After the divorce, I started to transfer

After finishing his meal with Yang Ziying, Chen Feng stayed with her for about half an hour before saying goodbye and leaving.

Although Yang Ziying was reluctant to let him go, she wouldn't try to stop him. She knew very well that Chen Feng had other women in Xiuzhou besides her, and he also had his own affairs to attend to; he couldn't possibly spend the whole day with her. Furthermore, Chen Feng had just returned to China and clearly had other women to spend time with.

And that was indeed the case. After leaving Yang Ziying's place, Chen Feng drove to the postpartum care center, picked up Shen Lin and Tang Yue, and together they went to the real estate agency.

The real estate agent was Tang Yue's cousin, her aunt's daughter. She was indeed seven or eight years older than Tang Yue, and although she wore makeup, she looked a bit older than her age; she was actually around 40.

According to her own introduction, she has been a real estate agent for almost 10 years. She is a veteran real estate agent with an excellent reputation in the industry. Of course, this is obviously a bit of self-praise, so Chen Feng just took it with a grain of salt.

The house they were looking at wasn't far from their real estate agency, only two or three kilometers away. So Tang Yue and her cousin rode ahead to lead the way, while Chen Feng and Shen Lin followed behind. They had already been given the address, but because it was so close, they didn't use navigation.

Tang Yue's cousin's surname is Chen, the same as Chen Feng's. However, this surname is so common in China that it's not accurate to say they were related 500 years ago. Of course, they share the same surname, which at least creates a sense of familiarity. For real estate agents, a sense of familiarity or approachability is extremely important.

In the car, Tang Yue said bluntly, "Sis, don't try to trick me later. I haven't seen this house yet. Even though you sent me photos, seeing is believing."

If we go and take a look, and it doesn't work, or we find some problems, then I'll be in big trouble. This person is a true big shot, someone we can't afford to offend.

You absolutely, positively mustn't try to fool him. Don't use those old tricks you used when selling houses. Absolutely no fooling him, understand? I'd rather lose this deal than cheat him, or you'll ruin me.

Upon hearing this, Sister Chen immediately smiled and said, "I know, my little Yueyue. Didn't you tell me this repeatedly on the phone? I certainly wouldn't harm you."

This house is indeed very nice; I've sent you videos and photos. But as you know, a house this big and expensive is very difficult to sell.

Many wealthy people already own houses, so they aren't particularly interested in these new houses. Furthermore, with house prices continuing to fall, they're hesitant to buy.

The main buyers of these new houses right now are first-time homebuyers. This Mr. Chen you introduced is one of them; I recognized him immediately. Don't worry, the house is absolutely fine.”

Only after her cousin repeatedly assured her did Tang Yue finally feel relieved.

The car quickly arrived at the gate of the New Jingcheng residential complex. The two cars parked in the open-air parking lot at the entrance, and then Sister Chen led them inside.

As she walked, Sister Chen introduced the area: "This residential area is located in the core scenic area of ​​our Grand Canal, which is the commercial center of Xiuzhou. There is a 5A-level scenic spot right outside the door, and Xizi Street and Dongzi Street are just a 5-minute walk away. These are two very prosperous commercial streets."

The waterfront promenade is right downstairs, perfect for a morning run or an evening stroll, offering a tranquil escape from the hustle and bustle of city life. In our area near the Grand Canal, our development is a unique and irreplaceable asset.

As she explained, Chen Feng looked around. He had to admit, the location was indeed excellent, with beautiful greenery all around.

The waterfront running trail is particularly long, running along the canal, and it's less crowded. So, going for a run along the canal trail in the morning is a very pleasant experience, especially for running enthusiasts.

Walking into the community through its grand entrance, one can immediately appreciate its landscape design. Although the area is not large, it features a three-dimensional garden design.

The entrance features a welcoming pine tree costing millions, and the interior includes a sunken clubhouse courtyard. Even on rainy days, one can enjoy the idyllic scene of rain pattering on banana leaves through the clubhouse's glass dome.

There's also a hotel-style drop-off lobby and a double-hall entrance in the basement. Security is provided through facial recognition and 24-hour concierge service. The entire complex has only 78 units. Those who can live here are all extremely wealthy and influential.

As per Chen Feng's request, the group went directly to see the so-called "hot" apartment that Sister Chen had previously introduced. It was the penthouse of the complex, with a floor area of ​​398 square meters, four bedrooms, three living rooms, four bathrooms, a Chinese and Western kitchen, and a maid's suite.

The building features a one-apartment-per-floor design with a private elevator lobby. Stepping out of the elevator, you'll find a private foyer of approximately 15 square meters, which can serve as entryway storage or a family display area.

Directly opposite the entrance hall is a custom-made screen depicting the Grand Canal in its heyday. In Feng Shui, this is called "gathering and retaining auspicious energy." Beyond the entrance hall lies a living room of approximately 80 square meters, 12.8 meters wide, with 270-degree panoramic floor-to-ceiling windows directly facing the Grand Canal.

Passing through the living room, you reach the balcony, a scenic balcony. It connects the living room and study, and is a 9-meter-long, runway-like viewing platform. From here, you can see cargo ships and cruise ships on the canal. At night, it's even more enchanting, with lights creating a dynamic, ever-changing landscape.

Then there's the master suite, which is 50 square meters in size and includes a separate walk-in closet, separate vanities for men and women, and a jacuzzi. And lying in this bathtub, you can see the city lights and the shimmering canal outside the window.

Each of the four bedrooms has its own ensuite bathroom, making it suitable for three generations living together. It also features a complete smart home system with intelligent controls that allow voice control of curtains, lights, underfloor heating, and the ventilation system.

The kitchen features a complete set of built-in appliances from Gaggenau, Germany. The bathroom fixtures are from Laufen, Switzerland—both are among the world's top brands. The flooring is also solid walnut engineered wood flooring, which feels warm underfoot.

The sound insulation is also very good, as it uses triple-glazed windows, keeping indoor noise levels below 35 decibels year-round.

Chen Feng led Shen Lin around the house for almost half an hour, carefully examining every detail. Shen Lin was extremely satisfied, even mesmerized. Even though she didn't say a word, everyone could see her delight in her eyes.

As a shrewd real estate agent with 10 years of experience, Sister Chen could easily see through it. She immediately began her pursuit of Chen Feng.

“Mr. Chen, 3600 million is indeed a lot of money to buy a house like this in Xiuzhou. But in this location, for such a good and rare property, this price is already very cheap. You are a successful person, you should know that if it were in the city center, a house like this would definitely not cost this much, and this is even with high-end decoration.”

"If you want to buy a bare-bones apartment, that's also possible; the current discounted price is 3200 million. However, you'll need to put in the effort to design and decorate the apartment yourself, which will cost at least several million and require a lot of energy. Considering your girlfriend is pregnant now, I think decorating it yourself would take up a lot of your time and energy, and it wouldn't be convenient for your girlfriend, would it?"

"So I think it's better to buy this ready-made apartment with high-end, fully furnished interior. And rest assured, the quality of this furnished penthouse is absolutely reliable. You've all seen it with your own eyes; all the materials used in the renovation, as well as the furniture and appliances, are top-of-the-line. More importantly, there's absolutely no need to worry about formaldehyde. You can hire a professional housing inspection agency to come and test it."

Chen Feng didn't respond immediately, but instead looked at Shen Lin and asked, "Do you like this house?" After hesitating for a moment, Shen Lin nodded slightly and said, "It's alright, it looks okay. The main thing is that the school district here is really good, so my child can go to a good school here."

Chen Feng smiled and said, "Since you like it, then buy it."

After saying that, he looked at Sister Chen and said directly, "3000 million. I won't change the price. If you agree, I'll buy it in full. If you don't agree, we'll see."

Ms. Chen was stunned. The figure of 3000 million was exactly the lowest price within their company. Her manager had secretly confided in her about this, meaning that this was the absolute minimum price, their company's bottom line.

This can only be considered a coincidence. She didn't believe Chen Feng just happened to know their company's bottom line price, and besides, it could only be said that Chen Feng's bargaining was too ruthless. He rounded down from 3600 million to zero, then cut off 600 million. This price was outrageous; most people really couldn't negotiate such a steep discount.

Therefore, after a moment of stunned silence, Sister Chen immediately put on a very troubled expression, shook her head and sighed, saying, "Boss Chen, you're in big business, but you're haggling way too much. How can you haggle like that? You're cutting right down to your ankles."

That 3000 million is simply not enough. The maximum I can allocate is 3500 million, and even then, my personal commission will have to be reduced.

Chen Feng smiled and said, "Alright, you're Tang Yue's cousin, and we've been friends with Tang Yue for many years, which is why I'm willing to buy it for 3000 million in cash. Actually, I've already inquired with someone inside your company, and this is the lowest price they offer for this house. It's even possible to get a mortgage, but I'm paying in full now, understand? I'm taking out 3000 million in cash to buy this house directly. If you don't have that authority, then have your manager do it."

Upon hearing this, Sister Chen was completely stunned. However, she also believed Chen Feng's story. Otherwise, would Chen Feng lie to her, and so accurately at that?

In reality, Chen Feng knew about the low price because when the two first met, they shook hands. During the handshake, Chen Feng used his special ability to directly access the other person's bottom-line price information from their mind. Information recall is quite useful in this regard, but in Chen Feng's hands, it was somewhat of a waste of his talents.

Chen Feng also learned about the collusion between Tang Yue and Sister Chen. Tang Yue was actually entitled to a kickback of 20 yuan, not the 10 yuan she had previously told Shen Lin and him.

Chen Feng wasn't too angry about this. After thinking about it for a moment, he could understand why Tang Yue deliberately concealed the real amount of dividends from Shen Lin. Everyone has selfish motives, and besides, Tang Yue could only live a good life by relying on Shen Lin now.

Furthermore, Shen Lin would indeed need Tang Yue, her friend and caregiver, to help take care of her. Therefore, Chen Feng wasn't particularly concerned about the extra 10 yuan in dividends.

If Shen Lin likes it, and this school district property is indeed suitable for their future child to attend school nearby, then they should buy it. However, he doesn't want to be ripped off; he should save money where possible.

Chen Feng's words surprised not only Sister Chen, but also Tang Yue and Shen Lin.

However, they all believed Chen Feng's words, so after the initial shock, Sister Chen could only say awkwardly, "Mr. Chen, since you know, I won't hide it from you anymore. Our company's bottom line for this house is indeed 3000 million, but I really can't approve that price; it requires our manager's approval."

Furthermore, our company's bottom line price has a time limit. This building was just completed, only two months ago. So, it's currently difficult to buy this apartment for 30 million. We'll have to wait at least five months, and only if the apartment still hasn't sold by then, will we be able to offer this bottom line price again…”

Chen Feng interrupted directly, saying, "It's not five months, it's three months from now, which is one month from now. If you refuse me now, can you guarantee that this house will be sold for 30 million yuan in one month? And it will be sold for full payment."

I know you don't have that authority, so contact your manager now. I'll give you 10 minutes to call him and give me the result.

If that doesn't work, then forget it. After all, everyone knows that the real estate market is sluggish right now, and banks are very cautious about approving loans for real estate companies. Real estate brokerage firms like yours are facing enormous pressure to collect payments.

Selling a house right away and getting 3000 million in cash would be a huge achievement for you and your manager. Okay, go make the calls.”

After saying that, Chen Feng took out his phone to check the time. Seeing that Ms. Chen was still standing there in a daze, he frowned and urged, "I'll give you 10 minutes."

Only then did Sister Chen realize what was happening. She hurriedly took out her phone, went to the balcony, and called her manager.

Actually, it didn't take 10 minutes, only about 3 minutes, before Sister Chen came running over with a big smile and said, "Mr. Chen, our manager has agreed. He said he'll be right over. Would you like to wait here a little longer?"

Chen Feng shook his head and said, "There's no need for him to come over. Let's go directly to your store to sign the contract. I'll make a call to my lawyer."

After saying that, Chen Feng took out his phone and called a real estate lawyer he had worked with before. Sister Chen, after a moment of stunned silence, immediately picked up her phone and called the manager, telling him not to come over.

After waiting for about ten minutes, Chen Feng and his group returned to the real estate agency. The balding store manager stood at the entrance with a big smile, welcoming them and warmly leading them inside. Of course, he treated them with great hospitality.

After sitting for a few minutes, Chen Feng took a sip of the Longjing tea they had brewed and served, and then asked them to bring out the contract.

The contract was handed over quickly, and Chen Feng and Shen Lin each took a copy and began to read it. Neither of them knew much about this area, but they had a general understanding; of course, it was essential to consult a professional lawyer.

A dozen minutes later, Lu Guancheng, a real estate lawyer who had worked with Chen Feng several times, arrived with two assistants. He actually had other cases to attend to, but since Chen Feng had called personally, he naturally came to greet him personally.

With a professional lawyer present, the contract is certainly without any problems.

Half an hour later, Chen Feng had Shen Lin sign the papers, and then the group went to the bank, where Chen Feng completed the transfer of 3000 million yuan. The next step was to handle various transfer procedures and obtain the property certificate.

This will be handled entirely by lawyer Lu Guancheng, with the real estate agency providing full cooperation. The property certificate can be obtained in as little as three or four days.

The group emerged from the bank. Chen Feng appeared relaxed and calm. However, Shen Lin and Tang Yue were still utterly shocked, looking completely bewildered, as if they were dreaming—it all seemed so unreal. (End of Chapter)
