Chapter 551 Bought four courtyard houses in one go
“Holy shit! Six courtyard houses? Which of your friends has so many houses?” Fang Minghua was shocked when he heard this.
“A friend of a friend, didn’t you say that? They specialize in real estate agencies. Have you heard of real estate agencies? In our words, they specialize in bringing together business between buyers and sellers of houses! Now there are already some in the south like Shenzhen Specialized real estate agency!" Zhao Hongjun explained on the phone.
"I know, okay, come quickly, I'm still in a hurry to go to Shanghai."
"Okay, I won't delay your grand career, I will fly there tomorrow ! ”
"Come to me directly at the General Political Courtyard, OK!"
After hanging up the phone, Fang Minghua smiled. Unexpectedly, Zhao Hongjun acted very quickly.
It turns out that last autumn when Fang Minghua moved to live in an exclusive courtyard inside Chaoyang Gate, Zhao Hongjun saw it and said he wanted to build a courtyard in Xijing City.
Fang Minghua advised you that you might as well go to Yanjing to buy a courtyard house now. The Asian Games were successfully held, and the country is applying for the 2000 Olympic Games. The city will definitely undergo large-scale transformation.
If you buy a few sets of courtyard houses, whether they are to be demolished or lived in in the future, it will feel quite good - of course, I will show you two suitable ones.
Zhao Hongjun agreed.
From last autumn to now, he has been to Yanjing several times, looking for various connections, and now he finally has something.
The next afternoon, Zhao Hongjun flew to Yanjing and went to the General Political Courtyard to visit Song Tangtang’s grandparents.
But he didn't tell the truth to the old man, he just said that coming to Yanjing was a company matter.
In the evening, Zhao Hongjun naturally did not stay in the General Political Courtyard, but stayed at the Jianguo Hotel. Fang Minghua went to find him the next morning, and the two of them went to meet his real estate middleman.
The two took a taxi to a company near Beixinqiao and met this middle-aged man, about forty years old, named Sun.
Manager Sun was very enthusiastic and introduced them in detail after meeting them.
"These six courtyard houses are located on Nanchizi Street, Dongsiliutiao, and Houhai. I will take you to see them."
After speaking, Manager Sun picked up his desk. took the car keys, walked out of the room, and took the two of them into a red Santana.
The first place we went to was Nanchizi Street near East Chang'an Street. Manager Sun introduced that there are two courtyard houses for sale here.
Nanchizi Street was a street in the southeast corner of the imperial city during the Ming and Qing Dynasties. Since the Qing Dynasty, it has been called Nanchang Street, also known as Donghuamenwai South Street. It has the warehouses and government offices of the Ministry of Internal Affairs. In the early years of the Republic of China, Nanchizi Street was connected to East Chang'an Street, and ordinary civilians began to live here one after another.
After liberation, it was renamed "Sunflower Xiangyang Road" for a period of time, and later restored its original name. It covers a wide range of alleys including Zhangku, Shitoujiao, Jianchang Fengjia, Nanjing, Sheepfold, Minsheng and other alleys.
"This is BJ's rich area." Fang Minghao thought to himself as he sat in the car and looked at the surrounding bungalows.
Before coming to this era, Fang Minghua came to Yanjing once out of curiosity.
At that time, this place was full of luxury courtyards, and some even had multiple courtyards. Of course, these were private mansions, and the doors were closed, so you couldn't see the scenery inside.
But now, this place is in shabby condition, and the courtyard is in disarray. To put it bluntly, it is a large courtyard.
The reason for such drastic changes is that after the millennium, the local government made the renovation and reconstruction of Nanchizi Historical and Cultural Reserve a pilot project for the city. Quickly restore the unique original appearance of the courtyard and double its value.
Fang Minghua and Zhao Hongjun followed Manager Sun and stopped at the entrance of an alley. The three of them walked in. Manager Sun used the key to open the door of a courtyard house and everyone went in to take a look.
Holy shit!
The house inside is dilapidated and the yard is overgrown with weeds. It seems that no one has lived there for many years.
However, the courtyard is quite large. It is considered a medium-sized courtyard with two entrances and exits.
Manager Sun told the two that the owner of this courtyard house had immigrated abroad and no one had lived in the old house for several years, so he was entrusted to sell it.
"So broken?" Zhao Hongjun looked around and couldn't help but muttered: "Is it haunted at night?" "Don't worry, it will definitely not be a haunted house." Manager Sun explained:
“This house is for the people It was built in the early years of the Republic of China and has a history of more than 70 years. Of course, it is a bit old. In addition, it has not been lived in for almost ten years, so it does not seem to be popular. If you buy it and renovate it, it will be quite good. The location is good Ah, the rich family I lived in before!”
Zhao Hongjun was obviously not interested, so he asked him to take him to see a house without saying anything more.
After finishing all six courtyard houses in one go, Zhao Hongjun was very disappointed. Not only were the houses dilapidated, but they also had no heating, water, electricity, or even a bathroom. Going to the bathroom requires walking hundreds of meters. Some locations are not good and the lighting from all sides is not good.
"Manager Sun, Mr. Zhang and I are friends. I heard that you are also familiar with Mr. Zhang, so we can be considered friends. Why don't you introduce this shabby house to me?!" Zhao Hongjun said in a bad tone.
"Mr. Zhao, don't dislike me." Manager Sun said quickly after hearing this: "I finally got this for you. It is very popular. Have you heard of Jackie Chan?"
"Jackie Chan? Is this the Jackie Chan who played "Plan A" in Xiangjiang?" Zhao Hongjun asked rhetorically.
"Yes, that's him!" Manager Sun said: "That's a big star in Xiangjiang. You know he made a big deal last year."
Looking at Manager Sun's slightly mysterious expression, Zhao Hongjun asked: "What a big deal?"
"I bought eight courtyard houses in Yanjing at once! One of them is Kang Youwei's old house! This is absolutely true, they were all bought from me!"
Manager Sun looked serious.
“Really?”
"Of course, why should I lie to you? The courtyard he bought is similar to the one he showed you. He is a big-name star. How can his vision be so different?"
Listen to Manager Sun telling Zhao Hongjun this Fang Minghua listened silently.
It seems that this matter has been rumored on the Internet in later generations.
It is said that in 1990, Jackie Chan came to Yanjing to film a movie, and was fooled by a real estate agent. He bought eight courtyard houses for 500,000 yuan each. The houses were also very dilapidated, and there were no water or electricity.
This decision caused a sensation at the time. Jackie Chan's friends felt incredible after hearing this. They thought Jackie Chan had been deceived and spending so much money on buying these old houses was simply a waste.
They all laughed at Jackie Chan: Is your brain flooded? Spend so much money and buy such a bunch of junk.
However, it turned out that Jackie Chan’s decision was correct in the end. These courtyard houses were worth hundreds of millions. Later I heard that Jackie Chan bought more than a dozen Huizhou buildings in Anhui Province, and later donated four of them to Singapore. It caused a huge response online.
Go to Anhui Province if you have time?
But I’m too busy now.
Now this manager surnamed Sun is bragging about Jackie Chan buying a house. It is probably not him, it is a legend in the industry.
In the end, Zhao Hongjun did not express his position in person, saying that we would discuss it after returning home.
In the taxi back to the hotel, Zhao Hongjun asked Fang Minghua what he thought about the matter.
"I think it's okay. If you don't want it, give me all six sets." Fang Minghua said.
"Damn it. You have such a good appetite. You want such a shabby house?" Zhao Hongjun was surprised when he heard this.
“Didn’t you say I have a good appetite?” Fang Minghua asked.
"You're just different. I'll keep two sets for fun, and the rest is up to you."
"Okay, but the price must be negotiated carefully." Fang Minghua reminded.
“Of course, 600,000 yuan for a house? Are you kidding me? This is wholesale!”
“Also, if the price is agreed upon, I would like to turn a house into a foundation. Yes." Fang Minghua said at last.
