A man named Hao Jianren, carrying three bags of his personal wealth, arrives in the Capital City. He notes the significantly improved security under Lin Yi's rule, making it safer to transport valuables. Hao Jianren seeks out a specific household, approaching the owner cautiously and inquiring about houses for sale as a pretext to gauge their willingness to sell.

If the other party mentions they have their own financial strength to demonstrate, and talks about how many pieces of silver they want to spend to buy a certain kind of house, at that moment, the other party might be moved by the silver they hear.

Once truly moved, they might actually sell the house to them.

And the man who heard these words, indeed reacted exactly as Hao Jianren had anticipated.

He directly showed a silly smile to the other party, then invited them inside:

"Hehe, Brother Hao, please come in."

Hearing these words, the man was also unceremonious, thanked the other party and walked inside. After entering, he did not glance around at his surroundings,

Although he was quite drawn to the place, he continuously restrained himself from looking around, after all, if he appeared too deliberate, it would surely arouse the other party’s suspicion. As it stands now, he merely let his gaze fall on the wooden chair.

This actually caused the other party to relax their vigilance greatly,

Especially seeing the other party heading directly towards the chair as if they were very familiar with the place, making the other party even more at ease, clearly thinking the person must have visited here before, had surely witnessed this place.

Otherwise, anyone visiting here for the first time would definitely be shocked by everything inside, even the person himself felt the same way initially,

He was shocked for a long time, and even after a long time he didn’t dare to touch anything inside, even at night, he only dared to sleep on the floor, and didn’t dare to sleep on the bed.

For fear that he might damage the bed or break something else, and now the guy walking in behaved in a way that clearly showed he was not like the former him,

And was not inexperienced, which made him a bit more fearful of Hao’s character,

Moreover, by the looks of it, this guy was dressed like someone wealthy, not someone like him who was poor, which made him more cautious.

Meanwhile, while looking at the other party, the vigilant intent also vanished, after all, what bad intentions could a wealthy man have?

Just like the previous fat boss, wasn’t he the same?

Treating him with kindness. He even told him that if he wanted to sell his house, he could offer a very high price, and the price offered was a whopping three thousand pieces of silver,

Such a price certainly left him astonished.

He deeply believed that wealthy people were indeed so easy to talk to, such good people.

At that moment, the guy Hao also sat down on the wooden sofa, looking at the man in front with a shy demeanor.

He couldn’t help but chuckle:

"No need to be nervous, my friend. I just want to know if there’s a house here for sale, and if so, I’m willing to purchase."

The guy even repeated what he said before, and this time, the shy man nodded:

"Alright, Brother, since that’s the case, I’ll be straightforward with you. Actually, there isn’t anyone willing to sell their house at present, because before you came, another brother visited,

And he told us that if anyone wished to sell, they could approach him.

Truth be told, Brother, there were many who have already sold their houses to that brother.

Moreover, that brother was very honest, offering us a very high price."

After hearing this, Hao Jianren immediately gained interest, and secretly wondered if the person mentioned was that fat guy.

Upon thinking, it seemed likely, otherwise why would the fat guy have so many houses?

Why would he have houses for sale like that?

Thinking about it like this, he understood, this was how the fat guy operated.

Simultaneously, he felt quite fortunate to have come to inquire today.

Otherwise, he might have been kept in the dark by that fat guy, and now he was quite curious to know how many pieces of silver the fat guy spent to buy that house?

This made him endlessly curious.

"Hehe, so my brother, do you know how much he offered? And how much did the houses sold to him cost in terms of silver?"

Upon hearing this, the honest man immediately gained interest, this was the behavior of honest people, after all, they didn’t hold any ill intentions,

Therefore when someone asked them, they didn’t conceal anything, instead, they showed excitement and said to Hao Jianren with enthusiasm:

"Okay, Brother, if only you knew how generous he was to us, also treating us really well, never deliberately suppressing our price, and the price reached as high as two thousand eight hundred pieces of silver.

I understood at that moment that although the house was good, and on the fifth floor, the price was extremely high, reaching two thousand eight hundred pieces of silver, what an astronomical figure!

To be honest, when we heard this price, we were completely amazed, scared silly,

We had never seen so much silver before, and never dared to imagine there could be a day we’d have so much silver."

However, after hearing these words, Hao Jianren froze on the spot, the words ’two thousand eight hundred pieces of silver’ echoing continuously in his mind,

Well then, this guy was indeed ruthless, spent only two thousand eight hundred pieces of silver to buy those fifty percent of the house.

Moreover, this guy after buying the house, simply renovated it a bit, and then turned it over to sell at an eight thousand pieces of silver high price,

He believed the renovation prices altogether surely wouldn’t exceed four thousand pieces of silver, this resale directly made a profit of double,

Goodness, this kind of money-making speed truly shocked him. At the same time, he deeply sensed the fat guy’s cunning.

"Oh, to offer such a high price, hehe, seems like this brother really is quite generous, so I wonder how much the other houses sold for?"

Saying this, the sweethearted man thought for a moment before opening his mouth, enumerating like treasures:

"Elder Zhao’s house on the first floor sold for two thousand pieces of silver.

Brother Wang’s house on the third floor sold for two thousand two hundred pieces of silver.

Sister Liu’s house on the fourth sold for two thousand six hundred pieces of silver.

As for the others? I don’t know.

Oh, right, at that time the Shopkeeper also said if my house was willing to sell, he could offer three thousand pieces of silver."

Upon mentioning this number, the man’s hand couldn’t help but tremble, this was three thousand pieces of silver,

Saying he wasn’t moved was false, he now even considered selling the house, knowing that once these three thousand pieces of silver are in hand, it could allow him to comfortably spend the rest of his life.

Moreover, once he has these three thousand pieces of silver, the wish to marry would not be difficult to fulfill.

But at this moment, Hao Jianren cursed that fat guy thoroughly.

Well then, he had just offered over five thousand pieces of silver for a three-story house, only to be told now that fat guy spent just two thousand two hundred pieces of silver to obtain it.

This was again a resale making a double profit,

Well then, he nearly fell for it, if he truly found out he spent two thousand extra pieces of silver to buy a house, he’d surely regret it?

Thinking of this, he felt deeply fortunate, while looking at the honest man, he revealed a silly smile:

"Hehe, seems like that brother didn’t lie to you all, although the house is great, the price he offered was very high, just that this house indeed looks quite nice, but the price is probably worth around two thousand pieces of silver, he even offered three thousand, that’s already very generous."

Upon hearing these words, the honest man’s face immediately showed a joyful expression:

"Isn’t it? I said that Shopkeeper was very kind,"
