When Old Wang heard this, his brows furrowed, and he thought to himself:
"What does it matter to me if you can sell it or not? Is your situation more important than Youyou? She said that as long as I help her win her PK against other streamers tonight, she'll be my girlfriend."
Lin Yang was also surprised to hear Old Wang say he could get a 50,000 discount for immediate payment.
To be honest, old, dilapidated communities like Jinling Community, which are urban villages, have poor environments and mixed populations, making them difficult to sell.
Therefore, the prices listed with real estate agents for these properties are not high; in fact, they are quite low.
A house priced at 500,000 yuan, including the agent's fee, with an additional 50,000 yuan voluntarily cut off, would be a huge bargain if bought.
If his goal was just this one house, he would have agreed without hesitation.
However, Lin Yang's goal was not just this one house.
Half a month after the announcement of the Jinling Community's demolition, residents would receive ten times the property's value in demolition subsidies.
Naturally, the more he bought, the better.
It was a pity that he only had a little over 1.8 million yuan in total right now; otherwise, he would have bought all ten houses that were for sale.
His idea was to use the money he had to buy as many houses as possible first, and then buy the remaining ones after earning more money in the next few days.
After all, opportunities like this, to multiply assets tenfold in just over ten days, don't come often.
Old Wang saw Lin Yang's hesitation and furrowed his brows even deeper.
If he didn't get the money today, Youyou wouldn't become his girlfriend if her PK failed.
However, the price was already very low; going any lower would mean losing too much profit.
"Buzz buzz..."
Just then, he received a private message on Douyin:
"Brother Wang, I'm having my PK tonight, you absolutely have to make sure I win!"
At the end, there was also a photo of a long-haired beauty bending over, pouting, squinting, and making a heart gesture.
The moment Old Wang saw the photo, he instantly felt energized and immediately made up his mind.
He first replied to the private message:
"Don't worry, Youyou, I'll definitely make you win!"
Then, Old Wang said to Lin Yang:
"As long as you can transfer the money immediately, I'll give you another 50,000 discount!"
Lin Yang was stunned by this; the price was already very favorable, and he actually cut another 50,000 himself.
There could only be one possibility: he urgently needed money, otherwise no one would lower the price like that.
"No problem, I'll transfer the money to you after we sign the contract!"
"Hey, wait!"
"Young man, why don't you take a look at my house first!"
The older sister and Old Liu, who had followed them in, immediately became anxious when they saw Lin Yang preparing to buy Old Wang's house.
"I see you're serious, I'll give you the same proportional discount as Old Wang!"
"Me too, my house has a better location, buying mine is a guaranteed profit!"
"Are you sure?"
"Sure!"
"Of course, we're sure!"
Lin Yang's original idea was to haggle down the price a bit, but he never expected these people to offer such large discounts directly.
He could tell Old Wang was in urgent need of money, but the older sister and Old Liu didn't seem to be in a hurry for money, so why were they so eager to sell their houses?
However, no matter their reason for selling at a low price, it ultimately benefited him.
"Alright then, I'll take all three of your houses. Xiao Li, quickly prepare the contracts."
"Wh-what?"
Xiao Li couldn't believe her ears; houses in Jinling Community had been listed for years without a single one selling.
Yet, Lin Yang wanted to buy three at once; how much commission would she earn? It was truly a huge windfall.
"Brother Lin, please wait a moment, I'll go prepare the contracts for you right away."
Xiao Li first ran out in a hurry, and soon after, she brought in fruits, melon seeds, and drinks, placing them on the table.
"Brother Lin, preparing the contracts will take some time, please have some refreshments first."
"Mm."
Lin Yang smiled; although Xiao Li's attitude was not bad at first, it was a world apart from how she was now.
After about half an hour, Xiao Li had prepared three housing purchase contracts and brought them over for both parties to sign.
Old Wang's house was 400,000 yuan, the older sister's house was 380,000 yuan, and Old Liu's house was also 380,000 yuan, totaling 1,160,000 yuan for the three houses.
Adding the house where the murder occurred, which was 180,000 yuan, it meant Lin Yang only spent a total of 1,340,000 yuan to buy four houses, leaving him with about 500,000 yuan, enough to buy one more.
Originally, he planned to buy a maximum of four houses with 1.8 million yuan, but now he could buy five; when the demolition happened, he could receive several million more in compensation, the speed of making money was simply too fast.
Old Wang and the older sister signed the contracts readily, but Old Liu hesitated when signing, and Xiao Li asked in confusion:
"Uncle Liu, why aren't you signing?"
"That's not right, our community's houses are old and dilapidated, and without good school districts, they're worthless. Why are you buying so many at once? Could it be that you have connections and got some news in advance, knowing our community is going to be demolished?"
"I'm an outsider, what news could I have? I just want to invest in guesthouses."
Lin Yang didn't expect Old Liu to be so perceptive; because he bought several houses at once, Old Liu immediately thought of demolition.
If he spread the news, Lin Yang wouldn't be able to buy any more houses.
"Old Liu, you know as well as I do that Xing City's development is focused on the south, what does that have to do with our north side!"
"Exactly, I can guarantee that our community won't be demolished for the next thirty years."
Old Liu nodded when he heard this:
"That's right, the community just underwent exterior renovation last month; if it were going to be demolished, why go to all that trouble?"
He picked up the pen, signed his name on the contract, and pressed his fingerprint.
Only at this moment did Lin Yang's hanging heart finally settle. He had to thank Old Wang and the older sister; if it weren't for their persuasion, Old Liu probably wouldn't have signed so readily, and any unexpected complications would have been troublesome.
He couldn't help but cast grateful glances at the two of them.
Beside them, Xiao Li also breathed a sigh of relief; with the contracts signed, it meant her commission would soon be in hand.
Selling three second-hand houses at once was a rare occurrence, so she was acting very proactively.
"Brother Lin, after you make the payment, we'll go through the transfer procedures tomorrow morning, and then these three houses will truly belong to you!"
"Alright!"
Lin Yang asked for their three bank account numbers and directly transferred all the purchase money.
Old Wang, Old Liu, and the older sister, beaming with joy after receiving the money, left the real estate agency one by one.
"That broken house is finally sold!"
"House prices have been dropping in recent years; this house has been listed for four or five years, and the price has been sliding all the way down. I thought it would be stuck in my hands, but I never expected to meet such a big fool today."
"When we bought it, it was only a few hundred yuan per square meter, so no matter what price we sell it for, we won't lose money, just earn a little less."
"My nephew works at the planning bureau, and he said our area won't be developed for the next ten-plus years. Instead of letting it rot in our hands, it's better to sell it at a low price and have the money in hand, that's more reassuring."
"Exactly, money is the most tangible thing!"
