Chapter 65 Deal

The next day, Lei Zi came over and said that the family disagreed after discussing it.

Wang Shi has already prepared for this. The wave of layoffs has not yet arrived, and the big pot rice is still very delicious.

"It's okay. When did you no longer survive there? The door here is open to you at any time." Wang Shi said.

"I love hearing this." Lei Zi felt like a deserter and was very embarrassed that he didn't help Wang Shi at the critical moment.

"Leizi, you have been asking me recently to find out where there are courtyard houses for sale." Wang Shi said after taking a sip of tea.

I just bought this tea, it is just for decoration when receiving customers.

"What's the matter, Shitou, you want to buy a house?" Lei Zi asked, looking at Shitou.

"Well, why don't you buy a house or a car when you get married? It's not necessary for now." If it's just to show off, it's not necessary.

"Master, are you going to marry your wife?" Lin Zhengtang was cleaning outside and came in when he heard Wang Shi's words.

"Sooner or later, I have some money now, and I can put it in the bank. The interest is not as good as buying a house. I can't live in a courtyard. It's too inconvenient." If I get married in the future, I can do anything I want to do in the courtyard during the day.

inconvenient.

"Then I will go back and talk to grandpa and ask him to help ask. My grandpa knows these things best." Lin Zhengtang said.

"Yeah, why didn't I think of that?" Mr. Lin has lived in Beijing for half his life and has been picking up rags for more than ten years. Not to mention someone buying a house in Beijing, he knows even if there is an extra mouse in any alley, he is the most reliable person to contact for this matter.

.

Sure enough, four days later, Mr. Lin came to the store on a tricycle and said that he wanted to sell a courtyard house with two entrances.

"Let's walk." Wang Shi asked Lin Zhengtang to stay and look after the store and followed Mr. Lin on his bicycle.

The location is Caoduo Hutong, west of Beiheyan Street, east of the Forbidden City.

The two of them knocked on the door, and a young man came out and invited them in.

This place is only one Beichizi Street away from the Forbidden City. Looking up, you can see the turrets of the Forbidden City and the raised golden glazed tiles.

On both sides of the gate are a pair of stone drums, and on the lintel are two pairs of households. This used to be the residence of at least a military attaché of third rank or below.

Although the paint on the hanging flower door of the main door is old, it has not peeled off. You can see the exquisite patterns on the paint, which is very beautiful.

Walking in, you will see a white marble shadow wall. Turn left from the shadow city wall. This is the courtyard you enter. To the south is a row of reverse-seat houses. Opposite the reverse-seat houses is the second gate.

After following the owner through the second door, the inside suddenly opened up, and this was the inner courtyard.

There is a large copper tank in the middle of the yard, which used to be a fish tank.

The large vat looks like it has some age, and the protruding area in the middle has been polished away due to too many years.

This is a standard old Beijing courtyard house, with the main hall of the owner on the north and side rooms on the east and west sides.

Several open spaces were opened in the yard, and bamboo shelves were placed on them. They should have been used to grow various beans and the like.

Looking up to the west, you can see the golden glazed tiles on the roof of the Forbidden City and the turret in the distance.

Buzz buzz!

A flock of pigeons flew across the sky.

"This is my father." The young man led the two people into the main hall to the north.

There are some old furniture inside, all made of mahogany and red sandalwood. An ancient painting hangs in the middle of the main hall, and there is a long table in front with some incense burners placed on it.

On both sides of the long case are tall flower tables, with a pair of pastel vases placed on the flower tables on both sides.

The old man, who looked to be in his fifties or sixties, came out after hearing his son's words and sat on the chair to the left of the long desk.

"You two, please take a seat." The other party pointed to the mahogany chairs in the two rows on the left and right and said.

"Come here, you two, let's get straight to the point. We are about to go abroad and I need to sell this house urgently. The price is 25,000 yuan, all at once." He said very simply, "If we can, let's continue chatting.

If that doesn't work, you two should go back."

It's like you are the only one living in a courtyard house in the whole of Beijing. How can you buy a house regardless of the price?

Wang Shi can't let his opponent lead him to the rhythm.

"Twenty-five thousand is too much. I believe no one but me can take out so much at once. If you want to sell it, let's discuss it. Can you make it cheaper?" Wang Shi looked at the other person's face calmly.

said.

"Twenty-four thousand five hundred, we can't go any less." The other party took a sip of tea and said.

"Mr. Lin, let's go and check out the next house." With only five hundred dollars left, Wang Shi was too lazy to grind his teeth here and waste his time.

"Okay, let's take a look at the next house. Anyway, there are quite a few people taking action now." Mr. Lin said and stood up.

The other party did not stop him and watched the two of them walk out. When Wang Shi came out of the fish tank in the courtyard, the young man followed him out and asked, "My friend, how much can you give me?"

Wang Shi stopped and looked at the other person, and thought for a moment, "Ten thousand and fifteen thousand at most."

"Wait a minute." The young man said and walked towards the main hall and came back soon, "No, it's too little."

"Then keep it. Now in this day and age, you can come up with 15,000 people at once. If you search all over the streets, there won't be ten people in the whole city. Do you believe it?" Wang Shi looked at the other person's expression, "I

You know, I'm not the only one to come and take a look. You don't have to look at what year it is now. Households with ten thousand yuan are very few. The monthly salary of an ordinary family is only forty or fifty yuan. Food is not a problem. Who has a savings of ten thousand yuan?

How much money do you have to spend on buying a house?" After Wang Shi finished speaking, he said "Excuse me" and left with Mr. Lin.

This time the other party didn't come out to stop them again, and the two of them walked out of the door.

"This house is really nice, especially the antique furniture inside, but it's just a bit expensive," Mr. Lin said.

"Yeah, but forget it, it's too expensive. Let's look for it again." Although I have money and can get 20,000 yuan, I don't want to be ripped off. Besides, isn't it about shopping around?

This is the first one.

When the two of them came to the gate and were about to ride their bicycles, the old man came out and said, "Young man, if you really want it, how about 17,000 for you?"

"This is my lowest price, it can't be any less," the old man said.

Wang Shi and Mr. Lin looked at each other, "It's not impossible, but I have a request." Wang Shi said.

"Young man, please tell me." The old man sighed.

It has been a month since this house made noise. As these guys said, there are very few people who can afford 20,000 yuan now.

The day of departure is getting closer and closer.

"Seventeen thousand is fine, but you have to leave everything in the house to me. Of course, you can take away your clothes and other daily necessities, but you can leave the furniture and other things inside.

This person is too lazy to buy an empty shell and doesn’t want to buy any more furniture, so he can just move in with his bags.”

"No, no." The old man shook his head like a rattle after hearing Wang Shi's words.

"Then there's nothing we can do." Wang Shi put off his bicycle and prepared to leave.

"Wait a minute, this way, we will only take away the necessities of clothing, and leave everything inside to you. The flat price is 18,000, how about it? It can't be any lower, there are many antiques in there, it's a pity."

"Do you think the so-called antiques in your home are worth a thousand yuan? I went to Liulichang and there were dozens of them all over the floor. I think the things inside are original to the house. They are just pleasing to the eye. Antiques

, not worth much now.”

"gone!"

When the other party saw that Wang Shi was really going to leave, he became cruel and said, "Okay, okay, come back, it's up to you, seventeen thousand is ten thousand."

When Wang Shi heard the other party relent, he looked at Mr. Lin and smiled knowingly.

Today happened to be Sunday. Wang Shi called Lei Zi over and moved into the courtyard. In order to prevent the other party from moving away the valuable things at home, Wang Shi went to the China Construction Bank to hand over the money to the other party, and then went to the regulatory department to complete the transfer procedures.

Paid the tax.

The other party left Beijing the next day and took a plane to the United States.

"This is my home." If you buy a two-bedroom courtyard house for less than 20,000 yuan, will people think you are joking after hearing this more than ten years later?
