Chapter 223 Transfer of Ownership
Gu Qingyu sat by the window and saw from afar the entrance of the alley. Gu Lei was leading two middle-aged men towards her. She thought that they were the Wang brothers and sisters who owned the building!
The Wang siblings were delighted when they learned that someone wanted to buy their house. It was not until they followed Gu Lei to the teahouse that they discovered that the person who wanted to buy the house was a young girl.
The excitement of the two men suddenly cooled down, and they couldn't help but mutter in their hearts: These two people might be scammers, and they are trying to make fun of them.
"Xiao Gu, is this your boss?" Wang Xiaomei approached Gu Lei and asked in a low voice with some disbelief.
Hearing this, Gu Lei smiled and nodded, saying to the two of them, "Yes, this is our boss!"
The royal siblings' faces immediately fell when they heard this, and they all felt that the sale of the building was doomed!
Gu Lei noticed the change in their expressions and quickly said, "Since you two are already here, why don't you go in and talk to my boss?"
"Whether we'll buy it or not, we can only know after we talk about it, right?"
After hearing what Gu Lei said, the two of them thought it made sense. Since they were already here, they might as well go over and talk!
After everyone was seated in the teahouse, Gu Qingyu smiled and said to the Wang siblings, "Little Gu introduced your building to me before. I happened to have some free time today and came over to take a look. I think it looks pretty good overall!"
"That's why I asked him to invite you two here for a detailed discussion. Let's not beat around the bush. How much do you two plan to sell this building for?" Gu Qingyu looked at the two of them and asked straight to the point.
The Wang brother and sister, who originally thought there was no hope, couldn't help but feel happy when they heard Gu Qingyu ask this. It seemed that the girl across the street really intended to buy their building!
However, the Wang brother and sister were still undecided about how to make the offer!
So, Wang Xiaomei looked at Gu Qingyu with a guilty look and said awkwardly, "After all, this house is jointly owned by my brother and me. I need to discuss it with my brother before giving you an offer. Is that okay with you?"
Gu Qingyu smiled and nodded when he heard this, and said in understanding, "Of course!"
As they spoke, Gu Qingyu and Gu Lei stood up and sat down at a distance, giving the Wang siblings space to discuss things.
While the Wang brothers and sisters were discussing the quotation, Gu Lei also told Gu Qingyu the information he had heard in front of the tube building.
Gu Qingyu pondered for a moment after hearing this and said, "If that's the case, then these two people are really eager to sell it!"
Gu Lei nodded and said, "This should be good news for us. It will help us bargain with them later."
Gu Qingyu has just evaluated it in his mind. Judging from your current situation, the value of this building is about 50,000 to 60,000!
However, this price means there is no demand for the building. No one wants to buy it, which is the current dilemma of this building. I believe that the Wang brothers and sisters are well aware of this situation!
Gu Qingyu's target price was around 40,000 to 45,000 yuan, but if she wanted to buy the building in full, the money she had on hand would not be enough.
So before coming here, Gu Qingyu and Sun Lei borrowed some cash, intending to buy the building first. Then, they would use the building as collateral to obtain a bank loan for business operations!
Just as Gu Qingyu was thinking about acquiring the office building and how to run it in the future, the Wang brothers and sisters had already agreed on the price.
Seeing this, Gu Qingyu and the others sat back in their previous seats.
Gu Qingyu looked at the two people sitting in front of her and asked, "Sister Wang, how did your discussion go?"
Wang Xiaomei cleared her throat twice before speaking seriously to Gu Qingyu and the others, "Since you've been there, you should know that our building, whether in terms of size or location, is unmatched in this area!"
Gu Qingyu nodded in agreement and gestured for the other party to continue.
"In the early years, a government agency offered us 6 yuan, but we refused to sell it!"
"If you really want it, we've discussed it and can give you a discount. How about 55,000?"
Buying things always requires a lot of back and forth fighting, let alone buying a building!
As soon as Wang Xiaomei put forward the price, Gu Qingyu roughly guessed that the other party's bottom price was about 50,000.
The price of fifty thousand should be considered a normal market price, but for Gu Qingyu, this price still exceeded her psychological budget by a lot.
In order to lower the price, Gu Qingyu had to start finding faults and problems!
"Sister Wang, I wonder if you two have been to that building to observe recently?" Gu Qingyu asked the two people opposite.
The Wang siblings were stunned when they heard this. They didn’t understand why the other party asked this. Is there something wrong with the house?
Just when the Wang brothers and sisters suspected that something was wrong with the house and didn't know what to do, Gu Qingyu's next words seemed to confirm their previous guess!
"That building had been vacant for too long and hadn't been regularly repaired and maintained. Not only were the exterior walls cracked, but the wood inside was also rotting due to a leaky roof!"
"If all these problems are to be repaired, it will take a lot of time and money!"
Gu Qingyu's words made the Wang siblings feel depressed. Could it be that the building was really as dilapidated as the other party said?
Gu Qingyu saw the doubts in the Wang siblings' hearts and suggested at the right time, "The teahouse is just across the street from there. If you don't believe me, why don't we go over and take a look?"
Because of the bad relationship between the Wang brothers and sisters, neither of them had ever lived there. Since no one lived there, there was naturally less maintenance.
Regular repairs also cost a considerable amount of money, and neither of them was willing to pay for it. Over time, they just left the building there and no one took care of it.
So these two people really don’t know what the situation is like inside!
Several people crossed the road and stood in front of the yard of the small building!
The Wang siblings felt a sinking feeling in their hearts when they looked at the dilapidated iron gate that had been corroded by rain and the weeds that filled the yard.
When they walked through the weeds in the yard and came to the side of the small building, Gu Qingyu pointed at the cracks in the wall and said to them, "Pay attention to the sunken places on the ground. These cracks are caused by the sinking of the foundation. It will cost a lot of money to repair them!"
Then Gu Qingyu took the two of them to the second floor, pointed at the rotten beams, and continued to say to the Wang siblings, "Not only are the beams here rotten, the beams in the other rooms are more or less problematic!"
"These are just the big problems. There are countless other small problems!"
As Gu Qingyu introduced the house, the Wang siblings felt more and more depressed and uneasy, because they had no idea how much the house could be sold for!
When Gu Qingyu was speaking just now, he had been paying attention to the changes in the expressions of the brother and sister. Seeing their current appearance, he knew that their psychological defenses were about to collapse.
So, Gu Qingyu softened his tone and said to the two of them sincerely, "I also sincerely hope to acquire this building, which is why I came here specifically to discuss this with you two!"
"But considering the current situation of this building, the price you just offered is too high!"
When Wang Xiaomei heard Gu Qingyu say this, she thought she was going to give up on this place, and hurriedly tried to persuade her, "Oh, it's our fault for being careless. We didn't expect this building to be in such a state now!"
"Since you're really interested in buying it, we can sit down and discuss the price."
As soon as Wang Xiaomei said this, Gu Qingyu felt relieved, because she knew that the other party had been psychologically disadvantaged, and her deal today was considered a success!
So they returned to the teahouse where they had been before and sat down. After some bargaining, Gu Qingyu finally successfully acquired the ownership of the small building for 42,000 yuan!
"Sister Wang, Brother Wang, since the price is not a problem, let's meet at the door of the Housing Authority tomorrow morning. We will then pay the money and transfer the property. What do you think?" Gu Qingyu asked with a smile as she looked at the two people opposite her.
The Wang siblings didn't look too happy at this time. It was because Gu Qingyu had bargained too hard. The price was far from their expected price.
But there is no way around it, because the brother and sister have been busy quarreling for so many years and no one has ever cared about the house!
Fortunately, after the house is transferred tomorrow, the money will be available. Sharing it between the two families can help solve the current urgent needs of the family.
So when the two heard what Gu Qingyu said, they forced a smile and replied politely, "No problem, we'll meet at the Housing Authority tomorrow."
After making the agreement, the four of them parted ways in the teahouse!
Gu Qingyu solved a big problem and felt much more relaxed. She took Gu Lei straight to Sun Lei's trading company.
Yesterday, Gu Qingyu asked him to borrow money, and Sun Lei agreed immediately. This morning, he went to the bank to withdraw the money.
Moreover, he was afraid that Gu Qingyu didn't have enough money, so he took out an extra 10,000 yuan and left it for Gu Qingyu as a backup!
As soon as Qingyu came over, Sun Lei saw the smile on her face and knew that she was doing things smoothly.
So, he smiled and teased Gu Qingyu, "Who is this? Could it be Ms. Gu who is about to have a building?"
Gu Qingyu was in a good mood now, and she wasn't angry when she heard that. She just looked at Sun Lei unhappily and said, "I'm here to get the money. Have you prepared the money for me?"
Upon hearing this, Sun Lei bent down and took out a black plastic bag from under the cabinet and handed it to Gu Qingyu.
"Hey! I got your money back a long time ago, but you still don't trust me to do things!"
Gu Qingyu took the plastic bag handed to him, opened it, and found an extra ten thousand yuan in it.
So, she raised her eyebrows and looked at Sun Lei and said, "Why is there an extra ten thousand yuan?"
"I'm just worried that you don't have enough money and it'll delay things. What's wrong? Too much money is not good!"
Gu Qingyu looked at Sun Lei's slightly uncomfortable expression and knew that he meant well, so she accepted it without refusing.
Then Gu Qingyu put the plastic bag containing the money into her bag, took out paper and pen from her bag, and started writing on the table.
"Thanks, brother!" Gu Qingyu handed it to Sun Lei as if it was an IOU he had just written!
When Sun Lei saw the IOU that Gu Qingyu handed over, he said with a bad face, "Qingyu, this is meaningless!"
Gu Qingyu knew the other party had misunderstood when he heard this, and hurriedly explained, "You know my future career plan. We are family, so we don't care about some things, but people with ulterior motives don't think so!"
"If you accept the IOU, I can use your money with confidence, right?"
After hearing what Gu Qingyu said, Sun Lei had no choice but to accept the IOU that Gu Qingyu handed over.
After getting the money from Sun Lei, Gu Qingyu immediately contacted the construction team that had previously repaired Professor Ouyang's house and asked them to be ready tomorrow and be ready to start work at any time.
After contacting the engineering team, Gu Qingyu and Gu Lei went home exhausted!
The next morning, Gu Qingyu and his friends arrived at the Housing Management Office on time. After successfully completing the transfer of ownership with the Wang brothers and sisters, Gu Qingyu received the freshly issued house title.
As soon as she got the property title, Gu Qingyu asked Sun Lei to bring the construction team to work on site, while she herself went to the bakery where she had made an appointment with Chen Mingzhu, waiting for Miss Chen to come.
Chen Mingzhu sat down opposite Gu Qingyu and asked curiously, "Why did you, a busy man like you, think of asking me out?"
Gu Qingyu raised an eyebrow and looked at the other person, "What do you think?"
"You're a jerk who never comes to visit me for no reason. Tell me, what do you want me to do for you this time?"
Hearing this, Gu Qingyu smiled a bit flatteringly and pushed the black tea in her hand to Chen Mingzhu, "If I really need your help, just tell me whether you will help or not!"
"How should I know that? You haven't said anything yet."
"I'm planning to open a training school with a tutoring nature, and I'd like you to come and help me."
Chen Mingzhu looked at Gu Qingyu in surprise when she heard this, "You want to open a school?"
Seeing Gu Qingyu nod, Chen Mingzhu was speechless for a long time before she said, "But I'm not good at studying at all. I'm afraid you've asked the wrong person to help you run a school."
Hearing Chen Mingzhu say this, Gu Qingyu laughed, "I'm not asking you to go to class to study, what are you afraid of?"
"You will be doing administrative work at the school. I will have established the school's rules and regulations, and you will just follow them."
Then Gu Qingyu continued without waiting for Chen Mingzhu to speak, "If you come to help me, I will give you 10% of the shares, and the salary and bonus will be calculated separately!"
"Of course, there will be some problems during the school's operation, and I'll need to borrow your name, Miss Chen!"
"How about you come over and help me?" Gu Qingyu looked at Chen Mingzhu expectantly, waiting for her answer.
To be honest, Chen Mingzhu was tempted by Gu Qingyu's proposal, but she was also a little worried that she would not be able to do the job, so she became hesitant for a while!
