Chapter 1887 Chance Encounter
No matter what you are selling, adding a story to it will cause price fluctuations.

Wang Fugui's house was haunted, which allowed Zhang Xuezhou and others to take advantage of it.

Di Rang added the element of his own misery to his house in an attempt to sell it at a high price.

Zhang Xuezhou had to admit that Di Rang was a businessman and that he had chosen the right time.

In Chang'an City, buying a house not only requires qualifications, but also the consent of neighbors. It is difficult to buy a suitable house, and it is even more difficult to buy a nearby house.

Di Rang had a very sharp eye. After seeing the needs of Zhang Xuezhou and others, he directly proposed a top price for such a rich mansion.

The average price of this type of house is between one hundred and one hundred and twenty taels of silver. One hundred and eighty taels is definitely the highest price allowed by the Jingzhao Yinfu. This is also three times the price that Zhang Xuezhou paid for Wang Fugui's house.

Zhang Xuezhou wasn’t sure whether Di Rang really needed a gift to sell his house, but he did want to buy Di Rang’s house.

There is no other reason for this; the fact that it is close to Zhang's house is the biggest advantage.

But Di Rang’s house price was indeed higher than the normal price. Zhang Xuezhou didn’t want to buy a low-priced house, but he also had no intention of taking over a high-priced house and being taken advantage of.

"Lao Di and I have been hesitating for two days, and he kept saying that he was having difficulties. Alas," Rong Tianding sighed.

"Master Dongfang, I really can't help it!"

Di Rang looked embarrassed and sighed as he mentioned all the difficulties he had faced.

"Your price is a bit high," said Zhang Xuezhou.

"Those wealthy families often give gifts worth hundreds of gold. I have to go bankrupt to give one." Di Rang said, "Success can protect my hotel business and find an official career for my son. Failure means nothing. I have no choice but to be more cautious!"

Di Rang shook his head repeatedly.

For him, the more money he has to give as gifts, the better, and he has to give the gifts all at once, otherwise the small gifts he gives will be wasted.

This is also the path that small and medium-sized businessmen must go through: either grow bigger or give in to ensure safety and never recover.

Di Rang said that he would really give gifts, and the gifts he gave would be of high standards.

"Which adult are you going to give a gift to?" Zhang Xuezhou asked.

"Marquis Wu'an!"

"Master Tian?"

Di Rang whispered to Zhang Xuezhou who he was giving the gift to, which made Zhang Xuezhou hesitate for a moment.

Zhang Xuezhou had met Tian Fen before. Although he was not good-looking, he was polite and generous. Zhang Xuezhou even earned some medical expenses from the other's son Tian Tian.

The person to whom Di Rang was giving the gift was of very high status, so the required specifications would have to be extremely high, and a hundred taels of gold was a normal specification.

But as long as Di Rang succeeds in delivering the gift, the other party will get a good reward. Not only can he keep the inn, but he can also give his son a powerful minor official position in the court in Chang'an City.

Zhang Xuezhou couldn't help but be surprised at the person to whom Di Rang gave the gift. This was almost like when Song Fengying first started her business in Xijing City a few years ago, she suddenly had the opportunity to give gifts to a member of the Sequence Committee. Moreover, this member also helped solve Song Fengying's entrepreneurial problems, and even gave Zhang Xuezhou or Zhang Manqian some convenient positions in Xijing City.

The contrast was so strong that Zhang Xuezhou doubted whether Tian Fen could accept a gift from Di Rang, an innkeeper.

"Can you enter the mansion of Marquis Wu'an?" Zhang Xuezhou asked doubtfully.

"Marquis Wu'an is a humble man, and he never refuses any request for a meeting." Di Rang said happily: "It is difficult for me to enter other marquis' mansions, but it is no problem for me to enter the Marquis Wu'an mansion!"

Di Rang and Rong Tianding had been arguing back and forth for several days. When Zhang Xuezhou joined in, after a few conversations, he immediately realized that Zhang Xuezhou's attitude had softened.

"Since you have connections, I, as your neighbor, cannot block your future!" Zhang Xuezhou thought for only a few seconds and indicated that he could buy Di Rang's house at a high price. As long as it met the price set by the Jingzhao Yinfu, he would have no problem offering a high price.

Rong Tianding opened his mouth, then closed it again, and just watched the show with great interest.

You don't have to buy Di Rang's house to buy a house in Chang'an City, but looking for a house takes time and you have to wait for the seller. It is also difficult to buy a house that is suitable for the distance.

If not for this, Rong Tianding would not have spent several days arguing with Di Rang.

The change in Zhang Xuezhou's attitude stemmed from his knowledge of the recipient of Di Rang's gift. This was obviously good news for Zhang Xuezhou and was worth the premium paid for the house.

When Zhang Xuezhou stood up and invited Di Rang to go to Jingzhao Yinfu to change his household registration, Di Rang was overjoyed.

Zhang Xuezhou was Di Rang's right neighbor, and Di Rang invited his left neighbor Xu to accompany him.

The Xu family owned three food shops in the West Market. They bought at low prices and sold at high prices. Their family was well-off, but when they heard about the high price Di Rang was selling at, they almost wanted to sell their house.

Everyone chatted along the way, which made Zhang Xuezhou more interested in Xu's residence.

"Master Dongfang, we have been talking for a few days. My house was renovated last year. The house is very new. It cost a lot of money!"

Di Rang used to think that the Jingzhao Yin Mansion was not far from his home, but today, even if he took a carriage, it seemed as if it was a world away.

If Zhang Xuezhou and others took a fancy to Xu's house, his habitable house would have to be put up for bidding, and it would be difficult to sell it at a top price.

"I also renovated my house last year. My old man and Lao Di painted it with tung oil." Xu said, "As long as someone wants to buy it, my house can be sold!"

There were four people in the carriage, including Zhang Xuezhou, the neighbor on the right, Xu, the neighbor on the left, and Rong Tianding, who used his identity as a resident of Chang'an City to buy a house.

After some discussion, Xu also wanted to list her house for sale in the Jingzhao Yin Mansion.

The house she bought in Chang'an City ten years ago for sixty and a half taels of silver, not to mention selling it at Di Rang's high price, even if it was sold for about one hundred and forty taels of silver, it would be better than what she had earned in many years of business.

After selling a house, you can naturally buy another one. It is not difficult to move to another place and buy a cheaper house to make room for a new house. Xu is well-informed in the West Market. She even knows that several families are selling houses at prices much lower than this price.

After living in the house for more than ten years, Xu could sell it at double the price. She felt that this sale was a great bargain. She was stimulated by the price that Di Rang offered. She also kept muttering that she would sell the house when the head of the family came back.

"They are so shady when selling houses!"

Rong Tianding moved his lips and communicated with Zhang Xuezhou.

"Merchants are proud to sell their goods at high prices," Zhang Xuezhou said with his lips moving, "I bought 500 taels of gold last time, which is equivalent to 1,600 taels of silver. It is not a problem to buy a house like this. If we can buy a whole lot of houses where we live, we can have a good place to live!"

"Several old uncles Zhang have come to Chang'an City several times. They are not used to the life in the city." Rong Tianding moved his lips and said, "They said they don't have the ability to gain a foothold in the city and want to make a living by hunting outside!"

"Hunting and housing don't conflict. Having a house gives me more confidence!"

Zhang Xuezhou whispered.

Regardless of whether the many people in Zhangjiazhuang are used to living here, and whether they can make a living in Chang'an City by their own abilities, there is nothing wrong with having an extra house.

If we can bring back another group of Zhangjiazhuang people from Huainan in the future, they will have a place to stay.

As long as there is a house for sale near him, Zhang Xuezhou feels that he will buy it if he has enough money.

The carriage drove straight to the Jingzhao Yin Mansion, and Zhang Xuezhou decided to quickly complete the procedures for Di Rang's house.

When he arrived at Jingzhao Yinfu and got off the carriage, he happened to see Han Anguo, a wealthy and generous man who had given him gifts and a great monk who had come to Chang'an City to seek an official position.
