Chapter 196 House Viewing

Although the electric car looks a bit shabby, its functions are still fine.

Apart from being a bit cold due to the winter wind, Jin Qixuan had a pretty good time riding.

The most important thing is that there is no traffic jam.

Jin Qixuan thought that he would buy one for himself later. It would be so comfortable to ride it in the spring and autumn and feel the breeze.

It would be perfect if Lee Ji-eun was sitting behind me and hugged my waist, and I could make an emergency stop to enjoy the benefit.

But this electric car is really worthy of praise.

Because the terrain on this side of the peninsula is not flat, there are many hillsides.

So when going uphill, it was obviously unable to bear the burden of over 300 pounds, and the power was insufficient, so Jin Qixuan and the intermediary brother had to row it with their feet.

The two people's funny actions, like turtles paddling in the water, attracted passers-by to stop and watch, and many people took out their mobile phones to record videos.

Even though he had a helmet covering his face, Jin Qixuan still felt a little embarrassed and finally chose to get off and push it.

This electric bike is actually quite heavy, and it’s a bit tiring to push, especially when going uphill.

In order to save energy, Jin Qixuan gently turned the handle.

As a result, without the burden of more than 300 pounds, the electric bike was like a wild horse that had broken free from its reins. It rushed out with a "whoosh" and almost caused Jin Qixuan to fall.

Fortunately, Jin Qixuan got rid of it in time, so he was safe, but the car was destroyed.

Without balance control, the electric bike fell to the ground after running a few meters.

The already broken electric bike was instantly torn apart by the fall, and the basket and rearview mirror fell off...

Jin Qixuan and the real estate agent looked at each other, and the atmosphere was extremely awkward for a moment as passers-by around them laughed.

"Hey, how much did you pay for this car?"

"15 million..."

Seeing the intermediary squatting on the ground with a distressed look on his face, and trying to put the parts back together, Jin Qixuan said embarrassedly:

"15 is quite... appropriate. Don't bother with it. I'll compensate you with a new one later."

"It doesn't matter. It's destined to suffer this fate."

No matter how heartbroken the agent was, he had no choice but to throw it to the sanitation worker for disposal.

After all, if Jin Qixuan goes through with this deal, he will get 2.1 million yuan in agency fees. Not to mention an electric car, he can even buy an apartment.

"Peninsula House Sales Law: For properties above NT$9 million, the agency fee and service fee for both the buyer and the seller are % (negotiable)"

Following the directions given by the real estate agent, the two walked through many twists and turns and arrived at the entrance of the community.

Even though the agent showed the security guard his work ID, he still had to call the original owner to confirm his identity before the two of them were allowed to enter the park.

The park is not too big, after all, there are not many households in the entire community, but it has all the luxury it should have.

Passing the mirrored water mirror art sculpture at the entrance and going through the automatic sensor door, what comes into view is the 6-meter-high entrance lobby.

Then, the 24-hour butler at the side of the gate bowed respectfully to the two of them and greeted them.

They look a bit like the waiters in a hotel lobby, but actually they only serve the ten owners upstairs.

On the way to the elevator, there is also a slowly flowing beaded water wall.

While leading the tour, the real estate agent introduced the owner's background to Jin Qixuan.

"The original owner was a foreign exchange trader and had only lived there for a year. Everything in the house was new."

"It's like a human-shaped formaldehyde processor, helping you purify the air in your house."

I have to say, once he reached his professional field, the agent's whole aura changed.

Shun exudes a sense of confidence and ease.

Seeing this, Jin Qixuan couldn't help but praise that the person Xiao Li found was indeed reliable.

Of course, if there hadn’t been the electric car incident, Jin Qixuan’s impression of him might have been even higher.

After hearing his introduction, Jin Qixuan asked curiously:
"Is foreign exchange so profitable? Then why would he sell his house?"

"Because of the high foreign exchange risk, he doesn't plan to trade in Korean won anymore. It is said that he has some problems with capital turnover, so he is anxious to immigrate to LA."

In order to get this 2.1 million yuan, the intermediary guy has to find out everything clearly and provide the best service.

Jin Qixuan nodded and followed him into the elevator to the 13th floor.

When I walked out of the elevator, the agent introduced:

"This building has four elevators per household. The elevator lobby is more than 40 square meters, and is about the same length as a bowling track. If it's cloudy or rainy, you can even walk your dog here."

Then, he arrived at the door and the agent entered the password. Then, a special sound effect of the safe door opening sounded and the double doors opened automatically.

"This door is two meters wide, so large furniture can be easily moved in. The brand of this door is a customized version made by Italian manufacturer Di Rui, which has the elements of a safe door. It is a standard door for luxury homes."

When you enter the room and pass the entrance hall, what comes into view is not the regular living room, but the lobby.

This type of lobby space is commonly seen in large exhibition halls or larger single-family villas.

It’s not very practical, but it’s very classy.

"I think you can frame the magazine photos you took and hang them on this wall for display. It would be a great feeling when you enter the door."

Not only did we do enough homework on the owner's side, but we also did enough homework on the client's side.

The agent basically memorized all the information about Jin Qixuan that could be found on the Internet.

When Jin Qixuan heard the agent's suggestion, his eyes lit up.

Is it okay to open an exhibition hall for yourself?
When the time comes, I will install a display cabinet and put all the prizes I have won in it.

Tsk, this lineup is coming up~
Seeing that his words touched Jin Qixuan's heart, the agent felt a little proud and then led Jin Qixuan in for a tour.

Turning from the lobby, there are hidden storage shoe cabinets on both sides of the small corridor before entering the main hall. The advantage is that they are simple and beautiful.

As he entered the main hall, Jin Qixuan's eyes suddenly opened up.

"Both floors here are 3.4 meters high. There is no main light in the whole house. The simple black and white tones are embellished with some dark gold elements. It is overflowing but not oppressive, calm but not dull."

"Please look up."

As he spoke, the intermediary brother continued to introduce Jin Qixuan:

"The track lights, spotlights and freely movable magnetic lights that we can see with our naked eyes all use the collection-level lighting system of Self Light, which has no glare or flicker, so you can't feel its presence. Self Light has also been the exclusive lighting system configuration for the LV Pavilion, Gucci Pavilion and the National Museum."

Jin Qixuan didn’t know whether what he said was true or not. Jin Qixuan had never been to the LV exhibition hall and the National Museum, but he had been to the Gucci exhibition hall.

But the question is, who goes to the Gucci pavilion to see the lights?
“Which country’s brand is SELF?”

"It's a Chinese brand, with its headquarters in Ningbo."

Jin Qixuan nodded. It turned out to be the pride of domestic products. Then he would not change it.

"Please take a look at the reception area in the lobby."

The intermediary brother introduced:
"The diagonal layout and two sets of corner leather sofas allow for comfortable sitting and lying, creating an intimate social atmosphere. Behind the sofas is a reserved circulation route, and with a large area of ​​windows, you can see the three rivers and six banks during the day and the flashing neon lights at night."

"And on the other side is a metal background wall, a real fire fireplace and scented candles. This creates a blues jazz atmosphere, especially at night."

Jin Qixuan nodded as he visited and listened to his introduction.

"After a good conversation, it's natural to toast each other."

The intermediary brother continued to guide and introduce:
"The dining table and chairs next to the reception area seat ten people. The entire set is from Polyphon. The dacron on the turntable can neutralize the dullness of the dinner and add a touch of lightness and elegance. There is also a Yamaha grand piano here, so you can ask the live-in nanny to play a tune while you dine."

Jin Qixuan glanced at the piano and said nothing. Are the requirements for live-in nannies so high now?

"This is a high-end fully-lit kitchen with double-sided light. The advantage of this design is that it not only has sufficient light, making cooking a pleasure, but also has a coherent and appropriate separation with the reception area."

"Two high-end sinks, BWT drinking water, Smeg bone crusher, Gaggenau 400 series family bucket, integrated cabinets, a total of ten pieces in one package. All the kitchen appliances are the same brand as Michael Jordan's."

Next to the kitchen is the nanny suite and laundry room. There was nothing to see, so Jin Qixuan followed them in, took a quick look, and then came out.

Then, the two of them walked counterclockwise back to the lobby to visit the master bedroom suite.

There is a wired glass door on the right hand side as you enter the room, inside is the open-style master bedroom dressing room.

Walking out of the cloakroom, there is a partition wall that does not reach the ceiling, which also serves as a whole wall of storage cabinets.

Seeing Jin Qixuan staring at the wall, the agent explained at the right time:
"The advantage of this design is that it can accommodate almost all clothes except those that change seasons, and it allows for daylight to reach the depths. It also serves as a partition, breaking the convention of having a bed right after the door."

Jin Qixuan didn't explain that he was just wondering whether he could put down his clothes.

Then Jin Qixuan followed him to the bed.

The decoration of the bedroom is not as luxurious as imagined with carved railings and jade bricks, but is very warm, simple and elegant.

The overall tone uses a lot of warm colors and incorporates the warmth of the fabric.

The agent pointed to the white wall panel next to the bed and said:

"Please look here. If I hadn't told you, you wouldn't have noticed there's a secret door, would you?"

"Oh?"

"Please wait a moment. The combination of this secret door is locked in a hidden corner of the cloakroom."

After saying that, he ran into the cloakroom and fiddled with it for a while, and the secret door in front of Jin Qixuan opened.

After the door is opened, there is another armored door with embedded steel plates customized by Di Rui, which has the same system as the main door and requires fingerprint verification.

However, in order to facilitate house viewing, these functions are temporarily cancelled.

The hidden space inside is not big, only about three square meters, and there is a safe in the middle of the room.

“This is where the original owner placed the safe, and things like family trusts, proof of assets, and huge insurance policies were simply placed here.”

Coming out of the hidden space, you will see the balcony outside the master bedroom.

"There is one such balcony in each of the southeast, northwest and northeast corners of the house, which is a panoramic balcony."

As he spoke, the agent opened the balcony door and said:
"It's a little cold now, but in the warm season you can plant flowers and grass, meditate, and in the afternoon you can look out at the mountains and rivers, watch the clouds roll by, and wait for the sunset."

She is indeed a professional, and her speech is much more vivid than Lee Ji-eun's dry one.

Jin Qixuan nodded with satisfaction and asked:

"When I looked up from downstairs just now, it seemed that few houses had balconies. They were all sealed off."

"Yes, the balcony can be enclosed. But our original owner should know how to enjoy life better."

"Ah."

Entering the house from the balcony, there is a mini water bar right in front of you.

Open the jade sliding door next to the water bar, and you will see the solid-colored master bathroom.

"The five-meter-long washbasin is cut from jade and seamlessly connects with the Swiss Laufen double basin. The mirrored cabinet is coherent and provides ample storage space."

Compared with the brands introduced by other real estate agents, Jin Qixuan felt like Liu Laolao visiting the Grand View Garden. The only brand Jin Qixuan knew was the Swiss Laufen brand, as he had seen it at Zhao In-seong's home.

This brand has a history of more than 130 years. It has applied the same energy it put into making watches to making sanitary ware, and the quality is quite excellent.

Opposite the washbasin are two separate spaces for the bathroom.

"All the faucets and showers here are made by the Italian brand, just like the guest bathrooms. They are the iPhone of faucets and showers. This brand focuses on avant-garde personality. Their stores are like art exhibitions, which are very beautiful."

Walking straight out of the master bedroom to the end is the original owner's office area.

Inside is a very regular and spacious office area with a vinyl record player, an Italian table football, a sofa area for chatting, and a balcony in the southwest corner.

The area on the second floor is purely for living.

Two suites, a separate bathroom, an audio-visual room, a gym, a small bar, and a small room for displaying luxury goods.

With the detailed introduction of the real estate agent, Jin Qixuan visited the entire house.

Afterwards, the agent made a cup of hot tea, and the two sat on the sofa in the reception area on the first floor and began to talk.

“How do you like the house?”

“Everything is good, but a little expensive.”

Based on Jin Qixuan's current salary, taking into account the room for growth, it would take at least three years of not eating or drinking to afford it.

But three years later, it will definitely not be this price.

"Of course it's a bit expensive, but after all, it's in the CBD, so it's convenient to go anywhere. The most important thing is that this house is 20% lower than the market price."

But on the actual second-hand trading website, there are only three houses listed for sale, including this one, so there is very little room for reference.

"It's 20% cheaper, but he wants cash."

That’s 120 billion in cash. How many promising Internet projects can be incubated with that much money?
Besides, there are not many people who can take out 120 billion in cash at one go.

At least there are not many people that Jin Qixuan knows.

"That's true. If cash is not convenient, we can also look at other options. There are two units for sale in Unit 155, one listed at 180 billion and the other at billion."

"Why is there such a big difference?"

"The interior decoration style, soft furnishings and other items are different from floor to floor, so the listing price will be high or low."

Jin Qixuan nodded, thought for a while, and asked:
"So there aren't many people living in these two buildings?"

"Yes, many people use it for investment. Actress Song Hye Kyo bought a unit in Unit 2 for investment when it was first launched. At that time, the average price was only about 100 billion yuan per unit."

Jin Qixuan was stunned when he heard this. Is Sister Qiao so rich?
Isn't Song Ge hooking up with a rich woman...

"What does the upstairs resident of this house do?"

"The owner of the upstairs is a venture capitalist, and he bought it for investment, but he has no plans to sell it now. You should know the resident downstairs, the singer IU."

Jin Qixuan nodded and continued to ask:
"In terms of price, can the original owner make some concessions?"

"This... probably not possible. After all, if all the things in this house are given away, the price of these items and the decoration will almost be one-third of the price of this house."

"Okay, how much are the various fees?"

"I'll have to calculate this, but it will definitely not exceed 10 billion."

120 billion for housing price + 10 billion for various handling fees, and you have to keep some for yourself, so including your own 32 billion, you are still short of 100 billion.

Jin Qixuan was counting the money in his mind when the metal security door outside the house suddenly opened.

After a while, another real estate agent brought a client into the house to visit and view the property.

Seeing this, Jin Qixuan raised his eyebrows, and a sense of urgency arose in his heart.

To be honest, when he was touring just now, he already considered himself the owner of this house...

"Okay, that's it for today. I'll go back and discuss it with my family and contact you later."

"Okay, I'll send you off."
