"No need." Ye Hao laughed.
"Sir, weren't you just about to buy this villa? Why are you like this now?" The elderly man in his seventies was anxious. He had completely forgotten his previous thoughts. If he hadn't wanted to earn a bit more, how could he have counter-bidded against that young man, in the end driving away Ye Hao, who originally wanted to buy the villa?
"It's not that I don't want to buy it, it's that you're overthinking it, sir. If you weren't trying to get a bit more, we would already be closing the deal." Ye Hao remarked.
"Yes, yes, it's my confusion. Please don't blame this old man, sir. You see, I've got one foot in the grave, and maybe in a few days I'll be at peace in the earth. Please don't argue with this old man, alright?" The elderly man anxiously said. Honestly, his boss was desperate for money, or they wouldn't sell this villa with such sentimental value.
Ye Hao heard this and looked at Lin Ruyu.
Ye Hao didn't want to haggle any further with this old man since they had already viewed the villa and found it quite suitable to live in.
Lin Ruyu nodded. Though in her opinion, the villa was expensive, it was worth the price. Besides, the old man was indeed elderly, so they might as well pay earlier and let him go and do whatever he wishes with the money.
"Just let it go! Let's pretend the earlier scene never happened." Ye Hao said.
"Then sir..."
"I told you, I'll take the villa. Let's get the lawyer to handle the transfer of ownership immediately. I'll transfer the money to you right away." Ye Hao said.
"Ah! Sir, are you sure?" The elderly man was amazed by Ye Hao's straightforwardness; it felt somewhat like a dream.
"I've always been sure, it's just that you're a bit slow to act, sir." Ye Hao laughed.
"Alright, alright, I'll handle it right now. Please come to the lounge for a cup of tea." The elderly man escorted Ye Hao and the group to the lounge with great respect.
Ye Hao did not stand on ceremony, knowing the villa would soon be his. He led the ladies into the lounge.
The ladies excitedly started exploring the villa upstairs and downstairs. While they went to check the rooms, Ye Hao had already had the eighth-generation system scan for any problems, otherwise, he wouldn't feel at ease letting the girls wander around this unfamiliar villa.
Xia Zhu went to check the rooms, Su Qing to the backyard, Lin Ruyu oversaw the overall situation, Fang Ni checked the kitchen, and Sun Mei joined in to check the rooftop for strategic points or high-rise buildings around so that Ye Hao's enemies wouldn't take a shot from afar.
Zheng Guang went down to the basement to check for any hazardous flammable materials.
The elderly man soon returned with a middle-aged man.
The middle-aged man was well-dressed, carrying a briefcase. He was thin and tall, and upon entering the lounge, he extended his hand towards Ye Hao and greeted, "Hello sir, I'm Wen Wengao, the property rights attorney for this villa. Before you make the transaction payment, I have some questions for you."
Wen Wengao had a polite handshake with Ye Hao and greeted him again.
"What questions?" Ye Hao asked with a smile on his lips.
"I would like to ask, sir, whether you are buying this villa voluntarily or is there someone forcing you to do so?" Wen Wengao was a diligent lawyer, fearing Ye Hao and the others might be coerced into buying, which could complicate the dealings later.
"It's voluntary." Ye Hao nodded.
"And sir, are you aware of the selling prices of this villa compared to nearby properties?"
"Overall, isn't three hundred million off?"
"Yes, sir, however, we must emphasize here that you can only reside on this land and villa for seventy years. After seventy years, the land will be reclaimed by the state for usage as per state needs." Explained Wen Wengao.
"I understand." Ye Hao nodded, accepting that in society today, there's no permanent land ownership. While it hasn't been taken back today, it could be tomorrow.
Ye Hao was quite satisfied with having seventy years to live on this land upon purchasing it.
"Since you are aware, sir, let's proceed with the process!" Wen Wengao suggested.
"Alright." Ye Hao nodded.
"Here are two contracts, please review them, and if there are no issues, sign them. Additionally, here is a property transfer certificate, which will henceforth serve as proof of ownership, equivalent to the house deed, fully valued at three hundred million." Wen Wengao fetched another document from the briefcase.
Ye Hao nodded, the eighth-generation system scanned and ensured there were no discrepancies in the contracts and documents.
Ye Hao straightforwardly signed the contract, using Fang Ni's name.
The reason Ye Hao did this was to minimize trouble. Otherwise, if the higher-ups knew he was spending three hundred million to buy a luxury villa, there would definitely be talk.
Although he didn't care about such gossip, it wasn't pleasant to hear nonetheless.
Besides, since Fang Ni was a local in Yanjing, the paperwork would proceed much quicker.
After all this busy work, Ye Hao made the payment and received the property deed, and Lin Ruyu and the ladies finished their inspections.
Wen Wengao and the elderly man took the money and left; after all, the villa wasn't theirs anymore, so staying would only bring an unnecessary sense of sadness.
After watching them leave, Ye Hao smiled and asked, "So, what should we set up in the house?"
Ye Hao liked the warmth of a cozy home, and any place that needed a change, he would change without hesitation to avoid eye and mood sores.
"We're still missing a 4D effect display. Did you bring any quilts from Peng City?" Lin Ruyu asked.
"I did." Ye Hao nodded.
"Then there's not much else lacking. However, Hao, do you think we can encircle this small valley to make a large estate? We could even try growing vegetables in the future.
"Haha, that's no problem at all. By the way, I noticed you all enjoy swimming. How about digging a pool while we're at it?" Ye Hao chuckled as he asked.
"That sounds good." The girls nodded happily in agreement with Ye Hao's suggestion.
"Then let's do it! Let's sort out the house's state first; I'll have someone dig the pool and put up the walls." Ye Hao said gleefully.
The girls quickly followed Ye Hao's instructions to clean up the rooms and the lounge.
They personally took care of organizing to get familiar with where things were in the house, to avoid not being able to find things when needed later.
Seeing them busy, Ye Hao called Shangguan Longyi, asking him to find people for excavation and fencing.
Shangguan Longyi learned that Ye Hao had bought a villa in Yanjing and immediately came over to check out the villa's environment.
"Hao, truly wealthy! Three hundred million seems like scraps in your hands." Upon arriving at Dragon and Phoenix Castle and hearing the price from Ye Hao, Shangguan Longyi exclaimed in awe.
