Going home for the Chinese New Year with a year-end bonus of 100 million

The third location is on the west side of the university town, in a semi-new, semi-old residential area.

The community is small, with only eight buildings, but the environment is quiet and the greenery is lush.

Zhou Yao showed Yang Fan a four-story detached house located in a corner of the community.

"This house was originally built by the owner, but it was later incorporated into the community's unified planning," Zhou Yao explained as she opened the door.

"The owner works in another city and rarely comes back, so he wants to sell."

As soon as the door opened, Yang Fan's eyes lit up.

The house has a frame structure and almost no interior walls; it's a large open space.

Each floor has an area of ​​about 100 square meters and a ceiling height of 3.2 meters, creating a great sense of space.

What Yang Fan was most satisfied with was that an elevator shaft was reserved on one side of the house—although no elevator has been installed yet, the structure is already in place.

"Brother Fan, look," Zhou Yao said, pointing to the elevator shaft.

"An elevator can be installed here directly without damaging the main structure."

"Also, each floor of this building has its own independent drainage system, so you can modify the bathroom however you want."

Yang Fan walked slowly through the house, his mind already starting to make plans.

The first floor can be used as a living room, dining room, and kitchen, plus a bedroom with a private bathroom for Mr. and Mrs. Lin, so they don't have to climb stairs.

The second floor can be divided into three rooms with bathrooms for the parents, the third uncle and aunt, and Yang Hao.

There are also three rooms on the third floor, one for myself, one for Xiaoya, and one for Lin Xiaoyu.

The fourth floor can be used as a study, entertainment room, or partitioned into one or two guest rooms for future guests.

There are restrooms on every floor, so there's no need to queue in the morning.

It has an elevator, making it convenient to go up and down the stairs. The frame structure allows for flexible modification of partitions as needed.

"How much is this house?" Yang Fan asked.

Zhou Yao gave a number: "The owner asked for 3.8 million."

"However, I know a real estate agent and can negotiate the price. Besides, the house has been vacant for almost a year, and the owner is eager to sell, so I should be able to get a better deal."

Three million eight hundred thousand.

Yang Fan did some mental calculations.

He currently has over six million in his system's fund pool, and he had over ninety million left from the previous "licking dog" system, which is more than enough to buy this house.

"Can we schedule a meeting with the homeowner?" he asked.

Zhou Yao's eyes lit up: "Brother Fan, you're interested? I'll contact him right away!"

"..."

The owner is a man in his fifties surnamed Chen who does business in Shenzhen.

Hearing from Zhou Yao that someone was genuinely interested in buying it, he flew back the next day.

The meeting was arranged at the house, and Yang Fan brought Yang Jianguo and Yang Hao along—buying a house was a big deal, and he wanted to show it to his family.

Boss Chen was very straightforward and said directly:

"Young man, I can tell you're an honest person."

"I spent over two million yuan to buy this house, and one million yuan on renovations."

"The current price is 380, but if you really want it, you can take it for 350."

Yang Fan didn't rush to bargain, but instead asked, "Boss Chen, may I ask why you're selling it?"

Mr. Chen sighed:

"My business in Shenzhen is doing quite well, and I plan to bring my family there."

"This house is just sitting empty anyway, might as well sell it and get some cash."

"And I heard that a subway will be built in the university town area in the future, which will definitely increase the property prices. But I can't wait any longer, I need working capital for my business."

subway?

Yang Fan's heart skipped a beat.

If the subway is indeed built, there is definitely room for property prices to rise here.

"Boss Chen, 350 is a bit high," Yang Fan said.

"Although this house has a frame structure, it is quite old after all."

"And if I were to buy it, I would have to spend a lot of money on renovations and installing an elevator."

"What do you think of 320?"

Boss Chen frowned: "Three hundred and twenty is too low. Let's compromise, three hundred and thirty, that's the lowest we can go."

Yang Fan looked at his father.

Although Yang Jianguo felt that more than three million yuan was still expensive, he nodded when he saw that his son really liked the house.

"Okay, three hundred and thirty." Yang Fan made the decision.

"However, I have one condition: the transfer process needs to be expedited. I hope it can be completed within a month."

"No problem!" Boss Chen laughed. "I love dealing with straightforward people!"

"..."

On his way home, Yang Jianguo was still somewhat uneasy.

"Xiao Fan, three million three hundred thousand... isn't that too expensive? A building in our hometown only costs a few hundred thousand."

"Dad, this isn't our hometown," Yang Fan explained patiently.

"This is the provincial capital, the university town."

"At this price, buying a four-story detached house like this is already considered cheap."

"And think about it, with our whole family living here, how much does it cost per person on average?"

Yang Hao chimed in, "Second Uncle, Brother Fan is right."

"This house has a frame structure, so it's easy to renovate."

"With the elevator installed, it's much easier for Uncle Lin to go up and down the stairs. There are restrooms on every floor, so there's no need to rush in the morning."

"Even after we each start our own families, this will still be our 'roots,' and we'll always have a place to stay when we come back for holidays."

As Yang Jianguo listened, he gradually accepted it.

Yes, my son is right. A family always needs a regular place to gather.

"So... how much will the renovation cost?" he asked.

"I've done a preliminary calculation; installing the elevator will cost around 200,000 yuan, and the overall renovation will cost around 500,000 yuan, totaling 700,000 yuan," Yang Fan said.

"The total investment is four million, but once it's finished, it's comfortable to live in, and it will be worth a lot when you sell it later."

Four million.

Yang Jianguo never imagined in his life that his family could spend four million to buy a house.

But looking at his son's composed demeanor, he knew that his son had the ability and was genuinely thinking about the family.

"Alright," he finally relented. "You handle it. Dad's old and doesn't understand these things, but Dad trusts you."

Yang Fan smiled: "Dad, don't worry, I will definitely handle this well."

……

That evening, Yang Fan told his family about the house viewing experience.

Upon hearing the price of 3.3 million, both Wang Xiuying and Li Cuihua gasped in shock.

But after hearing Yang Fan's explanation—that it has a frame structure, can accommodate elevators, has a bathroom on each floor, and that the property value will rise after the subway opens—people gradually accepted it.

"Brother, with the elevator installed, it will be much easier for my dad to go up and down the stairs," Lin Xiaoyu said softly, her eyes full of gratitude.

"Brother Fan, when can we move in?" Yang Hao asked.

"It will take a month to buy the property and three months to renovate it," Yang Fan said. "If all goes well, we can move in before the Spring Festival."

"Before the Spring Festival..." Xiaoya's eyes lit up, "Then we can spend the Spring Festival in our new house this year?"

"Yes." Yang Fan nodded with a smile.

The family gathered together, discussing the plans for their new house—where to put the living room, where to put the dining room, how to lay out the kitchen, what flowers to plant in the yard…

The atmosphere was warm and lively.

Yang Fan watched this scene with a heart full of emotion.

What he wanted was just this—a family together, their own house, and a peaceful life.

Money can be earned back, but the warmth of home is priceless.
