Chapter 1712

"I'm not borrowing money from you." Sun Ming rolled his eyes at his eldest sister: "Dad and Mom said they would buy me a house when I get married."

Sun Su Xiaohui blinked: "Ah, they did say that, but they have savings in their hands; buying you a house shouldn't make them eye my meager savings, right?"

Yang Yingjie casually grabbed the broom from the sofa and threw it at her daughter. Sun Su Xiaohui was prepared and caught it with her hand.

"Mom, don't resort to domestic violence at every turn; I'm a police officer, you're taking my profession too lightly."

Yang Yingjie had no choice at all when it came to her daughter: "Your brother wants to buy an elevator apartment."

Although Sun Su Xiaohui was a forensic doctor, she was also a police officer. As long as it was a criminal case involving a homicide, she was almost always involved, and her logical thinking ability was not something ordinary people could compare to.

So, Yang Yingjie only said that her younger brother wanted to buy an elevator apartment, and she understood. Now, in the entire city of Jiangzhou, only the real estate developed by Yuxi Real Estate were elevator apartments. This mother and daughter were trying to get her to find Zhou Andong to put in a word for a discount.

"Want to buy a house in Qiaonan?"

"It's not that I have to buy there." Sun Ming said: "The Yuxi Imperial Court at the old electronics factory has already been topped out. Although it hasn't started selling yet, there are already people at the sales office. I went to ask about it this morning; the base price is 920 per square meter, which is cheaper than Qiaonan."

"Base price?"

Sun Su Xiaohui pondered for a moment and understood. There were no commercial housing units now, but no matter what kind of house you bought.

Differences in layout, location, orientation, floor, corner units, etc., naturally meant different prices.

"How much is the most expensive layout?"

Sun Ming said with a grin: "Are you going to buy the most expensive one for me?"

"It's almost midnight, hurry up and go to sleep." Sun Su Xiaohui said mockingly: "Everything is in your dreams."

"Then why are you asking?"

Sun Ming curled his lips, but looking at his elder sister's expression, the shadow of his childhood immediately clouded his heart, and he said obediently.

"The most expensive one is over 1,400 per square meter; it's the top floor, a duplex from 31 to 32, totaling over 500 square meters, and it's said to have a sky garden."

Sun Su Xiaohui opened her mouth, wondering if her old classmate had gone crazy.

Over 1,400 per square meter, over 500 square meters, who could afford that?

"Is the cheapest one the first floor?"

"No!" Sun Ming shook his head: "The 1st and 2nd floors are also duplexes, only less than a hundred cheaper than the top floor duplex, with an area of about 300 square meters, and they come with a courtyard of nearly 200 square meters."

When it was originally designed, Zhou Andong's idea was very simple.

People nowadays like to live on high floors, especially in elevator buildings.

The first floor is the hardest to sell, so Zhou Andong designed it as a duplex with a courtyard.

It might not sell now, but in ten years or so, these 1-over-2 units, especially those with courtyards, would definitely be very sought after.

Especially the location of the old power plant, which is right behind the department store; once you leave the residential area, you are on Central Avenue, the most prosperous commercial street in Jiangzhou.

As it stands now, Yuxi Imperial Court is definitely in the most golden location in Jiangzhou, not to mention that the price is cheaper than Qiaonan.

Even if the price were the same, most ordinary people would definitely choose this place and not choose Qiaonan.

Of course, those with long-term vision who aren't short on money would definitely buy in Qiaonan.

As for the duplex on the top floor of over 500 square meters, Zhou Andong didn't expect to sell it, but was preparing to use it as a prize to reward the factory directors of each branch.

Sun Su Xiaohui looked at her younger brother, then at her father who was coming out of the kitchen with the heated food, and finally landed her gaze on her mother.

"You want me to ask Zhou Andong if it can be a bit cheaper, right?"

Sun Ming nodded vigorously: "Yes, you are classmates, he should be able to give you some face and make it a bit cheaper."

Yang Yingjie opened her mouth to say something, but in the end, she didn't say anything, just sighed, a look of shame appearing on her face.

Sun Jinshan put the food on the coffee table, then sat on the side and lit a cigarette: "If you find it difficult, don't call him. Your mother and I will think of another way; it's nothing more than begging more people and borrowing more money."

Sun Jinshan is the principal of Jiangzhou Experimental Junior High School, and Yang Yingjie is the director of the District Women's Federation; their family conditions are relatively quite good.

But if they want to buy an elevator apartment, even if they buy one on a worse floor, the cheapest 60-square-meter small unit would still cost over 50,000.

The family can't come up with that much money and would definitely have to borrow, but borrowing money isn't that easy, especially when borrowing 20,000 or 30,000 at once.

"Can't you get a loan?" Sun Su Xiaohui pondered for a moment: "I heard that Yuxi Real Estate has a partnership with the bank; to buy a house, you only need to pay a 30% down payment, and the rest can be a bank loan, which you can pay back monthly."

"We've asked about that too." Yang Yingjie said: "The interest on the loan is too high. According to a 20-year repayment period, by the time we finish paying it off, the interest will be more than half the price of the house."

"How about this." Sun Su Xiaohui said: "I'll call Zhou Andong tomorrow and ask him about the loan, but I won't talk to him about the discount; I can't bring myself to ask for that."

"Fine!" Sun Jinshan nodded: "You just ask about the loan. If it's suitable, we'll take the loan; if it's not suitable, your mother and I will go borrow the money."

Sun Su Xiaohui looked at the time; it was almost twelve o'clock. She glanced at the warm food on the coffee table, but she didn't want to eat at this moment.

But this was her old father's love for his daughter, so she still picked up her chopsticks and ate a few bites.

"Alright, it's so late, go to sleep. I'll brush my teeth and go to sleep too."

…………………………

Dongguan!

Zhou Andong was having breakfast in the guesthouse restaurant. The pager in the small bag carried by Huang Yali, who was sitting opposite him, started beeping.

Huang Yali put down her chopsticks, opened her bag, took out the pager, glanced at the phone number on it, and handed it to Zhou Andong.

"It's a Jiangzhou number, but it's an unfamiliar one."

Zhou Andong took it, glanced at it, put the pager on the table, ate the last crab roe bun, and then got up and walked toward the restaurant's bar counter.

"Comrade, let me borrow the phone."

"Okay!" The young girl at the bar counter hurriedly pushed the phone toward Zhou Andong.

Zhou Andong picked up the phone, glanced at the phone number on the pager, and dialed it.

Soon the other party answered, and Sun Su Xiaohui's voice came through.

"Old classmate, this is Sun Su Xiaohui. Where are you?"

Zhou Andong laughed: "I'm in Dongguan."

Sun Su Xiaohui said somewhat apologetically: "You're a very busy person; I didn't disturb you, did I?"

Zhou Andong said with dissatisfaction: "We are old classmates; you're being too formal."

Sun Su Xiaohui chuckled: "You said you would introduce a match for me; so much time has passed, why is there no news at all? Did you forget?"

Zhou Andong also laughed. He knew Sun Su Xiaohui had something to ask him, and introducing a match was just an opening. It was just that as he leaned against the bar counter, his eyes happened to see Yu Zhan, who was eating.

"I really do have a pretty good young man by my side; you two would be a very good match."
