Chapter 73: Chapter 69 “The Penthouse
“`
Ding!
[Reality interaction successful]
[Host obtained a random property: “Spring Eye” The Penthouse, Type J apartment set]
…
Hmm?
...
Zhou Wang heard the system’s brief notification and momentarily doubted if he heard it wrong.
Apartment… Are you kidding me?!
The incredulous Zhou Wang quickly clicked back into the system interface and read the text again.
[“Spring Eye” The Penthouse, Type J apartment set]
No mistake, the text was correct.
So where was the problem?
I have a freaking 1900-square-meter unbeatable luxury house, and you give me an apartment?
No matter how inexperienced Zhou Wang was, he knew that compared to a 70-year property right residential house, an apartment’s property right was only 40 years. Besides, not only were the utilities commercial, but issues with property rights at expiration were also still in a legal gray area.
Recalling his inherent impression of an apartment, Zhou Wang even suspected for a moment that the system made a mistake.
Not to mention a villa estate, at least a big flat should be arranged, right?
Which high-class tycoon lives in an apartment?!
Huh, wait a minute… Why do the words “Spring Eye” sound so familiar, like I’ve heard them somewhere before?
Triggered by some kind of memory, Zhou Wang quickly opened his phone to search “Spring Eye,” and shortly after a mass of relevant news articles popped up.
“An 800-million sky-high price only got 50 acres of land, Ming City Center CBD…”
“Ming City’s tallest building, Ming City’s new landmark…”
“High-end commercial center, Class A office building, ultra-five-star hotel, luxury apartments all in one, covering shopping leisure, business office, sightseeing direct access…”
“The top of the Spring Eye reveals the country’s top luxury mansion, mysterious buyer still has not moved in…”
“…”
Zhou Wang was dumbfounded, and the related memory also completely emerged.
Spring Eye, when it was developed initially, caused a sensation in Ming City because it was going to replace the existing Henglong Square office building and become Ming City’s tallest building.
But that was at least seven or eight years ago, and because the construction period was too long, many people had already forgotten this matter.
Zhou Wang took a closer look at the news; it turned out that just a few months ago, “Spring Eye” had already been completed and delivered, only because Zhou Wang wasn’t following the news in this area and happened to miss it.
(Insert: The “Spring Eye” in the real world is not yet complete, but in the parallel world where Zhou Wang resides, “Spring Eye” was completed on April 1st.)
In its initial design, the main tower of Spring Eye was supposed to be 456 meters, but because Spring Eye was located right in the heart of Ming City, and underneath was precisely where subway lines intersected, in order not to affect the construction of the subway line 6 value check hall, the actual completed height of the Spring Eye Main Tower was 407 meters.
The entire “Spring Eye” project is divided into the main tower, the auxiliary tower, and the podium building; the main tower as a commercial center is 77 stories high, mainly for office and hotel use, while the auxiliary tower is 71 stories high, principally for … apartments.
When he saw this part of the news introduction, Zhou Wang already realized something.
He quickly added the words “apartment” to the search, and sure enough, another batch of completely different news articles jumped out.
Zhou Wang directly clicked into the real estate company’s official link and found the floor plans for all the apartments on sale.
When Zhou Wang saw that the smallest unit, B2, was 332 square meters, his breath couldn’t help but quicken.
Zhou Wang sat down by the sofa, opened the bottle of Cook Romanee Diamond Champagne priced at 18,888 without hesitation, poured himself a glass, downed it in one gulp, and continued scrolling.
Type A 342 square meters.
Type F 573 square meters.
Type E 612 square meters.
The more Zhou Wang looked, the more exaggerated it seemed; do you call this building area an “apartment”?
Even compared with a real big flat, it was no less impressive!
And more excitingly for Zhou Wang, he still hadn’t seen the “Type J” that the system mentioned.
Swoosh!
Already understanding something, Zhou Wang directly scrolled to the bottom and finally found the so-called Type J that the system blandly described.
“Holy crap!”
Zhou Wang’s pupils shrank violently.
Who has ever seen a floor plan that can’t be displayed purely in two dimensions?!
“Spring Eye” Type J apartment, built-up area… 1860 square meters!
Yes, you didn’t misread, this is an ultra-luxurious apartment around 1900 square meters.
Two stories and two units, built from the 70th to the 71st floor of the auxiliary tower, only two such layouts were constructed in total.
Apart from offering an enormous living space, these two top-floor apartments boast private sky gardens, sky pools, an oversized terrace, etc.
Damn it… how is this still an “apartment”; this should be a “big flat mansion” instead!
Zhou Wang forced himself to calm down and barely managed to regain his composure.
Having gone through the system’s mandatory learning phase, Zhou Wang still hadn’t quite achieved calmness in handling affairs, yet he hadn’t been this out of control for a long time.
System daddy, you are truly badass!
A real estate blind box of 1880 square meters, and you actually found a perfect matching house…
After taking a few deep breaths, Zhou Wang finally remembered to be concerned about the price.
According to the real-time information of a real estate app, to reserve a Spring Eye apartment, you must first have 500,000 frozen on Alipay, and to see the house in person, you also need to verify assets, with the card needing at least 10 million.
Unfortunately, Zhou Wang searched for a long time and still couldn’t find the price of the Type J apartment online, only finding the average prices of several other unit types.
Currently sold apartments have an average price of about 47,000 yuan per square meter, meaning even the smallest B2 unit sells for over 15 million.
If calculated only based on the average price, the selling price of his 1860-square-meter top-floor apartment would also approach 90 million!
And the actual selling price would definitely be higher than this, because of the influence of factors like layout, scarcity, and floor; the real transaction price could easily reach over a hundred million.
Back when Zhou Wang got the Ferrari 812c, he once jokingly made a wild desire—
“I’m driving a ten-million supercar, so it’s not excessive to live in a billion-dollar mansion, right?”
Who would have thought this would actually become a reality?
“Whew…”
After the initial excitement passed, Zhou Wang slowly calmed down; he poured himself another glass of champagne, looked at the few million left in his bank card, and suddenly grinned.
Just looking at this balance, he felt he didn’t even deserve to move in.
Suddenly, Zhou Wang recalled a period when a certain kimchi drama became extremely popular, named “The Penthouse.” Reportedly containing spicy scenes, Zhou Wang clicked on it and watched a few moments. It depicted stories of financial tycoons vying for the right to live on the top floor of a luxury apartment.
Well, unlike them—
I started at the top!
Calming down, Zhou Wang finally noticed two messages on the system interface that he hadn’t seen yet.
[Please host, proceed to “Spring Eye” with an ID card to receive the property in three days]
[The unredeemed 20 square meters area of the property has been converted into cash, please pay attention to receiving it]
Hmm?
Zhou Wang’s eyes lit up.
The extra 20 square meters were even cashed in, such a conscientious system daddy, this deserves high praise!
