1993 My China Entertainment Age

Chapter 50 Settling down in Yanjing, a renovated courtyard house!

On October 10, the women's table tennis singles final of the 13 Hiroshima Asian Games fell into a state of anxiety.

After a few back and forth, Deng Yaping failed to defend Xiaoshan Zhili's attack, and she scored a point.

Every time he hit a good shot, He Zhili uttered a cry of "Yo Xi", which made many Huaguo fans in front of the TV feel disgusted.

In the end, Deng Yaping, the world table tennis women's singles champion, won the first game, then lost three games in a row, and finally lost 1-3, missing the Hiroshima Asian Games table tennis women's singles championship.

After the game, both Deng Yaping and Xiaoshan Zhili cried, one cried and said that they lost the game and did not win the championship for the motherland, and the other cried with joy.

And this Xiaoshan Zhili was not originally from Dongying, but from Huaguo. His original name was He Zhili, and he was a member of Huaguo's national table tennis team.

After the game, He Zhili was called a traitor and a traitor by the Chinese people, and the two never saw each other on the field again.

It is Deng Yaping's biggest regret not to beat He Zhili on the field, because He Zhili and Deng Yaping are not athletes of the same era.

Two people, one born in 1964 and one born in 1973.

In this controversial game, Jiang Xiaofeng didn't watch the performance because he went to other places, so he heard Lao Lang and the others curse when he came back.

On October 10th, the latest issue of "Contemporary Music World" went on sale across the country.

It happened to be Saturday, and Taohong went out to buy breakfast for Jiang Xiaofeng. When she came back, she passed by a newsstand and saw a magazine cover on the shelf who looked a bit like Jiang Xiaofeng, so she stopped immediately.

Tao Hong thought that her eyesight had made a mistake, so she told the newsstand owner, "Boss, take down that magazine and let me have a look."

"Okay!" The boss said, and handed the brand new and unopened "Local Music World" to Taohong.

Tao Hong took it over and took a look. After confirming that Jiang Xiaofeng was right, she asked, "How much is it boss?"

"9 yuan and 8 cents."

"It's so expensive, it's the same price as a record..."

The boss had already seen that Taohong was coming for the cover character Jiang Xiaofeng, so he said to Taohong: "Girl, 9 yuan and 2 cents are really not expensive, and there is a beautiful poster of Jiang Xiaofeng as a gift."

After hearing what the boss said, Taohong didn't hesitate anymore, and willingly took out a 10 yuan bill and handed it to the boss, and bought the "Contemporary Music World" back.

Looking at the handsome photo of himself on the cover of this magazine, Jiang Xiaofeng felt quite fresh, like a dream, a bit unreal.

You know, "Contemporary Music World" is currently the best-selling entertainment magazine in China, with an average sales volume of more than 30 per issue, and sometimes more than that.

Moreover, the singers who can be on the cover of this magazine are almost all well-known singers, and they can't be too old and ugly, and they can't be ugly. Ordinary singers are not qualified to be on the cover.

And Jiang Xiaofeng also became the first male singer in the mainland music scene to be on the cover of "Contemporary Music World". Before that, only mainland female singers like Yang Yuying and Na Ying had been on the cover of this magazine.

Tao Hong, who has passed the age of star chasing, obviously doesn't have much interest in the magazine "Contemporary Music World". She bought this "Contemporary Music World" because Jiang Xiaofeng was on the cover.

After buying "Contemporary Music World", Taohong only browsed the interview content about Jiang Xiaofeng in it.

As for Jiang Xiaofeng's poster, Taohong took it directly back to the dormitory of Zhongxi Opera, and pasted it on the wall next to her bed, and looked at it every night before going to bed, and looked at it every morning, not afraid that her roommates would laugh at her as the squad leader for being "a nympho" ".

Of course, they didn't know that Jiang Xiaofeng was Taohong's real boyfriend, and they didn't know that Taohong and Jiang Xiaofeng had worked together on the movie "Sunny Day", because so far, this movie is still under review, and it has not yet been approved. Not shown in the country.

They all thought that Jiang Xiaofeng was Taohong's favorite singer, and she was just an ordinary and loyal fan of Jiang Xiaofeng, that's all.

One of Taohong's suitors learned that Taohong liked Jiang Xiaofeng, and deliberately played and sang songs such as "I Have You in My Life" for her downstairs in her dormitory, hoping to win her favor.

Tao Hong was also very straightforward, telling the other party directly that she had a boyfriend, but in order not to cause trouble for Jiang Xiaofeng, she did not reveal who her boyfriend was.

On the other hand, the "Contemporary Music World" magazine, which is far away in Harbin, was worried at first that using Jiang Xiaofeng as the cover character might lead to a decline in the magazine's sales.

However, it turns out that their worries are unnecessary. Jiang Xiaofeng's influence among young people in the mainland, especially middle school students, is no less than that of some Hong Kong and Taiwan stars.

The "Contemporary Music World" magazine, with Jiang Xiaofeng as the cover character, did not suffer from a decline in sales because of Jiang Xiaofeng. On the contrary, the sales volume of the magazine with Jiang Xiaofeng as the cover character increased by 5% compared to the previous issue. About [-] copies.

As a result, Jiang Xiaofeng's commercial value was recognized, and he was favored by other entertainment magazines, who came to him for cover shots.

In early November.

Excluding sales of pirated records, Jiang Xiaofeng's first tape record "Jiang Xiaofeng" officially exceeded 60 sales in mainland China.

At the same time, including the royalties from the record "Jiang Xiaofeng" and income from commercial performances, Jiang Xiaofeng's after-tax savings also reached an astonishing 63 yuan.

Although the tax inspection is not strict these days, Jiang Xiaofeng has always been a good citizen who abides by the law and never engages in illegal and criminal activities such as tax evasion.

Moreover, with the lessons learned from Mao Amin, the big sister in the music industry, Jiang Xiaofeng often used her incident to remind himself that no matter how much he earns, he must pay taxes according to law.

After having money, Jiang Xiaofeng also wanted to settle down in Yanjing to buy real estate while the house price in Yanjing was still relatively reasonable.

Although housing prices in Yanjing at this time have not risen as rapidly as they have been more than ten years later, this does not mean that buying a house in Yanjing is an easy task.

Take the Asian Games Village, which is currently the most expensive house price, as an example. In 1994, the house price of the Asian Games Village was about 2000 yuan/㎡, and the per capita annual income of Yanjing was only 4400 yuan. square meters.

It can be seen that no matter what time the house in Yanjing is so precious.

The house at this time is a real "housing to live in, not speculation", with only simple living functions, no luxurious hardcover, no central air-conditioning, no fresh air system, no separation of people and vehicles, no attention to garden planning...

In fact, this is also normal. In the late 80s and early 90s, housing was allocated to welfare units. After the Asian Games held in 90, commercial housing in Yanjing began to enter the market, and they lacked experience in all aspects.

Jiang Xiaofeng didn't really want to buy a house in the Asian Games Village. He felt that there was no investment value, so he went to Yanjing city center to look at the house. After looking around, he was not particularly satisfied. Instead, he was attracted by some courtyard houses in the second ring road.

When Jiang Xiaofeng asked about the price, it was about 20 to 80 yuan, mainly depending on the location and size, as well as the regulations of the courtyard house.

In the past, the price of Yanjing courtyard house was very low, and the transaction volume was also very small. In 1990, the transaction price of a small courtyard house was only 3 to [-] yuan.

At that time, the per capita annual income of ordinary people in Yanjing was only 1400 yuan. According to the income at this time, ordinary people would need to go without food or drink for 30 years to buy a small courtyard house.

However, after Deng Gong’s speech on the Southern Tour, the price of Yanjing courtyard houses ushered in the first sharp increase in 1993. The price standard mainly depends on the distance from the Forbidden City. The closer you are, the higher the price.

The main issue at this time is property rights. If the property rights are clear, the regulations are complete, and it is close to the Forbidden City, it is normal for a courtyard house of about 300 square meters to sell for more than 30 yuan, and it is about 1000 yuan per square meter.

You know, at this time, experimental commercial housing with property rights within the second ring road is only about 1000 yuan per square meter.

However, there are many disadvantages of the courtyard house, especially the courtyard house that has not been renovated. Not only does it not have running water, but it also has no toilet and heating, which is incomparable with the building.

Jiang Xiaofeng was also hesitant at first, whether to buy a commercial house or a courtyard house.

As a result, Jiang Xiaofeng fell in love with a quaint courtyard house covering an area of ​​455 square meters and the price was 50 yuan, or 1100 yuan per square meter.

This is not the point. The point is that the entrance of this courtyard house can be parked, and the inside has been remodeled. Not only is there a toilet, but there are also four trees of medium size, one of which is larger and the other three are smaller.

Jiang Xiaofeng especially likes these four trees. Not only can they enjoy the shade, but they can also let Taohong hold the trees with both hands to do exercises. Maybe the leaves will "squeak" with the movement, and then the leaves will slowly float from the trees Come down, just thinking about it feels particularly poetic.

It is worth mentioning that a small incident happened in 1994. This year, the TV series "Yanjing People in New York" starring Jiang Wen became popular all over the country. This caused a wave of going abroad in the society.

In order to go abroad, many people even sold their property at the expense of selling. Jiang Xiaofeng took a fancy to the owner of this courtyard house, and planned to sell a section of the courtyard house. He decided not to come back, and the whole family went to the United States together.

The owner of this courtyard house is also not short of money. Anyway, the buy-in price is 50 yuan, and the full price must be paid, and no bargaining is accepted.

As the saying goes, money can't buy a good heart. Jiang Xiaofeng went back and thought about it all night, and finally gritted his teeth and bought this courtyard house.

ps. Thanks to the chief rudder of Time 1979 for the reward and support, thank you, and sent a piece of easter egg chapter of the courtyard, you can take a look.
