Chapter 15 The House Is Done
It was almost six o'clock when Xu Hao and Zhao Jun returned to the tea restaurant. As soon as they sat down and didn't take a sip of water, Han Xiangsheng hurried over and said, "Ah Hao, just now Manager Ma from Oriental Daily called and said, you asked him
I have some ideas about helping to find a house. I want you to come back and give him a call."
When Xu Hao heard this, he knew that Sun Mingqiang had told Ma Rulong about the house, so he quickly called Ma Rulong back.
As soon as the phone call came through, I heard Ma Rulong on the other side say, "It's Ah Hao. I'm your Uncle Ma. You asked Editor Sun to tell me about finding a house. It happened that a friend of mine had a two-story house at the foot of Beacon Mountain."
A house with a backyard, total
It is more than 3,000 square feet. He is going back to England to work, so he wants to sell it urgently. I have been to that place. The environment is quiet and the transportation is convenient. I have just made an appointment with him to go see the house together at nine o'clock tomorrow morning.
I will pick you up at your place when the time comes.”
When Xu Hao heard this, he smiled and said, "Thank you so much, Uncle Ma, for finding me a house so quickly. Okay, I'll wait for you at Hanji Tea Restaurant at nine o'clock tomorrow morning. We'll see you tomorrow, Ma."
Goodbye uncle”
After hanging up the phone, Xu Hao said to Zhao Jun, "Brother Jun, don't go out tomorrow morning. Manager Ma has found a house. You can go check it out with me tomorrow morning. Uncle Han, it's just over Beacon Hill, away from the house."
It’s not far”
Han Xiangsheng said, "That's good, Junzai, be smart when you go out. Ahao is too young, so you should take more care of him."
Zhao Jun nodded quickly and said, "Uncle Han, don't worry, Ahao has more ghosts than me."
At around eight o'clock the next morning, Ma Rulong drove over and took Xu Hao and Zhao Jun to look at the house together. It was actually not far away, and he arrived in about ten minutes. He saw a ghost guy standing there waiting.
As soon as he got off the car, Ma Rulong smiled and said, "Mr. Charlie, I have kept you waiting for a long time. This is Xu Hao who wants to buy a house. Mr. Xu, A Hao, this is Mr. Charlie, the owner of the house."
Xu Hao quickly stepped forward and said, "Hello, Mr. Charlie, how about we go in and see the house first?"
The ghost guy said, "Mr. Ma, Mr. Xu, hello, I've just come here, okay, let's check out the house first."
Xu Hao saw that this house faced south, and parking could be parked in front of the house. There was a road in front of the house, and the transportation was relatively convenient.
Walking into the room, Xu Hao saw that the house had four rooms on the first floor, which was almost a thousand square feet. There was one room on the east side that could accommodate people. Then the three rooms were all connected. There was a door in the middle, and there were two rooms on both sides.
There are two large windows with good light. On the west side is a staircase that goes up to the second floor. There is a small door under the stairs that leads directly to the backyard.
Go up to the second floor. There are four rooms above, one bedroom, one living room, one bathroom, and one guest room. The structure is okay. If you buy it yourself, you don't need to make major adjustments. The main thing is this place.
Very quiet and suitable for myself.
Xu Hao felt that this place was okay, so he went downstairs and walked around the backyard. The backyard was almost more than 2,000 square feet, and there were many flowers and plants planted. Maybe no one was taking care of it during this period, so it looked a bit messy.
When he returned to the house, Xu Hao said to Charlie, "I'm satisfied with the house, but I don't know how much Mr. Charlie wants to sell it for?"
Charlie said, "Mr. Xu, it's like this. My wife and I like this place very much. The environment here is elegant and the air is very fresh. But now the headquarters wants to recruit me to work in the UK. I originally wanted to rent it out, but in the end
Thinking about it, I don’t know if I can come back here again in the future.
, so we are preparing to sell. I just talked about this with Mr. Ma a few days ago. Yesterday afternoon, Mr. Ma called and said that you need it. This also solves one of my problems. Since you are a friend of Manager Ma, then I will
The actual price, a fixed price, is HKD 450,000, and it must be a full cash transaction."
Xu Hao chuckled and said, "Mr. Charlie, the price you mentioned is quite appropriate, but I run a store, and your location is a bit remote. You can't afford to waste so much time. I'll pay in full in cash."
Pay the bill, 350,000 Hong Kong dollars”
When Charlie heard this, he shouted loudly, "Oh, my price is too low. When I bought this land, it was already 300,000 Hong Kong dollars. No, this price is too low."
Xu Hao looked at it and said quickly, "Mr. Charlie, think about it, if your time to go to the UK to take office is delayed because you sell this house, how much loss will you have? Your place is suitable for people to live in, but you can pay the full price at once
How many people have paid up? This can't be sold in a short time. Let's make friends. The price is HKD 380,000. If you agree, we will go to the law firm to go through the formalities now.
"
Charlie thought that he was going back to England to resume his duties soon, and he had no time to deal with this matter again, so he said, "No, 380,000 Hong Kong dollars is too low, 400,000 Hong Kong dollars, otherwise I will wait."
Xu Hao stretched out his hand and said with a smile, "Okay, it's only 400,000 Hong Kong dollars. We will have a happy cooperation. Let's go through the formalities now."
Charlie held Xu Hao's hand and said, "Mr. Xu, despite your young age, you are still a good negotiator, but if you buy this place for 400,000 Hong Kong dollars, you will feel it is worth it."
Xu Hao said to Ma Rulong, "I still need to trouble Uncle Ma. Please introduce a law firm and we will go through the formalities."
When Ma Rulong heard this, he said, "Ah Hao, that's no problem. My newspaper has been dealing with a law firm for a long time, so we'll go there."
When they arrived at the law firm, Ma Rulong introduced them to a lawyer named Zhang, because the newspaper office had left beforehand. In fact, Xu Hao was very grateful to Ma Rulong. Although he knew that he was a gangster, he now contributed to his newspaper office in order to win over himself.
I'm really good, I will help if I have the opportunity in the future.
Lawyer Zhang chatted with them in the living room and asked several assistants to print the contract. Xu Hao did not expect that this was a house transaction contract. It took more than an hour to sign it. After paying the handling fee to Lawyer Zhang
, Xu Hao and Charlie went straight to HSBC Bank. Only after the money is transferred can the contract take legal effect.
After transferring the money to HSBC, Charlie smiled and said, "Mr. Xu, you are such a genius. I hope we can meet again in the future. Goodbye."
At this time, Xu Hao's savings immediately returned to zero. He had only been a householder of 500,000 yuan for one day, and he suddenly returned to before liberation.
After returning to the tea restaurant, after lunch, Xu Hao asked Han Xiangsheng, "Uncle Han, please call the real estate agency later and tell them that our house has been bought, so they don't need to look for it anymore. Do you want another one?"
I don’t know the decoration company. I want to simply decorate the house over there.
, so that we can start business directly after the certificate is obtained. Brother Jun, after you find the decoration company, you should keep an eye on it in the past few days and don't let them cut corners. This has delayed it for a day. I have to rush to finish the manuscript now.
Otherwise, if Editor-in-Chief Sun comes the next day, what will I give him?"
As soon as Han Xiangsheng heard this, he said, "Junzi and I will go to the decoration company I know in a moment. That decoration company has a good reputation. Just tell Junzi what the decoration requirements are for the house there."
"Uncle Han, thank you for your hard work. Brother Jun, I want the upper and lower floors of the house in front to be simply renovated. The doors and windows are repainted, and the upper and lower floors are decorated in white. All the furniture left by the ghost guy can be kept.
Next, everything that cannot be used has been disposed of. A practice space of at least 800 square feet needs to be organized in the backyard to facilitate your own practice in the future. The house on the next floor will be where you live from now on. Brother Jun, look at it.
If you do it, there’s nothing else.”
Han Xiangsheng said, "When we go to the decoration company later, I will tell them this request and follow this. Ah Hao, do you have no money on hand? I will get it for you right now."
Xu Hao quickly blocked Han Xiangsheng and said, "Uncle Han, I still have money and enough for decoration. If I really don't have any money, I will come to you again."
Han Xiangsheng said, "Ah Hao, don't be polite to me. We are a family. That's okay. You can go write a book. Junzai and I will go to the decoration company. It's best to let them start construction tomorrow. You can do this."
Don’t worry about it anymore”
Xu Hao came upstairs and started his book copying business again. On the morning of Monday the 12th, Xu Hao went to Beacon Mountain to practice and arrived at the HSBC Bank at eight o'clock on time. Song Zhongfeng was waiting in the lobby below and saw Xu Hao.
Come, just say quickly, "Mr. Xu, let's talk upstairs."
When he came to Song Zhongfeng's office, Song Zhongfeng poured Xu Hao a cup of tea and said, "Mr. Xu, I have finished all the things you asked me to do in the past few days. I opened ten anonymous accounts abroad and injected 10,000 yuan into each account."
Hong Kong dollars, and I will also find you four of the best traders here.
I have told them the rules and regulations, and they will definitely handle it as you wish, and will also arrange a large room for you. The four of them are waiting there now. When we get to the large room, we will sign a confidentiality agreement.
Mr. Xu, do you have any other needs? We will try our best to do it."
Xu Hao took out a document from his bag and handed it to Song Zhongfeng and said, "Manager Song, you're welcome. You guys did a great job, but I really have something to trouble you. Take a look. This is one of my properties worth more than half a million yuan."
Real estate certificate, I want to use this as a mortgage, how much loan can your bank give me? And I am long the Hang Seng Index this time, I don’t know how much leverage your bank can give me?"
In fact, the house and small courtyard that Xu Hao bought are now worth at least 500,000 Hong Kong dollars according to the real estate market price in Hong Kong. It was mainly because Charlie was eager to sell, and because of Ma Rulong's face, Xu Hao got a bargain.
Song Zhongfeng looked at Xu Hao's real estate certificate carefully and said to Xu Hao, "Within my scope of authority, I can lend you a maximum of 450,000 Hong Kong dollars. If you trade the Hang Seng Index, I will give you a maximum of five times the leverage. If
Do you think it’s less? I need to ask our general manager, Mr. Shen Bi, for instructions. What do you think?”
Xu Hao said, "Just follow Manager Song's wishes. Let's finish the loan business first and then go to the main office."
So Song Zhongfeng brought the loan contract and signed it with Xu Hao. Xu Hao said to Song Zhongfeng, "Manager Song, immediately transfer 400,000 Hong Kong dollars into the ten foreign accounts, and leave the remaining 50,000 Hong Kong dollars in my account.
I’ll use this 500,000 Hong Kong dollars to test the water first.”
So Song Zhongfeng went to handle it. It didn't take much time before he came up and said to Xu Hao, "Mr. Xu, everything has been handled according to your wishes. Here is the stub. Please keep it. I have just informed the people from the legal department to go to the main room.
Let’s go now too”
When I came to the main room, I saw four young people in their thirties sitting there. When they came in, they all stood up. One of them, who looked very shrewd, said, "Hello, Manager Song, we are all
Ready"
Song Zhongfeng said to him, "This is Mr. Xu Haoxu, our client this time. You must completely obey Mr. Xu's command. This time, the bank gave Mr. Xu a five-fold leverage. You should operate according to this multiple.
Mr. Xu, this is Zheng Feng, the team leader this time.”
Xu Hao quickly held Zheng Feng's hand and said, "Mr. Zheng, I'm going to trouble you this time. Don't worry, after the matter is completed, in addition to your due remuneration, I will give you another big red envelope."
Zheng Feng quickly said, "Mr. Xu, just call me A-Feng. Don't worry, we will definitely follow your instructions and go all out."
At this time, people from the Legal Department came up. After they signed the confidentiality agreement, Song Zhongfeng said to Xu Hao, "Mr. Xu, you can talk, and I will go down first."
After Song Zhongfeng left, Xu Hao said to Zheng Feng and the four of them, "Afeng, Manager Song has told you the rules. I don't want anyone to know about my investment. I just added money to each account."
40,000 Hong Kong dollars, now the total is 500,000 Hong Kong dollars, what point was the Hang Seng Index on the last trading day? I want to go long the Hang Seng Index, but I don’t know how long it will take you to complete it?”
Zheng Feng said, "Mr. Xu, we all know the rules. Please rest assured. The Hang Seng Index was 428 points on the last trading day, but now the Hang Seng Index is rising. It may take a little longer to be long on the Hang Seng Index. We will try our best this week.
Completed within”
As soon as Xu Hao heard this, he said, "Ah Feng, I have worked hard for you these days. I will come back on Friday. You try to complete all the orders. Remember, all orders must be guaranteed by the bank. Don't worry, this time
After all the investments are completed, I will definitely send you a big red envelope that will satisfy you. That’s it, the market will open soon, and I will leave first.”
Chapter completed!
