Chapter 119: Chapter 96 buying a house (1)

“You’re not bad yourself. Including the harvest this time, it’s about ten million taels. ” Xiao ran said. “I haven’t even warmed up the money in my hands, don’t mention how sad I am.” Little Zhou asked in confusion. “Why didn’t Daren help you purchase the medicinal pills?” “You can ask him yourself.” Xiao ran said. Brother Xiao, you have so much money on you, what are your plans?” “Buying a house.” “Don’t you already have three houses? You still want to buy more?” Little Zhou was shocked. “Money will only depreciate in our hands, but houses won ‘t. There are so many people in Beijing, and countless people want to settle down here. House prices would only rise, not fall. Buy some more around here, break down the walls, and find some craftsmen to beautify it. It’ll be more comfortable to live in. ” Xiao ran said. “That’s true! It’s only money when it’s used. ” Little Zhou nodded. He was even more impatient than Xiao ran. “There’s no time to waste, let’s go now. ” “Alright,” he said. Xiao ran responded. He left the courtyard and walked toward Xin Yiya. Xinyi teeth shop had more resources in this generation of Jingwen Lane and had a lot of houses on hand. He explained his purpose here. The owner of the broker warmly invited the two of them into the VIP room. He served them good tea and even had snacks to serve them. “Do you really want to buy the ten houses near 98?” The boss confirmed again. Xiao ran’s house was No. 98, and on his left and right were No. 97 and No. 99. “Yes.” Xiao ran nodded. “The houses there aren’t cheap, and there are still people living there. They don’t have any plans to move out in the near future, so I’m afraid they’ll have to pay a premium to buy the houses nearby.” “Money is not a problem. I only have one request, and that is to get this done as soon as possible.” Xiao ran said. “I have a suggestion here, you might want to listen to it.” The boss said. “You already have three houses. If you buy ten more houses nearby, you will have bought more than half of the Dragon Lake. If you have enough money on hand, I suggest you buy the nine houses near the Dragon Lake. In this way, the little Dragon Lake will be your private lake. You can build a wall around it to surround the little Dragon Lake. ” “Little Dragon Lake?” Xiao ran was puzzled. “Yes.” The boss explained. “Little Dragon Lake was originally built by a first rank high official at a great cost. The water source was connected from the other side of the ornamental River. The scenery is beautiful, and it can cultivate one’s spirit. Unfortunately, with the fall of this first rank official, the little Dragon Lake has also become deserted and no longer has its previous reputation. ” “According to what you said, how much would it cost to buy 19 houses and the little Dragon Lake?” Xiao ran asked. The boss was holding an Abacus. Thunderclaps sounded as he began to calculate. After calculating three times, he put down the abacus and said seriously,””It’s about twenty-one million taels. I’ll round it down to twenty-one million taels,” “My brother Xiao is a big customer. He bought so many houses at once, including the little Dragon Lake. Is there no discount at all?” Little Zhou interrupted. “Sir, it’s not easy for us either. We still have to make the people living there move away and then buy them at a premium. All of this will cost money ...” Xiao Zhou interrupted him. “Don’t act pitiful. We’re all born and raised in the capital. We know everything about the situation here. Just tell me if there’s any discount, if not we’ll go to another shop. There are so many dental shops, and you’re not the only one who can do this. ” “There’s really no way to lower the price by too much. We don’t earn much. However, we can help you transform Little Dragon Lake and let it regain its former magnificence. Then, we can send people to break through the 22 courtyards and build a wall to connect Little Dragon Lake and the courtyards together. ” The boss showed his utmost sincerity. “Brother Xiao, what do you think?” Xiao ran looked at the owner of the Ivory shop.”When can this be done?” “Seven days! I’ll definitely get this done in seven days at most. ” The boss of the teeth shop said after calculating. After paying a deposit of five million taels, the broker wrote a receipt. He sent the two of them out enthusiastically. Xiao Zhou said,”brother Xiao, do you have that much money?” Why don’t I go back and ask my father to lend you some?” “It’s just enough to buy a house, but I’ll have to be thrifty in the future. ” Xiao ran said. He had earned about ten million taels from this trip to Qingzhou. In addition to the wealth he had accumulated previously, he could just gather the money. Xiao Zhou was envious.”Brother Xiao, you have to treat us! The drunken immortal court is a Dragon, so let’s play as much as we want. ” “Aren’t you afraid that your father will get the news and come to the drunken immortal court with a stick to stop you?” “You’re right! Then let’s go to chunfang court, I don’t believe he can stop me. ” Little Zhou changed his words. “Alright! Go back and get Milord and Chen wenheng from Long Yuan Academy. I’ll go and get old Bai and old Zheng to gather together. ” Xiao ran said. “Yes.” Little Zhou left eagerly. The capital was very large and had a total of four county offices-South City, North City, East City, and West City. The positions of the four county magistrates were not high or low. However, the South and North District offices were undoubtedly more prosperous, and all the people living there were high officials and nobles. Xiao ran’s house was in the south of the city. Taking out his identity token, the bailiff at the door saw a blue blade guard and respectfully saluted. “I’m looking for Bai Zhanyu,” Xiao ran said. Bai Zhanyu was Lao Bai’s full name. “Sir, please wait a moment. I’ll go in and pass on the message.” The bailiff said. Very quickly. Lao Bai strode out from inside. From a distance, he opened his arms and hugged Xiao ran,””Brother Xiao.” Xiao ran took a step back.”I’m not into this.” Lao Bai was stunned for a moment before he turned around.”I was too impetuous.”
