"Yes, I heard your father likes fishing. The fish pond in the yard connects to Deer Lake, so he can fish even without leaving the house. The variety of fish is quite abundant, and in the summer, he can fish while relaxing in the pavilion in the courtyard. It's excellent."
"Furthermore, the house is equipped with an air curtain system, so when it's activated in the winter, there's no need for floor heating, and the same goes for summer. Also, every mattress in the house is a highly customized model starting at 500,000 yuan, making them extremely comfortable, and the wardrobe materials are made from the finest timber."
Seeing Cheng Gui so energetically and ceaselessly introducing the villa, a flicker of doubt couldn't help but cross Jiang Cheng's eyes.
This intense sales pitch was no less urgent than a supermarket clearance sale, and it made Jiang Cheng sense something unusual.
Given Cheng Gui's status, even if Jiang Cheng really was here to buy a house, he didn't need to accompany him with such excessive enthusiasm.
Even if he was showing him the house out of respect for Jiang Jianming.
He shouldn't be praising this property so vigorously; after all, it didn't quite fit the status of a boss whose company is valued at 40 billion yuan.
Moreover, people only speak of what they have in the best possible terms when they want to achieve a certain goal or need someone else's help.
Jiang Cheng said calmly, "It's quite nice. What is the price of this villa?"
Seeing that Jiang Cheng seemed very satisfied, a smile flashed in Cheng Gui's eyes.
"The total price for this villa is 150 million yuan. Actually, this price isn't expensive, because the cost of the renovation alone, along with the Italian custom-made furniture and fixtures, already approaches thirty million yuan. I can guarantee that the entire house is completely zero-formaldehyde. You can invite any agency to come and test it. Furthermore, the surrounding environment is completely pollution-free, and the water quality is also guaranteed."
Hearing this, Jiang Cheng didn't haggle, nodding directly, "Alright, I'll take this one. Should we sign the contract directly, or proceed with a full payment?"
Cheng Gui smiled and said, "No need for all that trouble. You already bought me one earlier. For this one, I'll just have someone process the property deed and deliver it to you. This house is free; Uncle is giving it to you."
Hearing this, Jiang Cheng felt both surprised and confused.
He raised his head, looking at Cheng Gui, a hint of incomprehension in his eyes.
"Giving it to me?"
Cheng Gui still wore a beaming smile: "That's right. You called me Uncle. Given our uncle-nephew relationship, giving you a house is only proper."
Jiang Cheng was speechless.
What kind of uncle-nephew relationship was this? Just calling him Uncle gets you a 150 million yuan house?
This relationship was a bit too intimate.
Something was definitely wrong.
Who gives such an expensive gift upon first meeting?
However, Jiang Cheng wasn't panicking at all right now.
After all, he wasn't a scion of a powerful family like Qi Yuan.
Otherwise, his first thought would definitely be that a mortal enemy had set a trap for him.
Nevertheless, Jiang Cheng's mind was still racing with thoughts.
After all, Jiang Jianming had just used the matter involving Qin Cheng yesterday to show off his strength to the big shots in Chengdu.
Today, Cheng Gui became unusually enthusiastic after meeting him.
Jiang Cheng guessed that the only possibility was due to Jiang Jianming's influence.
Otherwise, his status as a mere ordinary construction boss wouldn't be enough for Cheng Gui to treat him so exceptionally.
Clearly, Jiang Cheng had guessed that Cheng Gui must need his help with something.
"Uncle Cheng, I appreciate your kindness. However, I cannot accept such a valuable gift."
Cheng Gui smiled and said, "Why are you being polite with me? Don't worry, this house is absolutely clean and has no issues whatsoever. If you are concerned, you can go check it out first."
"That's not the issue. It's just that I came here to buy a house; it wouldn't be right to accept it for free."
"See, you're treating me like a stranger. You said the previous set was for your girlfriend, so I couldn't snatch away a gift you were giving. But this one, Uncle must give to you. If you're not satisfied, I have other villas with excellent layouts. Shall we go look at them?"
Jiang Cheng raised an eyebrow upon hearing this, realizing that Cheng Gui's words and actions showed he was determined to give him the house.
Jiang Cheng paused for two seconds, then spoke frankly: "Uncle Cheng, if you have something you need, why don't you just say it directly? That way, we don't have to beat around the bush. If it's something I can help with, then everything is fine. If I can't help, then I won't buy this house, and I'll just look at other developments."
Cheng Gui understood Jiang Cheng's implication.
Seeing Jiang Cheng lay his cards on the table, his smile deepened.
"Truly worthy of Boss Jiang's son—clever and quick-witted. Actually, there is indeed something I need your help with. And this idea only occurred to me after I met you. But rest assured, this matter is actually a win-win situation, and I genuinely want to give you this villa. Although the relationship between your father and me isn't intimate, that might change in the future. If we have a chance to cooperate later, giving a gift is appropriate."
"Uncle Cheng, Tianlong Real Estate has a considerable reputation in Chengdu. Your market value is over 40 billion yuan. You must have countless construction companies you could choose to cooperate with. Even if you wanted to cooperate, you shouldn't have to go to such lengths to give gifts to my family, right?"
Cheng Gui stopped beating around the bush. He looked at Jiang Cheng with admiration and spoke.
"Actually, your father and I aren't extremely familiar with each other. Our company only cooperated with your family once before. However, I am very optimistic about your family's projects. Your construction quality is excellent, and the building craftsmanship is superb, which left a deep impression on me. Therefore, I have always wanted to find an opportunity to cooperate with your family. Since you happened to be here this time, I wanted to take this chance to express my sincerity. This house may not be much, but it represents my goodwill. I hope you won't despise it."
"So, Uncle Cheng, you genuinely have a project you want to cooperate with my family on?"
"Yes. Actually, half a year ago, I acquired a piece of land in Chengdu in an area scheduled for demolition. However, the approval process has been stalled indefinitely. If the demolition of that plot doesn't proceed, it will hinder Tianlong Real Estate's expansion efforts." After saying this, Cheng Gui sighed helplessly.
Jiang Cheng immediately understood Cheng Gui's meaning.
So, the cooperation was intended to leverage Jiang Jianming's influence?
Cheng Gui knows his family's background? That shouldn't be possible.
His own father shouldn't have allowed anyone to find out his background, otherwise, after all these years, how could he still only have the status of a construction boss?
