Chapter 1132 Buying Real Estate
Although the houses that Laura helped Suning contact were all nearby, most of them had already been rented by students from Aalto University, and the one or two that were left did not meet Suning's expectations.

If I have to spend a lot of money to rent a house or share it with others, it would be better to just stay in the school dormitory. So after looking at Suning for the whole morning, I still felt dissatisfied.

At this moment, Laura suddenly felt a little discouraged and looked at Su Ning in front of her and asked, feeling that Su Ning's requirements for the house were too harsh, "What? You have looked at three or four houses, and you haven't found anything you are satisfied with?"

Then Su Ning stated his requirements. He had already decided to buy a house. "Laura, I don't want to share a house with others. I feel more comfortable living alone. Is there any house nearby that meets my expectations?"

"There is indeed a house like this, but it's a single-family two-story townhouse, and the owner wants to rent it out or sell it as a whole."

"Then go and have a look! Whether it's suitable or not, I'll treat you to lunch."

"Okay! This is the last house we're going to see. If you still don't like it, my mission will be accomplished."

"No problem! I'm a little tired from running too."

Then Suning followed the angry Laura to a row of villas. Suning found that this place was closer to Aalto University. It was said that most of the people living here were professors teaching at Aalto University.

The surrounding environment is naturally incomparable to the apartments we just saw. Both the security and the various hardware facilities are excellent. At present, it really meets Suning’s requirements.

When Suning followed Laura and rang the doorbell of a house, he found that the person who opened the door was also a middle-aged Chinese woman, with an arrogant look on her face that kept people at a distance.

The middle-aged woman looked at Suning and Laura with an unkind expression and asked, "Excuse me, do you have any questions?"

Laura on the side explained with a smile on her face, “Hello, Mrs. Rong! I just called you to make an appointment. We are here to see your house.”

"Oh? Then you should know that we rent or sell the entire thing, right?"

At this time, Suning on the side directly took over and explained, "I know! If it's suitable, just take it."

"Oh! Then come in! Remember to change into slippers at the door."

Naturally, Suning felt a little disgusted by the attitude of the female landlord, but he also knew that these people had very weird trains of thought, so he just got used to it and didn't take it to heart.

Anyway, I came here to rent or buy a house, not to discuss marriage, so there is really no need to worry too much about the other party's attitude.

Then, after changing into slippers, Suning and Laura began to tour the house carefully. They looked around the rooms upstairs and downstairs, including the basement of the villa. They felt that this house was indeed much better than the ones they had seen just now, and it completely met all of Suning's expectations for the house.

Soon, the homeowner, Mrs. Rong, looked at Su Ning and Laura in front of her with a smug look and asked, "How is it? My house is pretty good, right? Aalto University is only 200 to 300 meters away. It's definitely the best prime location in Helsinki."

Laura, who had no way to make the decision, naturally looked at Su Ning on the side, but Su Ning looked directly at Mrs. Rong and asked, "Mrs. Rong, I plan to buy it in full. Do you know if there is any discount?"

Hearing Suning's offer of full payment, Mrs. Rong's attitude changed. She even unconsciously used her hometown dialect to communicate with Suning, "Oh? What's your name, sir?"

Su Ning also used Mandarin to communicate with Mrs. Rong, which confused Laura, who didn't understand Chinese. "My surname is Lin, and I'm an international student at Aalto University this year."

"Mr. Lin, I spent 1.2 million euros when I bought this house. The housing prices in Helsinki have skyrocketed in the past two years, so if you really want to buy it, you must pay 1.5 million euros, but this definitely does not include the furniture."

Suning didn't have the bad habit of using second-hand furniture and appliances, but he still wanted to bargain down the price. "It's too expensive! Pay in full! One million three hundred and fifty thousand euros, and take away all the furniture and appliances."

As expected, upon hearing that Suning had slashed directly at her aorta, the homeowner, Mrs. Rong, said sarcastically with displeasure, "Mr. Lin, this isn't our country. Bargaining like that isn't allowed."

"Mrs. Rong, I'm just an ordinary international student, not a real estate speculator or nouveau riche as you think. So 1.35 million euros is already my bottom line."

Although she knew that what Su Ning said made a lot of sense, Mrs. Rong was still unwilling to give up and offered a suggestion, "Why don't you consider getting a bank loan?"

"Mrs. Rong, there's no need for us to say anything more. If you're serious about selling this house, then just pay me the price. If you're really not willing, we can look at other properties."

"This..." To be honest, the price of 1.35 million is too low, but the original owner who is eager to sell is also very conflicted.

At this time, Su Ning naturally saw the Chinese man's entanglement, and then asked Laura, who did not understand Chinese, to leave. "Mrs. Rong, I'm sorry to bother you today. Let's go take a look somewhere else."

"Wait!" However, the original owner, eager to sell, finally stopped Su Ning. After a tense and emotional struggle, he gritted his teeth and agreed to the price. "Okay! It's 1.35 million euros as you said."

"Okay! Let's go to the Helsinki court tomorrow to handle the formalities and sign the contract."

However, Mrs. Rong, who was in a hurry to use the money, looked at Su Ning eagerly and asked, "Mr. Lin, can you go this afternoon? I really need the money urgently."

Looking at the anxious owner in front of him, Suning realized that such a prime location was indeed a good deal. "Alright! As long as you can prove that the property rights and land use rights of this house are in your hands, it will be fine."

"Don't worry! Chinese people don't cheat Chinese people."

After basically reaching an agreement with the original owner, Suning left with Laura, who looked confused.

Because Laura couldn't understand the Mandarin they were talking about, she looked at Su Ning beside her and asked, "Lin, what did you say to Mrs. Rong just now? Why can't I understand a word?"

Suning said casually with a smile on his face, "Chinese!"

"No! I mean, did you guys reach an agreement?"

"It's done! One million and a half euros for the property."

Hearing that Suning was so arrogant, the blonde Laura couldn't help but widen her eyes in shock. "Oh my God! One million and a half euros! I didn't expect you to be a wealthy man from the East."

"Normally! I've made an appointment with this Mrs. Rong to go to the court this afternoon to handle the formalities and sign the contract."

"Wow! Looks like we need to hire a professional real estate lawyer. You know, buying a property in Finland is a very troublesome thing, and there are countless hidden traps that you can't see."

"Don't worry! I've already made arrangements. A professional lawyer will be with us this afternoon."

"That's great! After the real estate transaction is completed, can I have a party at your house?"

"Of course! You can call all your friends over then, but there's one thing: no contraband can appear in my house."

"Huh? Why? The laws in Finland aren't that strict about this."

"Laura, we Chinese have a deep-seated aversion to contraband. This is a bottom line issue that cannot be compromised."

"Okay! Lin, I respect your decision."

Although Laura couldn't understand Suning's request due to cultural differences, she eventually accepted Suning's advance instructions. After all, Suning was the real owner of the house.

As we all know, Finland is located in northern Europe and had completed its industrial layout as early as the beginning of the last century. Therefore, Finland is one of the most developed countries in the world.

At the same time, the welfare benefits and living conditions of the people are also unique in the world. Even the United States, the world's number one superpower, is far behind, so many foreigners want to successfully immigrate to Finland.

In addition, due to the long-standing feud between Finland and Russia, Finland has long enacted laws to deny and restrict Russians' eligibility to purchase houses. Of course, these have little to do with Suning, a Chinese.

This also indirectly proves the difficulty and complicated procedures of buying real estate in Finland, so Suning specially arranged for a professional AI robot lawyer to accompany him to the court. Sure enough, many hidden dangers and loopholes were discovered that afternoon.

Mrs. Rong, the original owner of the house, was also convinced. She hadn't expected Suning's lawyer to find so many loopholes. "Mr. Lin, I didn't expect you to be so well prepared."

"There's nothing I can do! I've heard a lot about the strict real estate policies in Finland. If I don't address these loopholes before the transaction, there will only be endless trouble in the future."

"That's right! If we had consulted a professional lawyer in advance when we bought this house, we wouldn't have encountered so many problems."

"Mrs. Rong, let's sign the contract and complete the deal, shall we?"

"it is good."

After Suning and the original owner, Mrs. Rong, signed the property contract, Suning directly transferred 1.35 million euros to Mrs. Rong, and then completed a series of complicated transaction procedures. From then on, this detached villa belonged completely to him.

Then the original owner, Mrs. Rong, acted very quickly and completed the move that night. When Suning and Laura came in with the keys to check, there was no furniture or items inside the villa.

"Lin, why didn't you leave the furniture?"

"I don't like using second-hand furniture, so I asked Mrs. Rong to move everything out."

"So you want a complete renovation?"

"No need! All the new furniture will be here tomorrow morning."

"Lin, have you ordered new furniture?"

"Yes! I can move in tomorrow at noon."

Suning's space world naturally has all kinds of daily necessities. If he wasn't worried about not being able to explain it to Laura, he could put all the furniture in order right now.

Then Suning and Laura left the villa and happily ran to a restaurant to celebrate. Laura did not expect that the junior classmate she met by chance would be a rich man.

"Lin, do you miss the taste of your hometown?"

"How to say?"

"I know there are a lot of Chinese restaurants in Helsinki. How about we go have Chinese food tonight?"

“Laura, are you used to eating this?”

"Not bad! I really like the noodles in your Chinese food."

"Okay! Then you lead the way!"

Suning naturally knows that the most popular businesses opened by Chinese people abroad who like to compete internally are restaurants. Even in sparsely populated Western cities, there may be a Chinese restaurant. Therefore, as the capital of Finland, Helsinki naturally has no shortage of Chinese business footprints.

Then Laura took Suning on a subway, and after getting off the subway, they walked for a long time before arriving at a ramen restaurant specializing in Chinese noodles.

However, when Suning walked into the ramen restaurant, he was surprised to find that this was the place and characters at the beginning of the story. He suddenly felt that the world was sometimes not very big.

"Excuse me, how many of you are there?"

"Just two of you! One tomato scrambled eggs, one pot-fried pork, and two bowls of special noodles."

"Okay! Should we have the taste according to the Chinese people or the Finnish people?"

"Of course it's the taste of Chinese people! The two dishes we ordered are very considerate of the Finnish people."

"Haha, okay! I'll be right there."

"Suning, you are communicating with your compatriots in Chinese again. I can't understand what you are saying at all."

"Many Chinese restaurants abroad adapt their dishes to local tastes, so the boss just asked me if I was following Chinese tastes."

"I see! I didn't expect there was a hidden menu."

"Not really! But I can teach you Chinese. I just don't know if you're willing to learn it."

"Learn Chinese? I've heard Chinese is very difficult to learn. I'm worried I don't have the language skills."

"It's okay! I'm here! I can definitely help you get started quickly."

"Okay! Let's go to the hotel after dinner, and then you can teach me well."

"..." Su Ning was stunned when he heard Laura's sudden words. The meaning of "learning a foreign language" was really too profound.

Soon, the owner of the ramen shop personally brought up two dishes and two bowls of noodles. Laura took a bite and felt that they were indeed different. Naturally, she was very happy and gave Suning a thumbs up.

"Lin, your Chinese food is indeed more authentic. It tastes much better than the Chinese food I ate before."

"If you like it, eat more! I'll cook for you myself someday. My cooking skills will definitely amaze you."

"Okay!"
