Chapter 14 - The sensation of selling a house

Time moved quickly and soon it was evening.

At 5 pm, Zhang Han received a call from Liu Meng.

“Mr Zhang, I have a lead on the matter,” Liu Meng said.

“What’s the situation?” Zhang Han raised his eyebrows. He was surprised that there was already a lead. So this Liu Meng actually had some connections within the Lands Department.

“Let me speak about the conditions first, and you see if you can accept it or not. If you can accept it, I will tell you about the matter in detail.”

“Okay.”

Liu Meng went straight to the point and said, “First, you can only rent the mountain for one to three years, and most likely during the third year, the mountain will be expropriated. When that time comes, you will have to unconditionally comply with everything concerning Crescent Mountain. Furthermore, there are also a lot of restrictions of what you can and can’t do on Crescent Mountain even after you rent Crescent Mountain. I will not speak about those restrictions just yet. As for the cost of renting the mountain, it would normally be at least 20 million yuan per year. However, since you are a friend of Anna, I will give you a discount. You give me 2 million yuan to bribe around the Lands Department, and I will be able to push down the rental fee of the mountain to 10 million yuan per year.”

“Ok, sounds fair.”

“Alright! Then let me tell you about the restrictions that will follow along with renting Crescent Mountain……” Liu Meng began his lengthy conversation.

Zhang Han quietly listened to Liu Meng talk. For a whole five minutes, Zhang Han listened to Liu Meng talk about the restrictions.

Basically, Zhang Han could not move anything around that was in Crescent Mountain. With the rental cost of 10 million yuan per year, the most Zhang Han could do was plant some things in the mountain and climb the mountain to go sightseeing.

After all, this was just to rent the mountain and not bidding to own the mountain. If it was bidding to own the mountain, the amount of money that would be needed would be absurdly high. It should be known that the mansions that were at Crescent Gulf were priced at 10 million yuan or above!

However, Zhang Han only lightly nodded his head and said:

“okay.”

At the same time, a faint light flickered within Zhang Han’s eyes.

Not able to move anything? Restrictions? All of these were nonsense!

Right now, because Zhang Han did not have any strength, he had to listen. If he were in the Xiantian Realm, he would just occupy the mountain with force!

For now, he had to be honest and well-behaved. Silently becoming rich was the true way of the king!

With regards to silently becoming rich, Zhang Han knew his path. Back when he had entered the Divine World, he had searched for treasures for 500 years. Before he had reached the Tribulation Realm, no one knew just who Hanyang Immortal Monarch was. But when he reached the peak of Tribulation Realm, after only a few years, the name of Hanyang Immortal Monarch had resonated throughout many worlds!

Back to the topic at hand. Hearing that Zhang Han was okay with it, Liu Meng became delighted and said:

“You can just transfer the 2 million yuan to my bank later on then. The contract can most likely be signed tomorrow.”

Liu Meng truly needed the 2million yuan to bribe around the department. However, after he finished bribing, he would still have 20% to keep for himself.

“Tomorrow is not possible. I still have things to do. How about this? Today is Monday, I will contact you again before Friday arrives,” Zhang Han said.

“Alright then. I will wait for you.” Liu Meng grew somewhat disappointed. After hanging up the phone, Liu Meng felt that Zhang Han was most likely not intending to rent the mountain. After all, with those restrictions, it was no different from not renting the mountain.

As for Zhang Han, the reason he didn’t sign the contract tomorrow was that……he had no money!

Right now, he truly had no money. Currently, he only had 1.6 million in his bank.

Zhang Han thought of a plan.

The plan was… to sell his house!

That was right, the only asset that Zhang Han had right now was his house.

During the day, Zhang Han found out the price of houses in Milan Neighbourhood and also took photos of his house.

Seven years ago, Zhang Han spent 15 million to buy his house. Now, the price of housing in China was rising, especially in large cities

However, the Bamboo District, that Zhang Han was in, had been very developed and expensive seven years ago. Thus, the rise in the price of housing in the Bamboo District was as much as housing in the new districts.

No matter what, this house was still worth at least 20 million. Including the renovations and furniture, the total value of the house was at least around 23 million yuan.

However, just like when he was selling the Ferrari, he posted the photos of his house on a certain website for sale at 18 million yuan and emphasized that 3 million yuan worth of renovations and furniture was free.

People who worked in Xiangjiang all understood that Xiangjiang was heaven for the wealthy and hell for the average worker.

The life of workers in Xiangjiang was extremely fast. They all had the awareness of “if you don’t work hard enough, others will have the chance to surpass you”. Thus, everyone was all stressing themselves to “work harder, and harder, and harder.”

Therefore, when Zhang Han posted his house for sale, practically all of the real estate agent companies within Bamboo District found out immediately.

“Manager! Manager! Quickly come here!”

Practically everyone yelled those words the moment they discovered Zhang Han’s post.

And after all the managers also saw the post, they more or less said the same words:

“Quickly, quickly, quickly! Quickly give the person a call!”

Two minutes after Zhang Han posted his house for sale, a series of phone calls followed.

After 10 phone calls, when Zhang Han felt that there were enough people coming to see the house, he turned his phone off and removed his post.

The house became quiet again. But little did Zhang Han know, right after he turned off his phone, at Yunyin Garden, within Zi Yan’s house:

“Meng Meng, your daddy’s phone is turned off. We will give him a call tomorrow, okay?” Zi Yan put down her phone.

Meng Meng had been filled with joy, looking forward to talking with her daddy on the phone. But, in the end, a bucket of cold water was splashed on her. She now felt immensely sad.

“Smelly daddy, does he not want to talk with Meng Meng? I don’t like him already…Smelly daddy!” Meng Meng starting crying and throwing a tantrum.

Originally, Zi Yan wanted to seize the opportunity to criticize Zhang Han, to make Meng Meng not like him. But, upon seeing Meng Meng’s pitiful look, Zi Yan instead spoke well of Zhang Han:

“Your daddy is still busy. Meng Meng, your daddy also misses you too. Didn’t he say that he is going to build a utopia for you? He is most likely busy with that. The next time you meet with your daddy, he will bring you to the utopia he built for you.”

“Rea…really?” Meng Meng stopped crying and was filled with anticipation towards the utopia that her daddy spoke of.

“Really,” said Zi Yan with a serious face as she held back her laugh.

Humph! Hard-headed fellow! Lie to children?! Go on, boast some more! I want to see just how you are going to deal with the lie the next time you meet with Meng Meng!

Little did Zi Yan know, the reason Zhang Han was willing to sell the house at such a low price was because he wanted to be able to quickly rent the mountain and build a utopia for Meng Meng. The quicker he could settle down, the quicker he could be with his little daughter and properly undergo his special Zhang Family’s education.

As Hanyang Immortal Monarch’s daughter, Meng Meng was destined to anything but ordinary! Zhang Han’s first small goal was to cultivate the strongest little devil in this world!

At Zhang Han’s house, the first wave of people had arrived.

Only 10 minutes had passed.

There were three people in the first wave, a male and two females. The male was the manager of an agent company, and the females were people who independently discovered Zhang Han’s post.

One of the females who had a ponytail gasped with surprise. “Wow, it’s really the same as in the photos.”

Although the renovations and furniture were not comparable to the truly wealthy people in Xiangjiang, this place was much better than average.

“Truly not bad!” After the manager finished viewing the house, he nodded his head in satisfaction and said, “Mr Zhang, forgive me for speaking bluntly but, this house of yours should be sold for at least 22 million yuan. Are you sure that you want to sell it 18 million yuan?”

“Yep.” Zhang Han lightly nodded his head and said with a calm face, “I only want to sell the house as fast as possible.”

Upon getting Zhang Han’s confirmation, the manager became delighted:

“Mr Zhang, can I have a look at your identity card and proof of property?”

Zhang Han, who already prepared the documents earlier on, pointed towards the table in the living room and said, “They are all on the table, you can have a look.”

The manager hurriedly went over to take a look at the documents. After confirming the documents, a smear of excitement appeared on his face:

“Excuse me for a while, I have to contact my superior.”

As long as one was not a fool, they would be able to see the business opportunity of the house. If they were able to buy the house and resell it, they would be able to get a profit of more than 4milllion yuan!

The manager even wanted to immediately buy the house by himself. But unfortunately, he simply did not have 18 million yuan at all.

Not every manager was as lucky as that manager who bought the Ferrari from Zhang Han.

While the manager walked into the sub-bedroom to call his superior, another wave of people had arrived.

One of them was a 30-year-old man, while the other was a man who looked 20+ years old. When the two of them entered the house and saw that someone else had arrived earlier than them, their face grimaced as they hurriedly went up to greet Zhang Han.

And as for the first wave of people, upon seeing another bunch of people arriving, hostility flickered in their eyes. Those two people who just arrived were also “top quality”, as they relentlessly glared back at the first wave of people. In a moment, the house was overflowing with hostility.

However, the main matter was what that was important. After glaring, the two males quickly hurried to Zhang Han’s side to discuss the matter.

As with the the previous manager, after confirming Zhang Han’s documents, the two males immediately contacted their superior.

In the following hour, Zhang Han was completely busy as he dealt with the 10 waves of people who arrived in succession.

The inner quality of these people was pretty good. Before entering the house, they would first put on a new shoe cover. Thus, the house did not become dirty because of having too many people.

80% of the managers all wanted to immediately seal the deal with Zhang Han, but Zhang Han did not give them a definite answer and instead told them that he would deal with whoever who had the fastest transaction speed.

Normally, the sequence of processes of a house transaction would take at least a month. However, the boss of some agent companies possessed wide connections and was able to very quickly settle the complicated sequence of financial processes, or “cut in line”.

At 10 pm Zhang Han turned on his phone. But he did not expect that, within half an hour, he would receive three phone calls.

All of the contents of the three phone calls were practically the same: they told Zhang Han that the following afternoon, after he went to the second-hand house transaction center and signed the papers, they would transfer him the money on that day. As for the other procedures, the agent company would settle it.
