In 2007, not only did the stock market surge, but house prices across the country also soared.
As a popular investment city in Beijing, the average price of second-hand houses throughout the year increased by 23% compared with 2006, reaching as high as 8,900 yuan.
Of course, this average price does not have much reference significance in the huge Forty-Nine Cities. Any house that can attract the attention of Lu Yan and Ruan Xiaoxiao, mother and daughter, must cost upwards of 10,000 yuan.
After going to the airport to pick up their future mother-in-law, the three of them went to the 4S store first, and Lu Yan picked up a Volkswagen Bora.
The main reason is that the rear seats of the Porsche 911 are slightly small. Ruan Xiaoxiao and Xiao Wanru are both very tall, so whoever sits in them will feel uncomfortable, not to mention the huge Lu Yan.
After a brief meal, Xiao Wanru took out a map of the capital and asked in which area she wanted to buy.
Lu Yan plans to set up a mobile phone technology company in a while, and also wants to get into food delivery and group buying. He is still hesitating whether to place the startup company in Beijing or Jinling.
But if you are in Beijing, you basically have to choose between Chaoyang and Haidian.
One is a commercial center with many Fortune 500 companies. The other is a cultural center with many famous schools, which are actually quite good.
Thinking about it again, today’s housing prices in Beijing are still cheaper than they will be in the future.
After thinking for a while, he said: "Chaoyang, Haidian, each of these two places has its own thing!"
Xiao Wanru was stunned for a moment after hearing this. The capital city is big and it is not easy to live there. No matter how many people spend all their money, they may not be able to buy one set. She is such a good future son-in-law. She wants two sets. It sounds like buying pancakes and fruit. .
“House prices in the capital will continue to rise in the future, so it’s a good idea to buy two units!”
As expected, this person is in the bank loan business, and he has some vision. He even thought to himself: "Daughter, if my son-in-law settles in the capital in the future, when we retire, he will definitely join them. He has made a lot of money in the stock market. Why not buy one in the capital as well."
But he was just thinking about it in his mind and didn't say it out loud, so as not to make Lu Yan mistakenly think that his mother-in-law was asking him for a house, and it would be a slap in the face for his daughter!
But Lu Yan muttered again: "Actually, you can also look at the villa over there in Xishan. The upper floors are not soundproof!"
Ruan Xiaoxiao was surprised and said, "Ah, how much do you want to buy?"
Lu Yan smiled: "Let's have three apartments. Chaoyang and Haidian will each have a two-bedroom apartment, and we're building a villa here in Xishan!"
"How much will it cost?" the girl asked with emotion.
Lu Yan made some calculations in his mind and said, "If I have more than ten million, it's probably enough!"
At this price, ten years from now, you can buy a two-bedroom apartment within the Fifth Ring Road.
Xiao Wanru and Ruan Xiaoxiao both know Lu Yan's current net worth. It is said that he has a net worth of 5 to 6 billion, and spending more than 10 million to buy a house is really not a big deal!
The discussion has been decided, and everyone drives to Chaoyang District, which is slightly closer to the Capital Airport, and goes directly to the star real estate in this area - Galaxy Bay.
The property is located between the East Fourth Ring Road and the Fifth Ring Road, with Xinghewan Ecological Park in the east, Chaoyang North Road in the south, and less than 300 meters away from Line 6. There is Beijing Forest Park in the north, adjacent to No. 97 Middle School, and away from the CBD business district. Less than 10 minutes by car…….
Overall, the house is pretty good, as is the money!
The average price of second-hand houses in Beijing in 2007 was 8,900 yuan, and when the second phase opened, the starting price was 20,000 yuan and 3,000 yuan, with an average price of 25,000 yuan, which is already 30,000 yuan per square meter!
In one word, expensive!
"Sir, Madam, our houses are expensive for a reason. We focus on high-end residences, community three-dimensional gardens, high-quality interior decoration, key primary schools, bilingual kindergartens, super five-star clubs, serviced apartments, etc. Completed at the same time, it shocked the real estate industry in Beijing...!"
Having said this, the female saleswoman who looked pretty good looked at Lu Yan with some sympathy.
In her opinion, the mother and daughter were pretty, complementing each other, and drove a Porsche 911. But the handsome boy, although he was well-dressed, drove a Volkswagen Bora with a temporary license plate.
Could it be that a rich girl was attracted to a poor boy, and the girl's parents want to buy a house for the young couple?
But speaking of his appearance, this boy has a really good temperament, and he seems to have a good face (a has-been internet singer), so he has the capital to make a fool of himself.
When the saleswoman was distracted for a moment, Ruan Xiaoxiao asked Lu Yan, "What do you think?"
Lu Yan looked at the planning and floor plans and said, "It looks pretty good. Do you like it here?"
Ruan Xiaoxiao couldn't help but nod, "I think it's OK, but it's a bit expensive!"
Lu Yan smiled calmly and asked the saleswoman: "Do you have a house available for your three-bedroom apartment of 314 square meters?"
The female salesperson was stunned when she heard this. She felt that this boy was in charge. Could it be that he was a rich second generation?
But he hurriedly said: "There is someone on the 7th floor. Let me take you to see it?"
Lu Yan nodded and said, "Go!"
At this moment, the female saleswoman, who was having a lot of internal drama, could basically conclude that this guy was the one who made the decision, and she couldn't help but become more enthusiastic.
A group of four people went to see the house. The decoration was quite high-end, and the community and surrounding environment were also good. They asked for a discount, but the saleswoman initially said she couldn't get a discount.
So Lu Yan first said that he had sold a house before, and then secretly used "Daoist friends to stay", and finally sold the house at a 93% discount, with a total payment of 8.76 million.
After the contract was printed and signed, the saleswoman still felt a little dizzy.
As for Ruan Xiaoxiao and Xiao Wanru, they accompanied them almost the whole time and didn't express much opinions.
The main reason is that there is nothing to fault. Based on their experience and vision, this community can be considered high-end. Apart from the price being too expensive, there is nothing wrong with it.
But the problem is that Lu Yan is not short of money and can negotiate prices, so the two of them really can't say much.
After swiping the card and getting the contract information, the three of them went to the parking lot.
Ruan Xiaoxiao sighed, "This set is only over 8 million, so there's no need to read the rest, right?"
Lu Yan said with a smile: "This apartment is too big, but you have to look at the rest. At worst, you can choose a smaller apartment, villa or something in Haidian, and don't buy one that is too big!"
Xiao Wanru didn't say anything. It was one thing to know that her future son-in-law was rich, but it was another thing to watch him spend money.
A house costs more than 8 million yuan, more than 300 square meters, luxurious decoration, ah!
After driving out of Star River Bay, the three of them headed to Zhongguancun and directly chose Zhongguancun Mansion.
This property is located in the core area of Zhongguancun, across the street from Microsoft Asia Headquarters and Kempinski Hotel. It is surrounded by the headquarters of many well-known companies such as Lenovo, Sina, and Digital China. The location is also good.
The three of them entered the sales office, and a salesperson immediately came forward to greet them.
"Hello, sir, madam, I am... Lu Yan, why are you here?"
Lu Yan also recognized the person in front of him, Liu Shiwen, who had the nickname Liu Meili in high school.
He was in a different class than him, but he and Lu Yan were at the same desk and copied questions during the college entrance examination, but they were not in the same classroom during the college entrance examination.
