Chapter 209 How about buying a courtyard house directly?
"Don't worry, just keep driving the car. I'll send you a contract and you sign it. Don't rush to give me the money. I'll give it to you when you have more money."
Cai Wensheng smiled heartily.
He left the car in the capital because he thought about this problem.
In fact, he had planned to sell this Maybach in the capital. Anyway, there was a high probability that he would not return to the capital to live permanently.
But since Xu Qingshan borrowed 1 million from him and returned him 2 million not long after, Cai Wensheng suddenly found that there was not much he could do to help this budding young man.
Although the relationship between Xu Qingshan and Cai Wensheng is still sweet.
But if something happened later, Cai Wensheng felt that the current interaction between the two was not close enough, so this happened.
"Brother, how embarrassing this is."
Xu Qingshan said with a smile.
He probably understood what Cai Wensheng meant.
"Don't be polite to your brother. You will live in the capital for several years now. Why don't you consider buying a house in the capital directly?"
Cai Wensheng changed the topic.
"If you want to buy a house, if you trust your brother and me, then just buy a big one, as close to the city center as possible. Just buy whichever house you like. If you don't have enough money, tell me that I will wait for you later. It’s not too late to give it to me if you make more.”
"Okay, then I owe my brother another favor."
Xu Qingshan tacitly understood.
Both of them are heading towards a stable relationship with each other.
Favor is something that comes and goes between you and me. If you don't owe something, you can't pay it back. How can you get favor from someone else?
The next day.
Xu Qingshan was sitting in the car, taking his grandmother and uncle around the capital.
Wang Chuan smiled and congratulated.
"Congratulations to Mr. Xu on your new car."
He received news from Cai Wensheng today. Starting today, the car will have to be handed over to Xu Qingshan, and his labor contract will also be transferred to Xu Qingshan.
Xu Qingshan waved his hand.
"Brother Chuan, let's get down to business. You are a local. My uncle is not very satisfied with finding a house these days. Do you know of any better houses for sale nearby?"
Lin Chenhua has been looking at houses at various agencies these days.
But maybe it was because Lin Chenhua knew he was from outside when he heard his accent, and his people were a bit more rigid, so the agents didn't show Lin Chenhua good properties.
Lin Chenhua only remembered the key points Xu Qingshan said, but from the looks of it, none of the houses were reliable.
Today they went out for a walk with the intention of looking at houses.
But after talking to Cai Wensheng, Xu Qingshan also felt that since he had money, it was better to buy a house in the capital directly.
Thinking about the outrageous housing prices in Beijing, even if you just buy it and let it go, you won't lose money at all.
"Mr. Xu, what kind of house do you plan to buy?"
Wang Chuan asked patiently.
"Here in the capital, there are apartments, houses, and courtyard houses."
"What's the current price of a courtyard house?"
Xu Qingshan suddenly asked.
"Is it a courtyard house? It depends on the location."
Wang Chuan thought for a moment and controlled the steering wheel steadily.
"Houhai, do you know? The place you went to the day before yesterday, the private house in Ya'er Hutong, was bought by a wealthy Shanghai businessman last year for 70 million yuan. The courtyard is also called Nan Study, and the rooms in the house are The beams are all made of golden nanmu, and the furniture is also made of golden nanmu. Now some people are bidding up to 90 million, and that person has no intention of selling it yet. It is estimated that it will exceed 100 million soon. "
After Wang Chuan finished speaking, Xu Qingshan was silent for a moment.
"How about we talk about housing?"
"Mr. Xu, not every courtyard house has this price. If you really want to buy it, I know there is a house for sale on Nanchizi Street. I can take you to see it."
"Nanchizi Street?"
Xu Qingshan blinked, he had never heard of it.
"Yes, Nanchizi Street is right next to Jing'an Gate, less than a mile away from the city tower. It is connected to Donghuamen Street to the north and East Chang'an Street to the south. There are many small and large alleys over there, such as Feilong Bridge and Porcelain Warehouse. Really? When it comes to courtyard houses, it has to be authentic over there.”
"The location is so good?" Xu Qingshan asked in surprise.
"Can I buy this location? The price shouldn't be low."
"I saw that house last time I passed by. The yard the waiter entered was seventeen or eighteen meters from east to west. There were probably more than thirty people from north to south. It totaled almost an acre of land. But that side probably needed to be rebuilt. Renovation should cost RMB 40,000 to RMB 50,000 per square meter.”
Wang Chuan weighed and counted and said.
He didn't know how much money Xu Qingshan had, so he could only report based on what he knew.
"A house of five to six hundred square meters is worth four to fifty thousand square meters."
Xu Qingshan repeated it.
About 20 to 30 million.
It's hard to comment on this price point.
For Xu Qingshan at this time, it is not unaffordable, but it will occupy a lot of working capital, which is not very good for the subsequent development of his small industries.
"How about going to take a look first?"
Seeing Xu Qingshan's hesitation, Wang Chuan suggested.
"Okay, let's go take a look first."
Xu Qingshan thought for a while.
What if you don’t like it when you go there?
It's just a house viewing, and it's not like I want to buy it right away. If the old lady really likes it, Xu Qingshan will grit his teeth and get a loan.
Half an hour later, the car stopped on Nanchizi Street. Xu Qingshan and his group got out of the car, and Wang Chuan led the way to a dilapidated-looking courtyard house.
Wang Chuan worked quickly and had already contacted the landlord on the way here.
The landlord is a bald man wearing a coat in summer.
It is said that it is because their son and daughter-in-law are immigrating to the United States. This courtyard house was originally planned to be renovated and used as a wedding room for them. However, it is no longer used. They simply sold it and let them go to the New Yorker to buy Dabieye. go.
Maybe it's because the uncle from Jingcheng loves to chatter, and he's no weaker than the uncle from Jinmen.
Fortunately, an old man came and took the landlord away to play chess. He actually gave the key to Wang Chuan and asked him to go to the chess stall by the Changpu River after viewing the house.
The uncle left, and the room suddenly became much quieter.
Wang Chuan also had the opportunity to speak and use his strengths.
"Mr. Xu, old lady, Mr. Lin."
Wang Chuan is not tired. Whoever he talks to must have this honorific title.
"Look at the eaves. This courtyard is a two-story eaves."
"In our ancient times, when it was written in the book about the decisive battle on the top of the Forbidden City, the heroes had to fly over the eaves and walk over the wall. The eaves they walked on were these two layers of eaves."
"If you look carefully, you can see that the protruding seal on the cornice is engraved with animal patterns, flowers and birds, and there are two small animals on the cornice over there."
Wang Chuan was wearing a suit, and he really looked like he was explaining something.
"Below the cornices is the verandah, which is often used to shelter from the rain. When you want to cool off in the summer, if you are afraid of being exposed to the sun, you can find a deck chair and sit under this veranda."
"The color of the roof is hand-painted, and the window openings are also hand-carved."
"Look at the roof and the texture of the beams. This feeling is something we only have in China."
Xu Qingshan and the three of them have never heard anyone talk about these details of the courtyard.
At this time, it seems that there is something really exquisite and refined in the capital.
"This house is divided into an east wing and a west wing. Behind it is a second courtyard. The old lady lives in it. There is also land in the yard to grow flowers and vegetables to cultivate your sentiments. There is a pond over there, and you can raise some koi in it. Not bad either.”
Wang Chuan is obviously only here for the second time, but when he sees each thing, he can immediately think of its use and introduce it.
"Brother Chuan, have you been here? Or is this landlord a relative of yours?"
After Xu Qingshan took a look at it, the four of them stood in the yard. The little old lady was touching here and there, and Lin Chenhua was observing the safety of the four sides. Xu Qingshan asked Wang Chuan.
"That's not true."
Wang Chuan touched his head in embarrassment.
"Isn't this considered a job change? I wanted to perform well. I came to Beijing a few days ago. When Mr. Lin was looking for a house, I also looked for it privately, and I happened to find this house."
