He inspected them and found some were indeed rotten, but they were only those that had been dropped and bruised on the ground when picked.
They weren't naturally spoiled, and he quickly discarded the rotten ones, finding seven or eight in total. Fortunately, it wasn't many.
Having finished this, he closed the storehouse door and prepared to look at houses.
Now that he had money, he naturally wanted to buy a good one.
So, he searched on his phone for good real estate developments in the area.
The best houses in the area were undoubtedly villas.
There was a real estate company that built both villa complexes and ordinary residential areas.
He checked the company's reputation and found it to be quite good, so he decided to visit their developments first.
Following the navigation, he arrived at the sales office.
This company's properties had been completed for several months, but half the houses were still unsold.
In this day and age, being able to afford a house was still uncommon.
Since he had arrived in a van and was dressed plainly,
the security guard on duty didn't greet him with much enthusiasm, seeming rather listless.
"Sir, are you here to view houses?"
Just as Liu Yifeng was about to speak, the staff member's expression suddenly lit up. They became energetic and walked over proactively.
At first, Liu Yifeng thought she was welcoming him. To his surprise, the staff member walked past him to a luxury car and, bowing and scraping to a man wearing a thick gold chain, said, "Hello sir, are you here to view houses?"
The same words, yet the feeling was completely different.
At this moment, a woman got out of the passenger seat of the car. She swayed her hips as she walked to the man's side and said dismissively to the staff member, "Are we here to view houses if not to look at you?"
The staff member, far from being offended, smiled and invited them in.
This month's sales performance depended entirely on this couple.
After all, those who could afford luxury cars, even if they didn't buy a villa, would certainly buy an ordinary house.
As for Liu Yifeng, he was completely ignored because, in her eyes, he was unlikely to buy a house.
Spending time and energy on him would be a waste of her time.
Therefore, as she passed Liu Yifeng, she casually told him to look around as he pleased and entered the sales office lobby.
She then enthusiastically began to introduce the properties to the couple.
Liu Yifeng was surprised to be so overlooked, as he genuinely intended to buy a house.
Did people who dressed and drove plainly not deserve to buy houses?
If it weren't for netizens praising the quality of this real estate company's constructions, as well as their excellent landscaping and security, he would have left long ago to look elsewhere.
This company was unlike others that, when their developments were newly built, would hire young, handsome security guards as a facade to attract buyers.
Once the houses were sold, they would immediately replace them with elderly guards who collectively had fewer than seven teeth.
In an actual emergency, it was unclear whether the guards would save them or they would end up helping the guards.
This company was different. The security guards at the opening were the same as those after the houses were sold, unless they voluntarily resigned, they wouldn't change guards easily.
Therefore, despite being neglected, he did not leave and followed them inside.
After all, he wasn't buying a house because of the salesperson, but because of the quality of the property.
If he could find a house he liked, he could overlook the salesperson's attitude.
He then began to examine the sand table. Since there were villa and ordinary residential areas, there were two different sand tables in the lobby.
Whichever type of house one wanted to buy determined which sand table to look at.
Liu Yifeng was interested in villas, so he went directly to the villa sand table.
Admittedly, the villas looked very grand from the outside, and the landscaping was also well done.
"Miss, not only is our villa area in a prime location, but the green coverage accounts for fifty percent of the entire villa complex, offering truly beautiful scenery.
Our villa area also has a dedicated morning run zone, so you don't have to worry about encountering dangers while running outdoors.
Therefore, our villas are also very popular. Out of one hundred villas, only half remain, with a sales rate of fifty percent.
The transaction rate for villas from other real estate companies doesn't exceed forty percent in a year, which clearly shows our villas are more favored, all built on word-of-mouth.
Buying a villa from us means you truly have discerning taste!" The staff member first praised their company to the skies and then flattered the couple.
The woman was immediately swayed: "Honey, let's buy a villa here, okay?"
Seeing the cooing woman, the man repeatedly comforted her: "Darling, don't rush, let me ask first!"
He then turned to the staff member and asked, "What types of layouts do you have? What are the sizes, and how much per square meter?"
"Our houses are all north-south facing, with the same layout. Each has three floors, covering over five hundred and twenty square meters, including the courtyard.
The courtyard has a garage, an outdoor swimming pool, and space for planting flowers and plants.
The price is eighteen thousand per square meter, making the total for a unit around nine million three hundred thousand.
If you, sir, decide to purchase, I can request a five percent discount from the manager, which would save you over four hundred thousand!" The staff member, sensing an opportunity, spoke with great enthusiasm.
Upon hearing the price, the man immediately frowned: "What kind of crappy house is this to be so expensive?
I just looked elsewhere, and they had villas with equipment no worse than yours for only twelve thousand per square meter. Yours is a third more expensive, are you trying to rob us?"
"Sir, our villas are located close to the city center, and they are already renovated. Most of the brands used are high-end, and there have never been any quality issues. As the saying goes, you get what you pay for. Since we dare to set such a price, it means our houses are worth it," the staff member replied.
Liu Yifeng, however, had taken a liking to the properties. He greatly admired the landscaping; walking in felt like entering a five-star scenic area.
Living here every day would surely bring happiness.
"Could you please tell me which houses are still available?" He planned to choose a well-located one, then view the house, and if there were no major issues, he would buy it.
The staff member, however, sounded impatient: "Sir, can't you see I have other customers?"
