Chapter 6 It’s time to buy a car

Yang Hai smiled bitterly and shook his head, found Shen Ruobing's phone number and called her.

"Hello! Who is this?" Shen Ruobing asked on the phone.

Yang Hai was speechless again and said to Shen Ruobing: "I am your husband."

"Oh! It's you!" Shen Ruobing said.

"Why are you calling me? Did my parents go to your place?"

"No! But your mother just called me and asked me to go home with you for dinner. She has prepared some nourishing soup to nourish us." Yang Hai said.

"Oh! Then I'll drive over to pick you up later, and let's go back to my house for dinner together!" Shen Ruobing said.

"If there's nothing else, I'll hang up. I'm very busy at work right now and don't have time to chat with you."

"Then go ahead and get busy! There's nothing else to do." Yang Hai said very straightforwardly.

The two of them had no feelings for each other and were not very familiar with each other. Their relationship was just one of mutual benefit.

One was for the 100 million yuan she gave him, and the other was to deal with his parents' urging to get married.

If they could divorce now, Yang Hai would even give Shen Ruobing 200 million.

However, Yang Hai still has a strong sense of contract and will not take the initiative to end this fake marriage early.

Anyway, he is not in a hurry to marry another woman, so it doesn't hinder him to continue to maintain a married relationship with Shen Ruobing.

But it’s time to consider buying a car. It’s really inconvenient to travel without a car of your own.

Before dinner in the evening, Shen Ruobing drove over to pick up Yang Hai and gave Yang Hai another 30,000 yuan in cash.

"We agreed before that I would give you 10,000 yuan a month for living expenses. I've been so busy lately that I forgot about it. Sorry!"

"Actually, you gave me 100 million. I am already very grateful to you. You don't have to give me this money." Yang Hai took the money and said with a smile.

"Really? Then give me back the money. I won't have to give it to you in the future." Shen Ruobing stretched out her hand and said with a sneer.

"I've already got it, why do you want to take it back? Don't you think it's troublesome?" Yang Hai said with a smile.

"Who would find it troublesome if there's money to be made?" Shen Ruobing said with her hand still stretched out.

"Okay then!" Yang Hai said, and actually returned the 3 yuan to Shen Ruobing.

"Since you are so short of money, why don't I just return the 100 million to you."

"What do you want to do? We had an agreement at the beginning that you would be my husband for three years. It's only been three months and you want to go back on your word. I won't agree to that." Shen Ruobing said hurriedly.

"Besides, didn't you use your 100 million to pay off the bank's debt of more than 100 yuan? Can you still come up with million yuan now?"

Yang Hai smiled and was too lazy to argue with Shen Ruobing. It seemed that Shen Ruobing would definitely not agree to a divorce immediately.

Shen Ruobing felt a little proud in her heart, thinking that she had seen through Yang Hai and was sure that Yang Hai would not be able to come up with 100 million.

"I, Shen Ruobing, am not a person who doesn't keep my word. I promised to give you 10,000 yuan a month for living expenses, so I will definitely give it to you."

"Someone better stop trying to be too arrogant."

After Shen Ruobing finished speaking, she threw the 3 yuan on the sofa in the living room. She was just playing a prank on someone and had no intention of defaulting on the debt.

The two returned to Shen's house together again. Shen Ruobing's parents looked very happy. Seeing their daughter and son-in-law coming home together, they smiled happily. "Ah Hai! It's been so long, and you haven't come home to have a meal. You don't treat us as your family! A son-in-law is half a son, and we are also your parents. It's a bit unreasonable that you haven't come to visit us for so long?" Shen's father said with a smile.

"Dad! You know that Ah Hai is starting a business now. How can he have time to come home and accompany you every day!" Shen Ruobing said quickly.

"No matter how busy you are at work, you may not even have time to go home for a meal!" Father Shen said bluntly.

"That's right! If you young people get married and want to live outside and have your own space, we don't object." Mother Shen also said.

"But it's okay for you to come home often to have a meal, visit us, and chat with us!"

"No matter how busy you are at work, don't you still have to eat and sleep?"

"Then I will try to find time to come back more often to visit dad and mom and have dinner with you." Yang Hai said quickly with a smile.

In fact, Yang Hai likes Shen Ruobing's parents very much, and it can be seen that Shen Ruobing's parents are pretty nice people.

Although they seemed to be very rich and had high status, they did not look down on Yang Hai, nor did they feel that Yang Hai was not worthy of their daughter or that they were not a good match.

After Yang Hai sat down with Father Shen on the sofa in the living room, Father Shen smiled and said, "Your analysis and judgment last time were really accurate! Sure enough, in less than two months, housing prices and the stock market have fallen."

"The average transaction price of new homes in Linhai City in November dropped to 11 yuan per square meter, a drop of more than 15000 yuan from the average transaction price of new homes in October."

"I don't think the outlook for December is optimistic, and we'll have to keep falling."

"After listening to your analysis and judgment last time, I thought about it and I still think what you said makes sense, so I sold all the existing houses I could sell."

"If it had been delayed until now, the loss would have been huge. Not only has the price dropped a lot, but it's also not so easy to sell."

"In the past, the average price per square meter was 18,000 to 19,000 yuan, but there was still a lack of demand. No matter which new property was launched, it would almost always be sold out as soon as it was launched."

“Many developers misjudged their decisions and were reluctant to sell, holding back on sales and delaying the release of their properties.”

"Now it's good. Both the quantity and the price have fallen. They are selling at a lower price. It's hard to sell even if you want to."

Mr. Shen was in high spirits and looked very happy and excited.

"How low do you think housing prices will fall to be considered the bottom? How long will it take for this real estate market crisis to pass? When will the prices stop falling and start to rise?"

Mr. Shen was happy and asked a series of questions.

"This financial crisis has only just begun to manifest itself, and it will only get worse in the future. The current housing prices will at least fall back to the level of 2006, with an average price of around !" Yang Hai said with a smile.

"House prices in Linhai are still relatively resistant to falling, especially those luxury homes, which will not fall much, and some may even continue to rise."

"But if we look at the entire Linhai City, it's hard to say. At the lowest point, the average price of the entire Linhai City was 5000 yuan per square meter, which was very good."

"The city center is different from other areas. For example, in Baocheng District, some houses are sold for 18 or 000 yuan per square meter this year. It will be good if they can maintain 20000 or yuan per square meter next year."

"Is the decline so large? This is too scary, isn't it?" Father Shen said in a cold sweat.

"This could lead to chaos! It could be a big disaster."

"Those who bought houses at high prices, who spent 200 million yuan on their own houses, can see others buying houses in the same community for less than 100 million yuan. How can they bear it?"

"I'm afraid many people will choose to stop paying by then."

Yang Hai nodded and said, "It's only a matter of time before something goes wrong, but there's nothing we can do about it. Housing prices are controlled by the market, and buying a house is an investment. Since it's an investment, there will be gains and losses. How can there be a business that only makes money and never loses money?"
