48: Buying a house is like buying groceries

At this moment, The young girl, Li Xin, had already arrived in front of Qin Yang and his companion. She smiled and said, "Thank you, Mr. Qin. I am Li Xin. I was the one who assisted you on the phone last night."

Qin Yang looked at The young girl, who still had a hint of childishness about her, and nodded. He replied, "Yes, we already discussed this on the phone. If your agency has any good properties available right now, feel free to take us to see them."

"Very well, Mr. Qin. Based on your requirements, I have already prepared a few properties. We can go see them right now."

"Then let's go!" Qin Yang replied.

Li Xin's mode of transport was a small electric scooter, so Qin Yang had her get into his own car instead.

Once in the car, Li Xin seemed a bit reserved. Qin Yang reassured her, "No need to be nervous. Where are you planning to take us to look at houses today?"

"Mr. Qin, based on your requirements, I spent all night filtering through properties and selected three that fit your criteria: one in the Shenghe Tianxia villa district, one top-tier luxury flat at Huilon No. 1 Mansion, and the last one in the Xi'an Yishu villa district."

Qin Yang nodded upon hearing this. He had heard of these luxury residential areas, but he had never had the chance to see them. After all, with prices easily reaching the tens of millions, they were not something the former Qin Yang could ever dream of. But now, heh, he could naturally buy whatever he wanted. Being rich was just that willful!

Qin Yang's reaction was calm, as he had specifically requested luxury homes last night, and The young girl had prepared correctly. However, Deng Yue, sitting beside him, was stunned. She knew Qin Yang was not who he used to be and had earned money, but she still lacked a concrete concept of it. In her imagination, it should be around the tens of millions, given that Qin Yang had bought a car worth several million. However, as a local of H City, Li Xin naturally knew that none of the properties in these luxury districts she mentioned were priced below the ten-million mark.

Immediately, Deng Yue tugged on Qin Yang's arm and said, "Honey, you need to keep some liquid capital for your business; you can't invest all your money into houses. Let's just buy a smaller unit; I think a smaller unit would be more cozy."

"Don't worry. Since I dared to bring you here today, I am well-prepared. You don't need to worry about money. Your only task today is to choose a house that you like," Qin Yang replied with a smile.

"Ah! But these places are really too expensive!" Deng Yue muttered, seeing that Qin Yang was not joking.

Before long, the car drove into the Shenghe Tianxia villa district. The security guard at the entrance saw that the vehicles were a maybach and a Lexus 570, so he saluted and let them through.

After entering the complex, Qin Yang rolled down the window to admire the scenery. The landscaping was well done, and it was very clean and tidy. The residents walking by were dressed in glamorous clothes, and the vehicles they drove were all luxury cars.

In a little while, Qin Yang and his group arrived in front of the villa they were to view today.

"Mr. Qin, this is the detached villa. It has three floors above ground and two underground basements. The entire courtyard covers 1,300 square meters, features an independent outdoor swimming pool, and the villa has a usable area of 1,600 square meters..." After they got out of the car, Li Xin entered work mode and began to enthusiastically introduce the property to the two of them.

The group first walked around the courtyard; it was indeed huge. In addition to the outdoor pool, there were two small gardens.

After touring the courtyard, they slowly stepped inside. As soon as they entered, they were stunned by the sight before them. The first thing that caught their eyes was an extremely expansive living room; its spaciousness was breathtaking.

On the west side of the living room stood an exquisite piano. Though they didn't know the brand, judging by its appearance and craftsmanship, it was undoubtedly a high-quality instrument. The presence of the piano added a touch of elegance and an artistic atmosphere to the entire living room.

In the center of the living room was a spacious staircase. The design was simple yet grand, giving a sense of solemnity. Looking up along the staircase, one could see that the space on the second floor was equally spacious and bright.

On the east side of the living room was a comfortable parlor, furnished with a set of soft sofas for people to rest and socialize. The layout of the parlor was simple yet cozy, making people feel relaxed and at ease.

Walking further inside, there was a dedicated cigar room, displaying various high-end cigars and smoking accessories, providing a private and comfortable space for those who enjoy savoring cigars.

Continuing forward, there was an ultra-luxurious dining room and kitchen. The dining room's decor was elegant, with the dining table and chairs complementing each other perfectly, creating a noble dining atmosphere. The kitchen featured a dual Chinese and Western design, meeting the needs of both Chinese-style cooking and Western-style meal preparation, allowing one to handle both cuisines with ease.

The layout of the second floor was very reasonable, featuring five bedrooms, two living rooms, one kitchen, and three bathrooms. Among them was a dedicated tea room for the host and guests to sip tea and chat; there was also a wine cellar, filled with various fine wines, making one feel as if they were in a small cellar; in addition, there was an exquisite bar, adding a touch of romance and sentiment to life.

Besides these special rooms, the second floor also had two spacious and comfortable guest bedrooms, providing a cozy accommodation environment for visiting guests. In the innermost part was a relatively independent small living room, small dining room, and small kitchen. Although their area was relatively small, they were fully functional and could completely satisfy daily living needs. Of course, the "small" mentioned here was only in comparison to the space on the first floor.

The layout of the third floor revolved mainly around the bedrooms; it was practically a comfortable private resting area. The entire third floor was cleverly divided into four suites and a spacious, oversized terrace.

Among them, the boy's room and the girl's room provided independent living spaces for young people, satisfying the needs of different genders. The elder's room was specially designed for the elders in the family, with the layout and facilities in the room taking into account the elders' living habits and comfort.

The master suite was the most luxurious suite on the entire third floor, not only featuring an independent bathroom and walk-in closet but also equipped with a study, dressing room, and a series of other high-end facilities, allowing the owner to indulge in a private and luxurious life here.

In addition, that oversized terrace added a unique touch of scenery to the entire third floor. Tables and chairs could be placed on the terrace for people to relax and entertain, admire the surrounding scenery, and feel the breath of nature.

Finally, Li Xin led Qin Yang and his companion into the two underground floors. The space design of these two floors was very clever, giving a feeling of a hidden world.

The first thing that caught their eyes was the first underground floor, which had been carefully crafted into a multi-functional entertainment room. As soon as they entered, they could see a spacious home theater, furnished with comfortable sofas and an oversized screen, making one feel as if they were in a movie theater. Next to it was a billiards room, where the green felt on the pool table was as smooth as silk, and the cues were neatly arranged on the side, waiting for people to have an intense duel at any time.

Moving further forward, there was an e-sports room, equipped with several high-end computers and top-tier gaming equipment, providing an excellent experience whether playing large-scale games or participating in e-sports competitions. In addition, there was a fully equipped gym, with all kinds of fitness equipment available to meet the needs of daily exercise.

Next, they arrived at the second underground floor. This was a spacious garage that could accommodate six cars at the same time. The garage floor was paved with clean marble, and the walls were decorated with beautiful murals, adding an artistic touch to the entire space. The garage was also equipped with an advanced vehicle management system, making it convenient for the owner to manage and maintain their vehicles.

Throughout the entire viewing process, Li Xin was the one doing the introducing, while Qin Yang and Deng Yue listened. However, looking at Deng Yue's expression, it was clear that everything she saw today had shocked her quite a bit.

After the tour, Qin Yang looked at Deng Yue and asked, "What do you think?"

Deng Yue replied with some hesitation, "It's good, it's really good. This is the first time I've seen such a luxurious house; it's practically my dream home. However, this house must be very expensive, right!"

Seeing that Deng Yue was still worrying about the money, Qin Yang smiled and then said to Li Xin, "How much is this villa listed for at your agency?"

"Mr. Qin, it's 20 million! When the original owner bought this villa, it cost over 16 million, and the renovation cost another 10 million-plus, taking three years to complete. Because the original owner was busy, the villa was never lived in after it was renovated. Now that the housing market is sluggish and the original owner is having some capital issues, they are in a rush to sell, so it's only listed for 20 million," Li Xin quickly replied.

Qin Yang nodded and then said, "Let's go. We'll look at the other two properties before deciding."

"Alright, no problem."

Then the group left Shenghe Tianxia and went on to view a large flat at Huilon No. 1 Mansion and a villa in the Xi'an Yishu villa district.

That large flat caught the eyes of Qin Yang and his companion with its unique design and luxurious configuration. It adopted a one-elevator-per-household access method, providing the residents with ultimate privacy and a convenient living experience.

The usable area of this large flat reached a staggering 660 square meters, presenting an overall spacious layout of six bedrooms, two living rooms, one kitchen, and six bathrooms. Each room was carefully designed with a reasonable layout and complete functionality, fully satisfying both the living needs of family members and the space for entertaining guests.

The north-south transparent design of the house made the indoor lighting excellent; sunlight could spill into every corner, creating a bright and comfortable living environment. At the same time, the north-south layout was conducive to air circulation, keeping the indoor atmosphere fresh and pleasant at all times.

Entering the interior, the ultra-luxurious renovation was eye-catching. Every detail highlighted quality and prestige, from the floor to the ceiling, from the furniture to the decorations—everything was top-tier material and craftsmanship, carefully selected.

According to Li Xin, the two faucets in the master bedroom were incredibly valuable, costing as much as 400,000, which was undoubtedly the ultimate pursuit of a luxurious life.

Beyond the excellent quality of the house itself, its location was impeccable. This property was located in the city center, with perfect supporting facilities around it. Whether for shopping, dining, or entertainment, everything could be easily found within walking distance. Such a prime location not only brought great convenience to the residents but also gave this house extremely high investment value.

For such a large flat that combined so many advantages, its listing price was naturally not low, reaching as high as 16 million!

The villa in Xi'an Yishu was the first option Qin Yang ruled out, mainly because the location wasn't good—it was too suburban—and the overall renovation style was dark-toned, while Qin Yang preferred a warm-toned style.

Spending most of the day, the group viewed all three properties.

On the way back to the Ming'an Agency in the car, Qin Yang asked, "Which one do you have your eye on?"

"They are all very good, and I like them all. But if I had to choose, that large flat is better; villas are too hard to take care of," Deng Yue replied after thinking for a moment.

"That large flat suits my fancy too, but the villa in Shenghe Tianxia is also nice. So, let's just buy both!" Qin Yang said.

"Ah? Buy two? One should be enough, right!" Deng Yue asked in surprise, her mouth forming an 'O' shape upon hearing this.

"Haha, if you like them, just buy them. Those wealthy people, none of them have just one property. Besides, houses are fixed assets; it counts as a type of investment," Qin Yang laughed loudly, seeing Deng Yue's cute expression.

"Well... alright, I'll listen to you." After a few seconds of hesitation, Deng Yue replied.

Then Qin Yang said to Li Xin, "Ms. Li, I've taken a liking to the villa in Shenghe Tianxia and the large flat at Huilon No. 1 Mansion. How about this: talk to the sellers and see how much more of a discount you can get me. If it's acceptable, I'll buy both of these properties."

"Ah?! Really, Mr. Qin!" Li Xin thought she was hallucinating upon hearing this. These were all luxury homes worth over ten million. Even for wealthy people, buying one required careful consideration; who would just open their mouth and ask for two like they were buying groceries?

"That's right, contact them now!" Qin Yang gave a definite reply.

Having received confirmation, Li Xin felt as if she were in a dream. She was stunned for a few seconds before she came to her senses and said quickly, "Alright, Mr. Qin, I will contact them right away. I guarantee I will secure the best possible discount for you!"

Immediately after, Li Xin didn't care about anything else and picked up the phone to contact the sellers. It must be said, this girl was quite suited for the sales business. After a fierce round of negotiation with the sellers, she finally got them to take a step back.

The final price given to Qin Yang was 18.5 million for the villa, with an entry-level sports car, a Porsche Panamera, thrown in—the car was already in the villa's garage.

For the large flat, it was 15 million, and a car was also included—a Mercedes-Benz E300.

Seeing how hard The young girl was working, Qin Yang felt the price was acceptable. So, upon arriving at the Ming'an Agency, Qin Yang decisively asked to sign the purchase contracts. He also had Deng Yue sign her name on the contracts. Ignoring Deng Yue's dazed and surprised expression, Qin Yang paid the full amount immediately. When over 30 million was swiped from Qin Yang's card, everyone in the agency stared blankly at the POS machine in the Store Manager's hand. This was over 30 million! In just one day, it had been signed by an intern.

Then, all the employees' gazes turned to Li Xin. The look of envy, jealousy, and hatred was something even Qin Yang, an outsider, could feel.

After payment, the agency would handle the subsequent title transfers and such, and then deliver the property deeds to Qin Yang; he didn't need to worry about any of that.

However, before Qin Yang left, he still said to the Store Manager, "This young girl of yours is quite interesting. I think she can be a top sales performer in the future. You must not deduct her commission!"

"Mr. Qin is absolutely right. Ever since Li Xin arrived, I felt she was a candidate for top sales. Please rest assured, Mr. Qin; our company is absolutely fair and just to our employees. I guarantee we will pay Li Xin her full commission," the Store Manager replied, bowing and scraping.

Qin Yang nodded and then said to Li Xin, "Thank you for your service today, Ms. Li. We have each other's contact information; if you need anything, feel free to contact me at any time."

"Thank you, Mr. Qin, thank you, Mr. Qin. That was all just my job." How could Li Xin not understand Qin Yang's kindness? She quickly bowed and thanked him.

Qin Yang smiled, didn't say anything more, and walked out the door with his arm around Deng Yue's shoulder.
