138: Chapter 138 The mansion changes hands; the father-in-law is not recognized.

"How much can you lower the price?" It was the same familiar style; Tang Luochuan didn't know how to haggle, he only knew how to ask.

The real estate agent looked at his tablet and then said, "Sir, the landlord is also in a hurry to sell, so this price is actually quite reasonable. If you still want to negotiate, I can ask for you."

The property Tang Luochuan was viewing today wasn't a new house, but a second-hand one.

Good locations didn't have that many new houses, and who knew how long it would take for new houses to be delivered anyway.

This house, it was said, was acquired by the landlord two years ago. It hadn't been lived in much, and now the landlord was facing financial difficulties, hence the rush to sell.

"Alright, please ask for me." Tang Luochuan wasn't in a hurry; he had plenty of time.

"Please wait a moment!" The agent walked to the side and dialed the landlord's number.

Tang Luochuan wandered around the room. The house was indeed quite nice, and the furniture was all very new. He was buying this house mainly to provide a place for his parents to stay, a foothold.

The distance was perfect; it was only a ten-minute walk away, right in the neighboring residential complex. It wasn't the same complex, which was good—he didn't want to live with his parents all the time; young people still needed some personal space.

Over there, the agent walked to a corner. He definitely couldn't let the client hear his conversation with the landlord. "Hello, Mr. Su..."

"Ahem... Little Liu, wait a moment!" On the other end of the line, a middle-aged man coughed twice. A middle-aged woman's voice came through: "Who is it? Which Little Liu..." "It's nothing, work!! Work!!"

The middle-aged man was none other than Su Wantang's father, Su Bingqiang.

Years ago, he had taken advantage of a low price to acquire this house, intending to keep it as a dowry for his daughter.

But now, he really had no choice. The project had to continue. He had come this far; he was just one last push away from making money. He couldn't get stuck at this point!!

"Mr. Su, I just hosted a client here! He's very interested in your house, but feels the price is a bit high. Could you offer a little more discount?"

"Discount? My price is very reasonable. Houses around here only go up, they don't go down! How could I offer a discount?"

"Mr. Su, I understand! But you know the current market. This house has been listed for three or four months, right? Only a few people have even asked about the price! It's not easy to find a client. Please think about it again. This gentleman said he can finalize today and pay in full! He's very straightforward..."

"This..." Su Bingqiang hesitated. He was short 50 million, and the house was 48 million! The 2 million gap was easy to handle, but if he lowered the price further, it would undoubtedly increase his own pressure.

But the fact that the other party could pay in full today... was a huge temptation for him. "500,000! Not a cent more!" Su Bingqiang gritted his teeth and said.

"500,000? Can't... can you go lower?" The agent wasn't satisfied with this price either; he didn't care about the house price anymore. Although a higher price meant a higher commission, the client had to agree to it.

If it was ridiculously high, or if the client's purchasing power couldn't reach it, wouldn't he just be working in vain? He would rather help the client haggle and get a smaller commission after the deal, than help the landlord raise the price and end up failing to sell it.

"No, that's it. You can ask him. I'm not really short on money right now." Su Bingqiang was a shrewd person; he couldn't show urgency now. The more anxious he appeared, the more the other party would realize he was desperate to sell, and they would definitely haggle more.

"Oh, okay! Let me ask him first." Hanging up the phone, the agent hurried back. Now was the time to use tactics, which meant getting the client to make an impulsive purchase.

He had already prepared his speech, telling the client how suitable this house was and that this price would never happen again. Transportation, medical care, the convenience—he wouldn't have to worry about his future children's schooling. Years of experience told him what to say next.

"Mr. Tang, the landlord's position is that he can only lower it by 500,000! Actually, 48 million is already the lowest in this area... You can ask around, around here..."

Before the agent could finish, Tang Luochuan interrupted directly: "Sign the contract! That price is fine!"

"The transportation here... what did you say?" The agent was completely bewildered by Tang Luochuan's sudden remark.

"I said sign the contract. Call the landlord over. Follow the standard procedures, and it would be best if I could move in within the next two days!"

"Uh... I... okay... I'll tell the landlord." The young agent suppressed his excitement. Anything said now would be nonsense; the person wanted it! He should keep his mouth shut if he could, and even if he wanted to praise the property, he should try not to, in case the client's thinking didn't align with his.

What he considered an advantage might be a disadvantage in others' eyes, because saying too much leads to mistakes. He hurriedly walked to the side again and dialed Su Bingqiang's number: "Hello, Mr. Su..."

"Oh, didn't I tell you? I can't lower it any further!" Su Bingqiang was a bit impatient. The price was indeed fair, but fair didn't mean it would definitely sell; after all, this was tens of millions.

"No... the client said it's fine!"

"It's fine?"

"Yes, yes, yes. Do you have time? We can help you process the paperwork here, but the owner needs to come in person."

"Uh... you... you wait a moment, I'll come over immediately." Su Bingqiang hadn't expected the other party to be so decisive, finalizing it just like that.

Keeping it from Li Haixia and saying he had business at the company, Su Bingqiang hurriedly told his assistant to drive to the real estate agency. When he saw the young man in front of him, he was stunned. He was completely different from the buyer he had imagined.

He had expected a mature and steady middle-aged person, or a young elite professional, but this guy looked like he was barely on the edge of adulthood.

"Mr. Su, this is Mr. Tang, who has taken a fancy to our house! You two, please have a seat!" The real estate agent enthusiastically hosted the two.

"Hello!" Su Bingqiang reached out his hand first. Tang Luochuan also hurried over, and the two shook hands briefly: "Hello."

There was no necessity for either of them to ask for the other's full name. If Su Bingqiang had glanced one more time at Tang Luochuan's ID card on the table at this moment, perhaps this deal would have ended right there. This was his daughter's boyfriend!

And Tang Luochuan didn't know Su Bingqiang at all, unless the other party mentioned his daughter's name.

"Young man, what are you buying this for?" The two chatted idly.

"Oh, my parents are coming to the Magic City in a while, and I thought I'd give them a place to stay!"

"Hmm, young and promising! Young and promising indeed~~~" For some reason, Su Bingqiang felt a bit uncomfortable. This was a house he had bought for his daughter to be used as a dowry later; she hadn't even lived in it. But now, it was sold to someone else, and that someone was using it to honor their parents. The young man in front of him... was quite pleasing to the eye!!

"Where do you work?"

"Uh... I..."

"Oh, if it's not convenient to say, then don't! You don't look very old either," Su Bingqiang asked.

Tang Luochuan nodded: "Right, I turned 19 after my birthday! Still a month or so away..."

"Oh my, so young?" This really shocked Su Bingqiang.
