Upon hearing this, Tanaka Haoyi quickly inquired, “If she still can’t make up her mind, how long will I have to wait for her?”
The salesdy replied, “Typically, there’s a right of first refusal for 24 hours after the intention fee is paid. If the bnce isn’t settled within that time frame, it’s considered a forfeiture.”
“24 hours?” Koichi Tanaka replied, feeling somewhat downcast. “That seems like too long. I need to make this purchase today.”
The salesdy hesitated for a moment, a bit embarrassed, then exined, “Well, sir, we still have other units avable in that building—eight, to be exact. Theyouts are identical, but the floors and locations differ. Once you get above the sixth floor, you’ll have a river view, so there’s not much variation. Interestingly, the second-top floor is actually pricier than the top floor, making it the costliest in the entire building. However, the top floor has its downsides, such as poorer instion, making it hotter in summer and colder in winter. There’s also a risk of water leaks up there, so you might want to consider a different floor.”
Koichi Tanaka shook his head and responded, “Mydy prefers a quiet environment and is looking for a vi. Unfortunately, I haven’t found any suitable optionstely, and your units are sold out. I’m leaning towards the top floor since it won’t be disturbed by noise from above.”<h3 style="background-color:DodgerBlue">
“I understand…” the salesdy said after a moment of thought. “Please hold on, sir. Thedy will be viewing the house soon. If she remains uncertain after her visit, I’ll speak to my supervisor to see if we can expedite her decision. If you’re ready to pay the full amount today, it could be unfortunate if the other party hesitates. I’ll inquire whether a penalty for breach of contract can be arranged. Our penalty isn’t steep—just 100,000 yen against the intention fee.”
Without hesitation, Tanaka Haoyi replied, “Don’t worry about that; just sell it to me directly. I’ll cover the liquidated damages, and I’ll pay double to ensure thatdy is satisfied.”
The salesdy was taken aback and puzzled. “What kind of extraordinary clients are visiting today? One wishes to reserve a house without viewing it, while the other is eager to book without even seeing it. In my years of experience, I’ve never encountered clients as straightforward as you two.”
Considering this, she said to Koichi Tanaka, “Sir, if thedy decides to purchase immediately after her viewing, we can’t breach the contract on our end. That would harm our reputation…”
“Only if it seems she’s indecisive for too long can we allow you to take her ce. That would be reasonable. Most people would understand if this got out…”
“However,” she continued, “I don’t want to give thatdy less than ten minutes to inspect the property. I’d prefer to avoid any bacsh or potential penalties from the authorities, so please wait a moment. We must allow her to finish her viewing.”
Tanaka Haoyi, sensing the salesdy’s firmness, decided it was best to refrain from further discussion. “Then I’ll wait here,” he agreed.
As he spoke, Tanaka Koichi felt a wave of uncertainty wash over him.<fn0049> Th? link to the orig?n of this information r?sts ?n find~novel</fn0049>
Would the other customer decide to buy right after her viewing? If she hesitated, he might still have a chance. But if shemitted to paying the bnce without a second thought, wouldn’t that close the door on his hopes?
With nothing else to do, he resolved to wait and see.
At that moment, the salesdy said politely, “Sir, please feel free to move to the lounge and take a rest.” Just then, the door to the VIP room opened.
Mia (Liu Manqiong), who had paid the intention fee and signed the agreement, emerged alongside Sister Xian and the sales executive.
