Rebirth of Siheyuan starts in the 1980s

In fact, in his previous life, Cao Zhiqiang once stayed at the Wangfu Hotel and also visited Goldfish Alley.

But at that time, Jinyu Hutong was quite spacious and clean, and looked pretty good.

But at this time, Jinyu Hutong, I don’t know whether it’s just the history or the world. Anyway, I have a vague impression of the street, but the road surface is very poor, and there are all kinds of shabby small shops and small shops on both sides.

Stall.

There are scissors sharpeners, hair cutters, bicycle repairmen, masons, carpenters, etc., etc.

These privately built front houses and small stalls seriously occupy the area on both sides of the street, making the entire Jinyu Hutong look particularly narrow, almost like a poorly managed pedestrian street night market.

Of course, at best, this can be regarded as a very smoky atmosphere, but in fact, because the door and stalls are of a lower grade, dirty and messy, it is completely different from the Wangfujing Department Store.

For those who don’t know, when I first came here, I thought this was a slum area.

But in fact, because there are many small handicraftsmen and small businesses everywhere here, the economic atmosphere is said to be active, so the purchasing power of residents here is very strong, much stronger than that of Nanluogu Lane at this time.

In the end, Cao Zhiqiang did not go further east and returned to the southwest end, which is the intersection of Jinyu Hutong and Wangfujing Street. To the south of the road is Dong'an Market.

To be more precise, his current location is probably the Yintai Department Store at No. 88 Wangfujing in his previous life.

He discovered that this area was still a residential area at this time, completely different from the later Intime Shopping Center.

After walking for a long time, Cao Zhiqiang took a fancy to a house.

To be precise, it is a courtyard house.

This courtyard is a medium-sized courtyard located at a corner.

As soon as you open the door to the south of the house, you will find Jinyu Hutong, and beyond the west wall, you will find Wangfujing Street. The location is quite good.

The best thing is that this place itself is a restaurant for both commercial and residential use, and the signboard is called "Ma's Restaurant."

It is said that this was originally a typical courtyard house with three entrances, but later the owner connected the back-seat house along the street on the south side with the first entrance courtyard, and merged the two parts into a front house, turning it into a restaurant along the street with the door open for business.

, people still live in the back.

Therefore, after such a change, the first courtyard is gone, one less courtyard is lost, and it becomes a second courtyard.

But no matter what, the total area is still a medium-sized courtyard house of 698 square meters, nearly 700 square meters.

The area of ​​698 square meters is not too small.

You must know that at this time, the evil common area had not been introduced from the south. The so-called 698 square meters was a proper apartment area.

Yes, this is only the area inside the apartment, and the three patios and yards are not included in the area!

If we include the three large patios, this will add at least over 300 square meters, which is less than half an acre of land!

In other words, the entire courtyard, including the courtyard, covers an area of ​​over a thousand square meters!

Although there is no east-west courtyard and the area is smaller than the large courtyard where Cao Zhiqiang originally lived, it is still pretty good.

It doesn’t matter, the key is that it’s cheap!

The apartment has a 698-square-meter courtyard along the street, and two more than 300-square-meter courtyards outside. The location is so good, and it only costs 30,000 yuan!

It only costs less than 43 yuan per square meter?

Can you believe this price?

But let’s not talk about it. If it were at this time, this house would indeed be worth this price.

In fact, in this era where a household with 10,000 yuan is considered a wealthy person, banks do not provide housing loans, the average monthly salary per capita is only 40 to 50 yuan, and most people live in welfare housing, not everyone can afford 30,000 yuan at a time.

.

The most important thing is that although commercial housing transactions were liberalized at this time, allowing free buying and selling of real estate, it had not really taken off yet.

In other words, not many people are really willing to buy a house at this time, especially a courtyard house.

Because even if you want to sell your house, not many people can afford to buy it.

And people who can come up with this money are either not interested in these houses, or they can't get in.

It can be said that the real estate industry in Beijing at this time is a typical buyer's market. As long as someone is willing to buy, there will be people rushing to sell houses everywhere.

Cao Zhiqiang mainly thinks that the house price is cheap because he always compares it with future generations. In fact, this is the market price, and outsiders do not think it is cheap.

However, the flow of people here is indeed not small. To the west is Wangfujing Street, to the north is Jixiang Theater, and to the south is Dong'an Market. It is a good place to open a restaurant.

Well, in fact, at the beginning, they never thought about selling the house, and Cao Zhiqiang didn't think about buying a house either.

In fact, when Cao Zhiqiang came here this time, he was just tired at first and wanted to rest here and have a meal.

As a result, since it was not yet dinner time and business was deserted, he started chatting with the restaurant owner.

Talking and talking, we talked about the issues of the restaurant business, then the issues of rent, housing prices, and then the boss’s personal ambitions.

It turned out that Boss Ma was an ambitious young man with great ideas. After the restaurant was re-opened, he started working in the restaurant early in the morning.

After opening a restaurant, he found that it was tiring and hard work, and he didn't earn much, just hard money. So he had already had enough of this business, and he didn't want to be a cook, so he wanted to go to the south and work as a businessman.

, make quick money.

Anyway, after talking for a while, Cao Zhiqiang became interested.

He thought this place was good, so he decided to overturn his original plan, which was to find a house to open a restaurant near where he lived, and opened it here instead.

Because the location here is better and more popular, with Jixiang Theater to the north, Jinyu Hutong and Dong'an Market to the south, and Wangfujing Street to the west, at the intersection of Jinyu Hutong and Wangfujing Street...

This is such a prime location, and the restaurant business is top-notch.

It's strange that this boss Ma occupies such a good location, but the restaurant business is so deserted.

Moreover, he opened the door and drove towards Jinyu Alley, not west towards Wangfujing Street. He was also drunk.

Of course, the reason why the door is opened in Jinyu Alley in the south is because of Feng Shui.

After all, in a serious courtyard house in Peiping, the main door must open to the south or east, and the main door to the west... that is the Gate of the Dead!

Well, it doesn't matter, the most important thing is that the house price is cheap.

The housing prices here are not much different from the housing prices in the courtyard where Cao Zhiqiang lives, but the popularity of the location is much different.

Since we are doing business, we cannot just focus on being close to home. The key is to be popular and make money.

From now on, every inch of land in this place will be very valuable.

If it were the beginning of the 21st century, if this house hadn't been sold for three to five billion, I would have been embarrassed to say hello to anyone.

Another point is that if the restaurant is located some distance from his home, it will be inconvenient for Qin Huairu and others to come and take advantage.

If it opened in front of your home, you could go there in just a few steps. With the character of Qin Huairu's family, they would probably have to go there all day long to eat and get it.

But if we open here, not only the distance is far, but also there are people we don’t know everywhere, Qin Huairu’s family will have to restrain themselves.

Moreover, I will get Silly Zhu here first, and if Lou Xiaoe comes later, I will cooperate with Lou Xiaoe and let Lou Xiaoe come too.

When the time comes, Sha Zhu and Lou Xiao'e will spend all day together in my hotel, and I will be there to play drums.

Hey hey hey, hehe hehe, ho ho ho.

Thinking of this, Cao Zhiqiang felt happy, this was simply a house descended from heaven.

That's why Cao Zhiqiang wanted to buy this apartment.

As a result, when I told the owner about buying a house, he immediately agreed and got what he wanted.

This is simply like falling asleep on the pillow, what a coincidence.

Also, these days, the power of 30,000 cash is not ordinary, it is definitely stronger than the ancestral home of a dead thing.

The other party is very young, only thirty-two years old, which is the right age for restlessness. Moreover, he is tired of being the manager of a restaurant and has long wanted to go south to work, but he has always been short of capital.

If he sells his house and gets it for thirty thousand yuan, he will have the capital to become a real estate agent in the south.

Needless to say, Cao Zhiqiang thinks he is the one taking advantage, but he is quite optimistic about the other party's mind and vision.

Yes, the house is dead and the money is alive, even if the house is in a pretty good location.

But it will take many years to wait for the house to appreciate in value.

But if you become a traitor at this time and go to the south to make money...

If nothing else, just go to the south and buy some fashionable clothes and sell them back, and you can make three or four times the profit once you resell them.

If you are lucky and the other party moves back and forth a few times, your 30,000 yuan can be doubled in less than a year or two.

Isn't this better than guarding a small restaurant, working hard all day, and earning the hard-earned money?

If Cao Zhiqiang didn't have this ambition and had more ways to make a fortune, he would have wanted to be a traitor.

Moreover, his conditions are better, at least his portable space is unmatched by others.

But having said that, no matter what period of time, there are risks in doing business and being a bad guy, and it is not 100% profitable.

The so-called people who go to the sea to do business are mostly people who are drowned in the sea.

Even he, Cao Zhiqiang, as a person who can predict future trends, dare not say that he can definitely make money by being a bankrupt in China at this time, let alone this Ma Jingwen.

After all, speculation is still a crime, and there are bloody mouths everywhere in all departments.

In the previous life, Mou Zhongwei was the best, but what was the result?

And there were a few who could be among them, but most of them drowned in the process of going into the sea.

But this has nothing to do with him, Cao Zhiqiang.

Since this horse brother is so ambitious, he must be supported and praised!

Otherwise, how could I have picked it up? How could he have sold me such a good house?

"This is five thousand! Look at it!"

It was a long night and many dreams, so Cao Zhiqiang took out the brown paper bag that was not yet warm and filled with 5,000 yuan.

When the other party opened the brown paper bag in disbelief, looked at the piles of brand-new banknotes inside, and paused for breath, Cao Zhiqiang said with a smile:

"Brother Ma, this money is just to let you know that I have the ability to buy a house. I am not trying to fool you or tease you.

If you agree, I will bring all the money over tomorrow and formally sign the contract with you to transfer the ownership. What do you think?"

"You, do you really want to buy a house?"

Brother Ma was also shocked. He really didn't expect that he would buy his own house and spend such a large sum of money just for a casual chat.

Even if you just show it to him, it would be very shocking if you don't give it to him now.

This was five thousand yuan. He had never seen so much money put together in his life.

"If you don't really buy it, why are you and I talking here for so long?" Cao Zhiqiang said with a smile.

"Okay, let's make it bright!" Brother Ma gave Cao Zhiqiang a thumbs up, "You are a good person. I, Ma Jingwen, have made you my friend!"

Cao Zhiqiang nodded and said with a smile: "Brother Ma, don't you regret buying your house for 30,000 yuan, with a full set of furniture? There won't be any more problems, right?"

"Of course I won't regret it!" Ma Jingwen said with a smile, "I am the head of the family, the house is mine, of course I have the final say!"

"Okay!" Cao Zhiqiang nodded, "Then the five thousand yuan... I will take it back first."

Under Ma Jingwen's eager gaze, Cao Zhiqiang took back the five thousand yuan.

There is no way, trust between people these days is lacking, so we have to guard against it.

After collecting the money, Cao Zhiqiang said with a smile: "Well, let's meet at the door of the Municipal Housing Authority at nine o'clock tomorrow morning.

When the time comes, you take your house deed and household register, and I’ll bring mine and 30,000 yuan. We’ll pay the money with one hand and the house with the other, how about that?”

"Then I'll be waiting for you!" Ma Jingwen tilted her head and cupped her hands happily, "I'll be there at the door of the Housing Authority tomorrow!"

"A deal?"

“It’s a deal!”

"See you or not?"

“See you or see you!”
