Chapter 210: As high as a prince
"I'm determined."
Xu Qingshan nodded.
Lin Chenhua was nimble in doing things, and Wang Chuan was quick-thinking. With both of them helping him in the capital, Xu Qingshan felt that there was no pressure on him in whatever he had to do next.
"This yard also has a basement and a basement. The old man said that five or six cars can be parked in the basement. And I have asked that it can be renovated and expanded to a two-story house while retaining the main structure of the yard."
Wang Chuan put his hands in front of him, and he was also looking at the house.
"Grandma, how do you feel?"
Xu Qingshan stood beside his grandmother, bending slightly and asked.
"It's good, but it's too expensive."
The little old lady stretched out her hand and gently played with the zinnias in the flower bed in the courtyard. The flowers were in full bloom.
Xu Qingshan looked at the little old lady's eyes scanning the yard. There was quite a yearning in her eyes, but she pursed her lips tightly and didn't want to speak.
"Do you like it?"
Xu Qingshan asked again.
"Too expensive."
"Grandma, just tell me whether you like it or not."
"Let's go somewhere further away."
"Brother Chuan, help me ask the uncle how much he wants to sell this set. By the way, help me with the renovation. If you need money, let me know."
Xu Qingshan thought for a while and decided.
The little old lady has never behaved like this several times in her life.
She is awkward, and she likes it in her heart, but she doesn't think about buying it.
But Xu Qingshan knew it.
Grandma has always longed to visit the capital and go to Jing'anmen to see the portraits of the leaders she respects and believes in the most.
"Can we afford it?"
The little old lady didn't know how much money Xu Qingshan had, so she frowned and asked.
"Maybe, it's okay. If we can't afford it, we'll buy it somewhere else."
Xu Qingshan smiled and patted the old man's hand.
"Then you have to ask how much the price of this place can rise if it is sold in the future, and whether it will be a good sell."
The little old lady said nonchalantly.
"Okay, okay."
Xu Qingshan agreed repeatedly.
Buying a house is unlike anything else. Even when I was in Longjiang, I often heard other people talk about how much the house someone bought a few years ago has gone up to now.
So she wasn't that repelled.
If these tens of millions are used to buy consumables, the old man will feel very distressed.
"Hey, do you guys have eyes on each other?"
Wang Chuan went to invite the old man over. The old man had two walnuts in his hand and came over energetically to say hello.
"It looks pretty good, I want to ask about the price."
Xu Qingshan said with a smile.
"That's a good feeling."
The old man came over with a plate of walnuts and was about to say something.
"Look at the eaves."
"Feiyan, Brother Chuan just said that."
Xu Qingshan smiled and the uncle was stunned.
"Okay, then look at this verandah. It has a cloisonné roof."
"Uncle, I have already said this."
"Hey!"
The uncle put the walnuts in his pocket and glanced at Wang Chuan, who was standing aside, speechlessly.
"Then you never mentioned this brick, right? This brick!"
"As I said, they are from the same batch as the city wall bricks used in the imperial city. They were produced together with those in the palace."
"You know all this?!"
The old man’s mouth dropped.
You know, this is what he relies on to talk to people. The kid named Wang Chuan on the side has definitely remembered what he said since he was here last time, leaving him useless.
"Okay, it's not unusual inside or outside the courtyard. Old man, I'm going to show you what style is today."
The uncle raised his chin, tilted his mouth, piled up the walnuts again, and walked towards the second courtyard.
Xu Qingshan and the others followed the uncle.
I saw the uncle taking a bronze key and opening the study door that had never been opened in the courtyard.
"I've put this house up, but I haven't opened it to the public yet. This is your first time."
The uncle said proudly, pointing to the furniture in the room.
"Look, the guys in this room are all about huanghuali. It's the top-notch Qiongzhou huanghuali, with this texture and this texture."
The uncle opened his hand and flashed it in front of Xu Qingshan.
"Five hundred years! Five hundred years of top-notch materials have been used to make this study. Look at this cabinet, this shelf, this desk, and this couch."
"Come, take a look."
"Old man, I'm going to tell you about this huanghuali today. Whether this huanghuali is good or not depends on the color. It can be dark or light, and it can't be oily. It can be replenished in the later stage. You can't see the density. Now it's all It’s artificially compacted.”
"If you want to see it, just look at the lines."
This old man really talks a lot.
Xu Qingshan originally thought that the old man was explaining the benefits of this house to him, and then wanted to raise the price for himself. However, after the old man said that he was enjoying himself, he just looked at Xu Qingshan like this.
"Young man, tell me, my house is so nice. It was part of Prince Gong's palace back then. It has good gas, floor heating, water and electricity, let alone decades. If you buy it and live in it, as long as there is popularity in this house, , It will take two to three hundred years." "It's pretty good."
Xu Qingshan nodded.
“It’s just the price”
"You young man, I'm telling you this, old man, I think you look good, you're in love with me, don't worry."
The uncle seemed to have noticed Xu Qingshan's suspicion, and said happily while holding a plate of walnuts.
"Your uncle and I have many yards in the capital. This is 80 meters away from Nanchizi Street. I also have a house in the Dorgon Palace, but that house is a bit bigger and not suitable for you."
The uncle said, took out a piece of paper from his pocket, looked at it, and said.
"If you, kid, tell me whether you want it or not, your uncle and I will be angry too."
"This house occupies an area of 566.66 square meters. It is residential land. The basement is about 500 square meters. The procedures for renovation and addition of the ground have also been completed. It was originally intended to be used as a wedding room for my younger son. If you complete the construction, there will be almost two floors above ground. More than 1,000 square meters of land are available, the transfer fee has been paid, and all other procedures can be completed through official procedures. "
"Let's do this. Based on the current market price of the courtyard house, we'll give you 45,000 per flat."
The uncle plated the walnuts and quoted the price. The old man was there.
Xu Qingshan looked at the real estate quotation that Lin Chenhua had taken for him on QQ on his mobile phone a few days ago. Coupled with the information Wang Chuan had inquired about, the 45,000 yuan could not be said to be expensive, it could only be said to be quite satisfactory.
Wang Chuan stood aside, carrying the old man on his back, quietly nodded towards Xu Qingshan, and made a chopping motion with his hand, Xu Qingshan understood.
The house is priced well, but not yet.
"Uncle, 45,000 is calculated as 566.66, right?"
"Of course, can I still trick you, a young man like you?"
The uncle pursed his lips, seemingly unhappy with Xu Qingshan's distrust.
He happily shared it all afternoon.
"Uncle, it's not my fault, we don't even know each other's names."
"Hey, look at my memory."
The uncle clapped his arm in annoyance and said to Xu Qingshan.
"Young man, what's your surname?"
At the beginning, the uncle would still say that you are here. After hanging out all afternoon, I have become familiar with you. Now I don’t even bother to say anything to you. Looking at it, you are really casual.
"My surname is Xu."
"Hey, I'm so elegant. My surname is Liu, old man. Just call me Uncle Liu."
Only then did the two of them set the price again.
But Xu Qingshan didn't have the intention to settle today, and the uncle didn't want to give up the price. The two didn't reach an agreement, so Xu Qingshan took his relieved grandmother and his silent uncle back to the hotel.
But the price was finally found out.
More than 25 million.
Xu Qingshan really doesn’t have that much money in his hands now. Even if Maybach doesn’t have to pay Cai Wensheng for the time being, Xu Qingshan’s full budget now only costs more than 14 million. The rest has long been invested in halo information and mountain and river games. .
"Mr. Xu, if you are busy, I will go and talk to Uncle Liu next."
Wang Chuan sent Xu Qingshan and the others to the hotel. Seeing that Xu Qingshan was still thinking, he volunteered.
He can now be considered a success in changing careers. If he doesn't want to just be a driver, then he has to perform more outstandingly.
"Uncle, please send grandma back to her room first, and I'll have a chat with Brother Chuan."
Xu Qingshan gestured.
"good."
Lin Chenhua accompanied his mother upstairs first, leaving Wang Chuan and Xu Qingshan in the car.
There were many empty seats in front of the hotel. They parked here and chatted with their car lights on, and no one would bother them.
"Brother Chuan, do you have any ideas?"
"That's not true, but after all, they are locals. You can inquire about the situation and prescribe the right medicine, which can bring down the price to some extent."
Wang Chuan smiled and said.
"Furthermore, the economic situation has not been very good in the past two years, and this house is not cheap. In the past six months, there have been a lot fewer foreign businessmen coming to the capital to buy houses. Banks have tightened lending this year, and this house is not so easy to sell for the time being. "
"Brother Chuan, what do you think of the courtyard house?"
Xu Qingshan nodded and asked again.
He also had the intention of taking the exam.
Xu Qingshan also understood Wang Chuan's posture, wanting to express himself and seeking opportunities. Xu Qingshan didn't dislike this, but actually appreciated it.
It's not that easy to set up a trap to trap yourself.
Xu Qingshan has many means to understand and see through.
But if he really wants Wang Chuan to become his right-hand man in the capital step by step, just relying on some cleverness is not enough.
Lin Chenhua is his brother-in-law, and he carries out his orders unconditionally, so he doesn't need to have a good view of the overall situation.
But if Wang Chuan is used, Xu Qingshan will have to hire people according to their abilities.
“It’s a bit of a crude view.”
Wang Chuan said with confidence in his eyebrows.
"There is only such a capital in China, and there is only so much land in the inner ring of the capital. No matter how the outside world changes, there is only so much land."
"No matter how much it falls outside, it will be difficult to cut it in half here."
"Furthermore, courtyard houses are also a characteristic of our capital, they are different."
Wang Chuan did not talk to Xu Qingshan about any high-level economic analysis or situation analysis.
He used the most down-to-earth words to explain the particularity and cultural attributes of the courtyard house.
"If you live in a courtyard, then I, as the car and horse steward, can also live in the driver's room."
Wang Chuan finally said something very simple.
"That's the root of the imperial city. No one from the capital wouldn't want to live here. In the past, the person who could live here would be as high as a prince."
Xu Qingshan looked at Wang Chuan, who had always been reliable, and said this with bright eyes. For a moment, he didn't know how to evaluate it.
