Can not doing what one wants be called rebirth?

Chapter 58. Being Neighbors with Guan Yongyi

Early morning, Jiangnan Home Community.

Lu Jincheng skipped his 8 a.m. class and went to a sales office near the community to look at houses.

As the saying goes, buy supporting facilities for basic needs, buy space for improvement, buy potential for investment, and buy happiness for sentiment.

At different stages, the needs for houses are also completely different.

In his previous life, Mr. Lu owned many mansions. He went through four stages from basic needs to sentimentality. He watched the housing prices develop with the times. He saw it build high-rise buildings and entertain guests, and he also saw it collapse.

Therefore, he had already demystified the house, which was nothing more than a pile of steel bars and concrete.

When Mr. Lu looks for a house, he doesn't need to compare prices from three stores and carefully select one. He also doesn't choose the brand, look at the expectations, check the supporting facilities, or choose the property like someone who has just purchased a house. He only has two needs.

Finely furnished, ready to move in.

This type of apartment is not difficult to find in Jiangnan Home as the community is large enough.

Soon, property consultant Xiao Li prepared several well-decorated second-hand houses that met Lu Jincheng's requirements for him to choose from.

"Take a look at Building 6, Building 14, and Building 17. These are all small apartments with fine decoration."

Lu Jincheng nodded and took the floor plan and photos handed to him by Xiao Li.

"Come, sit down and drink some water, then take a look."

Xiao Li was wearing a professional suit and had her hair tied up. She smiled at Lu Jincheng with patience and gentleness.

Again.

Anyone who opens their doors and does business properly will not make a scene and mock customers for no reason. At least they can save their face.

For example, the standard urban house buying scene where one pretends to be cool and then gets slapped in the face: "Can you afford it? Poor bastard!", and then the protagonist takes out his black card and acts domineering, and everyone from the salesperson to the manager to the chairman is shocked and apologizes. This kind of plot only exists in the old novels written by novices.

Real-world sales look like this:

"You are really young, handsome boy. Are you still studying?"

"Ah."

"Many of the people who come to see the house now are young people. A three-bedroom apartment in Building 6 was just booked the day before yesterday. The client is also a student about your age. She is so beautiful!"

"Oh?"

"Is it short hair?"

Lu Jincheng raised his head and, based on last night's conversation, vaguely guessed the identity of the customer.

"Yes, you know that beautiful lady?"

"Then when I show you the house later, you can go to Building 6 first~"

Real estate consultant Xiao Li took advantage of the situation.

"No, no need, look at the two buildings at the back."

Lu Jincheng quickly refused.

Being close to water has its advantages, but it should never be too close.

As the old saying goes, if you are close to someone, they will be disrespectful, and if you are far away, they will complain

Jiangnan Home Community is very large, so large that it is difficult for residents of two buildings that are far apart from each other to meet each other on weekdays.

But if it’s the same building, that’s hard to say!
Mr. Lu will never give others the opportunity to peek into his daily life.

In other words, what if he brings a girl from his neighborhood home and is seen by his neighbor Guan Guan?
It’s better to live as far away as possible.

Property consultant Xiao Li took Lu Jincheng and set out immediately to inspect two small apartments in buildings 14 and 17.

They are all Western-style houses of about 100 square meters, with spacious living rooms, master bedrooms with plenty of light, and the common area is much smaller than that of high-rise buildings with elevators in later generations.

Finally, Mr. Lu chose Building 14, which has a more modern decoration style and is located on the sixth floor.

Next came the price negotiation. The property certificate showed that the area was 99.6 square meters, and the property consultant wanted 91.6 yuan, equivalent to 9200 yuan per square meter.

A fully decorated second-hand house is indeed much more expensive than a pre-sale house.

But Mr. Lu has no mood to wait.

It's not like he's a newlywed couple who urgently needs to buy a house. If he buys a pre-sale property and then waits patiently for the property to be delivered, renovated and formaldehyde removed, by the time he really waits that time, I'm afraid there will be multiple names on the Forbes list.

"Make it cheaper, give me a base price, and I can book it today."

After hearing the price of more than 900,000, Lu Jincheng remained calm and said calmly.

Having been in the real estate sales business for a long time, Xiao Li is naturally a perceptive person, and he immediately saw that Mr. Lu really has the ability. Observing his words and expressions, some customers can talk for a whole morning and are satisfied with everything, but as soon as they hear the quotation, they immediately frown and look unhappy.

But if you are a really capable brother, he will always remain indifferent no matter what you say.

This is good, that is good, he nodded and said, oh, it’s okay.

You quoted a seven-digit price, and he thought it was fine. He had a straight face, bargained symbolically, and went through with the credit card.

Although the money in Mr. Lu’s bank card is less than a fraction of what he had in his previous life, his arrogant and domineering temperament remains unchanged.

"Okay, I'll ask my boss for instructions right away! Please wait a moment!"

Xiao Li held the materials and walked into the inner room as fast as the wind in her high heels.

There is a considerable difference in the discount you get if you can book today versus if you go back and think about it later.

Not long after, the property consultant gave the final reserve price, indicating that this was already within the bottom line range for both the landlord and the agent.

--87.

can not be lower.

"Okay, that's it, sign the contract."

Lu Jincheng readily took out his bank card, swiped it to pay the deposit, got the room key, and agreed to pay the balance after completing the formalities with the landlord.

Jiangnan Home, Building 14, Unit 1, Room 602, Lu Jincheng opened the door and looked at his first nest.

Nearly a month after his rebirth, he quickly earned his first million and now owns his own house.

Not bad!

He leaned back on the sofa and looked around, quite satisfied with his current situation.

Although Mr. Lu’s entrepreneurial journey has just begun, he has gained a lot.

He first founded the [Turning Stone into Gold] studio, and while developing in-depth exchanges with his senior schoolmates, he also tied the folk music group that was bound to take off in the future firmly to his big ship.

The original work "Next Stop, Chashan Liu" successfully passed the "Ladder Plan" of Cloud Music.

The plan is not complicated.

Once the landlord’s cat is verified as an independent musician and releases original music on the platform, it can obtain multiple benefits, including on-demand revenue, membership revenue, advertising revenue, appreciation income, etc.

The revenue for every 10,000 views is approximately several hundred yuan.

Not long after the song was released, it had already exceeded 100,000 views across the entire network and is steadily moving towards the next stage.

It is foreseeable that as their works increase and their popularity grows, the income brought to Lu Jincheng will also increase.

This is the significance of a professional MCN studio.

President Lu not only catalyzed the maturity of the two senior students in advance, but also used his vision and cognition that transcends the times to pave the way for their future.

If the landlord's cat hadn't met him, it would have taken several more years for it to cash in on its fame.

It’s only a matter of time before you make a lot of money from the studio.

What's more, with the joining of Student Union President He Ying, the studio has gained a lot more elite talents.

There will be no shortage of talents in shooting, copywriting, editing, and operation.

After becoming famous, the boss only needs to steer the company in the right direction and hand over administrative work to subordinates in a timely manner.

If we sign more potential newcomers, we can't let President Lu do it all by himself, right?

Because as the boss, you only need to focus on the top employees in the company.

Once Miao Keyan becomes a hit on Douyu Live, it will be the time for the [Turning Stone into Gold] studio to reap the rewards.

On the other side is the "Turning Stone into Gold" coffee shop that Mr. Lu took over on a spontaneous basis.

The reason for buying the coffee shop was not because Lu Jincheng loved business so much, but purely because he wanted to ensure a 100% probability that his studio could sign the landlord's cat.

To put it bluntly, he made a plate of dumplings for a dish of vinegar.

But he has been a human in two lifetimes, and he has the ability to turn this plate of dumplings into a delicious delicacy.

Zhou Sining was the first person to taste the delicious food.

She is extremely intelligent, almost never hesitates in making key decisions, and has an innate gambling nature.

As the turnover of the [Turning Stone into Gold] coffee shop continued to rise, the financial girl, as a partner, also successfully boarded Mr. Lu's business ship.
