Chapter 31 Twenty Times Monetization
That middle-aged couple was stunned.
Both Zhang Jingshan and Li Changfeng were shocked too.
What was going on?
He could not afford to pay the school fees?
This...
How much were the trivial school fees?
"I'm sorry. Principal Zhou, you're right. As parents, we shouldn't have done that. Youyou's mother might be going through a hard time, and she didn't tell me that because she's having a problem with me. That's why I didn't know! Principal Zhou, what about this? I'll go and settle the school fees with you later. Then you inform Youyou's mother, asking her to send Youyou back to Bauhinia Kindergarten. What do you think?" said Ye Chen anxiously.
He was indeed unaware of that.
But even if he knew, he would neither inquire about that nor care about that if it was his previous self.
After all, he was indulged in drinking and gambling, living like a half-dead person. He cared about nothing else except drinking and gambling.
Now that he heard that from Zhou Xiaolan, endless guilt and self-reproach emerged in his heart again.
He felt guilty, and he blamed himself because of Youyou.
It was because he would be ignorant if Zhou Xiaolan did not mention that. Even if he had reached eighty-nine years old in his previous life, he would not know that there was such a past that befell Youyou before.
Zhou Xiaolan heard how sincere Ye Chen sounded as he blamed himself. He was entirely different from how he was on the first of June last year.
Zhou Xiaolan fell into a trance.
She even prepared herself to face the possibility that Ye Chen might go berserk. She also prepared to argue vigorously with Ye Chen.
Unexpectedly, he was so nice to talk to.
"Isn't it very normal for couples to have conflicts? But have you ever seen any couples, who have conflicts, trifle with their children's education and growth?" Zhou Xiaolan softened her tone.
"Yes, that's true. Principal Zhou, you're right," replied Ye Chen repeatedly.
"I need to apologize to you too. I was hasty, and I didn't control my emotions well just now. Don't take it to heart," said Zhou Xiaolan.
"Principal Zhou, you've exaggerated it. I should thank you for being concerned about Youyou."
Ye Chen said, "Principal Zhou, I need to trouble you and take up some of your time later since I'm going to pay the school fees. Is that okay?"
"No problem! I came with my friend because I'm free. I can take the time and go back at any time. When you've dealt with your business, come to me!" said Zhou Xiaolan.
At first, Ye Chen thought that Zhou Xiaolan wanted to purchase the houses. If that was the case, he might resell his deposit orders to her at a low price.
But hearing that she was not going to buy the houses, Ye Chen felt that it was unnecessary to mention the deposit orders.
They then exchanged their WeChat accounts and contact numbers.
After that, only then did Ye Chen walk to the sales department.
"Mr. Ye, I have friends who can contact those noble kindergartens. If you need that, I can help to transfer Youyou there!" As Li Changfeng was walking, he said so.
"It's fine. People need to know themselves well enough. I haven't reached the level of a noble yet. If I transfer my kid to that kind of noble school out of the blue, it doesn't seem like a good affair. If my kid is being bullied and humiliated there, she may feel inferior and traumatized. It'll be troublesome if I want to remedy it!" Ye Chen shook his head and said so.
Li Changfeng nodded awkwardly. Undeniably, what Ye Chen said was indeed reasonable.
At the sales department.
After Ye Chen walked into the place, he immediately glued his gaze on Xu Tong, who was as busy as a bee there.
"Manager Xu, you're quite busy!" Smiling, Ye Chen said so.
"Ah! Mister... Mr. Ye, it's you!"
The moment Xu Tong saw Ye Chen and Zhang Jingshan, he felt ill at ease all over.
Three days ago, those two people booked two houses at two hundred thousand.
Damn it! Unexpectedly, the policy launched by the government three days later had made Jin Lin Mansion the most popular and valuable real estate that was in high demand.
It was fine even if others booked the houses. Normally, the developer just needed to pay double deposits as compensation. Then it would be resolved.
However, the developer had sighed a series of fixed agreements with him when no one inquired about the real estate that was quite deserted.
Consequently, it could not be changed at all.
At first, the house could be sold at forty or fifty thousand per square meter. Now it could only be sold at twenty or thirty thousand to the two of them.
With that, the developer would lose at least twelve million by selling those four sets of houses.
Smiling, Ye Chen asked, "Manager Xu, what's the offer price of the two houses that I booked before?"
"Four... Forty-eight thousand!" Xu Tong gritted his teeth and said with a flushed face.
"Oh, forty-eight thousand. Based on the term in my deposit order, the amount exceeding eight thousand will be given a fifty percent discount. Then it'll be twenty thousand. In addition to the original fixed amount, eight thousand, it'll be twenty-eight thousand per square meter!" said Ye Chen.
He was slightly surprised to hear that it was forty-eight thousand.
During his previous life, it was rumored that the price had soared five times. He did not inquire about the detailed price at that time.
It seemed like the price had increased by six times because it was the most expensive and prestigious house.
But it was fine that way. He could increase the deposit that was previously one hundred thousand.
"Hmm!" Xu Tong reluctantly gave a slight reply.
Ye Chen smiled faintly.
He turned around and faced that middle-aged couple. "Sir, madam, this deposit order costs two million. What do you think?
Two million...
Xu Tong widened his eyes.
What the fuck...
He booked the house at one hundred thousand. Now he sold it at two million?
Did it soar twenty times in three days?
How sinister! He was more sinister than the developer!
"What? Two million? Do you want to resell the deposit order at two million which you bought at one hundred thousand? Aren't you asking for too much?" The middle-aged man's expression changed drastically as he started screaming.
He thought that it would only be five or six hundred thousand at most. Even if Ye Chen wanted to gain the highest advantage, it would only be a million.
But the moment Ye Chen spoke, he asked for two million.
"Am I asking for too much? This house costs forty-eight thousand per square meter. If you take this deposit order, you can get it at twenty-eight thousand! At first, you need almost a total price of seven million. But now you can get it at four million. I charge you two million to resell that to you. Is it over the line? The price of the house is four million plus the two million transfer fee. It'll just be six million. Not only can you avoid the trouble of attending the lottery, not knowing whether you'll get a house or not, or you may even get a worthless house, and it also saves you nearly a million. But you said that I'm asking for too much?"
Although Ye Chen knew that it was a human subconscious response, he still pretended to be gloomy.
In the beginning, Ye Chen thought that the offer price would be thirty or forty thousand, so he decided that he could resell the deposit order at one million.
At that moment, he learned that the price of the house was forty-eight thousand, so he asked for two million. It was not over the line at all.
After Ye Chen mentioned that, the middle-aged man was stunned.
"If you think that it's expensive, go and queue up. There'll be people who won't think that it's expensive. They'll think that they've gotten a good bargain!" said Ye Chen.
"No, Mr. Ye. Don't listen to him. It is cheap. It is not expensive at all. Two million, right? I want it. I want to buy it! I can make decisions in this. You have two sets, right? I want those two sets. Four million. I'll give you four million. Put those two deposit orders under our names!"
When the middle-aged man was still in a daze, the woman beside him had become anxious. She seemed to be afraid that Ye Chen would change his mind.
Two sets. In addition to Ye Chen's four million transfer fee, the total price would be twelve million. But the actual price of those two houses could reach fourteen million under the current situation, not to mention that the houses were in high demand. If it was very hard to get even one house there, the price would be more than fourteen million.
"You've been doing business for half your life. But you can't even get clear about this account?" The noble lady rebuked her husband in dissatisfaction.
Ye Chen did not mind that.
Smiling, he nodded and gave the noble lady his promise.
"Manager Xu, please help us to settle the transfer procedures!" Ye Chen looked toward Xu Tong.
"Sure. This way, please!"
Xu Tong glanced at Ye Chen with a complicated expression. But he could not refuse Ye Chen, so he started to lead the way.
Two hundred thousand became four million in three days.
That was certainly unheard of in the real estate industry.
