Chapter 55 Buying a house (asking for down payment!!)
Fuhua...
While driving, Lu Yao was actually thinking about his conversation with Xu Ruochu.
He must admit that the people Haihou introduced this time were very powerful, at least in the academic field.
If Wang Tianshu wasn't powerful, he wouldn't be able to get into the 32 schools.
In fact, this is the case with academic resources. Counting up the ancestors, each one has its own buddies, and picking them down one by one is like a tree diagram. Everyone is "related to each other".
And this kind of nepotism plays a huge role in the academic field.
To take the simplest example, as long as a high-tech paper has one great person sitting in the chair, then as long as other co-authors or co-authors can write someone's name, it will be a real achievement and merit. .
This is the same all over the world.
Of course, then again, science requires rigor, and everyone’s contribution to a technology, a paper, or a team is real. But there are also some people who are crazy and regard the paper as a credit book. What's more, they will add the names of their children to the names in the article... But those are the minority after all.
The Queen might just be able to do something with a little effort, but when it comes to him, if he can become a disciple of the old gentleman, his starting point will really be much higher than that of ordinary students.
He was very moved.
They even began to put aside their previous stereotypes and take a correct look at Fuhua’s scientific research environment.
Of course, this is somewhat biased.
He is not even a little transparent now, and he is not qualified to review at all. It is just an inner self-evaluation.
But every time he combined it with some memories from his previous life, when his heart moved, his father's appearance the night before yesterday would always appear in his mind.
"It's different! That's Qinghua after all!"
The tangible expectation on my father's face...
well.
He sighed secretly.
……
Hu Li asked Lu Yao to pick her up at Wanda Plaza.
After Lu Yao arrived at the place, he dialed the phone and the call was quickly connected.
"Are you here?"
The voice from Haihou was a little surprised.
"Well, we're here, Sister Li, where should I pick you up? The parking lot?"
"Uh... no, you wait for me on the side of the road, this side of Ximen."
Hearing this, Lu Yao looked at the boss's no-parking label and twitched the corner of his mouth:
"Then I have to go around in a circle."
"Well, I'll wait for you at the intersection now."
"Okay."
So, after Lu Yao followed the traffic around Wanda, he finally saw Hu Li and a... handsome guy who looked very Korean at the intersection.
The handsome guy was saying something to Hu Li, who was looking impatient.
Immediately after seeing the double flash of X6, she left the handsome guy and walked over quickly.
Lu Yao parked the car at the right time, closed the window, and unlocked the car. Haihou opened the passenger door and sat in. The handsome guy followed.
But his eyes were somewhat dissatisfied and hostile.
I don't know who the previous dissatisfaction was directed at, but the hostility was definitely directed at Lu Yao.
"Let's go."
Hu Li said, turned to look at this handsome guy, and waved his hand:
"Bye."
After saying that, he raised the window.
"Dong dong dong."
The handsome guy knocked on the car window, but Hu Li ignored it and continued to point to Lu Yao:
"Drive."
Lu Yao nodded and merged the car directly onto the main road.
But this time, the handsome guy didn't follow him, he just stood on the side of the road until Lu Yao couldn't see him.
Lu Yao naturally didn't ask any more questions, but said:
"Sister Li, where are we going?"
"Well...I made an appointment with them at 7:30."
And it's just past five o'clock now.
Queen Hai thought for a while and suddenly said:
"Shall we go see the real estate?"
"...?"
Lu Yao didn't react:
"Huh?"
But Hu Li suddenly became interested and said:
"Let's go, let's find an agent. But not here, go to Pudong, where the place to eat today happens to be. Let's buy a house."
"..."
Lu Yaoxin asked why your words "buy a house" sounded so harsh.
But he still nodded and went crazy with these ladies:
"Okay."
The car drove all the way to Pudong, and Lu Yao's goal was tentatively the Fortune Garden.
From his perspective, Fortune Garden is actually quite in line with his preferences in terms of layout and scenery.
During this period, Hu Li's cell phone text messages rang several times.
She only glanced at it when it rang for the first time and ignored it at all other times.
When the other party called, she hung up immediately, and then said:
"Crazy."
Lu Yao continued to remain silent.
But after Hu Li finished speaking, he turned to Lu Yao and said:
"I had nothing to do in the afternoon. He asked me to watch a movie, so I went to watch one."
"Uh..."
"It's called "The Secret Love Story of Chanel"... It's so ugly. Originally, I wanted to watch "Toy Story 3". He insisted on watching this one... Really, my good mood is gone."
"Then why didn't Sister Li tell him?"
"Give him face. If a man invites you, just follow the process arranged by him...it doesn't count as an invitation."
Suddenly she changed her words.
"Just being idle and bored, I just came up with it at the last minute... It's not good to watch anyway. Hey, how about we go watch a movie... Well, forget it, we don't have enough time..."
Lu Yao finally discovered it.
She really said that wind is like rain.
That's called randomness.
Soon, the two passed through the tunnel and arrived in Pudong.
Lu Yao looked left and right and found a real estate agency:
"Sister Li, is that agency good?"
"Okay."
Hu Li nodded, Lu Yao stopped the car, and they walked out together.
Because the purpose was obvious, a male agent opened the door directly after seeing it:
"Hello, are you two looking for a house?"
As he spoke, he looked at Lu Yao.
Lu Yao nodded slightly, and Hu Li had already walked in first.
Lu Yao was a little surprised by his first words after entering:
"I want to find a rough house of about 150 yuan, which is decorated enough to live in. I don't want a second-hand house that others have lived in. It's right here in Pudong, and I want one with a better view..."
The agent didn't mention it, and Lu Yao almost thought he heard it wrong.
In his concept, Hai Hou even has to live in such a big suite in a hotel, but when he buys a house, he only buys 150 square meters that is two and a half times the size of his own house?
So "small"?
After the agent heard about it, he immediately asked someone to give the two clients water, and then sat in front of the computer and began to clarify Hu Li's needs.
Haihou was obviously interested now, and started chatting with him about her needs.
Things like "it's best to see the river", "the house shouldn't be too old", "it must be comfortable"...
It's very quantitative.
As for the intermediary's rhetoric, after asking many questions, there is actually only one core, and that is to capture the psychological price of the customer.
After asking around, the agent directly asked Hai Hou how much she budgeted for.
Hai Hou’s answer is also quite straightforward:
"Budget doesn't matter, as long as I like it."
As soon as she said these words, Lu Yao clearly felt that the air around him was getting warmer.
These agents looked at Hai Hou with hot eyes, and they looked at him with equally hot eyes.
I guess there was a misunderstanding...
Lu Yaoxin said, sister, if you buy things this way, how many pitfalls will you suffer in society?
It’s so straightforward. While I was thinking about it, I suddenly heard Hai Hou, who had been chatting for a while, say:
"Is there such a small apartment in Fortune Garden?"
"?"
Lu Yao was stunned and looked at Hai Hou.
Hai Hou also subconsciously turned to look at Lu Yao.
Strangely enough, when the two of them looked at each other, Lu Yao knew what she wanted to express.
So, he thought for a moment, turned around and walked out of the real estate agency, walking a little further, dialing Xu Ruochu's number and lighting a cigarette for himself.
"Dudu... Hello? Lu Yao, what's wrong?"
"Mr. Xu, Sister Li wants to buy a house. I brought her to the agency. She wants to buy a house of about 150 square meters. Do Fortune Gardens have such a small house?"
"...Buy a house?"
Check out the 16-9 book bar and see the correct version!
Xu Ruochu's voice was also a little surprised.
"Yes."
"Hmm...I'm not sure. I'll ask the property management person to contact you."
"Okay."
After hanging up the phone, Lu Yao waited for more than a minute when a strange call came in:
"Hello Mr. Lu, I am Xiao Chen, the manager of Fortune Garden Property Asset Services Department..."
"Hello, Mr. Chen. It's like this..."
Lu Yao stated his request.
Don't tell me, it's true.
There are a total of six buildings in Fortune Garden. The apartments in Building 1 where Xu Ruochu is located are the largest, about 330 square meters, while the apartments in Building 5 are the smallest, with 165 square meters, which meets Hu Li's requirements.
It is almost consistent with Hai Hou’s requirement of “around one hundred and fifty”.
And there are indeed owners who are selling and leaving information on the property.
Manager Chen asked Lu Yao if he wanted to contact the owner directly. Lu Yao thought about it and said that he would communicate with him later.
After putting down the phone and finishing his cigarette, he was about to walk in when he saw Hu Li and that buddy had already come out.
Seeing Lu Yao, she said:
"Have you finished calling Xiaochu?"
"Well, I've already asked."
In front of the agent, Lu Yao didn't make it clear.
But Hu Li understood, but didn’t say anything. Instead, he said to the agent:
"Get in our car. Let's go look at houses."
When Lu Yao heard this, it seemed that Haihou had no intention of getting rid of this intermediary.
The agent nodded with a smile on his face.
It seems that Haihou has a strong intention to buy a house.
Especially after seeing the X6 driven by Lu Yao.
After seeing Hu Li get into the passenger seat, the agent naturally sat in the back and said to Lu Yao:
"I'll give you the address..."
"No need."
Lu Yao shook his head and drove directly to Fortune Garden.
In the car, the agent kept saying how nice this house was... and when they were about to arrive, the agent said to Lu Yao:
"You can stop at the entrance of the basement for a moment. I'll talk to the security guard and we can just park the car directly inside the basement."
"Uh... no, I can go in directly."
The agent was stunned, but Hu Li directly dialed Xu Ruochu's phone number:
"Come to Building 5 and take a look with me."
At this time, the intermediary's confidence in speaking was suddenly a little lacking, and he asked tentatively:
"Miss Hu, we...we have friends living here?"
"Yes, it's in Building 1. At first, I didn't know that the place she lived in had such a small apartment."
"..."
The agent's mouth twitched.
Apparently, like Lu Yao, he felt that this "little" was a bit harsh.
But he also seemed to know that the house had sales information in the community property, and his expression became a little worried.
Lu Yao, who was driving, could see clearly.
Especially when I saw the X6 arriving at the parking lot and the railings were lifted directly, my expression became even stiffer.
When Lu Yao followed the signs to Building No. 1, he found that Xu Ruochu had already arrived and was waiting at the entrance of the basement lobby.
"Hello, beauty, we meet again."
Hu Li opened the car door with a smile and got out of the car.
Xu Ruochu, who was wearing a set of sportswear, asked with some confusion:
"Aren't you going to eat? Why do you want to buy a house?"
Hu Li waved his hand indifferently:
“I’m a little tired of staying in the hotel.”
"Then why don't you just stay at my place? Ruochen's place is still vacant..."
Hearing this, Hai Hou was speechless and just gave her a look to let her understand.
Then, she asked the agent to swipe her card to open the door.
He led the way in.
Because there are "locals", there is no need for an intermediary to introduce you.
Only then did Lu Yao know that Buildings 2, 3, and 6 in this community were in the first phase, while Buildings 1 and 5 were in the second phase.
And unlike Buildings 2, 3, and 6, which are fully furnished and ready to move in, Buildings 1 and 5 are all rough.
Hu Li smiled happily after hearing this.
Intermediaries are increasingly worried about gains and losses.
Hu Li's next operation left him and Lu Yao speechless.
After the elevator arrived, she walked around the rough house and nodded:
"Well, yes. That's it, Lu Yao, leave him a phone number. Tomorrow, handsome guy, you contact the owner, and he will go over and sign the contract."
"Huh?"
The agent was confused.
Obviously, he didn't realize...that the order, which was closed within five minutes of viewing the house, could go so smoothly.
But immediately it was ecstasy.
This customer actually didn't let the real estate agent pry the order, and...it went so smoothly! ?
Nod quickly:
"Okay, okay, no problem. Then... Mr. Lu, what time will it be convenient for you tomorrow?"
He said as he took out his phone.
Lu Yao was also speechless and glanced at Xu Ruochu subconsciously.
However, the other party didn't say anything. He just looked at Hu Li walking around on the balcony, seeming to be thinking about something.
He thought for a while and said:
"How about earlier, 8:30?"
"Then let me communicate with the owner first?"
"Okay."
"Well, wait a moment, everyone."
The agent quickly walked out and made a phone call.
As soon as he left, Xu Ruochu asked:
"Someone is looking for you?"
"No."
Hu Li smiled and shook his head:
“I’m just tired of staying in hotels...”
As she said that, she looked around and seemed to be in a good mood and said:
"Well, as expected, a home should be smaller to be warmer."
"..."
"..."
Lu Yao didn't know what Xu Ruochu thought.
But when he heard this, he was completely speechless.
You call this small?
Are you afraid that you have some misunderstanding about Xiao?
Is this called small? ? ? ?
