Volume 1 Beginning of Summer Chapter 7 Selling Accounts
When Jiang You left the Public Security Bureau, the rain had stopped. A few rays of orange-red sunset light penetrated the clouds and fell on the rain-soaked ground, making the ground sparkle all the way.
Jiang You did not return to Wenhua Street. He took a taxi to Lanxinyuan. After the taxi dropped him off at the gate of the community, he looked in the direction of the gate of the community, but did not go in. Instead, he walked along the street and entered a nearby store with a sign that said "Connected to Real Estate".
Hearing the sound of the door being pushed open, Zhou Liang, who was sitting behind his computer in a suit, looked up. He recognized Jiang You and said, "Brother Jiang, long time no see." He pointed to the inner room and said, "The boss is in there."
"Business is good." Jiang You took out a pack of cigarettes from his pocket, opened the package, took out a cigarette, and handed it to Zhou Liang.
"You're welcome." Zhou Liang stood up, took the cigarette and took out one. He took out a lighter and lit the cigarette for Jiang You and himself.
"My small apartment at No. 56 may need to be rented out again in a while. Now both rooms are vacant."
"Okay, tell me when the time comes and I'll help you put it up." Zhou Liang thought for a moment, "I remember one was signed just two months ago?"
"The one living in the master bedroom is the employee who jumped off the building. I asked him to move to Building 27 two months ago. They know each other. The person in the room next door has died. It must be uncomfortable to live there. I just happen to have an empty room."
"This is a big deal. I didn't realize it was Brother Jiang's tenant. His parents seem to want to sue Xiaozha's company, but..." Zhou Liang's eyes flickered, and he lowered his voice, "Someone anonymously broke the news on Weibo saying that his parents wanted to make a fuss and extort more money."
"Those two old guys don't look like they would cause trouble..."
"Hey, Xiao Jiang, you're here!" Li Ronggao, the boss of the agency, came out after hearing the voice.
He was in his forties, with a dark complexion, wearing a floral T-shirt and a gold chain around his neck. He walked over to Jiang You, who handed him a cigarette box. He took one in his hand and said, "There are several houses for sale nearby recently. Want to go and take a look?"
"I can't afford it at the current price."
"You still can't afford it?" Li Ronggao teased Jiang You with a smile. He lit a cigarette and took Jiang You into the inner room.
"Kanshan Yipin, do you know?" Jiang You sat down and flicked the ash into the ashtray.
"You know, the sale is about to start. Do you like the house there?" Li Ronggao filled a disposable cup with water and placed it next to Jiang You. He sat down on the chair on the other side. "The houses there are good, but hard to get. And once the surrounding areas are developed, the prices will be frozen."
"There is a house reserved by the developer with a purchase qualification. The location and floor are definitely good. Do you want to buy it?"
"You can even get this? Amazing! The circle you're in is getting more and more high-end."
"Accidentally, if you want it, the price is about the same."
"You didn't buy it yourself?"
Jiang You exhaled a puff of smoke and put out the cigarette. "I can't pay the full amount. "
"That's right. This year's policy requires that if you buy more than three houses, you must pay in full. But you can mortgage it. I can help you with the information."
"It's too tiring. I just want to retire now."
"How old are you? You need to support yourself in your old age," Li Ronggao sneered. He quoted a price, "120,000 yuan. How about it?"
"Add a little more. Look at the Shanyipin plate. I estimate that it will rise by two or three points right after the opening. If I sell it, how much can you calculate?"
Li Ronggao put out his cigarette awkwardly. "150,000, it can't be any higher. I usually don't touch such a fine plate. I need to find someone to take over the deal."
"Okay, let's take this price." Jiang You forwarded the WeChat message Xiao Tang sent to him to Li Ronggao.
"Wait a minute, I'll transfer you." Li Ronggao took out his mobile phone and started operating it.
Jiang You picked up the cup and took a sip of water. About five or six minutes later, his phone vibrated. He glanced at the screen and saw that the money had arrived.
"Are you really not considering buying a few more houses?" Li Ronggao asked.
"Let's talk about it later," Jiang You glanced at the time, "When I came here, I saw Fatty Hu's store selling crayfish. Let's go there for dinner tonight and call Xiao Zhou."
"I'm sorry to have cost you money again."
"I want to thank Boss Li."
Li Ronggao smiled and took out two cigarettes from his cigarette box and handed one to Jiang You.
Half an hour later, Li Ronggao locked the door, and the three of them walked across the street to Hu Pang's Home Cooking. Less than thirty meters away, the aroma of crayfish wafted into their noses.
"Fatty Hu is really good at cooking crayfish." Li Ronggao sniffed.
They quickened their pace.
Hu Pang Restaurant has been here for more than ten years. It is affordable, has large portions, and tastes good. When Jiang You and his friends entered, they found that the first floor was already full.
"Hey, it's been a while, Xiao Jiang. Oh, Boss Li and Xiao Zhou are here too," Fatty Hu walked out of the kitchen carrying a basin of crayfish. After delivering the crayfish to the corresponding table, he turned around and said, "There's still room upstairs. First come, first served!"
Jiang You said, "First, bring ten kilograms of crayfish. I'll prepare the other dishes and send them down for you."
"Okay."
They walked up the stairs to the second floor. The seats upstairs were already half full. Jiang You looked around and pointed to an empty seat against the wall. "That's it?"
Li Ronggao said, "Okay, right there."
They sat down around the table.
The proprietress brought over the menu and order paper.
"Braised large intestine, pickled fish, stewed duck..." Jiang You flipped through the menu. After writing down five dishes on the order sheet, he handed the menu to Li Ronggao and Zhou Liang, "Take a look at what you want to eat."
"There are a lot more. There are also lobsters. What do you think, Xiao Zhou?"
"Let's order some vegetables," Zhou Liang turned to the last few pages of the menu, "How about macaroni with garlic?"
"Okay, let's order six more bottles of beer," Jiang You wrote down the garlic macaroni on the paper, "Tsingtao or Snowflake?"
"Qingdao," said Li Ronggao.
After writing, Jiang You stood up with the menu and order paper. He walked downstairs and walked to the counter, where he put the menu and order paper on the counter.
The lady boss took the order paper and took a look at it. "The crawfish is already being cooked."
"I'll get the wine myself."
"Okay, the freezer is over there, the ice inside lasts longer."
Jiang You walked to the freezer near the door and when he opened it, four people, two women and two men, walked in. Jiang You recognized the leading woman as Xiao Chen, whom he had seen in the rental house.
She put on makeup and wore a black dress with small floral patterns. She carried a black chain bag with a gold GG logo on the top.
He picked out six beers, three in each hand, stepped back, and pressed his knees against the freezer door.
Xiao Chen and three other people walked in front of him and went up the stairs.
