"Sure, Mr. Ge, nice to meet you," Lin Xiao said with a smile, not minding Ge Jian's tone.
Feeling that his behavior was a bit abrupt, Ge Jian adjusted himself, got up, and walked over to Lin Xiao, extending his right hand and said, "Hello, Lin Xiao, I'm Ge Jian. Seeing you makes me realize the meaning of the phrase 'young and talented.'"
Lin Xiao neither agreed nor disagreed; this was society, where relationships only existed with mutual benefits. Since he couldn't change others, he would stick to his principles.
Lin Xiao extended his hand and shook Ge Jian's, replying, "Hehe~ Mr. Ge, you flatter me. I'm just muddling through. I'm the one troubling you, Mr. Ge! You are the true dragon among men."
"Haha~ You flatter me. At your age, I was still meticulously budgeting my life," Ge Jian laughed heartily.
Politeness was necessary; it was a way for people to get to know each other.
Seeing that the time was right, Ge Jian got to the point and took out the documents for four or five houses for Lin Xiao to look at.
"These are the houses that meet your requirements. Take a look at the documents first, and then we'll go to the site together," Ge Jian said, taking the matter entrusted by Ye Ding very seriously.
Lin Xiao took the documents from Ge Jian and read them carefully.
The first document described a three-story building in the city center, with the ground floor being a storefront. However, the price was too high, making it unsuitable for him, so he set it aside.
Seeing that Lin Xiao glanced at the first document and put it aside, Ge Jian understood. Reading people's expressions was a skill everyone had, and the more elite a person was, the better they were at it.
He continued with the second document, which was a house in the suburbs of H City, about 500 square meters, a mini-villa with a front yard, priced at 4.5 million yuan. Although this price was acceptable to Lin Xiao, he decided to keep it on hold for now.
The third document was similar to the second, but 100 square meters larger and 1 million yuan more expensive. He set it aside and continued to the last document.
This was a place a bit further from H City, near the ancient town of Xitang, a farm covering about 10 acres, including a mountain behind it, all for 5.6 million yuan. Given the size and price, the value was quite good, but he still needed to see it in person to decide.
After reading all the documents, Lin Xiao looked up at Ge Jian and said, "Mr. Ge, I have a general idea. The first one is completely unsuitable for me, so we don't need to look at it. The second and third are similar but still not quite what I'm looking for. The last one meets all my requirements. Let's go see it in person."
"Alright, since Mr. Lin has decided, let's go directly to the location of the fourth document," Ge Jian said with a smile, seeing that Lin Xiao had chosen the fourth one.
Ge Jian accompanied Lin Xiao, and they drove to their destination in Ge Jian's car.
After an hour's drive, Lin Xiao and Ge Jian finally arrived at the farm.
The farm was close to a mountain, in a remote area, with a small village a few kilometers away. A two-meter-high earthen wall surrounded the farm in a square shape.
A spirited and well-dressed woman stood outside the farm to welcome Lin Xiao and his group.
"Let me introduce you, this is the seller of the farm," Ge Jian introduced the woman to Lin Xiao.
Then he pointed to Lin Xiao and said, "This gentleman is very interested in the farm. If it suits him, he will pay immediately."
"Sure, my name is Zhang Ya. This farm belonged to my grandfather, but he passed away, and now no one is managing it. My husband and I are moving abroad, so we are selling it at a lower price," Zhang Ya said as she led Lin Xiao around.
'Click'
Zhang Ya unlocked the old wooden door with a key, pushed it open, and stepped into the farm.
"Since my grandfather passed away, almost no one has come to this farm. It's too remote, and it's inconvenient to travel here," Zhang Ya continued.
Inside, the long-term vacancy was evident, with wild grass growing almost as tall as a person. After looking around the yard, Zhang Ya led Lin Xiao to the house.
Lin Xiao didn't have many requirements for the house; he might need to demolish and rebuild it. As long as the land was large enough and comfortable to live in, that was fine.
After inspecting the house, Zhang Ya led Lin Xiao to walk around the 10 acres of land and the mountain.
Lin Xiao was quite satisfied with the farm. With recent events, he needed a place to rest and recuperate. This place, with only a small village nearby and minimal human traffic, was perfect for keeping secrets.
Having already considered everything on the way, Lin Xiao, after seeing everything, directly said to Zhang Ya, "Miss Zhang, I'm very satisfied with this farm. The price is reasonable. Let's get to the point; I'll take it."
Hearing this, Zhang Ya smiled, "Alright, since Mr. Lin is interested in the farm, if there are no other issues, let's sign the contract."
The two called Ge Jian to witness the signing of the contract. Lin Xiao transferred 6.5 million yuan to Zhang Ya's account via his phone, completing the purchase efficiently.
All three were satisfied. Zhang Ya was happy because the farm had been on the market for two years and was finally sold. Lin Xiao was happy because the place met his needs. Ge Jian was happy because he received a commission and had completed the task given by Ye Ding.
"Miss Zhang, goodbye," Lin Xiao said, standing up and extending his hand to Zhang Ya after signing the contract.
Zhang Ya extended her hand and shook Lin Xiao's lightly, saying, "Please take good care of this farm. Thank you."
Turning to Ge Jian, she said, "Thank you, Mr. Ge, for your help today. If I need anything in the future, I'll let you know."
"Mr. Lin, you're too kind. You are a distinguished guest, and I've also received the commission. It's a win-win situation, isn't it?" Ge Jian joked with Lin Xiao.
"Transferring the title to your name might take about a week, which is the fastest we can do. You know how some departments in the country work," Ge Jian said seriously to Lin Xiao.
"You just wait for the land and property certificates. We'll handle the rest. That's part of our after-sales service," Ge Jian continued.
Ge Jian was right; this was part of the after-sales service, but it required additional payment. Because of his relationship with Ye Ding, Ge Jian offered it for free to Lin Xiao, saving him the trouble of running around.
