This courtyard is a two-entry courtyard with its main entrance opening in Jinyu Hutong. The location is quite good.
Brother Liu said: "This courtyard used to have a restaurant, but then, as you know, the restaurant disappeared and it became a place for people to live."
Brother Liu's name is Liu Santong. He is now a worker. He also went to the mountains and countryside in his early years.
As for his parents, they died young and left him this courtyard house. However, I heard from him that he has a wealthy relative in the United States who immigrated there early in his life.
Jiang Yulou asked: "I am quite satisfied with this courtyard house, but Brother Liu, why do you want to sell it?"
"This..." Liu Santong hesitated.
Wei Guoping said from the side: "Brother Liu, don't you still trust the person I introduced?"
"Okay, it's now time, and there's nothing to hide." Liu Santong said, "I just said that I have a relative living abroad, and I want to go there to join him. If I go out, there will be no more courtyard houses in China. If you use it, you might as well sell it for some money.”
"Oh, go abroad." Jiang Yulou nodded.
His tone was calm, but the look in Liu Santong's eyes was very strange.
Siheyuan, you sold it just to go to the United States to work for others?
If this courtyard house were preserved for future generations, it could be sold for at least several hundred million. You may not be able to earn so much if you work in the United States for a lifetime.
It's not that he underestimated Liu Santong, but that he was older and not a technical talent. Everyone in America knew about it.
In this era, 80% to 90% of people who go there work in Chinese restaurants, and their means of making money are very limited.
However, he would not persuade Liu Santong. If Liu Santong did not sell the house, there would be no chance for him.
Anyway, Jiang Yulou was already tempted and wanted to buy it immediately.
He thinks this place is good, with a good location and more popularity. It has the Jixiang Grand Theater, Dong'an Market to the south, and Wangfujing Street to the west. It's a prime location.
Even if it were to be demolished in the future, the demolition fees would be enough to last him a lifetime.
In such a good location, it would be better for Liu Santong to do some business than to sell his courtyard house and go wash dishes in the United States.
Thinking of this, a sense of superiority arises spontaneously.
Of course, maybe others still think he is stupid.
Do you have that much money to buy a ruined courtyard house?
Pure brain is sick.
Liu Santong asked: "Little brother, are you really interested in buying this courtyard house?"
"Of course, if you don't believe me, you should believe Lao Wei." Jiang Yulou laughed.
"However, Brother Liu needs to discuss the area and price carefully."
"Of course." Liu Santong said:
“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-side courtyard, and merged the two parts into a front house, turning it into a restaurant along the street that opens its doors for business. There are still people living 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 more than 600 square meters. "
Jiang Yulou raised his eyebrows and said calmly: "An area of more than 600 square meters is not too small."
In fact, he was extremely happy.
You must know that at this time, the evil public area had not yet spread from the south. The so-called more than 600 square meters was a proper apartment area.
Yes, this is only the area inside the housing unit, the yard is not included in the area inside the unit!
If you include the courtyard, then at least one or two hundred square meters will be added, and the area of the courtyard will be over 800 square meters!
After Liu Santong pondered for a moment, he made a conscientious price: "As for the price, if you sincerely want this house, you can give me 12,000."
"How much did you say?" Jiang Yulou said calmly.
Wei Guoping thought Jiang Yulou disliked the high price, so he said: "Brother Liu, the price of 12,000 is too high. You are about to leave, so you might as well sell it cheaper and sell it earlier."
"Look at your yard, it's too big. How many people have that kind of cash in their hands these days? I'm the only one here. You're lucky to come across it. Let me see, just put a zero on it. My brother definitely wants it.”
Liu Santong said uncertainly: "Erase zero?"
How to wipe out the zero of these 12,000?
"Well, how about ten thousand yuan, just go for it."
Liu Santong was stunned and said: "Ten... ten thousand?"
It turns out that by erasing the zero like this, two thousand was suddenly erased as a fraction.
Wei Guoping kindly reminded: "Brother Liu, aren't you leaving soon? You left, but no one will help you sell your house."
"This... okay." Liu Santong said dejectedly.
That is to say, he is going abroad, and he will come back as soon as he goes, otherwise he will never sell it so cheaply, it is still too urgent.
Liu Santong put forward his own conditions, "Ten thousand is fine, but you have to pay in cash, and it has to be settled in one go. By the way, it will take two days."
"Okay, ten thousand in cash, payable within two days."
Jiang Yulou remained calm on the surface, but felt crazy with joy in her heart.
Wei Guoping, a lifelong brother!
As for the conditions, he doesn't care, the key is that it's so damn cheap!
The apartment has a courtyard of more than 600 square meters along the street, and a courtyard of more than 200 square meters outside. The location is so good, and it only costs more than 10,000 yuan!
It costs less than 20 yuan per square meter together?
Can you believe this price?
But let’s not talk about it yet. If it were at this time, this house would indeed be priced at this price.
Also in the 1980s, Grandma Liu, who came from a later family with children, bought a courtyard house next to the Forbidden City, spending more than 20,000 yuan.
Where is that? It’s the Forbidden City!
The price of a courtyard house in that location was only over 20,000 yuan. You can imagine how low the housing prices in Yanjing were at this time.
The average salary in the 1980s was 40 yuan a month. If you had to support a family, you might save ten yuan a month, which would be about 120 yuan a year. During the Chinese New Year, you might need 30 yuan a year. It takes about a hundred years to save up to 10,000 yuan.
Few people have the luxury to buy a house, and in this era of public housing, there is no need to buy a house.
Besides, the courtyard houses at this time were all crowded and no one was selling them. It is estimated that ten thousand yuan is almost unthinkable for ordinary people.
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 can't find them.
Jiang Yulou always thinks that the house price is cheap because he always compares it with future generations. In fact, this is the market price, and few locals can afford it.
Well, it doesn't matter, the most important thing is that the house price is cheap.
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.
Thinking of this, Jiang Yulou felt happy. This was a huge bargain.
"Brother Liu, let's sign the house purchase contract now."
