"Dreams are easy to talk about, but wait until you actually buy something before saying these things. I'm not a child anymore," Chen Wei silently read the message from Xu Lili, sighed quietly, and chose not to reply.
Talking about buying villas and luxury cars now is a bit premature. It's better to settle for something similar for now.
With that thought, Chen Wei decided to search online for the latest developments in the central city area.
He then checked the nearby schools, hospitals, shopping malls, and transportation, including subway stations, one by one, and compared them.
Buying a house is not a small matter; it's better to be cautious.
After looking for two or three hours, Chen Wei finally tentatively selected three properties: a Sunshine Town, a Clearwater Wood, and a City Garden.
Among them, City Garden and Sunshine Town were developed by well-known national real estate developers, while Clearwater Wood was developed by a local company in Yunzhou called Jinshengda. Although it's a local company, Jinshengda has already developed more than a dozen properties in Yunzhou, with good quality and reputation.
Sunshine Town is right next to the central park, with beautiful scenery and a nearby key primary school. However, the location is slightly off, and transportation may not be very convenient.
Clearwater Wood is along the planned subway line, and transportation will definitely be convenient once the subway is completed. However, there are no good schools or hospitals nearby, only a mall.
City Garden is located in the bustling center of the city, adjacent to the subway station and the central business district of the city. It also has schools and hospitals nearby. However, Chen Wei is worried that being too close to the business district might be noisy.
Currently, these three properties each have their pros and cons, and Chen Wei is not sure which one to buy. Moreover, these three properties have not officially opened for sale yet, so the specific prices are unknown. Additionally, details such as floor plans, common areas, greenery, and parking spaces are also unknown. He can only wait until the weekend to visit and inquire before making a final decision.
Zhou Yi traded for over two hours but didn't find any good opportunities. He only made a little over two hundred yuan, feeling frustrated.
Seeing Chen Wei browsing properties online, he asked, "Are you buying a house?"
Chen Wei responded with a sound of acknowledgment.
Since there weren't any good trading opportunities at the moment, Zhou Yi approached and asked, "Where are you planning to buy?"
"In the central city area," Chen Wei replied.
"Old Chen, are you really buying a house?" Zheng Junpeng overheard and joined the conversation.
"No choice, my girlfriend keeps urging me. If I don't buy soon, she might break up with me," Chen Wei said helplessly.
"Oh, you have a girlfriend?" Both Zheng Junpeng and Zhou Yi were surprised.
Even Zheng Junpeng, who rarely interacted with Chen Wei before, naturally didn't know Chen Wei had a girlfriend.
Chen Wei, who used to not make much money, was naturally assumed to be single.
"Why, can't I have a girlfriend?" Chen Wei felt speechless.
"It's not that, it's just... Which neighborhood are you eyeing?" Zheng Junpeng quickly changed the subject.
"I've temporarily looked at these three properties. As for which one to buy specifically, I'll decide after visiting them personally this weekend," Chen Wei pointed to the three properties on the website.
Zhou Yi and Zheng Junpeng glanced at them, and then Zheng Junpeng said, "These three properties probably won't be priced lower than twenty thousand per square meter, maybe even twenty-five thousand. Even if you buy an eighty-square-meter one, it'll cost two million, and you'll need a down payment of at least four or five hundred thousand. Well, I won't be able to afford it for a while."
Zheng Junpeng can earn one or two thousand yuan a month now, but he has only started making money in the past few months. Given the current situation, it will take him at least two years to save up five hundred thousand.
"Oh, the houses in the central city area are quite expensive! Chen Wei, with your current level, why not buy one in the eastern part of the city? Three to five million, that shouldn't be a big deal for you, right?" Zhou Yi said sarcastically.
Chen Wei smiled slightly and said, "Let's buy one first. When I have more money, I can always buy a better one later."
Zhou Yi was taken aback and felt a bit gloomy. Thinking about how he didn't know when he would be able to afford a house, let alone in the eastern part of the city, made him even more uncomfortable. He muttered, "Rich people!"
After saying that, he returned to his seat, cut a few tickets, feeling distracted and disheartened, and didn't have the mood to trade anymore.
Zheng Junpeng glanced at him, shook his head, smiled, and didn't say anything. He continued to talk to Chen Wei, "Actually, I think you don't need to go to the central city area to look at new houses now. The new houses now are all pre-sale, and it will take at least two to three years to deliver. With your current level, I don't think you'll even get to move in by then. Why don't you just buy one in the east directly? I think you should either go look at some second-hand houses or wait a bit and then go directly to the east to buy a new one."
After listening to this, Chen Wei contemplated for a while and said, "What you said makes sense. I really overlooked the delivery time of the property. However, my girlfriend doesn't want to buy a second-hand house, only a new one. And the houses in the east are too expensive. How can I afford it now? Oh well, let's go see this weekend and decide."
Zheng Junpeng probably understood a little, so he didn't say much. He patted Chen Wei on the shoulder and returned to his seat.
Chen Wei thought about it for a while, then checked the second-hand houses in the central city area online.
If it doesn't work out, he can discuss it with Xu Lili and consider buying a second-hand house first, maybe renovate it if necessary.
Just like Zheng Junpeng said, if he were to wait two or three years for a new house to be delivered, he might as well be able to afford one in the east of the city.
There's plenty of information on second-hand houses. Chen Wei spent two to three hours looking at them, finally noting down a few good options. If he has time over the weekend, he could contact an agent to go see the houses.
By this time, it was almost closing.
Chen Wei checked the stock app again, seeing that CASI's stock had barely risen above three yuan since the opening, almost dropping all day.
The stock price was hovering at three yuan.
Chen Wei shook his head, wondering at what price Wang Dongcheng finally sold his shares.
Just as he was thinking, Zhao Yang came in again.
With a grim face, he walked straight to Wang Dongcheng and said in a low voice, "Come with me."
Finishing his words, he turned and walked away.
Wang Dongcheng, expressionless, stood up and followed him out.
Once the two of them left, others started gossiping:
"Where did Wang Dongcheng finally sell his shares?"
"I couldn't quite see, but it seems like risk control forced him to liquidate. Anyway, he lost quite a bit."
"Wow, forced liquidation by risk control? That's tough! He's probably going to be fired."
There wasn't much sympathy for Wang Dongcheng's plight; instead, many seemed to derive pleasure from it.
Trading can be cruel sometimes. Making one wrong move can end one's entire trading career.
