A black Ford was parked outside 146 piccadilly.
Then, a plump middle-aged man got out of the car in a hurry.
He walked to the back door of the car and opened the door for the young man in the back seat.
"Mr. Su."
Bill said eagerly," This is the building. Everything you want is here.”
Su Xiu sized up the house and nodded slightly.
After entering the door, there was a huge lawn garden, and behind it was the main building.
It was an exquisite villa with three floors and an area of more than 500 square meters.
The house was located in the middle of piccadilly, next to the crown prince.
The location was excellent, and the environment was excellent.
However, he had not seen the interior of the house yet, so Su Xiu was not in a hurry to come to a conclusion.
"Mr. Bill, let's go in and take a look first.”
Su Xiu turned to look at Bill Ed and said with a smile," It looks pretty on the outside. If the inside is the same as the outside, I think I'll buy it."”
"Of course, of course!"
Bill was ecstatic and hurriedly led Su Xiu into the house.
Bill was like a considerate butler as he opened the door of the villa for Su Xiu.
What entered his sight was a huge and wide hall. There was a beautiful crystal ceiling hanging above it. There were sofas, cabinets, tables, and chairs. All of them were well-made high-end furniture.
Apart from the living room, there was also a kitchen, two living rooms, three toilets, and five guest rooms on the first floor.
"The rooms on the first floor are for servants.”
Bill immediately said," If you need it, I can recruit some servants to take care of your daily life.”
"I want to go upstairs and take a look."
Su Xiu said casually.
"Oh, of course."
Bill made an inviting gesture and led Su Xiu to the second floor.
"Mr. Su."
As he showed Su Xiu around the house, Bill said attentively," The structures of the houses in this area are all similar, especially this house, which is almost identical to the residence of the Prince of Wales 'family next door. Buying this house is definitely worth it.”
"Not bad."
Su Xiu, who had also visited the second and third floors, nodded slightly with a satisfied expression.
After walking around, it was just as Bill had said.
The furniture, water, and electricity were all available, completely meeting Su Xiu's needs.
The only problem now was…
"Then, how much is the price? Mr. Bill."
"Twenty thousand pounds."
Bill hurriedly said when he saw Su Xiu asking the question he was most concerned about.
"Twenty thousand pounds?"
Su Xiu raised his eyebrows slightly.
He had done his homework before coming here.
There was no Soviet Union in this era, so Britain naturally could not provide any social welfare.
The lives of the people at the bottom were also extremely difficult.
For example, miners earned about 30 shillings per week.
That was 120 shillings per month. According to the calculation, one pound was equivalent to 20 shillings, and one shilling was equivalent to 12 pence.
That was equivalent to six pounds a month.
And this was the high-income group.
If he was a milkman, his weekly salary would only be nine shillings.
If they were renting a house, they could rent a one-bedroom apartment for 20 shillings a month.
The annual expenses were 12 pounds.
However, if it was to buy a house, it would cost at least one to two hundred pounds.
If he wanted to own a house, it would cost at least five to six hundred pounds.
Most of the people who lived in the famous Bigui Garden in London were British nobles.
House prices were naturally incomparable.
But no matter how expensive it was, it couldn't be a hundred times worse.
He had only earned less than 150,000 pounds in total, and you asked for 20,000? What a joke.
"Mr. Su."
Bill's heart skipped a beat when he saw Su Xiu frowning. He hurriedly explained," This is piccadilly after all. The house prices will always be more expensive.”
"That can't be so ridiculous, right?”
Su Xiu stared at him for a long time and said faintly," This house is about 2,000 pounds in other places. Even if it's slightly more expensive in piccadilly, the average price is about 10,000 pounds. Even with the furniture, it would only add another thousand pounds at most.”
"Mr. Bill, do you think that I'm a foreigner who's easy to bully?”
"No, no, no, I definitely didn't mean that.”
Bill hurriedly waved his hand and said with sweat all over his forehead," Mr. Su, I definitely didn't mean that.”
" Twelve thousand pounds."
Su Xiu interrupted him and said rudely,"For John's sake, I'll give you an additional 1000 pounds.”
Bill wanted to cry but had no tears. This was not how the score was calculated.
As soon as he heard Su Xiu speak, he knew that Su Xiu was definitely not a layman who knew nothing about housing prices.
The data that the other party said was generally correct.
But to be honest, he really didn't want to cheat anyone!
After all, Su Xiu was introduced by John. No matter how short of money he was, he would not scam him.
It was indeed satisfying to kill people who were familiar with each other, but killing too many of them would ruin his reputation.
In his line of work, a long-term reputation was far more important than temporary benefits.
" Fifteen thousand pounds."
Bill gritted his teeth and said helplessly," Mr. Su, you have to know that the price of this location is definitely not that low. After all, the Crown Prince's family lives next door.”
He originally wanted to bid 15000 pounds.
The reason why he said 20,000 pounds was because he wanted to add,'Since you're John's friend, I'll give you 15,000 pounds.'
This way, he could not only sell the other party a favor, but also gain the initiative.
However, who would have thought that Su Xiu would directly turn the tables.
Instead, he seized the initiative.
This made his current bid of 15000 pounds a little bitter.
"12000 pounds."
Su Xiu did not waver at all. His words were emotionless." Mr. Bill, I chose to ask you to help me find a house because of John's recommendation. But you have to know that you are not the only real estate agent on this street.”
"I'm not the only real estate agent.”
Bill smiled bitterly, but he still gritted his teeth and insisted,"But I can assure you that there is only one house in London with such a good location like mine. For God's sake, how about 14000 pounds?”
"12000 pounds."
Su Xiu said calmly," I won't pay a single cent more. If it really doesn't work, I'll find someone else. I think I can get the same house at a lower price from someone else.”
"13000 pounds!"
Seeing that Su Xiu was unwilling to give in, Bill gritted his teeth again." I can't go any lower.”
"I'm sorry."
Su Xiu looked regretful. He turned around and walked out." It seems like we're not fated to be friends.”
"Stop! Stop!"
Bill hurriedly stopped him and shouted,"12000 pounds! Deal!"
"Deal."
Su Xiu turned around and smiled." Mr. Bill, did you bring the contract?"”
"Oh my God."
Bill wanted to cry but had no tears. He smiled bitterly and said," Su, you're really a shrewd businessman.”
"Don't be discouraged, my friend."
Su Xiu patted his shoulder." Don't forget that I still have a manor to buy from you.”
"Alright then."
Bill nodded helplessly.
In fact, he could still earn 12000 pounds.
But for some reason, he felt that he was at a disadvantage.
As for Su Xiu, he actually didn't care about the difference of one to two thousand pounds.
Anyway, the capital was only 500 dollars.
To him, the difference between 10,000 pounds and 20,000 pounds was no more than buying a house for 50 dollars or 100 dollars.
The reason why he had to haggle was purely because he did not want others to think that he was a fat sheep that needed to be slaughtered.
