The landlord of Sanhe Homes finally gave in, and this time Xu Dong pulled Mr. Wang down to the corridor.
"Mr. Wang, based on your intuition, do you think this is Mr. Cai's lowest price?" Xu Dong asked softly.
"I think it's about the same. 6.65 million is already much lower than the market price. Mr. Xu, if you are really interested, I advise you to get it as soon as possible. The real estate market is getting hotter day by day."
Of course Mr. Wang wants to reach an agreement as soon as possible to avoid long nights and nightmares, so his attitude is very positive.
Xu Dong thought about it for a while, then went back to the house to discuss it with Xu Ma and the others. With his strong persuasion, the house was finally bought.
He usually has to go to work and doesn't have much time to look at houses. It's better not to worry about it. Anyway, his family doesn't lack the hundreds of thousands of dollars.
After negotiating the price, the two parties quickly signed a house purchase contract. Xu Dong transferred a deposit of 200,000 on the spot, and the intermediary was responsible for the rest.
If you want to get the real estate certificate, you still need to wait at least ten days and a half.
"Mr. Wang, try to speed up the review on your side. I am in a hurry to use the house." Xu Dong requested before leaving.
"I understand, Mr. Xu, don't worry, I will definitely keep an eye on it for you." Mr. Wang assured.
"Thank you very much!"
"You're welcome, this is what we should do."
…
After settling the house, Yu Dong once again lived a leisurely life comparable to that of Mi Chong.
But there are a lot of trivial matters. Not only did Gao Yuemei come over to inquire about the progress of the milk powder just after lunch.
"Xiao Xu, Xiao Xu..."
"Sister Gao, why are you here? Hurry up and blow up the electric fan. You're sweating so much. You should hold an umbrella when you come out."
Xu Dong quickly put away his phone, he was too focused on what he was looking at just now.
"Sister, it's not hot." Gao Yuemei wiped the sweat from her forehead with her sleeves.
Xiao Wang poured a glass of water for Gao Yuemei: "Sister Gao, drink water."
"Thank you, Xiao Wang."
Gao Yuemei took the water glass, but did not drink it. Instead, she looked at Xu Dong anxiously, her eyes full of expectation.
Xu Dong could not bear this and quickly explained:
"Sister Gao, I asked you about the milk powder. It is indeed out of stock now."
Sister Gao's face quickly darkened, looking like a desperate old woman.
Xu Dong didn't dare to go around in circles anymore, so he changed the subject and said, "But..."
"But what?" Hope rekindled in Gao Yuemei's eyes.
"But it should be in stock next week."
Gao Yuemei patted her chest and whispered: "As long as you have milk powder, you will not be short of these few days."
She was completely helpless. Her little grandson just refused to eat. She tried rice soup and batter, but nothing worked.
If she can't find milk powder again, she will have to shamelessly ask other mothers to borrow milk, but this is not a long-term solution after all, and weaning is unavoidable.
Xu Dong nodded, and then said hesitantly: "It's just...Sister Gao, this...price may be a bit...expensive."
"How expensive is it?" Gao Yuemei's heart thumped, and she was ready to be ripped off.
"The milk powder is an imported brand-name milk powder, and a can costs 8,000 yuan."
Xu Dong suddenly increased the price of milk powder by more than ten times. He did not want to take advantage of others' crisis, but he could not scare away those sophisticated people without offering a high price.
There are a total of 100 boxes of baby milk powder stored in his warehouse, a total of 600 cans, half of which will be the triplets' rations for the next three years.
After three years, this batch of milk powder will almost expire.
In other words, Xu Dong has a surplus of 300 cans that can be used for trading.
Although the number is not small, it can only supply 10 babies for one year at most.
Therefore, in order to avoid unnecessary trouble, let’s just talk about the price directly. Whoever has the higher price will get the milk powder, so as not to make it difficult for you to be a good person.
Gao Yuemei was really shocked. The price was indeed exaggerated.
But fortunately, their whole family worked in state-owned enterprises, and their economic conditions were pretty good. 8,000 yuan was not an unacceptable figure, so they gritted their teeth and bought it.
"Can I buy a few more cans?"
Xu Dong thought for a while and realized that giving too much would not be a good idea. It would seem that he was too capable to do this, so he sighed and said, "Two cans at most, and they are in short supply over there."
"Two cans are enough, Xiao Xu, you are very busy, big sister is very busy." Gao Yuemei quickly expressed her gratitude.
Xu Dong waved his hand, "I'm just a middleman. The key depends on whether they have the goods."
"I still want to thank you, Xiao Xu. Sister will transfer the money to you now."
"Sister Gao, let's wait until the milk powder arrives. There's no rush." Xu Dong immediately refused.
"That's okay too!"
Not long after Gao Yuemei left, Section Chief Li called again, informing him to collect his salary slip. Today is May 6, the day when the power company pays wages.
"Dong dong dong..."
"Come in!"
"Uncle Li, I'm here."
Section Chief Li didn't waste any time. He handed the salary slip to Xu Dong and said casually: "You joined the company on the 12th of last month. You worked for a total of 18 days in April. Do you think that's correct?"
"That's right, I started class on the 12th."
Xu Dong took the salary slip and first looked at the total salary.
"Wow", 10,600 yuan, far exceeded expectations.
After looking at it, Xu Dong quickly discovered something was wrong, so he asked:
"Uncle Li, I only worked for 18 days last month, so why do I still have perfect attendance? Is it a mistake?"
Section Chief Li shook his head and explained: "Originally, you wouldn't be able to get perfect attendance in your situation, but I specially marked the reason for you, so naturally it will be fine."
"Thank you, Uncle Li." Xu Dong thanked him quickly. After all, it was 1,200 yuan, so it was completely worth a thank you.
"Okay, if there's no problem, you can go back to work!"
Xu Dong hummed a little tune and returned to Beimen. Even though the salary was not much, he still had a sense of accomplishment after all he had worked hard day by day.
"Brother Xu, how much is the salary?" Xiao Wang asked.
"It's just over 10,000 yuan. If I work for a full month, I should be able to get something like 17,800 yuan." Xu Dong replied.
Xiao Huang said enviously: "If I could get half of it, I would be so happy."
"Young people, don't talk about whether you will die or not. More than ten thousand yuan is not a high salary. As long as you are willing to work hard, there are many opportunities to make big money."
After all, he has been young and confused, so Xu Dong is still willing to encourage young people.
Moreover, the world today is undergoing major changes unseen in thousands of years. As long as you are willing to endure hardship and have the ability, there will be opportunities everywhere in the future to get ahead.
In Xu Dong's previous life, if he hadn't been too worried about his family, he would have gone out to pursue his career long ago.
"Brother Xu, you are a fed man and don't know how hungry a man is. If we had the chance, we wouldn't come here to be security guards." Xiao Wang said with a bitter smile.
Xiao Cheng even echoed: "What a struggle, I've done express delivery and delivered takeaways before, but in the end I'm not as comfortable as a security guard."
"Okay, okay." Xu Dong waved his hand, "I can't explain clearly now, but you will understand later."
