Free Web NovelChapter 630: Chapter 223 Zhong Tingyue: Senior, do you want to sleep together?_2
Li Yuan and Zhong Tingyue held hands while admiring the neighborhood, their faces radiating satisfaction.
Although Jinxiu Villas, Jiangnan Garden, and Emerald Mansion were all high-end neighborhoods, they seemed somewhat inferior to the ambiance of Xinghe Bay. The greenery and environment here were undoubtedly better.
Wang Jun pointed to a row of villas hidden among the greenery and smiled. "Mr. Li, the house we’re going to see is this one right here, number 16. There are only 36 detached villas in the entire Xinghe Bay, and all have been sold out."
Li Yuan followed Wang Jun to villa number 16. It was 2008, and many houses were built in a more Western style. This was especially true for the detached villas in Xinghe Bay, which had a very European-American feel.
The entrance on the ground floor opened to a garden of about fifty to sixty square meters. Upon entering, one would find the living room, which even had a framed piece of calligraphy that read "Heaven Rewards the Diligent."
Li Yuan glanced at the living room’s decor and thought it was quite nice.
With a smile, Wang Jun began his introduction. "Mr. Li, this floor has the living room and the kitchen, along with two other rooms that could serve as a guest room and a maid’s room. There’s also one common bathroom..."
Li Yuan looked at Zhong Tingyue and asked, "Little Moon, what do you think?"
Zhong Tingyue’s beautiful eyes twinkled as if they were full of little stars. The villa was even more luxurious than she had imagined. The size of the ground floor alone was bigger than the houses in Jinxiu Villas, and the decor was extremely exquisite, filled with a modern, minimalist style.
"Mmm, I think it’s very nice."
Li Yuan grinned and said, "Then let’s continue and take a look at the second and third floors."
Seeing that both Zhong Tingyue and Li Yuan looked very pleased, Wang Jun grew even more excited and enthusiastically led the way. "Mr. Li, Miss Zhong, please follow me."
The second floor contained bedrooms and a small living room, which included two master bedrooms, two secondary bedrooms, and two separate bathrooms. The third floor boasted a spacious balcony, a bedroom, two studies, and a private home theater.
Li Yuan nodded frequently as he looked around. This is the super-mansion I had imagined, a symbol of status and standing. If the property prices in Modu skyrocket later, this 600-square-meter mansion would cost at least one hundred million to start with.
"Mr. Li, come with me, let’s take a look at the basement."
"The basement isn’t counted in the square footage. It’s about 120 square meters and consists of a storage room, a gym, and a wine cellar, where you can store valuable items. When you’re free, you can also play table tennis or work out in the gym..."
Li Yuan observed the basement’s decor and layout. This would be the place to store valuables like jewelry, Gold, and antiques...
After viewing the entire house, Li Yuan was very satisfied with both the decor and the interior layout.
In the living room, they all sat down, and Li Yuan got straight to the point, "Manager Wang, my girlfriend and I are very satisfied with this villa. Let’s talk about the price."
Wang Jun sat up straight. Here comes the main event. After all is said and done, it always comes down to the price.
Thinking carefully about his wording, Wang Jun started to explain softly, "Mr. Li, Miss Zhong, this villa is one of the top-tier mansions in Modu. Across the entire city, it’s hard to find villas with a larger floor area. The original owner bought this house three years ago and only completed the renovations in March this year, spending over a million on just the renovations alone..."
Li Yuan, unimpressed, promptly interrupted Wang Jun, frowning as he said, "Manager Wang, just tell me the price."
Wang Jun, not embarrassed in the least, looked at Li Yuan and carefully stated a number.
"Twenty million!"
Hearing this figure, Li Yuan had yet to respond, but Zhong Tingyue was already so shocked she had to cover her mouth. Her hands gripped Li Yuan’s arm tightly, clearly startled by the price.
This was 2008, an era when the national average wage was less than 2,000 yuan, and the living expenses for most college students, like her roommates Ding Shanshan and Xu Tingrou, were only about five to six hundred yuan. Yet this house was priced at 20 million. Zhong Tingyue glanced at Li Yuan, her heartbeat accelerating. freewebnσvel.cѳm
She knew quite a bit about Li Yuan’s finances, much more than his rival, Bai Weixi. For instance, Bai Weixi had no idea about the transfer fee from the sale of the "Battle Starry Sky" game rights, whereas she had been with Li Yuan to negotiate and sign the contract.
But Li Yuan had also been spending a lot of money recently. Just investing in tea shops and buying ten storefronts had cost him 10 million, not to mention renovations, a warehouse, raw materials, and salaries, which all amounted to several million more. He had also bought several sports cars, started another company, and established the Zhihu website.
Zhong Tingyue looked at Li Yuan with some concern. Is there enough money?
Li Yuan, upon hearing the price, remained completely calm.
A 600-plus-square-meter detached villa, beautifully renovated and never lived in, is worth this price. After 2011, when Modu starts restricting property purchases, prices will skyrocket. The land value in Modu will rise dramatically, and detached villas like this, which aren’t cost-effective for developers, will become extremely scarce. Modu has an abundance of wealthy people, attracting many rich individuals from both home and abroad. In the future, there will be no shortage of buyers for such a detached villa. Its price will increase at least tenfold, if not more.
Li Yuan had already decided to buy it. He spoke calmly, "Twenty million? Okay, I’ll take it."
Hearing Li Yuan’s response, a huge weight lifted from Wang Jun’s heart, and his elation was no longer concealable. He looked at Li Yuan with a gratitude so intense it sent a small shiver down Li Yuan’s spine.
