Chapter 342 The Second House is Obtained
[The content of the chapter that was owed yesterday has been added to the previous chapter, please refresh the page]
The days passed like this, and it was the end of November in a blink of an eye.
On this day, Su Mo came back from school and received a call from Su Yiyuan, asking her to go over on the weekend. He said that he heard about a house for sale and asked her to go and have a look.
On the weekend, Su Mo rode her bike to Su Yiyuan's place and found that there was not only Su Yiyuan in the house, but also a well-dressed young man.
Su Mo subconsciously thought that this was the owner of the house.
"Sorry, I'm late. May I ask where the house is? Let's go over and have a look now."
Xu Qifa was stunned. Is he in such a hurry?
"It's not far, but you may have to wait a while. I'll ask someone to call the person over."
Su Yiyuan smiled, "Little sister, this is not the owner of the house, this is my friend. Don't worry, I'll introduce you to each other."
Xu Qi found that he was really awkward. Su Yiyuan had repeatedly told him today that his little sister would come over and asked him to dress formally.
So, he deliberately wore a white shirt and black trousers, combed his hair back, and wore a pair of new leather shoes that were brushed to a shine. He also changed to a brand new briefcase.
The cadres working in the provincial government were not as respectable as him.
When he came out, several of his younger brothers were so scared that they ran away, thinking that he was going to meet some important person today.
After seeing Su Mo, Xu Qifa's brothers who had been watching from a distance suddenly realized what was going on.
"I'm going to ask my eldest brother to tell me that the handsome boy I saw today turned out to be meeting my sister-in-law."
"What sister-in-law? Brother Yuan's wife?"
"You are really stupid, because we are going to have a sister-in-law."
"Brother Yuan should have introduced me to the girl. Brother Yuan is a college student and a son of a high-ranking official. His introduction is definitely good. Brother, a thousand-year-old bachelor, is about to make a comeback."
"Is it related? Why don't we come undercover and catch us all!"
Brother B slapped Brother A on the head, "Do you think your elder brother is as stupid as you?"
...
Going upstairs, Su Yiyuan introduced to Su Mo, "This is my brother, Xu Qiqi, Brother Fa. He works in the free market here and has many well-informed channels. If you need anything, little sister, you can ask him to handle it."
"Brother Fa, hello, I've heard a lot about you." Su Mo greeted him. It turned out that this was the "second-rate guy" that her uncle mentioned.
That day, Su Tingde went to the family compound and told them that Su Yiyuan was having a hot relationship with a second-rate guy, and asked them to help keep an eye on them.
"Little sister, hello." After Xu Qifa sat down, he wanted to cross his legs as usual, but thinking of how well-dressed he was today, he resisted the urge.
"Ayuan asked my help to inquire about the house, so I left. But there are many people in the Yi family selling their houses, so Nai Nai inquired about one house first. The owner of the house was ill and urgent for money for medical treatment. The houses were not in good condition and were in shabby condition. You can take a look at the house first and if you like it, we can negotiate the price." Xu Qifa heard Su Yiyuan say that Su Mo can speak Cantonese, so he did not speak his plastic Mandarin.
"Okay, thank you, Brother Fa. I just take it as it comes. If I have it, I'll buy it. If I don't have it, forget it." Su Mo said.
Urban housing was only allowed to be bought and sold freely in the 1980s. Housing in cities has always been tight. Most of them are allocated to work units and only have the right to live in them. Therefore, few people have the idea of buying or selling a house.
Only a small number of aborigines or those who have been rehabilitated and do not want to stay here anymore would want to sell their houses. Most of these are done secretly, and no one would be foolish enough to publicize it.
Although Xu Qifa is a free market here, it is impossible for him to ask people one by one. He can only rely on luck, but he has many people under him, so the chance of encountering is a little higher.
"Listen to A Yuan, you said this area might become a business district?"
"I'm just speculating, it's just a high probability. Brother Fa, you who are doing business should also be able to feel the changes in the country's wind direction. I think Guangdong Province is likely to be the first province. And the location in this area is the most suitable. It is close to the train station and not far from the exhibition hall. It is also convenient to go to the pier. The most important thing is that this will be a commercial street in the future and there is a foundation."
Xu Qiqi nodded, "Sister, if you don't buy a shop but only a house, do you think it counts?"
"Housing in Yangcheng is already tight now. If development is allowed here, people from other places will definitely come here. By then, housing will probably be allowed to be bought and sold freely, and housing prices will naturally rise accordingly."
The current housing price is only about ten or twenty-one square meters. After the reform and opening up, it will immediately reach forty or fifty.
She remembered that when the country's first commercial residential community, Donghu New Village, was launched in the mainland in 1982, the starting price was 700 yuan per square meter. Although the housing prices in Donghu New Village are relatively expensive because it is a high-end community that ranks first among N, the average housing price in Guangzhou during the same period has reached about 120 yuan.
In just a few years, the housing prices have doubled several times.
Xu Qifa was thoughtful. Ayuan, this little sister, was indeed well-informed. If he could establish a good relationship with her, it would be of great benefit to him in the future.
The three chatted for a while, and then Xu Qifa's younger brother came downstairs to inform them that the owner of the house had returned and they could go over to see it.
The house was a bungalow with a yard, behind the arcade, close to the commercial street, but it had no paving. There are five rooms in total, plus a toilet, which was built separately next to the yard.
The layout of the house is somewhat similar to the one Su Mo lives in now, but it is much older and the area is estimated to be more than 100 square meters.
The one who came back was the owner's son, a middle-aged man in his thirties who worked in a nearby soap factory. Originally, the family lived here. Although it was a bit old, it was spacious and comfortable.
Unfortunately, his father was sick, and he took over his father's job. Now the factory only covers half of the medical expenses. His father is seriously ill, and the medicines he uses are expensive. The family savings are almost emptied. There is no other way, and now he can only sell the house to treat the disease.
Fortunately, the factory took his family's situation into consideration and arranged a two-bedroom, one-living room apartment for them, otherwise they would have no place to live.
The house was old and only had one floor, and the owner asked for 1,000 yuan. After some bargaining, Xu Qifa finally bought it for 900 yuan.
Su Mo counted out 900 yuan from her bag and gave it to the man, asking him to take the property certificate and go with her to handle the matter.
In just two hours, the owner of the house was already Su Mo on the newly issued property certificate. Lu Changzheng and his parents are now civil servants, so their names are not written to avoid unnecessary trouble.
Xu Qifa asked his men to get a few more locks, and changed the locks of the front door and the inner room, and gave the keys to Su Mo.
It was really easy to get things done with someone, and everything was done in just one morning.
