Back to 1997, I became the originator of online literature

Chapter 278 Buying a house shocked the Chinese people
a few days later.

Cao Sheng received the loan agreement sent by Bao Jianfeng.

After Cao Sheng signed and put his fingerprints on the document, he asked Wang Jing to transfer the money to the Qidian company account.

A few days later, Bao Jianfeng called to share his joy - he had successfully acquired a small website.

The name of that small website sounded unfamiliar to Cao Sheng, who forgot it as soon as he heard it.

On the phone, Bao Jianfeng said that he was negotiating acquisition terms with another small website and the results should come out soon.

Cao Sheng said congratulations, but he didn't really take it seriously.

In his opinion, Qidian's current actions are just minor ones and not worth mentioning.

A few more days later.

He and Wang Jing set off and flew to Pengcheng. They spent a few days looking around for properties. A few days later, they bought a building in Shekou, Pengcheng.

It is a residential building with a total of 18 floors.

Currently, the housing price in Pengcheng is more than 5,000 yuan per square meter.

The total price of a house of 100 square meters is about 500,000 yuan, ten houses are 5 million yuan, and 100 houses are 50 million yuan.

This 18-story residential building has 108 apartments.

The total price is nearly 6000 million, because some of the units are more than square meters.

But because we were buying the entire building, the price was negotiated down by several million.

The final total price was 5500 million.

Cao Sheng was unable to purchase the house with full payment as he did not have that much money at the moment and he did not think it was cost-effective to pay in full. He made a down payment of 1500 million and took out a bank loan for the rest.

These days, the way Wang Jing looked at him was different from before.

It's like watching a big dog owner.

When others buy a house, they have to choose carefully and hesitate for a long time, but this bastard actually buys a building at a time.

When she first became Cao Sheng's assistant, she learned that he had properties in Beijing and Shanghai. In addition to the villa in Huizhou, he also had a small courtyard. She was not very surprised and thought that it was normal for him to have those houses given his income.

I'm just a little surprised that he is so young and has the courage to invest in so many properties?

But this time when I came to Pengcheng with Cao Sheng, I heard him say that he wanted to buy a building...

At first, she thought he was joking.

I thought he was quite humorous.

Unexpectedly, after arriving in Pengcheng, he really asked her to inquire about residential communities that had just been launched for sale or were about to be launched for sale.

For several days, she was skeptical, not sure whether he wanted to buy several units or a whole building.

at this time.

She witnessed Cao Sheng signing and stamping on one house purchase contract after another under the smiling gaze of the sales manager, company boss, sales lady and others.

She was numb.

They all looked a little dazed.

It feels like everything in front of me is so unreal.

How old is he?
20? Or was it 21?

Are you buying a whole building?
She suddenly felt that the real luxury in this world was not brand-name watches or bags, but houses!

Especially a whole building of houses!

The total price was 55 million! He just signed and spent it?

She recalled how she felt when she learned from the news that he had earned more than 20 million in the first half of this year.

At that time, she didn't feel much, she just thought he was rich! Very rich! A multi-millionaire.

And now?

Seeing him easily buy a building worth 55 million, she finally realized how amazing the purchasing power of the money he had, which after paying taxes was less than 20 million.

A down payment of several million yuan is enough to buy a building worth more than 50 million yuan.

At this moment, she suddenly felt that within ten years, he would be worth over 100 million yuan.

Many people could not imagine being a billionaire in 2000.

In the eyes of many people, a billionaire is a wealthy person who can be given the title of "tycoon".

At this moment, Cao Sheng seemed to have an extra halo in her eyes.

——The halo of a future tycoon.

As a future tycoon, Cao Sheng no longer bought the property in his own name this time, but in the name of his company.

He recently officially registered a company.

The company name still uses the two words "Xi Tong".

There are two advantages to buying a property in the name of a company.

First, it can reduce taxes, and second, it can avoid having to divide half of your property with someone else in the event of divorce in the future.

When Cao Sheng signed the agreement in front of him, the boss of the real estate company immediately stepped forward and held Cao Sheng's right hand tightly with both hands.

The attitude is very enthusiastic.

"Writer Cao! Let's go! I've already ordered some food and drinks at the hotel. Let's go have a couple of drinks! I just told you that my son is a fan of your books. It's true! He really is a fan of your books. I just asked someone to call him and ask him to come over. When he arrives, I'll ask him to toast you a couple of drinks! Haha..."

Yes!

The people in the sales office have already recognized Cao Sheng's identity.

What can we say about Cao Sheng’s face now?

When he walks on the street, not many people can recognize him at a glance.

Few people would associate a passerby with a famous writer.

Even though Cao Sheng has been in the news many times, he is not like the celebrities or hosts who appear in the news frequently.

So, except for a few book lovers, most people would not be able to recognize him on the street.

Just like when he and Wang Jing first came to this property to look at properties, the dozen or so sales ladies in the sales office, including the sales manager, were unable to recognize his identity at first glance.

But when he asked about the price of the entire building and said he wanted to buy the entire building, the sales lady was surprised and subconsciously looked at him carefully.

Soon I asked him carefully if he was a little gray in the Central Plains?

On that day, the entire sales office knew that he was Zhongyuan Yidianhui.

After hearing that he was Zhongyuan Dianhui, many of them couldn't help but stare at his face, and then one by one... they recognized him.

They are all sure that he is the one who makes the Central Plains gray.

At noon that day, Cao Sheng was warmly received by the boss and department heads of the real estate company.

The level of enthusiasm was like a fan meeting.

"Writer Cao! I'm a fan of your books!"

"Mr. Cao! I'm also a fan of your books!"

"Ah Hui! Ah Hui! Are you familiar with this name? We usually call you this in your book review section, right? Hehe."

……

Cao Sheng, who was toasted by these people in turn and listened to their words, couldn't help but wonder if he had entered a den of book fans?
Reason told him - impossible! These people were building and selling buildings, it was impossible for them to have so much time to read his novels every day.

But these people are such good at acting, from their expressions to their tones, at first glance, they all look like book fans.

As Cao Sheng drank, he was a little worried about whether the news that he had bought a whole building here would get out and be reported by the media.
He didn't want the incident to be reported.

While we were drinking, I mentioned the matter to the boss of the real estate company about keeping it confidential.

The CEO waved his hand nonchalantly, "It's okay! There are many celebrities who come to us to buy houses. You don't think that our domestic celebrities and stars don't invest in real estate, do you? How many news reports have you seen about them buying houses? Not many! Right? Haha, so don't worry! This news will definitely not spread! Our company has received professional training and has such a sense of confidentiality, so don't worry!"

Hearing him say this, Cao Sheng felt relieved.

But facts soon proved that the boss's words were too confident. He underestimated the fame of Zhongyuan Yidianhui and the news value of becoming famous and making a fortune at a young age.

That afternoon.

An evening newspaper in Pengcheng published the story of Cao Sheng buying a house.

The title is simple and straightforward: "20-year-old Zhongyuan Yidianhui bought a whole building!!!" The bold title and the eye-catching three exclamation marks attracted the attention of many readers.

……

Sun Hai is Cao Sheng’s junior high school classmate.

He is currently working as a screwdriver in an electronics factory in Pengcheng. That evening, after get off work, he returned to the urban village as usual.

Many of the workers in Shenzhen live in urban villages.

Before returning to the dormitory, Sun Hai went to a food stall he often visited and ordered a plate of fried eggs with leeks. When the dish was served, he stood up to get some rice.

When I came back with the meal, I saw that the guests at the table next to me had paid the bill and left, leaving a newspaper on the table.

Sun Hai hesitated for a moment, then stood up and took the newspaper, flipping through it while eating to pass the time.

The life of screwing screws in the factory has exhausted his passion for life.

There is absolutely no hope for the future.

Gradually, he no longer dared to look directly at the young girl with regular features and a well-proportioned figure, because he felt that a worker like himself was not worthy of such a girl.

During the years he worked in Pengcheng, he gradually became indifferent.

Live frugally.

He felt that his only hope was to work in Pengcheng for a few more years, save some money, return to his hometown to go on a blind date, and find a girl who had not been to a big city and seen the world to marry.

He has never bought anything like newspapers.

I can't bear to buy it.

What he didn't expect was that a familiar face appeared on the newspaper he picked up.

"Cao Sheng?"

Looking at Cao Sheng in the newspaper, Sun Hai was stunned.

Can't believe my eyes.

Subconsciously, I thought this was someone very similar to Cao Sheng.

But curiosity still drove him to read the news bit by bit.

The five words "A little gray in the Central Plains" came into his eyes.

"20 years old" also caught his eye.

Soon, he saw the words "Cao Sheng" in the news.

Real hammer!
Is it really Cao Sheng?
Sun Hai felt it was too fake! Was he dreaming?
He subconsciously put down the chopsticks in his hand and pinched his thigh.

Not a dream?

Is it really Cao Sheng? He actually bought a whole building in Pengcheng, where every inch of land is worth a lot of money?
How can this be?

This guy didn't have money to eat meat in school before, how come he is so rich now? Writing novels? What kind of novels can make so much money? Can I write it?

He read the news several times and was reluctant to throw away the newspaper.

When leaving the food stall, he looked up at the dim sky and felt the magic of fate.

Cao Sheng...

Sun Hai, who graduated from the same junior high school as him, worked as a screwdriver in an electronics factory with a bleak future, but Cao Sheng had already become the most outstanding young writer in the country.

He remembered that Cao Sheng used to have good academic performance.

He is a top student in their middle school.

I didn’t expect that after writing novels, this guy turned out to be the top student in the entire industry.

Is the quality of that crappy middle school in our hometown so high?

Sun Hai walked towards his residence with a wry smile.

……

With the newspaper reports, the news of Cao Sheng buying a house quickly spread.

First, some media in Pengcheng began to reprint the article.

TV station report.

Then, media in other cities also began to report on the incident.

Especially on the Internet, news spreads very quickly.

Soon, someone talked about this in the book review section of "The Linglong Tower of Heaven and Earth".

"Ahui is awesome! Do you know what he bought recently? If I tell you, you won't believe it! He actually came to Pengcheng to buy a building! Note! It's a building! Not a house! He actually bought a residential building worth more than 50 million! Can you believe it?"

When this post was first published, more than a dozen people replied, all expressing disbelief.

The first post said: "The author of the post is really sensational! He brags without thinking! Do you know how much Ah Hui is worth now? He made several million last year and 20 million in the first half of this year. Adding what he made before, it can't be more than 30 million, right? Can he buy a building worth more than 50 million?"

Second post: "What is the purpose of the OP making up such a rumor?"

Third Floor: "Anyone who believes this kind of news is a fool! Ah Hui may be rich, but he is definitely not this rich!"

……

It was not until the 17th post that someone replied: "The above poster, what he said should be true! Our Pengcheng newspaper has already reported this news, right! Don't you know that you can get a loan to buy a house? Not to mention buying a whole building? The author can just pay a down payment and then apply for a bank loan!"

In the subsequent comments, several people also testified.

It is said that the media in Pengcheng has already reported the news.

Gradually, the entire book review area became lively.

Nowadays, many ordinary people really don’t know that they can get a loan to buy a house.

Because buying a house with a loan has not yet become a trend.

In this era, buying a house is not yet a necessity for young people to get married.

But after some netizens explained, everyone quickly understood one thing - it is possible to get a loan to buy a house, and Cao Sheng really had the possibility of buying a building.

As more and more domestic media reported this news, the news that Cao Sheng bought an entire building quickly spread inside and outside the circle.

I don’t know how many people were shocked.

Readers were surprised that Zhongyuan Yidianhui could actually buy a building, and some of them were inspired to write novels and scripts.

Traditional writers are more eager for their works to be adapted into scripts and sold to film and television companies.

These traditional writers originally pursued the path of publishing, winning awards, and film and television adaptations.

Online writers are all envious.

It's like listening to a myth.

Many of these writers are still motivated by love and have not earned a dime in royalties! Cao Sheng's royalties are enough to buy a building worth more than 50 million yuan...

A very small number of famous writers, although they dare not say it out loud, have already regarded Cao Sheng as a guiding light in their hearts and hope that they can be as successful as Cao Sheng.

For example, the Third Young Master, where is he now, Han Er, Guo Xiaosi and others.

……

While Wang Zuxian was filming in Hong Kong, she heard someone in the crew mention Zhongyuan Yidianhui.

Who is talking about my man?
Are they saying bad things about my man?

She subconsciously turned to look over.

Then he hooked his finger at the assistant beside him and whispered, "Go! Listen to what they are talking about, go over quietly, don't let them find out!"

The assistant nodded, walked around quietly, came near those people, pricked up his ears to listen for a moment, and returned to Wang Zuxian's side.

He repeated in a low voice the news he had just heard.

Wang Zuxian's eyes lit up when she heard this, especially when she heard that Cao Sheng was in Pengcheng recently, she looked at her assistant in surprise.

Pengcheng?

Pengcheng is very close to Hong Kong!

He hasn't helped me get pregnant yet!
