Chapter 37: Exchange Contribution Points to Buy a House
After Bai Tang and the others finished looking at the land they had been allocated, they returned to the small courtyard they had just visited.
Only then did Bai Tang ask Duan Jia, "How many contribution points does this apartment cost?"
Duan Jia didn't mince words and said directly, "Because this house is big, the original price is 50,000 contribution points, but we have a discount now and can give you 49,000."
However, this house comes with one acre less land than the other houses, so you can get an additional discount of 1,000 contribution points. Therefore, you only need to pay a total of 48,000 contribution points.
Bai Tang was surprised by the price. She thought such a large apartment would cost at least 50,000 or 60,000 yuan. She was surprised that Duan Jia was so honest and gave them such a big discount.
Bai Tang said, "We don't have enough contribution points right now, so we'll probably have to move supplies from the truck. Can we use the truck we just drove in?"
When Duan Jia heard Bai Tang say that he wanted to buy the house directly, he was almost driven crazy with excitement. After two months, he was finally going to make a sale.
He quickly replied, "Sure, sure, I can drive with you to move the supplies."
Bai Tang felt that these two small cars might not be enough to carry all the supplies to be exchanged, so she asked, "Can we drive our own cars in the base? I just saw someone driving around the base."
Duan Jia was surprised that Bai Tang and the others had their own car, and quickly said, "Of course you can drive in the base, but there are some speed limits. However, these days not many people have both a car and gasoline."
Bai Tang asked Duan Jia to take them to the parking lot to get their car.
Duan Jia hurriedly went out, locked the courtyard gate, and then went to get his car to take Bai Tang and the others to the parking lot.
They arrived at the parking lot entrance shortly afterward.
The parking lot staff asked them to swipe their ID cards to verify if their cars were registered in the parking lot. Only after successful verification were they allowed to enter the parking lot.
After entering the parking lot, they found that the base parking lot was quite large. They hadn't had a good look around since they arrived late that day. Bai Tang was terrible with directions, so she could only follow them.
Gu Yanxu led them to their three cars in no time. Duan Jia and Li Ping looked at the three cars in front of them and suddenly felt that they were not on the same level.
Bai Tang noticed their gazes and then explained, "These three cars were parked elsewhere before and were not flooded."
Don't be shocked. Many people at the base have stored their vehicles in high places before; otherwise, where would all these vehicles come from?
Li Ping said dejectedly, "My family used to have a car, but it was stolen. We went to the police to report it, but we couldn't find it because we don't know who stole it."
Bai Tang comforted him, "Work hard and earn more contributions, then you can buy a car later."
"Yes, I need to work hard to earn contribution points. I still need to support my sister and me." Li Ping was instantly filled with motivation again.
As they were talking, Gu Yanxu said that Lin Fan had opened the doors of the two SUVs.
Duan Jia and Li Ping stared wide-eyed once again at the large number of bags of rice, salt, sugar, cigarettes, and various seasonings that filled the back seat and trunk of the car.
Bai Tang had Lin Fan drive one car with Pingping, and Lin Feng drive another car with Bai Jiyang. The rest of them would stay in the same car they came in and go to the service hall to exchange contribution points.
They had 50 packs of cigarettes, 200 kilograms of rice, 200 kilograms of salt, 200 kilograms of sugar, and 200 kilograms of various seasonings on their vehicle.
50 packs of cigarettes can be exchanged for 10,000 contribution points, 200 jin of rice can be exchanged for 10,000 contribution points, 200 jin of salt can be exchanged for 10,000 contribution points, 200 jin of sugar can be exchanged for 10,000 contribution points, and 200 jin of various seasonings can also be exchanged for 10,000 contribution points.
Bai Tang's RV actually contained quite a few supplies, but the supplies in the two off-road vehicles were enough to buy a house, so he didn't touch the supplies in the RV for the time being.
There were quite a few people driving at the base, so their two SUVs didn't attract much attention. Before long, they arrived at the entrance of the base's service hall.
Bai Jiyang went to the service hall and said that they wanted to exchange contribution points and had a lot of supplies. He asked if a few more people could come and help carry them.
The staff in the lobby said, "How many can there be? You're making us send more people to carry them."
Seeing this, Bai Jiyang said, "It's not much, just two hundred catties of rice, two hundred catties of salt, and two hundred catties of sugar. I believe you can carry it all by yourself. Let's go."
After hearing Bai Jiyang's words, the staff member was stunned, thinking: Who would casually bring 200 jin of rice, salt, and sugar to exchange for contribution points these days? Why wouldn't they keep the food for themselves?
Although he still doubted the young man's words, he still called a few people to help him move the supplies.
When they went outside and saw the supplies in the trunks and seats of the two SUVs parked there, they exchanged a silent glance: This is a big customer.
Bai Tang and the others watched as the staff carried supplies into the hall.
After all the supplies were moved into the hall, someone came over to weigh them and exchange them for contribution points.
After the person finished calculating the supplies, the staff in the service hall enthusiastically transferred 50,000 contribution points into Bai Tang's card.
With 50,000 contribution points in one go, Bai Tang instantly became a little rich. Even without these contribution points, she would still be a little rich just by relying on the resources in Bai Tang's space.
Bai Tang turned to Duan Jia and said, "Let's go to your real estate department and transfer the house to my name."
Duan Jia looked at Bai Tang, then at Gu Yanxu and the others, and then said to Bai Tang, "Are you sure you want to transfer the property directly to your name? Aren't you guys going to discuss it?"
Bai Tang didn't speak, but Gu Yanxu said, "Don't look at me, I'm henpecked, I listen to my wife."
Bai Jiyang added, "Don't look at me. I'm my sister's sweetheart, and I listen to her."
Lin Fan and the other two said in unison, "We'll listen to the boss, the boss will listen to his wife, and we'll listen to our wives."
Duan Jia wanted to silently retract the question he had just asked; it seemed that his family all listened to Bai Tang.
Bai Tang couldn't help but facepalm: "If you keep acting like this, people will think I have the temper of a tigress."
Gu Yanxu said, "Tangtang has the best temper."
Duan Jia wiped away non-existent cold sweat from his face and then said to them, "Let's go to the sales office now and transfer the property directly."
The group drove to the sales office again. When they entered the sales office, Duan Jia's colleagues saw that they had returned and hurriedly asked them if they had bought a house.
Duan Jia said, "They bought the house that came with two acres of land as a gift."
Duan Jia's colleagues walked away with a slightly sour taste in their mouths upon hearing this.
Duan Jia returned to the counter and soon processed the property certificate and homeowner's certificate for Bai Tang, and also processed the certificate for the two acres of land.
Bai Tang took the keys to the courtyard, along with the property certificate and several other documents, feeling incredibly pleased: "I'm a homeowner now!"
