Wang Ke was very upset. "One year after another, isn't this the same as sending it off?"
Wang Juan was shocked. "This price..."
I originally thought that they would sell their house and shops before going to Hong Kong City, but I didn't expect that they actually didn't sell their house and shops.
Ye Yun also felt that there was something wrong here, "Why didn't they sell the shops and houses?"
Wang Juan also nodded continuously, "Yes, I remember that many people donated and sold things before leaving the mainland."
"After all, if you go abroad, you need a lot of money."
"One year's rent." Wang Juan thought for a moment, "I feel like they're just asking people to help look after the house. Do they plan to come back in 20 years?"
Just now Wang Juan asked and learned that the family left in 1960, and came back 20 years later, that is, in 1979 or 1980, and they can take back the house and shop with the agreement.
Oh my God! Wang Juan’s first reaction was, are they born in the same family?
Otherwise, why would they sign a 20-year lease contract directly? "And do they still have money?"
Around 1949, many wealthy people from the mainland moved to Hong Kong. In the three years before that, many people moved to Hong Kong to visit relatives or cross the river. It seems that in those three years, more than 100,000 people moved there.
You have to know that this only happened to the people in the port city. There were also some people who didn't swim to the other side and died in the river. There were really a lot of them.
"There should be. After they took over that place, they bought houses and shops and started doing business there." Hu Dajun said, "You mean, the other party still has valuable things in his hands."
Wang Juan hummed, "If not, how can you have the confidence not to sell the house and shop?"
"Did a master locksmith make so much money before liberation?" Wang Juan knew that master locksmiths made a lot of money. Her great-grandfather was a master locksmith, the kind that opened safes. He supported a family of more than ten people with his salary and could also pay for his children's education.
This guy could be said to be very powerful before liberation. His family had many people but not much property. After liberation, he was defined as a craftsman.
This master chef supports three people, which is not a large number of people, but I heard that he eats and uses a lot of food, and he also hired a nanny at home, so the expenses are not small.
It was a lot of money. At that time, the housing prices in Hong Kong had already soared with the increase of influx of population.
Wang Juan just thought it was strange and didn't think much about it. After all, it was normal for a master chef to be paid a lot of money.
She said it so casually. Ye Yun thought about it for a moment and said, "I remember his wife's family is also an ordinary family."
"They both come from ordinary families." Ye Yun was also puzzled.
"Maybe they had an adventure, or maybe they discovered a treasure." Wang Juan just said it casually and didn't take it too seriously.
"An unexpected encounter, finding a treasure?" Wang Ke and Ye Jiang were very surprised, "Are there any more treasures here?"
"Why not? Maybe they found a cellar in the room and found treasures after entering it."
"Here in Beijing, there are many courtyard houses with independent doors and houses. In the past, they were all occupied by people with a little bit of wealth. Otherwise, they would be large slums."
"For example, this courtyard house belongs to a shopkeeper. It was passed down from their ancestors. Before liberation, they followed their boss south and sold it."
"I heard my dad mention it once. When they were remodeling the house, there was a cellar under our house."
"Although it's not big, it's well ventilated. It must have been built by the previous owner."
