Chapter 177 The Four-Courtyard House Acquired (Part 2)

Mr. Luo did not go into the details of the entire process of purchasing the courtyard house with Xiaomeng.

However, Xia sensed something while reviewing the materials, and when she said goodbye, her attitude was much more respectful, even addressing him as "Teacher Luo."

……

So how exactly were these courtyard houses acquired?

Of course, he wasn't as nonchalant as Mr. Luo appeared on the surface.

Boss Luo had started planning a year ago. First, he spent over a million to hire a private investigator to investigate the situation of every family member who owned the property.

This includes their education, work situation, personal character, and any negative information about them, etc.

After obtaining all the information on their family members, Boss Luo's AI team began to analyze it, preparing to take them down one by one.

First, deal with the most stubborn family member who is most unwilling to sell the courtyard house.

One was a middle school teacher in his fifties, a stubborn old man. He always thought that capitalists had their eyes on their old house, and even if they offered hundreds of millions, they would suffer a huge loss. So he kept encouraging his brothers and sisters to wait a few more years, saying that the house might appreciate in value again.

So this person is somewhat educated, making persuasion particularly difficult.

However, he has a son who is a good student and has been preparing for the postgraduate entrance examination.

So the child was called in by their counselor and told that there was an opportunity to study abroad. After a series of written tests and interviews, the child was "lucky" enough to get the opportunity to study abroad and also received a small scholarship sponsored by the company, which was just enough to cover the tuition fees for the first year abroad.

Who wouldn't want to pursue a master's degree easily? Not only do you avoid the cutthroat competition in China, but there are also scholarships offered by companies. With such a great opportunity, only a fool wouldn't take it.

Although the company paid for a year's tuition, the cost of living in the country where he studied was quite high, with annual tuition fees exceeding two hundred thousand pounds. Furthermore, international students were not allowed to work locally. Left with no other choice, the parents, heartbroken for their son, had to find ways to support him back home.

The middle school teacher couple, after much deliberation, realized that their most valuable possession was their share of a courtyard house.

Around that time, employees from Mr. Luo's company came to their door very frequently to persuade them. In the end, they gritted their teeth and sold their share of the courtyard house, getting several million yuan, which they used to pay for their child's tuition.

Another die-hard who resisted the sale of the courtyard house was an old bachelor and a social outcast.

He usually engages in petty theft and odd jobs, earning a little money each day, which he spends entirely on alcohol. In short, he's a shrewd old fox who only cares about himself.

Boss Luo sent someone to visit the old man's home to persuade him, but the old man's attitude was very stubborn.

He always felt that he didn't get enough benefit from selling the courtyard house, so he declared that he wouldn't budge until those companies handed him 100 million yuan.

The problem is, his old house is dilapidated and, without repairs, it's not worth a hundred million.

This old man's favorite thing to do is to go to nearby construction sites and collect construction waste, because there are a lot of valuable iron, copper and other valuable materials in there.

One day he discovered that the fence of the construction site he frequented had been breached.

He immediately darted inside, like a mouse seeing a hole in the wall.

After crawling out, I found a huge machine covered in dust not far away, which looked like it hadn't been maintained for a long time.

Many machine parts were scattered haphazardly on the ground nearby. Seeing that no one was around and there seemed to be no surveillance equipment, the old man bent down, picked up a piece of iron weighing more than 20 kilograms, and left.

The old man hid the iron parts in the back of his tricycle, covered them with other scraps, and found a recycling station that specialized in buying such broken parts. He sold them for more than 1000 yuan.

Two days later, the incident came to light. People came to the door, saying that the city had cracked a case involving a group that stole large machinery.

Someone from the other party confessed that he was an accomplice, and the police came and arrested him. Despite his loud protests of innocence and his desire to return the 1000 yuan he had received from the sale.

However, the plaintiff did not accept this and continued to prosecute on charges of theft.

Finally, because the amount involved in the crime was exceptionally large (the component was certified to be extremely important, worth hundreds of thousands of yuan), and the component could not be recovered, the old man was sentenced to 10 years in prison and ordered to pay hundreds of thousands of yuan in compensation.

This man definitely couldn't afford the money. In order to reduce his sentence, he signed a contract with the acquisition company agreeing to sell his share. They took his share of the money and left.

The remaining families were not very resolute, but after Mr. Luo sent people to visit them a few times to persuade them, they all agreed.

So Mr. Luo spent less than 500 million yuan in total to successfully acquire that courtyard house.
