Days in Hong Kong variety shows

"Mr. Cao, as you know, there have been rumors circulating recently (about the negotiation issue). The owner is in the foreign trade business, and because he has a lot of outstanding payments from overseas, his company needs working capital, which is why he is in a hurry to put the property on the market."

Look, this new house was just renovated. The owner originally planned to live in it himself, and all the furniture and appliances were bought. But then his business ran into some problems, so he had to cash out to take care of the business first.

You don't need to worry about the price. The owner is very willing to put the property on the market. The asking price is 268 million, which includes an underground parking space. All the furniture and appliances in the house are included, and the owner will not be moving out.

"At this point, this price is considered very attractive in Mid-Levels." Upon hearing that Cao Tai was interested in acquiring this unit, the female real estate agent, Ms. Zhang, immediately began to explain the details of the apartment.

"Okay, make an appointment with the owner now and see if it's convenient. If it is, ask him if he can bring all the documents to this house to sign the contract. If so, I'll call my lawyer over now." Since the price offered by the owner was about the same as the average price in this area that Cao Tai had previously learned about, Cao Tai didn't haggle and focused on making a quick decision.

Although the two agents are luxury real estate agents, they don't seem to be doing very well in this industry, because they don't even have a mobile phone.

Top real estate agents on Hong Kong Island can easily earn two or three million a year. To stay in touch with homeowners or clients, they usually buy private mobile phones. Although the phone price and network subscription can cost thirty or forty thousand dollars, and there are monthly fees and call charges of several thousand or even over ten thousand dollars, these top agents will not skimp on these expenses for the sake of business.

After all, there are at least several thousand people in Hong Kong Island with a net worth of over 100 million, and luxury homes are a scarce resource. Every time they are released, multiple clients will compete for them. So, if you can contact clients one step ahead, your success rate will be several times higher than others.

Cao Tai was able to see this house immediately and have a chance to buy it because Ms. Zhang signed an exclusive agreement with the owner for half a month in advance, successfully keeping the house on the market and preventing other agents from knowing that it was available. Cao Tai was able to come and see the house as soon as he was notified.

After agent Ms. Zhang contacted the client using Cao Tai's mobile phone, Cao Tai then called over his lawyer, Hu Zhiyong. That's right, the same Hu Zhiyong who was brought to the forefront by the "Z Foundation" in the "anti-corruption" case, and ultimately, it was only he, the agent, who bore the brunt of the charges.

In a huge pie worth over 10 billion, among those waiting to share it with knives and forks, Hu Zhiyong could only sit at the end of the table at most. But when things went wrong, he was at the forefront, which shows that at that time he was at most a pawn.

Even top lawyers have to bow down for money and become pawns. When Cao Tai first met Hu Zhiyong at the "Huang & Chen Law Firm", he thought about hiring him as his private lawyer. After all, in the "anti-corruption" field, he was already a senior lawyer who was proficient in various legal provisions and had his own methods. His exposure was only due to his carelessness in being ambushed by the girl he had controlled for many years.

Hu Zhiyong is currently just a young solicitor in "Huang and Chen," so when a big shot extends an olive branch, he will naturally seize it.

The procedures were completed quite quickly because Cao Tai chose to pay in full at once. After the contract was signed, a bank transfer was scheduled immediately, and the owner readily handed over the keys. All that was left was to wait for lawyer Hu Zhiyong to complete the formalities and for the new title deed to be issued.

After Hu Zhiyong took Xiao Fu and the homeowner to the bank to transfer the money, Cao Tai also paid the agent, Ms. Zhang, a 3% commission of 8 yuan. After they went back,

Let's take another look at this spacious 2888 square feet apartment. It has four bedrooms, two living rooms, a large balcony, two suites, and a shared bathroom. Both suites are very spacious. In addition, the apartment also has a maid's suite that can accommodate two domestic helpers.

Since the previous owner had already furnished the house with all the furniture and appliances, Cao Tai and his family only needed to buy some bedding and kitchenware, and then they could move in with their clothes.

An hour later, Xiao Fu returned. Cao Tai suggested that they have lunch to celebrate first, and then the three of them go shopping together in the afternoon. Buying a new house was a happy thing, after all, having a fixed place to live meant that they had initially established themselves in Hong Kong Island.

Before leaving, Cao Tai noticed Xiao Fu's hesitant expression and asked curiously, "Why have you become so strange since you came back from your trip? You're like a mimosa plant. Is there something you can't just say openly?"

"Brother Tai, Mr. Liu (the owner) said he has a smaller apartment on the 6th floor of that building over there. It's about half the size of yours, with three rooms, and he wants to put it on the market for 112 million. I'd like to borrow money from you to buy it and live in it myself." Xiao Fu hesitated for a moment, after all, he was still young and hadn't developed a thick skin like in the movies after experiencing so many bad things. Then, he mustered up his courage, his face flushed, and pointed to the 24-story building in front of him, stammering as he finished speaking in one breath. Then he looked down at his toes.

Seeing his cautious manner, Cao Tai went over and put his arm around his. "Xiao Fu, I consider you my own brother. I've already prepared a suite in my house for you. But since you want to buy another house for yourself, as your older brother, I can't not support you. No need to borrow money; consider it a gift from your sister-in-law and me. You agree, right, darling?"

The last sentence was addressed to the Hong Kong student.

"Yeah, the three of us are practically inseparable, so don't be so polite with us. Since you want to buy a house, Tai and I will give you one."

"But the apartment you mentioned is only on the sixth floor and quite small. How about we ask the agent to find you a bigger one, at least something similar to your current one?" Hong Sheng also supported buying an apartment for Xiao Fu, and even thought the one Xiao Fu mentioned was a bit too small. Sure enough, after seeing a bigger apartment, Ms. Wang's standards immediately rose.

"Sister-in-law, no need, the one we just mentioned is fine. Mr. Liu said the usable area is 1600 square feet, which I calculated is about 150 square meters. It's enough for me, I think it's too big. It will be enough for my mother to live in later." Xiao Fu raised his head and said with gratitude on his face.

"Alright! Since you've made up your mind, let's call Mr. Liu and Attorney Hu back now and go straight to see the house. If it's suitable, we can complete the formalities immediately. It should be done in an hour. It doesn't matter if we have lunch a little later." Since Xiao Fu had already made up his mind, Cao Tai decided to act decisively and called Mr. Liu and Hu Zhiyong back from where they were halfway there.

Selling two houses in one day quickly brought in a large sum of money, which should be enough to help his business recover. Mr. Liu was all smiles this time, no longer with the serious expression he had when we first met.

Hu Zhiyong, the lawyer, was quite happy because he was able to help the new and old bosses and demonstrate his abilities in a small way. You know, Cao Tai had previously introduced him to Da Sha, a relatively large client. As a young solicitor, having a large company with an annual turnover of over 100 million yuan as a client is quite impressive.

Xiao Fu moved into this house last year. The previous owner, Mr. Liu, had rented it out for almost a year, and the current tenant moved out less than a month ago, so the house is still very clean and new. As long as someone does a thorough cleaning, he can move in with his clothes.

Looking at my watch, it was already past 1 p.m. I went downstairs to the property management office and asked them to help me contact a cleaning company to schedule someone to come and clean my unit on the 6th floor of "Zhaoyuan" at 3 p.m. Since there is only one unit per floor, I just need to give them the floor number.

The three of them then drove to Central and found a Cantonese restaurant, where they ordered a few popular and tasty dishes to quickly fill their stomachs.

When Cao Tai returned to Xiao Fu's building, he immediately saw a white 7-seater van with "Wu Bao Cleaning" printed on it parked downstairs. A bespectacled man with curly hair was gesturing wildly and talking to Uncle Quan, the security guard of "Zhao Yuan". Seeing that the two of them had smiles on their faces, he was sure they weren't arguing.

Cao Tai stopped the car not far from the two of them. When he rolled down the window, he saw that Uncle Quan had already greeted Curly Hair and then jogged over.

"Mr. Cao, you're back!" Uncle Quan greeted him somewhat awkwardly, then pulled over the curly-haired man who had followed him. "Mr. Cao, this is Li Ji, the manager of 'Wubao Cleaning Company.' Didn't Mr. Wang say he needed someone to clean his house at 3 o'clock? So we arranged for Wubao Cleaning to come over. Curly-haired man, say hello!" He then turned to the curly-haired man beside him and called out.

"Mr. Cao, hello! I am Li Ji from Wubao Cleaning. My name is Li, which means 'wood' and 'ji' means 'old horse in its stall.' You can also call me Juanmao Ji. This is my business card." Juanmao's pronunciation was a little unclear, but Cao Tai still understood him.

He reached out and took the business card from the curly-haired man. It read "Wubao Cleaning Company - Manager - Li Ji" followed by a landline and a pager number. The business card had a minimalist design.

"Mr. Cao, Ah Ji is my old neighbor. I've watched him grow up since I was a child. Although his cleaning company has only been open for a short time, it has already become quite famous because of its good service. So, I'm taking the liberty of introducing him to your house for cleaning." It seems that Uncle Quan really wants to help his old neighbor get business. Saying this is almost like giving a guarantee.

"Thank you, Uncle Quan! Shall we go up now?" Cao Tai replied with a smile. The Five Lucky Stars! I never expected to see these lively characters in a Hong Kong variety show.

"Okay, thank you, Mr. Cao. I'll go get the cleaning tools right now," Curly Hair said hurriedly.

I saw Curly run back to the bread truck and knock on the door. Then he opened the door and four men with distinct features got out. Standing next to Curly, they were all different heights, weights, and shapes.

When the passenger door opened and a figure stepped out, whom Cao Tai had only seen in profile while sitting in the car, his eyes lit up. Thick eyebrows and large, alluring eyes, a high and straight nose with a round and fleshy tip, and full lips created a dignified yet approachable face. When he smiled, his teeth were exposed, which seemed a bit unrestrained and flamboyant, while his slightly narrowed eyes were full of affection.

At first glance, this girl in her early twenties is not considered extremely beautiful, and upon closer inspection, she is a level below Hong Kong students. However, when she is quiet, her face is like that of a peaceful and prosperous nation, and when she smiles or frowns, she exudes charm and allure, as if she has instantly elevated her beauty to a higher level, making people feel that she is a top-tier beauty.

Wearing a blue top and loose overalls, she couldn't hide her top-notch figure. She had wine glass legs, slender calves, and plump thighs. The roundness of her plump thighs stretched the loose overalls to a fuller, tighter shape, outlining a rounded and firm silhouette.

The roundness beneath that slender waist is a powerful weapon that can extinguish a man's heroic spirit and grind a stubborn rock into soy milk.
