Chapter 364: Chapter 297: What’s the Difference with Giving it Away for Free? (Subscription Please!) _3
"I’m sorry, I can’t."
"..."
Soon, the six or seven people ahead had all finished drawing their lots. The highest discount was one percent, most were 0.5 or 0.8 percent, there were also a couple of unlucky souls who got nothing. The winning rate is not bad.
Tang Qing was next. Due to a recent increase in the average price of properties, there would’ve been an uproar if he hadn’t already bought.
Tang Qing stepped forward.
The entire lottery box was made of plastic, filled with balls of paper, each with a prize written on it.
The special prize was glued in a corner to avoid some wily person from picking it out. The prize was simply a large ’1’ written on it. If someone normal picked it, it could be seen as a mistake, a prank, or a one percent off, but if Tang Qing picked it, it was naturally the big prize.
The final interpretation belongs to the Tian Qian Group.
This was clearly written on a banner at the entrance.
A shady operation, a sure-win lottery.
Reaching into the box, Tang Qing felt around for a moment before touching that piece of paper. Smiling at the corner of his mouth, he gently tore it off and crumpled the paper into a ball.
He took his hand out of the box, then opened up the paper ball. A big ’1’ written with a thick red pen was revealed.
"Young man, you’re in luck, you get a one percent discount," someone commented.
"Why is this one thicker than the others?" another puzzled.
"Who knows? If only this discount could be transferred. Someone with a bigger house could save more."
"Dream on."
"Heh heh."
Tang Qing asked the lottery official standing aside, "What does this mean?"
The official, understanding the situation, immediately looked delighted and congratulated, "Sir, congratulations! You have won the grand prize of this event. You can get an overall discount of forty percent, but you must pay for all the cost of the house today."
The crowd was suddenly in an uproar.
"What? There was such a prize? Why didn’t you say it earlier? I thought the twenty percent off from first place was the highest."
"Yeah, me too."
"There’s a special prize? How is that possible?"
"Didn’t you look carefully? There’s something covering the first place sign. Maybe that’s the special prize."
"Maybe it’s a surprise."
"I want such a surprise too."
"Dream on."
"..."
Many homebuyers were unhappy, but they also made peace with the fact. Even if they kicked up a fuss, with this magnitude, it would be of no use. It was already a steal. Some smarter ones suspected trickery. But so what? Liu Qian’s influence in Qingyan City was incomparable. No one dared to make trouble. Whoever Liu Qian wanted to give benefits to must not be simple. No one wanted to bash their head against this steel plate. 𝑛𝑜𝑣𝑝𝑢𝘣.𝘤𝑜𝘮
Both mothers and Lin Jiaxue followed Zhuo Jun to the VIP reception room, still dizzy from what happened.
This...was too dramatic.
Fifty percent off?
That was practically a buy one get one free offer.
They couldn’t imagine what was to come. The real surprise was yet to come.
"How much do we have to pay then?" Mother Tang asked cautiously.
"Your house is 252 square meters, each square meter costs 3,300 RMB. Subtracting the remainder, it’s 830,000 RMB at full price. Mr. Tang’s membership card allows him to purchase the property at cost price, deducting another 435,000 RMB. In total, you need to pay 46,500 RMB this time for the duplex. Your membership card has a limit of two purchases."
"What?"
Mother Tang was shocked.
Buying a 200-square meter house for only 46,000?
Are you joking?
"Manager Zhuo, didn’t you miscalculate? How can it cost so little?" Mother Tang stuttered. Both Lin Jiaxue and Mother Lin were dumbfounded. 46,000 for such a big house, what’s the difference between this and giving it away for free?
Zhuo Jun felt a sense of fate being unfair, explaining, "Ladies, rest assured, we didn’t miscalculate. It indeed costs 46,500 RMB. If you can pay it all by midnight tonight, it’s fine. Otherwise, you can only buy the property at cost price."
After hearing this, Mother Tang immediately regained her senses and quickly stood up, "Ok, ok, we’ll swipe the card immediately. Come on, in-laws!"
"Yes."
Mother Lin immediately agreed.
Afterwards, Zhuo Jun led the two ladies to the front desk to swipe their cards. They didn’t dare tell anyone about this. Otherwise, everyone here would go mad. However, they couldn’t conceal the excitement on their faces.
After swiping their cards, both ladies breathed a sigh of relief.
This discount...it was like a dream come true. They were having difficulty processing it.
Tang Qing wasn’t worried about the two families figuring out anything. As long as they made the process look good, they would be more inclined to accept it. If worse comes to worst, he would simply deny everything.
