Chapter 22 Change a song to a courtyard?

On August 1997, 8, former British Princess Diana died in Paris.

Regarding the truth of the death of this "people's princess", various conspiracy theories have emerged in the outside world, which have lasted for decades.

The 70-year-old British prince is unpopular in the UK, and a small part of the reason is because of Diana.

There are also news reports in China, but not many people care about it. When the Internet has not yet become popular, how do most ordinary people know the former British princess.

I'm afraid many don't even know that Britain is a constitutional monarchy...

Cao Xuan didn't care either. After a few business performances, his money became a bit more lucrative. He immediately rode his bicycle all over the four cities to buy a courtyard house, and asked Jiang Yue to help him find out.

Jiang Yue was very puzzled by his approach.

In 97, when commercial housing was the most popular, most people in Beijing, especially young people, wanted to live in buildings and say goodbye to messy courtyards.

Cao Xuan, however, did the opposite, leaving the fashionable buildings unbearable, instead spending money to buy courtyards that no one would love to live in except the elderly.

For Jiang Yue's doubts, Cao Xuan didn't know how to explain it, so he could only refer to it as a personal preference.

The reason for this is inexplicable.

Jiang Yue muttered to Cao Xuan that "the money is too much to burn", but she still initiated a relationship to help Cao Xuan inquire.

Jiang Yue's family is unequivocal in being able to marry Han Qi, a big boy. Her mother is a university professor, and her father used to work in the Education Bureau of XC District.

As soon as she made a move, it was much stronger than Cao Xuan's swaying all over the world.

Dashizuo Hutong, with Beihai Park to the west and Jingshan Park to the east, is less than three miles away from the Forbidden City, a 10-minute walk, and about the same distance from Zhongnanhai.

No matter ancient or modern, it has truly achieved "the foundation of the imperial city".

That is to say, it is still possible to pick up a leak. In a few years, the government will start to regulate courtyards, and no amount of money can buy them.

After learning the location of the courtyard, Cao Xuan was bound to win the courtyard.

But when he learned the price, even if he was mentally prepared, he was a little stunned.

For a small courtyard less than 300 square meters, the asking price is 240 million yuan, and the average price is 8000 yuan per square meter.

You must know that at this time, the average price of the four districts in the inner city of the capital was just over 4000 per square meter, and it was still a fashionable building. At 8000 per square meter, you could buy a small villa.

Is it expensive?

expensive.

Is it worth it?

Too much value!

It didn't take long. After the millennium, with the rapid economic development of the capital, the price of courtyard houses began to soar.

By 2020, the courtyard houses in the four districts of the inner city will often start at [-] million yuan. For the courtyard that Cao Xuan looked at, it will cost at least two or three "cool", and there is no market for it.

Cao Xuan thought about his assets. The full amount is not enough. Fortunately, the bank can also apply for a house loan now.

With Cao Xuan's current fame and income, it is very likely that he will succeed.

Cao Xuan did not expect that he was already the "man of destiny" of Goldfinger, and he still hadn't escaped the fate of repaying the mortgage...

In the next few days, Cao Xuan went through various procedures and carried millions of debts, and finally took down this courtyard house.

During the period, Cao Xuan was also censored by some departments. Fortunately, his family background was innocent and his thoughts were firm. He finally passed the border smoothly and became a neighbor next to the "Imperial City".

.........

On September 9, Cao Xuan officially moved to Dashizuo Hutong, and Liu Huan, Jiang Yue, Zhang Chong and others came to help.

The yard that Cao Xuan bought covers an area of ​​about 280 square meters and has a simple layout.

The yard is in the center, with a small rectangular pond in the middle, facing the shadow wall behind the gate. Goldfish are raised in the pond, and a few small trees are planted around the yard for decoration.

The main room is on the north side of the yard. There are three rooms in total. The large room on the left is the living room and dining room, and the two smaller rooms are the study and bedroom. Cao Xuan intends to live by himself.

On the left and right sides of the yard are the east and west wing rooms, all of which are one large and one small suite.

To the south of the yard are the gatehouse and three inverted rooms, followed by the kitchen, utility room and bathroom. As for the toilet, it is located in the corner between the bathroom and the west wing.

"This house is so beautiful."

Zhang Chong quite likes this set of courtyard houses. Of course, he does not rule out the filter bonus after he heard that the courtyard is worth 240 million.

As the owner of the house, Cao Xuan was very happy to be praised, and he talked eloquently about his plan for the courtyard house.

For example, go back and build a grape shed in the yard, find someone to repair the bricks and tiles of the house, get two sets of huanghuali or mahogany furniture, etc.

Zhang Chong is very happy for Cao Xuan, and even more happy that Cao Xuan has developed and has not forgotten his old friend.

Now Zhang Chong has joined Cao Xuan's team as a driver and bodyguard, but before he officially takes up his post, he has to learn to drive with a driver's license.

Although he is not very professional, Cao Xuan values ​​Zhang Chong's loyalty and honesty.

In the position of the personal driver/bodyguard, the character will always rank above the professional...

In the evening, Cao Xuan personally cooked and made a delicious Zaoshi spicy chicken for everyone. Unfortunately, there is no thin-skinned pepper produced in Zaoshi, and it is a little less authentic.

After the housewarming banquet, everyone went back to their respective homes. Cao Xuan walked around the yard a few times by himself, feeling very lonely.

Well, looking back on a way to buy two dogs.

.........

After taking a shower, Cao Xuan returned to the bedroom, lay on the bed, and thought about the following plan.

Although the Yuanmeng Courtyard is very flattering, it also exhausted his income from "1 Reasons" and owed millions of foreign debts.

The millionaire's addiction has not yet passed, and he has become a millionaire.

However, Cao Xuan's mentality is still stable. After all, today is different from the past. With the foundation of fame, it is not difficult for him to make money now.

At least, these foreign debts on him are nothing.

After September, "9 Reasons" has officially exceeded 1 sales of genuine tapes and CDs, ranking first among newcomers in the music scene this year, and even ranking first in the annual sales ranking of the Chinese music scene.

However, what is even more surprising about "1 Reasons" is the pirated version. It is roughly estimated that it is likely to reach more than 500 million.

You know, it has only been two months since the release of "1 Reasons". If it lasts until the end of the year, 1000 million is hard to say, and 800 million is very hopeful.

Throughout August, "8 Reasons" and "Too Soft" were torn apart on the major music charts. In September, "Too Soft" had the upper hand, but "1 Reasons" still remained a great threat .

At this time, Cao Xuan's commercial show fee has risen from 3 to 5, and in some special cases it has reached 8, all thanks to the high popularity of "1 Reasons".

Cao Xuan had no doubt that if he let go of his hands and feet to take up commercial performances, he could stage a song to change the "myth" of the Beijing Siheyuan.

But still the same sentence, the water in business performance is too deep, and there is no big company to protect, Cao Xuan dare not take the job arbitrarily.

Therefore, Cao Xuan did not place his debt repayment on commercial performances, but planned to strike while the iron was hot and release a new album.

With the experience and fame of this single release, Cao Xuan is very confident in the album's sales.

Maybe not only can we pay off the debt, maybe we can get another set of courtyard houses.

Cao Xuan feels that he may be addicted to hoarding houses, but who can refuse to spend millions on hoarding courtyard houses...
