Chapter 946: Chapter 873: Making Up for Regrets_2

The heat in Peng City at the end of August was indeed outrageous; Wang Ye was already breaking out in a sweat just from walking a few steps after getting out of the car.

The female sales agent, realizing he was indeed there to look at houses—although still uncertain whether he would buy—felt hope rising and her smile became even brighter.

In those days, houses weren’t easy to sell, let alone ones in a property with such an off-the-beaten-track location, which had been on the market for a while without attracting much interest.

If they couldn’t sell the houses soon, the entire sales team would be laid off!

She eagerly opened the glass door to the sales office, inviting Wang Ye inside.

After Wang Ye found a sofa to sit on, the saleswoman was busy fetching him cold drinks and the like.

Once she finished bustling about, the saleswoman brought several beautifully printed house layout plans and property brochures, starting to introduce them in detail to Wang Ye.

"Good afternoon, Sir. My name is Hu Yueyue, and I’m the sales consultant here. Let me give you a detailed introduction to our property.

Our property’s developer is a major state-owned enterprise, Vanke. You might have heard of it.

The developer has strong financial strength, ensuring the quality of the construction in the community, so you don’t need to worry.

This community is called the Jinyu community and is positioned at the higher end. The plot ratio of the community is only 2.2, the greenery coverage reaches a high of 50%, and the parking space ratio is 1.6:1..."

In fact, Wang Ye was probably even more familiar with the community than the saleswoman.

After all, in his previous life, he had lived there for seven or eight years...

The reason he came today was just to make up for a regret from his previous life.

In his last life, he had rented a place in this community for seven or eight years, was very familiar with it and its surroundings, and had always wanted to buy a small house here to bring his family over to Peng City.

Unfortunately, when he was reborn, that wish had still not been fulfilled!

Now that he had the chance, even though he really didn’t plan to live here himself and wasn’t particularly interested in making a small profit from flipping the property, Wang Ye still intended to buy a house, if only to fulfill a dream from his past life...

...

Interrupting Hu Yueyue with a smile, Wang Ye asked, "The community has a total of eight buildings, right?"

Hu Yueyue quickly nodded her head.

The Jinyu community was neither too big nor too small, with just eight residential buildings.

But even so, this was considered sizeable in Peng City.

After all, land in Peng City was very scarce. It was rare to see large property developments, and a community with eight buildings was already considered to be of substantial size.

As for those huge property developments with dozens of buildings as seen in other cities, one would hardly come across them in Peng City.

"So, has building number 7 started selling yet? How many units have been sold in that building?" Wang Ye continued to inquire.

Hu Yueyue was taken aback; she had never encountered such a question before. This customer was rather odd...

But no matter what the customer asked, she had to answer.

"Building number 7 hasn’t started selling yet. We’re mainly promoting buildings 1 through 4 at the moment. The unit types in these four buildings are also very complete, and they’re close to the street. There will be a subway station within a hundred meters next to the main entrance of the community in the future, which is very convenient..."

This was the common sales tactic of property developers.

They’d start with one or two buildings, or even just a few unit types, creating an atmosphere of high demand for the potential buyers.

And the better units and layouts, they’re reluctant to sell at the beginning, preferring to hold them back and sell them later on.

Wang Ye waved his hand dismissively and said with an unquestionable tone, "Since building number 7 hasn’t started selling yet, then I’ll buy this building."

Hu Yueyue’s expression soured, and her smile became forced.

She thought, could this be someone causing trouble on purpose?

Since building number 7 hadn’t started selling yet, she, a mere sales agent, naturally did not have the authority to agree to sell a unit to the customer.

Even if the customer was sincere about buying, it would be difficult to proceed!

She tried hard to persuade him, "Sir, which unit layout did you like? The layouts in building number 7 are exactly the same as those in building number 3..."

"I mean I want to buy the entire building," said Wang Ye nonchalantly.

"Ah..." Hu Yueyue was stunned on the spot.

Buying the entire building...

She had absolutely no concept of this!

Hu Yueyue had recently come to Peng City to work after graduating from a junior college, and becoming a sales advisor here was her first job.

Not just anyone could become a sales advisor at such a large real estate enterprise; it was because Hu Yueyue was quite presentable, beautiful, and had a junior college degree that she was hired.

After a period of training, she had started working as a sales advisor.

To be honest, she hadn’t actually sold a single apartment yet, and now this customer was talking about buying an entire building...

Could this be the so-called "property flipping group" from the legends?

......

Speaking of the infamous Wen Zhou property flipping group, many people should be familiar with it.

The term first appeared in 2001.

However, back then, the Wen Zhou property flipping group was active in Shanghai, Suzhou and Hangzhou, not yet in Guangdong Province.

So even though Hu Yueyue had heard her colleagues mention the property flipping group with envy, she never imagined that such a legend would one day appear before her.

She took another careful look at the man in front of her.

He looked quite young, dressed rather casually in a white T-shirt and off-white slacks, with canvas shoes on his feet.

He didn’t seem much different from many of Peng City’s young office workers, except for being quite handsome...

However, whether one was handsome or not was not important, because buying property relied on financial strength, on whether you had a thick wallet, not on your face.

She cautiously asked, "Sir, do you know how many apartments there are in one building and how much money it would require?"

Only a newbie like Hu Yueyue would dare not offend a customer—had it been an experienced sales advisor, they probably would have already turned away such an unrealistic person.

What a joke!

Even the infamous Wen Zhou property flipping group would go as a group to purchase properties, and they would deal directly with the developer’s senior management to get the lowest prices.

It was impossible for them to send a young man in his early twenties directly to a sales office to negotiate with a sales advisor.

It just didn’t seem credible!

Such a person was clearly here to cause trouble!

Wang Ye smiled slightly and said calmly, "Building 7 is designed with two elevators serving six apartments per floor, with twenty-one floors in total, which makes it one hundred twenty-six units. The apartment sizes vary, but let’s just calculate each at 100 square meters; based on your public selling price, that’s about 450,000 per apartment. So the entire building would come to just over fifty million, wouldn’t you say? Am I correct?"

Having lived in the community for many years, he was of course more than familiar with the apartment layouts, so discussing these numbers came quite effortlessly to him.

Hu Yueyue was unsure now. On one hand, if she judged this young man to be a troublemaker, his demeanor and tone of speech didn’t fit that at all.

And the things he mentioned all made sense, they were very credible.

But to think that he could and would buy an entire building, Hu Yueyue wouldn’t believe it even if she were beaten to death...

Fifty million!

The amount was so astronomical; could this young man really come up with it?

When Wang Ye arrived earlier, he was driving a very ordinary car, a Toyota Camry, which was not a luxury car at all, and not something a wealthy person who could take out fifty million to buy property would drive...

While she was hesitating, Wang Ye had no time to waste.

He said, "I know you’re not the one to make this decision, so have your sales director or vice president, or whoever is in charge, come talk to me. You can tell them I’m serious, and I want to close the deal today!"

Perhaps it was Wang Ye’s confidence and commanding presence that intimidated Hu Yueyue; she said meekly, "Alright... I’ll go get the sales vice president right now, he’s in the office."

Saying this, she got up and hurriedly walked inside.

......

Wang Ye sat there, leisurely sipping a cold drink.

Before long, footsteps approached from behind, and Hu Yueyue returned quickly with a middle-aged man wearing a white shirt and black dress pants.

"Hello, I am the sales vice president here. May I ask how to address this gentleman?" The middle-aged man extended his hands from a distance, smiling as he spoke.
