Chapter 209 Why not just buy a courtyard house?
"Don't worry, you can drive the car. I'll send you a contract to sign when the time comes. Don't rush to pay me. Wait until you have more money."

Cai Wensheng laughed heartily.

He left his car in Beijing because he had thought about this problem.

In fact, he had been planning to sell this Maybach in Beijing. Anyway, he would probably not live in Beijing for a long time.

But since Xu Qingshan borrowed 100 million from him and returned 200 million not long after, Cai Wensheng suddenly found that there was not much he could do to help this up-and-coming younger brother.

Although Xu Qingshan and Cai Wensheng's relationship is still sweet.

But if something happened later, Cai Wensheng felt that the interaction between the two was not close enough, which led to this incident.

"Brother, this is so embarrassing."

Xu Qingshan said with a smile.

He probably understood what Cai Wensheng meant.

"Don't be polite to me, your brother. You are going to live in Beijing for several years now. Why don't you consider buying a house in Beijing?"

Cai Wensheng changed the subject.

"If you want to buy a house, and if you trust me, then just buy a big one, the closer to the city center the better. Buy whichever one you like. If you don't have enough money, tell me. It won't be too late to give it to me when you earn more."

"Okay, then I'll owe you another favor."

Xu Qingshan understood it tacitly.

Both of them are aiming to establish a stable relationship with each other.

Favors are something that are given and taken between two people. If you don't owe them and don't repay them, how can there be any favors?

The next day.

Xu Qingshan sat in the car and took his grandmother and uncle around the capital.

Wang Chuan congratulated with a smile.

"Congratulations to Mr. Xu on getting his favorite car."

He received a message from Cai Wensheng today. From today on, the car has to be transferred to Xu Qingshan, and his labor contract will also be transferred to Xu Qingshan.

Xu Qingshan waved his hand.

"Brother Chuan, let's talk business. You are a local. My uncle has been looking for a house these days but he is not very satisfied. Do you know of any good houses for sale nearby?"

These days, Lin Chenhua has been looking at houses from various agencies.

But perhaps because Lin Chenhua could tell the man was from another place just by his accent, and he was a little rigid, the agents didn’t show Lin Chenhua any good properties.

Lin Chenhua only remembered the key points that Xu Qingshan said, and after looking around, he found that none of the houses were reliable.

They came out for a walk today with the intention of looking at houses.

However, after talking with Cai Wensheng, Xu Qingshan felt that since he had money in his hands, he might as well buy a house in Beijing.

Considering the outrageous housing prices in Beijing later on, it would be totally worthwhile even if you just bought it and kept it there.

"Mr. Xu, what kind of house do you plan to buy?"

Wang Chuan asked patiently.

"Here in Beijing, there are apartments, houses, and courtyard houses."

"What is the price of a Siheyuan now?"

Xu Qingshan suddenly asked.

"A courtyard house? That depends on the location."

Wang Chuan thought about it and then controlled the steering wheel steadily.

"Houhai, you know that place you went to the day before yesterday, the Yaer Hutong private residence there, was bought by a wealthy businessman from Shanghai last year for 9000 million yuan. The courtyard is also called Nanshufang. The beams in the house are all made of golden nanmu, and the furniture is also made of golden nanmu. Now someone has asked for million yuan, and the owner has no intention of selling it yet. It is estimated that it will soon exceed million yuan."

After Wang Chuan finished speaking, Xu Qingshan was silent for a moment.

"How about we talk about housing?"

"Mr. Xu, not every courtyard house is priced this high. If you really want to buy one, I know a family on Nanchizi Street that wants to sell it. I can take you there to have a look."

"Nanchizi Street?"

Xu Qingshan blinked his eyes. He had never heard of it.

"Yes, Nanchizi Street is right next to Jing'anmen, less than a mile away from the city tower. It is connected to Donghuamen Street in the north and East Chang'an Street in the south. There are many alleys over there, such as Feilong Bridge and Porcelain Warehouse. If you really want to talk about quadrangles, you have to go to the authentic ones over there."

"The geographical location is so good?" Xu Qingshan asked in surprise.

"Is this location available? The price should be high."

"I saw that family last time I passed by. The yard that the waiter entered was about 4 or 5 meters from east to west, and probably more than meters from north to south. The total area is almost one acre. But I think they need to renovate that area, and one square meter should cost about to yuan."

Wang Chuan weighed the number and said.

He didn't know how much money Xu Qingshan had, so he could only report according to what he knew.

"A house of 500 to 600 square meters costs 40,000 to 50,000

Xu Qingshan repeated it.

About 20 to 30 million.

It’s hard to say what this price is.

For Xu Qingshan at this time, it's not that he can't afford it, but it will take up a lot of working capital, which is not good for the subsequent development of his small industries.

"How about going to take a look first?"

Wang Chuan saw Xu Qingshan was hesitating and suggested.

"Okay, let's go take a look first."

Xu Qingshan thought about it.

What if I don’t like what I see when I go there?

It's just looking at houses, not buying them right away. If the old lady really likes them, Xu Qingshan will grit his teeth and take out a loan.

Half an hour later, the car stopped on Nanchizi Street. Xu Qingshan and his group got out of the car. Wang Chuan led the way to a courtyard house that looked a bit dilapidated.

Wang Chuan was efficient and had already contacted the landlord on the way here.

The owner of the house was a bald old man wearing a coat in the middle of summer.

It was said that because his son and daughter-in-law were both immigrating to the United States, this courtyard house was originally intended to be renovated for them to use as a wedding house, but now they were no longer needed, so they simply sold it and let them go to The New Yorker to buy a house in Dabie.

Maybe it’s because the uncles in Beijing love to talk, and they are no less talkative than the uncles in Tianjin.

Fortunately, an old man came and took the landlord away to play chess. He actually gave the key to Wang Chuan and told him to find him at the chess stall by the Changpu River after he had looked at the house.

After the old man left, the room suddenly became much quieter.

Wang Chuan also had the opportunity to speak and show his strengths.

"Mr. Xu, old lady, Mr. Lin."

Wang Chuan didn't mind being tired. Whenever he spoke to someone, he would always use this respectful title.

"Look at the eaves. This yard is a two-story eaves."

"In ancient times, the books described the decisive battle on top of the Forbidden City. The heroes had to fly over eaves and walk on walls. The eaves they walked on were these two layers of eaves."

"If you look closely, you can see that the protruding seal on the eaves has animal patterns, flowers and birds carved on it, and there are two small animals on the eaves over there."

Wang Chuan was wearing a suit and looked a bit like a commentator.

"Under the eaves is the veranda, which is often used for shelter from the rain. In the summer, when you want to cool off and are afraid of being exposed to the sun, you can find a lounge chair and sit under the veranda."

“The roof is hand-painted in color, and the window openings are also hand-carved.”

"Look at the roof and the texture of the beams. Only China has this feeling."

Xu Qingshan and the other two had never heard anyone talk about these details of the Siheyuan.

At this moment, it seems that the capital city has a kind of real sophistication and refinement.

"This house is divided into the east wing and the west wing. There is a second courtyard at the back. The old lady lives there. There is also land in the courtyard where you can grow flowers and vegetables to cultivate your sentiments. There is a pond over there. It would be nice to raise some koi in it."

This was clearly only Wang Chuan's second visit, but when this old man saw each item, he was able to immediately think of its use and introduce it.

"Brother Chuan, have you been here before? Or is the owner of this house your relative?"

After Xu Qingshan took a look, the four of them stood in the yard. The old lady was touching things here and there, Lin Chenhua was observing the safety of the four sides, and Xu Qingshan asked Wang Chuan.

"That's not true."

Wang Chuan touched his head somewhat embarrassedly.

"Isn't this also considered a job change? I wanted to show off my skills, so I came to Beijing a few days ago. When Mr. Lin was looking for a house, I also looked for one privately, and I happened to find this one."
