Chapter 32 Oppa, I won't sell it anymore
"Hola, why are you selling this house? Didn't you just buy it?"
By this time it was five o'clock in the afternoon. The agent had left, leaving only Huang Xu and Goo Hara in the living room of her single-family home in Cheongdam-dong.
Seeing that there was no sign of occupancy around and that the house had been carefully designed, Huang Xu was a little confused as to why Goo Hara wanted to sell the place.
You know, it’s not easy to find a house in this area.
Although this house is located in a relatively remote place in Cheongdam-dong, it is also Gangnam District, and after a few years of development, it will be no worse than where Huang Xu lives now.
Moreover, this is a detached house. In terms of scarcity and the speed at which the housing price is increasing, it is even faster than the flat that Huang Xu bought.
Just wait three to five years, and after the surrounding development slowly picks up, the housing prices here will at least double, or even more.
Why is it being sold now?
Facing Huang Xu's questions, Goo Hara's expression slowly changed, and she no longer had the smile she had when they first met in the afternoon.
Huang Xu looked at the change in her expression and seemed to have thought of something.
"Is it because of that guy a few nights ago?"
"Um,"
"Can you tell me about it? If it's not convenient, forget it."
"It's nothing, Huang Xu Oppa, I actually met him two years ago because of a show."
Huang Xu listened to Goo Hara's explanation and slowly understood what was going on.
In fact, the matter is very simple. To sum it up, it is a story about a girl who lacks care and meets a scumbag who wants to pick up girls. After being together for more than a year, the girl discovers the true face of the other party and finally breaks up.
The story can be said to be very cliché, but that's how things developed.
Huang Xu saw that Goo Hara's mood gradually became depressed after her story and she seemed to have no intention of getting over it, so he quickly changed the subject.
After all, even if he tried to comfort her, it would hardly have any effect. It would be better to change the subject directly and think of a solution later.
"By the way, Hara, you've been in the industry for a few years now, so you have the money to buy a single-family house like this?"
Huang Xu was still quite curious about this matter.
Because the girl group idols he knew didn’t seem to be short of money, but he had never seen anyone buy a house directly.
Moreover, the popularity of Goo Hara's KARA in Korea is totally incomparable to Girls' Generation. Even before Tara's incident, their popularity was higher than KARA.
They haven't bought a house yet, but Goo Hara, who is not as popular as them, is the first to buy a house. This is a bit beyond Huang Xu's expectations.
"I've been in the industry for four years now, but I only joined the group and debuted in 08."
"Four years. It seems your company is pretty good. You've only been in the industry for four years, but you can afford to buy a house like this in full. I see Sunny and the others are still living in the dormitory. Let me tell you what I'm going to say to her next time."
Huang Xu was really feeling emotional. It seems that for Korean economic companies, scale really matters.
Kara's agency DSP, although not doing so well now, was a company that could be compared with SM at the beginning of the century.
But maybe because of this, the income of the artists under the company seems to be pretty good.
Didn’t you see that Goo Hara and the others have only been in the industry for a few years and yet they were able to buy a mansion worth 1.1 billion won, while the more famous Girls’ Generation is still living in a crowded dormitory.
But they are all pretty good. The most exaggerated one is Tara, who still owes him the rent deposit.
"Sunny, Huang Xu Oppa, do you know Sunny Unni?"
"Yes, we are quite familiar with each other." "Hehe, then Huang Xu Oppa, who is prettier, me or Sunny Unnie?"
"Cough cough cough~"
Huang Xu, who was drinking water, was startled by the question suddenly asked by Goo Hara, and then choked.
Goo Hara looked at Huang Xu who was coughing due to choking on water, and couldn't help but smile and handed him two tissues.
"Oppa, is this question so difficult to answer?"
"No, it's just a little sudden."
Seeing that Huang Xu didn't want to answer her question, Goo Hara wanted to continue asking to see who was prettier in Huang Xu's mind, herself or Sunny.
Unfortunately, Huang Xu seemed to have seen through her plan, so he said goodbye and prepared to leave.
When Goo Hara saw Huang Xu wanted to leave, she quickly grabbed him.
"Oppa, do you still want to buy this house? I'll give you a discount."
"I won't buy it. Besides, I advise you not to sell it. If you don't want to live in it, just rent it out."
At this time, Huang Xu no longer wanted Gu Hara's house.
Given the location of this place and the configuration of the house, the housing prices here could double in a few years, and he didn't want to take advantage of Goo Hara.
At the same time, he seemed to have a little impression that Goo Hara's house was finally sold in 15. It only took three years for the total price of the house to reach billion.
Compared to the 1.1 billion she paid for the purchase, this can be considered a remarkable return on investment.
She also made headlines for this reason.
In addition to this, she also made a considerable income from renting out the property during these three years.
This made her a famous investor in the entertainment industry.
Huang Xu even suspected that their agency, later called Land Society, started investing crazily in various industries after seeing her profits.
This turned them from being one of the top brokerage companies in Korea at the beginning of the century into real estate and jewelry tycoons.
Of course, these are all later stories. At this time, Huang Xu just wanted to persuade Goo Hara to stop selling the house.
After all, such a good location has great potential for appreciation. If Gu Hara missed it, she would really lose a lot.
What Huang Xu didn't realize was that while he was constantly persuading Goo Hara, her eyes were always staring at him.
It was not until Huang Xu became thirsty and was about to stop to drink a sip of water that he realized that Goo Hara on the other side was not paying attention to what he was saying, but was thinking about something else.
Even she herself stopped, she still stood there in a daze.
Huang Xu stretched out his hand and waved it in front of her, allowing her to slowly come back to her senses.
"It's okay."
Hearing Huang Xu's concern, Goo Hara's ears suddenly turned red. She didn't know if it was because she was distracted just now, felt sorry, or because of something else.
However, Huang Xu didn't notice all this. He just wanted to change the other party's mind about selling the house.
But he didn't expect that after he confirmed that everything was fine, he had just said a word, and Goo Hara on the other side said directly:
"Okay Oppa, I won't sell it."
