Chapter 427
"Looking for a house?"
Flathead's face instantly darkened. "Fuck, are you kidding me? Why are you looking for me for a house?"
“I don’t have a house to rent.”
Song Jingzhou stood in front of Su Qingci and said, "Talk properly, who the fuck is this? You fucking bastard!"
The flat-headed man looked at the face in front of him that was full of hostility. The face had thick eyebrows, a crew cut, and a high nose bridge. The look in his eyes did not show that he was a kind person.
After all, he had been with his uncle for so many years, so he had some good eyesight. He could tell at a glance that the man in front of him was not an ordinary street thug, but had definitely been stained with blood.
In this line of work, all they have to do is maintain their reputation. Under normal circumstances, he would have thrown his big fists long ago, but when he felt the danger from the other party, and thought that this was his own doorstep and that his uncle and sister-in-law were at home, Flathead calmed down instantly.
Although there is a rule in their industry not to involve family members, who knows if someone will come out and not care about their reputation.
Su Qingci pulled Song Jingzhou's arm and went straight to the point.
"Well, I'm Su Jindong's sister. We met a few years ago. During that fight between you and Su Jindong, your uncle and my grandfather met at the police station. He's my boyfriend. He's just like that. Don't mind him."
Only then did Flathead look at Su Qingci carefully, "So it's you. You were the one who called the police back then, right?"
Su Qingci just smiled and said nothing. "I know you all like to be straightforward, so I'll just say it directly. I need to buy a house. I know you're familiar with the major alleys in Kyoto and have a wide network of contacts, so I want you to help me look for one. Of course, I won't let you work for free. For every house you buy, I'll give you 5% as a reward. That means if the total transaction price of the house is 2,000, I'll give you 100."
When Dachang heard about this good news, he became very excited. It would be so easy to find a house. He knew of two houses. Nowadays, a formal job only paid about 20 or 30 yuan a month. If he could find a house successfully, he could get three or four months' salary of an ordinary person.
He looked at Flathead nervously. This was a much faster way to make money than collecting debts or helping in fights. Seeing that Flathead didn't react, he swallowed and said anxiously, "Flathead Brother."
Most of these street urchins are unemployed. They don't dare to commit serious crimes like murder and arson. They rely on others to do small things for them for their food and pocket money or food. Since He Ba, the uncle of Flathead Brother, had his leg broken by someone a year ago, they have become much more well-behaved and fewer people come to them for help.
None of them had any pocket money for a long time.
Flathead was silent for a moment, then looked directly into Su Qingci's eyes. "Just looking for a house?"
Su Qingci shook her head, "Not only that, but we also have to help us get the house, which means we have to take possession of it."
A look of understanding flashed in the flat-headed man's eyes, and he knew it wouldn't be that easy.
"As far as I know, after the founding of the People's Republic of China, the houses, shops, and property of wealthy families in many areas were confiscated and transformed, making these lands and houses public property and then distributed uniformly by the state."
"But there are still a very small number of houses that were kept in private hands before the birth of the family. After all, if you take away all of someone's property, you still have to leave it to them to live in. You can't just drive them out onto the streets. Later, the state issued a policy to return some of the confiscated properties, so if you want to find it, you can still find it."
Flathead Meat paused. "But all these properties have one thing in common: they're packed with people."
"Whether they were originally arranged to move in by the subdistrict office or returned to the private owners with their rental contracts, it's not easy to get these people to leave."
Dachang nodded quickly. "Yes, yes, Pingtou Ge is right. I know of two families who are having trouble with this. Although the government has returned the houses to them, the tenants living there are like scalping meat."
"Some of them have already expired their leases, but they refuse to move. Some are still paying rent, but it's from many years ago, and the market price is no longer what it used to be. They're just forcing themselves to stay, claiming they've paid the rent. Some even refuse to pay rent, saying the neighborhood office arranged for them to move in, so where can they go now? They keep saying they have nowhere else to go, and the landlord is completely helpless."
"I went to the sub-district office several times to negotiate, but they ignored me and there was nothing I could do about it."
Su Qingci nodded. "I know all about what you're talking about, that's why I came to you. Otherwise, anyone can just go door to door looking for houses. I believe you have more ways to deal with things like taking over houses. And I won't let you work for nothing. I will pay you for your hard work in clearing the market."
When Flathead Meat heard Su Qingci say that clearing the room would cost extra, and Dachang was watching eagerly from the side, he gritted his teeth and said, "Okay, I'll do it. Tell me your conditions, and I'll have the brothers go out and inquire this afternoon."
Su Qingci and Song Jingzhou looked at each other, and smiles flashed in their eyes.
"We want courtyard houses. Single-family homes in alleys and alleys are also acceptable. We're not considering tube-shaped buildings for now. The area can't be too small. We're not looking at homes that need major renovations for now. We don't have the energy for that. Also, if there are any disputes over property rights, you will be responsible for handling them."
After a pause, Su Qingci continued, "You can have someone look around the eight alleys in the old and new city districts. If the price is right and the house is good, you can get eight or ten units."
Su Qingci originally wanted to ask for as much as she could get, but she was afraid of scaring the other person.
Pingtourou's breathing quickened when he heard Su Qingci's loud breath. If they followed what the other party said, they would have to get at least one or two thousand if this matter was accomplished.
That's a lot of money.
Seeing that the other party's eyes were somewhat suspicious, Su Qingci immediately took out her wallet from her bag and counted out ten Great Unity banknotes as a deposit.
"I understand your rules. This is my earnest money. You can ask around first. I'll come back tomorrow afternoon and go with you to look at the house."
"Okay, I'll definitely find out all the things for sale in the alleys of Kyoto. Tomorrow afternoon, you can come to my house directly to find me, or you can give me the address and I will come to you then."
"goodbye."
In the busy market at the intersection of West Street, Song Jingzhou followed Su Qingci and asked, "Are you really going to buy so many houses?"
"There's not enough space for everyone in the family, right?"
Su Qingci rolled her eyes, "Who said I should buy one for everyone in my family? They are all mine, my personal property."
Having said that, Su Qingci turned around and stared at Song Jingzhou warily, "It has nothing to do with you. It's my pre-marital property!"
