Siheyuan: The romantic and suave Xu Damao

It was obvious that this person was anxious to sell the property quickly, otherwise why would he be so presumptuous as to inquire about his intentions from a young man?

This mentality is actually a common fluke mentality: what if the young man is financially strong and happens to value his own yard? Wouldn't that solve the problem he is currently facing?

"Oh, then it wouldn't hurt to go in and take a look."

Xu Damao responded without comment.

"Okay, then come in with me and take a look."

As the middle-aged man spoke, he stretched out his hand, pushed open the gate of the yard, and was the first to step over the threshold and enter the yard.

Seeing this, Xu Damao hurriedly pushed his bicycle and followed closely behind him, entering the yard.

"Brother, look here. There are two main rooms, one is used as a living room and the other is used as a bedroom. There are two side rooms on the side. The one on this side is the toilet, and the one opposite to it is the kitchen. There are all kinds of household items in it. Come on, let's go inside and take a look." After the two men walked into the kitchen, the middle-aged man continued.

Sure enough, just as he said, the kitchen was not only fully equipped with pots and pans, but there were also a lot of black coal briquettes piled up in the corners.

"Look at this again, this is running water, and there are also electric light bulbs installed in the room. At the beginning, I was thinking of living here for a long time, so I took some time to decorate this house." After that, the middle-aged man led Xu Damao into the main room and another wing room, and walked around the entire courtyard carefully. At the same time, he did not forget to introduce the many advantages of this courtyard to Xu Damao one by one.

"Come on, brother, just tell me what you want to say. How much do you want to sell it for? Let me be frank. I don't have much money in my pocket. If you ask for an exorbitant price, there will be no negotiation."

After Xu Damao patiently listened to the middle-aged man's endless and lengthy introduction, he finally couldn't help but speak out his true thoughts, which made the middle-aged man overjoyed.

The middle-aged man smiled and said to Xu Damao, "Brother, you have a good eye! You should be able to see that although our house is just an ordinary small yard, it has everything it should have. Not only does it have a spacious yard that can be used to grow vegetables or raise chickens, but the location is also good. How about this, since we are destined to be together, I won't say any more words to you, the price is one hundred and fifty yuan! How about it? This price is definitely a bargain!"

After saying that, he stared at Xu Damao closely, trying to catch a hint of satisfaction or excitement on the other's face.

However, Xu Damao was not moved at all, and he didn't even bother to lift his eyelids. He walked straight towards the bicycle parked in the yard, and it seemed that he was going to leave.

"Hey, brother, don't be in a hurry to leave! We can negotiate the price... As the saying goes, 'ask for a sky-high price and pay back on the spot', if you think the price is appropriate, you can just tell me directly! Don't miss such a good house because of a momentary impulse!" Seeing that the situation was not good, the middle-aged man hurriedly chased after him, holding Xu Damao's arm and explaining anxiously.

"Brother, I'm not saying anything bad about you, but if you quote a price like that, who wouldn't turn around and leave? Others' houses that are only ten minutes away from Tiananmen Square are only sold for three hundred yuan, and you're asking for nearly one thousand yuan..." Xu Damao complained with a look of dissatisfaction, and his pace gradually slowed down.

"Hey~ How can their houses compare to mine! Not only do they have no yard, some of the yards are pitifully small, only a few dozen square meters in total. My house has three rooms and a spacious yard. The conditions are much better than those! So my asking price of three or four hundred is very reasonable, right?" the landlord explained confidently.

"Having said that, but if your house is located a little further away, such as in the deep mountains or in a remote area, I'm afraid no one would be willing to buy it even for a hundred yuan..." Xu Damao curled his lips, showing no mercy to the other party.

"Hey, brother, don't be too demanding. This location is really good. It's right next to Nanluoguxiang, and the water and electricity facilities are complete. Moreover, the house was built only a few years ago, so it's quite new. Since you really want to buy it, I'll give you a sincere price - eight hundred yuan! It can't be any less, otherwise I really can't continue the negotiation." The landlord sighed helplessly, indicating that he had made the biggest concession.

The middle-aged man swung his knife to bargain without hesitation, and reduced the price by a full 150 yuan in one go!

"Eight hundred yuan...Brother, do you have a certificate for this yard?" Xu Damao asked suspiciously.

"Yes, yes. Don't worry, brother. We can go to the relevant department to handle the formalities together at any time." The middle-aged man replied quickly, and took out a small notebook from his arms and handed it to Xu Damao.

Xu Damao took the book, opened it carefully and looked at it carefully. After confirming that it was indeed the property certificate of this house.

"Brother, you have to walk around several times after leaving your yard, which is really inconvenient. And I just looked at those rooms. If I really buy them and move in, I'm afraid I will have to spend extra money to buy some things. Do you think there is room for negotiation on the price?" After pondering for a moment, Xu Damao started bargaining with the middle-aged man, trying to get a more favorable price.

"Well... I see that you really want to buy it, brother. So, I'll give you a base price of seven hundred and fifty, and it can't be lowered any further. If it goes any lower, it will be meaningless. Brother, if you think it's okay, then we can do the deal. If not, then it's up to you. This is my bottom line." The middle-aged man said with a determined look on his face.

The middle-aged man seemed eager to sell the house and even took the initiative to lower the price again.

"Well, good! Then let's be friends!"

Xu Damao hesitated for more than ten seconds, and finally slowly stretched out his right hand. Seeing this, the middle-aged man showed joy on his face, and quickly stretched out his right hand, and the two hands were tightly clasped together.

"Brother, when are we going to complete the handover formalities? You see, I'm quite pressed for time here."

The middle-aged man seemed a little anxious.

"Let's go now without further ado! Prepare the relevant documents and keys, and we'll set off immediately. After completing the formalities, we'll pay and take possession of the house on the spot. What do you think?"

"Brother, that's really nice! I'll treat you to lunch at noon to express my gratitude."

"You're welcome, bro! Do you have a car? If not, you can sit on the back of my bike and I'll take you there."

Xu Damao stepped onto the bike and gestured by tapping the back seat.

"Okay! Wait a moment, bro. I'll lock the door first."

The middle-aged man responded and turned around to lock the door.
