Although Li Chengyuan was tempted, he still hesitated. "This is such a big place. The rent should not be cheap."
"Why rent? Others might be jealous when their business becomes popular. Don't chase us out. Let's buy it!"
As soon as Li Dong finished speaking, Cao Fang stared at him. "You must have a lot of money!"
She knew that Li Dong was rich, but Cao Fang was not an ignorant village girl. She knew how expensive the shops on Changping Street were.
Changping was a famous food street. The restaurant in front of them was a storefront in the middle of the street. It had two floors and was about 500 square meters. It would cost at least 2 to 3 million.
Cao Fang was reluctant to spend so much money to open a restaurant.
Li Dong laughed. "Mum, it's not a loss to buy a house. Don't put all my eggs in one basket. If I buy this shop, I will have a way out if I have nowhere else to go. Don't you think so? "
"Bah!"
Cao Fang quickly snorted. "Child's words carry no harm. What nonsense are you talking about?"
Li Dong didn't mind. What he said was from the bottom of his heart.
He was not leaving a way out for himself. He was leaving a way out for his parents. The business world was like a battlefield. Who knew when he would be swindled. It was better to be prepared than to be unprepared.
Seeing his dad keeping quiet, Li Dong continued. "Do you know the shopping mall in Dongping? It was only 4 million. How much is it worth now? "
"I asked around at the beginning of the year. The property prices in that area increased by 40%. The shopping mall was bought less than two years ago. It is worth at least 6 million. Buying a house is also an investment. The property prices have been rising recently. Buying a house is more cost-effective than doing business. Don't you think so? "
Hearing Li Dong's words, the old couple hesitated.
They were not sure about other places, but the shopping mall Far away in Dongping had increased a lot.
The six million Li Dong mentioned was a conservative estimate. Actually, in the past two years, because of the existence of Far away, that area was even more popular than in his previous life. If Li Dong really wanted to sell it, people would probably be willing to buy it for seven million.
In addition, the property prices had been rising recently. In the end, Cao Fang said hesitantly, "Let's ask the price first. If it's cheap, we'll see."
Li Dong smiled and said, "Okay, I also have an appointment with the landlord, let's go together later."
…
Li Dong led them to the Cloud Song Teahouse not far away.
Lin Meng stayed until the end and reached out to tug at Cao Feng.
When Li Dong and the others were a little further away, Lin Meng said with a serious expression, "Tell me honestly, what does Li Dong do?"
She had asked this question before, but Cao Feng was a blockhead and refused to tell her.
At that time, although Li Dong drove a Benz and looked rich, when she went to the Li family for the New Year, Lin Meng found that the Li family's environment was ordinary.
At that time, Lin Meng thought that Li Dong probably had a small business, and the Benz was probably bought by pooling money to put up a front.
As for the house in Wanyuan, although it was good in the eyes of ordinary people, Lin Meng felt that the really rich would not live in Wanyuan.
In her opinion, if Li Dong was really rich, he should also live in Wanyuan Mountain Resort.
Cao Feng did not say it before, and Lin Meng did not ask.
But today, the conversation between Li Dong and his mother surprised Lin Meng. He bought a store worth millions just like that!
That was not all. According to Li Dong's tone, he also had a store in Dongping, which was worth at least six or seven million.
Calculating Li Dong's net worth, it was at least more than ten million.
This was what she saw. What did she not see?
Coupled with Zhou Haidong's behavior, it was obvious that he was the kind of bodyguard driver on TV. If he was a rich man, why would he need a bodyguard?
Lin Meng stared at Cao Feng, and Cao Feng said nervously, "Why do you ask? Don't have any ideas about Dongzi. He doesn't like people pestering him. "
"Go to hell!"
Lin Meng rolled her eyes and said angrily, "Who has any ideas about him? Can't I ask? Cao Feng, you and I have been dating for a long time. Is it fun to hide everything from me? I think you don't trust me. If that's the case, we might as well break up, so that you don't have to be so suspicious all day long. "
Cao Feng was anxious when he heard this. He scratched his ears and cheeks and said, "How can you say this casually? What do you mean by breaking up?"
Seeing that Li Dong and the others had already entered the teahouse, Cao Feng said helplessly, "It's not that I want to hide it from you, but I'm afraid that you will feel uncomfortable if you know what he does."
Although this was only part of the reason, Cao Feng himself did feel this way.
Every time he faced Li Dong, he would feel uneasy and extremely nervous.
The more he said this, the more curious Lin Meng became. She quickly said, "What's there to be uncomfortable about? I, Lin Meng, have seen all kinds of storms and waves. I have seen many rich people, but I have never seen anyone do anything to me. Tell me, what does Li Dong do? "
"My boss."
"Huh?"
Cao Feng mumbled, "Didn't I say it? My boss."
Lin Meng was a little confused. After a while, she said, "What do you mean your boss?"
"The boss of our company. Do you know Faraway Supermarket? It's opened by Dongzi. "
Lin Meng suddenly understood, and then she said in shock, "You mean Li Dong is the boss of Far Away?"
Before this, her understanding of Far Away was limited to knowing that Cao Feng worked there and that there were many branches Far Away.
However, because of her relationship with Cao Feng, she had done a few insurance policies Far Away and learned more about Far Away.
But this was not the most important thing. The key was that she heard a few days ago that the boss of Far Away and the boss of Guanghe Group had a fight.
It was said that the two families had smashed their cars and shops. Millions of dollars worth of things had gone down the drain.
The insurance industry was well-informed, and gossip spread quickly. At that time, Lin Meng was still lamenting that these rich people only knew how to waste money. It was better not to share the good things with them.
But she never expected that Cao Feng would say that Li Dong was the boss of Far Away.
Didn't that mean that Li Dong was the boss of Guanghe Group?
Thinking about how she hadn't seen Li Dong drive the Benz several times, Lin Meng suddenly realized that it wasn't for maintenance, but it was smashed.
Speechless, Lin Meng glanced at Li Dong's back and sighed, "I really didn't expect this."
Li Dong was too young. Otherwise, with Lin Meng's shrewdness, she would have guessed it a long time ago.
However, Li Dong's age was too confusing, and Lin Meng didn't think about it at all.
Knowing that Li Dong was the boss of Far Away, Lin Meng couldn't help but say, "Crazy, Li Dong is the boss, and you are his cousin …"
Before she finished, Cao Feng hurriedly interrupted, "Don't think too much. I'm already very satisfied with what I have now. You don't know Dongzi's temper. The more you ask for it, the more he won't give it to you. If you make him angry, you might not even have the good life you have now. "
Lin Meng looked at him, and after a long time, she said, "Is this what you mean by great wisdom looks like stupidity?"
Cao Feng smiled and said, "I'm an honest person."
Lin Meng chuckled. Seeing that Li Dong and the others had entered the teahouse, she let go of Cao Feng and followed them in.
…
Cloud Song Teahouse.
"You must have seen the restaurant, and you must know the price of the house in Changping. I won't say much about it. My shop is 227 square meters downstairs, and 242 square meters upstairs. If you didn't mention it, I wouldn't sell it at all. If you really want to buy it, the price is 3.6 million! "
As soon as the owner finished, before Li Dong said anything, Lin Meng couldn't help but say, "3.6 million, aren't you asking for a sky-high price?"
"Now the average price in Changping is only about 5,000. Even if you offer the same price upstairs and downstairs, it's only about 2.3 million. You asked for 3.5 million, and the average price is almost 8,000! "
The owner said unhurriedly, "Then don't buy it. I'm not planning to sell it anyway. As for the 5,000 you mentioned, that's Old Huang's history. This year at the beginning of the year, the property prices in Changping will increase. Go ask around, who would sell to you for less than 6,000 per square meter? "
"But you don't have to ask for so much!"
"Hehe, miss, my asking price is really not that high. The property prices are still increasing, and I don't have to worry about selling my shop in Changping. Just my annual rent is already 200,000. If it wasn't for your sincerity, I wouldn't even ask for a price. Do you believe? "
Lin Meng was a little embarrassed, and said, "This is not the only shop in Changping. I don't believe that no one will sell it!"
The owner laughed and said, "That's true. There must be people selling. But is their location as good as mine? Is their house as big as mine? "
Lin Meng wanted to say more, but Li Dong gently waved his hand and said, "Mr. Huang, give me a real price."
The owner glanced at Li Dong, then looked at Lin Meng and the rest. After a while, he said, "Let's not beat around the bush. 3.3 million. If you can't do it, then forget it."
"Rounding it up, it's about 3 million. It's at least 10% higher than the market price. Mr. Huang, take this money and spend some time to buy a shop similar to this one. I'm just trying to save trouble. What do you think? "
The owner glanced at Li Dong again. He felt that this person in front of him was really generous.
Actually, he really did not plan to sell his shop. The price he offered just now was just like what Lin Meng said. It was a sky-high price.
But Li Dong asked for 3 million. The owner could not help but be tempted.
Just as Li Dong said, if he was willing to spend some time on Changping Street and buy a shop similar to his own, the price would probably be about 2.7 million.
Even if he spent some time, it would not take more than three months. He could earn 300,000 in three months, which was much more cost-effective than renting it out.
The owner wanted to agree, but he was afraid that Li Dong would make fun of him.
After all, Li Dong was too young. Although Li Chengyuan and Cao Fang were not young, they had been doing hard work all these years. Their faces still looked weathered. They did not look like people who could take out so much money.
As for Lin Meng and Cao Feng, the landlord was a man who had seen the world. He could guess at a glance that they were two workers, but the one he couldn't see through was Li Dong.
Just when he was hesitating, Li Dong said again, "Cash on hand, what do you think?"
The owner's eyes flickered. He touched his chin and said, "I'm not doubting Mr. Li's financial resources, but there's something I have to mention. Old Zhang wants to transfer the shop. I can pay the remaining half a year's rent. But if you really want to buy it, you have to pay the transfer fee."
"How much?"
"50,000!"
"Okay, I'll pay it."
Li Dong nodded. Seeing the owner in a daze, he smiled and said, "Tens of thousands is nothing to me. I've said it before. I just want to save trouble. If it's convenient for you, Mr. Huang, let's handle the transfer procedures as soon as possible. "
The owner was stunned for a while and then said, "Tomorrow then?"
"Sure. Tomorrow at 10 am, Mr. Huang, bring your ID and we'll meet at the real estate bureau. Call me if there's anything. "
After saying that, Li Dong got up and said, "Mr. Huang, we still have something to do, so we'll take our leave first."
The owner felt like he was still sleepwalking. Li Dong was too easy to talk to. He didn't know if he should trust Li Dong or not.
Until Li Dong and the others left, the owner gritted his teeth.
Whether it was true or not, he wouldn't lose anything by going there.
If it was true, he would make a fortune. Recently, he had his eye on a shop in the city center. If he sold the house in Changping, he could buy a shop in the city center. It would be much better than in Changping.
As for whether Li Dong had heard some insider news about the price increase in the demolition of Changping, the owner didn't even think about it.
How could he not have any connections when he owned such a big shop in Changping? If there was such a thing, he wouldn't be the first to know, but he definitely wouldn't be the last to know.
As for why Li Dong was willing to pay such a high price, the owner was too lazy to care. As long as he didn't lose any money, it was fine.
…
After leaving the teahouse, other than Li Dong and Zhou Haidong, the others had similar reactions as the owner.
That's it?
He bought a shop worth 3 million just like that?
Cao Fang and Li Chengyuan felt that this transaction of a few million was much easier than selling a fish. In fact, it was even shorter.
A fish was only a few yuan, but this was the price of buying a house?
Cao Fang felt a little guilty and said, "Dongzi, aren't you going to take a look at the shop?"
"There's no need. The shop is there, and it won't go down in eight to ten years. As for the environment, we'll demolish it and renovate it. There's no need to look at it. "
Li Dong really didn't think that buying a house was a problem.
It wasn't that he was showing off because he was rich or poor, but as he said, as long as the house didn't go down, everything else didn't matter.
When negotiating with the owner, even if it was a hundred thousand or eighty thousand less, it would be the limit. Who knew how much time it would take?
With that time, Li Dong could earn enough money to buy a shop.
Far away, the 70 shops could bring him almost 50 million a month. That was more than a million a day.
It would only take two or three days to buy a shop.
Moreover, buying a house for 3 million was not a loss for Li Dong. The house price should be able to recover by the end of this year. After three or five years, he would make a small profit again.
Sometimes, Li Dong wanted to buy some houses and hoard them so that he wouldn't have to be busy every day.
However, after thinking about it, he gave up. Although he was busy now, at least he had the motivation and the will to work hard.
If he really bought dozens of houses and waited to die, that kind of life was not what Li Dong wanted.
Hearing Li Dong say this, everyone didn't say anything.
However, today's experience still brought a lot of shock to them.
Li Chengyuan and Cao Fang aside, Cao Feng and Lin Meng finally saw what it meant to be rich and imposing. It was also the first time they understood what it meant to be a rich person.
That aura, that elegance of spending money like it was dirt, that kind of life was simply the life they dreamed of.
If it were them, they could also say, "Three million it is, I'll buy it!"
Tsk tsk, just thinking about it made Lin Meng and Cao Feng intoxicated.
