Zhou Li'an felt like he was battling with the air.
But in fact, he didn't relax completely until he returned home and closed the door.
A backpack of banknotes was dumped on the coffee table in the living room.
My heart is burning.
It made him blush.
[Dear, you can deposit and pay in advance, and system transactions can be cleared tax-free. 】
Zhou Li'an was tempted: "Can I pay in installments? Let me use the official version of the system first?"
【Dear, you think too much.】
"You think too much."
The money he just received is not yet warm, can he hand it over to the system?
Activating the official system is a top priority, but before he saves enough money, it is good to keep some cash on hand, not to mention that he still needs to spend money.
move place.
The apartment building where I live now has too little privacy, and the neighbors are full of people. The system travels in and out, and occasionally it has to carry a large amount of materials. For example, when I carried 120kg of salt and took the elevator the day before yesterday, I was looked at suspiciously by the neighbors in the building for a long time.
The end of tribal trade will soon bring in a lot of cash.
Save part of it for system activation, and use the other part to start making some preparations.
Weapons and ammunition, medical supplies, mining detection equipment, diesel, generator sets, and supplies that the tribe may need.
There is nothing wrong with preparing in advance.
Of course, if you want to rely on time-travel gods to use modern materials to develop North America, the speed is too slow. The development of science and technology takes time. Even if Zhou Li'an lives his life, it will be difficult to see the 'world famous paintings' that burned the Seven Kingdoms.
In the end, it still depends on how powerful the black technology of the system can be.
After resting at home for a while and calming down, Zhou Li'an called the real estate agent to make an appointment to view the house.
The selected requirements are nothing more than a few points: cheap, high privacy, single-family house without neighbors, and it would be better if it can have a larger garage, warehouse, basement, etc.
It will be convenient for him to travel through the gods in the future and carry a large amount of equipment and supplies.
Real estate agents are no stranger to all kinds of bizarre requests from their clients.
I called back half an hour later and said that I had sent some information to Zhou Li'an's mailbox.
The three single-family villas are over 50 years old and are all located in relatively remote communities. They all meet the basic requirements, but his eyes fell on the last one...
Farms for sale in suburban towns.
One hundred hectares of land, including a natural mountain forest land, with an actual usable area of only 25 hectares, was originally used to raise beef cattle.
The warehouse is available.
The residence is a three-story villa built in 1964, but it was renovated five years ago. There are only other residents two kilometers away, so it is very remote and suits my needs.
There isn't much specific information, it's probably just that the real estate agent wanted to try his luck.
The package price is 1.08 million knives.
This price is enough to scare off most people. Even successful people with free wealth will not buy a farm in Oregon unless the overall quality of the farm is excellent and the natural environment is beautiful.
However, the climate in Oregon is really not very good. After October, there is a long rainy season, and when the weather gets colder, it becomes the snow season. Residential areas in non-urban areas often experience power outages.
The hospital has been working for two years, and countless patients have been injured due to natural disasters during the rainy and snowy season.
The suburban farm in the picture is all earthy yellow, with no beautiful flowers or green space. There is only a shallow stream under the mountain forest, and the water is not even very clear.
"Tsk, my heart is so excited."
Zhou Li'an took a sip of water, put down the cup, picked up the phone and called the real estate agent: "Does that farm support installment payment? What is the down payment ratio?"
Counting the $130,000 earned yesterday and today, Zhou Li'an's savings are between $190,000 and less than $200,000.
It costs 1 million more to activate the system.
A farm is another million.
Zhou Li'an felt that he was crazy.
But it was free to ask, and he couldn't afford it now. The worst he could do was wait until the system was activated before buying it. In a month at most, he was confident of becoming a serious millionaire.
The real estate agent also didn't expect that Zhou Li'an would actually fall in love with the farm, and he suddenly became more enthusiastic: "The down payment ratio depends on the bank's credit score. A minimum down payment of 20% can be made if it is above 725. Of course, proof of the source of income from the company's employment is required..."
Zhou Li'an is not worried about the receipts proving the source of income.
The efficiency of work in the United States is ridiculously poor, and he did not submit his resignation application in advance. He could have made a time difference and got a 20% down payment contract.
Even if it was later discovered that he had resigned, the bank would not be able to do anything to him after the mortgage contract was reached.
Twenty percent, he still can't get it out now.
In addition, there is another point: "I am a permanent resident with a green card, not a citizen."
"Oh, that's right." The real estate agent hesitated, then said he would wait to check some information, and finally changed his mind: "If you are a green card resident, you can only make a minimum down payment of 30%."
Zhou Li'an is not surprised. Not every country is so friendly to foreigners.
“Is the owner anxious to sell?”
The real estate agent paused and said: "I'm not in a hurry, but there are many people interested in this farm because the owner invested a lot in renovating the house five years ago and also purchased a diesel generator in the basement to avoid power outages during rain and snow seasons.
The only worry is basically the check-in situation.”
Many people like it? You sent it to me for viewing?
Go ahead and fool the devil.
Zhou Li'an smiled and said: "I don't have that much money recently. I may talk to you next month. Of course, the premise is that I don't find a better house, so be it."
The real estate agent felt helpless, and even though he boasted about how valuable the real estate was, Zhou Li'an just had no money.
But when he said he could take Zhou Li'an to see it on site, he agreed.
"I'm always available."
"How about now?"
Zhou Li'an really wanted to tell him, my friend, you are too high-minded, and this is not how you play sales.
"Can."
I went downstairs and drove off, then transferred to his car at an agency.
Zhou Li'an met a young man named Nick, who looked like he was in his early twenties. The sun was shining brightly, especially his dark face with white teeth, which was very dazzling.
It's no wonder that he is not skilled in business.
Along the way, I listened to Nick introduce the advantages of the property. It took more than 40 minutes to arrive at the farm. There was a 'For Sale' sign at the door, and the signboard behind the sign read 'Hood Farm'.
"It smells so strong." After getting off the car, Zhou Li'an rubbed his nose and saw the residual smell of cow dung.
Nick said sheepishly: "The beef cattle were just taken away last week, and they still need to be deodorized. But Zhou, you bought the farm and didn't plan to continue raising cattle, right? That won't be your worry. You can make this land yours."
Make your world what you want it to be."
My world is not here.
The two first looked at the warehouse and cowshed, and then went to the foot of the hill not far away. In the stream, they could still vaguely see the crayfish that came out in early summer.
Finally, I took the key and entered the door.
Not long after the owner moved out, except for personal belongings and old-fashioned furniture, Nick said that the owner had made a fortune. After moving to the new farm, the whole house was replaced with new ones. Zhou Li'an bought it and moved in. It was a great deal.
The living atmosphere in the house is rich.
There is an oven with integrated stove that is twenty years older than him, 1980s-style furniture, sofas, curtains, and there are still many cute decorations left in the children's room upstairs.
"Zhou, are you married? If you have children in the future, they will definitely like this place."
Not only was I married, I was also divorced.
child?
My child will inherit the throne in the future. Can he live in this miserable place?
Going downstairs, Zhou Li'an showed him his cards: "Nick, to be honest, I am quite satisfied here, but as I told you on the phone, I don't have that much money on hand now. We will talk about it next month. Thank you for today
entertain."
Nick is very anxious. He has just joined the job and hopes to get a business. The young man is full of vigor and will to fight——
"Zhou, how about this? I'll talk to the owner and see if there's any compromise. But the house price can't go any lower. You know... this is a 100-hectare farm."
"Compromise?" Zhou Li'an looked at him doubtfully.
Nick said: "For example, if you really want to buy, you can pay a deposit first and move in. Then we will sign a house purchase contract and set a contract performance date. When the contract takes effect next month, I will help you apply for a 30% down payment to complete the final transaction.
"
Zhou Li'an smiled: "How much is the deposit?"
"Fifty thousand...oh, no, how about thirty thousand? It will be charged at 10% of the down payment. Of course, you have to know that if you breach the contract, the deposit will not be refunded, and you will also have to pay a liquidated damages."
Nick looked at him expectantly.
Zhou Li'an nodded, making Nick mistakenly think that the deal was done, but in fact it was——
"The final transaction price is 1 million. I agree to your compromise plan, otherwise we will wait until next month to discuss it."
"Oh, hell... I mean, that's not possible. That's an $80,000 difference."
"Then see you next month, I'm serious."
Nick was dejected and lost his previous enthusiasm on the way back.
Zhou Li'an didn't take it seriously and drove away when he arrived in the city.
However, by around 8pm.
Nick called again.
Before the call was connected, Zhou Li'an laughed.
Nick said: "One million is settled. You can sign the contract tomorrow, but only tomorrow. This is the owner's request. This is the final discount that I worked hard to get. I lost a lot of commissions for this. Oh my god...I
I regret helping you."
"Regret? Or forget it?"
"Oh, no, no, no, I mean... I'm honored, Zhou, please don't bully me, okay? I think you've seen it, I'm just a novice."
"See you tomorrow, at two o'clock in the afternoon."
"Awesome, thank you for your generosity, Zhou, you are a good person."
