Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
It was a mid-August afternoon in Shencheng. The sun was scorching, baking everything it touched to a dry crisp. It made the concrete floor outside the Shengshi Residence seem to smoke.
The handsome 19-year-old He Xiaohui saw that Cao Su did not respond and continued, “Brother Cao, according to the rational consumption allocation of the typical rich, excluding real estate, tens of millions of assets have already been allocated to a million-yuan luxury car and a two hundred thousand yuan watch.
“After conversion, excluding fixed assets, your assets are about 50 million? Wouldn’t you be a little tight on funds to buy a villa in Shengshi Mansion?”
Cao Su smiled.
A young man was a young man, and he couldn’t keep his cool! He cut his own flesh with a small knife each time he opened his mouth, secretly tearing himself apart. Now that was rational consumption allocation! Hehe.
Of course, he also had to look at this young man’s strengths. He had probably been in the circle of wealthy second-generation heirs for a long time and had some survival skills. His degree of provocation was still acceptable. If he were to fall out with this young man now, he would get beaten up a few times at most.
Jiang Yingying’s car was parked on the curb outside the sales center. It was about 20 meters away, and they arrived the moment the conversation ended. If it weren’t for Cao Su’s words just now, she would definitely have asked the distinguished guest to wait at the door. She drove over.
It was an orange Bentley that the company had allocated for her.
Jiang Yingying saw He Xiaohui following her closely and suggested, “Xiao Chen, why don’t you take Mr. Cao’s car?”
The pure and beautiful Chen Wu, with her slender and curvy figure in a dark blue short-sleeved dress, replied, “Okay, Sister Ying.”
He Xiaohui glared at Jiang Yingying in displeasure. He had seen through her intentions! He didn’t know Cao Su’s identity and probed. He was not an idiot! However, a property saleswoman rarely had a good temper or patience.
“Chen Wu, take my car!” He Xiaohui invited with a smile. I just picked up a Porsche 911. It’s very fast. My mother gave me more than 200 yuan of pocket money.”
Of course, he knew that Chen Wu wouldn’t agree, but he had to say it out loud, mainly to compete with Cao Su! His tone was inevitably a little smug.
Firstly, he really liked this sports car.
Secondly, middle-aged men usually drove either a BMW or a Mercedes-Benz, or a low-key Volkswagen. His sports car should be enough to quash them.
Cao Su smiled lightly and took out the car key from his hand pouch. A sky-blue Bentley Speedster five parking spaces away lit up.
It was a classic British Bentley with an elegant temperament. Its looks might not be considered striking among luxury cars, but its grand opulence would instantly move hearts.
Coincidentally, there was a titanium grey Porsche 911 next to him.
He Xiaohui’s face instantly turned red. That was his car.
He nagged for a long time along the way, secretly mocking Cao Su. First, he said his pairing skills were poor, then asked if he was short of funds. Was that rational? In the end, he was instantly killed on the spot!
How could he not recognize the 2012 limited edition Bentley Flying Spur? The official guide price was 5.18 million. In addition to the selection and various taxes, it would cost more than six million yuan. It was equivalent to the cost of three 911s.
Most importantly, it was in front of the goddess he liked.
Cao Su looked at the embarrassed Little He and said to the two girls, “Let’s go! Ying Ying, Chen Wu, you two take my car.”
Jiang Yingying was glared at by Little He just now, and he naturally saw it. Jiang Yingying had offended someone for him, so of course, he had to protect her. This girl was very clever and knew how to determine the emperor’s intentions!
“Hehe.” She glanced at He Xiaohui, who was always bragging in front of her. Let’s see how far you can flex now.
The three of them walked towards the sky-blue Bentley.
He Xiaohui stood rooted to the ground. He looked at the backs of the three people and thought for a moment. He was too ashamed to follow them. He had to be thick-skinned to pick girls, but he knew that there was a billionaire in their midst today. What good could he do if he went up to her?
Let’s wait and see.
The Shengshi Mansion villa area was located in the Shencheng Bay area, just north of the Shencheng Talent Park near the sea.
The interior was indeed very large. The scenery along the way was beautiful, and there were many European-style villas. Under Jiang Yingying’s guidance, Cao Su slowly drove to a villa.
White wooden fences, a pointed maroon roof, and a lawn by the front door… in the middle of summer, the lawn was lush and exotic.
Jiang Yingying smiled as she got out of the car. “Brother Cao, let’s take a look at this villa first. It’s a fully furnished model unit. This is the largest villa in our Shengshi Residence. Two floors underground and two floors above ground. 867 square meters. There is also a temperature-controlled wine cellar below.”
“Alright.”
Cao Su got out of the car and followed Jiang Yingying and Chen Wu inside. He had a good chat with them in the car just now. Jiang Yingying had long seen him driving a Bentley, so she suggested that he drive Chen Wu.
The interior of the villa was decorated in a classical style. The European closets and wine cabinets were all designed with ingenuity, and every detail revealed luxury.
Chen Wu accompanied Cao Su as she listened to Sister Ying’s explanation. In the car, Sister Ying said half-jokingly, “Xiao Chen, Brother Cao saw Young Master He pestering you, so he personally asked you to show him the house. You have to put in your heart for this sale! Take me to get a nice sale, will you?”
Regardless of whether Brother Cao had feelings for her, he still helped her out of her predicament. Thus, she was still grateful to him.
Of course, her initial impression of him was quite good. He was not in a hurry to show off his achievements and chat with her. Instead, he was talking about the house with Sister Ying.
After looking around the room, the three of them stopped in front of the floor-to-ceiling window in the large living room on the second floor. “Little Jiang, how much is the rough price of this villa?” asked Cao Su.
The fair-skinned beauty, Jiang Yingying, smiled coquettishly and said, “Brother Cao, about 120 million. If you pay in full, we can offer a larger discount.”
Cao Su couldn’t help but laugh. “Who would buy a villa in full? What then would be the potential for appreciation?”
“Brother Cao, why are you asking me when you know what’s going on?” Jiang Yingying smiled. The housing prices in Shencheng would definitely rise in the long run. Moreover, Shencheng Bay was clearly listed as a key development and construction area in the next few years.
“If you purchase this property with a bank loan and under the premise of currency depreciation, you will definitely profit in the future.”
Cao Su looked at this fair and delicate beauty in surprise. “You know this?” It was a simple principle, but at least 30% of the young people in the country did not understand it.
In this year’s environment, there was no lack of bearish voices on housing prices. Many young people followed suit and kept holding off on their purchases, hoping to land a better deal.
However, for ordinary people, real estate was the safest investment to deal with currency depreciations!
Thus, the youth should secure a bank loan and buy a big house as soon as possible. The larger the loan and the longer the term, the better. That way, your hard-earned money would be able to keep up with the rate of currency depreciation.
It was only by chance that he understood this principle. There was an old employee who played football in the Da Lan Corporation. He came to Shen Cheng early and bought a house early. Ten years later, his monthly payment was 3,000. You could count the debts there yourself!
Chen Wu interjected, “Brother Cao, Sister Ying is a top graduate from Guangdong University of Finance.”
“No wonder!” Cao Su laughed. However, the appreciation potential of the villa was still not as high as a 70-year property. “How much is the commission for the two of you to sell Shengshi Mansion?”
“Xiao Chen and I both chose the most radical salary plan,” said Jiang Yingying. “Both of us get a commission of 0.8%.”
Cao Su nodded. “If I buy this large villa, your commission will be 960,000 yuan. I need your help with something. I have some funds on hand and am prepared to buy a house to invest in. Help me run some errands.
“Help me do a preliminary screening and deal with some trivial matters.”
Cao Su’s scheme was revealed. He had no intention of buying an investment house alone. When he came to Shengshi Residences to look at the house, he was still looking for help.
Jiang Yingying’s performance was not bad. He fancied this beauty.
Jiang Yingying understood what he meant and didn’t know whether to laugh or cry. All she could conclude was that the rich had many quirks! Just now, this Brother Cao had just admired the beautiful scenery of her snowy peaks and even nodded at her. He had openly taken advantage of her. He was a veteran LSP.
The prerequisite for buying a house was not for her to repay the favor. With such a high commission and Brother Cao’s request, she would probably agree after some hesitation. In the end, he wanted her and Xiao Chen to run errands for him for free.
Chen Wu was dying to take this order, and she looked at Jiang Yingying with a drooling mouth. This requirement was very low. It was better than asking to sleep with them. Even if Brother Cao took out a loan to buy a villa, he would still have to take out 36 million yuan. How much money would he have left to invest in a house?
Ten units at most.
It would be done in a few days.
Jiang Yingying also understood this and said happily, “Brother Cao, thank you for your trust in us. We will comply with your requests. How much money are you prepared to invest in real estate?”
“Five hundred million!”
How much? Jiang Yingying opened her mouth slightly and stared blankly at Cao Su.
Chen Wu was also confused, her watery eyes looking at Cao Su: “…”
The two of them were really shocked, speechless by the ridiculous amount. So the villa was the small blind, but the big blind was behind! At the same time, they regretted that they were still too young and agreed so quickly!
They were all real estate brokers, and this was the estimated number of 100 units. It was killing her. Were they in for a scam by this Brother Cao?
Cao Su felt that the two little girls ‘dumbfounded looks were quite cute, so he said confidently, “It will take at most a week for you to get to the ground. Let’s go. I’ll treat the two of you to a meal and chat while eating.”
