Chapter 524: Selfish Overseas Investors
The cost of building this house is about 400,000 yuan. According to the construction standards, if it is placed in Mo Village, it should be 300,000 yuan.
If the construction is stopped now, no matter what level of construction, according to the contract, the aunt will need to pay liquidated damages.
These investors are only thinking about the domestic situation and are trying to solve the problem by acting rogue. They relied on their overseas status and the slow efficiency of work in Tu'ao, so they were confident.
“Look at your construction speed. You have the nerve to ask us for money. If this were done in China, it would be built in one month...”
"That's right, if I had known, I would have found other companies to build houses. We only take care of your business because we are all compatriots."
"They say that fellow villagers cheat fellow villagers, and I am in tears. This That's absolutely true."
A few aunts and uncles complained as they walked. They saw that Chen Xi and Shen Xinyi were young and felt that they were easy to bully.
The workers thought that the other party was going to use violence, so they immediately gathered around and stood behind the two of them, which made those people calm down.
“Our construction speed is probably unparalleled across Australia. What are you going to do now? Let us continue with the completion, or pay liquidated damages? The official documents from Tu’ao have not been released yet. , it is still unknown whether we can continue to borrow money in the future. For the sake of all of us being compatriots, we Let's sit down and talk calmly and try to minimize the losses for both parties. There is no point in making trouble. To be honest, we have been in Tu'ao for so long and we don't know many official people here. If your hometown still messes with us, haha..." Chen Xi crossed his arms and looked at those people and sneered.
His words made the elderly veterans turn pale. These people had not stayed in Tu'ao for a long time. In fact, they didn't know much about anything, let alone know anyone.
“I just want to reduce losses now. There are rough houses in China, but it’s different here in Tu’ao. How did I know that it needs to be renovated before it can be sold? We plan to do it ourselves. Just put it on and sell it..." A few people sat on the lure in front of the house and chatted for a while, and the aunt told the truth with some grievance.
Chen Xi was amused by these people's ideas. Decorating by yourself would really save money.
No wonder I can’t wait to stop the project, because interior decoration is simpler than building a house.
These people are all from small places. They are the kind of people who accidentally made a little money and want to invest overseas. With limited eyesight, Chen Xi was too lazy to meet them.
"Why are you telling him this? Now think about how to solve the problem." A middle-aged man glared at the talkative woman with dissatisfaction.
“Your idea is to obtain mortgage loans and then acquire land for real estate speculation. To be honest, this method is currently somewhat unfeasible based on your financial resources.”
“We I know, that’s why I’m preparing to sell the house now.”
Hearing Chen Xi’s words, the uncle became a little impatient.
“You think things are too simple. The house is not yet completed. It’s impossible for you to step in and do it yourself. You don’t even have the approval from above. What are you thinking about? After the house is built, "Do you still need to check from above? This is not a country. Some things need to be determined according to local conditions. How much do you plan to sell this house for?" Chen Xi pointed at the House in front of him.
"Young man, I have something I want to talk to you about alone." The aunt rolled her eyes, stood up and waved to Chen Xi, indicating that he should go to the house to chat.
"What are you doing? You can't talk in front of us if you have something to say?"
"That's right, sneaky."
The people brought by the aunt are here shouted from behind.
Half an hour later, the aunt opened the door and ran out excitedly, while Chen Xi stood at the door and lit a cigarette.
"Quick, quick, quick, we met the boss, go in quickly..." The aunt pulled everyone aside, and then shared the good news in a low voice.
The expressions of these people ranged from impatient to confused, then excited, and then they also ran into the house in a hurry.
Although Shen Xinyi and the workers were puzzled, they did not come forward to disturb them. They just stood outside and waited quietly.
Because there were more people in the room, it was relatively noisy. Shen Xinyi could hear a few uncles shouting from time to time, seemingly talking about the price.
She subconsciously thought that Chen Xi had already reached an agreement with them and was now negotiating the amount of liquidated damages.
But the more Shen Xinyi listened, the more she felt something was wrong, because laughter actually came from the house. How could anyone be happy about losing money?
"Come on, let's go, Boss Chen. I'll take you there now. Just take my car." After a while, the door was opened. The uncle who had yelled the most fiercely before was smiling broadly. He invited Chen Xi out.
"Chen Xi, what's going on?" Shen Xinyi pulled him aside and asked in a low voice.
"You'll find out later. Come with me first." Chen Xi stopped the other party from asking any more questions.
After saying that, he asked Shen Xinyi to get in the car.
"It is said that you rely on your parents at home and your compatriots when you go out. This is absolutely true. Boss Chen is young and has so much business overseas. He is really the pride of us Chinese people. Can the price be higher? I I also want to keep my capital. My house is much better than those of them." Along the way, the uncle kept praising him, and then the conversation changed to money.
"Let's read it first and then talk about it. If it's really good, I can add a little bit to you. But you can't tell others."
"I understand, I understand."< br>
Hearing this, the uncle nodded quickly and stepped on the accelerator harder, eager to reach the destination immediately.
"Wang Juan, we will still lose money at this price. Why don't we raise the price with him or find someone else to take over?" Someone in another car asked the aunt who entered the house first.
"Where can I find someone to take over? You think I don't want to. Besides, haven't you heard what he said about his job? People think that we are Chinese talents who want to help, so we can't push the envelope too much." Wang Juan looked weird. countered.
"What nonsense are you talking about? He is not your son. Why are you talking to him like this? We are the same."
"I'm just telling the truth. What's the matter? That’s not right...”
“I’ll wait until he sees the house before raising the price.”
The people in the car were noisy, discussing how to minimize their losses. .
In just over ten minutes, the car arrived at the location.
The location is southeast of Jones Park, not very far away. There are many Sakura people living in this area, as can be seen from the sushi restaurants that can be seen everywhere on the streets.
In Tu'ao, there are many sushi restaurants, which are better sold than in China. Gui Lao can still accept cold food. Chen Xi has developed this habit after staying here for a long time. In winter, he will also buy a piece of refrigerated sushi and an ice drink.
The house I looked at this time is larger than the two houses just now, and there is a park that is more than ten times larger than Jones Park in the north. There is an elementary school next to it, which is more suitable for living. The location is quite good.
"How about it? I didn't lie to you. Give me a little more and I won't tell them." The uncle said in a low voice.
Only now did Shen Xinyi understand that Chen Xi was talking about liquidated damages just now. He clearly wanted to buy a house.
Isn’t this about being a receiver?
"Chen..." "Xinyi, we'll talk about it later if we have something to do. Let's take a look at the house first and try to get everything settled before night." Chen Xi interrupted her and chatted and laughed with her. The uncle walked inside, leaving only Shen Xinyi standing there.
She thought that Chen Xi was paying for it out of his own pocket and wanted to help the company solve its difficulties, and she couldn't help but feel a little complicated in her heart.
"The location of my land is excellent. It is even more prosperous than the place just now. Look at the office buildings under construction in the south. If I sell it in a few years, I will definitely make a lot of money."
< br>"Don't you think that the house prices in Tu'ao will only fall but not rise in the future? Why do you want me to wait for a few years to sell?"
The uncle's boast was not affirmed by Chen Xi. , he scratched his head in embarrassment, and then said: "Everything in the world is fickle. You said it yourself, the loan is not yet certain. We plan not to come here anymore. You can still observe the market dynamics. Haha. Look at my house, it's 800 square meters..."
After the sun went down and everyone left, Shen Xinyi stepped forward and grabbed Chen Xi.
“You don’t need to do this. This is the company’s loss and you don’t need to subsidize it personally.”
"Ah? You misunderstood. I didn't use my own money to help the company plug holes." Chen Xi was amused by her words. He pointed to a sushi restaurant in front of him and motioned to eat and chat there.
"You're overthinking it. I'm not stupid enough to pay for it out of my own pocket." After sitting down at the sushi restaurant, Chen Xi said while drinking oolong tea.
“But haven’t you already done this?”
“They think house prices will fall, so they want to get rid of the mess, but I don’t think it is a mess.”
“Do you think house prices will rise? I dare say in other places, but the population here is only a small, I think it is good if it does not fall.”
"Kaicun is a tourist city with the Great Barrier Reef next to it. Many people come here every year, especially people from the Sakura country. Housing prices will continue to rise, but there is a highest point. I just need to sell before that highest point. And it will be fine." I'm different from them. I have high-end customers. Local people won't buy those well-decorated houses, but that doesn't mean rich people won't buy them." Chen Xi put down his teacup and started to taste the Sakura cuisine.
"But how do you know when the highest point is?" Shen Xinyi blinked her big eyes and looked at him in confusion.
“Why do Kaicun attract so many tourists? That’s because there are world-famous attractions such as the Great Barrier Reef, Heart-Shaped Reef, and Moore’s Outer Barrier Reef...”
The Great Barrier Reef (TheGreatBarrierReef) It is located on the northeastern coast of Queensland, from the Torres Strait in the north to the Tropic of Capricorn in the south. It stretches for a total of 2011 kilometers and is 161 kilometers at its widest point. The Great Barrier Reef is the largest and longest coral reef group in the world, with 2,900 large and small coral reef islands. The natural landscape is very special.
In recent years, the Great Barrier Reef has faced serious ecological and environmental problems, mainly due to the impact of climate change. Rising seawater temperatures have led to frequent coral bleaching. According to statistics, the Great Barrier Reef has lost more than half of its coral.
The Union Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO) has added the Great Barrier Reef to its World Heritage in Danger list to draw global attention to its conservation status.
Turkish and Australian officials have successively taken a number of measures to protect the Great Barrier Reef, including establishing no-fishing zones, reducing agricultural and industrial pollutant emissions, improving water quality, banning logging, and reducing land development, all for the purpose of protecting the Great Barrier Reef. local environment.
In other words, this series of measures taken by Tu’ao officials in the future will reduce the number of houses in Kaicun. According to Chen Xi's memories in his previous life, housing prices in Kaicun once soared. Based on the current price of houses, it will almost rise to more than 7 times in the future.
But as the environment of the Great Barrier Reef, Heart Reef, and Moore's Outer Barrier Reef gets worse and worse. Tu'ao officials have issued stricter controls. For example, due to the uniqueness and fragility of the Heart-shaped Reef, in order to protect this natural landscape, tourists can only watch it from aircraft and are not allowed to enter the water.
Moor's Outer Barrier Reef is one of the largest and most beautiful living coral barrier reefs in the world. The water here is clear, the visibility is high, and there is abundant marine life. It is a paradise for diving enthusiasts. However, in the future, these diving enthusiasts were prohibited from diving.
A series of measures led to a significant decline in tourists, followed by a fall in housing prices. However, no matter how much it falls, it will still be several times higher than the current house price. Therefore, Chen Xi will definitely make a profit by buying these houses.
Besides, he also has Jackie Chan, Jet Li and other wealthy people who only buy luxury homes, so it will not be difficult to sell them.
"Why would they sell the house to you? If you suddenly take over the house, won't they feel there is any problem?" Shen Xinyi asked again after listening.
Because those uncles and aunts look like difficult characters at first glance.
"Of course it's not that easy to convince. You saw on the road that these people are not working together for their own interests. I first promised to give Aunt a higher purchase price than those people, and then used I sent aunts to divide them. The most important thing is, they asked me why I took over these houses that no one wanted, so I made up a lie and revealed that I wanted to make money by buying a house..."
"Gee, you are really good at blowing and washing rice. Do they dare to collect this black money?" Shen Xinyi was amused by his words.
“These people don’t care about where the money comes from. They took the money and invested it elsewhere. And when they heard that I was doing business, they didn’t even look at me. It's the same, didn't you see how respectful they were to me just now?" Chen Xi wanted to laugh when he thought of those uncles and aunts who were yelling fiercely before and then turned into good children.
This rice washer knows people in both black and white. Their investors who are alone overseas are most afraid of this kind of person.
"These people are so hateful, and it's so good for them to be so cheap." When Shen Xinyi thought of that aunt, she clenched her fist angrily.
“Don’t worry, the prices I offered are all very low. They calculated that everyone will lose money. If they don’t sell it to me, they will just lose it, because the house hasn’t been built yet, so they won’t sell it at all. If I don’t go out, I’ve made a big mistake. In fact, there are better ways to deal with it, but I don’t want to spend so much energy on these villains. I just want to deal with some troublesome things quickly.”
"Hey, I've been talking there for a long time today. Seeing that you didn't speak for me, I thought you didn't want to take care of this matter. It turns out that you already have a solution, but you still make me so angry. You are really bad. !" Shen Xinyi said coquettishly.
“This part of your communication with them is indispensable, otherwise it will not be so easy to negotiate later. People are like this. When negotiating, you must make them feel that you have taken advantage of them, and this will end well. ." Chen Xi comforted and affirmed her efforts today, which made Shen Xinyi feel better.
“This is a gift, please use it slowly. You two are Chinese, I guess. The ingredients in our restaurant are all sashimi and sushi made from freshly caught sea fish that day. They are absolutely authentic and fresh. In” At this time, the boss suddenly served several dishes.
“Thank you.”
“Thank you.”
The two nodded to the boss.
"Are you two tourists? I would like to ask you for a favor. This is my niece. She disappeared recently. If you see her, can you let me know." At this point, the boss's face showed There was a hint of anxiety.
"Boss, it would be best to call the police for matters like missing persons." Chen Xi took the A4 paper and looked at it. On it was a pretty-looking little girl, who might have just grown up.
"The police have been called, but no one has been found, and my niece is not the only one missing."
"More than one?"
Shen Xinyi covered her mouth in surprise after hearing this.
She didn’t expect to encounter missing persons in Tu’ao in reality.
"Well, the missing people are all our Sakura countrymen. The police searched around the area and found nothing."
"Then you can ask your embassy for help. ." Chen Xi made a suggestion to his boss.
“It’s useless, they don’t care about it.” The boss curled his lips.
Thank you for your monthly votes and recommendation votes
