Volume 2: Scales in the Pond Chapter 163: Rental Scam
In the classroom, Qiao Ji was deep in thought during the last class of the morning.
These people who sell paintings learned the technique from a person who escaped the net six years ago. Previously, they were just old people in the village.
So, what about the ones he encountered last night?
Their weapons and armor bear the traces of time. Every move they make has the style of fighting on the battlefield. They are real soldiers.
The ones that Qiao Ji encountered last night were not as strong as the zombies and ghost soldiers transformed from ordinary workers and farmers, but their natures were completely different.
Yang Chengrong and the others relaxed, but Qiao Ji had to start thinking about where those guys in the unfinished building came from.
Where did it leak from?
Listening to their conversation, it seemed that they also escaped from the Xishan ruins and experienced what happened six years ago.
When they came to our society, they were very cautious and didn't understand many things. They only made money by stealing, which showed that they had not been here for long.
They can hide in the shadows.
As for the group that had just been captured, Qiao Ji did not see any signs that they would disappear.
At this moment, they all regarded it as a false alarm, and the garrison troops of the West Mountain Ruins also stopped the inspection. After all, the source of the problem was found, and it was not them.
They endured the whole morning's stress in vain, and their phones were almost blown up.
Just as Qiao Ji was thinking about the problem, the bell for the end of get out of class rang.
"It's time to end the get out of class, teacher, thank you for your hard work."
Forget it, let’s talk about it later. Let’s go eat.
For those ghost soldiers, even if there were an army of 100,000, it would be useless. Qiao Ji could show them a powerful show to shock them at Xiaoyaojin.
…
During lunch, Lin Mengfu asked, "Do we really want to buy it right away? When I was looking at rental information before, I saw that some houses were quite good to rent directly."
"It's not a short stay, and I have some money, so of course I'll just buy it. As for the ones you saw before..."
Lin Mengfu also shared the information that she had seen before with Qiao Ji, and Qiao Ji was speechless.
“A lot of those are lies.”
"How did you cheat?"
"Look at this." Qiao Ji took out his cell phone and Lin Mengfu moved closer to take a look.
"He said if you rent for three months, you can get one month off, but you have to rent for at least a year. Isn't this a scam?"
Lin Mengfu scratched her head, "Where did you cheat? I can't see it."
Yu Luoluo on the other side couldn't help but take over the conversation, " This can't be considered a scam, at most it's easy to go bankrupt, because you have to give him a year's worth of money in one lump sum, and he probably pays the landlord month by month, and then he has a pool of funds..."
Qiao Ji interrupted directly, "If the capital pool is large, just run away with the money."
"It's not that easy to run away with the money, right? You think everyone is out to cheat you out of money." Yu Luoluo retorted.
"But the prices offered by these companies are much lower than those of other mid-range properties that only charge one month's rent as agency fees. If there's a little bit of a stir, there's a lot of these companies. If you search for rental properties, you'll see their ads everywhere."
Qiao Ji spread his hands and continued eating.
Much lower?
Yu Luoluo realized that the rent charged from the tenants was low, but the rent paid to the landlord must be high, otherwise where would the housing come from?
The risk is too great.
"Damn it, he really is planning to run away with the money. Damn it, why are people nowadays so cunning when it comes to making money dishonestly?"
Xu Zhuo and Lin Mengfu still didn't seem to understand.
"What on earth do you mean?"
“That is, they pay high rent to the landlord, for example, 3,000 a month, but they pay it month by month.
Then I will charge tenants a low rent. I will only charge you two thousand five hundred for renting a house, but I will collect it year after year.
If you calculate the difference, you will understand that they can run away at any time, and they can please both sides, have an advantage in price, and can attract a lot of people. "
Qiao Ji added: "In fact, they can also delay paying the landlord to further reduce their expenses, and then leave the landlord and tenant to quarrel. So, it is better not to find a sub-landlord when renting a house. There is no reason for them to give you a bargain."
Lin Mengfu and Xu Zhuo both felt very impressed and felt that they had learned some knowledge that they would not use for a long time.
Under normal circumstances, they can only use it after they graduate from college.
"Oh, by the way, Qiao Ji, did you just say you wanted to buy a house?" Yu Luoluo started gossiping again.
"Yes, I plan to buy a gai."
"Blow it!"
Yu Luoluo spoke the dialect without any difficulty, it seemed that this guy was very good at socializing.
…
After lunch, Qiao Ji took Lin Mengfu and left.
Just as he said, it only takes one minute to get within the Sixth Ring Road, and the place they are going is not far away, just three kilometers away from the school.
This house is close to the school, so it will be very convenient to go to and from school in the future.
Qiao Ji and Lin Mengfu disappeared directly into the community. This was what he had agreed with the agent sister on the phone. They didn't need to pick them up at the door to save trouble.
A woman in a black OL uniform was waiting for someone. When she turned around, she saw two people appearing quietly and was really scared.
"Sister Pingping, we are here."
"Mengmeng, how did you get here? I'm still looking at the elevator."
Chen Ping patted his chest and almost threw the information in his hand away.
It's not okay to be so scary.
"Superpowers, otherwise why would I let you wait for us up there? I haven't seen you for a long time!"
"I haven't seen you for a long time. You're almost as tall as me now."
"No, you are taller."
"I'm wearing high heels."
The two women started chatting away, and Qiao Ji couldn't help but remind them, "Ahem, let's talk about the house first."
Lin Mengfu whispered, "He makes the decision on buying a house."
The money was all earned by Qiao Ji, don't ask her, her connections are useless.
"Okay, Mr. Joe."
Chen Ping thought it would be her uncle's brother-in-law who came, but unexpectedly it was Mr. Xiao Qiao.
However, anyone with demand is a valuable customer, let alone a particularly wealthy valuable customer.
The bottom line is 40 million, and the rest is up to you. It has to be close to the school and have a comfortable living environment, that's all the requirements.
"Based on your requirements, this 400-square-meter flat in the Guanxing Building is a better choice. It is close to the school, has complete supporting facilities, convenient transportation, and a good environment. Although it was delivered seven years ago, the owner has not lived in it much, but he has purchased some very good home appliances..."
Chen Ping introduced herself professionally. She had prepared five houses. She would take the first one as a test to see what the requirements were. After all, generally speaking, those who have no requirements will have higher requirements.
Lin Mengfu was slightly shocked when she heard this. "Four hundred square meters? Isn't it too big?"
The house she lived in before was only about 90 square meters, and this place is too big.
"Almost. I think it's OK."
Qiao Ji thought it was fine. He didn’t have to clean anyway, so what was wrong with it being a little bigger?
