching—and his stream title was "Here for a Long Stream," as Jack used to stream for a short time in his exam month.
"Your hair looks good; Ashley 679 donated 60€."
"Thank you so much. Maybe I should change the title because the game has been installed," Jack said excitedly.
Jack then changed his stream title to 'Playing Red Dead Redemption 2 for the first time,' which significantly increased his viewer count.
Jack was famous for his GTA 5 reaction gameplay; now, in RDR2, people wanted to see a genuine reaction.
At that time, Mockimane went live too, and browsing the twitch, she found Jack was live-paying. She had been anticipating this day for quite some time, as the drama they had previously produced had brought her significant financial rewards.
"Nice gameplay, but learn before you play—Mockimane donated 500€."
Jack, seeing the notification appearing in his stream, smiled bitterly. He was actually enjoying the game; his viewer count was 80K, and he was getting a lot of donations.
Jack ignored the taunting message and continued to play, on the other hand. Mockimane was biting her nails; her viewers were openly mocking her.
"Lol, he doesn't care. --Bluerod7 donated 40€."
"Look at his disgusted face; ahaha, I am dying—Princenotcharming donated 20€."
"This boy, how dare he ignore me?" Mockimane looked at Jack's stream with anger.
Mockimane was 26 this year, alone in the USA. She wanted some drama in her stream recently, as her stream was not getting that many viewers anymore.
Mockimane donated 1000€ with a message saying, "Little boy, let's play together."
This time, Jack paused the game, looked at the message, and replied on stream, "No."
With just one word, Jack ignored Mockimane and her three more messages after that he doesn't want a drama online; he has enough money; and he just wanted to relax after the first semester exams.
Mockimane felt so embarrassed in front of her viewers that she felt it was time to end the stream.
Her whole stream was an embarrassment to her reputation. If it were any other person, they might have taken the boon Mockimane was throwing, but Jack's need for money was almost nil from Twitch; he puts his Twitch money in his bank account to pay taxes.
After playing for 5 hours, Jack ended the stream; his peak viewership was 150K today, even though there was little to no drama at all.
After the stream, Jack was famished, so he went to the dining room and was not surprised when he saw there were two covered plates on the table.
Jack and Emma rearly eat together because it's kind of awkward. It's like both of them like each other but can't explain why they are not together.
Jack, after having the dinner, slept peacefully, as his PayPal balance today grew by 35K€.
The next day after breakfast, Jack waited for Stephanie and Daniel to come because he really wanted to buy this apartment.
At 11 am in the morning, both Stephanie and Daniel came. Stephanie looked like she was angry at Daniel; she sat beside Jack, and Daniel sat opposite them.
"Daniel, you're asking too much money," Stephanie angrily said.
"Well, Stephanie, it's not that much; don't be angry." Daniel tried to calm down the angry Stephanie.
"How can I calm down? You're almost robbing the boy," Stephanie said; it seems they were talking with each other about the price.
"1100 is not that much; you can ask around."
"Last week, I successfully sold the green buildings, including the third floor." The same company constructed both that building and this one, using the same technology. Position is almost the same; I've sold that apartment in 925 Per square feet, so asking 1100 is robbing." Stephanie was not giving up.
"Alright, I give up. What's your offer?" Daniel gave up and asked for a price.
"950€ per square foot, that's all you're getting," Stephanie said the final bargain price.
Daniel didn't answer; he pulled out his phone and did his math.
"So you're saying 3,277,500€ is your final price?" Daniel, after calculating, asked.
"Yes, that's the final price, if Jack agrees." Stephanie looked at Jack.
Jack thought he had to pay the 3.7 million euros, but it seemed Madam Stephanie was the boss after all.
"Yes, that's my final offer as well." Jack happily said his balance was almost 3.7 million, so paying 3.3 million was not a problem.
"Alright, deal," Daniel smiled and agreed.
"Your apartment's due diligence paper is with me, and tomorrow I'll finalize the registration with a notary." Stephanie said she was a professional.
"Jack, you have the money ready?" Stephanie asked.
"Sure, at any time, I'll pay from bank to bank," Jack smiled.
" Alright, In six months, you have to pay the registration tax, which will be around 400K€. You had to pay it upfront when you go for registration, but I can delay it with a little fine," Stephanie bragged.
Jack was actually impressed with this MILf; she was so cool. The property deals usually take weeks, if not months, but look at her, she can do this type of deal in the day's.
"Jack, I'll take 10K from you and 20K from Daniel as a payment for my service." Stephanie looked at both of them with greedy eyes.
Jack and Daniel, who both relied on Stephanie, had no choice but to accept the deal.
The following day, Jack was prepared as usual, waiting for the due diligence papers from Stephanie and the registration paper.
After both Daniel and Stephanie came, Jack looked at Stephanie; she looked professional and handled everything with professionalism.
"Sir, the parking lot is free, right?" Jack politely inquired as he was about to sign the registration form.
"Yes, it is. I've got an extra parking lot, just beside yours. You may have noticed the vacant parking lot; I'm willing to sell it to you for 100K€. Daniel said he was actually selling everything here.
"Alright," Jack said, 100K was not that much. Stephanie face-palmed herself.
She wanted to bargain with the parking lot too, but failed.
After both of them signed the registration form, Jack transferred 3,277,500€ to Daniel's account.
"The parking lot, which you just talked about, will take time, as it was not in the due diligence paper, and I've got to check the whole thing through and through," Stephanie said while giving Jack his copy of the registration paper.
"Congratulations" x 3
Three of them congratulated each other, with Jack becoming the new owner of the property, Daniel receiving a substantial sum of money, and Stephanie receiving her commission.
After Stephanie and Daniel left, Emma came out of her room. Emma was staring at Jack with a sense of terror; she knew he was now wealthy, but the idea of him purchasing a multimillion-dollar apartment was beyond her comprehension.
They talked for sometimes; Emma tactically didn't ask much about Jack's money, and Jack was not interested in explaining because he wanted to see his system interface. This time there was a huge sound in his mind after he paid for the apartment.
After lunch, Jack went back to his room alone, where he sat on his bedroom couch. He said, 'System'.

Jack was confused as to what this new function was; what is a skill card anyway?
Jack clicked and bought the card; a golden-colored card came into Jack's hand. He checked the systems in that Random Shop section.
