Chapter 144: Chapter 144 Why does this sound so comforting? (Added more for Alliance Hierarch Only as Smoke Disperses)

“Never would have guessed Brother Yan was a Feng Shui Master!” Wang Hao said, dramatically widening his eyes, “Not many people know Feng Shui these days! Brother Yan is quite impressive!”

Indeed, once he heard how much Wang Hao admired him, Peng Yongyan about believed his own hype—

“Look here,” Peng Yongyan continued, “The high-rise on the west side is shorter than the one on the east. In Feng Shui, there’s an old saying: Azure Dragon on the left, White Tiger on the right, Vermilion Bird in front, and Black Turtle behind. The Dragon must rise among the clouds, so it has to be tall. The Tiger needs to crouch lower than the Azure Dragon. The Black Turtle is heavy, did you notice how large the high-rise at the back is? The Vermilion Bird needs to fly, so there must be nothing blocking the front! What do you call this? This is like a man-made treasure bowl layout right here in the city center, featuring complete Azure Dragon, White Tiger, Vermilion Bird, and Black Turtle—great location!”

Wang Mengfei was also quite shocked, surprised he said, “Where did you get all this Feng Shui knowledge from?”

“Oh well, just bits and pieces here and there!” Peng Yongyan laughed heartily, noticed he had piqued Wang Mengfei’s interest, and got even more excited, “Selling houses, you see, one must know a bit about Feng Shui! And guess what? Right after I explained it to them, that group wanted to buy houses on the spot! The best Feng Shui ones I showed them first were P1 and P2, located to the south-east, great views, unobstructed on all sides, and very convenient transportation. It’s quite nice. Unfortunately, those two buildings were phase one, and they’re all sold out.”

Wang Hao nodded vigorously, “That’s really a pity…”

“Of course, I was even thinking of getting a villa,” Peng Yongyan shook his head in regret and continued, “Another good spot is this one here, Building P15, with A1 in the southeast corner providing shelter from wind and rain. In Feng Shui terms, you say, let the Azure Dragon rise high, not allowing the White Tiger to be higher! Brings nobility and prosperity!”

Wang Mengfei exclaimed, “This house is that good!”

Peng Yongyan laughed, “Of course!”

He was raving so extravagantly, as if he had reached the peak of his life, and just then, a fat man wearing a suit entered through the door.

The fat man, who seemed to weigh over 200 pounds, had a red nose and wore a gold chain around his neck. He swaggered in and immediately started laughing as he approached Wang Hao’s table.

“Brother Yan, I’ve arrived.” The fat man sneakily glanced at Wang Mengfei, his face suddenly showing a lecherous expression, subtly raised his eyebrows at Peng Yongyan, then said with a laugh, “Oh my, sorry to disturb you while you’re busy with personal matters, look at this trouble.”

“Ah, not a problem at all,” Peng Yongyan promptly introduced him to Wang Hao, “Allow me to introduce, this is Mr. Liu, Mr. Liu, my client, planning to buy a house. I was just around and called him over.”

Wang Hao and Wang Mengfei exchanged glances—What’s going on?

Does this mean we get to watch you make a sale right here?

Alright then! Please, begin your show, Brother Yan!

“Okay, okay,” Mr. Liu greeted Wang Hao and Wang Mengfei cheerfully, then turned to Peng Yongyan, “Brother Yan, I liked a house before, you said it wasn’t possible, what if I buy one in Golden Stone Town?”

“Oh man, buying a house, you have to pick carefully!” Peng Yongyan nonchalantly pulled out his phone, set it on the table for Mr. Liu to see, “I think with your ability, Mr. Liu, you should hurry and grab a villa! The villas in our development are almost sold out! Prices are changing every day! Not to mention, just these 149 sqm intermediate units, absolutely top-notch!”

Oh my, isn’t the villa gifted by the fat man just like these? Let’s listen to what this guy has to say!

“Is it that good?” Mr. Liu asked curiously, “Can you explain?”

“Sure thing,” Peng Yongyan started, “You see, our country’s regulations, any house over 168 sqm has a deed tax of four percent, but for this 149 sqm, it’s within 168, so the deed tax is only 1.5 percent. Adding up the numbers, with the housing prices now, see the difference? Now the 149 sqm units have risen to nine million, 1.5 percent is 135,000. But the end units, those are now fourteen million, at four percent, that’s 560,000! The difference here is 425,000!”

“Holy crap, that’s quite a bargain!” Mr. Liu exclaimed, “That’s really worth it!”

Wang Hao also listened excitedly, “Man, the fat man really is our true Brother! Although we’ll have to pay for the villa eventually, these taxes can indeed save a lot!”

Then another calculation—wait, that’s not right!

The fat man bought six units, each one averaging a two-million increase, all six together…

Dammit, this guy made twelve million just in these two days! Holy crap, this villa money…

Indeed, just as he was thinking about it, Brother Hao received a WeChat message: “Brother Hao, you’re simply amazing! In just these couple of days, my house made a clear profit of over ten million yuan! Hahaha, hanging out with Brother Hao definitely has its perks!”

Wang Hao: “When I have enough money, you must sell it to me at the price you bought it at, no price hikes allowed!”

Ren Xing: “What are you saying, Brother Hao! Thanks to you, my family made a clean thirty million yuan from coal, and I’ve earned another ten million from the house. My dad said if I dare to take your money, he will break my leg! Brother Hao, please spare me!”

Wang Hao: “…”

Oh, how can one feel embarrassed…

If it’s free, why not take it!

Just as Wang Hao was feeling elated, on the other side, Peng Yongyan was also speaking extravagantly, “Mr. Liu, consider this house layout again, perfectly square. The garage our developers built was exactly 2.35 meters high, which by national standards must be at least 2.4 meters to count as residential area. Just this garage alone is equivalent to giving away around sixty square meters for free! Just think about it, in Zhonghai City, how much is a parking spot worth? And how about a garage?”

Mr. Liu kept nodding, “Makes sense! Makes sense!”

Wang Hao couldn’t stop smiling either, “Oh my, why does this sound so satisfying?”

Peng Yongyan continued, “Moreover, this house, the third-floor terrace, can be enclosed adding over twenty square meters, plus the rooftop garden provided for free. When you buy this villa, if you install an elevator later, it will go straight from the garage to the rooftop sunroom, completely interconnected, absolutely grand and awesome!”

Yes, yes, install an elevator! It has to have an elevator!

It will be convenient when our parents grow older!

“Yeah, no wonder it sells so well,” Mr. Liu stroked his chin, “It really seems necessary to get one, especially with the prices rising so quickly, I really need to hurry! By the way,” he said, looking mysteriously at Peng Yongyan, “How about it, Brother Yan, Master Yan? I’ve heard that the reason your properties appreciate so fast is because you’re excellent at feng shui. I heard even Manager Zhao listens to you. Could you pick a good spot for me?”

Wang Hao: “…”

Manager Zhao? Zhao Fang, right?

Wang Mengfei at the side: “Brother Yan, you’re really impressive!”

Wang Hao: “…”

Damn it, stepping on me again!

“No problem at all!” Peng Yongyan, completely unaware of how Brother Fei was barely able to restrain himself, continued proudly, “I have a lot of sway in our sales department now!” He began to show Mr. Liu the feng shui, “In this villa area, the two best spots are already sold out. There aren’t many left, I can only try my best to pick a good one for you. Mr. Liu, look at this one,” he pointed to a villa on the west side of the area, saying, “This one, on the west side of the ‘Treasure Basin’, echoes the best one on the east. It’s usually uncrowded and quiet here, bordered by high-rises, and from a feng shui perspective, this is called ‘Vermilion Bird protection’, a good place!”

Wang Hao was utterly dumbfounded!

Dude, you’ve learned to talk like us, but don’t contradict yourself!

Earlier, you said you’d rather have the Azure Dragon soar than the Vermilion Bird be slightly elevated, but now it’s suddenly Vermilion Bird protection?

And besides, there is no such thing as Vermilion Bird protection in feng shui!

Wang Hao listened in all kinds of confusion, while Peng Yongyan still felt good about himself, “Let’s buy this one, you won’t regret it! Mr. Liu, it’s not me talking big, but you really need to hurry and make a move, you will thank me after a few days when the price doubles!”

“Right, right, right,” Mr. Liu immediately waved his hand grandly, “Buy! Must buy!”

After all, that was the moment for Peng Yongyan to continue boasting, just as he managed to close the deal with his kung fu skills, ready to boast a bit more about earning forty thousand… But there’s always a dramatic twist, the very moment “Mr. Liu” said to buy, a gentle female voice followed: “Isn’t this Little Peng? And Little Liu? What are you guys doing here?”
