Since Gu Amei didn't have a bank card, Han Wen gave up his plan to transfer hundreds of thousands of yuan to her.
"Fine, let's just keep your money here with me, like before." Han Wen had no choice but to give up and said, "Xiao Meizi, you're rich now too."
So, from now on, you can buy whatever you want to eat, drink, or wear.
Your health is the foundation of everything; you're still growing, so don't neglect yourself.
"I know, Brother Han. But I don't want anything, I don't want to buy anything."
"I'll keep saving money and then buy myself a small apartment." Gu Amei nodded, her expression serious. "Unfortunately, I don't have enough money. I heard that a small apartment around here costs over ten thousand yuan."
"Why are you thinking of buying a house?" Han Wen asked, surprised.
He felt that even if Gu Amei wasn't the main character, she must be the chosen one. Because, ever since she met him, every choice she made seemed to be absolutely correct.
"Because I don't want to sleep on the streets and wander around like before," Gu Amei replied. "How wonderful it would be to have a home of my own."
"You want to buy a house? Okay, then let's buy a house." Han Wen thought for a moment and nodded: "However, you are a minor now and are not eligible to buy a house."
And I am not your guardian, so I cannot help you with the purchase and transfer of ownership.
Xiao Meizi, if you trust me, you can put the house in my name first.
"I'll transfer the house to your name next year when you turn 18. How does that sound?"
"Brother Han, are you really going to buy me a house?" Gu Amei was stunned and couldn't believe it. "But I don't have enough money to buy a house right now."
"Xiao Meizi, don't worry about money right now. Since you want a house, let's buy it first," Han Wen said with a smile. "The question now is, do you want an apartment building or a courtyard house?"
"Brother Han, are you also planning to buy a house? And what kind of house is a courtyard house?" Gu Amei asked. "Whatever kind of house you buy, I'll buy the same kind of house."
Sure enough, this girl had incredible luck and made the right choice once again.
The continuous winnings left even Han Wen, a reborn individual, somewhat speechless.
Han Wen is definitely going to buy houses, and not just one, but dozens. Not just one street, but two streets.
He wanted to buy a small street in the East District and another small street in the West District. One small street for himself, and one small street for Zhou Ning.
Of the 30 million Han Wen earned, at least 10 million belonged to Zhou Ning. Now that Zhou Ning is abroad, he might as well continue to invest for him.
Investing in a courtyard house in this era is absolutely the right choice. If you miss this opportunity, you'll never have another chance like it.
Whether it's demolished or sold in the future, any courtyard house can appreciate in value by at least nearly a hundred times.
Originally, Han Wen planned to select several stocks that were expected to surge in value and invest the money in the stock market for long-term holding.
However, after Gu Amei's reminder, he realized that investing in real estate was actually a much safer option. Looking at it this way, this girl was indeed his lucky star.
Since that's the case, then of course we should buy, buy, buy!
If ten million isn't enough, he'll take another ten million. In short, he'll buy the house at any cost.
Of course, such a large-scale real estate transaction is not an easy thing, and it probably cannot be completed smoothly in the short term.
Especially since Hanwen wanted to buy a courtyard house, the transaction became even more complicated.
Legitimate real estate exchanges and property swapping stations won't work; he has to go to real estate brokers and property speculators.
"Okay, Xiaomei, I understand your thoughts." Since Han Wen had made up his mind, he acted decisively and without hesitation: "You continue to watch the shop, I'll go buy a car. Then, I'll try to find some real estate speculators and rent thieves."
Give Lu Xiangdong a call and urge him. I'm not waiting for him; I'm leaving now.
"Brother Han, are you really going to buy a house and a car?" Gu Amei could hardly believe her ears, her face full of surprise. "Did you make a lot of money in Shanghai before?"
It's not just a lot, it's far too much; if I told you, it would scare you to death.
"Little Plum, to be honest, I have indeed made a lot of money. But we should not flaunt our wealth; we must learn to be low-key."
So keep this secret to yourself, and never tell any outsiders.
"Remember, it's anyone." Han Wen nodded and instructed, "By the way, if you see my older brother later, ask him to give me Sister Ning's ID card."
Ning Jie is currently not in the country, so since I'm buying a house, I naturally need to buy one for her as well.
"Okay, I understand." Gu Amei nodded.
She used to come to the typing shop often after get off work when she had nothing to do, in order to find Zhou Ning. That's how she got to know Zhou Yu and knew that he was Zhou Ning's older brother.
After explaining everything in Hanwen's words, he left the typing shop with his bank card and ID card.
Then, I hailed a yellow Volkswagen Beetle and headed straight for the Xicheng District Auto Trade Center.
No matter the year or the place, money makes things easier.
Han Wen bought a brand new Tianjin Dafa car with very little effort and for just over 30,000 yuan.
Nowadays, Tianjin Dafa stores are everywhere in Beijing, as numerous as insects.
Even if Han Wen becomes rich and famous, he will always maintain a low profile. I feel that this little yellow bug is just fine.
To be honest, if he were to buy a car worth hundreds of thousands or millions right now, he really wouldn't want to drive it. Even if he did, he'd probably feel uncomfortable.
Han Wen drove his little yellow Beetle and happily left the car dealership. Then, he drove around the West District endlessly.
It took him several tens of minutes and a great deal of effort to finally find a house mouse.
The other person was a long-time Beijing native, nicknamed "Third Master Leopard," and spoke with a thick Beijing accent, leaving Han Wen completely bewildered.
However, the other party is indeed very famous in the West District and East District; he is a typical old hand.
He didn't work alone; he had a small group of people who specialized in buying and selling private houses and old houses like courtyards.
When Han Wen revealed his purpose, the old man was also surprised.
I never imagined that such a huge deal would fall into my hands; it's like an unimaginable windfall has come my way.
He wasn't worried that Han Wen was lying to him, after all, although the other party was not very old, he was a writer and had some fame.
These days, writers are still considered valuable and have a certain social standing.
Although Third Master Leopard had never read any of Han Wen's works, he had heard of the name. Therefore, he trusted Han Wen.
The two quickly signed a property purchase entrustment contract and a confidentiality agreement. As long as the price and location were reasonable, they would negotiate one property at a time. All transactions were in cash, with no outstanding debts.
After all, there was no such thing as a mortgage back then; buying a house was basically done with cash.
With a huge amount of cash on hand, Han Wen had no problem paying for the house.
