Ren Xiaosu and Yang Xiaojin walked around the house.
The house was clean and tidy, except for the old-fashioned decor and the moldy corners. Everything else was in good condition.
It could be seen that the old couple liked to tidy up.
The old lady said with a smile, "The neighbors are all young people now, and they're easy to get along with. You don't have to worry."
Ren Xiaosu glanced at Yang Xiaojin. Yang Xiaojin was standing under the peach tree in the yard and staring at the crown of the tree in a daze.
He immediately said, "How about this? I'll buy it."
The landlords were all surprised. "You're buying it just like that?"
"Mhm." Ren Xiaosu nodded.
Everyone thought Ren Xiaosu would make a counteroffer or something. However, Ren Xiaosu did not do such a thing at all and looked very generous.
Ren Xiaosu could tell that Yang Xiaojin liked this place very much. They had been homeless for too long, and he also wanted to give Yang Xiaojin a stable home. So he decided to skip all the other procedures.
Although he was greedy, he was never hesitant when it came to spending money.
"But everyone, I don't have Fortress 178's currency with me. I've only brought gold with me. Do you think we can use gold to exchange for the price of the house?" Ren Xiaosu thought to himself that he had plenty of gold to spare.
With his ability to plunder gold, he could afford to support Yang Xiaojin no matter how much of a prodigal she was. Moreover, Yang Xiaojin was not a prodigal at all.
The old lady's eldest son seemed to be shocked by Ren Xiaosu's willingness to pay in gold. Although the house was not worth much, it was indeed rare to see someone willing to pay in gold.
The other party thought for a moment and said, "It's not a problem to accept gold. After all, gold can be used anywhere these days. It's just that I need to verify the authenticity of the gold. It's not that I don't trust you, but that this is how the world works."
Ren Xiaosu nodded. "I understand, but where are you going for the test?"
"From the looks of it, y 'all must've just arrived at Stronghold 144. Fortress 178's bank allows you to directly exchange for gold at market price. They have a specialized service to handle gold transactions. As there are more merchants coming and going from different places, this service was set up to facilitate transactions." The old lady's eldest son said, "And they don't even charge any handling fees."
Ren Xiaosu was surprised. "That's very convenient."
It seemed that in order to make the Northwest prosperous, Zhang Jinglin and his group had put in a lot of effort to facilitate trade. They also had a deep understanding of what merchants needed.
He took out a few gold bars. "Then go. I'll wait for you here."
The old lady's eldest son was surprised again. "You're not coming with me? Aren't you afraid that I'll run away with so many gold bars? "
Ren Xiaosu smiled and said, "Aren't your parents still here? Where can you go? Hurry up and go."
The young man took a deep look at Ren Xiaosu before turning around and leaving.
When Ren Xiaosu arrived at the yard, he asked, "Do you like it here?"
Yang Xiaojin said, "I've always wanted to have a small yard like this. I can see a noisy crowd not far from home and enjoy a peaceful world when I get home. Xiaosu, I'm a little tired. We've fought our way from Luoyang City to the Kong Clan, then from the Kong Clan to the Pyro Company, and then from the Pyro Company to Mount Zuoyun. It feels great to have a peaceful place like this to rest."
"Mhm, then let's have a good rest here. After we buy a house, we'll go grocery shopping together," Ren Xiaosu said with a smile.
"Aren't you afraid that everyone will get worried if they can't find you?" Yang Xiaojin chuckled and said, "You're the Young Marshal of the Northwest now. A lot of people are waiting to see you, and Mr. Zhang probably wants to have a chat with you as well. In the end, you went into hiding after doing such a big thing in the Central Plains. "
"Don't worry, I'm not the center of the world. They can still spin around without me," Ren Xiaosu said.
After a while, the young man who had gone out to exchange gold returned. He placed more than 2,000 yuan on the table and said, "The gold market price has risen again today, so we still have some money left over after we buy the house."
Ren Xiaosu happily put the money into his pocket. "Then let's transfer the deed."
The agent at the side took out the contract. According to the contract, Ren Xiaosu was supposed to pay the agent a commission. The process of buying and selling houses in the Northwest was relatively simple. The agent just had to give the deed to Ren Xiaosu. Tomorrow, Ren Xiaosu would take the deed to the Administrative Centre to register it, and everything would be settled.
After everything was settled, the old lady's eldest son hesitated for a moment and said, "I think the two of you have just arrived here, right? Are you here to do business?"
Ren Xiaosu nodded. "Yes, why?"
"My name is Ma Youjin, and this is my business card." The old lady's eldest son introduced himself. "I have some connections in the local area. If the two of you have any business that you want to cooperate with, you can look for me."
When Ma Youjin saw that Ren Xiaosu was generous and forthright, he wanted to make friends with him.
After all, it would be a good idea to be friends with someone who was so straightforward in paying money these days and could even give out several gold bars in one go.
Ma Youjin was a businessman to begin with, so he liked to make friends the most.
Ren Xiaosu took the business card. "Project Manager of Yunsu Trading Co., Ltd.?"
Ma Youjin smiled and said, "Yes, I'm in charge of the lipstick business in the company. Now that I've been valued by the higher-ups, I'm in charge of all the lipstick businesses in the Northwest."
"Lipstick?" Ren Xiaosu wanted to laugh.
"Young man, have you heard of our company?" Ma Youjin asked.
"No." Ren Xiaosu shook his head.
At this moment, Ma Youjin said with a hint of pride, "Then let me introduce you to our company. Our Yunsu Trading Co., Ltd. is now the number one import and export company in the Northwest. In terms of strength, no one would dare claim to be number one if we claim to be number two."
"That's amazing," Ren Xiaosu praised sincerely.
"But that's not the most amazing thing." Ma Youjin's tone became mysterious. "Do you know who our boss is?"
"I'd like to hear the details," Ren Xiaosu said.
"Our boss is Wang Fugui, and he's also a very influential figure. Even the commanding officer of Stronghold 144's garrison, Zhang Xiaoman, is very polite to him and even addresses him as Uncle Fugui." Ma Youjin's face lit up.
Ren Xiaosu had a strange expression on his face. When he saw the name "Yunsu," he felt something was off. However, Wang Fugui did not have the chance to tell him about setting up the company, so he did not know Yunsu was actually Wang Fugui's business.
Honestly, Ren Xiaosu did not expect Wang Fugui to become the biggest businessman in the Northwest in just a year.
Moreover, the company's name was "Yunsu," so it was obviously another business for Ren Xiaosu to earn money.
Back then, Wang Fugui had said he was just a manager, while Ren Xiaosu was the boss. Ren Xiaosu did not expect Wang Fugui would still think the same way and act the same way.
