Honestly speaking, it was hard working the property market nowadays. It was hard to sell a property if the surroundings were not good, and the competition was tough—furthermore, property prices were not low.
In front of the huge floor-to-ceiling windows at the sales office were cloth sofas for customers to rest on. There were glass ashtrays and fruit platters on the coffee tables.
However, the property market was much worse than it was when Hong Dali had just transmigrated. There were only a few people in the lobby looking at the properties. As soon as Hong Dali entered imperiously with Gu Feifei, the sales staff immediately approached to greet them.
"Are you looking to buy a house?" A young, pretty sales lady greeted them amiably. She was respectful and had a sincere smile. Hong Dali liked her attitude.
"Yes, I'm just looking around." Hong Dali headed directly to the sofa, while Gu Feifei looked at the property model. It was obvious she was very intrigued by this backward model. The feeling was like a sniper who was used to sniper rifles looking at hand pistols used during the Second Sino-Japanese War.
"Sir, are you buying a nuptial house?" The sales lady looked around Gu Feifei twice, then asked with a smile.
The sales lady was stunned. Hong Dali hurriedly explained, "Don't worry, you can put that on my bill later. Well, this is my bodyguard. She has a bad temper."
"Ah, okay, okay." The sales lady sweated profusely and she carefully moved away from Hong Dali. Then, she asked in a small voice, "Then, Sir, you are looking for... We have affordable houses here, and also high-end and large houses..."
"Well, is there a house that is already renovated so I can move in immediately after I buy it?" Hong Dali was kind of lazy, so his first requirement for buying a house was that it should be fully renovated and decorated. Otherwise, he would be very busy if he had to get people in to do renovations after buying it.
Once she saw that Hong Dali was well off, the sales lady nodded quickly."Yes, I can recommend one that is practical and economical. It has good ventilation, is 88. 5 square meters, and is neatly renovated..."
"Is there a garage?" Hong Dali asked straightforwardly.
"Ah? This..." The sales lady froze for a moment, then shook her head."No."
"Recommend something else. I want a garage, " said Hong Dali.
"Then I recommend that you choose this 125 square meters one that comes with a garage." The sales lady started to recommend the higher-end."The layout is good and it's fully renovated. The garage is 48 square meters, it's big enough for two cars."
Generally speaking, a house like this was suitable for more well-off people, but Hong Dali clicked his tongue."It's still a bit small..."
"This is still too small?" The sales lady was a little surprised, but this was her field of expertise."I have another one that is about 150 square meters..."
"Too small, " Gu Feifei said while looking at the model."How will such a small house fit his wives? It needs to be at least... Let me count, one, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight... Eight rooms, 50 square meters each should do."
The sales lady opened her mouth wide in shock and turned to glance at Hong Dali, her eyes full of wonder.
She really could not figure out how this rich young master managed to get all his wives to live together harmoniously.
Generally speaking, it was not uncommon for a man to buy a house for their mistress. However, she had never heard of anyone who could house all his mistresses in the same house...
However, it was clear that the sales lady was in her element. Her IQ was quite high."Since you have such special requirements, Sir, let me ask my manager over..."
Well, eight wives required eight rooms. Each room needed to be 50 square meters, which would be 400 square meters. Including other necessary parts of the house...
Something that was 500 square meters was not an ordinary house anymore. Those were called villas...
"Well, no need to be so troublesome." Hong Dali first looked at Gu Feifei carefully, and then whispered, "My female bodyguard loves to joke, don't listen to her."
The sales lady nodded, then she was completely flabbergasted.
"One, two, three, four... fifteen, sixteen, seventeen, eighteen, nineteen, twenty..." Hong Dali held up his fingers and counted. First, he counted five fingers on his left hand, then five fingers on his right hand. After that, five fingers on his left hand again, and five on his right hand. Finally, he nodded vehemently."Twenty-five rooms, do you have anything like that? By the way, I need a bigger garage. It needs to be able to hold 17 or 18 cars."
Twenty-five wives!
Obviously, the sales lady's thoughts were in the gutter. She stared directly at Hong Dali, looking at him from top to bottom. When her gaze reached between his legs, she gulped—the young man must be very well-endowed!
"Yes! We do have something like that!" The sales lady herself was a little curious. She wondered what kind of man could conquer twenty-five wives, so she started looking at Hong Dali with slightly different eyes—He already had twenty-five anyway, another one would not make a difference...
"Really?" Hong Dali had no idea what the sales lady was thinking about. He was here purely to buy a house."How much is it?"
"We have a villa near the water. It's a three-story building with a garage..." At this point, the sales lady suddenly realized how hard it was to fulfill Hong Dali's demands. A villa with twenty-five rooms was not hard to find, the hard part was the garage. How big did a garage that could hold seventeen or eighteen cars have to be? That would be like half an underground parking lot. Who would dare to build such a large garage in an average villa?
"I better ask the manager to come over." The sales lady thought for a long time and finally surrendered."Sir, your request is a little special..."
"Go and return quickly." Hong Dali waved her away."I'm short on time."
Soon, the manager, wearing a professional-looking suit, came over with a smile. She glanced at Hong Dali and smiled. She sat close to Hong Dali, laughed and said, "I have heard about your requests, Sir. To be honest, there isn't really anything suitable for you at the moment. However, we have two villas that have not been sold yet. If you do not mind, we can help you to merge the two villas into one. As for the garage, we can try our best to allocate an area and build one separate from the house."
That sounded good.
Hong Dali nodded and said, "Well, okay. Where is the villa? Let me see what it looks like first."
"Sir, please follow me." The manager stood up and led the way. They soon reached the villa model. The manager pointed at two adjacent villas."This is it."
Hong Dali looked at them. They were two three-story grey and white buildings with a few hundred square meters of yard space. They were adjacent to the artificial lake in Water Creek. Their location and environment were not bad and there were special swimming pools in the yard. He imagined himself lying on the banks of the lake, surrounded by Xinxin and the others. He could raise dozens of Tibetan Mastiffs, Huskies, Chow Chows, and Samoyeds, etc. They could spend their time playing with the dogs and enjoying the lake, returning to the rooms for some happy time at night—this was what the Enjoyment Dimension should be like!
Hong Dali immediately became excited and asked, "Yes, not bad, not bad. How much are these two villas?"
The manager told him the amount with a smile."Total of 16 million for both villas."
Well, after all, they were stand-alone villas located in the best location within Water Creek. It was a reasonable price. To Hong Dali, 16 million for two villas was just a small amount. Money was definitely not a problem, the problem was that he did not have enough with him at the moment...
"Well, this property is really good and not too expensive, but..." Hong Dali rubbed his chin.
"Is something wrong?" The manager was indeed the manager. She did not ask bluntly if it was a money issue. Instead, she asked if there was anything wrong. That sounded a lot less abrasive.
"Kind of." Hong Dali looked at the two villas again. They would be suitable for a temporary home, but the problem was he did not have enough attribute points. He decided to check with the system first.
"Wait a while, let me think about it. Don't worry." Hong Dali returned to the sofa and began to ask the System."System, is there a time limit for this side mission? For example, can I come back tomorrow to buy it?"
System: "There's no time limit, but if the task cannot be completed within 36 hours on this dimension, it will affect the subsequent side mission's reward levels."
Well, at least he had an idea of what to expect. Thirty-six hours, that was more than enough time. Anyway, he would make sure to bring enough attribute points next time.
Since there was not much pressure, he would get a temporary den here first. Anyway, he was rich.
In the future, he would not only have a small den here. He would buy villas in Beijing and Shanghai. Whether it was Beijing, Shanghai, Guangdong, or Western Development, he would buy properties everywhere and have a place to stay wherever he went!
"Well, " Hong Dali opened his eyes, then looked at the manager and smiled, "simply put, I do not have enough cash with me. However, I can pay part of the deposit, and you can start reconstruction work first. How about that?"
Was it really money problems?
The manager thought about it but did not dare to immediately agree. Instead, she asked, "Then, may I know, how much do you intend to pay in advance, Sir?"
"How about 500, 000?" Hong Dali stroked his chin."Is this amount acceptable?"
Hong Dali's earlier show of ostentatiousness had turned into such a low-ball offer. 500, 000? If I reconstruct the garage and you change your mind, do I undo it? Was that amount even enough for labor costs? Enough for all the trouble taken?"Why, do you think I'm not sincere enough?" Hong Dali was not angry. He simply looked at her.
"Yes." The manager nodded, straightened up and said, "You only offered 500, 000 for us to start reconstruction works on a house that is 16 million. What if you change your mind? By then, the house would have been hacked and the garden redone. How will we sell it then?"
"Okay." Hong Dali nodded, and then said, "I understand."
He stood up and called out to Gu Feifei."Feifei, let's go. It seems it's not easy to buy this house."
"Oh, okay." Gu Feifei returned to Hong Dali's side, then looked at the manager and said, "You seem to have offended someone powerful. Hehe, this will be entertaining."
"Don't talk nonsense." Hong Dali shook his head and said, "They are just doing their jobs according to the regulations. It's not that serious. Let's go look elsewhere."
The manager said with a superficial smile, "Thank you for your understanding. You're welcome back anytime."
