Rebirth: I Want to Collect Rent

When Gao Hui heard Hao Liang's question, she straightened up, turned around and said with a smile,

"The landlord is a little old lady from Shanghai. I heard that she has bought this building. I heard she said that she also has a daughter abroad and has found a foreigner as her husband. Every time the old lady comes to collect the rent

, they will all brag to us. What’s so good about foreign countries is why it’s so bad at home.”

"Oh, your accent should be from Northeast China. How come you came to work in Shanghai?"

When Gao Hui, who was still smiling, heard Hao Liang's question, she stopped packing her things for a moment, and her smiling face dimmed. Then she bent down and continued to pack her things.

"I came here with my ex-boyfriend, but we broke up yesterday. Thank you for staying with me last night."

After she finished speaking, she stopped talking, bent over and speeded up, and continued to pack her things.

After Gao Hui packed up her things, not long after, an energetic little old lady came over with someone.

"Xiao Gao, I've been living here for two years, and you have to move out now." After the little old lady came in, she looked at Hao Liang standing aside and asked.

"Yes, Aunt Wu. My place is far from where I work, so I plan to move there and live in a dormitory. Thank you for your care over the past two years."

"That's fine. I plan to sell this building. My daughter wants to take me to live in the United States. She said the air is good somewhere. It's not like the air in China. The smell is unpleasant."

"Your daughter is really powerful, Aunt Wu, look at this thing, see if there is anything missing, and this key." Gao Hui said flatteringly.

"No need to look, I'm going to sell anyway. This is the one who came to look at the house today. I plan to take care of all the properties here and go to my daughter's place." The old lady took out a deposit of 100 yuan and handed it to her.

Gao Hui said with a proud look on his face.

"Aunt Wu, how much do you plan to sell this building for?" Hao Liang couldn't help but asked.

When Hao Liang asked, the man who came next to him glanced at Hao Liang but said nothing.

The little old lady looked at Hao Liang again and then replied, "This building is worth four million. The person next to me liked it, so I sold it to him."

"Have you signed the contract?" Hao Liang asked again.

"Xiao Gao, who is this young man? Is he your friend?" the little old lady asked Gao Hui.

"He is my friend and also my client. As you know, now I am doing real estate sales. He bought a building from me." Gao Hui also introduced with understanding.

"Oh, I haven't signed the contract yet. Do you want to buy it?" the old lady replied.

"Then I'll pay 4.5 million, Aunt Wu, and you can sell it to me. Now go directly to sign the contract and transfer the ownership. The money will be transferred directly to your account, no need for a loan."

As soon as Hao Liang said this, the middle-aged man who came with the old lady couldn't help it and said to the little old lady angrily.

"Sister Wu, what you did is not very authentic. You agreed on four million, and now you deliberately asked me to come with you, and then found someone to raise the price, right?"

"I really didn't call this person here. He has offered 4.5 million, so I naturally have to consider it."

Although this little old lady from the Shanghai stock market said she wanted to consider it, her tone was that she wanted to sell it to Hao Liang. After all, there was an extra five hundred thousand.

"If you want to sell it for 4.5 million, I will definitely not sell it. You don't have to deliberately ask for help to drive up the price. This is an old house. For 4 million, you can sell it or not." The middle-aged man is also very tough.

said.

"Look, this young man has already paid 4.5 million, and we haven't signed the contract yet. How about you add more?" the little old lady said greedily.

"This is what you asked for. I won't buy it. I'll sell it to whomever you like." After saying that, he walked away angrily.

After the middle-aged man left, the little old lady said to Hao Liang, "Young man, do you really want to pay 4.5 million? Then I will buy it for you."

"Yes, we can go through the ownership now. Miss Gao Hui is here for the contract and so on. By the way, you just said that you have other properties to deal with. I don't know what they are." Hao Liang replied.

.

"I don't have many things left, just the two old houses I shared when I was in the work unit. I plan to keep the new house I bought myself. I can live in it when I want to return to China. If you want it, it's five million in total."

It’s all for you.”

"Okay, then you take me to see the old house and transfer the ownership to me together." Hao Liang replied.

After finishing speaking, he said to Gao Hui, "Gao Hui, put your things here for a while and come with us to take a look. You can come back to pick them up after the transfer is completed."

Gao Hui nodded and followed Hao Liang and the old lady.

The old lady's two old houses were not far from his building. They were in the community behind the building, not a few steps away. The three of them walked there in 20 minutes.

Along the way, Hao Liang also learned from the old lady's words that the old lady and her dead husband used to work in the supply and marketing cooperative, and he was also a small cadre.

Later, her husband went to sea to build a cannery. With some money, he bought the abandoned office building just now through connections. He planned to expand the cannery.

But his husband seemed to have a bad life. Not long after he bought the building, he died in a car accident. It is not known who killed him.

The old lady had no intention of running a business, so she sold the cannery and relied on the rent collected from this building and the money from her work unit to support her only daughter's education and study abroad. It was quite feasible.

The middle-aged man just now is a relative of a leader of the supply and marketing cooperative. He heard that the old lady was going abroad to live with her daughter, so he bought this house after being introduced to her.

The house assigned to me by the old lady's work unit was an old-fashioned apartment with a briquette stove in the corridor.

The plaster on the wall has fallen off. The wooden handrails are also somewhat damaged. The paint on them is gone, and the iron railings below are even more rusty.

Looking at the situation, this house must be quite old. It will be demolished sooner or later. It is worth more than the building in Pudong.

Hao Liang followed the old lady to the house assigned by her work unit and checked it out. There was nothing wrong with it, so he went to the housing management office to go through the transfer procedures. The money was directly transferred to the old lady's card.

On the way Hao Liang and Gao Hui went back to the house she rented, Gao Hui couldn't help but ask.

"Hao Liang, I know you are buying a new house as an investment, but what's the point of buying this old house for you? You won't be able to sell it in the future. It's so dilapidated."

"If you can't sell it, just keep it in your hands. Do you think it is very likely that these old houses will be demolished at the current rate of economic development?"

"But now that Pudong is being vigorously developed, it's hard to say here. It may take several years. If you have the money, you might as well buy a few more units in Pudong." Gao Hui touched her hair and said.

"Leave it alone, please rent out the house I bought here. You can rent it as much as you can. Don't worry about the rent. It doesn't matter if you don't rent it out."

The two of them talked and returned to the house Gao Hui rented, took Gao Hui's luggage and quilt, and Hao Liang took Gao Hui directly to the hotel instead of the house he bought.

When Gao Hui arrived at Hao Liang's room again, she seemed a little unnatural, not as indifferent as last night. She didn't know why her face turned red all of a sudden.

"Hao Liang, why don't I go live in the house you bought?" Gao Hui said, carrying her duffel bag.

"We can't live there today. Your supervisor said that I can't move the furniture in until tomorrow. How about you go tomorrow? I'll go back tomorrow and come back next week."

"Well, thank you. I will move out as soon as possible after I buy the house."

"It's okay. Just take this money and use it as the agency fee." Hao Liang said, taking out two thousand yuan and handing it to Gao Hui.

"I, I still have money, I don't want this money anymore." Gao Hui quickly declined.

"This is your labor fee. You need to worry more about my real estate certificate and so on. When it is done, you can give me a call."

"Thank you, I will pay you back the money next time." Gao Hui said after taking the money.

"Well, the money is still yours. Let's go. It's already so late. Let's go down for dinner. You can accompany me for a walk around the area."

As soon as the two of them left the room, they saw the girl who was in the same car coming back. This time there was another girl who was also pretty.

After seeing Hao Liang and Gao Hui coming out again, she pulled her friend aside in disgust. After Hao Liang and Gao Hui left, her friend looked at Hao Liang and Gao Hui leaving and asked.

"Do you know these two people?"
