When he arrived at the main entrance of Dawn of Prosperous City, Manager Yang of the sales office was already waiting outside.
"Boss Pei, welcome!"
"I didn't expect our community to catch your eye. I'm really flattered."
Pei Qian was too embarrassed to tell the truth in the face of the enthusiastic Manager Yang.
He came completely for the strange layout of this house.
Pei Qian found this house by chance. He immediately liked it after seeing the layout. Then, he asked Assistant Xin to contact here and confirmed that he would come to see the house today.
The sales office naturally attached great importance to Tengda's current reputation in Jingzhou and arranged for Manager Yang to come to receive them.
"Boss Pei, shall we go for tea first or go directly to see the house?" Manager Yang asked.
Pei Qian's eyes did not leave the strange cylindrical building as soon as he got out of the car. "Let's see the house first."
Manager Yang nodded. "Alright, follow me."
Pei Qian followed Manager Yang into the community and glanced at the surrounding residential buildings.
There were many residential buildings in Dawn of Prosperous City, and most of them were square and normal. They were no different from other normal communities.
Only this building, this proud and aloof cylindrical residential building, was so unique and unconventional.
It was located in the center of the entire community, and there were the words' Dawn of Prosperous City 'on the roof, showing its high status in this community.
If it was the first time someone who didn't know anything came, they might really be fooled.
However, Pei Qian had done sufficient research.
This building had one unit per floor, an area of 248 square meters, five rooms, three halls, and four bathrooms. There were a total of 12 floors, and the floor height was higher than ordinary residential buildings, reaching 3.6 meters.
From the layout, it looked like the circular mosaic pattern when there were no programs on the television station.
Pei Qian had seen many strange houses when he looked at online posts before, such as runway houses, sewer houses, toilet houses, warship houses, and so on.
It was an eye-opener and a breathtaking sight.
Pei Qian's heart was itching to buy it. Unfortunately, the post did not indicate the name of the community where these houses were located. There was no way to find it.
Moreover, it was most likely not in Jingzhou.
As a second-tier city, Jingzhou's housing prices were not high compared to the rest of the country. Developers were not very short of land, so the probability of creating such strange houses was not high.
Generally speaking, it was the kind of super first-tier cities where every inch of land was worth its weight in gold. When building a building, the utilization of space was squeezed to the extreme. Only then would it be possible to have all kinds of strange apartments.
However, hard work pays off. After searching repeatedly, he finally found the 360-degree lighting "The Rising Sun" apartment near the company.
This type of apartment did not seem to be the only one. Many other cities, such as Beijing and Shanghai, also had such apartments. The area ranged from 200 square meters to 400 square meters. The circle was getting bigger and bigger.
As for why …
Who knows?
Maybe the big boss of the developer thought that rich people would like this type of apartment …
The characteristic of this type of apartment was that it looked beautiful but was not practical at all.
In terms of landscape, it was indeed not bad. But imagine if a house's living room, bedroom, study, and so on were all irregular shapes. How much of a pain in the ass would it be?
This kind of room meant that the space utilization rate would be very low. Although it was said to be 240 square meters, in reality, it was not much different from a normal 200 square meters room.
What's more, no matter how beautiful the scenery was, people would get bored after looking at it for three days. Most people bought houses to live comfortably and for practicality.
The original price of such a house was about 15,000 yuan. Because it did not sell well, it was now reduced to 12,000 yuan. Even so, the price of a house was about 3 million yuan.
For ordinary rich people, wouldn't it be good to buy a large flat with 3 million yuan?
In simple terms, the current situation of this house was that rich people did not like it and the hipsters could not afford it.
All the other buildings in the neighborhood had been sold out. Only this building was still up for sale on the internet.
The developer would not be happy if the price was reduced too much; the buyer would not be happy if the price was reduced too little.
Therefore, he was embarrassed.
However, it perfectly met Pei Qian's needs.
He had his own unique needs and did not have to compete with others. That was also a kind of happiness!
Manager Yang led Pei Qian to the high-rise model room and began to talk glibly. He bragged about how awesome the view was and how grand the entire apartment was.
Of course, Pei Qian did not listen to a word because he knew very well that 90% of it was a lie.
Of course, there was no need for him to argue with Manager Yang. After all, he was not the one who was haggling. It was Assistant Xin.
Pei Qian walked around for a while and felt that it was not bad.
This was a house of more than 240 square meters after all. There were 360-degree windows, and it was well-decorated. No matter what, it was better than the ordinary rental house he was living in now.
This house did not sell well, not because of its poor quality or its shortcomings, but mainly because of the layout, which caused the price-performance ratio to be too low.
There were too many better choices at the same price.
The more Manager Yang tried to introduce it, the more Pei Qian was sure that this house did not seem to be easy to sell.
Since that was the case, he had to buy it!
Manager Yang and Pei Qian's needs turned around and magically matched again.
Half an hour later, Manager Yang's mouth was dry. He stopped to drink some water and observe Boss Pei's expression at the same time.
He could not see anything.
On one hand, Boss Pei seemed to have completely seen through his words and knew the situation of this house; on the other hand, Boss Pei seemed to be very interested in this house …
Two contradictory expressions appeared on Boss Pei's face at the same time, so Manager Yang did not know what he was thinking.
Pei Qian thought for a moment and asked, "So far, how many households have lived in this twelve-story house?"
Manager Yang's heart skipped a beat.
Oh no!
Boss Pei had asked such a sharp question right off the bat!
In fact, only three units of this house had been sold so far, accounting for a quarter of the entire building.
Moreover, these owners regretted it and wanted to sell this house second-hand.
What was the intention of Boss Pei's question?
Could it be that he had already seen through the current situation of this house and deliberately asked this question to hint to me that this house was not popular and he wanted to take the opportunity to lower the price?
Manager Yang struggled for a while, but he did not dare to lie because such things could not be hidden.
"Don't worry, Boss Pei, our houses are still relatively sufficient at present. You can also choose which floor you want …"
Manager Yang decided to take a detour.
Pei Qian frowned. "I'm asking how many units have been sold."
Manager Yang found that he really could not fool him, so he had to tell the truth. "Three."
"Boss Pei, our house is originally high-end. It is normal for ordinary people not to be able to afford it. These three owners are local successful people in Jingzhou. Of course, they are still far from you, but … "
Pei Qian raised his hand and interrupted Manager Yang.
"Please inform these three owners that I intend to buy their three households as well. I hope they can move away as soon as possible. I can help them pay for moving."
Manager Yang: "?"
He was stunned for a moment. "Er, Boss Pei, our new houses on other floors are for sale. You don't have to …"
"Wait, Boss Pei, you mean …"
Manager Yang showed an extremely shocked expression. He had correctly understood the meaning of Boss Pei's words, but he did not dare to confirm it.
Pei Qian nodded. "That's right, I want this entire building!"
Manager Yang was dumbfounded, and tears glistened in his eyes.
At this moment, Boss Pei's figure seemed to emit light, reminding him of a savior.
…
…
In the afternoon …
Pei Qian was drinking tea leisurely in the office when Assistant Xin returned.
It seemed that after an afternoon of negotiations and negotiations, the three parties had reached a preliminary consensus.
"Boss Pei, the three families were originally very dissatisfied with this apartment, so they all agreed. With this money, they can move to a new house. They can't be more than happy.
"You said that you hope they can move out as soon as possible, so we arranged a moving company for these people and reimbursed them for their hotel accommodation while they are looking for a house.
"As for the price, the average price of the house is 12,000 yuan, 248 square meters, 12 stories. Since we are paying in full, we gave a 10% discount on the purchase price and rounded it up. The final price is 35 million yuan.
"If you think there is no problem, then we will do it at this price."
Pei Qian nodded. He had always trusted Assistant Xin's bargaining ability 100%.
35 million yuan to buy such a building was indeed a little bad, but it was not a loss.
There was still half of the money earned from the movie, and Pei Qian did not spend it all.
The reason was very simple. He had to first see if his idea could work and if Sloth Apartments could successfully incur losses.
He could only spend the rest of the money after he was sure.
In addition, there was another good way to burn money in Pei Qian's plan: the soft renovation of the house!
This building was considered a fixed asset. After a 10% discount, it would still be 3.5 million yuan. That would affect the settlement.
Pei Qian expected that the fixed assets in his hands during this cycle would at most reach 90 million yuan. If it exceeded 100 million yuan, it would not be so easy to incur losses.
However, he could spend on the soft renovation of the house as he pleased!
For example, some more expensive furniture, decorations, home appliances, and the like would not affect the settlement.
Of course, Pei Qian did not dare to go overboard. For example, he could arrange a full set of the best luxury furniture. That would make the place famous easily. If not, it might attract all the ballers in Jingzhou. That would be a huge risk.
Ming Yun Private Kitchen was a good example.
Therefore, Pei Qian's goal was to spend as much money on the soft renovation as possible without revealing anything. At the same time, he would take the opportunity to raise the price and achieve a perfect balance.
This balance was simply: the rich would not like it, and the poor would not be able to afford it.
It was best to let the Sloth Apartments be stuck in this awkward position!
