The next morning, Lu Fengjun and Liu Jie had a clear goal. They got up and went to Yabao Road. The "street" market on Yabao Road was still very lively. Lu Fengjun bought a bowl of Zhajiang noodles by the roadside and chatted with the stall owner while eating.
"Brother, isn't this street quite lively?”
The stall owner was an old man from Beijing. He had been running a stall on Yabao Road for five or six years. He could tell at a glance that he was here to inquire about something.”
When Lu Fengjun heard this, he felt that the boss was really not polite. He laughed awkwardly.
"It's okay. There are many people coming and going in Beijing. I see it many times every day. Ask whatever you want.”
When Lu Fengjun heard this, everyone understood what was going on. Since he had met an old Beijing man, he didn't have to hide it anymore, so he asked openly,"Old brother, how are the transactions on this road? Did you rent or buy the stall?"
"Buy? From whom? It's all state-owned. You have to pay the country."
"Oh, oh, it's like this. Our family also does a small business. My daughter said that she wanted to come to the capital to study, so she had to first have a house to live in and then a business to make a living.”
"You're right to be here. Business is good. The goods are snatched before they land. The stalls in these street markets are all valuable.”
"Yeah, I have to buy a house. Where can I find a good school? Brother, can you tell me?"
The stall owner touched his chin and glanced at Lu Fengjun. Well, he looked like an honest man." How much can you take out?" The Shijia Alley Primary School in Chaoyangmen North Street was an old school built in three years. It was only a short walk from the Forbidden City. There were many bungalows in that area. If you wanted to buy one, you had to hurry up. You could settle down now.”
"It's our first time back in Beijing, so we don't know anything. Why don't you tell us?”Lu Fengjun could tell that Old Jing liked to talk, so he would listen to him.
"Breakfast has already been ordered. Since I'm free, I'll tell you about it. The old capital is particular about the rich in the east, the noble in the west, the poor in the south, and the poor in the north. Where is the east and where is the west? Listen to me slowly. Dongdan, Xidan, Dongsi, Xisi, Xuanwu and Chongwen. In 1958, Dongdan and Dongsi merged into Dongcheng Area, Xidan and Xisi merged into Xicheng District.”The stall owner took a sip of the tea he brought and continued,"There are four districts and several suburbs. You can't go there even if I tell you. You won't know how to divide them in the future. These four districts are enough for you to ponder over. There are primary schools and middle schools.”
"Aiyo, thank you. I'll go shopping. I'll talk to you again when I have time.”Lu Fengjun also learned the Beijing dialect.
"Okay, see you later. I'll continue selling my Zhajiang noodles!”
Lu Fengjun met up with Liu Jie and called his daughter when he returned to the hotel.""Lumi, I met an old man in Beijing and told him about the districts in Beijing…"
Lu Fengjun told his daughter exactly what the owner of the noodles had said.
Lumi was confused after hearing this. She didn't know much about Beijing. She only knew that some big stars in her previous life had bought houses when they were rich. Later on, the old Beijing people had also made a fortune by moving.
Lumi recalled the childhood friend of her best friend Bozi's husband in her previous life. When she was rich, she bought three houses at Guomao for 7,000 yuan per square meter. Later, the price increased tenfold.
There was also a friend who had fought together in Russia. He returned to China in 2013 and started a luggage business at Ritan International on Yabao Road. The rent of the house in the workers 'stadium was 100,000 yuan a year. They should be in the Second Ring Road, right?
Oh right, Wang Dandan, a junior high school classmate, moved to Beijing with her family in 2010. She had spare money at that time and bought five or six houses, but it was said that they were not in good locations. They should all be outside the Fifth Ring Road. There were houses in Haidian and Mentougou. The farthest she bought was Hebei. Later, business was not good, so only two were left. However, Wang Dandan told Lumi that she made more than one million yuan from every house she sold. She relied on selling houses to survive and established her roots in Beijing.
Lumi thought carefully again and said to Lu Fengjun,"Dad, since you and Mom are in Beijing, why don't you take a walk around? If you're tired, take a taxi and chat with people more. Anyway, the money is in your hands and no one can take it away. "I think the districts you mentioned are all worth investing in. Look around the workers 'stadium and the international trade center. It's best to have a well-organized bungalow. In the future, we can definitely move. Pick a place close to the school. If we can really get a household register, it'll be great to let Xiaolong study in Beijing. In any case, you can buy them with your family's money. As long as there are suitable ones, you can buy as many as you can.”
"Oh my God, you're really ambitious. Are you buying cabbages?”
Lumi thought to himself,"You don't know. The current housing prices are the same as the price of cabbages in the future!"
Lu Fengjun put down the phone, discussed with Liu Jie, and went out again. The two of them strolled to Nanluoguxiang. Seeing that there were rickshaws available, they rented one each and chatted as they strolled around Sijiu City.
The two of them strolled to the entrance of the alley. When they saw an old Jing man carrying a small stool and sitting at the door to bask in the sun, they stopped to chat with him. Using such a stupid method, Lu Fengjun really caught one of the righteous.
On this day, Old Master Liu was also sunbathing at the door. Lu Fengjun also imitated him and brought a water bottle over." Grandpa, how are you? My daughter is here to study. Do you know where to buy a house nearby?”
"Buy a yard? You're asking. Come with me.”
The old man led Lu Fengjun and Liu Jie past an alley and came to the door of a single courtyard. There was an inconspicuous small wooden sign hanging on the wall, and on it was written with a brush: Selling a house.
"Old Man Wang, is Old Man Wang at home? Someone is looking at the house!"
An old man in his sixties came out of the courtyard. He was wearing a khaki tunic suit and black cotton shoes." Your voice is like a bell!" Who wants to buy a house?"
"These two have inquired about my whereabouts.”She turned around and said to Lu Fengjun," You guys watch. I've brought the place. See you later!"”
Lu Fengjun quickly thanked him. Under Grandfather Wang's lead, they entered the courtyard.
Entering the middle of the courtyard, Lu Fengjun took a look. It was a different world inside. There was a big tree as thick as a small well. It was probably a hundred years old. Beside the tree was a stone table, three stools, four rows of neatly arranged houses in four directions, and carved wooden doors painted with red paint. On the other side of the tree was an ancient well. Just by the edge of the well, one could tell that it was old. It really had a small mouth and a big belly.
"My courtyard house is the cleanest courtyard house on the entire Fourth East Street. You can ask around and find out that there is only one house with such a large courtyard house like mine.”
"Yes, you live in a clean place, but why did you…"
The old master interrupted Lu Fengjun's question." You want to ask me why I want to sell such a good house, right? "My wife passed away early. I only have one son. He went to the United States after graduating from university. He's getting old, and my son is worried. He asked me to go. He's been taking care of it for a few years. He can't bear to part with my courtyard.”
Lu Fengjun and Liu Jie looked at each other. Liu Jie asked,""But how much are you offering? "To be honest, we didn't plan to buy such a big courtyard, but it might be fate that we were able to come to your place. Tell us the price, and we might have to find some money.”
"This courtyard of mine has an area of 260 square meters. The courtyard is close to 200 square meters. I'll sell it for 500,000.”
Hearing the price, Lu Fengjun and Liu Jie's hearts skipped a beat. Oh my god, 500,000! However, this house was indeed pleasant. After pondering for a while, she said to the old man,"Can you make the decision yourself? Do you need to discuss it with the child? In addition, can you make some concessions on the price?”
"To be honest with you, if it was cheaper, I would have sold it a long time ago. I'm going to the United States, so I'll leave some old things at home for you. If you can use the tables, chairs, stools, and carved beds, then use them. If you don't need them, I'll give them to others. The price will definitely be the lowest.”
At this point, if he didn't leave a deposit, it meant that he was going to send the guest off. Lu Fengjun quickly said,"Alright, Old Master. Rest first. We'll come back tomorrow.”
After bidding farewell to Old Master Wang and returning to the hotel, Lu Fengjun called Lumi immediately."Hello, my daughter!"
"Dad, you're back? Did you get anything?"
" Aiyo, your mother and I really met one. Didn't you say that we were going to buy a bungalow? We just walked along the alley. It's a courtyard house, square and clean. The house is 260 square meters, and the courtyard is less than 200 square meters. It's really expensive. The old man asked for 500,000 yuan, and he won't bargain.”
Siheyuan? More than 400 square meters? Five hundred thousand? Oh my god! Lumi felt his heart beating so fast that it was about to jump out of his throat." Dad, Dad, where is it? The owner didn't say why he wanted to sell it?”
"Aiya, I can't tell you the exact location. I said it was Dongsi. Yes, Dongcheng Area. Your mother and I didn't go too far from Nanluogu Alley before we went around there. Then, Old Master, his wife died early. His only son is in the United States and won't come back. He wants Old Master to retire there!”
"Dad, listen to me. We have to buy it. We have to withdraw the cash tomorrow morning and transfer the ownership. We have to do it clearly. Don't be sloppy. It's all written clearly on the contract. After all, the old man has a son.”Lumi urged his father anxiously.
"Really? After buying this house, he didn't have much money left.”
Lu Fengjun did not know the value of this courtyard house. At present, 500,000 yuan was indeed a large amount, but in more than ten years, it might be worth hundreds of millions, or more than ten times. The courtyard house was scarce and could not be bought even with money, let alone a house that Lu Fengjun had given such a high evaluation.
Lumi asked her father to buy a bungalow because there was no good residential area at the moment. Beijing's real estate development was at least 2,000 years later, and buying a bungalow was also to prepare for relocation. However, Lumi did not dare to ask for a courtyard house. He did not even dare to think about it. In the end, his father accidentally bumped into it. Rumi couldn't tell his father this, but the house was definitely going to be bought.
"Dad, listen to me. Buy it. You won't regret it!”
"I still want to buy a building. Isn't our family living in a bungalow now?”
Lumi understood her father's thoughts. It wasn't easy for him to buy a house in the capital, but he ended up buying a bungalow.
But this house was not that house!
Lu Fengjun sighed. He still decided to listen to his daughter. Lumi had done so much for the family and was always right. This time, he would listen to his daughter.
Lu Fengjun never thought that his reluctance at that time would bring so much wealth and value to the future. This was a story for the future.
