Wang Gang heard that the price of the house was 1.8 million, and he was making calculations in his mind.
He earned 30,000 U.S. dollars from this purchase. Including the original capital, he had a total of about 80,000 U.S. dollars on hand.
In 2006, the U.S. dollar was still strong, and 80,000 U.S. dollars could be converted into 500,000 Chinese dollars. It shouldn’t be a big problem to make a down payment, but it mainly depends on whether Wu’s father’s bank friends are strong or not.
Next semester, Wang Gang will receive a full scholarship from the department, and his study life will basically be free of charge.
The monthly salary at the Sichuan restaurant is 5,000 US dollars, and 1,500 is given to Zhao Meilan. The remaining 3,500 US dollars can be converted into more than 23,000 Chinese dollars, so there is not much pressure to repay the loan.
The income from the purchasing agent business is much more than that of a Sichuan restaurant, so buying a house is not a heavy burden for him.
"Uncle Qian, Feifei and I really like your house, but I don't have enough money on hand at the moment, so I need to get a loan from the bank. The procedure may be a little troublesome. Can you wait?" Wang Gang tentatively asked Lao Qian.
"It doesn't matter. Based on my relationship with Lao Wu, the house will be given to you first and you can pay later." Lao Qian said:
"I mainly want to return to my hometown for retirement. Prices in Shanghai are too expensive, so my pension won't last long."
Father Wu mentioned to Wang Gang yesterday that Lao Qian's wife passed away early and they had no children, so he was thinking of selling the house and retiring to his hometown to live in a nursing home.
"Dad, Mingzhe and I will return to the United States tomorrow, and you may have to worry about the house!" Wu Fei said to his father.
"It won't be easy to apply for a loan if you leave." Father Wu was also a little embarrassed. He had a relationship with a bank, but he couldn't apply for a loan out of thin air!
"Let's do this! How much money is left on the house? I'll put it down first and treat it as a loan to you." Father Wu said to Wang Gang:
"But Feifei's name must be written on the house book."
Wang Gang said sheepishly: "Of course my and Feifei's names are written in the house book, but I only have 500,000 yuan at the end of the day. How about I discuss it with my parents and see if the family can transfer the money."
Father Wu nodded with satisfaction and said: "It's okay, forget it! I'll put down the 1.3 million first, and you can pay it back to me later without charging you any interest."
Wu Fei jumped up happily when he heard this, hugged his father's hand and smiled: "Dad, you are so kind."
Father Wu fondly scratched his daughter's nose and said, "Who asked me to have you as my daughter? As long as you can live a good life in the future, it is better than anything else."
Wang Gang had nothing to say at this time. He thought about those people who would have to pay sky-high betrothal gifts in order to get married and buy houses and cars more than ten years later.
Wu Fei's father is so good that I can't say anything about it. He can take more than one million as soon as he wants.
You know, he and Wu Fei are not married yet!
After the money problem was solved, the house matter became easier to handle. In the afternoon, they went to the real estate bureau to go through the transfer procedures, and 1.8 million was immediately transferred to Lao Qian's account.
At the same time, Wang Gang also wrote an IOU of 1.3 million yuan to Wu’s father.
After finishing everything, Wang Gang didn't even have time to clean up the house, and he and Wu Fei got on the plane back to the United States.
He gave Wu's father and Wu's mother a copy of the house key and asked them to help take care of it.
When they returned to Susan's house, Wang Gang and Wu Fei were already paralyzed from exhaustion and fell directly on the bed, neither of them wanting to get up.
"I feel like returning to China for a few days this time is more tiring than taking classes here for a semester." Wu Fei sighed.
"The main reason is that I have a short time to return to China and a busy schedule, so things will get better in the future." Wang Gang smiled and then asked: "Aren't you going back to your room?"
Wu Fei wrapped himself in a quilt and said, "I'll rest for a while and then go back."
Wang Gang smiled, cheered up, sat up, walked to his desk, opened his laptop, and logged in to Penguin.
"Huh?" Wang Gang discovered that there were many messages on Penguin. When he opened them, he found that they were sent to him by his sister Su Mingyu.
"Mingyu has a business so soon?"
Wang Gang discovered that what Su Mingyu sent was order information, a total of thirteen orders, and attached screenshots of payment, with a total amount of more than 200,000 Chinese coins.
"Sister, did you open your online store so soon?" Wang Gang sent a message and received a reply within seconds.
"I have two more orders today. Those who haven't arrived will be sent to you in time."
"It's late at night in China right now! Don't worry about business, but also pay attention to rest." Wang Gang replied.
"It's okay. As long as I can make money, I'm so full of energy that I can't sleep at all."
Wang Gang had no choice but to encourage his sister a few words, then carefully browse the order information and record it one by one.
Su Mingyu does have a business acumen. Not long after the online store opened, but the business was not good, she recruited customers who were classmates and acquaintances, promoted purchasing products on behalf of her, and actually made several orders for her.
Some of these lists are big-name bags, some are cosmetics, and they are basically women's business.
Wang Gang even saw a special order for milk powder, which was ten cans at a time.
It is now 2006, and the tainted milk powder incident has not happened yet, but there is already some rumors in the country. Two years ago, the country announced a batch of substandard milk powder, which caused people to panic.
Interestingly, three deer are also on the list of unqualified milk powder.
Nowadays, many people are afraid to drink domestic milk powder, and imported milk powder is very expensive, so the business of purchasing milk powder on behalf of others is very good.
Wang Gang's space is about 130 cubic meters, which is more than enough for milk powder in a train box.
There were two days left before the holiday, so Wang Gang decided to buy this batch of goods first, but there was a very embarrassing thing, he had no money.
All the money he had was to buy a house. Mingyu took the order, and the money was temporarily transferred to her account, but it has not yet been transferred.
"Mingyu, I need to ask you one thing, can you exchange the money for a dollar and send it to me?" Wang Gang left a message to Su Mingyu.
"No problem, I'll do it tomorrow." Su Mingyu left a message cheerfully.
Wang Gang chatted with his sister for a while and then closed the computer.
"It seems that the money owed will be paid back soon!" Wang Gang silently calculated the debt in his mind.
As a purchasing agent, he can earn a lot from one order. He should be able to earn more than one million a year. It mainly depends on how the business of Su Mingyu's online store is going.
But looking at the momentum, Su Mingyu is better at doing business than Wu Fei, so there shouldn't be much of a problem.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Wang Gang considered that if the purchasing business was good, he would quit his job in the restaurant and concentrate on his studies and purchasing.
In this life, he is not prepared to focus on business.
As long as the money is enough, it's just a number.
But this is enough, Wang Gang’s unit in mind is “hundred million”.
………………
Life soon got on track. The school holidays were over. Wang Gang focused on his studies, and his tutor helped him win a full scholarship.
In terms of purchasing on behalf of others, Su Mingyu got better and better, and grew bigger and bigger. Wang Gang had to purchase a batch of goods before the Chinese New Year, fly back to China in person, and deliver the goods.
This time he barely stopped, met with Su Mingyu, and then returned to Stanford in a hurry, not even having time to meet his parents.
At the Sichuan Restaurant, Wang Gang resigned directly. Boss Li tried his best to persuade him to stay, but Wang Gang had already decided to leave.
A purchasing agent can make him more than 100,000 yuan, so who would care about restaurant work?
After the Chinese New Year, Wang Gang repaid Father Wu 500,000 yuan and said that the remaining money would be repaid within a year.
Father Wu thought Wang Gang was doing something in the United States, so he made a direct overseas call to Wu Fei.
It wasn't until I found out that Wang Gang was engaging in purchasing on behalf of others that I accepted the 500,000 yuan.
Over at the Su family, Su Mingyu and Wang Gang work together as purchasing agents and earn tens of thousands of yuan a month, which is higher than many people's wages. They live a very good life and even have the idea of buying a house in Su City.
Wang Gang mentioned to her that domestic real estate is taking off and house prices will become more and more expensive in the future. Real estate speculation is a good way to make money.
Su Mingyu has a keen sense of business and is keen on the prospects of real estate.
The housing prices in Sioux City are much cheaper than those in Shanghai, with a lot of houses priced at 6,700 to 7,000 square meters.
Su Mingyu saved money for a year and bought a small house of 65 square meters in her sophomore year.
After buying the house, Su Mingyu didn't want to go back to the Su family anymore.
On Zhao Meilan's side, Wang Gang still sent 1,500 US dollars every month, originally hoping that she would buy Su Mingyu's room back.
Unexpectedly, Zhao Meilan would take Wang Gang's money and buy a wedding house for Su Mingcheng to pay the down payment in the blink of an eye.
When Wang Gang found out, the house had already been bought. He had no choice but to tell Zhao Meilan that the money was lent to Su Mingcheng and he would have to pay it back in the future.
Zhao Meilan was also reasonable and knew that her brother Ming had settled the score and that her eldest brother had no reason to buy a house for his younger brother, so she agreed to Wang Gang and asked Su Mingcheng to write an IOU.
Su Mingcheng was angry for a long time because of this matter, and did not even call Wang Gang when they got engaged.
The result was the engagement party between Su Mingcheng and Zhu Li. The Su family went to Zhao Meilan and Su Daqiang, but neither brother nor sister arrived.
Two years later, Wang Gang graduated from graduate school and successfully obtained his master's degree. Many major manufacturers also extended invitations to him.
Wu Fei also graduated successfully, and the two were ready to get married, but they had differences over the issue of studying in the United States and returning to China.
