"I rember Uncle Wang has been to my house before, right?" Luofeng asked.
"Haha, of course! Last year, the year before last, and the year before that—I’ve visited each ti. Your dad and I go way back, and your Jiai has certainly helped our Ink Company a lot!" Wang Bozhao chuckled cordially. "Your family’s house really could use an upgrade!"
Ink Real Estate had a market value of just under 10 billion yuan. In terms of scale, it far surpassed the forr Jiai Construction Company. However, in this line of work, making friends wasn’t always about being opportunistic; or perhaps, people could see Luo Lin’s potential. A respected senior like him, given the right opportunity, was bound to achieve great success. After all, they had all made their fortunes around the sa ti. The reason Luo Lin’s progress hadn’t been slower was simply that he genuinely cared about his employees. And such a conscientious company just needed one big opportunity.
"Actually, it’s Jiai that should be thanking you for your consideration!" Luofeng said politely.
"No need to say all that; we just help each other out!" Wang Bozhao laughed. "Co on, I’ll show you our company’s exclusive housing resources. What size of apartnt are you interested in?"
"What’s the largest size you have here?" Luofeng asked.
"The largest, of course, is 520 square ters—a very auspicious number. Let take you to Building One first!" Wang Bozhao said. "I think Building One is in an excellent location! It’s on the far eastern side, with a direct view of Forest Park!"
"Alright then, let’s go take a look!"
Soon, they arrived at unit 3401.
When buying a house, those who truly understood such things preferred higher floors. Of course, that was if you weren’t solely concerned with economic value, wondering if mid-rise apartnts would be more valuable later. That line of thinking was purely about preserving value. Those who genuinely knew how to enjoy life didn’t think that way. Did wealthy people buy obscure car models without knowing their drawbacks? Of course not. They bought them simply because they liked a particular aspect of the car. So armchair critics, those ’keyboard car experts,’ would argue that for such money, one should buy a different car. But they were just brand-obsessed!
On higher floors, the view was better; floor-to-ceiling windows offered an unobstructed panorama of the entire city. Worried about waiting for the elevator? Please. If you chose an expensive unit, there were more elevators. While this ant a larger common area allocation, they were high-speed elevators that could reach the thirtieth floor in the blink of an eye.
Luofeng quickly entered through the foyer. Wang Bozhao began his introduction, "This apartnt is constructed entirely with eco-friendly materials, ensuring virtually zero formaldehyde residue. It features ten large en-suite rooms. The master bedroom and the primary guest bedroom also include walk-in closets. Additionally, there’s a study, a gym, a ho theater, a maid’s room, a children’s room, and an integrated dining room and kitchen area."
In recent years, newly designed large flats had beco quite luxurious. Private bathrooms for each room were almost standard. The focus was no longer on the size of the main living room or balcony, or the sheer number of bedrooms, as extended family visits had beco less frequent. Instead, the emphasis was on personal living spaces having ample and convenient anities.
"What about the price?" Luofeng asked after a brief tour of all the rooms, which took about fifteen minutes.
"Are you satisfied with the apartnt?" When it ca to sales, custor satisfaction with the property was paramount; if they weren’t satisfied, there was no point discussing the price.
"It’s quite nice!" Luofeng didn’t resort to the common tactic of deliberately finding fault with the apartnt to negotiate a lower price later. There was no need for that.
"This is one of my exclusive units," Wang Bozhao stated. "The internal price is 22,000 yuan per square ter. With an area of over 500 square ters, the unit price cos to around 11 million yuan. The furnishings cost roughly 8 million yuan, design fees were over three hundred thousand, and with other miscellaneous expenses, the total cos to around 22 million yuan."
Luofeng nodded silently. The price is indeed high, he thought.
Wang Bozhao continued, "If your family, Little Luo, decides to buy it, I can give you a discount. Knocking off one million yuan is possible. I’ll also throw in two parking spaces, worth three hundred thousand yuan. Your Uncle Wang is being pretty generous, right?"
Luofeng chuckled, "I have a car, and my parents each have one too. So, just two parking spaces... isn’t that a bit insufficient?"
Wang Bozhao laughed. "Your dad’s top-spec Panara is indeed impressive. How about this? I’ll give you one more parking spot."
"Hahaha! Uncle Wang, why not be even more generous and give us five parking spots? As for the price, 21 million yuan isn’t a particularly auspicious number. How about 18.88 million yuan? I think that sounds very lucky," Luofeng proposed audaciously.
"Get out of here, you little rascal! Are you trying to bleed dry? That’s too much!" Wang Bozhao exclaid with a laugh. "How about this: 19.99 million yuan? I’ll give you five parking spaces and add 88,888 yuan to your electricity card for good luck. Deal?"
"A little more off, please!" Luofeng pressed. Even though I’m wealthy and have a cashback card, who says rich people can’t haggle?
"Sigh... alright, I’ll throw in a 50,000 yuan fuel card as well. I’m practically at my limit here! If I end up losing money on this, I’m coming to your place for a free lunch!" Wang Bozhao grumbled good-naturedly.
"Alright then, shall we go process the paynt?" Luofeng agreed readily.
A 50,000 yuan fuel card? That’s still money! This is definitely a win, Luofeng thought, feeling he had co out ahead.
"Are you sure you don’t want to discuss this with your family first?" Wang Bozhao asked, sowhat surprised.
"No need. It’s just pocket money to !"
"And yet you still bargained so hard?" Wang Bozhao recalled the recent major projects Luofeng’s family had undertaken, feeling a touch of envy.
"Bargaining is enjoyable, and it’s like earning money! Making a good sum in just a few minutes makes very happy," Luofeng said with a broad smile.
Luofeng had a sound perspective on wealth. Even though his net worth exceeded six or seven hundred million yuan and he possessed a System, he wouldn’t spend money recklessly. He would buy necessary cars and enjoy appropriate luxuries. But spending lavishly just to show off, or avoiding bargaining rely to save face? That was definitely not his style.
Luofeng then spent the morning dealing with the paperwork for the apartnt from Ink Company. In the end, the property was registered under Luofeng’s na. Neither of his parents would object. After all, everything the family owned would eventually go to their son, so why go through the extra trouble of putting it in their nas first?
The 19.99 million yuan price tag was covered easily. Luofeng had about 10 million yuan in his personal account, and transferring another 10 million from the company was straightforward.
However, after using the Real Estate Consumption Card, Luofeng was able to draw for a cashback multiplier. This ti, the cashback he received was an incredible 40 million yuan!
