Reborn fashion designer

Chapter 127 I can’t afford an apartment, so I can only buy a villa (seeking determination)

"Buying a house???"

Sitting in front of the ebony 'TRIPODTABLE' made of Bühler inlay technology that became popular during the Louis XIV period of France, JCE frowned while sipping coffee leisurely.

Every morning, he listened to the financial news without stopping.

But today, during his most enjoyable time, he was disturbed by his most unsatisfactory son, Little John.

Just hearing the words from his son's mouth, he immediately realized something was wrong. After a sound of surprise, he stared at Little John with his deep eyes and said in a deep voice for a moment: "Does he want to invest in real estate, or simply buy a house?"

"I don't know, I should probably buy it."

Little John, who was chewing something and hemming and hawing, shrugged his shoulders. Since being called back by his father, he would come back to stay occasionally when he was free to ease the awkward atmosphere between him and his father.

"It's not like you don't know that besides making clothes, he also reads books and invests."

After looking at his youngest son who was accustomed to being free and undisciplined, JCE frowned slightly:

"House prices in the greater Paris area have indeed picked up. You should also learn from Xiangyang and put your thoughts into useful places."

Little John smiled naively: "This thing depends on talent, but I just don't have it."

JCE: "..."

"Okay, Dad, I'm going to work first. I still have a lot of things to do today." Seeing his father frowning in deep thought, little John stood up and left quickly. Before leaving, he walked quickly with his mother face to face. walked out of his luxurious living room.

JCE, who was sitting on a soft chair in front of the floor-to-ceiling window, looked at the flowers outside the window that he had taken care of himself.

Little John's mother, who had been silent all this time, elegantly picked up the exquisite ceramic coffee pot, filled the cup with coffee, and said with a smile: "Isn't that little guy going to get married?"

"Hard to say."

After a while, JCE, who had been silent for a while, took a deep breath, picked up the coffee cup from the textured marble tabletop, put it to his lips and took a sip, "I'll ask if I get a chance."

"If so, please tell me." Little John's mother narrowed her blue eyes, which were unable to open due to the sunlight, and looked at JCE with thick white hair intently.

As a smart person, she knew that the wise partner in front of her was definitely not looking for Xiang Yang to get married to him.

"I will remember your advice." JCE smiled.

Then he turned his attention to the financial radio, where the economic analysts were expounding their views on the global stock market after the economic crisis.

He listened with great interest, and the corners of his mouth twitched slightly from time to time.

And the eyes...

"It would be great if my son had half the investment acumen of Xiang Yang."

He suddenly sighed.

In the six years that Little John has known Xiangyang, what left the deepest impression on JCE was not Xiangyang's talent in fashion, but his investment.When they first met, he thought this little guy was a young boy from China. His pocket was cleaner than his face but he liked to talk loudly.

It wasn't until he bought shares of Google, which had just gone public, that his talk about Xiang Yang changed fundamentally.

And every time he thinks about this stock, he feels regretful that he didn't buy more...

...

"Here, what you want, because of you, I still have to chat with my dad in the morning."

As soon as he arrived at the office, Little John angrily took out a business card from his pocket and threw it on Xiang Yang's desk, "Xiang, I really don't understand how you Chinese people are the first to get a promotion and salary increase. Are you thinking about buying a house instead of enjoying life? Do you really not mind if you do this? "

"Credit Agricultural Bank of China?" He picked up the business card and looked at it for a moment before Xiang Yang smiled slightly.

Sure enough, OldMoney is reliable.

With a sigh in his heart, Xiang Yang stood up and explained with a smile: "You don't understand, the house is not what I want to buy."

He said this, and when he came to Little John, he patted his friend's shoulder and said, "Come on, seeing how good you are at doing things, I'll treat you to a cup of coffee."

"You're not going to smoke again, are you?" Little John glanced at Xiang Yang. To be honest, he was a little disappointed with Xiang Yang's performance.A talented fashion designer is actually hanging around a woman, and there is no one else who can imitate him.

'Doing what you say' also requires talent.

In this regard, he felt that Xiangyang didn't have it.

"Can't the money for a cup of coffee buy a pack of cigarettes? Why are you so fussy?" Xiangyang looked at the other party impatiently, thinking to himself, how did this guy become such a virtuous person after getting married? .Obviously yesterday, he just received a lot of money into his account.

10 million dollars!

No...haha, it seems like this guy is not qualified to take this money.

Thinking that his friend might not know about this, he said in a slightly comforting tone: "Let's go, stop inking. I will try my best to satisfy you with whatever you want to eat this morning."

"Hey," Little John glanced in disgust upon hearing this, "Xiang, your words are really disgusting to think about."

"Really? By the way, you can't have breakfast at home?"

"Aren't I afraid that you won't have anyone to accompany you?!"

"But I had eaten this morning..."

.......

House prices…

It is a curse that always lingers in the minds of young people.

The same goes for Paris, France.

According to data from the same period in 2009, the average price of second-hand houses in Paris was 6157 euros per square meter, an increase of 62.5% from ten years ago. However, if this time is extended, by 2023, its increase will be more than 230%.

As for the luxury houses in France, for some reasons, their expensive prices can only make people look up to them.

For example, the bubble palace of the famous fashion designer Pierre Cardin, which ranks among the top 10 super mansions in the world, the Leopold Villa on the Côte d'Azur in southern France, which is worth 5 million euros, the Cedar Manor with 2 million euros, the famous Rose Child Garden Villa, the Chateau Soligny villa area with a starting price of 2000 million euros, and the Villa Theole SurMer villa with a price of over [-] million euros...

Well, these have nothing to do with Xiangyang, but they are somewhat relevant.

Since getting the business card of the bank's loan department manager and contacting him, Xiangyang has been busy with his work, looking at houses.

In the past week, he couldn't remember how many times he had visited the apartment.

It wasn't Liu Qianqian who pushed her hard, but the two dogs and the cat, which made Xiangyang's small apartment miserable.

Every night, he had to devote a lot of energy to serving the three new little masters. If he didn't hurry up, he felt that he might not be able to bear it anymore.

In the past few days, Liu Qianqian, although she didn't say it with her mouth, was becoming more determined in her heart about buying a house.

So on a sunny weekend, accompanied by Little John, several people came to Louveciennes in the western suburbs of Paris.

<divclass="contentadv">There are several good villas for sale here, with an area of ​​about 250 square meters, with 5 master and guest bedrooms all equipped with bathrooms, swimming pools, garages, and a 50-square-meter storage space. and a fully equipped kitchen.

It also has a separate studio, separated from the living area.

The most satisfying thing is that it also has a garden covering an area of ​​more than 3000 square meters.

As soon as he came here, Xiang Yang, who held Liu Qianqian's hand, knew that the matter was settled and that he would have to live a life of paying off his debts.

He also likes the environment here, but he is used to seeing all kinds of mansions, and he really can't be interested in admiring it at this moment. This villa will belong to him immediately.

No matter how expensive a house is, it must be lived in.

And this place is so big, there are only myself and Liu Qianqian, plus two dogs and a cat...

Feeling a little empty.

"Xiang, I think you've lost your mind and gone crazy. It's more than 100 million euros. Are you really sure you want to buy it?" Little John pulled Xiang Yang aside, glanced at him with a guilty conscience, and discussed with the real estate consultant with his mother. Price of Liu Qianqian.

"Hey...man, you don't know what kind of life I'm living now." While Xiang Yang whispered, he also took a peek at Liu Qianqian's hopeful eyes and gritted his teeth: "Let's go smoke a cigarette. ."

"You should think about it again. If you do this, I will be very stressed."

Little John tried to persuade her. His wife Laura also came today, and since the call, he had keenly noticed that there was something wrong with the way his wife looked at him.

After a while, the two of them found a deserted place.

The garden here is very big. I found a shady spot and squatted down. With a cigarette in his mouth, Xiang Yang took a deep breath and said, "I won't consider it anymore. When the Louis XIV Castle is completed, the housing prices here will be even higher. "

The 'Chateau Louis XIV' he refers to is a mansion covering an area of ​​60 acres, modeled after the Palace of Versailles, and worth US$3.01 million.

"I can't afford a house over there at Versailles, so if I work hard to buy this place, I can live next to Versailles."

"You are really good at comforting yourself." Little John took a deep breath of cigarette and said with some disappointment: "I thought we could be neighbors, I mean, my dad's house."

"I can't afford it at your dad's house."

Xiang Yang, who originally wanted to be neighbors with JCE, decisively gave up the idea after taking the time to look at several houses and housing prices there.

It's better to be pragmatic. To buy this villa, you have to borrow more than 70 euros from the bank.

Although the interest rate is very low, it is still money...

It’s just not possible not to buy it. Better apartments and villas in the city center are more expensive.

The manager of the bank's loan department said that as long as the amount was not too exaggerated, he would help Xiang Yang find a way, but Xiang Yang refused to take it.

Moreover, he felt that this matter was not settled, which delayed his work status. Recently, when he was doing something, he was thinking about having a villa with a swimming pool, where he could relax at night.

"How about I help you." After taking two more puffs of cigarette, Little John clapped his hands and grinned toward the sun, showing his white teeth, "I think you need me at this time, just like Liu needed Laura in May. .”

"Uh..." Xiang Yang was stunned for a moment. After the cigarette in his hand shook for a moment, the burnt ashes were blown away by the breeze.

Xiang Yang, who knew that this guy was so poor that he had to sell his butt, said disdainfully: "What can you help me with? Will you help me pay for decoration? Or help me buy a better car?"

Little John, who was being teased by his friends, pointed around the courtyard with the hand holding the cigarette nonchalantly, "Look, your place is so big, you need to hire a gardener to take care of your garden, and your swimming pool." , can you change the water?

It's not that I look down on you, Xiang.You haven't done this since you were a child.

I won’t talk about how expensive labor is in France, but let’s talk about your empty rooms.

The workspace is independent, so if you're tired of it, just renovate it into a cloakroom, right?

You spent a long time messing around with the other rooms, and you don’t have the money to buy my dad’s cabinets and furniture to improve your style, so..."

"Can you talk about the business?" Xiang Yang looked at his friend's non-stop chatter in astonishment. Seeing him getting more and more excited as he talked, he couldn't stand it anymore and interrupted him directly.

"Of course." Little John smiled "hehe" and raised his eyebrows: "Xiang, let me ask you, are you afraid of ghosts?"

"Ghost...no, can you just say it?"

"I just think it's not easy for you, buddy..." Little John said, tightening his nostrils, and his smiling face turned into a distressed one, "Otherwise, you can make a bigger room. Come out of your bedroom to me. Let me tell you, I have been washing swimming pools to make money since I was a child... Really, Xiang, I am also good at fertilizing flowers...

Hey, no, Xiang!

Don't leave, you can't live without me!

real! "

Too lazy to listen to this poor guy who couldn't take enough advantage, Xiangyang put out his cigarette and walked from the yard to the swimming pool in the living area in three steps. After taking a glance, he went straight to Little John's mother, In front of Laura, Liu Qianqian and the real estate consultant.

Seeing Xiang Yang coming back, Liu Qianqian blinked her bright eyes, smiled and said, "Going to smoke with Little John again?"

"Well, calm down." Xiang Yang smiled and nodded. After saying hello to Laura, he smiled and asked Xiang Xiaojohn's mother: "What do you think of this place?"

"It's very good, and the price is also good. I think if you are in a hurry, you can buy it. He just said that the property fee can be reduced for two years." Little John's mother expressed satisfaction. The price of a little more than 100 million can Buying such a two-story villa with such a big garden is actually quite cost-effective.

With the same layout, if you put it in her house, it would start at at least 300 million euros, but it might not be that big.

Seeing that the locals had said this, Xiang Yang naturally did not hesitate anymore. He looked at Liu Qianqian dotingly and asked, "Then what do you think?"

Liu Qianqian naturally likes it here too. In addition to her acting classes and French classes these days, she also takes time out in the evening to discuss buying a house with Xiang Yang.At first, she didn't agree to Xiangyang's loan to buy it because she felt that she had the money and there was no need for Xiangyang to bear so much pressure.

And most of the reasons why the other party bought it were because of her.

But for some reason, she suddenly agreed one day, but Xiangyang also agreed not to worry about the cost of decoration and buying a car.

Seeing Xiang Yang's questioning look, Liu Qianqian pursed her lips and said, "Would you like to tell your uncle, aunt, and my father and mother... what do you think?"

"After we buy it, we can invite them to our home, what do you think?" Xiangyang thought for a moment and felt that it was better not to disturb each other's parents.

Otherwise, there will be a lot of things involved.

At least Lao Xiang and Lao Zhao knew that he spent such a large sum of money to buy property abroad...

Hearing this, Liu Qianqian's eyelids moved slightly. She felt as if something was missing if she didn't tell her family.

But she immediately thought that Xiangyang was willing to pay so much for herself, so she nodded: "Then I'll listen to you~"

Seeing that Liu Qianqian agreed, Xiang Yang gritted his teeth and said gratefully to Little John's mother: "Well, Auntie, I'd like to trouble you about the qualifications to buy a house..."

"Don't worry, it's a small matter."

"thanks…"

There are many restrictions on foreigners buying houses in France. If you are interested, you can check it out.However, there is a loophole in the reduction of the deadline: the applicant has made important contributions to France with his abilities and talents.In addition, apartments in the center of Paris were too expensive, so I chose to go to the suburbs.
