However, Ma Weitu was not in the capital.
Now, he had gone to Xiangjiang to trade antiques with the Hong Kong businessmen there.
Ma Weitu was also very helpful. He found a friend of his, Xu Wentao, who knew a lot about real estate in Beijing.
There were many such people in the capital. They were commonly known as houseworms who specialized in flipping houses.
He heard that this person had a good reputation.
That afternoon, Chu Junjie met Xu Wentao at a teahouse near Chongwenmen.
This person was in his 30s and looked very ordinary. He had the taste of a Beijing film and was born and raised in Beijing.
When Chu Junjie saw this person, they exchanged pleasantries.
"Young Master Chu, you want to buy a courtyard house?”
Xu Wentao asked.
He addressed Chu Junjie as Little Master Chu as a form of respect.
The capital called people with some status and strength 'grandfather'. This was a recognition of one's strength and identity.
Xu Wentao was older, but he was a houseworm. He was actually earning money from an intermediary, so he was very polite when he spoke.
"If you ask me, this courtyard house isn't very cost-effective…Although there are some that are well-maintained, they are all old houses and the price isn't cheap.”
"A good courtyard house now costs 6000 yuan per square meter. No matter how small a courtyard house is, it's at least 100 square meters, which is 600,000 yuan.”
"With this money, we can buy a good building in Chongwen and Xuanwu. With a little more money, we can even afford an export-oriented house in Hong Kong.”
Xu Wentao couldn't help but persuade Chu Junjie when he heard that he wanted to buy a courtyard house.
Chu Junjie smiled.
Xu Wentao gave him a good feeling, and his words made sense at this time.
China's economy had yet to take off. Even in Beijing, a large number of people still lived in single-story houses.
In this day and age, everyone felt that buildings were more advanced. It was a very impressive thing to be able to move from a bungalow to a building.
The courtyard house was not as valuable as it was later. Everyone thought it was an old thing.
The real western-style building was still the building.
Especially the houses for export.
That land and property were not something that ordinary people could afford.
Xu Wentao advised Chu Junjie with good intentions.
However, Xu Wentao's knowledge was still obscured by the progress of the times.
"Thank you for your kind intentions, but I have my reasons for buying a courtyard house. Just help me find some suitable ones.”Chu Junjie said.
Xu Wentao nodded.
After all, their relationship was still shallow, so there was no need to go into detail.
"Then, Little Master Chu, what kind of courtyard do you want?”
"I know quite a few courtyards."
"I think if you were alone, a hundred square meters would be enough.”
"Such a house can be bought for six to seven hundred thousand yuan. What do you think?”
Xu Wentao asked.
Chu Junjie shook his head and said,"The price is not suitable.”
Xu Wentao felt that he understood and said,""That's true. At your age, even if you're capable, you're already a dragon among men if you have a hundred or so.”
"Asking you to take out 600,000 to 700,000 yuan to buy a house is indeed a little too much.”
"Why don't I help you look for one that's less than 500,000 yuan?”
Chu Junjie shook his head.
"Not suitable? Then I can't find anything cheaper.”When Xu Wentao heard this, he thought that Chu Junjie did not have much money, and his heart did not seem to be so energetic.
"You might have misunderstood."
"When I said that the price is not suitable, I thought…that this house is too cheap and too small.”
"Let's buy it. Not counting the investment in the future, it should at least be more than 400 square meters for our own residence, right?”
"Otherwise, why would we go through all this trouble?”
Chu Junjie said.
This was really what he needed.
Hearing Chu Junjie's words, Xu Wentao's eyes widened.
Xu Wentao looked at Chu Junjie for a long time.
In the end, he understood that Chu Junjie was not joking.
"Alright! I was too narrow-minded to recognize Mount Tai.”
"Why would I call you Little Master Chu? You're Master Chu!"
"Alright, I understand. Master Chu, I'll find the house you want right away.”
Xu Wentao said.
He had regained his motivation and vitality.
……
Xu Wentao contacted a family for Chu Junjie in the afternoon.
The courtyard house was near Chang 'an Street.
They were neighbors of the Forbidden City.
Chu Junjie and Xu Wentao arrived at the courtyard house on Chang 'an Street. They turned a few corners and entered an alley.
This courtyard house was located near the Forbidden City. There were five steps at the entrance and two stone lions.
As they walked, Xu Wentao told Chu Junjie that this courtyard used to be the residence of a Beijing official.
He had been keeping it until now and had maintained it well.
The owner of this courtyard wanted to go abroad.
The owner of the house had migrated to the United States and was short of money, so he sold it at a low price.
Chu Junjie nodded slightly and knocked on the door. He saw a young man in his thirties.
This was the owner of the house.
The owner of the house was quite good-looking, but he had an air of arrogance and a sense of superiority.
Chu Junjie could tell that this person gave off a feeling. He didn't say much and went into the courtyard to take a look.
Sure enough, this was a proper courtyard house. Moreover, the layout inside was very reasonable and completely met his purchase standards.
There are five rooms in the north, three main rooms and two ears, three rooms in the east and three rooms in the west. There are verandas in front of the houses to avoid the wind and rain.
The courtyard walls were connected by the moon gate.
The front yard was deep and shallow. One or two houses were used as gatehouses, and the backyard was used as residential houses. The architecture was exquisite. The floor was paved with square bricks and the steps were made of bluestone.
Chu Junjie nodded in his heart. He liked this place at first glance.
Moreover, he felt that the feng shui was especially good.
He was a little tempted.
He nodded at Xu Wentao.
Xu Wentao understood and immediately went over to ask for the price.
"How much is this courtyard house?"
