Chapter 40: Double Happiness
"Mom, where is the Rolex I gave to Dad? Let me borrow it to try it on."
Lu Yiming carefully put on the suit he had just bought and combed his hair into an adult style.
Ning Xuehua saw Lu Yiming like this and couldn't help but complain: "What's going on? Are you going out for a blind date? And you're dressed so formally."
Ning Xuehua had already taken out the watch while she was talking: "Your dad wants to wear this watch but he doesn't want to. He always wants to wear it to the company, but he says it's too dusty and he's afraid it'll get dirty. The first thing he does when he gets home is to put on the watch, and he doesn't even want to take it off when he goes to bed."
After hearing this, Lu Yiming felt sad and funny. He immediately patted his chest and promised, "Don't worry, Mom. When I get rich, I'll buy you a Patek Philippe. As for low-end products like Rolex, we'll buy two at a time, wear one and throw away the other."
"You kid..."
Ning Xuehua touched Lu Yiming's head lovingly, and said gently: "Stop talking nonsense. Hurry up and go out. Don't be late."
After putting on a brand-name suit and a glittering Rolex, Lu Yiming's image suddenly changed from a green high school student to a steady and impressive successful person.
When they left the house, Li Yiwen and Li Quanwang were already waiting in a rented luxury car.
Lu Yiming got on the back seat, and Li Yiwen couldn't help but complain: "I have to rent a car every time I go out, and it hurts my wallet."
Lu Yiming replied confidently: "We are in the start-up phase now, and life is indeed a bit tight, but the difficulties are temporary. We will have luxury cars and beauties in the future. We must have confidence in our business!"
Li Quanwang couldn't stand it anymore and interrupted, "Zha Ming, where are we going to cheat people today?"
After listening to him, Lu Yiming immediately corrected him with a serious face, "You have a problem with your mentality. We are starting a business. Can starting a business be called cheating?"
Lu Yiming was too lazy to bother with Li Quanwang, the funny guy, so he turned to ask Li Yiwen: "Cousin, what's the situation with these two families?"
“Not sure yet.”
Li Yiwen didn't go there to check the household registration, so how would he know the situation?
Lu Yiming found that Li Yiwen had misunderstood his meaning, and asked again: "No, I mean, are they short of money?"
Li Yiwen thought about the previous meeting and replied, "It seems that they are not in short supply. When I tentatively suggested that I might pay in installments, the other party did not resist too much."
Lu Yiming immediately smiled, and stretched out in the back seat, his tone becoming more relaxed: "That's a sure thing, as long as the house is suitable, the chances of a deal being done are very high."
He was not afraid of the other party's greed, but he was afraid that the other party was the kind of person who was in a hurry to use the money. As long as Lu Yiming was not determined to pay the full amount at one time, he had plenty of ways to make adjustments.
"Let's go. We'll go to the first house. It's an old man named Zhou Youguang. I heard that his children are doing very well in Pengcheng, and they want to take the old man over to live with them."
In the car, Li Yiwen told Lu Yiming about some of the situations.
Lu Yiming was also happy after hearing this: "Oh, it seems he is a big boss."
This location is at the intersection of Tiyu West Road and Tianhe North Road, and the intersection of Baiyun Sports College and Tianhe Sports Center.
When Lu Yiming got out of the car and took a look, he couldn't help but muttered, "Wow, isn't this the future Kaisa Commercial Plaza?"
Kaisa Plaza opened for business in 2010, which means that in five or six years, or seven or eight years at most, this place will be demolished.
Wouldn't it be double the happiness if I bought this place now?
Make some money by opening an Internet cafe, and then make some money by demolishing a house. You will win directly.
When they arrived at the entrance of the Sports College, Li Yiwen called Zhou Youguang to invite him out. Lu Yiming reluctantly found a teahouse, and several people sat together to drink tea.
Zhou Youguang had a long white beard, wore a Tang suit, a pair of black cloth shoes, and held a shiny cane. He looked like a very kind old man.
"Hello Mr. Zhou, I'm Lu Yiming, and these two are my assistants. You should know this one, Li Yiwen. As for him, his name is Li Quanwang."
"Hello. "
Zhou Youguang glanced at Lu Yiming and nodded with appreciation.
Lu Yiming was dressed neatly and appropriately, and his appearance, temperament, conversation and manners gave him a very comfortable first impression.
After the meeting, Lu Yiming didn't waste any words. He pulled out a chair and sat down to start the negotiation: "Mr. Zhou, please take a seat. I'm sure my assistant has already told you clearly why I'm here. Now, I need to buy a big shop."
Zhou Youguang really liked Lu Yiming's simplicity and directness, so he didn't waste time and took out a file bag on the spot: "My shop is upstairs, on the second floor. It covers an area of 400 square meters and has a height of more than five meters. This is a copy of the relevant documents. Take a look, the procedures are all complete."
Lu Yiming looked at the documents and thought that the 400 square meters of space was barely acceptable, so he began to inquire about the price: "Yes, the formalities are indeed complete. Now, Mr. Zhou, please make an offer."
Zhou Youguang had already made up his mind and immediately made an offer: "One price, 1.2 million."
Lu Yiming couldn't help but raise his eyebrows and said, "So, 3,000 yuan per square meter?"
After hearing the price, Lu Yiming, who traveled back from the future, almost couldn't help but slap his thigh .
Let me put it this way, more than 20 years later, the lowest price here is 70,000 yuan per square meter, and the more expensive communities have reached 130,000 yuan per square meter.
In Lu Yiming's opinion, this shop with a price of 3,000 yuan per square meter is simply a bargain.
Even with the current prices, a shop in this location that costs 3,000 yuan per square meter is actually not expensive.
There is a reason why the price is so low.
This store was originally rented to someone else to do fabric business. Later, everyone bought ready-made clothes, so it was changed into a clothing store. However, because the space was neither too big nor too small, it was very awkward.
I can’t do big business, and I’m losing money on small business, not even able to make back the rent.
So much so that after several shop owners went bankrupt, word spread that the feng shui here was problematic, and as a result, no one was interested in the business anymore.
Zhou Youguang had no choice but to sell the place.
Everyone drank tea and chatted. After half an hour, Lu Yiming asked, "Mr. Zhou, is it convenient for us to go to the store now?"
Zhou Youguang stood up and said, "Of course."
At that moment, Zhou Youguang took them to look around the shops.
The layout of the house is very regular, with basically no twists and turns or strange designs. It is square and very suitable for placing a computer. The more Lu Yiming looked at it, the more satisfied he felt: "Very good, this place, I want it."
