May 26, 2003, Monday, Yanjing.
This was Sun Tao and Du Juan's first day in Yanjing. The person who came to pick them up at the airport was Ma Bo's secretary Xiao Wang.
Xiao Wang drives a Toyota, and old BJ is basically a talker. Within ten minutes of getting in the car, you will know everything you want to know.
Xiao Wang’s real name is Wang Yisheng. He is 26 years old. He graduated from the Chinese Department of Peking University. His wife is a college classmate and now works in a ministry. His father is a professor at Beijing Normal University and his mother works in the library. His wife’s parents are also teachers. They are childhood sweethearts and have lived together since childhood. In a compound, went to the same kindergarten...
"Oh, Ma Tai is having a meeting this afternoon, and it will be chaired by our Director Zheng. He can't ask for leave so I can apologize to you."
Sun Tao, "What are you sorry for? He was too polite to say that. Besides, it's my fault. The filming started on Wednesday and I came over on Monday, causing you trouble."
Du Juan said weakly, "I'm sorry, Manager Qin can't come over because I just took over the job and bought the ticket without checking in first. I'm causing trouble to you, Brother Wang."
Wang Yisheng chuckled and said, "Why are you causing trouble? Who is not a newcomer? I understand you very well. But, haha, Mr. Sun, I have to tell you a crime. This time I took it upon myself to arrange for you to stay in the Lama Temple. .”
……
Yonghegong? Sun Tao had heard of this place name, and it sounded familiar.
Just two days ago, he went online to read sports news and saw a piece of news related to the Lama Temple. It said that Milu had left and the courtyard house where he often stayed in Yanjing was sold to sports reporter Dong Lu. The price seemed to be 550,000. .
What the poster means is that Dong Lu is too expensive to buy, and the apartment will no longer be valuable if Milu leaves. The normal price should be more than 400,000...
Sun Tao was a football watcher, and Dong Lu later turned the courtyard into a football activity center. In 2020, bored people on the Internet priced the house at 15 million.
……
"Yonghegong, is there a hotel over there?"
Wang Yisheng laughed, "Although it is convenient to stay in a hotel, it lacks the atmosphere of life and the transportation is not convenient...
Hey, forget it, I won’t hide it from you. Sister Dujuan just called me before she got on the plane. She didn’t tell me how many of you there were and I couldn’t book a hotel here. I just thought of the houses in Yonghegong. There are three rooms in total with an area of more than 160 square meters, the east-west wing and the master bedroom. The two of you can live in it, and three to six people can live in it. And you will have to stay at least three or two weeks this time to experience the life of our old BJ..."< br>
At four o'clock in the afternoon, the Toyota parked at the entrance of an alley.
"It's quite quiet here. There are only three courtyards and two courtyards in this alley. Our TV station. I heard that *** Sanatorium was used. In the past, our TV station often arranged for Hong Kong and Taiwan celebrities to stay here. The conditions inside are quite good. It’s just that the car can’t be driven in, but everything else is really good.”
It's really nice, with a vermilion-lacquered door, a one-foot-high threshold, a small courtyard, terrazzo floor, and a small tree planted to the left and right of the door. Sun Tao took a glance and knew it was his favorite crabapple. The east and west wings. , the main houses are all antique buildings.
Why do you say antique? Because the shape is of carved beams and painted pillars, with high eaves and teeth, and intrigues, but it is so new that it doesn’t look like the antiques of Panjiayuan from the Western Zhou Dynasty.
Dujuan, "Wow, Siheyuan! It's great."
Sun Tao touched his nose, girl, you stole my line, but just grab it, we will live in this quiet courtyard for more than half a month, you will know the rules from now on.
Wang Yisheng, "Hahahahaha, what is this courtyard called? In our place, this thing is just a bungalow. It is praised as a large courtyard. The general specification of a courtyard is that there are two courtyards and there must be east and west wings."
Du Juan, "Aren't these the east and west wing rooms?" Wang Yisheng, "It seems that I built it blindly. The depth is too narrow."
Du Juan, "Oh~~~"
Sun Tao, hahaha, luckily she stole the line, otherwise I would have been embarrassed.
In order to help Du Juan ease the embarrassment, Sun Tao asked casually: "Are the housing prices here expensive? I saw on the Internet a few days ago that Dong Lu from the sports world bought Milu's house for more than 600,000..."
Wang Yisheng, "540,000. We passed by it when we just came here, on the street in front. In fact, I told you that it was expensive. Alas, we Chinese people have such a good reputation. In fact, if you think about it, even Milu will be worth it." Why would he leave a house in Yanjing after he left? He must be in a hurry to cash out. If you are willing to work with him, I dare not say 450,000, but I can definitely wipe out the fraction of 40,000. "
Sun Tao paused for a moment. He saw that Wang Yisheng seemed to know a lot about the real estate market and was going to ask him if he could get a deal.
"But I think Dong Lu is not at a loss. The house prices in Yanjing have been rising steadily in the past two years. If he can get it in 2010, I guess he can double it. Oh, 1.08 million may be difficult, 100 It's definitely fine.
Hey, Mr. Sun, I think you might as well buy an apartment with us so that it will be much more convenient for you to travel to Yanjing in the future. ”
Sun Tao laughed loudly, "Hahaha, I really want to, but I don't have many friends in Yanjing. I'm afraid of being cheated."
Wang Yisheng slapped his chest, "Hey, that's it! If you don't trust the agency, please contact me. I won't even charge you an agency fee. You just need to tell me your psychological price and requirements for the area and location. Two weeks , oh, it doesn’t even take two weeks, I can help you find a house you are satisfied with in ten days.”
Sun Tao took a few steps forward and looked at the environment. The courtyard wall was more than two meters high, with gray tiles and red walls.
"How much does this set cost?"
Wang Yisheng thought for a moment, "around 500,000 yuan, but including decoration, it will cost about 600,000 yuan. Eh!"
Wang Yisheng suddenly looked at Sun Tao and smiled, "Mr. Sun, you are not interested in this place, are you?"
Sun Tao waved his hands repeatedly, "A gentleman does not take away people's beauty. I am just making an example."
"Hahaha, you don't need to use metaphors. Just stay here tonight and I will give you an accurate answer tomorrow."
Wang Yisheng came close to Sun Tao and whispered in his ear, "I'll give you an explanation. Don't say it was me who said it.
... Our station is dealing with assets that have nothing to do with the core business. This trend has also started in Shougang in the past few years, which is called service outsourcing and refined division of labor. This apartment is either high or low, and the leaders and wealthy people at home will not see it. Go up, those who don’t have a house can’t afford it...”
……
At 4:50 in the afternoon, Wang Yisheng finished introducing all the water and electricity switches, remote controls, etc. and handed the keys to Sun Tao, "Mr. Sun, I won't accompany you for dinner..."
Sun Tao, "Okay, okay, go back quickly, your new wife is still waiting."
Wang Yisheng laughed and walked away. When everyone left the courtyard, he suddenly poked his head in again, "Mr. Sun, please wait for my news!" (End of Chapter)
