Chapter 1187: Chapter 1187

Lin Baici smiled faintly.

"It’s a pity my daughter’s already in her early 20s and studying in Europe, or else I’d really like to introduce you two!"

Fang Qiong showed her admiration for Lin Baici.

Lin Baici didn’t get carried away because this could all be sales talk and acting.

"What do you think of this villa?"

Fang Qiong asked with a smile, "If you like it and decide to purchase, I would be willing to painfully part with it and even knock down the price by five million for you!"

Feng Ting’s eyebrows twitched, realizing that the rich really don’t see money as an object.

"Don’t think I’m joking. A few million is just the equivalent of letting the kids buy one less sports car!"

Fang Qiong smiled confidently.

Lin Baici looked at Ji Xinyan: "What do you think?"

"The location is good, close to Haijing Polytechnic too, but the problem is that it’s too old!"

Ji Xinyan wasn’t afraid to speak her mind in front of Fang Qiong: "I feel that young people living in these kinds of houses would feel dreary and lifeless. It’s really better to buy a large flat."

"Also, the house is too expensive. If you buy it and then one day need cash urgently, it won’t be easy to find a buyer to take it off your hands, and honestly, its potential for appreciation is pitifully small."

Fang Qiong sized up Ji Xinyan, this college girl with some insight; her family must be in business.

Lin Baici nodded, then turned to Feng Ting: "Sister Ting, what do you think?"

Feng Ting thought for a moment: "If it can really be reduced by over five or six hundred million, then I think it’s worth considering!"

What’s wrong with it being a bit old?

A discount is all that matters!

Deep down, Feng Ting still favored practical benefits.

"According to the agency’s information, you listed it at seventy million, there’s definitely a markup there. Plus, you just said you’d give me a discount. So, here’s the deal, sixty million, flat rate, and I’ll buy the villa!"

Feng Ting was stunned,

What did I just hear?

She really wanted to ask, Brother Lin, you’re not joking, right?

This is purchasing property, no, a villa, worth tens of millions, not buying vegetables.

Fang Qiong was also stunned, then with furrowed brows, she gave Lin Baici a serious look: "Shouldn’t you discuss it with your parents first?"

Fang Qiong had good composure, not breaking out in rage or retorting ’are you making fun of me’ was already quite something.

"No need, I can make the decision!"

Seeing that Lin Baici didn’t look like he was joking, Fang Qiong stood up: "Please have some tea, I need to make a call!"

Once Fang Qiong left, Feng Ting looked at Lin Baici excitedly: "Bai... Bai Ci, are you really buying?"

Feng Ting swallowed nervously.

Suddenly she felt an indescribable sense of loss; sometimes she couldn’t even bear to buy a cup of milk tea, and here was this younger guy buying a villa as casually as if he were picking up a snack.

Ji Xinyan punched Lin Baici on the arm: "Are you out of your mind?"

"Even if you are rich and house, that’s not how you buy it. You have to maximize your returns!"

Ji Xinyan frowned: "From now on, don’t speak, I’ll do the negotiation!"

"I’m glad you’re not my husband, or knowing you spend money , I’d make you kneel on durians while typing every night!"

"Would cutting one million be okay?"

Lin Baici really didn’t understand these things.

"Yes, but only if there are absolutely no problems with the house!"

As Ji Xinyan spoke, she glanced at Feng Ting; it wasn’t unheard of for agents to collude with homeowners to swindle buyers.

"You mean quality issues?"

Lin Baici felt Ji Xinyan had many concerns, afraid that after purchase, hidden problems would crop up, so he looked at Feng Ting, waiting for an answer.

Feng Ting instinctively wanted to say there were no problems, but she hadn’t conducted any investigation; she only collected some property information.

It wasn’t that she was being negligent; mainly, she hadn’t expected Lin Baici to decide to buy at their first meeting when normally, negotiations would take several sessions.

There could be additional checks during this period.

Ji Xinyan spread her hands, signaling Feng Ting wasn’t trustworthy.

Lin Baici took out his phone and called Nangong Shu: "Aunt Shu, are you busy?"

"I would still attend to you even if I were heading to the guillotine!"

Over the phone came Nangong Shu’s magnetic and cheerful voice: "Back in Haijing? Come visit Aunt Shu soon when you’re back, I’ve missed you so much that I’ve withered!" Newest update provided by Nov3lFɪre.ɴet

Lin Baici glanced at Ji Xinyan and stood up, walking towards a more distant spot.

Ji Xinyan crossed her arms and propped up her legs cockily.

Seems like Lin Baici really does prefer older women?

"Aunt Shu, I have an urgent matter. Can you help me check if there’s any problem with a house?"

Lin Baici lowered his voice: "I can offer Ten Meteor Coins!"

"Nangong Shu taking your money?"

Nangong Shu expressed disdain: "In a hurry, right? Okay, give me the address, I’ll give you an answer within half an hour!"

Lin Baici reported the villa’s address.

Nangong Shu hung up to find someone.

After a moment of thought, Lin Baici also called Xia Hongmian.

"Director, I’m interested in a villa but I’m not sure if there’s anything fishy about it, can you help me check?"

As a top agent, it shouldn’t be a problem to trouble the director, right?

Xia Hongmian’s answer was brief; upon hearing the address from Lin Baici and replying ’I’ll give you an answer in ten minutes,’ she hung up.

"Typical of the state apparatus!"

Lin Baici couldn’t help but admire the efficiency, surpassing even Nangong Shu.

Five or six minutes later, Fang Qiong came back down.

"Reducing the price by one million is too much, half a million is the most I can do."
