Chapter 210 He is a prince

"Have a heart."

Xu Qingshan nodded.

Lin Chenhua is efficient and Wang Chuan is quick-witted. With their help in Beijing, Xu Qingshan feels that he will have no pressure in doing anything next.

"This yard also has a basement and a garage. The old man said that the garage can accommodate five or six cars. I have also asked about it. If the main structure of the yard is preserved, it can be renovated and expanded to a two-story house."

Wang Chuan put his hands in front of him and was also looking at the house.

"Grandma, how do you feel?"

Xu Qingshan stood beside his grandmother, bent down slightly and asked.

“It’s good, but too expensive.”

The little old lady reached out and gently touched the zinnias in the flowerbed in the yard, and the flowers bloomed luxuriantly and brightly.

Xu Qingshan looked at the old lady's eyes as she scanned the yard. There was a lot of longing in her eyes, but he pursed his lips tightly and didn't want to speak.

"do you like it?"

Xu Qingshan asked again.

"too expensive."

"Grandma, just tell me whether you like it or not."

"Let's go somewhere farther away."

"Brother Chuan, please ask the old man how much he wants to sell this set for. And by the way, please help me with the renovation. If you need money, let me know."

Xu Qingshan thought about it and decided to do it.

The old lady had rarely behaved like this in her life.

She is a weird person. She likes something in her heart but she won’t think of buying it.

Only Xu Qingshan knew it.

My grandmother has always longed to visit Beijing and go to Jing'anmen to see the portrait of the leader she most respected and believed in.

“Can we afford it?”

The old lady didn't know how much money Xu Qingshan had, so she frowned and asked.

"Maybe. It's okay. If we can't afford it, we can buy it somewhere else."

Xu Qingshan smiled and patted the old man's hand.

"Then you have to ask how much the place can be appreciated if you want to sell it in the future, and whether it is easy to sell."

The little old lady babbled on.

"Good good."

Xu Qingshan agreed repeatedly.

Buying a house is not like other things. Even when the old lady was in Longjiang, she often heard people talk about how much the house someone bought a few years ago has appreciated in price.

So she wasn't that repulsive.

If these tens of millions are to be used to buy consumables, the old man will be heartbroken.

"Hey, are you guys attracted to each other?"

Wang Chuan went to invite the old man over. The old man came over with two walnuts in his hands and greeted him in high spirits.

"It looks good, I want to ask the price."

Xu Qingshan said with a smile.

"That's a good feeling."

The old man came over with walnuts on a plate and started to speak.

"Look at this eaves."

"Feian, Brother Chuan just said that."

Xu Qingshan smiled and the old man was stunned.

"Okay, then look at this corridor. It has a cloisonné ceiling."

"Master, I've said this before."

"Hey!"

The old man put the walnuts in his pocket and glanced silently at Wang Chuan who was grinning at the side.

"Then this brick has never been mentioned, this brick!"

"I've also said that the bricks used to build the walls of the imperial city are from the same batch as those used to build the walls of the palace."

"You know this as well?!"

The old man's mouth shrunk.

You know, he relied on this to talk to others. The guy named Wang Chuan next to him must have remembered everything he said last time he came, making it impossible for him to use his skills.

"Well, this is not unusual, both inside and outside the courtyard. Today, I, an old man, will show you what style is."

The old man raised his chin, tilted his mouth, started rolling the walnuts again, and walked towards the second courtyard.

Xu Qingshan and the others followed behind the old man.

The old man took out an antique bronze key and opened the door of the study room in the yard which had never been opened before.

"I've put this house up for sale, but I've never opened it to the public. This is your first time."

The old man said proudly, pointing at the furniture in the room.

"Look, the furniture in this room is all made of huanghuali wood, the best quality Qiongzhou huanghuali wood, with this pattern and this texture."

The old man opened his hands and showed them in front of Xu Qingshan.

"Five hundred years! Five hundred years of top-quality materials were used to make this study. Look at this cabinet, this antique shelf, this desk, and this couch."

"Come, take a look."

"Old man, today I want to tell you about Huanghuali. Whether Huanghuali is good or not cannot be judged by its color, which can be dark or light. It cannot be judged by its oiliness, which can be repaired later. It cannot be judged by its density, as it is now compacted manually."

"If you want to see it, just look at the lines."

This old man really talks a lot.

Originally Xu Qingshan thought that the old man was explaining the advantages of the house to him and wanted to raise the price for him, but after the old man said he was satisfied, he just looked at Xu Qingshan.

"Young man, you see, my house is so good. It was part of Prince Gong's palace. Gas, floor heating, water and electricity are all well laid out. Not to mention decades, if you buy it and live in it, as long as there are people living in this house, it can last for two or three hundred years." "It's very good."

Xu Qingshan nodded.

“Just the price”

"Young man, I'm very happy to talk to you today. I think you look good and we're compatible. Don't worry."

The old man seemed to have seen through Xu Qingshan's guess, and said happily while crunching walnuts.

"Your uncle has many courtyards in the capital. I also have a house 80 meters from Nanchizi Street in the Dorgon Palace. But that house is a bit big and not suitable for you."

As the old man spoke, he took out a piece of paper from his pocket, looked at it, and said.

"If you can just say whether you want it or not, I will be angry with you."

"This house covers an area of ​​566.66 square meters, residential land, with a basement of about 500 square meters. The procedures for the renovation and extension of the ground floor have also been completed. It was originally intended to be used as a wedding house for my youngest son. If you finish building it, there will be about 1000 square meters of land available on the two floors above ground. The transfer fee has also been paid, and the other formalities can be completed."

"Well, based on the current market price of courtyard houses, I'll charge you 4 per square meter."

The old man held the walnuts on a plate and quoted a price, looking very calm.

Xu Qingshan looked at the real estate quotation sheet that Lin Chenhua had sent him a few days ago on his mobile phone QQ, and combined with the information Wang Chuan had inquired about, he felt that 4 yuan could not be said to be expensive, but it could only be said to be average.

Wang Chuan stood aside, with his back to the old man, and nodded quietly towards Xu Qingshan. He made a chopping gesture with his hand, and Xu Qingshan understood.

The house is priced well, but not rock bottom.

"Uncle, 4 is calculated based on 5 square meters, right?"

"Of course, how can I deceive a young man like you?"

The old man pursed his lips, seeming unhappy about Xu Qingshan's distrust of him.

He shared happily for the whole afternoon.

"Master, don't blame me. We haven't even exchanged names."

"Hey, look at my memory."

The old man slapped his arms in annoyance and said to Xu Qingshan.

"Young man, what's your surname?"

At the beginning, the old man would still say “who are you?”, “I’ve been hanging around for the whole afternoon and I’ve become very familiar with you.” But now he doesn’t even bother to say “who are you?”, and judging from his appearance, he is really casual.

"No need to mention your surname Xu."

"Oh, Yan Wuxu, elegant, my surname is Liu, you can just call me Uncle Liu."

The two of them then started to discuss the price again.

But Xu Qingshan had no intention of making a decision today, and the old man was not willing to lower the price either. The two failed to reach an agreement, so Xu Qingshan took his relieved grandmother and his silent uncle back to the hotel.

But at least the price was asked.

More than 2500 million.

Xu Qingshan really doesn't have that much money now. Even if Maybach doesn't have to pay Cai Wensheng for the time being, Xu Qingshan only has more than 14 million in his hand. The rest has already been invested in Halo Information and Shanchuan Games.

"Mr. Xu, if you are busy, I will go and talk to Mr. Liu next."

Wang Chuan sent Xu Qingshan and others to the hotel. Seeing that Xu Qingshan was still thinking, he volunteered.

He has now successfully changed his job. If he doesn't want to be just a driver, he has to perform more outstandingly.

"Uncle, please send grandma back to her room first. I'll talk to Brother Chuan."

Xu Qingshan gestured.

"it is good."

Lin Chenhua accompanied his mother upstairs first, leaving Wang Chuan and Xu Qingshan in the car.

There were plenty of empty seats in front of the hotel, so they stopped there with their car lights on and chatted, and no one came to disturb them.

"Brother Chuan, do you have any idea?"

"No, but after all, we are all locals. We can ask around and find out the situation. We can then find the right solution and lower the price a bit."

Wang Chuan smiled and said.

"Besides, the economic situation has not been very good in the past two years, and this house is not cheap. In the past six months, there have been fewer foreign businessmen coming to Beijing to buy houses. Banks have tightened lending this year, so this house is not so easy to sell for the time being."

"Brother Chuan, what do you think of the Siheyuan?"

Xu Qingshan nodded and asked again.

He also had the intention of testing himself.

Xu Qingshan also understood Wang Chuan's attitude. He wanted to show off and seek opportunities. Xu Qingshan did not dislike this and even admired it a little.

It's not that easy to set a trap for yourself.

Xu Qingshan has plenty of means to understand and see through things.

But if he really wants Wang Chuan to become his right-hand man in the capital step by step, it is not enough to rely on some cleverness.

Lin Chenhua is his uncle and will carry out his orders unconditionally, so he doesn't need to have a good sense of the overall situation.

But if Wang Chuan was hired, Xu Qingshan would have to hire people based on their abilities.

“It’s a bit of a superficial view.”

Wang Chuan said this with confidence in his eyes.

"China only has one capital city, and the inner ring of the capital city only has this much land. No matter how the outside world changes, there is only so much land."

"No matter how much the market falls outside, it will be hard to cut it in half here."

"And the Siheyuan is also a feature of our capital, it is different."

Wang Chuan did not tell Xu Qingshan any high-sounding economic analysis or situation dissection.

He used the most down-to-earth words to explain the uniqueness and cultural attributes of the Siheyuan.

"If you live in the courtyard, then as the butler, I can at least live in the driver's room with you."

Wang Chuan finally said something very simple.

"That's the imperial city. Who in the capital doesn't want to live there? In the past, the one who could live here had to be a prince."

Xu Qingshan looked at Wang Chuan, who was always reliable, and saw him saying this with shining eyes. For a moment, he didn't know how to comment on it.
