Then Chen Fan studied the map for a while.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Finally, he chose Dingfuzhuang West Village No. 1 Courtyard as the target for purchasing a house.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This location wasn't particularly prosperous, but it was only about 500-600 meters away from the Communication University.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The community was built in 1998, located between the 5th and 6th Ring Roads, with housing prices at only around 2,000 yuan per square meter.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In 2004, the housing prices in Haidian District were only about 5,000 yuan, Chaoyang District was 4,600 yuan, and even Sanlitun was only 5,500 yuan on average.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At this price, what else was there to say? What's the difference from getting it for free?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Fan decisively chose a two-bedroom apartment, securing it for 250,000 yuan. The owner even threw in a storage room and a parking space.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Paying the deposit, signing the purchase contract, and then agreeing with the owner to go to the Housing Administration Bureau in a few days to sign the transfer procedures.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The entire process was completed in less than an hour.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For Chen Fan, who currently had several hundred million in cash flow, it was indeed not worth mentioning.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, over the next two days, Chen Fan fully proved that buying a house was no different from buying vegetables.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The house in Dingfuzhuang was a bit out of the way, and the future appreciation potential wasn't very high, but Chen Fan didn't care.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The reason he bought this house was for his girlfriend, Su Ruochu.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He had visited Su Ruochu's dormitory, and the space was really too small.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Ruochu still had to study there for three years, so buying a house and giving it to her, even if she didn't live there often, coming to relax for a couple of days occasionally would make it worthwhile.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Of course, in the future, when Chen Fan often came to see his wife, it would also serve as a place to stay.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After buying this house, Chen Fan took out the Beijing map and continued his house-hunting journey.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, this time he didn't focus on properties outside the 5th Ring Road, he only looked at houses inside the 4th Ring Road.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>To save time, Chen Fan directly had Feng Pojun take him to a real estate agency, found an agent, and had them drive him around Beijing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After all, he was an outsider, and even with two lifetimes of experience, his understanding of Beijing's housing market wasn't as good as a professional agent's.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At first, seeing that Chen Fan was from out of town and so young, the female agent couldn't quite gauge him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But after Chen Fan specifically requested to only look at large flats and small villas, this agent with beautiful long legs had a sudden realization, thinking she might have struck gold.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sure enough, in one afternoon, she took Chen Fan to tour four communities.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At the fourth community, Chen Fan took a liking to one of the large flat villas.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He reached out with a pen and circled it on the brochure.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I'll take this one.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The female agent was visibly stunned.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Sir... you mean you want to buy this house?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Yes.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Are you... planning to get a mortgage or pay in full?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Fan asked, \"If I pay in full, will the procedures be faster?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The female agent nodded, \"A bit faster, but the difference isn't particularly significant.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Fan suddenly changed his mind.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Then let's go with a mortgage. This is the one.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He had cash flow in hand, there was no need to pay in full. He could invest the saved money in the stock market or other businesses.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The female agent's heart skipped a beat.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She had guessed she was going to get lucky today, but she didn't expect such a big windfall.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She knew that if Chen Fan bought this house, the commission she would receive was no small sum.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Fan thought for a moment and asked again, \"I can't stay in Beijing all the time. If there are procedures to be handled, can I entrust your agency to handle them?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The female agent nodded excitedly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Of course, no problem.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Alright then. I have no other questions. We can go pay the deposit now.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Certainly, sir. Please follow me.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The female agent's voice was almost floating with excitement.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At first, she saw Chen Fan dressed ordinarily, looking unremarkable.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But who would have thought, he casually bought a flat villa.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The whole process took less than an hour.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This is what you call a successful person, this is exactly what a successful person is like.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Looking at Chen Fan again, she found him increasingly handsome and attractive.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She wondered if this handsome guy had a girlfriend.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even if he had a girlfriend, it wouldn't matter. He's so young, at the peak of his vigor, surely having a mistress on the side shouldn't be a problem, right?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Damn, what am I thinking?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After completing the procedures, the female agent's attitude towards Chen Fan became increasingly respectful, even her tone of voice became more coquettish.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Unfortunately, Chen Fan only had eyes for the houses and didn't give her a second glance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the evening, when dining with Su Ruochu, Chen Fan didn't tell her about buying the house.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He planned to give her a surprise in a few days when all the procedures were completed and he got the keys.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The next day, Su Ruochu returned to school for classes from the hotel, and Chen Fan continued house hunting with that female agent.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He was returning to Yunhai tomorrow, so Chen Fan's house-viewing pace noticeably quickened.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>By the end of the day, Chen Fan had bought another 6 villas and 8 apartments, all located between the 3rd and 2nd Ring Roads.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The female agent was completely stunned.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She had never seen someone buy houses like they were shopping at a vegetable market.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She had heard senior colleagues talk about coal bosses from the Northwest buying houses by the block, but those were all 40-50 year old pot-bellied old men.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This was the first time she had seen a young man buy houses like this.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the end, the female agent's eyes were practically shooting stars when looking at Chen Fan.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Now, forget about being kept as a mistress, if Chen Fan invited her back to the hotel tonight and something happened, she felt she definitely wouldn't refuse.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Unfortunately, even on the way back after viewing the houses, Chen Fan's attitude towards her remained strictly professional.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This left the female agent quite disappointed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She had wasted two hours carefully applying makeup today.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sitting in the car, Chen Fan lowered his head to look at the map.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>To be honest, all these villas and houses he bought today weren't for living in.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His point in buying houses was just one thing: location.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As long as the location was good and had potential for appreciation in the future, he would buy it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Buy them and hold onto them for ten or twenty years, then sell them off and just wait to count the money.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, Chen Fan didn't just buy indiscriminately. In his view, buying a dozen or so properties was enough.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There was no need to invest all his money into it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Especially since before coming, he had planned to buy a siheyuan courtyard house, but now thinking about it, there was no need at all.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With the money for buying a siheyuan, he could directly invest in the stock market or invest in internet companies, which would also bring huge profits, and in less time.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"That should be enough.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Fan muttered softly, raising his hand to put away the map in his hand.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His gaze swept out the car window.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Looking at the somewhat familiar yet strange street scene before him, Chen Fan suddenly asked casually.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What was that we just passed...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The female agent in the back seat finally had a chance to speak.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Sir, what we just passed was the Beiding Niangniang Temple. It's a great place in our Beijing. Legend has it that this temple is very efficacious.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Fan suddenly froze.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Old Feng, turn back. I suddenly remembered, let's go look at the houses near here again.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Feng Pojun didn't say a word, immediately making a U-turn at the next intersection.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The female agent immediately got excited, chattering away about the legend of the Niangniang Temple to Chen Fan.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Little did she know that Chen Fan had absolutely no interest in this Niangniang Temple.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The reason he was so sensitive was because he remembered.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This area near the Niangniang Temple would all be demolished in the future.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And in a few years, the most famous building standing here would be called: the Bird's Nest!\u003C\u002Fp>",1505,"2026-06-05T15:06:59.735Z",1,"novelbin.me","f11ee91cb14c1d2dc9fc6aa462b51102ff9f4e88fa19d5177544cc001871d773","reborn-in-2000-starting-from-pursuing-the-pure-h-chapter-592","reborn-in-2000-starting-from-pursuing-the-pure-h-chapter-590",761,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Freborn-in-2000-starting-from-pursuing-the-pure-h-cover.jpg"]
