Chapter 159 - 159: 155: Family Harmony Promotes Prosperity

“I’ll tell you later, but don’t worry, I definitely have a use for them.” Finn Lewis gave Sophie Lee a smile. Sophie wanted to say something else, but hesitated for a moment and held her tongue.

The sales manager, hearing Grace’s words, thought he’d misheard initially. But after triple-checking and confirming that Grace was serious, he rushed out of his office in disbelief. This was a true high-rolling customer.

“Sir, my surname is Davis, and I am the manager here. Are you sure you want to buy all the remaining houses in the second phase?” The manager couldn’t resist asking.

“Of course, didn’t I make myself clear? And I’m paying in full. How much discount can you offer?” Finn Lewis raised his eyebrows.

“I will call our CEO immediately. Rest assured, Sir, we will certainly offer you a satisfactory discount. I will let them calculate the total area of the houses for you while I make the call.” The manager threw out these words and went to make the call.

Five or six sales ladies came to Finn’s side to calculate the area and total price of the villas. The other people who were looking at houses exchanged glances, though none left, all waiting to see the final result.

The manager came back in roughly five or six minutes, “Mr. Lewis, I just spoke with our CEO, who said if you take all the houses and pay in full, we can offer a 10% discount and three years of property management fees will be waived.” 10% off? The people waiting to buy houses were in shock. Usually a 2% off is considered a great discount for house purchases and deals with a 3% off are rarely seen. Furthermore, this specific development includes villas and don’t take each villa lightly, the price for each would be at least several million. That 10% discount is equivalent to hundreds of thousands saved.

And on top of that, they’re waiving the property management fees for three years! People shouldn’t underestimate that. Property management fees for villas are notoriously high.

“Mr. Lewis, we have the numbers. There are 77 standalone villas left, totalling 32,571 square meters, while the semi-detached villas make up 14,586 square meters. The standalone villas are priced at 21,000 per square meter, the semis at 18,000 per square meter. Multiplying by the discount, the final total is 851.88 million.” The manager quickly got the final numbers.

“Mr. Lewis, would you like to double-check the calculations?” The manager gingerly asked. They would, of course, never fudge these figures, but this was a necessary question to ask.

Finn Lewis dismissed him with a wave of his hand: “Let’s leave it at that. The price will be 850 million okay?”

“Fine.” The manager was decisive. The CEO had authorized him and he was just scraping off a couple million, though it was not a small number, but house trading had the potential to bring in profits. The real estate market was in a downturn, the initial investment that was expected to be recouped in two to three years could now be recouped in just one day.

For the developer, even an 80% price would be better than dragging it out for another two years. So this price was completely acceptable, “Fishy Wells sign the contract. Can you process the deeds now?” Finn Lewis asked the manager.

“Yes, Sir. It’ll probably take a few months, though. We have all five pieces of documentation in place, but it takes time for inspection procedures and the like,” The manager responded.

“Okay, then test out some blank contracts for me, ones where your company has signed and put a seal on it. Then, as soon as I sign it, it will take effect.” Finn Lewis thought for a moment before speaking again.

“Not a problem.” For this kind of major client, no problem was a problem. And this stuff was simple. He’d processed these kinds of contracts many times before. It was obvious the client intended to give these away. As soon as he signs, the ownership of the villa would be transferred. Anyone who could casually drop 850 million to buy houses definitely wouldn’t lack for places to live. These houses weren’t for him.

The procedure wasn’t actually that complicated. Although there were over a hundred contracts to prepare, Finn wouldn’t have to deal with them. The manager called over all the sales ladies to handle them. Not long after, roughly two hours, Finn received all the contracts and, naturally, paid in full.

In the end, Finn Lewis still had 4 billion Federal coins, or about 25 billion Flame Nation coins. After spending 850 million on these houses, he was left with about 17 billion.

Seeing Finn Lewis calmly pay this amount, the onlookers were at a loss for words. Especially the guy who had previously accused Finn of showing off was now flushed with embarrassment but quickly turned tail and left. What surprised Finn was that after he bought almost all the houses in the second phase, leaving only two semi-detached villas, those who had previously eyed the properties became anxious.

The remaining two semi-detached villas were sold off almost immediately after Finn’s purchase. The manager nearly died laughing — just imagine the commission on that one! Undoubtedly, the most bewildered person there was Grace, who’d never imagined that she’d score such a massive deal just casually handling a young man!

This couldn’t be described as a “large deal”, it was a colossal deal! A total transaction of 850 million! And her commission was 0.5%, as this was villas we’re talking about. Even at 0.5%, this was a commission of 4.25 million!

Just like that, she became a millionaire, nearly five times over at that. It was as if she’d won the jackpot. When Finn was signing the contract, her hands kept trembling. 4 million… anyone facing such a windfall wouldn’t be able to stay calm, except for the rich that is.

“Oh, right, her commission won’t be lessened, will it?” Finn Lewis asked, pointing at Grace

The manager glanced at Grace, who was not oozing charm but sometimes the thing that people needed was simply luck. Who made Grace the one who happened receive Finn Lewis’ patronage? Although the manager didn’t know how much of a commission Grace would get, he could estimate it would be several million.

Since Finn asked, he quickly answered, “Mr. Lewis, rest assured, her commission will not be less. We are strictly regulated.”

“Good, I purchased the house from her so normally I shouldn’t be concerning myself with this, but since there are rules, they need to be followed. You can’t withhold this girl’s commission, or else your reputation will stink in this circle,” Finn Lewis said nonchalantly..
