“If everything goes well, we can settle all the necessary procedures for this house in a week.”

Upon thinking of closing a transaction worth tens of millions in a week, the intermediary’s face flushed a healthy red.

“Selling for eighteen million yuan!” Fang Shiyou gritted his teeth and quoted a price. If it was destined that he couldn’t retain this house, then the only thing he could do now was to try and sell this house at a higher price so that he would have more money on hand then.

Fang Shiyou had already made the calculations. Although his salary wasn’t as high as Xu Shengnan’s, he had good benefits and there was a central provident fund. If this house could be sold for eighteen million yuan, he could still get 2.7 million yuan for his share of fifteen percent. Moreover, he had been contributing to the central provident fund for over ten years now.

After putting the money together, he could still buy a small house within the 5th Ring Road. He had already given up buying a house within 3rd Ring Road. It wasn’t that he couldn’t afford the down payment. It was that the subsequent payments were too difficult to handle. His salary wasn’t as high as Xu Shengnan’s. Otherwise, he could have bought a house that was approximately ninety square meters within 3rd Ring Road.

Fang Shiyou wasn’t a hard-working person. Otherwise, Xu Shengnan wouldn’t have been the only one paying for this house’s mortgage. Instead of buying a house of ninety square meters within 3rd Ring Road and making his life tougher in the future, he would rather buy a house of a hundred square meters within 5th Ring Road.

Furthermore, the houses within 5th Ring Road weren’t cheap. Three or four million yuan could only pay for half of the house. He still had to take up a house loan of three million yuan. Once he thought of this figure, Fang Shiyou felt a headache. This meant that he could no longer spend money so casually like he used to. Once there were opportunities, his mother and his true love would have to go out and work as well.

Otherwise, if he was the only one paying the mortgage, even if his salary had increased, he would still have to pay the mortgage for at least ten years, right? If all his salary was used to pay for the mortgage, where would the living expenses for their family of four come from? Of course, he had to rely on his mother and his true love to earn some money so that they could continue leading their lives.

Once he thought of these money issues, Fang Shiyou had the urge to die.

Perhaps, he had been pampered by Xu Shengnan in the past. Xu Shengnan had paid for everything, including the mortgage, back then. Not only did she bear all the family’s expenses, but she had also helped Fang Shiyou arrange everything properly. When Fang Shiyou was enjoying his blessings, he only remembered Xu Shengnan’s domineering attitude and had completely forgotten how considerate she was to him. action

After leaving Xu Shengnan, Fang Shiyou had to rely on himself to settle and arrange everything. Even at the moment of receiving the divorce certificate, Fang Shiyou didn’t have any thoughts of regrets. Instead, when he thought of how he was going to pay the mortgage in the future and how tough his life was going to be, he started to look at Xu Shengnan differently. “Shengnan...”

Xu Shengnan was so frightened by Fang Shiyou’s tone that she shivered. In the past, Fang Shiyou had addressed Xu Shengnan in such a manner before. Back then, Xu Shengnan felt that she was blessed to have a husband who understood her well. Others felt that she was too domineering and would make men feel inferior. However, Fang Shiyou didn’t feel that way. Instead, he felt that it was good for her to be like this and would always call her name gently.

Now, Xu Shengnan knew that the happiness she once had was fake. After hearing Fang Shiyou addressing her in such a manner, Xu Shengnan had the urge to wash her ears. “Eighteen million yuan? Fang Shiyou, do you think that your house has particularly good Feng Shui that it has to be three million more expensive than others? Do you think that everyone’s a fool?”

Upon hearing this price, it was clear that he wasn’t sincere in selling. She had heard before that houses could be a few hundred thousand or one million yuan more expensive, but not three million yuan. Furthermore, the few hundred thousand or one million yuan was just part of the bargaining price range.

“Not bad...” The intermediary looked embarrassed. The couple came to sell their house together but their tones were harsh. It was clear that they were not on good terms. It was obvious this couple was divorced and was selling their house to split the money accordingly. It wasn’t the first time that the intermediary had seen such an example. “I’m guessing this sir here is quoting eighteen million yuan because he heard the contents of my phone conversation just now, right? The buyer wants a house that costs lower than twenty million yuan. However, no one is a fool. The house must be priced accordingly. At this moment, it’s not cheap or expensive to quote your house at fifteen million yuan. However, it’s too overboard to quote it at eighteen million yuan.”

The intermediary wanted to earn more commission as well. However, the problem was that transactions normally wouldn’t be successful with such ridiculous prices quoted. Which buyer wouldn’t want a more realistic price?

“If you insist on eighteen million yuan, I can only say that the buyer on the call just now isn’t suitable for your house. You can’t rush when selling a house. If you’re not in a rush, you can leave your house’s information with me first. Perhaps, there would be someone who particularly likes your house in the future and wouldn’t mind forking out such a price to buy it.”

Although the intermediary had said these words, he was clear that there wasn’t a high possibility to sell it out at this price, unless housing prices in the capital rose again within the next couple of months.

“We are in a hurry. We’re not selling it at eighteen million yuan. Our asking price is fifteen million yuan. The buyer isn’t allowed to bargain and quote a second price.” Xu Shengnan owned a higher percentage of the house. How would she let Fang Shiyou make the call? “Fang Shiyou, even if you’re asking for thirty million yuan, you would, at most, obtain 450,000 yuan. However, if you want to buy a house, the latter wouldn’t help you much either. I’ve said before that I don’t want to contact you much again. It’s rare that there’s a ready buyer now. Let’s split ways early then!”

Fang Shiyou’s face darkened and he squeezed these words out. “Deal. Fifteen million yuan then. Please help us to make the contact.”

After the negotiations, the intermediary smiled. The price of fifteen million yuan was quite sincere. After contacting the buyer, the buyer immediately agreed and even asked the intermediary to keep the couple there as he was coming over with the money to buy the house now. The buyer said that he knew someone in the unit and had all the money ready. He could even obtain the property certificate today.

The more the intermediary listened, the happier he was. After being in the job for so long, he had never had a day as smooth as today. He spent only half a day for a transaction worth fifteen million yuan.
