People all over the country seem to be busy at the end of the year, but compared to other times, being busy is like being driven by an invisible whip behind you.
The busyness at the end of the year brings a happy smile on my face, and I feel a little relaxed at the end of the year. It is a very happy and practical busyness.
It was almost the end of the year on the streets in the courtyard, and the cold ground was crunchy with ice, so it was dug up again. It was said that some sewer pipes were being rectified.
If there is any street reconstruction in the old Siheyuan District, there are too many departments involved. In addition to the street office, the Cultural Relics Bureau is definitely indispensable.
If human bones or antiques are unearthed accidentally, the police station will definitely be alerted. In addition, there are people living in Sijiu City who are more or less related to relatives and friends who work in the government, and the scabs are very lively.
It costs a lot of money to dig out even the smallest bits and pieces, and many families are looking forward to it in case of demolition.
The courtyard houses in Yanjing are very expensive and cannot be purchased by ordinary people, but the residents of the large courtyard houses are looking forward to demolition.
Because no matter who chooses to squeeze a family into a few rooms in a large courtyard, it is not as comfortable as living in an apartment in a modern building.
Moreover, in addition to the house demolition, compensation is also required. In an instant, the originally ordinary family became completely wealthy.
In the past, when demolition was done, people were afraid that they would have no house to live in. Now, many Yanjing people living in old houses are looking forward to the demolition and replacing them with bigger houses.
But except for the major relocations in the past few years, Yanjing City has actually been expanding outwards. On the contrary, the closer the inner city is to the city center, the more demolitions have become less.
It seems that all the high-rise buildings that should be built here have been built. Except for some small-scale relocations, it is getting further and further away from the expectations of these old Yanjing people to demolish the courtyards and turn them into modern housing.
After all, relocating a small area in the inner city is enough to buy a large area of land in the Fourth Ring Road. The businessmen are interested in profit, and the government also finds it troublesome.
If construction starts here in the inner city, and the basement of the high-ranking official's house is dug out, it is listed as a protected cultural relic, and all development projects under construction will be stopped. It is better to go outside the city to get land.
The streets here in the courtyard are actually quite wide. Compared to other courtyards, there is only a small alley outside, and cars can't pass even if you put anything against the wall.
The surroundings of the big courtyard have been renovated, and basically all the smaller houses have been demolished. People who can afford to live in such a big courtyard are either rich or noble.
After all, there is the National Center for the Performing Arts to the east, and a little beyond that is the Great Hall of the People. Naturally, the people who can live here are not simple.
If you work together to spend some money to rectify this area, not only will the value of the courtyard increase, but you will also be able to double your money back, and your daily life will also be very comfortable.
However, these were all corrected in the past few years. In recent years, the courtyard houses have been listed as protected cultural relics, so it will not be a little trouble to relocate them.
The northern gate on Chang'an Street was dug up, so Yang Dongxu had to drive around Xinhua Street and into the alley. Along the way, he met many tourists holding small flags and holding cameras.
As people's lives improve, naturally more people travel, especially end-of-year tours that have started to come online in the past few years. Compared with the winter in a few years, northerners will go south to visit Maodong, or visit Hainan or Thailand.
Nowadays, the first choice for people with money is to go to Yanjing to see the heart of the motherland, the Forbidden City and the Temple of Heaven Park. After taking a tour of all these, the whole trip will be complete after walking around in the alleys that still have the atmosphere of old Yanjing.
Because the roads and infrastructure in the hutongs in Dong'anfu have been well renovated, and the surrounding hutongs are relatively well preserved. And the people who live here are all wealthy families, so it is naturally covered with some mystery.
Although when you come here to visit, you can't go in and take a look like other large courtyards. After all, the courtyard is the private domain of the residents.
But when I thought of the combination of a rich man and a grand courtyard, and listened to the tour guide's vivid description, that little feeling suddenly came over me.
Walking leisurely on the originally wide road in the alley, cars have to be careful not to hit tourists. The vehicle drove into the courtyard from the side door of the courtyard.
The gate of the courtyard house is very particular, and the steps are very high, so it is impossible to dismantle it to facilitate the entry and exit of cars.
Therefore, when the overall appearance of the courtyard was kept unchanged and some modern facilities were renovated, a side door was left on the courtyard wall. It happens that the side door is next to the alley, and it is very convenient to drive in and out.
"Why are there so many people today?" Yang Dongxu got off the car and glanced outside the door.
"Tell me which crew is filming here." Wu Sheng said.
"Then this crew is quite capable." Yang Dongxu said with a smile.
This is obviously a joke, being able to film and film in this area makes traffic so inconvenient. This crew is not only capable, but also bold.
After all, there were tour guides who knew the rules, and there were not too many solo tourists filming, and it happened to be construction on the northern streets and traffic was inconvenient.
With such a big bet in the courtyard, and a rich man who accidentally offended the legendary tycoon who lives here, it is really unclear whether this drama can be released.
For example, if he loses his temper... "You're not from our company, are you?"
"No, people from the sub-district office came to my house yesterday to inform me that it seems that some An's company's crew was filming a movie about the fall of Peking, and a wealthy businessman came here to shoot the scene or something." Wu Sheng said. .
Yang Dongxu nodded. As long as he is not a member of his own family, he will love whoever he wants!
"I've made a list for you. You can take Xiao Wenchen with you these days. If you have time a few years ago, you can accompany me there." Just after arriving in the backyard, Bai Qian came out with a list. .
To get around each other at the end of the year, you don't just have to carry things to your door. Since you have decided to come to the door in person, you must see the person and sit down and chat for a few words. Otherwise, why do you have to come to the door in person? You can just send gifts and order them. .
Therefore, it is very particular about how to arrange which aristocratic families you want to visit. Zhou Ya used to arrange these things. Zhou Ya didn't come this year and Yang Dongxu was here, so Bai Qian had to do it.
In fact, it was Bai Qian's first contact with many of the people on the list, and Zhou Ya called them and explained them in person.
The few houses in the back that Yang Dongxu accompanied her to were related to Baijia, and the elders on her side who were still walking around now.
The rest of the long list are all Yang Dongxu's connections.
You won’t know if you don’t do it, but you’ll be shocked if you do it. In fact, Bai Qian tried her best to overestimate Yang Dongxu's connections, but she never thought that when compiling the list this time, Zhou Ya explained it carefully.
The big names on this list really frightened Bai Qian. Any one on such a long list would be so famous that some people would not be able to find the door where they want to go.
"Should you ask Baian to go with you when you go to these stores?" Yang Dongxu glanced at the list and asked.
He was undoubtedly referring to several families related to Bai Qian.
Even if Zhou Ya is not in Yanjing, Bai Qian cannot hold Xiao Wenwu and follow Yang Dongxu. Nowadays, it seems that times are more open, but many elders are still very particular about some etiquette.
Therefore, Yang Dongxu can bring Xiao Wenchen to visit, or he can bring Xiao Wenwu with him, but he cannot bring Bai Qian, otherwise bringing a 'concubine' to visit guests will give people a feeling of disrespect.
However, several relationships in the Bai family did not have this concern. It was originally Bai Qian's relationship. Bai Qian came to visit with her children and Yang Dongxu, and the younger brother-in-law came to visit. Although this uncle's identity is a little different, coming to visit him at the end of the year is still a sign of respect. After all, he is from his mother's family, and he can only recognize the one chosen by his younger generation.
"Let's just go together. If Baian wants to go there, he will take Jingrou there." Bai Qian said.
Yang Dongxu nodded, and he understood when Bai Qian said this. Although Bai Qian is a married daughter, she did not visit Baian together. It is probably because these elders have some objections to Baian.
This was not a random guess on his part. The relationships between the families who had had family ties with the Bai family had weakened a lot since Mr. Bai passed away.
After Bai Qian took over Baijia, she had some contacts with these families and maintained a good relationship.
But after Baian took over Baijia, he didn't know whether it was because he wanted to be new or different, or he had stayed in the shadow of his sister for too long. He wanted to get rid of Baiqian's shadow as soon as possible, but his relationship with several of them was really not good.
"By the way, Bai Feng and Wei Fei will be here soon." Bai Qian said.
"What are they here for?" Yang Dongxu was stunned for a moment.
Although the relationship with Bai Feng and Wei Fei is good now, visits to their homes are rare. Usually, we make an appointment to go out for a meal, and then talk about whatever happens at the dinner table.
"Maybe it's a matter of civil aviation and Zhoushan Port." Bai Qian said. She had a close relationship with Bai Feng. Obviously, Bai Feng had revealed some meaning in the previous chat.
"Finance, medical equipment, mobile communications, real estate, civil aviation, ports... This granddaughter-in-law of the Wei family has made a lot of money." Yang Dongxu couldn't help but said with emotion.
Civil aviation obviously refers to the civil aviation cooperation that Wang Gang is discussing with Yu Feihong, and Bai Feng also wants to join.
Yang Dongxu is not opposed to this. After all, the cake of civil aviation is too big for him to eat alone.
However, he was quite surprised that Bai Feng made great efforts to prepare for the expansion of Zhoushan Port.
But I have to say that this woman's business vision is as ruthless as ever. She wanted to get involved in the port industry, and she directly targeted Zhoushan Port, the world's largest port in the future.
You must know that although Zhoushan Port is very large now, it still has many years to go before it can become the world's largest port in future generations. Nowadays, Dalian Port, Shanghai Port and Shenzhen Port are all famous in China.
As a result, Bai Feng hit the bull's-eye directly and set his sights on Zhoushan Port in Ningbo. This unique selection vision... tsk tsk tsk!
