Chapter 613: Joy falls from the sky
There is an old saying that when luck comes, not even Kunlun Mountain can stop it.
This is true.
This was Ning Weimin’s personal experience when he stepped forward to help Kang Shude reclaim Ma’s Garden.
First of all, the process of closing the house itself was relatively smooth.
Ning Weimin wasn't in too much of a hurry, everything was going according to his plan.
In mid-April, almost all the residents in Majia Garden were cleared.
Only one family with an area of 16 square meters is left, and they have not yet moved out.
Even this resident stayed until the end because of special circumstances, and it was not because he really didn’t want to move.
Speaking of this room, it was originally occupied by an old man who was nearly sixty years old.
It is said that he is also an editor of a publishing house, quite an old-school intellectual.
A few years ago, this old man passed away due to a sudden heart attack.
His only surviving relatives are his son and his family.
His son still works in Jinling, takes root there and has children.
So the actual situation of this cabin is that no one has lived in it for more than two years. The curtains are drawn and the door is locked all year round.
Needless to say, Director Wei of Jingshan Street had already sent a notice to the old man's son specifically for this matter.
Find a way to contact the old man's son, hoping that he could return to Beijing as soon as possible to go through the relocation procedures.
After receiving the notice, the old man’s son replied that he was very busy at work.
He still needs a few days to complete his work before he can ask for leave from his employer.
In this case, this matter can only be delayed temporarily.
Considering that it is not easy to buy tickets, there are twists and turns in asking for leave.
It is completely reasonable for the old man's son to be delayed for several months.
The key is that in this situation, Ning Weimin can conclude that the other party cannot afford to waste time.
Even if we return to the capital, we will definitely handle it in a clean and crisp manner.
Since you have money and no shortage of houses, you just need to wait for the other party to make a choice.
He is not worried at all about how it will be resolved in the end.
As for the yard occupied by the factory next door, although it has not been moved yet, Director Wei of the street also gave the letter of approval.
We have almost found a place. It is the basement of a newly built residential building, with an area of about 700 square meters.
As long as Ning Weimin fulfills his agreement and pays one year's rent, which is almost three thousand yuan, to the street first.
The street can then start organizing manpower and move things bit by bit.
It only takes about ten days to complete the entire relocation work.
There is no doubt that when things are done to this extent, it can be said that there is only a thin line between raw rice and cooked rice.
Probably the remaining big white duck can’t fly anywhere either.
Can Ning Weimin not be practical?
The result is not only practical, it is precisely because he behaved too rich and powerful this time and did things so beautifully.
Even the good things he had never thought of actually fell from the sky and landed on his forehead.
The one who smashed him was so happy that he almost sang "Sister Lin fell from the sky".
Because Dongcheng District is a gathering place for courtyard houses, the housing management office has certainly carried out more than one case of vacating private houses.
Naturally, there will be people with similar situation to Ning Weimin who will also come to the housing management department to advocate the implementation of the policy.
In this kind of matter, everything is easy to say, except that the issue of resettlement of the tenants is difficult to deal with.
In legal terms, they are bona fide third parties.
Moving here is a problem caused by historical reasons and policy changes.
No matter what, these existing tenants cannot be evicted just because private landlords request to take back their properties or the housing management department implements policies.
So usually the housing management department can return the house to the owner who claims the right to take the deed.
But if the residents are unwilling to leave, they have to continue to live here.
Rent is revertable to "1957 standards".
The housing management department will no longer collect the rent, and this power will be transferred to the landlord. But at the same time, home repairs have become the responsibility of the homeowner.
Think about it, what is the point of the homeowner taking back the property?
The so-called "1957 Standard" refers to the rent set by the government for bungalows in 1957, which is 20 cents per square meter.
The monthly rent for a standard room of 15 square meters is only three yuan and ten cents.
For a courtyard house of 200 to 300 square meters, the monthly rent is less than RMB 80, based on the number of rooms with seven rooms and five rooms on each side.
Including the cost of maintaining the house, how much money can the homeowner get?
The key is that you can't bear it. One household will come to make trouble today, and another will come to cause trouble tomorrow.
There are so many things to worry about in this house, why not worry about it?
Now is a new society. Most people have offices and have to work. Almost everyone lives a step-by-step life.
If I have to run errands for the house every day in addition to going to work, I'm afraid I'll be exhausted. I really can't afford to waste this time.
As a result, many homeowners were unprepared and shouldered a big burden, because the repossessed house was even more troublesome.
This is the case in No. 5 Courtyard of Dongsi Si Tiao.
The owner of this house is an old lady, and the deed was left to her by the old man.
There is no one else in the family except two daughters, two sons-in-law, a grandson and a granddaughter.
The house of this family was bought by the old man from a Kuomintang officer who fled on a plane when the city was closed before liberation.
Originally, I was thinking about getting the house back so that the family could move back.
The years their family lived in No. 5 Courtyard, they missed the front porch and back building, the pomegranate tree, and the screen wall very much.
So I started running as soon as I got the news.
Unexpectedly, the house is coming back, but after so many years, the house has become extremely old.
The color paintings are all faded, and the exquisite carvings are also damaged.
There are seven families living in the courtyard. Not only are every room occupied, but they are also filled with small rooms.
It has already transformed into an out-and-out large courtyard.
Not only did they not want to go back, but they were extremely upset because they got the house back.
After I returned to my house in the second half of last year, one winter passed, and the water pipes alone froze and cracked three times because the residents forgot to return the water, which almost killed the family.
You know, the winter in Beijing is really cold these days.
The plumber is not willing to do the errands that must be assigned by the public, let alone the work that you come to ask for privately.
At the very least, you need two boxes of good cigarettes, plus a meal of good wine and food, before someone is willing to come.
So the old lady and her family are in trouble because of this small courtyard.
It costs twenty yuan to repair a water pipe.
The key is that those who beg grandpa to sue grandma still have to be angry. What are you trying to do?
It was not enough to just ignore it. Cutting off the water supply was a major event that affected people's basic life. All six residents in the hospital had to come to her house.
Nothing else, the old lady really regretted it, and started to contact the housing management department again, asking the state to help resettle the residents in this courtyard.
How can the housing management office take care of this?
Coincidentally, as soon as Ning Weimin's case of evicting residents at his own expense came up, people from the housing management department had something to say.
They showed the old lady two ways to go.
It was said that we should either follow Ning Weimin’s example and get the house with our own money and move the residents out.
Or just sell the house.
Who to sell to?
It's so far away but so close.
Since General Manager Ning of Renjia Tan Palace could spend so much money to move more than sixty households.
I don’t think I care about moving a few more families.
Just like that, with the help of the housing management department, the old lady and her family found Ning Weimin.
I offered to buy the No. 5 courtyard in Dongsi Si Tiao.
