81: He really has 5 billion!
Then I'll have to trouble you to confirm the specific quantity at that time and tally it for me; this is one of the necessary procedures for buying a house.
Xiao Wen said politely.
She needed to determine how much extra Shen Xi would have to pay each month.
And the residents also had to be reported, so that Shen Xi and his family would be considered Inner City residents.
Shen Xi nodded, indicating he understood.
Afterward, Xiao Wen continued, "Second, buying a house does not grant permanent usage; it only grants fifty years of residency rights.
Once the fifty years are up, we will reclaim the house.
You either renew the fee or purchase a new house."
At this moment, Shen Xi finally understood why there were so many dejected people at the edge of the city wall.
After entering the Inner City, it could be said that money was needed everywhere.
It wasn't that buying a house meant one could rest easy.
First, there was the per-person fee, which meant that even if one married, had children, and had descendants in the future, there would be an additional expense.
Moreover, the building Shen Xi bought was only on the edge of the Inner City, and each person had to pay fifty thousand diamond coins a month.
What if it was in the central area?
It could be millions a month.
Second, the house had a usage limit; once the time was up, a huge sum had to be spent again to continue living there.
Once the house was reclaimed, one could only be swept out of the Inner City.
"Is there anything else?"
Shen Xi asked.
Xiao Wen nodded, "Third, full payment is required."
Shen Xi could understand this point.
This world was not as peaceful as his previous life; there were simply too many dangers.
Because of this, installment payments were not supported.
What if someone just finished an installment today and died in an adventure tomorrow?
Who would bear the burden of that messy account?
Therefore, houses could only be bought with full payment.
"I understand," Shen Xi paused, as if he had thought of something, and said playfully, "I haven't even decided to buy a house, and you've told me so much.
Aren't you afraid I'll turn around and leave?"
Xiao Wen answered earnestly, "A visitor is a guest.
Whether you buy or not is your freedom, but whether I've clearly explained all the precautions is a matter of my professional attitude."
Shen Xi was very satisfied with Xiao Wen's attitude; this was how a business should operate.
Thinking of this, he didn't dally, and with a wave of his hand, he said, "I understand the situation.
Just find me a house where the total cost doesn't exceed five billion diamond coins.
As for the number of people, let's temporarily calculate it for ten people!"
Shen Xi and Fatty had grown up together since childhood, so he naturally knew how many people were in their family.
Besides his parents, Fatty also had a younger brother and a younger sister, plus his own family, making eight people.
As for the two extra spots, it was only a hundred thousand diamond coins a month anyway, and Shen Xi could afford it.
What if they needed them later?
As for whether the house would be too crowded, Shen Xi was not worried.
He wasn't buying a house in the center of the Inner City; five billion diamond coins would be enough to buy a villa.
"You, you're really planning to buy?"
Xiao Wen looked at Shen Xi in disbelief.
She explained so much purely out of professional courtesy.
In fact, she didn't think Shen Xi could afford a house.
But she never expected him to be so decisive, making a decision on the spot?
One should know that most people, even if they really wanted to buy a house, would hesitate repeatedly, even comparing prices and visiting a large number of properties before finally gritting their teeth and buying one.
No one had ever treated five billion diamond coins like fifty diamond coins as Shen Xi did.
This was five billion diamond coins!
"Of course, I trust you..."
Before Shen Xi could finish speaking, the sales associate who had pushed Shen Xi to Xiao Wen began to speak sarcastically again.
"Xiao Wen, no wonder your performance is always at the bottom.
I tell you you're stupid, and you're still not smart!"
"This guy is clearly messing with you; didn't you see everyone else keeping quiet?"
"Only you are rushing to treat him like a god of wealth; you're simply utterly stupid."
As her words fell, the other sales associates burst into mocking laughter.
Faced with the doubts, Shen Xi was too lazy to argue and casually took out a money pouch from his storage bag.
The money pouch opened, and diamond coins, one by one, emitted a dazzling light.
Beside him, Father Shen and Mother Shen, even though they had witnessed this scene once before, couldn't help but gasp.
Billions of diamond coins!
They would never earn that much money in their lifetime.
And as the diamond coins fell to the ground, making a crisp sound, the laughter of the sales associates came to an abrupt halt.
Everyone looked at Shen Xi in disbelief.
This guy, he was really that rich?
How could this be!
"Xiao Wen, you can't handle such a big client.
Let big sister do it; you'll get your share of the benefits then."
The sales associate who had been speaking sarcastically immediately walked to Xiao Wen's side, making a move to push her away.
A transaction of five billion diamond coins, at a commission rate of three per thousand, would be fifteen million diamond coins!
This was more than her earnings from selling dozens of houses.
Naturally, she didn't want to miss out on such a good thing.
She quickly changed her expression, as if flipping a book, and showed a fawning smile to Shen Xi, flattering him, "Respected guest, I am the gold-medal sales associate of this sales office.
I can definitely provide you with the highest quality service.
May I take you to choose a house you like?"
Saying this, she winked and deliberately pushed out her already ample assets.
The meaning was self-evident.
As long as Shen Xi was willing, he could do anything.
Beside her, Xiao Wen didn't expect the other party to suddenly try to steal her client; she was a bit stunned for a moment, opening her mouth but unable to speak.
"No need, I already have a sales associate, and I am very satisfied with her.
As for you, go stay somewhere cool.
Besides, I'm not interested in something that's been played with."
Afterward, Shen Xi looked at Xiao Wen with a frustrated expression, "She's trying to snatch your client right in front of you, and you have no reaction at all.
Are you stupid? Hurry up and prepare the contract."
"Oh, oh, oh!" Xiao Wen finally reacted, belatedly.
She looked at Shen Xi gratefully and quickly went to prepare the contract.
"You!"
The female sales associate was somewhat mortified.
But Shen Xi's glare immediately silenced her.
A big shot who could casually take out five billion diamond coins to buy a house was not someone she could afford to provoke.
Soon, the contract was signed, and Shen Xi finally had his own house in the Inner City.
As for the female sales associate, he didn't even spare her a glance.
As they left, Xiao Wen cautiously said, "Um... my home is also in that building.
If possible, could I treat you to a meal?"
Hearing this, Shen Xi's eyes held a strange look.
