Rebirth of the courtyard, the start is 80s

Chapter 143 The Golden House Cangjiao, Just Buy Another Siheyuan
As before, the high-altitude program performances and interactive programs did not last long, and ended after about half an hour.

Afterwards, the plane was very quiet. Everyone read newspapers, chatted and slept, everyone was well anyway.

Of course, during the period, the stewardess also delivered several plane meals, including drinks and so on, which surprised Qinghong.

It's just that Qinghong has an introverted personality after all, she doesn't ask questions and chatter, on the contrary, she is a little shy, afraid to take many things, which is completely different from her best friend Xiaozhen's personality.

On the contrary, Cao Zhiqiang took the initiative to explain to Qinghong very thoughtfully, telling her that these are all free, and you can take whatever you want, and drink as much as you want.

In this way, the plane landed at the Capital Airport easily and safely.

When Cao Zhiqiang got off the plane with Qing Hong, took his luggage and walked out of the airport, a group of solicitors immediately surrounded him.

Originally, Cao Zhiqiang didn't want to pay attention to it, but after thinking about it, he ordered a motor tricycle master and asked him to take him to Xinqiao Hotel.

The reason for going here is very simple, that is, he wants to settle Qinghong here first.

Don't look at Cao Zhiqiang now has a lot of houses, but none of them are suitable for Qinghong to live in.

First of all, the old courtyard house is being renovated, and there are too many people, so it is definitely not suitable for Qinghong to go there.

Jin Xiuying lives in the house by the West Lake in Longtan. With Jin Xiuying's temper, Qinghong might not be able to get along with her.

The house I rented near the Central Academy of Drama was also inappropriate, not to mention the small place, and my two younger sisters were not fuel-efficient lamps, so I guess they would not welcome Qinghong who appeared rashly.

So, I can only let Qinghong live in a hotel first, and then rent it, no, buy a house for Qinghong to live in.

To be honest, in today's Xinqiao Hotel, even though the dining system has been released, ordinary people can also come here to eat Western food, but the guest rooms are not like this, and ordinary people cannot stay here.

The guest rooms of Xinqiao Hotel are generally used to receive foreign guests and leaders. That is to say, if you want to live here, you must issue a letter of introduction. Without a letter of introduction, you cannot stay.

However, that is a common case, and it is actually not that strict.

Even if you don't have a letter of introduction, as long as you give enough money, such as a deposit of 200 yuan, or a few days in advance, you can move in.

What's more, here is to watch people order dishes, and they will not make things difficult for some prestigious people.

For example, the last time, the first time Cao Zhiqiang and Hao Shuwen came to eat, Cao Zhiqiang easily opened a room for Hao Shuwen afterwards, and asked the waiter to help her to the guest room to rest. There was no letter of introduction that time.

At first, Cao Zhiqiang didn't think much about it, but after talking, he found out that the reason why Cao Zhiqiang gave Hao Shuwen so easy last time was because almost everyone there knew Hao Shuwen.

In other words, Hao Shuwen was a frequent visitor of Xinqiao Hotel, and the people there knew her background, so once they saw that it was Hao Shuwen who was staying, the green light was given all the way, and no one asked you for a letter of introduction.

But if you have to try another person, the waiter will definitely change his face and will definitely ask you for a letter of introduction.

Of course, because of the experience of opening a room for Hao Shuwen, since then, the guest room manager of that hotel has known Cao Zhiqiang, at least by face.

So this time, if Cao Zhiqiang wants to open a room, he doesn't need any letter of introduction, he just needs to pay money.

To put it bluntly, in the capital city of this period, there were usually big hotels with the word restaurant, which were not accessible to ordinary people.

However, just because Cao Zhiqiang met Hao Shuwen by chance, and once opened a room for Hao Shuwen, and let people know that he has a relationship with Hao Shuwen, he can pretend to be a tiger, and take advantage of Hao Shuwen's face and of course his own ability to make money. Hong stayed in this "foreign-related hotel" that ordinary people could not stay in!
This is what people in Beijing commonly call "face"!
That's right, as long as you have face and money, you can still easily stay in some places that ordinary people can't live in.

Of course, Qing Hong didn't know the way to go here, she just felt that the hotel was really rich, luxurious, and comfortable, which was far beyond the comparison of the third hostel in Guiyang, let alone the small hostel she stayed in before.

However, along the way, she was surprised a lot, surprised and surprised, and she got used to it.

Cao Zhiqiang was not interested in explaining so much to her, he just opened a room for her and explained some precautions, such as how to use the indoor phone to request room service, how to eat, and how to go out, etc.

Not only that, Cao Zhiqiang also gave her a phone number, which was the phone number of Cao Zhiqiang's unit, that is, the Hongguang Tiandi Magazine Department of Hongguang Machinery Factory, and said that if there was something that couldn't be dealt with, she could call him there.

But basically, as long as Qinghong doesn't leave the hotel, there is generally no problem.

After exhorting and giving Qinghong another 500 yuan, Cao Zhiqiang said goodbye to Qinghong.

After all, it is not a long-term solution for Qinghong to stay in a hotel all the time, she has to buy a suite as soon as possible, and then Jinwu Zangjiao is the way to go.

Considering various factors, especially the distance, Cao Zhiqiang decided to go to Houhai and Xihai to have a look.

During this period, there was no so-called housing agency, and the people who generally assumed the role of housing agency were the neighborhood committees in various places, except for the uncles and aunts walking around the streets.

So if you want to rent a house or buy a house, just go to the local neighborhood committee and ask.

Needless to say, when Cao Zhiqiang came to the neighborhood committee near Shichahai to ask, there were quite a few houses for sale.

After choosing and choosing, Cao Zhiqiang chose a courtyard house located at the east end of Dongming Hutong, along Houhai in the north.

The area of ​​this courtyard house is not large, only more than 800 square meters in total. It is a typical three-way courtyard, but the location is quite good.

As soon as you go out to the north, you can see Houhai across a street. Not far to the east is Houhai Park, and not far to the south is Yangfang Hutong. There are neighborhood committees and police stations nearby. The environment is quite quiet and the safety is guaranteed.

In fact, during this period, the so-called Houhai bar street had not yet started, and the places south of Houhai were quite quiet, not as noisy as later generations.

In addition, in Cao Zhiqiang's memory, the courtyard houses here were not demolished on a large scale, and most of them kept their original shape, and the prices were so high that there was no market for them.

So buying a house here is definitely not a loss.

Under the leadership of Aunt Chen of the local neighborhood committee, Cao Zhiqiang soon visited the house and met the owner directly.

The owner of the home is actually a widow, surnamed Zheng, but she is a bit older, in her 60s.

At present, the old lady lives alone in this house, because the children are not around.

Now the old lady is old and lonely, so she wants to sell the house and go to her children.

This situation is similar to the house that Cao Zhiqiang bought in Longtan West Lake, but I don't know if it is true or not.

Anyway, people who sell houses have to come up with a good excuse. It doesn't matter if the excuse is true or not, as long as the house is good.

As I said earlier, today's capital real estate is a proper buyer's market.

To put it simply, as long as someone is willing to pay real money to buy a house, there are plenty of people who want to sell the house, especially the homeowners of this kind of old courtyard house with outdated facilities.

Because houses are dead money now, and banknotes are really too big in terms of purchasing power today.

For most people, let you choose a house worth 1 yuan and choose 1 yuan. I think 1% of people will choose [-] yuan.

The so-called 1-yuan household nowadays means that you really have 1 yuan, not that you have a house worth [-] yuan.

In terms of real estate value, there are a lot of households with ten thousand yuan in the capital. If this is the case, households with ten thousand yuan will not be so scarce.

But, having said that, Mrs. Zheng’s house belongs to the house along the lake after all. It is to live with a bag, so the price is a little bit more expensive.

In the end, after some bargaining, the entire courtyard house with a construction area of ​​828 square meters, including the house and furniture, was sold at a price of 5000 yuan.

To be honest, the price of 5000 yuan is really a lot expensive in today's real estate market, but it is also much less than the 4 yuan people asked for at the beginning.

As usual, the 828 square meters here is just the actual indoor area, not the so-called shared area, and it does not include the yard area, which are given as gifts.

This is the rule when buying a house at this time. I haven’t heard that the yard is extra money, unless you are a big house with a thousand square meters, with a big garden, that kind of yard is extra money.

What really attracted Cao Zhiqiang, or the reason why the house price was much higher than the market price, was because the courtyard house was sold together with the furniture.

Cao Zhiqiang has seen it all. Although the furniture here is old, the wood is very expensive. Although there is no huanghuali wood, there is actually a coffee table and matching seats made of golden nanmu, and the big bed, wardrobe, and dressing table in the main room Wait, they are all made of small-leaf rosewood.

In other words, the main furniture here is not made of golden nanmu, small-leaf rosewood, and even purple rosewood boxes, all of which are high-quality goods.

It can be said that the furniture here is actually not cheap. The reason why people ask for a high house is because of the cost of these furniture.

Not only furniture, but also some decorations such as porcelain vases, etc., they don't want it either.

As for these porcelain ornaments, it is said that many of them are antiques from the Qing Dynasty. Even if they are not treasures today, they are not ordinary high-end goods.

What?How did Cao Zhiqiang know?
Of course it was introduced by the host himself.

This also shows that the owner of this house is not really ignorant of everything. He doesn't know that the furniture and ornaments in the house are worthless, but he knows the origin of these furniture and porcelain, and knows that these things are very expensive.

Yes, there are expensive ones, but not necessarily valuable ones.

The reason is simple. During this period, not to mention golden silk sandalwood and rosewood, even the rarer huanghuali wood has not yet reached the price boom, and the actual market price is very cheap.

Not to mention those Qing Dynasty porcelains that are not particularly famous, let alone the authenticity, even if you are genuine, it is worthless at all.

The main reason is not that most people don't know the goods, but that these things can't be sold at a high price now, or that no one buys them.

No matter how good you are, there must be a market, or in other words, someone is willing to pay for your product. If no one buys it, no matter how high your price is, it will be useless.

For example, many people have heard of huanghuali wood, but few people can really distinguish it. People who know it or not know it is a good thing.

But for one thing, there are very few connoisseurs who can really distinguish huanghuali wood, there are too few real ones, and too many fake ones, which leads everyone to stay away from huanghuali wood.

Secondly, there are really too few people who can really buy huanghuali wood at a high price nowadays.

To put it bluntly, these high-grade timbers are now a buyer's market just like houses in the capital.

Think about it, in an era when the gap between the rich and the poor is small and the per capita monthly income is only about 40 yuan, people pay more attention to the necessities of life, followed by clothing and household appliances.

As for luxury goods such as huanghuali and golden nanmu, they are all playthings and dross now, and they are not popular at all, and there is no real market.

We have to wait until the common people have money, especially when people from the Xiangjiang River come in to buy more goods, and they want to buy more. There is a market for these things, these precious wood furniture, and those antiques. The stuff, only to re-price high.

But when it comes to that time, it has to be the end of the 80s, anyway, it's not that time yet.

Otherwise, money is everywhere nowadays, it depends on whether you are willing to collect money, and whether you have the vision and ability.

Not to mention anything else, even if Cao Zhiqiang doesn't do anything else now, he just uses the money in his hand to buy huanghuali wood furniture everywhere, and then hoard them, and then he will be able to make a fortune, and the speed of making money is far faster than buying a house.

Because the price of courtyard houses in Beijing is going to rise, it will be in the late 90s, especially after 2000, the price is getting higher and higher, but before that, housing prices in Beijing have long been stagnant.

But various kinds of precious wood furniture are different. At the end of the 80s, the price of this thing rose because a large number of overseas Chinese came in to buy it. After the mid-90s, the price skyrocketed.

In addition, things like monkey tickets and some antique calligraphy and paintings are not impossible to play, but they are meaningless.

Because although the prices of these things are high, the market is actually too small.

And Cao Zhiqiang doesn't like these things, it's okay to buy some occasionally to fill the scene, but it's boring to do this exclusively.

Most importantly, reselling these antique calligraphy and paintings is also risky, after all, the crime of speculation has not disappeared.

Therefore, if you want to sell antique calligraphy and paintings, there is basically no market in China, because most people can't afford them, or can't afford too high a price.

Only when it is sold to foreigners, or Hong Kong businessmen and overseas Chinese, can it be sold at a high price.

But if you sell antique calligraphy and paintings to Hong Kong businessmen and overseas Chinese, this is a crime.

As a good young man with a bright future, Cao Zhiqiang must be sick to engage in these illegal and criminal businesses.

In short, because Cao Zhiqiang was happy, the other party was also very happy.

As soon as Cao Zhiqiang saw the house, he immediately went to the Housing Management Bureau to register.

During the whole process, Aunt Chen from the neighborhood committee followed the whole process, and the smile on her face never stopped.

The reason is very simple, Cao Zhiqiang promised her a long time ago that once the deal is completed, he will give her a "benefit fee".

It is precisely because of this "benefit fee" that Aunt Chen works so hard.

In fact, if it weren't for the help of Aunt Chen from the neighborhood committee, Cao Zhiqiang would not have been able to lower the price to [-] so quickly.

Anyway, after going through a series of cumbersome procedures, another set of courtyard houses was purchased.

And if the history here has not changed significantly, then there is a high probability that the courtyard houses here will not be demolished.

Therefore, from the perspective of value-added, the house on the Shichahai side is far better than the courtyard house along the street that Cao Zhiqiang bought in Jinyu Hutong before.

Wait, the reason for rushing to buy this house is to give Qinghong a foothold.

Then if Qinghong lived in it, and Qinghong became her own woman again, wouldn't she become a golden house when the house appreciates in value?

Don't say it, it really means that.

But speaking of Jinwu Zangjiao, Cao Zhiqiang suddenly remembered a joke from his previous life.

The joke said that in order to please his lover, a big boss specially bought a suite for her to live in, and then after three years, the lover who spent money like water suddenly ran away with him, but the boss laughed instead.

Someone asked the boss, why are you laughing?

The boss said, because the property he bought for his lover still belongs to the boss himself, and the lover just lives there and does not have the property right of the house.

Now that the lover has run away, the house has appreciated in value, and the appreciation value is far greater than the cost of supporting the lover. It means that the boss has played with the lover for nothing for many years and made a lot of money, so the boss is laughing.

Thinking of this, Cao Zhiqiang couldn't help laughing out loud.
