Chapter 615 Rich District
Obviously, Ning Weimin made a joke again in the transaction of No. 5 Courtyard in Dongsi Si Tiao because his soul was out of touch with the times.
He really never expected that these days, even the leasehold rights of a building can be purchased for one to two thousand yuan per room, and the property rights of a bungalow can be so cheap.
But this is still the fact.
On the way to see the house, Ning Weimin roughly understood the situation through casual chats with Director Lu.
I'm sorry for the private housing policy, because the country has just liberalized it for a short period of time.
Therefore, in order to strictly prevent private homeowners from borrowing their houses for profit, the control measures are inevitably excessive.
According to the country's current housing evaluation method, the designated transaction price does conflict with the actual market demand.
The transaction level of housing prices in urban areas is more than 50% lower than the actual construction cost of houses.
Even if the buyer and the homeowner reach a consensus and privately give the homeowner more money, it will not work.
If this kind of behavior is discovered by the housing management department, not only will a fine be imposed, but the real estate transaction will also be invalidated.
Coupled with the problem of tenants being unable to vacate, it is always a headache.
This resulted in a deserted appearance at the door of the housing management office, which is actually responsible for private property rights transactions.
No one can make money from this kind of transaction at the moment.
On the contrary, public housing transactions are a blind spot in the law and are not protected by the law.
But because this transaction process is transparent, one hand gets the money and the other houses.
You can also let someone set the price, and there is no problem of tenants not leaving.
On the contrary, at the door of the housing exchange station, there are crowds of people who are thinking about how to resell public housing every day.
This is the choice of the market, dictated by interests.
It seems incredible, but it is actually logical.
In addition, I have to say that the house the old lady is selling is really good.
Every aspect is much better than Ning Weimin imagined.
Before even seeing the house with his own eyes, Ning Weimin just drove the car into the alley in Sitiao, and he could clearly feel the difference in the houses here because the alleys are different from each other.
After the founding of the People's Republic of China, there were practical problems such as population migration and urban construction needs.
Most of the hutongs in Beijing have signs of manual demolition, reconstruction, and repairs due to the addition of toilets and telephone poles.
In particular, as an emergency measure, the government once encouraged self-built houses that exploited every opportunity and increased the area of the original housing through "connection, promotion, and expansion" projects.
It will have a greater impact and damage to the original appearance of the hutong.
Weijia Hutong, where Majia Garden is located, is pretty good.
But the original alley was straight, so the distance between the roads was reduced, and the old trees in the alley were cut down.
The placement of poles and toilets is completely disorganized.
Not to mention other places.
The more people live in the alley, the more messy the streets and the more dilapidated the walls.
Because many residents have no space at home, they like to put unused clutter outside.
Because there are so many people passing by, the walls on the street are naturally damaged.
This is all due to the objective conditions of real life.
But on the other hand, the places where wealthy families lived together in the past were different.
You know, before liberation, these mansions, or house gates, had their own toilets repaired.
Electrical facilities are also laid out.
And after liberation, such houses were also occupied by large agencies and large units.
There are many cases where senior cadres and celebrities move in.
Therefore, areas like this not only maintain the low-density characteristics of wealthy areas, but also receive adequate care from the housing authorities.
So both the style of the hutongs and the large number of courtyard buildings existing in the hutongs have basically remained unchanged.
With a total length of 726 meters and a width of seven meters, Dongsi Si Tiao was formed in the Yuan Dynasty. It is exactly this kind of hutong filled with wealthy families.
There are twenty-six ancient locust trees here, all of which are over a hundred years old.
The exquisite gatehouses sit one next to another, which is enough to show that these mansions were not ordinary homes in the past. For example, Courtyard No. 83 in the west of the alley still retains intact the minting institution of the Ming and Qing Dynasties, the Dongzuo Factory of the Baoquan Bureau of the Ministry of Revenue.
The complete courtyard house at No. 85, according to Director Lu, was originally the residence of the general supervisor of the East Works Factory of the Baoquan Bureau of the Ministry of Housing and Urban-Rural Development.
The two-story building at No. 86 belonged to the former "Hengchang Ruiji" foreign store.
Although the color is plain, it has now become the Dongsi Hotel where ordinary people can come and go at will.
But the mixed structure of stone and wood and the combination of Chinese and Western styles are very unique.
At first glance, this building was built by big merchants who spent huge sums of money during the late Qing Dynasty and the Republic of China.
As for the south side of this alley, although there are not many house numbers and the entrance is not large, it is not an ordinary house.
Most of them are the back doors of those big houses in "Sanjo".
For example, the back garden of Yingpu's mansion in Jiangnan Liangdao used to be inside one of the gates.
But Director Lu couldn’t figure out which family it was.
In fact, even the No. 5 courtyard that Ning Weimin wants to buy is not an ordinary household.
Speaking of which, it is a genuine residence of royal relatives.
Ning Weimin was quite surprised to learn from Director Lu that Courtyard No. 5 was actually the residence of Emperor Daoguang's family, Mianyi.
Although Courtyard No. 5 is only a partial hospital.
It must be put together with Courtyard No. 3 and Courtyard No. 1 to get the overall original appearance of the old "yellow belt" mansion.
Although this Mianyi is neither Beizi nor Baylor, he is just an ordinary clan member.
But I can’t stand someone with pure blood and high seniority.
Every old local resident knows the origin of this house, and they still call it "the emperor's uncle's house".
Think about it, Ning Weimin suddenly found that he was going to take over the home of the royal relatives.
How beautiful it feels to be able to enjoy the life of the emperor's uncle from now on.
In short, when Ning Weimin drove down this straight alley and listened to Director Lu's introduction, it was like entering a three-dimensional museum of history.
On both sides of the road are either mansion gates or house gates, gatehouses of different shapes, and the dancing shadows of trees above the alley, all seem to tell the depth of the alley.
Even when parking the car, he immediately found a dozen or so strange things on the wall of the reverse room in Courtyard No. 5.
Out of curiosity, I asked Director Lu again, and I found out that these things turned out to be the horse-tying stones used to tie horses in the past.
From the number of these things, he could completely imagine that the emperor's uncle's mansion used to be filled with guests.
I couldn't help but think of the words I once comforted Kang Shude because of Ma's Garden.
"As for your Ma's Garden, it doesn't matter even if you don't come back. As the saying goes, if the old doesn't go, the new won't come. I'm still there. When I get rich in the future, Wouldn't it be better for you to buy a house on the Shicha beach? It's better than yours, so you can still live like a rich man and enjoy the view of the lake every day."
It was just to persuade the old man to think about it. Come on, Ning Weimin was so arrogant on purpose.
As a result, his filial piety warmed Kang Shude's heart.
You can talk arrogantly, but you are still teased and taught by the old man.
Kang Shude answered him this way.
"You kid, just pull me down. Why don't you buy a house along the coast of Haizi? You just talk stupid things and don't know how to brag. You are so ignorant."
"We have some in Beijing. As the old saying goes, the east is rich and the west is noble, the south is poor and the north is humble. It refers to the division of living groups. Remember, the descendants of Aixinjueluo and most of the Manchu princes in the Qing Dynasty lived in Xicheng District. "East is rich and West is noble" means "West is noble", so the West City has the most palaces."
"And the East City gathers the most influential bureaucrats and politicians, the most luxurious wealthy businessmen, and the rest. The famous families of the Eight Banners. Together they constitute the "rich in the east" and "rich in the west". It is precisely because of these two major consumer groups that the three major downtown business districts of "Dongsi, Xidan and Gulouqian" are formed. "
"As for the Shichahai you mentioned...you can even say that the entire coast of Sanhai, including the houses along the Tongzi River, is also in Xicheng District, but because of its proximity to the water, this area is. Residential houses. You must know that in the past, ordinary people were willing to use the river water at will, and there were many people who made a living by fishing in the river, so the houses along the Sanhai coast were not a gathering place for the rich. How can it be compared with Ma’s Garden? It’s so different.”
"On the contrary, most of the houses there are old and dilapidated, either connected houses or row houses. Even in places with good scenery, there are only some shops on the shore. Except for the northern edge of Houhai where Soong Ching Ling's former residence is located, that is where Haizi ends. There are really not many good courtyard houses along the coast, so if you want to buy a house along the Sanhai coast, you will be disappointed.”
After hearing this, Ning Weimin couldn’t help but laugh. Of course.
But after losing face, I also gained knowledge and remembered what Master said more firmly.
Now it turns out to be true. This trip to Dongsi Si Tiao is the best verification.
He really knows what a good courtyard house is and what a high-end old mansion is.
It’s true that Master said it all. The old man is sincere and does not deceive others!
