The next day, Mao Xiaoyu was brushing her teeth in the morning when she suddenly heard the phone ring.
She picked up her phone and saw it was an unfamiliar number. Mao Xiaoyu brushed her teeth quickly and then answered the call.
"Hello, are you Mr. Mao Xiaoyu? I'm sorry to bother you, but I'm an employee of Xinde Real Estate Company. I'm calling to talk to you about the batch of houses under your name that are being demolished. When would you be available to discuss this in person, Mr. Mao Xiaoyu?"
After the call connected, I heard a girl's voice on the other end. Her voice was quite sweet, and she spoke clearly and distinctly, which was very pleasant to listen to.
Upon hearing that the other party wanted to talk to her about the demolition compensation housing, Mao Xiaoyu suddenly realized what was going on.
I calculated the time; the demolition notice has been posted for several days now. It's time for the real estate development company to send someone to negotiate. I didn't receive a call a couple of days ago, and I didn't know if it was my turn yet. It seems they've come knocking on my door today.
"I'm available after 9 a.m., I wonder if your company is available?" Mao Xiaoyu asked in return.
"Our staff are ready to assist you at any time. Mr. Mao Xiaoyu, where shall we meet? Of course, if Mr. Mao Xiaoyu is interested in our company, you are welcome to come to our company to meet us," the person on the other end of the line asked.
Unless Mao Xiaoyu was out of her mind, she wouldn't choose to hold negotiations at someone else's company. So when she heard the other party ask where to meet, she thought for a moment and then said, "There's a romantic coffee shop at the intersection of Ludong Road and Shanyang Road. Let's meet here at 8:00 or 9:30. I hope you can send someone important so that it will be easier to talk."
"Okay, Mr. Mao Xiaoyu, we'll arrange for someone to meet us at the Romantic Cafe at 9:30. That's all for now, goodbye." After saying that, the person on the other end hung up the phone.
Seeing that the other party had hung up, Mao Xiaoyu put her phone aside without any rush, since the location was very close.
Having just brushed her teeth, Mao Xiaoyu washed her face, changed into clean clothes, hesitated for a moment, then took out her ID card and the card Guo Xiaoyan had given her yesterday before leaving her residence.
Then I rode my electric bike to the Romantic Cafe, ordered myself a coffee, and waited for the people from Xinde Real Estate Company to arrive.
"I got through to Manager Wang from Xinde Real Estate Company. They asked us to meet at 9:30 at the Romantic Cafe at the intersection of Ludong Road and Shanyang Road. They want us to send someone with some ability. Who do you think we should send?"
After making the call to Mao Xiaoyu, the employee, due to time constraints, reported to Manager Wang.
Manager Wang hesitated for a moment, then decided that this matter was of paramount importance to the demolition department. Since that was the case, he would go himself. At least he could see what the other party had to say.
"Give me the documents, I'll take my secretary with me," Manager Wang said to his employees.
"Okay," the employee replied, handing over Mao Xiaoyu's information. The information included not only the size, location, and number of Mao Xiaoyu's houses, but also their appraised value and the approximate compensation she could receive if the houses were demolished.
"You guys should call all the homeowners whose properties are being demolished. Try to find them this morning to discuss the demolition, according to the schedule. I hope to hear good news today," Manager Wang said to his employees after taking Mao Xiaoyu's documents.
"Yes, Manager Wang," the employee replied.
Then Manager Wang, accompanied by his secretary, drove straight to their destination.
Mao Xiaoyu sat in the coffee shop, listening to the melodious music playing in the background while admiring the waitresses.
-
After finishing his coffee, just as he was wondering why the person hadn't arrived yet, he heard someone ask softly in an uncertain tone, "Excuse me, are you Mr. Mao?"
Hearing someone ask her a question, Mao Xiaoyu turned her head and saw a man and a woman standing next to her.
Suits, work clothes.
Judging from their attire, they appear to be employees of a real estate company.
"Are you employees of Xinde Real Estate Company?" Mao Xiaoyu asked uncertainly, though she had a feeling they were.
"Yes, yes, I am Manager Wang from Xinde Real Estate Company. This is my secretary, Secretary Ai. I arranged for someone to call you this morning. The main reason is to discuss the issue of house demolition with you," Manager Wang said, bowing and scraping.
"Then sit down, let's talk after you sit down." Hearing that it was the person she was waiting for, Mao Xiaoyu politely invited her to sit down.
Once Manager Wang confirmed that it was indeed Mao Xiaoyu, he politely sat down, ordered two coffees for himself and his secretary, and thoughtfully refilled Mao Xiaoyu's cup as well.
After the waiter brought the coffee, Manager Wang took out the documents and said, "Mr. Mao, according to the homeowner information we obtained from the government, you own a total of 39 houses within our demolition area. Is that alright?"
"That's right." There was nothing to hide anyway, so Mao Xiaoyu nodded silently.
Manager Wang said again, "Then let me ask Mr. Mao, do you agree or disagree with the demolition? After your house is demolished, do you want a replacement house or cash? You should have seen our demolition notice. It says in the notice that if you need a house, we will return the house at a ratio of 1:2."
If you're asking for cash, the price might be a little lower. Of course, even if it's lower, it won't be based on the old building price, but rather on the new building price, which will be slightly higher. It will be around 6000-8000 yuan per square meter. We also cover demolition compensation, including all fees stipulated by the government, such as renovation costs, demolition fees, signing fees, moving expenses, etc., all of which we will subsidize.
"Give me all of it in cash," Mao Xiaoyu said decisively.
"Cash is fine too, but since the renovation costs vary from house to house, we'll have a third-party appraiser assess all your properties. Tell us when you have time, and we'll have the appraiser come to your property to assess it," Manager Wang said.
"Whether there's an assessment or not doesn't really matter. In fact, we both know in our hearts that the houses being demolished are just like that. If the renovation is better, your price assessment will be higher, but in the end, they'll all be demolished with one blow. If the renovation is worse, the assessment will be lower, but in the end, they'll still be demolished with one blow."
Therefore, I think an evaluation is unnecessary. Here's what we'll do: I'll state my requirements, and you can go back and discuss them. If you agree, we can sign the contract directly; if not, then you'll just have to wait." Mao Xiaoyu waved her hand dismissively, directly rejecting the evaluation.
"Then please speak, Mr. Mao." Hearing Mao Xiaoyu's refusal, Manager Wang suppressed his displeasure and said solemnly.
"First, I have a total of 39 houses, with a total area of approximately 1534 square meters. As for whether it's slightly more or less, that's fine. The difference won't exceed 0.5 square meters. I don't agree with your price either. My price isn't high either. I want 10,000 yuan per square meter, so for 1534 square meters, I'll give you 15.34 million yuan."
As for the renovation costs, moving costs, rent, and key handover fees you mentioned, let's calculate them all together. I don't want much. Each house costs 30, and I have a total of 39 houses. After calculating, I need 1170 million.
Therefore, the two sums total 27.04 million. I need you to give me this money in two installments. 10 million will be paid in Hong Kong dollars, and I will give you a HSBC bank card at that time. The remaining amount will be paid in RMB, but you must give me the RMB first.
"As for anything else, there's no need to discuss it. After all, the price I gave is the fair price, and we won't try to take advantage of you. However, I also don't like you haggling. So, go back and discuss my offer today, and see what your bosses say." Mao Xiaoyu took a sip of coffee and said.
Manager Wang felt a chill run down his spine at Mao Xiaoyu's demands, since they were almost identical to the most lenient terms offered by his company.
Based on the requirements stated by Mao Xiaoyu, Manager Wang had reason to believe that if his company knew about Mao Xiaoyu's demands, there was a 90% chance that they would ultimately agree.
Based on Mao Xiaoyu's withdrawal request, Manager Wang became even more certain that Mao Xiaoyu must have someone behind her, and that person might be able to get 10 million Hong Kong dollars.
The remaining RMB should belong to Mao Xiaoyu in front of her. Although it seems like there are many more RMB than HKD, after deducting the value of the house, Mao Xiaoyu shouldn't get much.
"Mr. Mao, I understand your request. I will report it to our chairman. It should take at most two days for us to give you a reply," Manager Wang said earnestly.
"It's a pleasure doing business with you. Although I'm taking money this time, I'm still interested in your real estate. Maybe in three years, after your houses are built, I'll have to come back and buy them. I hope the price will be a bit cheaper then," Mao Xiaoyu said with a smile.
This isn't a lie. If Mao Xiaoyu really has money, she might actually come back and buy a house here.
After all, the commercial plaza and residential buildings built by Xinde Real Estate Company this time are really good, because there is no better building in this area. As a result, the price of its residential buildings reached 9 yuan per square meter by 2022.
So, if the housing prices here aren't too high in 2008, Mao Xiaoyu plans to spend some money to buy some houses and hold onto them until a decade or so later, when she can sell them.
"Definitely, definitely. As long as you come to buy a house in the future, Mr. Mao, our company will definitely give you a discount." Although Manager Wang didn't quite understand what Mao Xiaoyu meant, he still said nice things.
Since the deal was reached, Manager Wang didn't stay. He said goodbye and left with his secretary.
Watching Manager Wang and his secretary leave, Mao Xiaoyu fell into thought.
Actually, this price was a method that Mao Xiaoyu had thought about for an hour or two before coming up with it.
Having experienced a rebirth, Mao Xiaoyu knew what kind of bottom price Xinde Real Estate Company ultimately offered everyone. Therefore, when it came to negotiating prices, Mao Xiaoyu felt it was better to just cut to the bottom price directly.
Although having 39 houses might allow me to earn a little more than the average person, the time and effort required is far too much.
In Mao Xiaoyu's view, dragging it out is pointless. At most, it will only add one or two million yuan. With this time spent dragging it out, it would be better to put the money into the stock market and buy stocks at the bottom.
More importantly, Liu Yong's incident yesterday served as a warning to Mao Xiaoyu, making her even more eager to get her hands on the money.
Moreover, you can't put all your eggs in one basket; you have to keep your money separate too.
Therefore, today Mao Xiaoyu not only wanted RMB, but also HKD 10 million.
In fact, based on the progress over the next two years, Mao Xiaoyu should have kept the money in China and invested in domestic A-shares.
The stock will then multiply dozens of times, allowing your capital to grow exponentially.
After what happened yesterday, Mao Xiaoyu was a little scared, afraid that someone would turn on her. So Mao Xiaoyu asked for HK$10 million as a backup plan.
There was nothing she could do; in her past life, she was just a nobody. Mao Xiaoyu really didn't want to experience or try the methods used by those above.
Therefore, Mao Xiaoyu felt that it was better to keep a low profile. If she couldn't keep a low profile, she should at least leave herself a way out.
Mao Xiaoyu had already planned to use the HK$10 million to register an offshore company in Hong Kong and then use that company to buy Tencent shares.
Although buying Tencent stock now is not as good as buying domestic A-shares, Mao Xiaoyu plans to hold Tencent stock for the long term!
Moreover, Mao Xiaoyu also had a plan: whenever she made money in China, she would occasionally send some of it to Hong Kong to buy the stocks she wanted, thus leaving herself a way out.
If one day I accidentally offend someone in China and all my assets in China are seized, I can simply go to Hong Kong. At least with the Tencent shares I hold, I can still live a life of luxury.
After all, Tencent's stock price is really low right now, with a market value of just over 100 billion RMB. No matter how Mao Xiaoyu buys, she feels like she's making a profit.
However, I still need to go to the HSBC office in Shanghai to get a bank card, otherwise I won't be able to get money from Xinde Real Estate Company in Hong Kong dollars.
Furthermore, I need to obtain a tourist visa to go to Hong Kong to set up an offshore company. That way, I won't need to show my face in the future; I can simply use the offshore company to buy stocks.
Once she has acquired a certain number of shares, Mao Xiaoyu plans to use an offshore company as a front to enter the board of directors of Tencent, so that she will know about any developments at Tencent before others.
Thinking about this, Mao Xiaoyu felt that she still had a lot to do next.
