Chapter 1747: Buying a House

"According to what you're saying, doesn't that mean if I start buying houses now, I'll definitely make a lot of money in the future?"

Fan Baobao looked at Zhao Fusheng and said slowly.

Zhao Fusheng laughed and nodded: "Of course. Let me put it this way: the houses I bought before have at least doubled in price now, and it hasn't been that long. Just think about how much profit there is."

Fan Baobao was silent for a long time. Clearly, what Zhao Fusheng said was a bit hard for her to understand.

After all, most of the time, Fan Baobao's mind had never been on this aspect.

"You, don't overthink it." Zhao Fusheng said to Fan Baobao with a smile, "This is just my own idea. Maybe when housing prices drop in a while, I'll be crying over my losses."

"No way!"

Fan Baobao glared at Zhao Fusheng and said irritably.

What a joke. If housing prices dropped, it would be their own family's money lost.

She wasn't stupid; of course she didn't want that to happen.

Zhao Fusheng laughed heartily. To be honest, seeing Fan Baobao like this, he found it quite cute.

"By the way, what about Xiaoqiang's situation?"

Fan Baobao remembered Wang Qiang's matter and asked Zhao Fusheng.

Wang Qiang had been in a bad mood since his breakup. Fan Baobao could tell when she had dinner with him a few days ago that the kid had been quite depressed lately.

"What about it?"

Zhao Fusheng looked surprised and said casually, "Just find him a few roles to shoot. People just can't be too idle."

"Huh?"

Fan Baobao looked at Zhao Fusheng blankly.

Zhao Fusheng shrugged: "He's just feeling empty inside after the breakup. If you give him something to do, he won't have time to brood."

Fan Baobao thought about it carefully; what Zhao Fusheng said was indeed correct.

"Alright, I'm going to accompany the kids."

Smiling at Zhao Fusheng, Fan Baobao said nothing more and went straight upstairs.

Zhao Fusheng sat downstairs, studied things on his own for a while, then laughed.

He didn't mind talking about business with Fan Baobao, but it was clear that Ms. Fan wasn't very interested in it.

Actually, this is also a way for couples to get along.

For example, you can't expect a wife or husband to know everything about the other's affairs, especially work matters. No one can report every detail to the other.

That's not a couple; that's two negotiation representatives.

Zhao Fusheng didn't want things to become like that between him and Fan Baobao.

The next day.

Just as Zhao Fusheng got up and was about to head to the company, Fan Baobao stopped him.

She wanted to buy a house.

"Go by yourself. Why drag me along?" Zhao Fusheng said helplessly.

With the year-end approaching, there was a lot of work at the company. He was busy all day reviewing documents and meeting with Dong Chenxi, Zheng Yao, and others.

There seemed to be no major issues, but many decisions required his approval as chairman.

"Just one morning. I already contacted them yesterday afternoon." Fan Baobao tugged at Zhao Fusheng and said.

Zhao Fusheng nodded helplessly and was dragged into the car by her.

With the chairman and his wife going out, Zhao Fusheng's bodyguards naturally had to follow. Wu Sijie, who was originally supposed to go with Zhao Fusheng to Future Group headquarters, was also dragged along.

Century Famous Garden.

Looking at the sales office of the residential complex where the car stopped, Zhao Fusheng nodded: "Nice location."

For a residential complex, the most important thing is its location.

The quality and size of the house are often internal conditions. What attracts customers' eyes most is where the house is located.

For example, even if you build a house in the suburbs like a villa, you can't ask for an outrageous price because it doesn't have that much value. No one would invest a large sum of money in a leisure place unless someone plans to be a hermit.

But a house in the city center, even if it's older and smaller, can still sell for a sky-high price. The reason is simple: it's in a prime location.

Getting out of the car, Fan Baobao made a phone call.

After a while, a beautiful woman walked out of the sales office. Dressed in a professional suit, she had an oval face with a smile, a graceful figure, and a name badge on her chest.

"Hello, Miss Fan."

The woman greeted Fan Baobao politely, clearly recognizing her.

After all, Fan Baobao was an actress and had some fame.

When she saw Zhao Fusheng, she was obviously startled.

"This is my husband." Fan Baobao smiled and explained.

She didn't want to be mistaken for being kept.

She had a marriage certificate!

"Oh, hello, hello." The woman was clearly surprised that Fan Baobao, so young, was already married. And obviously, her husband was wealthy and influential, otherwise, he wouldn't have so many people following him.

"Mm."

Zhao Fusheng nodded, purely out of politeness.

For him, he was just a guest today. As a guest, he had to have the awareness of being a guest and play the role of a prop.

Let Fan Baobao handle everything.

Fan Baobao naturally enjoyed this feeling. She asked the woman, "Can we see the house I asked about yesterday?"

"Sure, sure."

The woman quickly nodded and led Fan Baobao, Zhao Fusheng, and the others into the sales office.

"Miss Fan, these are the last few villas we have. Which one are you interested in?" The woman introduced the materials she had prepared earlier to Zhao Fusheng and Fan Baobao.

When Fan Baobao had called her earlier, she said she was an actress and planned to buy a house.

At that time, she thought Fan Baobao was buying on a whim, but now she realized they were wealthy.

"What do you think?" Fan Baobao looked at Zhao Fusheng, leaving the decision to him.

Zhao Fusheng shook his head: "You decide. Let's go see the house first."

"Alright, I'll pick a big swimming pool for my daughter."

Fan Baobao beamed with joy, her expression quite happy.

The woman's heart stirred. From the conversation between Fan Baobao and Zhao Fusheng, she realized that the two seemed to have been married for a long time, otherwise, they wouldn't be talking about children.

"Please follow me."

With that thought, she quickly led the way, guiding Zhao Fusheng, Fan Baobao, and the group toward the villa.

Generally, sales offices are built near the residential complex to make it convenient for customers to view the houses and for staff to promote. Otherwise, no matter how eloquent you are, if you tell the customer they need to take an hour's drive to see the house, no one would bother.

"Miss Fan, this is the largest and most luxurious villa we have, and of course, the most expensive. It has a width of twenty meters, a depth of nineteen meters, a land area of nearly five hundred square meters, a building area of over seven hundred square meters, and five floors in total. You can take a look at the environment. Here is the living room..."

Zhao Fusheng could tell that the woman was working hard. At least, she wasn't reading from a paper; she had memorized all the information.

To be honest, Zhao Fusheng was quite satisfied with this villa.

The first floor was the hall, and from the second floor up were bedrooms: two master bedrooms and one secondary bedroom, two bathrooms, and an open terrace.

The master bedrooms included an en-suite bathroom and a walk-in closet.

It looked quite nice.

"Miss Fan, what do you think? This villa is the best and suits your status and position. The original price is fifty-six million. I'll take the liberty—if you buy it, I'll give it to you for fifty-five million!"

The woman said to Fan Baobao with anticipation.

"Huh?"

Fan Baobao was stunned.

She had originally planned to use her own savings to buy a house, maybe a few million would be enough. But now the woman quoted over fifty million, and she was dumbfounded.

Zhao Fusheng looked at her and suddenly asked, "Is there a difference between full payment and a mortgage?"

"Uh, well..."

The woman hesitated, gritted her teeth, and said, "With full payment, you can move in the same day. All our units are fully decorated, guaranteed to satisfy you."

Zhao Fusheng laughed and nodded: "Then let's go with this one."

Turning to Wu Sijie, he said, "Prepare to transfer the money."

Wu Sijie nodded. When Zhao Fusheng sold his shares earlier, he naturally didn't hand everything over to Future Investment; he kept some for himself.

Of course, to avoid huge taxes, this money was controlled through offshore companies.

The woman was dumbfounded!

She never expected that she had only tentatively recommended the most expensive villa to Fan Baobao, and it was sold just like that.

What kind of man did Fan Baobao marry?

"By the way, have you done formaldehyde testing?"

Zhao Fusheng suddenly remembered something and asked the woman.

"Formaldehyde testing?"

The woman was taken aback, then shook her head: "No, we haven't. You are our honored guest; I cannot deceive you."

Zhao Fusheng laughed. This woman was really smart.

Generally, when a deal is about to be closed, it's actually the most risky time.

Just like with Zhao Fusheng's question earlier: if the woman had said they had already done the formaldehyde test, Zhao Fusheng would have asked for the results. If the formaldehyde exceeded the standard, the deal would definitely fall through.

More importantly, if she lied and said they had done it, and Zhao Fusheng found out they hadn't, or if the results were inaccurate after testing, Zhao Fusheng would definitely not let it go.

By honestly answering that they hadn't done it, she actually made Zhao Fusheng quite satisfied with her sincerity.

"I'll arrange for the test. Please cooperate."

Zhao Fusheng thought for a moment and said to the woman.

"Okay." The woman nodded: "But this complex has been built for over a year, and some residents have moved in. No one has reported any issues with formaldehyde exceeding the standard."

Her implication was naturally that the formaldehyde in the complex was not超标.

Zhao Fusheng chuckled. He quite appreciated such smart people.
