Richest Man: Divine-Grade Reconstruct System Chapter 1388 - 1205: Surprise (2)

I’m not actually trying to make the other party add more silver, but I was truly shocked by him. Even if he didn’t add a single penny, just the three thousand taels of silver he offered.

I would definitely sell the house to him because I just agreed with him.

But this old bro is different; he doesn’t just raise the price once, but again and again, each time higher than the last.

Starting with a few hundred taels of silver, how could this not be shocking to him?

You have to understand. Nowadays, for them, never mind raising the price one hundred taels at a time, even one tael at a time is beyond their capacity to bear!

I’ve worked hard for a year and can’t even save one tael, yet he opens with a high price of several hundred taels, which is enough to scare the life out of him.

Of course, he didn’t wait for me to say these words before starting again, especially when he saw me hesitating. Hao Jianren was completely impatient, watching me then firmly tapped his forehead and started speaking.

"You tell me, little brother, as long as the price you suggest isn’t too outrageous or harsh, I’ll agree, even if you raise the price some more with me, I’ll consider it.

It’s indeed because I really took a liking to your house, if one were to sell it, it saves me from searching all around."

Only now did the guy come to his senses, looking at Hao Jianren in front of him, he couldn’t help but speak with a bit of laughter and tears.

"I honestly don’t mean it, since I’ve agreed with you, I’ll sell the house to you, but regarding the price.

I dare not ask for more, your previous price of three thousand taels offered by that chubby old brother was already an exceptionally high price, so let’s say, I’ll sell it to you for the same amount of three thousand taels.

However, later on, please explain to that old guy, it’s absolutely not that I’m unwilling to sell the house to him, it’s just that you just inquired about it, I can’t be caught up in other matters."

Well, this guy’s thought process is indeed something, enough to make Hao Jianren feel like not intending to deceive him, and even considering whether to add more to the price.

Or directly quote him five thousand taels, how about that?

But this thought flashed through his mind without speaking it out.

He’s a merchant, a downright merchant, he won’t engage in those massively loss-making transactions, frankly speaking, as long as there’s profit to be made, he could do anything.

It is for this reason, facing such tremendous profits nowadays, he naturally wouldn’t have reason to further compensate the price.

If it wasn’t for just quoting the price of three thousand five hundred taels, then no matter what the other party says today, he would definitely have bought their house for three thousand taels.

But he thought again and shook his head, dismissing this inner thought.

You must know that if he can make money here now, it has very much to do with the current context.

The fat man could achieve what he has today with so much money because he gained the advantage, and another point is his reputation among the people was very good,

It was precisely for this reason that this allowed him to make so much silver, a house bought for three thousand taels and could be resold for eight thousand taels at once, that price, that profit, who wouldn’t be tempted—it would be fake not to be.

"Old brother is not someone who doesn’t keep his word.

Since he already agreed to the price of three thousand five hundred taels.

Then this price certainly cannot change again.

If it changes, then old brother wouldn’t be acting decent.

Rest assured, you’ve already seen, the family’s well-off and doesn’t lack this fool’s pair of dates,

Although several hundred taels of silver are not a small amount, for old bro it’s nothing significant, considering your life right now isn’t very pleasant, why not use this silver to improve it?"

While saying this, he directly took out two bags of gold from his arms.

Without even thinking, he handed them over to the other party and asked:

"Take this gold, it should total around three thousand five hundred taels here.

Do you have any paper here so we can write a note and finalize the sale of this house?"

Nowadays, house transactions aren’t that detailed; there are no specific individuals entrusted with registration, especially upon the completion of this new residential area,

There’s even less responsibility, and frankly speaking, it hasn’t reached that point yet, no one’s fully managing it.

For this reason, if two parties agree on a note, the matter is settled, as long as the two have no remarks, there’s no one to cause trouble,

This makes it extremely simple, of course, whether someone will forge agreements, that’s unknown, perhaps some might do it,

However, most people wouldn’t dare to encroach, though no one from the government manages this affair, if they really sue, it would certainly be a very troublesome matter.

For instance, even in the present-day government, they hold sympathy for the weak, if the people accuse you of privately occupying someone else’s house, it’s neither insignificant nor trivial, should you be punished at that time, then it wouldn’t be worth it.

Furthermore, upon hearing Hao Jianren’s words, this somewhat naive man suddenly brightened up and immediately said happily:

"Yes, yes, we really have it. After the house was distributed to us, we found a stack of paper in this room, and this paper is spotless white, which was placed here by the emperor’s specific instruction.

He said it’s for us to practice literacy and understanding, not only is there paper, but also a book.

While saying this, the guy already dashed toward something resembling a desk, carefully bringing out the paper from inside, and when the others saw this paper, their eyes lit up all at once.

This is actually great quality white paper, although the current emperor has already invented this paper, but such good quality white paper is still rarely seen, it’s extremely scarce.

It was for this reason, seeing this paper, that made Hao Jianren so excited, not to mention anything else, the price of just this stack of white paper must be about a hundred taels of silver,

And this is still a place without a market price; he absolutely did not expect that it would appear here, in a place where commoners reside.

And if it wasn’t for seeing a greater way to profit, otherwise, he would undoubtedly find every way possible to collect all the white paper from the hands of these civilians, and then slightly sell them.

No need for much, just collecting all the white paper in this small district together, he could earn a fortune, at least it would amount to a thousand taels of silver.

But now this one house’s price is sufficient to make him immensely wealthy, this makes him lose interest in this for a moment.

Surely, while he’s not contemplating about selling white paper anymore, having this white paper in hand, it notably enhances status,

At the same time, he’s thinking that after securing the house, he’ll promptly work to gather everyone’s white paper as one collective pile, once he has enough white paper, his status will surely soar greatly.

Perhaps at that time, many wealthy and noble families will rush to come to request a batch of paper from him.
