Chapter 145: The Chanel Apartment Worth 316 Million_3
After chatting over family matters with his mother for more than twenty minutes, Gu Heng reluctantly hung up the phone as his car had already been parked by the roadside at Sanlitun for several minutes...
Once he had the founding of his company arranged, he would directly purchase the most expensive property at Dayi Villa in Yangcheng City for more than 200 million, as a place for his parents to enjoy their retirement. It would also be more convenient for him to visit his old folks regularly.
....
While Gu Heng was on the phone, Xu Ying had already notified the sales staff at Sanlitun No.1 via WeChat.
As soon as they got out of the car, a middle-aged man and a young woman approached the vehicle, and Xu Ying hurriedly asked, "Is this Manager Wu?"
The middle-aged man nodded respectfully and then said with a smile, "You must be Secretary Xu, right?"
Xu Ying didn't bother with pleasantries but stepped aside to let Manager Wu's gaze fall on Gu Heng and introduced, "This is my boss, Gu Heng."
Manager Wu merely glanced briefly at Kim Jisoo, who was hanging on Gu Heng's shoulder, and then lowered his stance a bit more as he said, "Mr. Gu, hello, my surname is Wu, the sales manager of Sanlitun No.1 Apartment."
Looking at the hand that Manager Wu extended, Gu Heng shook it lightly.
"Mr. Gu, please come inside; we have prepared tea for you at the sales center."
Gu Heng waved his hand and replied, "No need, just take me to see the apartment."
Requesting to see the apartment directly was common, and Manager Wu was used to it. He then motioned with his right hand, "This way, Mr. Gu, we have reserved the elevator for you; after you, please."
It wasn't until Gu Heng started walking that Manager Wu slowly followed.
Sanlitun, as one of the most famous business districts in the capital, has an incredibly large flow of people...
Many people were waiting for the elevator...
Manager Wu quickly activated the reserved exclusive elevator, and during the descent, he introduced to Gu Heng, "Our Sanlitun No.1 has 44 private apartments, with the apartments starting from the 24th floor upwards, so this elevator is specially reserved as a VIP elevator."
"But currently, 41 apartments have already been sold, leaving only three, which are the three apartment types we have provided for you today, Mr. Gu."
Gu Heng remembered that Xu Ying had asked him to start with these on the way here, but he had been interrupted by his mother Xu Hong's call and hadn't looked at them yet.
He then said directly, "I haven't seen them, give me a brief introduction."
Manager Wu promptly responded, "The three types that are currently available are a 360 square meter large apartment, a 610 square meter extra large apartment, and a 1303 square meter Chanel co-branded extra large duplex apartment."
"1303 square meters?"
That could work...
Even just hearing the square meter figure made Gu Heng sense its considerable value...
1303 square meters, not to mention in the capital, even in a small third-tier city, would be worth tens of millions...
This is the capital...
Moreover, it is one of the most luxurious business districts in the capital...
No need to think about it; it must be worth over a hundred million.
Just as the elevator descended, Gu Heng said, "Let's go check out the duplex apartment then."
Manager Wu quickly nodded and led Gu Heng directly into the elevator...
.....
A few minutes later, as Manager Wu unlocked the passcode, a vast space unfolded before everyone.
Even though Gu Heng had prepared himself mentally, he was still taken aback by the sight of the apartment's grand hall...
The pure white main color scheme wasn't about luxury, rather it had a somewhat minimalist vibe...
Yet it struck a chord with Gu Heng's aesthetic preference.
He had never liked the opulent European style and preferred this type of modern decor.
Kim Jisoo had been floating around Gu Heng like a ghost, but upon seeing the scene before her, the hand on Gu Heng's arm involuntarily tightened, and her mouth slowly formed an "o" shape...
"Mr. Gu, this is our Chanel Apartment at Sanlitun No.1, please come in," said Manager Wu, who was keeping an eye on everyone's expressions and spoke with a touch of pride.
Every person who came here to view the apartments was a well-known wealthy individual, but even the top-tier wealthy showed varying degrees of surprise...
Gu Heng stepped into the interior.
"This apartment was designed and decorated after consultation with a well-known domestic designer and the Chanel Company. Although the highlight of this room is the Chanel luxury style, if Mr. Gu likes this apartment but is not satisfied with the decor, it can also be redesigned according to your own wishes."
Gu Heng didn't speak, but the satisfied look on his face couldn't escape Manager Wu's notice.
The thought made the corners of Manager Wu's mouth rise in a smile.
This Chanel Apartment hadn't been sold since it was completed, and there had rarely been any inquiries or viewings, largely because most people were intimidated by the enormous price tag. Now, seeing the satisfied look on Gu Heng's face, Manager Wu felt hopeful for a sale. If this multi-billion-dollar luxury property were sold, not only would his promotion and raise be just around the corner, but the commission alone would make him wake up laughing in his sleep.
As for whether Gu Heng had the ability to purchase, he wasn't worried. Anyone who came to view the property needed to provide proof of funds, which meant that the vast majority of those who appeared here had the purchasing power.
Whether the transaction would be successful depended on whether the client was satisfied or not.
"Mr. Gu, right this way, please."
Having said that, he led Gu Heng and Kim Jisoo, along with a few others, to the huge floor-to-ceiling windows in the living room.
Looking at the view outside, Kim Jisoo couldn't help but grip Gu Heng's arm a bit tighter, fiercely squeezing the soft flesh...
Seeing her excited demeanor, Gu Heng smiled and asked, "Beautiful, isn't it?"
"Beautiful!!"
Kim Jisoo nodded vigorously.
Manager Wu was not at all surprised by Kim Jisoo's reaction. His proud expression returned, and he was just about to start introducing the place when he heard Gu Heng ask, "How much for this apartment?" Continue reading on My Virtual Library Empire
Manager Wu was taken aback.
They had just walked in; what kind of move was it to ask for the price directly?
But he didn't dare to delay and said, "Rumors have set the price for our Chanel Apartment at 470 million, but that's just media fabrication. In reality, our Chanel No.1 is currently priced at 235,000 per square meter. This Chanel Apartment has a total area of 1,303 square meters, with a price tag of 306.2 million.
However, the renovation cost is calculated separately from the price of the apartment, and it's an additional 6,500 yuan per square meter. So, the total price is 316.47 million."
Hearing this price, Gu Heng wasn't too moved...
But Xu Ying and Kim Jisoo both swallowed hard...
300 million...
Xu Ying couldn't help but do some calculations in her mind...
With her annual salary of 600,000, she'd have to work for Gu Heng for over 500 years, which meant she would have had to start working for Gu Heng since the Ming Dynasty to afford such an apartment...
As for Kim Jisoo, she was doing similar calculations...
Considering she got 100,000 a day for accompanying Gu Heng...
She'd have to keep it up for nearly a hundred years to afford it...
"I'll take this place."
Xu Ying: "???"
Kim Jisoo: "???"
Manager Wu: "???"
All three cast shocked glances at Gu Heng.
Although Xu Ying had gotten used to Gu Heng's decisive, money's-no-object style, she couldn't help but stare at Gu Heng, her pupils dilating...
It was over 300 million, after all...
The most shocked was Manager Wu...
He had shown this apartment to others not 50 times, at least 30...
During that time, many had shown interest in buying.
But that was always after lengthy negotiations, just reaching a preliminary intention...
Who does it like Gu Heng, not even a minute into the place, not even having seen the second floor, deciding to buy after just a stroll through the hall?
Manager Wu now suspected that Gu Heng was toying with him...
But then he thought it unreasonable. Gu Heng was a verified super-rich buyer with the qualifications to purchase. Who gets stuffed and comes to play around with a salesperson?
Thinking this, Manager Wu could only hesitantly ask, "Mr. Gu, do you mean to say you want to buy this Chanel Apartment?"
"Yeah, I won't bargain either. 316 million, just round down the 6 million extra. Have someone bring the contract over. I'll wait here for you."
Once he was sure that Gu Heng wasn't joking with him, Manager Wu became incredibly excited, almost trembling...
This great fortune had finally come his way...
Nevertheless, Manager Wu reluctantly said, "Mr. Gu, 6 million might be a trifle sum for you, but I really can't make this decision. Why don't you rest here for a while as I call our leader?"
Gu Heng waved his hand: "Go on."
There was no rush for this small delay.
Others took months, even years to buy a house.
He only spent a few minutes. That was quite fast already, so waiting a little longer was fine.
