Who gets reborn with a daughter?

"There are other neighborhoods nearby, but they're definitely not as good as this one. There are also new developments planned, but those are all off-plan and might not be ready until you graduate, so there's no point in buying them."

Luo Ting and Lao Fang have a good relationship now, and he speaks the truth.

"Let's take a look at the other apartments in this complex first."

Fang Chusheng knew that Tianjingyuan Community was the best community in the area.

The surrounding neighborhoods are all old and dilapidated; whether for personal use or investment, none of them are as good as this one.

"OK."

Luo Ting did not refuse and showed Lao Fang and his son other houses in the community.

The other apartments all had some issues; either they were on too low a floor or too close to Building 15. The original apartment was definitely the best value for money.

After viewing the apartment, Luo Ting took out his phone and said, "I need to take this call."

Old Fang nodded, and after watching Luo Ting leave, he asked his son, "Son, what's wrong with this house?"

"I have no complaints about the house itself."

Fang Chusheng was torn between the chaotic situation and the inevitable conflict.

"Because it's a second-hand apartment? Has a girl lived there before?"

Old Fang continued to ask.

"That's alright, let me think about it."

Fang Chusheng didn't really care that the house had been occupied by a girl, but the sheets and stuff would definitely have to be changed anyway.

Building 5 is closer to the South Gate, so Xiaobai usually comes through the South Gate.

Lingjie lives in Building 15, which is close to the North Gate. Since Lingjie doesn't usually go out much, the chances of running into her are probably not very high.

After a moment's thought, Fang Chusheng looked at his father and said, "Let's go with that one, Dad. How much does that apartment cost now?"

"About two million."

Old Fang said casually.

Fang Chusheng knew that the average house price in the vicinity was around 15,000 to 16,000 yuan per square meter. This community was close to the subway and the university town, so the price was indeed cheap.

"Dad, how much savings do we have?"

He was curious about the family's savings. In his previous life, when he wanted to buy a house, Lao Fang had already gone bankrupt. The family had only saved about a million yuan from that shop. Keep in mind that it was 2019, and money was worthless then.

"I'll have about a million left after buying this house. I don't know about your mother's side of the story."

Although Lao Fang's company is on a downward trend, it has money in its accounts. If he sells the company, it will be enough for his family of three to enjoy life.

"My family is so rich, why didn't they buy me a computer back in high school?"

Fang Chusheng couldn't help but complain.

"Your mother says that sons should be raised frugally and daughters should be raised lavishly, because she's afraid you won't take your studies seriously."

Old Fang spoke calmly.

"..."

Fang Chusheng hesitated, realizing that this was indeed something his mother would do.

"Then we'll definitely buy this set."

The old man confirmed with his son.

"Okay, this is the one."

Fang Chusheng nodded. Although he had to be wary of dangerous situations while living here, he had no choice but to buy it for the sake of the future.

Next, Lao Fang approached Luo Ting, offered him a cigarette, and the two began discussing the details of buying a house.

A few minutes later, Luo Ting left, and Lao Fang found his son and said, "Send me your ID card. You don't need to go to sign the contract. I'll give you the keys after the transfer of ownership."

"Let's put the house in your name or Mom's name."

Fang Chusheng originally thought that his parents would only pay the down payment, and that it would be fine to put the mortgage in his name.

He's paying in full now, so he thinks it's better to put his parents' names on the deed because there are no social security or household registration requirements for buying a house this year.

In addition, he didn't want to have too much pressure on himself, which of course didn't refer to money, but rather his parents' expectations.

This is like your parents preparing everything for you, and if you don't meet their expectations, it will make them sad.

Old Fang was stunned and asked, "Didn't you want to buy a house?"

"I want to buy the house, but I don't care about the name. I'm confident I can buy it myself," Fang Chusheng said. He had plenty of money in his wallet, so buying it later wouldn't be a problem. "By the way, Mom, aren't you going to come and see this house?"

Old Fang didn't expect his son to be so confident, so he didn't insist anymore. "Your mother trusts me and said there's no need to look at it."

He had talked to Liu Minghui about looking at houses, but Liu Minghui thought it was too much trouble and didn't want to close her family's shop.

"All right."

Fang Chusheng didn't press the matter; he didn't intend to get involved in the affairs of an old married couple.

The house has been finalized, and he doesn't need to worry about the rest of the procedures. If all goes well, the transfer of ownership and move-in can be completed in about a week.

As he left the Tianjingyuan residential complex, he asked his father, "Dad, have you considered starting another business?"

Why are you asking this?

Fang Tianmiao was very curious, as his son had brought up the matter of changing lines quite a few times recently.

"I just feel that if everyone owns a house in the future, then houses will definitely not be able to sell. I see that online shopping is popular now, so the market in this area must be very good."

Fang Chusheng said casually.

"Many people are doing e-commerce these days, but most of them are only making small money. It's not easy to make big money."

Lao Fang knew that the real estate industry was about to embark on a new phase, having researched other sectors of the market.

"I'm not talking about being a merchant, I'm talking about being a platform."

Fang Chusheng continued.

"Build a platform? Like Taobao or JD.com?"

Old Fang was stunned; he hadn't expected his son to have such a big appetite.

He hadn't considered the platform. Building a platform involves too many things; money alone isn't enough, you also need connections.

There are actually quite a few e-commerce platforms on the market, but only a few are widely known.

"Yes, but these platforms usually don't offer discounts, and merchants are unwilling to lower prices. It would be great if there were platforms that specialize in group-buying discounts, so that merchants could boost sales, buyers could purchase at lower prices, and group buying could also bring traffic to the platform."

Fang Chusheng shared his thoughts.

E-commerce group buying has existed for a long time, but most of it is just a promotional activity organized by merchants.

"Group buying?"

Old Fang stroked his chin, deep in thought.

There are also group buying deals in the real estate sector. Some properties in less desirable locations will offer group buying discounts to boost sales.

"Yes, there's a bubble tea shop near my school that's running a group-buying promotion. Not many people used to buy from that shop, but now a lot of people are buying from them."

Fang Chusheng did not mention what he had done in the past month.

"Son, where did you get these ideas from?"

Old Fang suddenly felt that his son had become more "sensible".

"Online, the Internet is so convenient now, you can look up a lot of things. Dad, you should go online more often. The future is the Internet era. My roommates don't go to restaurants anymore, they just order takeout from online platforms. Actually, Mom's shop can also do takeout. People of my generation are very lazy, we will stay home as much as possible."

Fang Chusheng didn't mention rebirth, but instead tried to persuade him by talking about things around him.

"That's good, son. I'll consider what you've said."

Lao Fang had always wanted to change careers, and he thought his son was right; group-buying platforms were indeed a viable option.

Fang Chusheng had class in the afternoon, so after chatting with his father for a while, he went to the teaching building for class.

Lao Fang didn't rush back. He strolled around the school area and soon noticed a milk tea shop called "Hua Xiang Li".

"Is this the bubble tea shop my son was talking about?"

He saw the group-buying promotion banner at the entrance of Huaxiangli, and there were indeed quite a few students queuing up outside.
