Chapter 282 Siheyuan Buying with Eyes Closed
282 Siheyuan Buy with eyes closed
This year is already 1986.
But in 1986, the courtyard houses in the capital were not expensive, even cheaper than Shen Yiyi had imagined.
The housing management office staff member who showed them the yard said, "This one is a little off the beaten track, and they're in a hurry to sell it, so it's a lot cheaper. I've taken a look at it, and I think it's pretty good, so you two can take a look too."
It was Shen Yiyi who was driving and following the directions.
We soon arrived at the yard. It’s not that the location is remote, as it is on the side of the main road. However, compared with the main areas, it is a little far away.
The staff of the Housing Management Office took them downstairs to see the yard.
The yard is very ordinary. If you want to move in after buying it, you need to renovate the whole house.
But relatively speaking, the price they ask for is not high. For example, this yard is priced at 5,800 yuan.
Although it is not expensive, most people would not want such a yard. But for an investor like Shen Yiyi, how could she not want such a house?
But she was not a sucker and would not just accept whatever price was asked. She made an appointment with the landlord to come out and bargained for a price. In the end, she got the house for 200 yuan cheaper and agreed to go to the Housing Management Office tomorrow to change the land deed and the owner's information.
But Shen Yiyi was not only looking at this courtyard, but also other courtyards.
After negotiating another set of questions, we changed places and went to buy it elsewhere.
They are all independent courtyards. As for those with two or three courtyards, they are hard to come by because the people who live in such places are either rich or noble, and generally speaking, they are rarely willing to sell them.
Of course, it’s not to say that there are no such cases, but at the moment, I haven’t encountered any.
After buying houses with the staff from the Housing Management Office, Shen Yiyi has a pretty good understanding of the housing prices in the capital.
Because a house that is a little further away and in a more isolated location can be bought for five or six thousand yuan.
For example, the first courtyard.
As for the courtyards with better locations, they would cost tens of thousands. For example, her fifth courtyard was in a very good location.
Tens of thousands of dollars may seem expensive to others, but it is not expensive to Shen Yiyi.
The two yards worth tens of thousands are both near Peking University and Huazhong University of Science and Technology. How could she not want such yards? She would buy them even if it cost tens of thousands!
It can be said that when it comes to buying a house, Shen Yiyi really started shopping just like she was shopping in a mall!
Chu Bing accompanied her along the way and also gave her some suggestions.
But seeing how Shen Yiyi bought things, she, who originally didn't want to buy, became tempted.
Shen Yiyi: "It's better to act than to be moved. Come and buy with me!"
Chu Bing: "Do you really want to buy it?"
"Buy!" Shen Yiyi supported the purchase. She didn't dare to talk about other purchases, but if she wanted to buy a courtyard house in the capital at this time, she would just buy it with her eyes closed.
There is no business more secure and safer than this.
"You've always lived in your mother's house, and you don't even have a small courtyard of your own with Gu Yun! And even if you don't live there, you can still be the landlord with me!" Shen Yiyi had already spent most of her money, and she was heartbroken to see those courtyards with no one paying attention to them!
Let your besties just buy it!
Chu Bing smiled, "If you still want to buy it, I'll go get the money for you."
A perfect match!
But Shen Yiyi shook her head and said, "I'm almost done." She had already bought ten sets, so it would be enough for now, and she could worry about the rest later. It's not like she wouldn't come.
Chu Bingcai said: "Then I'll buy some too."
“Buy more!”
"good."
So she went home and asked her mother to get money. She needed a lot of money to buy five yards.
Mother Chu didn't ask any questions and went straight to get the money. After all, the money belonged to her daughter, and she also supported the idea of buying the yard.
She also said to Shen Yiyi: "Do you want me to find someone to renovate the house for you, and then rent it out to you through the Housing Authority? The rent is indeed not much, but if someone lives in the house, it can be considered a form of maintenance."
Rent is only one aspect. The main point is to treat it as a long-term investment, but it's just sitting there anyway, so it's also good to rent it out.
Moreover, houses are very magical. When someone lives in them, they are new. When no one lives in them, they will decay. It is very metaphysical.
"Will it be too much trouble for you, Auntie?" Shen Yiyi was a little tempted.
"It's not a problem. If you trust me, I can find someone to renovate it for you. It's not expensive. I renovated my two courtyards last time and they were done very well." Mother Chu said.
Shen Yiyi looked at Chu Bing, and Chu Bing asked, "Let's decorate together?"
"Okay!" Shen Yiyi nodded and looked at Mother Chu, "Then I'll trouble you, Auntie."
I didn't say anything about hard work pay or anything like that. People wouldn't look down on that little bit of money, and it would seem petty if I said it out loud.
She also knew that Mother Chu was helping so much because of Chu Bing.
"It's okay. I don't have much to do anyway. I'm bored all day long. It's good to have something to do." Mother Chu told her not to worry about it.
So while I was still in the capital, I found a decorator to take a look at the yard.
Shen Yiyi's ten courtyards and Chu Bing's five courtyards all need to be checked for the extent of renovation.
Of course, Chu's mother also came to take a look and said to the renovation boss, "So many courtyards are handed over to you. This is a big project. You have to give me a discount on the price."
The decorator knew that this was a big order, so he smiled and said, "Don't worry, Mrs. Chu, I'm definitely giving you a fair price!"
As he spoke, he told Shen Yiyi and Chu Bing the price.
The conditions of each yard are different, so the prices are also different. He will record the conditions of each yard he visits.
I started talking to both of them.
Those who are engaged in decoration and business are all good at judging the type of people they are looking for. For families with average conditions, they will quote a high price, but for people like this who are either rich or noble, they will give a very realistic price.
The purpose is to leave a good impression so that you can come back if needed in the future, or introduce others.
For example, the price for the two secondary courtyards that I renovated for Chu’s mother last time was really reasonable and the quality was also very high.
That’s why we received such a large order this time.
So the price we gave you this time is also a realistic price, there is no need to bargain any more.
The matter was finalized.
Mother Chu took care of it and told them to just rest assured.
After finishing all these, I came home to eat.
The food outside is really not as good as the food at home.
When Zhang Yushu saw them coming back, he knew that things in the yard were almost done.
She was also moved, so she asked Chu Guan, "Do you think I should buy two sets?"
