Reborn 10 years later: First, save 100 million Bitcoins

Liu Hongmei finally revealed her bottom line.

If the price is below 12, she will definitely give up.

Because the gambling debt is exactly 12, I can't possibly sell the house and still not be able to pay it off.

In that case, she would rather not sell it.

Xiao Feng recalled that someone was willing to offer 11.8 yuan, but Liu Hongmei refused to sell.

Therefore, 12 is indeed the bottom line.

The main point is that the house is indeed worth no less than 12 yuan, even if it is not demolished.

This apartment is 39 square meters. If the price is 12 yuan, that's only 3072 yuan per square meter.

If she weren't in a hurry for money, Liu Hongmei probably wouldn't have sold it for 13 yuan.

There was no other way; things had come to this point.

No matter how hard she racked her brains, she couldn't figure out that her husband had set her up.

Now, all he wants to do is pay off his gambling debts.

Upon hearing the price of 12, Xiao Feng first let out a long sigh.

"Sigh, forget it then, my target price is only 10..." Xiao Feng deliberately paused for a few seconds, "As for 12... unless... sigh... never mind..."

Xiao Feng's slow, halting speech made Liu Hongmei's heart race, like it was on a rollercoaster.

But it's obvious from Xiao Feng's tone just now that something's up.

"Unless what?" Liu Hongmei seized this last opportunity: "Tell me, unless what? As long as you can accept the price of 12, everything else is negotiable."

Xiao Feng deliberately kept quoting 10, just waiting for this sentence.

Xiao Feng looked embarrassed: "12 isn't impossible, but... I need to write an IOU!"

"What? An IOU?" Liu Hongmei's face turned almost green. "After all this talk, it turns out you don't have any money?"

Liu Hongmei had to sell the house because she urgently needed money.

We finally managed to negotiate a price of 12, but now we have to sign an IOU.

Of course, I disagree.

I don't really care about myself, but the creditors are nagging me every day. Who can stand being harassed by debt collectors every day?

"Don't get excited, let me finish."

"I have two options, it just depends on which one you can accept."

"The first requirement is 10 yuan. We can process it right now, and I can transfer the money immediately."

"Secondly, it can be 12, but you must sign an IOU, and the transfer of ownership must be done now. Of course, don't worry, I will transfer the 12 to you in one lump sum two months later."

"These are the two options; you can choose for yourselves!"

"If neither of those two methods works, then forget it."

The two solutions Xiao Feng offered were clearly not what Liu Hongmei wanted.

Liu Hongmei wanted a one-time payment of 12 yuan.

But this is also the only chance to sell it for 12.

However, it will take two months before the 12 yuan can be paid in full at once, and the property transfer can be completed now.

Should I write an IOU first?

Finally, Liu Hongmei told the truth.

"No, the reason I need to sell the house is because I have gambling debts, and people are chasing me for repayment every day, so I need cash."

"If it takes two months to pay off the debt, even without interest, I don't want to be harassed by debt collectors every day. I'm going crazy from all the harassment."

"Besides, why don't I sell it to you two months later?"

Hearing Liu Hongmei's words, Xiao Feng was exactly what he had been waiting for.

"I might not want to buy it in two months, but if I sign the contract today, I won't be able to back out later."

"And..." At this point, Xiao Feng glanced intentionally at Jiang Zhiming beside him: "Although you have gambling debts, I can tell from your husband's appearance that he has an extraordinary bearing."

"You can ask your husband to talk to these creditors and ask them for a two-month grace period. I believe your husband should be able to do that."

As she spoke, she gave Jiang Zhiming a meaningful look and said, "Don't you think so?"

Xiao Feng's words, which had ulterior motives, coupled with the look he gave Jiang Zhiming at the end, made Jiang Zhiming, who already had something to hide, feel that something was amiss.

Has my secret been discovered?

No way? How could this kid possibly know that I set up this trap for Liu Hongmei?

Impossible, he couldn't possibly know.

But if I didn't know, why did he look at me like that just now?

Moreover, how could he know that I could definitely negotiate with the creditor for a two-month extension?

For a moment, Jiang Zhiming couldn't understand it at all, but he still tried to remain calm.

"I don't have that ability. The creditor is urging me to pay every day, and I can't stand it. I can't write this IOU." Jiang Zhiming's attitude was firm.

"Really?" Xiao Feng leaned closer to Jiang Zhiming and whispered a few words in his ear.

As Xiao Feng whispered these words, Jiang Zhiming, who had been holding a tough stance, suddenly changed his expression.

It was as if they were being threatened.

His face was filled with panic, and he looked at Xiao Feng in astonishment. His Adam's apple bobbed, and cold sweat poured down his back.

Then… the tone suddenly changed, and they immediately changed their tune.

"Uh..." Jiang Zhiming chuckled awkwardly, "Well, let me make a phone call and talk to these creditors to see if it's feasible."

Then, Jiang Zhiming made a phone call in a very professional manner, pretending to be discussing something.

It's nothing more than acting.

After all, this whole scheme was orchestrated by Jiang Zhiming. He could afford to delay it by as much as two months, or even six months.

2 minute later.

Jiang Zhiming hung up the phone, a look of joy on his face: "It's settled. I just discussed it with them, and they said they can give me a two-month grace period. They won't come after me again during those two months, and there's no interest."

"What?" Liu Hongmei slapped Jiang Zhiming hard with her palm-leaf fan. "Then why didn't you do it sooner? If you could discuss it, why didn't you do it sooner?"

"Do you know what? I haven't been sleeping well lately, I'm almost going crazy."

"Don't get excited." Jiang Zhiming forced a smile. "I didn't expect this matter to be resolved, but they also said that it must be repaid in two months, otherwise the interest will double."

"No problem," Xiao Feng chimed in. "We'll transfer the property today, and we'll draft a special contract. I'll definitely transfer the full amount in two months."

"Otherwise, you can take the house back, and I will also pay a penalty of 2 yuan. No matter how you calculate it, you won't lose out."

Faced with this situation, Liu Hongmei was initially a little hesitant, but her husband Jiang Zhiming readily agreed.

They also helped persuade Liu Hongmei.

They indicated that they could accept it completely, since they wouldn't lose out anyway.

Moreover, it sold for 12 yuan. Although it was an IOU for two months, there won't be any creditors chasing us for those two months, so it's fine.

"Okay." Liu Hongmei confirmed again, "Old Jiang, are you sure they won't come urging us for the next two months?"

"Don't worry, I've already told them, they definitely won't come rushing us."

"Alright then." Liu Hongmei finally breathed a sigh of relief: "Let's draft the contract. The price is 120,000, and it must be paid in full before September 15th."

And so... the deal was finally done.

First, transfer the house to Xiao Feng and write an IOU for 12 yuan.

Xiao Feng must transfer all 120,000 yuan before September 15th.

Otherwise, not only will they take back the house, but they will also have to pay an additional 2 yuan in breach of contract fees.

Of course, Xiao Feng will definitely be able to transfer the money before September 15th.

As for why it had to be two months later, Xiao Feng naturally wanted to use the remainder of the demolition compensation to pay them.

It can be considered an eye for an eye.

Let them both feel bad too.

"Oh, right," Xiao Feng paused deliberately before signing, "What about our deposit? And the wear and tear fee?"

"Refund, refund, refund everything. Now the house belongs to you, so there's no wear and tear fee. The deposit will be refunded, and the remaining 22 days' rent will also be fully refunded."

Liu Hongmei smiled broadly; the house had finally been sold.

He was secretly delighted.

Do you really think you can just wait for this dilapidated house to be demolished?

Maybe in the next life.
