Chapter 134 London School District Housing

May 2th, 8:00 AM.

Outside the grand Greek-style arched gates of the Sophie Gardens sales office in Robintown, North Bloomsbury, London.

John Sinclair, dressed in a black Robin-style summer suit (modern suit) with a Robin Architecture silver badge pinned to his left breast, finished his beef patty burger from the KFC restaurant, casually tossed the wrapper into the trash can, and then greeted the armed guards standing under the sunshade.

Good morning, Hank!

"Good morning, Mr. Sinclair."

The guard saw him, nodded in response, and let him through the gate of the sales office.

After passing through the spacious carriage parking area in the front yard, John Sinclair entered the large reception hall on the first floor of the sales office, where a dozen or so homebuyers and real estate agents had already gathered.

The uniforms worn by the real estate agents were the same as his; they were formal suits personally designed by the big boss. Although they didn't look as grand as the tailcoats of noble gentlemen, the expensive fabrics and waist-cinching design clearly distinguished them from the clothes of ordinary people.

Upon seeing him enter, Gina, the assistant executive director with captivating brown eyes, dressed in a women's suit and lace blouse, spoke up to remind him: "—Mr. Sinclair, a Mr. Arkwright has been looking for you since early this morning. He's waiting in meeting room number three on the first floor."

"Okay, thank you, Gina!"

John Sinclair smiled and nodded his thanks to her, showing no disdain whatsoever for her being a woman.

The reason is simple: Gina Simmons is said to be the illegitimate daughter of a member of the London City Council. The company specifically recruited her, giving her a relaxed job and a generous salary, in exchange for the member's favor on certain proposals.

The company has arranged for several illegitimate children of nobles and politicians, like Gina, to be placed in various sales offices and headquarters administrative departments, and the results are said to be very good.

These secrets were all heard by John Sinclair from his cousin David Jones, who was the personal lawyer and confidant of the company's big boss, Sir Robin Chan, and was therefore highly credible.

Although he, like most Britons, believed that women should stay at home to take care of children and do housework, instead of going out and competing with men for jobs.

But who made the big boss feel inexplicably sympathetic because he thought his new spinning machine had caused countless women to lose their family spinning income, and he wanted to hire female workers and employees in his factory and company?

He couldn't interfere with the boss's ideas, so he could only accept them.

He shook his head, no longer thinking about these meaningless things, and stepped across the hall to the No. 3 meeting room on the first floor, pushing the door open and entering.

Upon seeing him arrive, the middle-aged man inside immediately put down his teacup, stood up, and said, "Mr. Sinclair! I've made up my mind. I want that apartment from yesterday—"

John Sinclair shook his head before he could finish, saying, "I'm sorry, Mr. Arkwright, that apartment you mentioned was sold yesterday afternoon!"

"What? It's sold! I already brought the banknotes with me!"

The middle-aged man pointed at the handbag on the coffee table and said loudly and angrily, "We already had an agreement; this is a breach of contract!"

"No! Sir! It would be a breach of contract if I didn't sell the apartment to you after you pay and sign the contract."

John Sinclair calmly explained, "You just looked at the apartment yesterday, but you didn't pay or sign a contract—so I have the right to sell it to a willing buyer."

Before the other person could continue speaking, he added, "Now only the middle unit on the third floor of Block B, 12, is left. This unit is cheaper; it's 1120 square feet and only costs £420."

With a down payment of 30%, both American Bank and Mendes Bank can provide you with mortgage loans at an annual interest rate of only 5%, with a maximum loan term of 15 years.

The prices at Sophie Gardens are rising every day, and many people are bringing money to book rooms.

Sir, I must remind you that Robin University and Robin Hospital are located to the west of the Sophie Gardens community. Many aristocrats have purchased apartments here, which will provide great convenience when their children go to university or when they themselves need medical treatment.

In Sir Robin's words, this is a "school district property" and a "high-end medical property," with even higher appreciation potential than Robin Riverside Garden in the South District. You'd better seriously consider it!

Upon hearing this, the middle-aged man immediately complained, "Damn it! This house only has a fifty-year usage right, why is it being sold for such a high price!"

John Sinclair was delighted to see this, knowing that the man was interested, and immediately used his usual sales pitch to explain: "Sir, most houses in London have 99-year leases. If it weren't for the fact that the right to use the property is only for 50 years, these houses wouldn't be selling for only four hundred pounds."

Imagine, once you become a homeowner in the Sophie Garden community, you'll have access to a professional security patrol team that completely isolates the poor and those at risk. Plus, the community has its own daycare and kindergarten, providing professional care and education services for your children.

At the same time, the community also signed a cooperation agreement with Robin University. For the next ten years, Robin University's affiliated schools will reserve 15 enrollment places for the community each year, and students from Robin University's affiliated schools have a high probability of being directly admitted to Robin University without taking the entrance exam.

Your child will then be classmates with future doctors, lawyers, politicians, engineers, and scholars, and will also have priority access to various companies under Sir Robin's name!

For example, my base salary is over £35 a year, and if you include commissions and bonuses, my annual income is more than £150.

As long as I serve the company for 25 years, I can retire directly and receive a monthly pension from the company—such a good job is hard to find anywhere else!

Mr. Arkwright, if you sign the contract today, I can apply for an additional six months of waived property fees for you, worth six pounds. This offer will be unavailable after today!

Richard Arkwright fell into deep thought. He considered the current trend of wealthy Londoners embracing new residential communities, the locational advantages of Sophie Gardens, and the opportunity for his son to directly enter Robin University. Finally, he gritted his teeth and said, "Okay! We'll take this apartment! I'll pay in full, no loan needed!"

But I want you to cover my property management fees for a year! I've already inquired; you get commissions and bonuses for selling houses, and you can even apply for a discount on property management fees for us!

John Sinclair sneered inwardly. We were the ones who leaked this information; otherwise, where would we get our bargaining chips?

He pretended to be caught out and reluctantly said, "Alright! I'll prepare the contract for you right away, but I need to apply to my supervisor for the one-year property fee discount. I just started working today and I'm not sure if the discount has been cancelled yet."
