Chapter 120

In fact, Wu Xuemei and Tang Haikuan mentioned this matter when they were chatting casually.

It's just that because we don't have a house and the actual conditions don't allow it, we haven't talked about it seriously and just chat about it casually.

Wu Xuemei thought of this matter again when she saw the money, and she couldn't help but say something.

Tang Haikuan naturally continued, "Isn't it because there is no room to expand? There are people living in the east and west rooms. They have nowhere to go. According to the policy, we can't drive them away."

Chuxia sat aside and thought for a while, and felt that it was time to expand.

Then she said, "How about this? Let's ask around in the alley to see if there's anyone willing to sell their house. As long as they're in the same alley, just a few houses away will do."

Hearing this, Tang Haikuan and Wu Xuemei looked at Chu Xia, then at each other.

After a moment, Tang Haikuan said, "It's possible, but it's probably not easy. Not only does someone have to be willing to sell their house, but the house must also be vacant."

They buy a house to use it.

Now, the houses in the alleys are almost all full. Only a few families can afford to move out. Without other houses to live in, they are naturally unwilling to sell their current houses.

And if the owner is willing to sell but the tenants are unwilling to move out, they cannot buy it.

Chu Xia said: "Ask first. Only by asking will it be possible. If you don't ask, it will definitely be impossible."

If possible, Tang Haikuan and Wu Xuemei would indeed be willing to spend money to buy one.

As far as their business is concerned, spending some money to expand the store can only make more money, and will definitely not lose money.

So Wu Xuemei nodded and said, "Okay, let's ask."

After discussing this with Tang Haikuan and Wu Xuemei, Chuxia went back to wash up and go to bed.

The next morning, she went to work as usual. Tang Haikuan and Wu Xuemei also went to the market to buy vegetables as usual. After coming back, they prepared the food and opened the door.

When the store opens for business, if someone from the alley comes over, Wu Xuemei will ask if anyone wants to sell a house, and spread the news that they want to buy a house so that everyone in the alley will know.

The matter had been going on for a few days, and she had asked a lot of people, so naturally everyone in the alley had heard about it.

The result was just as expected, no one in the alley could spare a house to sell.

When Chuxia came home from get off work one night, she went out with Lin Xiaohan to ask, and the result was the same.

No one wants to sell their house, and no one can spare a house to sell. After all, a house is not a small thing.

Today is Sunday, Chuxia and Lin Xiaohan are not at work, so they go for a walk in the alley again.

Seeing people chatting in the No. 2 courtyard, they planned to go in and ask a few questions. However, before they reached the gate, they heard someone outside the No. 1 courtyard shouting, "Chuxia!"

Chuxia and Lin Xiaohan looked in the direction of the sound and saw that it was the neighbor who opened a restaurant in Yard No. 1.

Chu Xia smiled at the aunt in Courtyard No. 1 and replied, "Auntie, do you want to ask me something?"

The aunt from Courtyard No. 1 waved at her and said, "If you need anything, come over and talk."

So, Chu Xia and Lin Xiaohan did not go to Courtyard No. 2, but went directly to the restaurant in Courtyard No. 1.

The No. 1 Courtyard Restaurant has been open for nearly half a year, but Chuxia has never been there. After all, they are in the same industry as enemies.

When she just graduated years ago, there were still a few customers coming to this restaurant every day. But since the Chinese New Year, business has become even quieter, and there are not even those few customers every day.

There is no customer in the restaurant now.

After Chuxia and Lin Xiaohan entered the house, they sat down at the table at the aunt's signal.

The aunt poured a cup of hot water for each of them and called his uncle over.

The couple came over and sat down opposite Chu Xia and Lin Xiaohan. The aunt smiled and asked again, "We heard that your restaurant business is good and you want to expand the store recently. We have been asking around recently to see who wants to sell their house, right?"

Chu Xia nodded and smiled: "Yes, Auntie."

But since his family also runs a restaurant, I never asked him about it.

After all, if they came to the door and asked, it would be like asking the restaurant to close.

The old man was very direct and suddenly asked: "What do you think of our house?"

As soon as the old man asked this question, Chuxia immediately dared to think about it.

She looked at the old man and asked tentatively, "Are you... not going to open this store anymore?"

The old man said directly: "Do you think our store can continue to operate? At that time, I saw that your business was so good, and my family happened to be able to vacate this house, so I thought about opening a restaurant. But I didn't know that this business was not easy to do. I couldn't hold on for a few months."

This house has been installed, so it would be a loss whether we demolish it or leave it alone.

So when they heard that the Tang family was going to buy a house, they wondered whether they should just sell it to them.

The family has discussed this matter several times and now has reached a decision.

Since the old man said so, Chu Xia asked directly: "So you want to sell the restaurant to our family?"

The old man said, "If you buy someone else's house, it will be a lot of trouble. You have to ask them to vacate the house and spend money on renovations. Everything is ready in our house. If you buy it, wouldn't you get a great bargain?"

Chu Xia smiled and said, "If you are willing to sell it, it will really save our family a lot of trouble."

The old man also smiled and said, "But... we have a condition."

Chu Xia nodded, "What are the conditions? Tell me."

The old man looked at Chuxia and hesitated for a while, then smiled and said, "Your family wants to buy a house to expand the store. We can sell this house to you, but we want you to buy our yard as well. You should be able to afford it. If you buy the whole house, it will be convenient to transfer the ownership, without so much trouble."

Chuxia smiled and nodded, indicating that she understood.

Of course, we know everything about the neighbors’ situations.

His family lives in a building outside, so he was able to vacate this house and renovate it to open a restaurant.

The restaurant is not making any money now, and it just so happens that someone is willing to spend money to buy it, so they think it’s a good idea to sell it.

But by only selling the restaurant, they might think that it was a good deal for the Tang family, and they felt that they had worked hard and finally made a wedding dress for the Tang family.

So they wanted to take advantage of the fact that the Tang family wanted to buy a house to expand their store and pack up his entire yard and sell it all to the Tang family.

Except for the restaurant room, the other three rooms are occupied by tenants.

If you can't evict the tenants, even if you have the property rights, it's of no practical use. What's the difference between collecting a few dollars of rent from the tenants every month and not having a house at all?

If we could sell this as a package and exchange this useless property right for money, wouldn't we make a fortune?

Chuxia was guessing in her heart.

If his family didn't want to get rid of the other three rooms, they might not be so willing to sell the restaurant.

After nodding, Chu Xia responded, "Okay, uncle, I understand what you said. I will go back and discuss it with my parents. Since you have already thought about it, you should have thought about the price of the house. Why don't you tell me the price now?"

Since we want to talk seriously, then of course we have to say it.

The old man cleared his throat and said, "The whole yard, twelve thousand."

Although it was a lot of money, Chuxia didn't show any surprise.

She just nodded again, "Okay, uncle, I understand. I'll go back and discuss it with my parents. When we come to a conclusion, I'll come back to you and aunt and we'll continue the conversation."

Seeing that Chuxia was cheerful, the old man and the old woman smiled and sent her out.

Seeing Chu Xia and Lin Xiaohan walk away, the aunt looked at the uncle and whispered, "Is it okay?"

The old man also whispered: "Whether it is feasible or not, we need to discuss it and see what they say."

Chuxia and Lin Xiaohan returned to Zhengyang Hotel side by side.

Lin Xiaohan naturally heard it, and said to Chu Xia: "The fact that they want to sell the restaurant is secondary. The main thing is to sell the three houses where tenants live. They only charge a few dollars a month in rent, and they can't collect that much money in their lifetime. There are also a lot of troubles between them and the tenants."

Chu Xia looked at Lin Xiaohan and smiled, "Do you think only a fool would buy it?"

Lin Xiaohan stared at Chu Xia for a while, "Seeing how you are smiling now, I think... you must have some conspiracy that I can't guess..."

Chu Xia laughed and bumped him with her arm, "I don't have any conspiracy."

But she knew that with the continuous opening of the market, the rapid development of the real estate industry, and the continuous soaring housing prices, this old courtyard house would become very, very valuable.

When it comes to investing, there is no better option.
