Back to 80: My literary life.

Chapter 462 Buying Land and Building Your Own House

Since the Spring Festival in 89 was relatively early, in early February, there was a lot of work at work after New Year's Day.

However, for Fang Minghua, there is another important thing, which is to go and look at the land.

Fang Minghua currently lives in a commercial building, but he is interested in houses with courtyards. After buying a courtyard house in Yanjing, he always wanted to buy one in Xijing City.

The two children are growing up and like to run around outside. If they had a yard like my father-in-law's house, the children could play in the yard, or if they planted some flowers and trees like in the Yanjing courtyard, they could have peace and quiet in the midst of noise. This is how life should be lived.

There are also courtyard houses in Xijing, but they are even more dilapidated. Several families use only one faucet and the toilets are public, which Fang Minghua really dislikes.

What’s more important is that they are all in small alleys which are so narrow that cars cannot pass through at all.

However, some time ago, a developer Zhao Hongjun knew was renovating low-lying shantytowns and dilapidated houses in a place called Nanfang Lane in Chaoyangmen in the east of the city, and requisitioned a large piece of land to build commercial housing.

According to the plan, there is a vacant land of about 400 square meters in the northeast corner that cannot be used for the time being. After Fang Minghua learned this from Zhao Hongjun, he suddenly had an idea:
Why not just buy the land and build a small building like in the countryside? Wouldn’t it be beautiful to have a small yard in front?
This place is not far from New Town Plaza, and it is very convenient to go to my parents' home or my father-in-law's home.

After contacting the developer several times through Zhao Hongjun, the other party basically agreed, so we will discuss the price in detail today.

Fang Minghua received a call from Fang Zhaohongjun in his office: "Minghua, I'm at the door of your unit."

"Okay, I'll be down right away."

Fang Minghua tidied up his messy desk, picked up his briefcase, and hurried downstairs. As soon as he walked out of the door, he saw a brand new black Crown parked diagonally across the street. Zhao Hongjun stuck his head out of the window and waved at him, and he walked over.

This is not the Crown that Zhao Hongjun bought privately, but the eighth-generation Crown that Shengshi Book Company bought not long ago.

The company expanded rapidly, and one Xiali car was definitely not enough, so they bought a Crown and a Santana.

Fang Minghua opened the car door and sat in the passenger seat. The car was as warm as spring.

"Let's go directly to the construction site. Boss Ma is there." Zhao Hongjun said as he slowly started the car.

Walk north along Shangqin Road and you will reach Nanfang Lane in just over ten minutes.

Sitting in the car, Fang Minghua saw that this was originally a low-rise residential area, but now all the houses had been demolished and it had become a huge construction site.

Zhao Hongjun parked the car outside the construction site, and Zhao Hongjun and his team entered the site and asked several workers wearing safety helmets, and finally found the boss whose surname was Ma.

Boss Ma’s name is Ma Shilin. He is not too old, about 40 years old. Upon getting to know him, I found out that he was a section-level cadre in the Municipal Construction Bureau and he went into business two years ago.

After the two men shook hands, Ma Shilin took him to see the land.

Just in the northeast corner of the community, Fang Ming was happy to see that this piece of land was next to Shangai Road, and the built yard could be directly opened on Shangai Road.

Not bad.
Fang Minghua secretly praised him.

There is no problem with the car getting in and out.

"Editor Fang, we are all friends. This piece of land is 482 square meters. I bought it from the Housing Authority for yuan per mu. How about I transfer it to you at the original price?"

Fang Minghua doesn't care about the price. What he cares about is the processing of the real estate certificate and the surrounding supporting facilities.

When Fang Minghua raised this question, Ma Shilin smiled and said, "Don't worry about the property ownership certificate. We will handle it together with all the residents in the community in the future. As for the supporting facilities, who are you going to ask to repair them?"

"No need to ask anyone." Fang Ming said with a smile: "I heard that the construction company that built the houses in this community is also yours? I'll trouble you, Boss Ma, to do it for you."

"That's easier. I'll include the water, electricity, and heating for your building in the overall planning of the entire community. As for the construction costs, I'll give you a discount, too!"

"Yes, as long as the quality is guaranteed."

"Don't worry, we are all friends, how could I harm you?"

Finally, the two agreed that Fang Minghua would purchase the land for 3.03 yuan, and the land would be built by Qinhan Construction Company, a subsidiary of Ma Shilin's own Qinhan Real Estate Company, with a construction fee of 260 yuan per square meter.

The house price has risen again
As for the design of the building, Fang Minghua was ready to do it himself. The two signed the contract in the board house on the construction site. Fang Minghua transferred the 3.03 yuan land fee to the other party's company's account within a week, and the construction fee would be paid after the house was completed.

After finishing his work, Fang Minghua returned to his unit.

In the car, Zhao Hongjun couldn't help but ask, "Minghua, I really can't understand why all the rich people in Xijing City want to live in high-rise buildings, but you want to build your own house! It's so troublesome, you might as well live in a high-rise with me."

It turns out that it was last year that Xijing’s first high-rise residential building was built on Xushimiao Street near Xijing Lianhu Park!

The 16-story building, more than meters high, stood out among the surrounding low-rise buildings. It was equipped with an elevator that could go up and down, attracting many ordinary people to come and see the novelty.

Of course, the price is not cheap. The base price has reached 600 yuan per square meter. The higher the floor, the more valuable it is. It is known as the most expensive in Xijing City.

Zhao Hongjun was so excited by the sight that he immediately felt that the three-bedroom, two-living-room house he was living in on Xingqing Road, which was his new home when he got married, was no longer attractive, so he bought the most expensive apartment on the top floor.

The area of ​​the four-bedroom and two-living room house is 136 square meters, and the cost of the whole house is 9.52 yuan!

Of course, this amount of money is not a problem for him.

The house was already in hand, and they were going to renovate it in the spring of next year. Fang Minghua was dragged by him to see the house. Standing on the balcony, he really felt like he could see all the hills.
Not only can you see the bell tower, but you can also see the Big Wild Goose Pagoda in the distance.

Zhao Hongjun was very proud, but Fang Minghua sneered.

Hearing him say this again, Fang Minghua immediately smiled and replied, "I'm afraid of heights, so it's safest to keep my feet on the ground."

Of course, Zhao Hongjun also sneered at his words.

When he returned home in the evening, Fang Minghua picked up a pencil and began to design his new home on paper with great interest.

Before I traveled through time, I was extremely envious of the rich people living in villas. Now my dream can finally come true!

Abandon the European style and use the new Chinese style!

Of course, I don’t understand architectural design, I just drew a schematic diagram. The real house drawing needs to be made by professionals.

But this also made Fang Minghua very happy.

While he was happy, he also pulled his wife over to share with him.

"I plan to build a three-story building with five rooms, facing north and south." Fang Minghua drew a house crookedly on the blueprint.

"A row of flat-roofed wing rooms will be built on the west side of the yard. The kitchen, storage room, and utility room will all be here. The rooftop can be used as an open-air balcony. The main entrance is on the southeast side of the road, and there are two garages next to it."

Fang Minghua spoke with great interest.

"The first floor is the living room, parents' bedroom, tea room and guest room, etc."

"Our family lives on the second floor. There are three bedrooms and two study rooms. There is a bathroom on each floor. We have a separate bathroom for our bedroom." Fang Minghua said as he drew.

"What about the third floor? Is it empty?" Song Tang asked.

"Have you forgotten? We still have tens of thousands of paintings. I plan to turn the third floor into a private art exhibition hall."

Song Tangtang listened and nodded, then asked again.

“Should we plant trees and flowers in the yard?”

"Of course, it has to be beautiful, just like our courtyard house in Yanjing!"

"Then you might as well ask that girl named Wang Zi to help you plant the flowers. You said she is good at planting flowers."
