Count of Wizards

"The seller of this house asks for 1,200 gold pounds, but I think it is negotiable. If this house is not the seller's family, if they want to pool money to buy a large manor in the countryside, it is basically as a family asset. It will be passed down from generation to generation and will not be sold!" Sensing that "Mr. Warren" was a little moved by the house, the real estate broker, Mr. Harland, announced the price of the house.

"Twelve hundred gold pounds?"

Hearing the price, Connor frowned slightly. It wasn't that he couldn't afford the price, but that the price was beyond the budget he gave Harland to the Platinum Gang. The average price per square meter is a notch more expensive than the nearby area. He likes the house very much, but the price of 1,200 gold pounds, if you can negotiate the price, it is already very good if you can erase the fraction of 200 gold pounds. Harland's expected price was two hundred gold pounds higher. If he agreed too quickly, it would be too suspicious...

"Let's look at the others!" Connor made up his mind, and said lightly, the house is here, and he definitely can't run away. Twelve hundred gold pounds, even for nobles and wealthy businessmen, are not a problem. For any price, first look at other houses by yourself, and if you are not satisfied after looking around, then come back to talk about this by yourself, and it will not be so abrupt at that time.

Seeing that Connor seemed a little dissatisfied with the price, Harland smiled slightly and said, "The agency commission of our Meilinger real estate agency company is generally 10 to 20% more expensive than that of our peers, but our company is not expensive for no reason. Yes, on the one hand, we have our own real estate resources, on the other hand..." Mr. Harland paused for a while before he emphasized his tone, and said with a deep meaning: "Our company is located in Lu Well, many big banks have their own relationships and can help customers with mortgage loans!"

He glanced at Mr. Harland in surprise. Connor really did not expect that the Meilinger Real Estate Agency, which Mr. Harland belongs to, would be so capable of handling mortgage loans. Satisfying the role of a pure resource exporter in the previous trade with the Kaman Empire, he began to upgrade his industry and seek a more upstream position in the industrial chain. The business on the west coast of the empire headed by Loen was naturally directly affected. Although the economic development is still It is growing, but the growth rate has indeed slowed down significantly, from the original growth rate of more than 5% per year to about 2% per year.

The economic growth is slowing down, and the most obvious feeling is that the income of some factories in Ruen has begun to drop sharply. Naturally, the decline in income will not be able to repay the loans owed to the bank, and about 60% of the rich businessmen who run these factories are Loans are made from houses to banks, so when factory owners can't repay the loans, the banks have a lot of mortgaged houses in their hands, so come and go, in recent years, in order to avoid risks, the major banks in Ruen have rarely He was accepting a housing mortgage loan, but this Mr. Harland said that Meilinger Real Estate Agency could help him apply for a housing mortgage loan. Obviously, their connections in the bank were very strong.

"I believe you, Mr. Warren, understand the current environment in Ruen. The conditions for housing mortgage loans are quite stringent. For example, if this house costs 1,200 gold pounds, you can loan up to 50% of the market price! Facing Connor's surprised eyes, Mr. Harland said very frankly:

After pondering for a while, Connor shook his head and said, "Let's take a look at other houses..."

"Okay, then let's go to the next house!" Mr. Harland did not have the slightest objection to Connor's final decision. After all, this is the characteristic of his business. But that's all.

After spending a full three hours, Mr. Harland brought Connor to the fourth house they looked at today.

"Mr. Warren, this house is located on Ramsey Street in the North District. Walk two streets ahead and you will find the East District, so the security is guaranteed and the traffic is very convenient. The house has two floors and a basement for a total of 200 yuan. It is 12 square meters, and there is a small garden attached to the house, and the house is surrounded by walls as high as two meters. When you close the gate, the whole house can be said to be a small manor!" Although it took Connor to look at it for so long, haha Mr. Rand's professionalism is still very good. Although his face looks tired, his voice and service attitude are still as good as ever.

"How much is it?" Mental Power looked around the house, and Connor was pleasantly surprised to find that this house, the house he was in now, was more qualified as a safe house than the first house he saw, and he couldn't help Ask for a price directly.

"The seller asks for eight hundred and fifty gold pounds!" Mr. Harland said immediately, but after he finished speaking, he hesitated in his eyes under the lens, and then added: "Although the seller wants eight hundred and fifty gold pounds, but Mr. Warren, if you really want it, I think the price can still be negotiated between you and the buyer!"

After Connor heard Mr. Harland's answer, he patted Mr. Harland on the shoulder and said, "Mr. Harland, my bottom line is seven hundred and fifty gold pounds, please go and talk to the seller for me. , in addition to the commission from Meilinger Real Estate Agency, the actual transaction price of this house is much less than 750, and I will give you an additional 50%!"

Hearing Connor's conditions as a real estate agent, Mr. Harland's somewhat tired eyes suddenly showed a gleam of light. After silently calculating how much money he could get, he nodded at Connor, He smiled and said: "Mr. Warren, thank you very much for your trust in me, I believe I will not let you down!"

After handing over the matter of buying a house to Mr. Harland, Connor took the public security vehicle. Of course, for the sake of caution, he did not directly return to his home on Rand Street in the East District, but took a public carriage in Rue After a few laps in En District, he changed back to his true face and returned to the apartment at No. 16 Land Street, East District!

He took out a bottle of gin from the wine cabinet, and found Connor who was suitable for a safe house and was in a good mood. He leaned on the sofa and drank directly from the bottle without pouring the wine into the glass.

After drinking half a bottle of gin in one gulp, a weird smile appeared on the corner of Connor's mouth, feeling the fragrance of gin in his mouth.
