Several individuals are impressed by the luxurious properties and advanced technology. One person attempts to buy a house from "Lao Wang" (the fat man), initially offering 5000 taels, then escalating to 5000 taels plus a courtyard. The fat man feigns reluctance and dissatisfaction, hinting at further negotiation.

This fat man clearly wasn’t stupid, he also knew who the real wealthy person was. This guy was undoubtedly the richest among the three,

If anyone else were willing to bid, it would most likely be him.

Perhaps only this guy could offer the price I wanted.

Of course, the current price of nearly seven thousand taels was already beyond what I could afford.

Frankly, even I didn’t expect anyone to offer such a high price.

Of course, two thousand taels of that was offset with the courtyard house, meaning it’s effectively equal to seven thousand taels.

Even so, this was impressive because, as it stands, the courtyard house could sell easily for two thousand taels if word got out.

Because of this, you could say the house’s price had been raised to a high of seven thousand taels.

This price made all three of them a bit incredulous, especially the person who made the offer in the first place, who blurted out the current price in a moment of excitement. However, he couldn’t take it back since it was already announced, so he could only look at the fat man, waiting for his response.

Meanwhile, he thought to himself, just as the fat man had said, the property here would inevitably increase in value, and it wouldn’t be by just a fraction. After all, this area was gradually becoming the wealthiest neighborhood in the Capital City,

It’s safe to say everyone has their eyes on this place. If it were put up for sale, all the wealthy folks would gather, and certainly the officials would also want to purchase properties here.

Therefore, this place will symbolize status in the future.

This made them reconsider the situation, especially the one who made the initial bid, who now convinced himself,

Seven thousand taels it is. The price isn’t low, but definitely worth it since the fat man had renovated it.

He’s not stupid either, and he has a keen eye for value. The money spent on these renovations alone is worth two thousand taels. It’s authentic and valuable, especially the painting in the middle, which is already priced over five hundred taels.

However, it was clear the fat man was hesitant, not planning to sell, even though everyone had guessed his true purchase price wouldn’t exceed four thousand taels.

Yet they still weren’t sure if the fat man might sell, since keeping the house could potentially increase its value over time. Especially high-rise properties like this would certainly be in demand,

Without exaggeration, over forty percent of the properties here will be hard to come by in the future, and their prices will definitely increase again.

This just shows that these merchants have a truly sharp eye for value. In reality, it would indeed be the case.

The fat man thought so too; if he wasn’t short on cash, why would he part with such a fine property? As his gaze fell on the merchant he had his eye on, the guy also looked back at the fat man, with a hint of struggle in his eyes.

The fat man could see that the guy wanted to make an offer, but found the price too high, as expected. After all, the seven thousand taels was a huge sum to anyone who had to think carefully.

However, he believed that after some internal struggle, the guy would make a decision.

After all, such properties were not easily obtained, especially one as excellent as this, he had no fear that the other would not be tempted.

Time ticked away slowly, and the scene fell into an awkward silence, with all three pondering, and the fat man not in a hurry to respond. Then, suddenly, someone spoke up, and what he said instantly revitalized the fat man:

"This property is indeed impressive. I’m willing to offer seven thousand taels to directly purchase it.

I’m talking about silver, not using a house as collateral."

The guy had made it clear; even though the other bid had reached seven thousand taels, it included five thousand taels in cash plus a courtyard house,

but now this guy outright offered cash. Silver versus collateral, it’s obvious which is more tempting. After all, a house still needs to be sold to be converted into silver.

Although the house valued at two thousand taels wasn’t an issue, the allure of pure silver was even stronger.

As soon as he said that, the other guy next to him immediately expressed his dissatisfaction.

Okay? I offered five thousand taels plus a house, nearly totaling seven thousand taels, but then you jump in and offer the same seven thousand taels. It’s like he doesn’t even regard me, especially since I was the first to speak.

This was indeed quite unprincipled, but considering the other party’s status, he found it hard to say much, wanting to reprimand him, but realizing his status was much higher,

He had to swallow the bitter pill, unable to voice his grievances.

But of course, he wasn’t going to give up so easily.

As soon as the other guy called out the seven thousand taels, before the fat man could speak, his voice echoed once more, and his words instantly delighted the fat man.
