Rebirth 2004: I can make money by writing.
Chapter 278: Not Selling It to Me Is Your Biggest Regret (Part 3)
Frankly speaking, even if Hao Qiang really bought the property in Tomson One, he probably wouldn't live there for a long time even if he entered the business world.
His real purpose in buying it was just to buy a set to fulfill a little fantasy of his.
However, what is laughable is that even a super-rich man like him thinks the price is too expensive.
"Oh my god," he muttered to himself, "These days, apartments are selling for over 100,000 yuan per square meter! That's ridiculous."
Hao Qiang's reaction, to some extent, represents the attitude of a rational consumer.
Even the wealthy will weigh the relationship between price and value, and will not blindly pursue so-called "top luxury homes."
The prices are too outrageous. If we look into the reasons, it is nothing more than that the developers are overconfident and overestimate the purchasing power of the Chinese people, so they raise prices unscrupulously.
What is even more puzzling is that even though there has been almost no interest in the property for the past year or two, the developer remains stubborn and insists on keeping the price high.
It was not until the outbreak of the 2008 financial crisis that they were forced to adjust their pricing strategy in 2009.
Just two days after Hao Qiang left, the property's sales manager was forced out by his superiors citing poor performance.
This decision made the sales manager furious.
On the day of resignation, the sales manager revealed to the media that Hao Qiang had come to Tangchen Yipin to look at houses and originally intended to buy them, but was deterred by the high prices.
He also attached a photo of Hao Qiang's back as he boarded a Rolls-Royce Phantom.
Well, pictures speak louder than words, and it seems to confirm this statement.
The next day, a media outlet published a report titled "Shocking: There is a house in the business world that Hao Qiang cannot afford."
The article stated: “According to insiders at Tomson Yipin, on July 15, Hao Qiang visited the sales office of the property and expressed interest in purchasing several apartments.
However, after learning the price, he was shocked and said it was too expensive and he couldn't afford it.
In a market where the average price of commercial properties is around 10,000 yuan, the average price of Tangchen Yipin is as high as 110,000 yuan per square meter. Even super-rich people with 10 to 20 billion yuan in funds find it not cost-effective.
How many people in the world can afford such a high price?"
Hao Qiang has always been a hot topic, and this news quickly sparked heated discussions among netizens.
People speculated that Hao Qiang's visit might mean that he was optimistic about the prospects of the real estate market.
However, although he is optimistic about the development of real estate, he has not entered this industry.
Many netizens made heated comments under the report.
"Fuck, one square meter costs over 100,000 yuan. I worked so hard for ten years and still can't afford one square meter."
"The real estate company is amazing. The pricing is incredible. Even Hao Qiang thinks it's not worth it."
"The average price is 110,000 yuan, which is beyond the reach of Earthlings. Let the gods in heaven buy it."
“Haha, even gods would want to go to hell if they bought it.”
Countless people have fantasized about owning a house in the business world, even if it is only a few dozen square meters.
But when you think about this outrageous price tag, it makes women go through menopause.
Of course, what they don’t know is that in more than ten years, the average price in many areas of Shanghai will be over 100,000 yuan.
Hao Qiang thinks it is expensive now and that investing in Tomson Yipin is not cost-effective. It is better to invest in other areas.
After seeing the report, the senior management of Tangchen Yipin felt something was not good.
"Hao Qiang came to see the house, why didn't the sales manager report it to them?"
But now, the truth was revealed only after the sales manager was forced to leave.
Damn it, bastard!
Tomson Yipin is famous, but it is surrounded by negative news.
Even if I had money, I wouldn't buy anything there.
Hao Qiang is still looking for an ideal residence in the business world.
In the end, he chose Dongjiao No. 1 in Pudong New Area, which had just been launched, and bought a villa.
The entire villa has three floors above ground and two floors underground. The actual construction area is over 3,000 square meters, but the area stated on the property certificate is only 2,000 square meters.
In fact, there is often a difference between the property certificate area of a villa and the actual building area.
For example, a property with a property certificate area of more than 300 square meters may have an actual construction area of 600 to 700 square meters, because some real estate developers do not usually include spaces such as basements in the property certificate area, which can also reduce property fees and taxes.
This magnificent villa has an exaggerated building area and a land area of an astonishing fifteen acres, comparable to a private manor. It is obviously tailor-made for the super-rich.
The outdoor area is also equipped with a 35-meter swimming pool and a standard tennis court, which shows the luxurious configuration.
There are only more than thirty villas in Dongjiao No. 1 Community. The smallest villa in the community has a property certificate area of more than 600 square meters and covers an area of more than three acres.
The area around the community is home to many high-end villa communities, such as Dongjiao Garden, Hesheng Dongjiao, Oriental Villa, etc. It can be said to be a veritable wealthy area.
Although it is not a riverside villa, the surrounding environment is good, the area is large enough and it is upscale, which is why Hao Qiang took a fancy to this villa.
This newly built, completely unfinished villa was finally sold for 80 million yuan, with a discount of 20 million yuan.
Hao Qiang came to see the house, and the sales manager felt that he had to sell it to Hao Qiang even if it meant losing money. There were two main reasons for this.
First, there has been a lot of news about Tomson Yipin these days, with all the reports being negative, so it’s probably not going to sell well.
Therefore, it would be best if Hao Qiang could make the deal when he comes to buy a house.
Secondly, if the super-rich Hao Qiang really moves in, it will also attract other wealthy people to buy villas in this community.
The owner of a villa attaches great importance to the social circle within the villa community. If he feels that there is nothing to socialize with, he may sell the villa.
Hao Qiang also saw through this and bargained hard, directly asking for a 20% discount, which made the sales manager call the boss directly to report.
It’s a newly opened villa community, and it’s the king of villas. It would be easy to promote it if it could be sold.
Finally, the real estate owner personally exchanged a few words with Hao Qiang, thanking him very much for buying their villa.
Hao Qiang hung up after chatting for a few sentences. It was a normal transaction and he didn't owe anyone any favors.
Speaking of which, the decoration of this villa is very expensive. Hao Qiang feels that he needs to spend another 100 million yuan on decoration to make this villa worthy of him.
In the past two years, he has no plans to spend money on renovations and may not move in within the next two to three years.
Han Qingying was also extremely shocked when she accompanied Hao Qiang to see the villa.
"Brother Qiang, for such a large area, the monthly property fees alone will exceed 10,000 yuan, and we have to hire several maids to clean it. The maintenance cost is not low."
Hao Qiang laughed and said, "Of course. In fact, with such a large area, even if you live here for a long time, there are probably some places you won't visit throughout the year."
"It's troublesome to call people to eat."
"The only way is to call," Hao Qiang said jokingly, "Hey, Dad, where are you? Dad is in the study. Which study? The study on the east side of the third floor."
"Hehe, it's really like that. It's very tiring after walking a circle." Han Qingying covered her mouth and laughed.
Then, Hao Qiang and Han Qingying headed north and flew directly to the imperial capital.
After playing for a few days, I bought a courtyard house in Dongsi.
This courtyard covers an area of more than two acres, has clear property rights, has renovation potential, and has excellent privacy.
The price was certainly not cheap, with the unit price reaching 50,000 yuan and the total price reaching more than 70 million yuan. However, Hao Qiang still bought it without hesitation.
After the transaction was completed, he immediately commissioned a well-known decoration company to start the renovation, striving to transform this quaint courtyard into a residence that combines traditional charm and modern comfort.
The geographical location of this residence is unique. If you walk west from here, you will reach the solemn and dignified Tiananmen Square in a short time.
From now on, whenever your family comes to the capital for sightseeing or business trips, they can stay here with peace of mind.
Originally, Dongsi area, as the core area of Dongcheng District, has always been famous for its high-quality courtyard houses.
Comparable to it is the Shichahai area, which is close to Houhai and Shichahai Lake. It has beautiful natural scenery and a strong cultural atmosphere, and is also a favorite of courtyard house lovers.
After thinking about it for a while, Hao Qiang bought another courtyard house covering an area of about two acres there, spending 50 million yuan.
The budget for the two courtyard houses plus renovation and decoration reached 2 million yuan.
If you don’t buy this unique large courtyard house now, it will be snapped up by a big shot in a few years, and it will be difficult to trade it in the future.
As his property purchase plans in Shanghai and the capital were successively implemented, Hao Qiang felt an indescribable sense of satisfaction.
Once upon a time, these mansions that existed only in dreams are now in his possession. Their large area and high quality even surpassed his fantasies in his previous life.
All of this demonstrates the tremendous turning point in his life and the generous favor of fate.
