Chapter 572: Chapter 572 Prince’s Mansion_1

Aunt Ruan’s words gave Zhang Xiaoxi quite a startle.

The Prince’s Mansion?

Can that thing be sold to an individual?

Just the garden alone covers an area of 27,000 square meters. How vast must the entire mansion be...

And as for the location, well, that goes without saying. It’s the Prince’s Mansion after all, the location couldn’t possibly be inferior!

However, such a big mansion, she should have noticed it these past few days, unless...

A thought struck her and she hurriedly asked, "Aunt Ruan, you don’t mean Duke Chun Mansion, do you?"

Zhang Xiaoxi knew about the Duke Chun Mansion. It was also located in Houhai, so its location was naturally excellent.

The Quadrangle she had her eye on didn’t compare to this Manson, whether in terms of location, environment, or architecture.

However, wasn’t Duke Chun Mansion requisitioned by the government? It seemed to be used as office space for some department, with part of it designated as a museum or something.

"Ah, you know about Duke Chun Mansion too. Yes, I’m talking about the garden of Duke Chun Mansion.

This garden, it’s not too built-up, just three small buildings, but it is truly beautiful inside.

There are hills, lakes, and forests; it’s practically a park.

This place used to be inhabited by Mr. Song. After Mr. Song passed away, it was left unused.

No one had intended to sell it initially, but a couple of days ago, the supervisory department contacted our department out of the blue with plans to sell this garden..."

Aunt Ruan explained the whole story over the phone.

Only then did Zhang Xiaoxi get the full picture. Whether it was due to her good luck or not, she had stumbled upon such a rare opportunity.

A chance to get a mansion garden like this was once in a blue moon.

Moreover, since the original buildings are scarce, the supervisory department allows the construction of new buildings. One can redesign the entire garden according to one’s own ideas. This is far more desirable than buying one of those old Quadrangles!

Zhang Xiaoxi was overjoyed, like someone delivered a pillow just as she was dozing off.

Aunt Ruan was also puzzled. Working in the Housing Management Department, she naturally knew the significance of the garden at the Duke Chun Mansion. Even though it had been idle for several years, no one had ever suggested selling it.

The country isn’t short of money. Wouldn’t it be more meaningful to transform it into a museum or memorial in the future?

Why suddenly put it up for sale? And they came directly to her, asking her to help find a potential buyer.

It’s like they knew she knew a potential buyer...

...

Anyway, no matter how you look at it, this is a good thing.

Zhang Xiaoxi was overjoyed. Although she hasn’t contacted Wang Ye yet, she believed that he would be satisfied with this mansion garden, no matter how picky he might be.

Because, in the capital, you can’t find a property with a better location or larger area!

Aunt Ruan was also pleased. The task that her superiors had just handed to her, was swiftly completed. Wouldn’t this boost her performance in the eyes of her superiors!

So, she put her heart into this matter.

Over the phone, she made an appointment with Zhang Xiaoxi to meet there that very day. She would personally accompany Zhang Xiaoxi to take a look around. As for the purchase procedure that followed, she could lend a hand.

At the entrance of Duke Chun Mansion in Houhai, Aunt Ruan met with Zhang Xiaoxi.

Zhang Xiaoxi arrived in her newly acquired Mercedes-Benz G-Class. As she had not driven for some time and the car was expensive, she drove very cautiously.

Aunt Ruan, having seen the world, naturally recognized the car.

Especially the black license plate...

However, Aunt Ruan didn’t show any changes in her expression. She greeted Zhang Xiaoxi enthusiastically.

She led Zhang Xiaoxi into the courtyard. It took quite some time just to circle the near 30,000 square meter area.

This garden, despite being idle for many years, was maintained well. Dedicated staff had been looking after it.

So, it boasted a variety of vibrant flowers and plants with trees providing ample shade, and the lake water was crystal clear...

"Over here, about 7,000 square meters can be used for construction. The other 20,000 square meters can’t be altered. Additionally, if you really plan to construct buildings, there are requirements for the architectural style and height, which must be approved through an application before construction can begin..."

Aunt Ruan gave a detailed introduction as they walked around the property.

Clearly, she had done her homework, so as to smoothly fulfill the task given by her superiors.

Zhang Xiaoxi listened and nodded. She already had an understanding of these matters.

The only issue now was the final price!

...

"For such a large area, only two hundred million CNY, not too pricey." Aunt Ruan laughed.

Of course, she herself felt slightly uneasy about her own statement.

Two hundred million...

At this time, who would have so much money to waste on this "shabby" garden!

No matter how rich, one doesn’t just throw money around like this, right!

Of course, these were Aunt Ruan’s personal thoughts...

Zhang Xiaoxi was also taken aback when she heard the price. It did seem a bit high.

However, considering the size of the garden, 27,000 square meters, it worked out to less than eight thousand CNY per square meter.

When you think about it that way, it doesn’t seem too expensive...

...

When Wang Ye received Zhang Xiaoxi’s call and heard the news, he was somewhat surprised.

He had only intended to find a decent Quadrangle in the capital, renovate it carefully, and then have a place to stay for future visits to his home country.

He would have never imagined that he would end up with the Prince’s Mansion...

Besides, according to Zhang Xiaoxi’s introduction, Mr. Song had lived there. Logically, it shouldn’t have been up for sale.

How could he be so lucky...

Something seemed fishy about the entire situation!

But Wang Ye was a man of wisdom. After a little thought, he had a rough idea about what was going on.

He laughed and said to Zhang Xiaoxi, "Then let’s buy it. At two hundred million, it’s quite the bargain. The main thing is that such a place, even if you had more money in the future, wouldn’t be available for purchase. After purchasing, find the best designer according to the original style of the garden to design and build. Money is not an issue."

This garden couldn’t be regarded as a Quadrangle courtyard anymore; calling it a mansion would be more fitting...

Buying it was just the beginning, and the subsequent design, construction, and interior decoration would require a lot of money!

However, having purchased a royal mansion, Wang Ye naturally wouldn’t skimp on the money. He wanted it to be perfect as much as possible...

Hearing that Wang Ye was so keen to buy this mansion garden, Zhang Xiaoxi couldn’t help but swallow.

It seemed her old classmate was really rich...

"Alright, I’ll follow up with this as soon as possible. But if we’re talking about redesigning and refurbishing, it could take quite some time, maybe one or two years," Zhang Xiaoxi assured quickly.

Wang Ye was not in a hurry. He had no plans to settle down in his home country anytime soon.

Once business here is stable, he’ll have the leisure to come back to his home country more often...
