"Is that so?"
Dawn, like a little grown-up, lowered her head and thought for a moment before saying:
"The only houses like that are the siheyuan. But siheyuan are really too expensive. Even the smaller ones now go for over a billion, and there's no market even at that price; many people hold onto them and are unwilling to sell."
Yang Yan said with a smile:
"As I said earlier, the price is definitely not an issue; the main thing is to find a suitable house."
As usual, Yang Yan asked the hotel to arrange a car, then drove himself to go house hunting.
Of course, the one driving was still Zhou Hanyun.
The traffic in the Imperial Capital really left people speechless.
The roads are indeed wide, but unfortunately, there are just too many cars.
A journey that should have taken half an hour ended up taking an hour and a half due to traffic jams.
Finally getting out of the car, Yang Yan and Zhou Hanyun exchanged wry smiles.
It seems the plan to buy a car has to be postponed for a while.
With such congestion, Yang Yan felt he'd rather walk than drive.
"Finally here! I think today we will probably only manage to see this one house. The traffic in the Imperial Capital! I really don't know where all these cars come from."
Yang Yan sighed and said.
The three little girls next to him nodded in agreement.
They were incredibly bored in the car just now.
"Where's the house?"
Yang Yan asked, looking at Dawn.
This area belongs to the old city district, near People's Square.
However, for various reasons, it wasn't demolished.
It's not that no real estate developers wanted to come and talk, but the government said they wanted to preserve some of the old Imperial Capital's characteristics, so this area has been preserved.
Don't be fooled by the old city district; everyone who lives here is either rich or noble.
After all, the housing prices in the Imperial Capital are not something that can be described as merely pricey.
In other cities, in a similar location, five to six million can already buy a very nice house.
Even in a city like East Sea City, known as a financial center of Huaxia, you can also buy a decent house.
In the Imperial Capital, five to six million... that's just a joke.
It may sound exaggerated, but it's indeed the reality.
So, although Dawn knows Yang Yan must be quite wealthy, she's still worried about whether he has enough money.
Imagine, it takes so much money just to buy an average house, let alone a siheyuan.
Especially since the people here aren't short of money, the price to pay becomes even higher.
"Dawn, can you tell us about the situation here?"
Zhou Hanyun asked, looking at Dawn.
At this moment, as a businesswoman, she displayed the professional habits she should have.
Before doing anything, she habitually gets a thorough understanding before taking action.
"Sure, Aunt Hanyun."
Dawn nodded, then took out a small notebook from the bag she carried with her.
Zhou Hanyun could tell that this notebook was frequently read.
Because the cover was already somewhat worn out.
After seriously flipping through the notebook for a while, Dawn then looked up at Zhou Hanyun and said:
"Aunt Hanyun, this area was the Qianqing era's royal residence. From here to the end of the alley, there are a total of twenty-three siheyuan. Each siheyuan occupies an area between 400 and 600 square meters."
"The siheyuan we're looking at today is the thirteenth one, and without counting the basement, it has a space of 490 square meters, which is quite spacious."
"But the price is really quite high. The owner said he wants to sell the house, but hasn't specified the exact price."
Speaking of this, Dawn felt a bit embarrassed.
After all, bringing Yang Yan and them here without knowing the price, just thinking about it felt a bit awkward.
If the price turned out to be too high to afford, it would be even more embarrassing.
She really didn't want to see Yang Yan looking embarrassed.
Hearing Dawn's words, Zhou Hanyun quickly estimated the price of the houses here in her mind.
She compared them to the housing prices in other prosperous areas of the Imperial Capital, made suitable estimations based on the actual conditions, and then frowned as she looked at Yang Yan and said:
"The housing price here is probably astronomical. That siheyuan is 490 square meters, and if we buy it, it's estimated to cost a billion. Isn't this price too high?"
Hearing Zhou Hanyun's words, Yang Yan waved his hand with a smile:
"There's no need to worry about money. If something can be solved with money, it's not really a problem. Listening to Dawn, I'm actually more concerned the other party doesn't want money, which would be a bit troublesome."
"Doesn't want money? Then what does the other party want?"
Zhou Hanyun asked, eyes wide with confusion.
"There are people in this world who aren't short of money; they need other things, completely beyond your expectations. I have a feeling that the person here might be one of those people."
Yang Yan said with a smile.
"Other things?"
Zhou Hanyun was even more confused.
"Like helping him accomplish something, or introduce him to someone, something similar. Anyway, there are plenty of such requests. Of course, without meeting the person, I wouldn't know exactly what they want."
Yang Yan said.
Hearing Yang Yan's words, Zhou Hanyun became even more curious.
She really wanted to see if the other party indeed didn't want money, but something else, as Yang Yan suggested.
After all, this siheyuan is worth a billion!
That's definitely a huge fortune.
Under Dawn's guidance, the group arrived in front of a vermilion door.
Yang Yan glanced at the door and couldn't help but stop, his brows slightly furrowed.
"Here it is! Uncle Yang, why don't you give them a call? The property owner mentioned when registering that anyone coming to see the house should call him directly. He's always at home waiting."
Dawn said quickly, then opened her notebook to the page with the phone number.
"Alright, got it."
Yang Yan took out his phone from his pocket and dialed the number.
Once connected, a magnetic middle-aged man's voice came through the line.
After Yang Yan told him that he planned to come and see the house, the person asked him to wait a moment and then hung up.
A minute later, the door slowly opened.
A man in his forties came out.
After glancing at Yang Yan and the others, he asked somewhat displeased:
"Was it you who called me to see the house?"
"Yes, it was me who called you."
Yang Yan looked at the man seriously and said.
"Do you know how much this house costs? Are you sure you can afford it?"
The man scrutinized Yang Yan and asked in a deep voice.
He wasn't looking down on Yang Yan; it's just that this siheyuan isn't something an average person can afford.
As Yang Yan and Zhou Hanyun were quite young, he couldn't help but ask another question.
He really didn't want to waste time on two youngsters.
He even suspected they were just "tourists" wanting to come in and have a look around.
