My barrage in the wild can be withdrawn

Chapter 393 The new owner of Chen Mansion

"To be precise, it was 18 years and three months."

Steward Wu raised his chin slightly, with an arrogant expression on his face.

Hu Xinran said that no one knows this building better than the other party, not bragging.

When Butler Wu first entered the Chen mansion, he was still a young lady.

Now it is nearly sixty years old.

Although this house is not hers, she has long regarded it as her home.

Man is a very complex creature.

After staying in one place for a long time, some wonderful emotions will arise in my heart.

We call this special feeling nostalgia.

Butler Wu is a very nostalgic person.

This is why even if the homeowner goes abroad, he still entrusts the house to her for safekeeping.

The homeowner, who had settled overseas, passed away a few months ago.

Only then did his children sell the old house.

Butler Wu couldn't bear it, but she was just a housekeeper after all.

"Mr. Zhou, please..."

Butler Wu bowed deeply, showing a distinctive temperament.

Even if she doesn't like Zhou Chen, a "parasite" who gnaws on the old for a living.

But in order to show her quality, she still smiled and introduced this quaint old bungalow to Zhou Chen.

"It has been 86 years since the Chen mansion was built. Every brick and tile here is from the hands of famous masters. I can guarantee that even after 50 years, the modernity of this house will still be advanced, even if it is 100 years later. Years, I believe it will still not be outdated."

Butler Wu said with certainty.

Of course, this sentence did not come from her, but from the famous Italian designer Marco Verratti.

In this regard, Zhou Chen very much agrees.

At first glance, this old house looks like a very regular Nordic-style building, but as long as you calm down and observe carefully, you will find its mystery.

"This designer should be very familiar with the architectural style of our country."

Looking at the very Chinese-style glass ceiling, Zhou Chen sighed with emotion.

"Yo, I didn't expect that Mr. Zhou also has research on architectural styles."

Butler Wu was a little surprised, and immediately a hint of pride appeared on her face, "That's right, this glass decoration was made by the famous Italian designer Marco Verratti himself, and he once studied in the Central Academy of Fine Arts."

She smiled, and continued: "Oh, yes, it should be called the National Academy of Fine Arts at that time."

Zhou Chen looked at the stained glass ceiling, a little lost in thought.

"You like the glass ceiling too?"

Seeing Zhou Chen staring at the position above his head, Butler Wu said with a smile.

She didn't wait for Zhou Chen to respond, and said on her own, "To tell you the truth, this one is made up of 69 pieces of glass in different colors, with a full 45 square meter stained glass ceiling, and it's also my favorite. area."

As she spoke, she sighed, "Oh, when I'm bored, I'll just sit here and look at these glasses. It's 18 years and three months."

When Butler Wu was speaking, Hu Xinran secretly rolled his eyes.

"Well, it's really beautiful. If the glass is damaged, it may not be easy to repair."

Zhou Chen replied.

"That's for sure. Every piece of glass here is an antique stained window glass shipped from a church in Europe in 1940. Every piece is an antique and is worth tens of thousands of dollars."

Butler Wu spoke emotionally, as if she had seen it with her own eyes.

"Well, I think the most expensive thing is not the value, but the time. Every piece of glass here has witnessed those wasted years."

Zhou Chen also agreed.

Hearing this, Butler Wu's eyes lit up.

She thought that Zhou Chen, like the young people who came here before, was an ignorant and wealthy young man, but she didn't expect this young man to have such a deep understanding.

"Well said, well said!"

Butler Wu nodded and said.

"Hehe, it is indeed a work of art."

Hu Xinran said with some embarrassment, she smiled, "Damn, you guys talk first, I'll go out and make a phone call."

Hu Xinran couldn't take it anymore, she decided to go out to get some air.

"Go ahead."

What Hu Xinran didn't expect was that Steward Wu would be a little displeased when he left in the past, but this time the other party agreed very readily.

"Come on, Xiao Zhou, I'll take you upstairs to have a look."

Butler Wu ignored Hu Xinran and dragged Zhou Chen upstairs.

Zhou Chen also changed from Mr. Zhou to Xiao Zhou.

Don't underestimate this small change.

In many cases, the change of title represents a change of emotion in a sense.

now.

Butler Wu's heart has changed towards Zhou Chen.

Of course, this was what Zhou Chen wanted to see the most.

"Okay, Miss Wu."

Zhou Chen responded with a smile.

Butler Wu was taken aback for a moment, and then smiled brightly, "Just call me Aunt Wu."

"How can you, your appearance and figure are as good as my sister's."

Butler Wu said shyly, "Such a sweet mouth at such a young age, let's go."

Ever since Zhou Chen planted a seed of trust in the other party's heart.

Butler Wu's attitude towards him also changed 180 degrees.

She took Zhou Chen from the first floor to the third floor, explaining each room very carefully.

Almost from the pattern of the enamel tiles on the ground to the pattern of the crystal chandelier on the roof.

From the beginning to the end, Zhou Chen showed a humble and serious attitude, as if he was listening to an old professor's speech.

Butler Wu was also very satisfied with this.

In the end, it was Hu Xinran who interrupted the two of them.

"Damn, Sister Wu, the house is almost ready. It's time for me to discuss the price with Mr. Zhou."

Hu Xinran smiled awkwardly.

"Oh, that's fine."

Steward Wu was a little bit unsatisfied, but he had no choice but to give up.

"Mr. Zhou, I have told you about the price of this old bungalow before. What do you think?"

Hu Xinran pulled back her side hair, and looked at Zhou Chen with watery eyes.

"Of course there is nothing wrong with the house, it's the price..."

Zhou Chen rubbed his hands with a perplexed expression.

"1.1 million is indeed not a small amount, but we have communicated with the homeowner before, and this price is already the lowest."

Hu Xinran said very sincerely.

The sales commission of the old bungalow is 110%, that is to say, if Zhou Chen buys this order, Hu Xinran can get a commission of [-] million.

So she naturally hoped that Zhou Chen would sign the contract.

Seeing that the other party was still hesitating, Hu Xinran continued to follow the temptation, "'Chen Mansion' is tailor-made for you just by the name. Although the price of the old bungalow is high, it has a higher appreciation potential. Whether you buy this house to live in or Investing is a good choice."

"Our company is the only agent of this old house in China. There have been a lot of people coming to see the house recently. If you don't buy it, you won't have a chance."

"Such a nice house may only come across once in a lifetime."

Seeing that Zhou Chen hadn't responded yet, Hu Xinran continued to speak earnestly.

Zhou Chen rubbed his chin, still struggling.

He really likes this old bungalow, and with Zhou Chen's deposit and some shares, he should be able to raise enough money.

But this is not buying vegetables in the vegetable market, this is 1.1 million.

"Do you think this works? I'll make an exception and give up half of the sales commission..."

Hu Xinran said with great heartache.

The value of this house is 1.1 million, which is 110 million based on a 55% sales commission, and the other party intends to sell [-] to Zhou Chen in his own name.

Hu Xinran talked about making an exception, but this is actually a routine operation, and she has done this more than once.

Sometimes the real estate agent will take the initiative to give up part of the commission to promote the transaction, especially this kind of high commission, even if she gives up part of it, it is still a lot of income, it is better than one shot and two.

"I know you are kind, but this amount of money is a little bit."

Zhou Chen was still a little dissatisfied, but he knew that Hu Xinran had tried his best.

He looked at Butler Wu beside him.

Butler Wu hesitated for a moment and left the living room.

After Hu Xinran proposed to give up the profit, his attitude also changed.

Although enthusiastic on the surface, he has lost patience in his heart.

It is impossible for her to give up the profit in order to close the order.

When the two were at a stalemate, Butler Wu walked over with a smile, "1 million, if you want to buy it."

"What?" Hu Xinran was suspicious, she didn't understand, "Is Sister Wu talking about the total house payment?"

"Yes, they are willing to sell this house to Xiao Zhou for 1 million, and it can only be Xiao Zhou."

Butler Wu said firmly.

While Hu Xinran was still in a daze, her cell phone rang.

The call was made from the other side of the ocean, and the content of the call was just as Butler Wu said.

The homeowner is willing to sell it to Zhou Chen for 1 million.

If possible, next week the heirs of this old bungalow can go back to China to complete the transfer procedures.

After putting down the phone, Hu Xinran was stunned.

She didn't understand why the price had suddenly dropped.

You know, she has sold this house for more than a month.

Previously, a businessman in the steel business wanted to get 100 million cheaper from the other party, but the other party refused to do so. Today, he directly dropped 1000 million.

Hu Xinran didn't understand, but Zhou Chen did.

He has been refusing to agree just now, just waiting for Butler Wu.

Hearing that the other party dropped 1000 million, Zhou Chen didn't hesitate anymore and signed the contract directly.

……

On the way back, Hu Xinran wanted to speak several times, but he hesitated to speak.

Seeing that the other party was fidgeting, Zhou Chen smiled and said, "Speak directly if you have anything to say, the contract has been signed, what are you afraid of?"

Hu Xinran looked at the black and white contract in his hand, and was relieved.

She pondered for a while, and asked, "It's nothing, I just want to know, how did you get the other party to cut the price by 1000 million in one go?"

It's not that Hu Xinran has never been exposed to such an expensive house.

It's just that she has been a real estate manager for so many years, and she has never seen a homeowner who took the initiative to reduce the price by one-tenth.

Zhou Chen had already guessed that the other party wanted to ask this question.

He turned the steering wheel to the left, and the car made a perfect arc at the intersection.

Zhou Chen didn't directly answer the other party's question, but instead asked, "You have been to Chen Mansion so many times, have you thought about a question?"

"what is the problem?"

Hu Xinran was puzzled.

"How come such a valuable house has been in the hands of Butler Wu for so many years? And the windows are kept clean and spotless?"

Zhou Chen continued.

Hu Xinran thought for a while, and responded: "The owner of the Chen mansion went abroad many years ago. After they left, they will naturally hand over the house to a trustworthy person."

Zhou Chen laughed dryly, "Being a housekeeper here for 18 years is more than just being trustworthy."

He paused, and then said: "If I guess correctly, there must be inextricable connections between Butler Wu and this family."

Zhou Chen guessed right, but even Butler Wu didn't know about this relationship.

many years ago.

Butler Wu's grandfather rescued a drowning boy. The boy's name was Xu Yongchen, and he was the first owner of Chen Mansion.

Since then, the Xu family has owed the Wu family a favor.

Before Xu Yongchen passed away, he told his descendants that no matter what requests the Wu family puts forward in the future, they will try their best to satisfy them.

The Xu family has a solid family background, tens of millions is nothing to them.

Butler Wu thought Zhou Chen was good, that's why the Xu family offered to compromise the price.

"I see."

Hearing this, Hu Xinran also understood, but she regrets it now.

Stop slowly.

Zhou Chen waved goodbye, "Thank you, Manager Hu, for making the profit today!"

Looking at the passing car, Hu Xinran's face is like a highway toll collector, he seems to be smiling, but in fact he is full of helplessness.

Zhou Chen didn't care how Hu Xinran was feeling.

He was naturally happy to be able to buy the Chen Mansion at an ultra-low price of 1 million yuan.

It's just that he is still a little worried now.

Not enough money.

Zhou Chen's current deposit is 8500 million, which is still 1500 million short.

Just when he decided to call Han Xiaofei, his mobile phone received a ticket booking message from Zhonghai to New York.

This is the air ticket ordered by the "King of the Wild" program group for the contestants.

Zhou Chen checked the time, it happened to be June 6th.

Looking at the content of the message, Zhou Chen was a little thoughtful and frightened.

Isn't it time for the next challenge?

Is this a coincidence?
Or did the system predict that Zhou Chen would participate in "King of the Wild" a month ago?
Worried that he remembered it wrong, he turned on the system to check the challenge time.

Facts have proved that he remembered correctly, the next challenge time is June 6th.

No matter what, Zhou Chen felt that this was a very terrible thing.

After turning on the system, he also found a happy thing.

That is, the system still has 2904 points frozen, which means that he can withdraw 2904 million at any time.

After a little thought, Zhou Chen decided to exchange for 1500 points.

[Ding, points exchanged successfully! 】

[Current total points: 2386]

【Exchangeable Points: 1404】

“您尾号8882的储蓄卡账户05月29日15时11分55秒转账存入15000000.00元，活期余额100131540.32元。[建设银行]”

Borrowing money from Han Xiaofei or selling shares is naturally not as reliable as exchanging points for money.

Once the money arrives in the account, there will be no resistance in the subsequent links.

After the homeowner's heir returns to China, the two will go through the transfer procedures.

From today onwards, the Chen Mansion belongs to Zhou Chen.

Having bought an old bungalow, Zhou Chen naturally had to show off.

On the night after the transfer, Zhou Chen held a private party in the Chen Mansion.

He invited all his good friends, as well as the real estate agent Hu Xinran.

Holding the wine glass, Hu Xinran smiled and said, "It's a surprise that you invited me to the banquet. Frankly speaking, I don't think we can be called friends."

"Of course, in terms of relationship, we're not friends yet, but you paid 55 after all..."
