45: Chapter 45 Purchasing a 200 Million Yuan Mansion

After returning to Pengcheng, Li Yi slept soundly.

In any case, the subsequent handling of the F-16 Fighter Jet shootdown would be managed by the Glass House; the Glass House would not give up such an opportunity to increase its influence.

Upon waking up, Li Yi saw that he was still living in this rental room and felt a bit displeased.

Now that he was a billionaire with assets worth billions, he needed a place that matched his status.

Looking at the 1500 kilograms of gold stored in the Multiverse Arms Trading System, Li Yi decided to sell a batch of gold to exchange for funds to improve his living environment.

Due to his previous gold trading cooperation with Zhoulaofu Jewelry, Li Yi brought 50 jin of gold to find Manager Wang. After testing, it was sold at the transaction price of 424 yuan per gram. Li Yi received 10.6 million yuan.

Through talking with Manager Wang, Li Yi learned that Zhoulaofu Jewelry could purchase large quantities of gold and did not care about the source of the gold. Li Yi decided to sell another 1000 jin of gold to Zhoulaofu Jewelry.

After negotiations with Manager Wang, because the amount of gold sold this time was relatively large, Zhoulaofu Jewelry could increase the purchase price, recycling it at 425 yuan per gram.

Li Yi wanted to offload this batch of gold as soon as possible and did not mind the price increase of only 1 yuan per gram.

Since the weight of the gold sold reached 1000 jin, it was impossible for Li Yi to bring the gold to Zhoulaofu Jewelry himself. After thinking about it, Li Yi decided to sell it directly in the rental room. Anyway, he wouldn't be living there anymore, so it was a good location for selling the gold.

Getting into the vehicle arranged by Manager Wang, Li Yi and Manager Wang soon arrived at the rental room.

Subsequently, Li Yi went to the bedroom and extracted 1000 jin of gold from the Multiverse Arms Trading System, calling Manager Wang's people to transport and weigh it.

Seeing the gold piled up casually, Manager Wang felt that Li Yi was truly bold to dare not keep such a large amount of gold in a safe.

After testing and weighing, the weight of the gold was confirmed to be 1000 jin. After Manager Wang and Li Yi signed the gold sales contract, Li Yi quickly received 212.5 million yuan.

This was the largest sum of funds Li Yi's bank card had ever received. By now, the funds on Li Yi's bank card had reached 238.92 million yuan, exceeding the wealth of the vast majority of people.

After Manager Wang left with the escorted gold, Li Yi felt it was better to clear out the remaining gold in the Multiverse Arms Trading System.

Now, the Multiverse Arms Trading System still had 975 kilograms of gold left; such a large amount of gold could not be sold to a single jewelry store.

Li Yi successively appeared at Jin Zhizun Jewelry, Jiufu Jewelry, and Laomiao Gold Store. After selling 50 jin of gold and learning that they could purchase large amounts of gold, he subsequently went to the rental room to conduct a large transaction of 600 jin of gold.

After some operations, all 1.5 tons of gold obtained from Jordan were sold. The gold price for the later sales ranged from 423 yuan to 427 yuan per gram, cumulatively obtaining 413.8 million yuan.

In the end, the 1500 kilograms of gold obtained a total of 636.9 million yuan, and the bank card funds reached 652.72 million yuan, breaking the 500 million yuan mark.

Li Yi counted the numbers of such a large amount and was overjoyed.

Now, he needed to quickly find a luxury mansion to improve his life; Li Yi had no intention of denying himself enjoyment.

After comparing the surrounding environment, Li Yi chose Pengcheng No. 1, a high-end urban complex, as his next residence.

As a first-line sea-view plot in the inner lake of Pengcheng Bay, Pengcheng No. 1 is a high-end urban complex integrating office, residential, hotel, and commercial functions, and it is also a landmark building complex in the area.

Li Yi directly contacted a large real estate agency and was told that this agency happened to have properties in Pengcheng No. 1.

The customer service representative learned that Li Yi had the intention to purchase a house in Pengcheng No. 1 and enthusiastically invited him to the company for a detailed discussion.

Li Yi understood that inviting him over was just to figure out whether he truly had the strength to purchase a house in Pengcheng No. 1. It was impossible for the agency to take him to see the house immediately just because Li Yi said he wanted to buy a house in Pengcheng No. 1.

For luxury homes, this was not realistic.

After Li Yi arrived at the real estate agency's office building, a receptionist took him to meet the sales manager in charge of Pengcheng No. 1.

The sales manager was surnamed Yu, a plump young woman. After seeing Li Yi, she looked him up and down and asked, "Manager Li, are you planning to purchase a residence in Pengcheng No. 1?"

"Yes, the area should preferably be relatively large, with good privacy, and it would be best if it can be moved into after some minor tidying up." Li Yi briefly stated his requirements.

"What size are you looking for?"

"At least 500 square meters or more."

500 square meters—that was basically a large flat. For such a large luxury home, the price would not be low, at least 100 to 200 million yuan or more. After a quick judgment, Manager Yu understood the funds Li Yi would be able to bring out.

"These are the residential properties currently for sale in Pengcheng No. 1, all of which are already decorated." Manager Yu took out introductions and pictures of several houses and handed them to Li Yi.

Li Yi flipped through them; the areas were basically all over 500 square meters, only the decoration styles and floors were different.

After picking for a while, Li Yi selected two houses and said, "Can we go see these two first?"

Manager Yu looked at the situation of these two houses and asked Li Yi, "These two houses are worth more than 200 million yuan each. Are you sure you want to buy them?"

"Of course, if the house visit is suitable." Li Yi said very firmly.

Manager Yu arranged a car to take Li Yi directly to Pengcheng No. 1. The environment of Pengcheng No. 1 was quite good; from a distance, one could see the sea view, and there was also an inner bay lake, with high vegetation coverage and tree-lined roads. Li Yi found it quite comfortable.

After viewing the two houses one after another, Li Yi selected a large flat of 513.44 square meters, which came with a large balcony.

The entire unit layout included four bedrooms, one study, three living rooms, five bathrooms, and a nanny suite, with the dining and living room area reaching over 140 square meters. The oversized landscape balcony offered a 180-degree unobstructed view of the sea and the inner bay lake. The elevator was a luxurious private elevator hall with good privacy, so he didn't have to worry about his comings and goings. The decoration was also luxurious with a minimalist style, and the supporting furniture was of high quality.

After Li Yi finished looking briefly, he said to Manager Yu, "If I want to buy this house, how long will it take to complete the procedures, and how long until I can move in?"

"Our agency handles the procedures on your behalf throughout the whole process; it can be completed within a week at the fastest. As for moving in, after we send people to clean it, you can move in by tomorrow night at the latest."

"What is the price for this house?"

"The unit price is 398,000 yuan per square meter. We can offer a discount, selling it at 380,000 yuan per square meter, with a quote of 195 million yuan. Plus the relevant taxes and fees, the total price is 200 million yuan."

200 million yuan? This selling price was still within Li Yi's budget, and the house here also made Li Yi feel quite comfortable.

"Okay. I'll buy it. Let's go with the total price of 200 million yuan, and you are responsible for handling all the procedures." Li Yi directly made the final decision.

Manager Yu was overjoyed; she didn't expect him to purchase it after just one look, and said, "Okay, we will follow up on all procedures throughout the process and hand the house over to you as soon as possible."

Subsequently, Li Yi and Manager Yu returned to their office building and communicated about the content of the house sales contract, quickly reaching an agreement.

Li Yi readily paid the 200 million yuan house purchase payment, and the rest was just waiting to move in and get the property ownership certificate.

Because the luxury mansion was not yet ready, Li Yi could only stay in a five-star hotel for two days for the time being, and he did not intend to return to the rental room again.
