Chapter 8: The Aunties Make a Stir
Aunt Chen sneered and said, “Fang Jian, this is the central area of the old city, and the average price is $39,000 per square meter, and it’s still unfinished.”
Fang Jian quickly calculated in his mind. If it was based on the average price, it would be less than ten million dollars. He could only dream of it in the past even if he worked hard all his life. But now…
Before he returned this time, he had transferred $50 million into his bank account. Even if he bought five units, it would still be affordable. With an open mind, Fang Jian wasn’t afraid of anyone investigating.
Soon, the salesperson brought the floor plans for the large unit. Fang Jian looked at them momentarily and instantly fell in love with them. This 256-square-meter unit had a spacious layout, with five bedrooms and a maid’s room. Of course, Fang Jian knew that his parents would never hire a maid. Moreover, the place was big enough for his younger sister to have some fun. Thinking about the current small three-bedroom apartment they lived in, which was only about 80 square meters, Fang Jian felt a bit bitter.
“When will the property be delivered?” Fang Jian asked.
The salesperson respectfully replied, “The main structure has been completed, and only the final few processes are left. It will be delivered in a maximum of six months.”
“Is it written in the contract?” Fang Jian asked.
“Yes, it’s all included in the contract,” the salesperson replied.
“Give me a copy of the contract template,” said Fang Jian.
“Sure,” the salesperson replied.
Although it was Fang Jian’s first time buying a house, he had seen many contracts like this. Although buying and selling gold differs from buying a house, there are similar pitfalls. However, with his experience in the former, he could navigate the latter quite well.
Besides, Fang Jian had also searched for information online before coming here. At least, he couldn’t see any obvious traps. The contract specified the delivery date, and compensation would be provided if there was a delay. As for quality issues…
That was hard to say, and Fang Jian couldn’t tell anything from the appearance alone.
“Now, which floors are available for the 256-square-meter units on the tenth floor or above?” Asked Fang Jian.
“There are still the top two floors, as well as the 13th, 14th, and 18th floors,” the salesperson replied.
Fang Jian frowned slightly, thought for a moment, and said, “I’ll buy the one on the 18th floor. Let’s proceed with the contract.”
The salesperson took a deep breath and said, “Alright, brother, I’ll get it done for you immediately.”
Aunt Chen stared at Fang Jian, her eyes filled with disbelief. Not long after, the salesperson brought the contract.
“Sir, may I have your ID card?” The salesperson asked.
Fang Jian took out his mother’s ID card and handed it over, saying, “This is my mother’s. Write it under her name.”
“Ah?” The salesperson was shocked but immediately began processing it. After a moment, he asked, “Sir, are you planning to apply for installments?”
“No, full payment. Are there any discounts…?”
Aunt Chen was completely shocked. She blinked her eyes until Fang Jian and the salesperson finalized the terms and made the full payment with his card. Only then did she truly understand. So, Fang Jian, this kid, really bought a house. Ten million yuan, and he paid in full. He decided to buy it, just like an ordinary person buying fruit.
The phone rang, and Fang Jian picked it up. It was his best friend from high school, Zhang Liang.
“Hey, Ah Liang, what’s up?” Fang Jian asked.
“Hey, buddy, you’re back and didn’t even say hi. Come over tonight. I’ll treat you,” Zhang Liang said.
Fang Jian chuckled and replied, “Sure, I’ll come over tonight.”
After making plans, Fang Jian said goodbye to Aunt Chen and left with the contract.
Aunt Chen pondered for a moment, stomped her foot heavily, and hurriedly left. Returning to the residential area, she saw several middle-aged women chatting under a tree. She immediately approached them and said, “Hey, guess what I just saw?”
“Aunt Chen, what did you see?” The woman asked.
“Aunt Chen, sigh, if I hadn’t seen it with my own eyes, I wouldn’t have believed it.”
The women’s curiosity was piqued, and they couldn’t care about their chat. They perked up their ears.
“I just saw Fang Jian, the son of the Shi family,” Aunt Chen said.
“Oh, what’s so special about seeing him? He came back the day before yesterday.”
“Yeah, Aunt Chen, your information is outdated.”
“That’s not what I mean!” Aunt Chen grew anxious and said, “I saw him at the sales office of the newly built community, and he even bought a house.”
“Oh, the old Fang family also plans to buy a unit in that community.”
“Yes, it’s Fang Jian who bought it. He bought the 256-square-meter unit on the 18th floor,” Aunt Chen said.
“Really? That must be over ten million yuan.”
“Yes, this floor is higher, surpassing the average price. It seems to be over ten million yuan, and he paid in full.”
“Wow…”
“The old Fang family has struck it rich.”
