Chapter 2 Fully Rented
Early the next morning.
At the entrance of a residential complex in Gangnam District, Seoul.
"It's you!"
Huang Xu looked at the three beautiful women in front of him who were wrapped tightly, and he immediately understood why Sunny said yesterday that she would know who the tenant was as soon as she saw him.
At the same time, I also understand why these people come here to rent a house.
The community here is famous for its safety in Seoul.
The three on the opposite side are Park Soyeon, Park Hyomin and Jeon Boram from the Crown Group.
At this time, they were being hacked across the entire network because of the "troll incident".
Huang Xu even saw news a few days ago that said some black fans came directly to gank him.
Therefore, after recognizing a few people, he did not hesitate any longer and directly took the three of them into the community, and also began his introduction.
When introducing the house, he also focused on the security situation in the community.
Then the interior of the house was introduced.
"You can't afford the rent?"
Huang Xu had just finished introducing the house to the three people when he heard them say they couldn't afford it, which surprised him.
"You guys should have debuted for three years, how could you not be able to afford the rent?"
According to the information Huang Xu learned, their group should have debuted in 09, and the group's performance is quite good. Although it has not reached the level of Girls' Generation, it is also a first-line girl group.
How is it possible that I can’t afford to rent a house?
After knowing their Sunny's friend, he didn't ask for a high price. He just asked for the right to use 60% of the house's value in cash as rent for two years.
This model, which is not common in China, is quite common in Korea, that is, renting the entire house.
Generally speaking, tenants borrow 50% to 70% of the house value in cash from the bank and give it to the landlord for two years as rent for these two years.
Tenants only need to pay the interest on the loan, and because the bank has a full rental preferential loan, the monthly interest is cheaper than the normal rent.
The landlord can also quickly collect a large amount of cash back or use it for other investments.
The bank can charge two interest rates for one house.
This is South Korea's unique all-rental housing model, which is beneficial to all three parties.
But he really didn't expect that their team couldn't afford the rent. That was what he didn't expect.
Although I knew a long time ago that Korean idols' income was relatively low, I never thought it would be this low.
He bought this second-hand house a month ago, worth about 6 million won, and has an area of about 60 square meters.
(Pyeong: Korean unit of area, approximately 3.3 square meters.)
"I'm really sorry to bother you today."
Looking at the three beauties bowing and apologizing in front of him, Huang Xu could only pat his head helplessly.
"It's okay, let's go. I have another house here, which is a little smaller than this one and the rent is a little lower. I think you two can squeeze in and live here."
As he said this, he took a few people to the next door of his house.
This house is also in this community, with an area of more than 30 square meters, but it has not been cleaned up yet.
After all, it is a second-hand house and it has been delivered for two years. Before renting it out, he still needs to clean it up and hire professionals to decorate it so that the rental price can be higher.
Otherwise, why would those people pay him 70% or even 80% of the value of the house?
. . . . . . .
"Soyeon, do we really have to rent such an expensive house?" At this time, the three members of Tara had already got on the taxi for the return trip, but Jeon Boram still asked her question in the car.
She is quite satisfied with the location of this community and the surrounding facilities.
Now it's a matter of budget.
The housing prices in Gangnam District are not cheap to begin with, and with the release of a song called Gangnam Style two months ago, the housing prices here have skyrocketed to a new level.
So she was a little worried that they couldn't afford the rent here.
After all, it is almost common knowledge that their company and their boss are stingy.
"Ouni, you know our current situation. If we don't rent a better neighborhood, can we prevent them?"
Park So-yeon sat in the passenger seat, looking up information while explaining her reasons.
She chose the house here for the safety of the team.
Because two months ago, a member of their team revealed to the media that there was bullying within their team when he quit the team.
So they have a lot of black fans.
Even a few days ago, the address of their group was discovered by black fans.
The key point is that they still came to their door and kept insulting them. Finally, they drove them away with the help of the police.
Although no worse accidents happened, several people were so scared that they couldn't sleep all night, so they have been considering changing houses in the past few days.
Park So-yeon took over as captain just last year, and encountered such a thing this year, which made her very sad and also frightened.
So now, what she considers most when choosing a house is safety, because she is afraid that something like what happened yesterday will happen again.
However, the house they are looking at today will hardly have such problems.
This is a wealthy area and the residential areas are all high-end.
The security of the property is definitely far better than the old and dilapidated house they live in now.
Especially in order to ensure the safety of the residents here, the police have set up guard rooms at the intersections of their streets.
So even if the price is a little higher, she is willing to do it.
After she persuaded several people, they were convinced by her reasons.
They also don't want to go through what they experienced yesterday, where black fans came to their doorstep and verbally abused them face to face, but they couldn't do anything about it.
The three of them returned to the dormitory and began to talk to several teammates about the community they had visited today.
The few of them immediately developed a liking for the security guards who patrolled the community day and night, and the community where no one could enter without the owner's consent.
The most important thing is that the residents here are not necessarily rich or noble, but basically they are elite white-collar workers.
Therefore, there are rarely people with low quality.
In other words, people here care more about their external image and will not do irrational things like those black fans.
At the same time, because the community is a newly built high-end community and the houses have been delivered for two years, the surrounding supporting facilities are also quite good.
There are gyms and beauty salons inside the community, which are exclusively for the use of community owners and outsiders are not allowed to enter at all.
As soon as you go out, there are chain convenience stores and shopping malls, so shopping is quite convenient.
The most important thing is that there is public transportation such as a subway station not far from home, so it is very convenient no matter where you go.
Several teammates who did not go today looked at the videos and photos taken on the three people's mobile phones, and they began to discuss whether or not to rent Huang Xu's house.
