Rebirth of the Auto Giant

Chapter 138 The Gate of the Mansion

Four days later at noon.

After running for four days, all the procedures were finally completed. There was no lottery at this time. Wang Shi spent money to buy an awesome car number, the license plate of Beijing A66666.

Fortunately, the alleys in Beijing were relatively wide at this time, but the gate was too small and could not be opened into the courtyard, so it could only be placed in the alley outside.

"People shouldn't scratch the car at this time." Wang Shi turned off the engine, locked the car, and stood looking at his beloved son and thought to himself.

"Shitou, have you bought a new car?" The second uncle opposite was sitting in the alley basking in the sun, lying on a rocking chair with a thin blanket spread over him.

"Yes, second uncle, where are you sunbathing?" Wang Shi asked.

Second uncle, I heard that my ancestors were high-ranking officials of the third rank during the Qing Dynasty, but now they are in decline. The second uncle has two sons and one daughter.

As long as the weather is nice, you can always see him lying on a rocking chair in the alley, basking in the sun, covered with a thin blanket, always holding a grasshopper cage in his hand, the grasshopper chirping,

Like a lullaby, the second uncle likes to fall asleep listening to the squeaking of the grasshopper.

Sometimes when children in the alley pass by after school, some naughty children will secretly take the grasshopper cage away from their hands, and then watch the second uncle wake up and throw the cage into his arms, and then scold him.

He ran back to love like he was running away.

"Yes, no, after running around for a few days, I finally completed all the procedures today."

"Is this car expensive?"

"It's not expensive, 100,000 yuan." Wang Shi said.

"You are showing off in front of your second uncle, right? If you say 100,000 yuan is not expensive, how much is expensive in your mind?"

"At least a private jet."

"Haha, today's young people, I dare to think that your second uncle has never flown on a plane, and you think about it privately." The second uncle said with a smile and envy.

"That's right, if a person doesn't have dreams, what's the difference between him and a salted fish?" Wang Shi replied to a classic quote from a celebrity.

"Salted fish, haha, your second uncle is just a salted fish now." The other party sighed, "A salted fish waiting to be dried." After saying that, he squinted his eyes and started to listen to the squeaking sound of the grasshopper.

"Spring Sleep".

How could the old man fall asleep so easily? He just squinted his eyes and pretended to sleep.

Wang Shi knew that the other party was not asleep, so he asked: "The sound of this one doesn't seem to be the same one as before. Where did the grasshopper go this time?" Wang Shi watched the other party play with a layer of black pulp in his hand.

The Grasshopper Cage found that the sound of today's one seemed different from the one yesterday.

"Oh, Shitou, you have some skills, you can hear it all." The old man didn't expect that Wang Shi, a big boss, would know how to deal with old toys like Grasshopper, squinting his eyes as if talking in his sleep.

"You know a little bit, you know that I also like old things, and I am particularly interested in these old gadgets. You can tell it right away," Wang Shi said.

As the two chatted, Wang Shi asked: "Second uncle, you are an old man from Beijing. You grew up here and know this place best. I want to ask you something."

"Tell me, I'm very curious about what you, the big boss, want from me, this old man."

"As you know, my current home is too small, and the gate is too small for a car to drive in. I want to buy a larger courtyard house. I wonder if you know anyone, Second Uncle."

“The more classic a courtyard, the better.”

Wang Shi added.

"You still want to buy a new house? It won't be for living outside your home, right?"

"What kind of outhouse?"

"As a concubine, no, not even a concubine."

The second uncle answered.

Oh, isn't it just the mistress?

"Second uncle, where are you thinking, am I that kind of person?" Wang Shi did not expect that he was such a person in the eyes of the other party.

"I'm not sure. People nowadays, what can't they do if they have money?" After the other party finished speaking, he asked: "How big do you want to buy and how big is the yard?"

"Of course, the bigger the better, and it should be well preserved and maintain its original appearance," Wang Shi said.

"When do you want it?"

Does the other party have the goods now? It can't be such a coincidence, right? Thinking of this, Wang Shi blurted out, "Of course, the sooner the better." Wang Shi replied.

After hearing Wang Shi's words, the old man stood up, walked towards the Mercedes-Benz, looked at Wang Shi, and asked, "Are you going?"

"Oh...okay, okay."

Wang Shi followed the other party's instructions and arrived in front of a large door painted with red paint more than ten minutes later.

On both sides of the gate are stone box-shaped lion gate piers. The vermilion paint on the two gates is peeling due to poor maintenance over time, and the thick door cymbals are polished to a shiny finish.

Wang Shi looked at the high steps and thought to himself: How can this car be driven in?

"This used to be the residence of a third-grade official. Let's go in and have a look. This buddy of mine mentioned it to me some time ago." After speaking, the second uncle opened the door and walked in.

"Old man!" The second uncle walked in, but there was no one inside.

Wang Shi is very satisfied with the white screen wall and the exquisitely carved ornate hanging flower gate. The courtyard walls are connected by a moon gate.

The front yard has a clear entrance, and you pass through the hanging flower door and arrive at the courtyard.

"This is a large quadrangle, also called Dazhaimen, with 5 south and 5 north sections, and there are cross-courtyards on the east and west sides..." the second uncle introduced as he walked.

"Excuse me, you are old." Wang Shi watched and observed.

"This is the best-preserved one. The others are either too small or seriously damaged and will need to be overhauled. How is that different from the current reinforced concrete buildings?" the second uncle said with disgust.

Hearing no reply, the two continued walking in and saw an old man leaning on a rocking chair and basking in the sun in the courtyard.

"The body is being exposed, why didn't you say anything?" the second uncle came over and said.

"Squeak, that's a squirrel." The old man said. He opened his eyes and saw a stranger. He roughly knew his purpose and introduced Wang Shi politely.

The old man's surname was Yang, and this was his ancestral home. His three children were not in Beijing, and none of them had any plans to come back. He was lonely in Beijing alone, so he discussed with his children to buy this place and spend time with them.

Wang Shi expressed his intention to come.

"The fixed price is 100,000, no counter-offer. If you agree, we will continue the negotiation and pay it all in one go." The old man said.

100,000 yuan is indeed a huge amount of money for ordinary people. Nowadays, an ordinary small courtyard house only costs 10,000 to 20,000 yuan.

The second uncle knew what the other party's last words meant. He was just afraid that Wang Shi would have no money.

"Old man, do you know who he is? He is Wang Shi, the director of Qianfeng Machinery Factory. He is the real big boss. Not to mention 100,000, people can even buy the Forbidden City. They just bought a car for 10 yuan.

."

"If we hadn't been friends for a long time, I would have brought people all the way here to help you sell your house?"

The name of Qianfeng Machinery Factory was really too big. When the old man heard that Wang Shi was the contractor of Qianfeng Machinery Factory, he was a real big boss.

It seems likely that the house will actually be sold today.

"Let me see, how is it?" Wang Shi asked the old man.

"Whatever you want." After the old man said it, he picked up the tea beside him and drank it with the second uncle.

This is a quadrangle with four entrances. There are cross-courtyards on the east and west sides, where some flowers, plants, vegetables and fruits are planted. The courtyards and rooms are connected by hand-curved verandas.

There is a large water tank in the corner of each courtyard, among which there are large copper tanks in the four corners of the courtyard.

This water tank was used for firefighting in ancient times.

Wang Shi checked the buildings in each courtyard, and the formations inside were all old objects.

Wang Shi looked around and to be honest, Wang Shi was very satisfied with this place.

First of all, this place is only one alley away from Shichahai. When my parents move in in the future, they can take a walk to Shichahai.

Some doors and windows are broken, but with the current level of carpenters, it is not difficult to restore them to their original appearance.

In the end, Wang Shi bought the courtyard house for 102,000 yuan, including everything in it.

This was exactly what the other party wanted. He had no intention of taking these things with him, but now Wang Shi was playing into his hands by spending 2,000 yuan.

Wang Shi remitted the money to the post office designated by the old man that day and left Beijing the next day.

At the last minute, the second uncle went to the station to say goodbye.
