Chapter 350 Buying a House
No matter how much the Yangcheng Hotel regretted, it was useless.
As the leader of the Yangcheng Hotel, he was now worried about how to prepare the report at the end of the year.
Shi Tingyu began to prepare to open a gallery, because in September of this year, the state promulgated the "Regulations on Individual Business Owners in China", allowing individuals to register as individual businesses.
In September, she was still waiting and watching.
It takes time for government orders to be passed.
In October, some individual merchants appeared in Jinling.
Many of them were repair services such as shoe repair, car repair and sewing, as well as small cold drinks, cold food and fruit and vegetable shops.
There were also villagers nearby who brought their own vegetables to the family courtyard to sell.
For this reason, the camp has specially arranged people to maintain order and supervise, and no one can exceed the specified range. After all, it is a bit close to the camp.
Of course, there are also advantages. It is much more convenient for military families to buy vegetables and fruits.
On this day of rest, Shi Tingyu and Lu Weiguo went to the city to find a house.
They need a suitable place to open an art gallery.
But after looking around, the locations of those houses are not suitable.
The location of the gallery cannot be too noisy, but it cannot be too remote.
Too noisy will affect the audience viewing the paintings in the gallery, but too remote will be inconvenient for customers to travel and staff to enter and exit.
Seeing that he was not satisfied with the houses he had seen, Lu Weiguo comforted his wife: "Don't worry, I'll ask someone in the afternoon and I'm sure I'll find a suitable one." Shi
Tingyu nodded.
If it were in the future, she could go to various real estate agencies to look for houses, but now there are no real estate agencies, and she has to rely on asking around and word of mouth to find a house.
Finally, Lu Weiguo brought a piece of news. There
is an abandoned art gallery about two kilometers away from Jinyi.
It has been abandoned for more than ten years, and the owner is moving away, so they are going to sell the abandoned art gallery.
Shi Tingyu was a little surprised. When she was working at Jinyi before, she passed by there countless times, but she thought the owner of the house was gone, so no one cleaned it up.
I didn't expect that the house actually had an owner.
It's good to have a ready-made house, and then we just need to renovate it.
Thinking of this, Shi Tingyu couldn't wait.
The next day, because Lu Weiguo had to go for training, she went there with a sharp sword.
The owner of the house was an old lady in her sixties. The gallery was once opened by her son, but the house was under the name of the old lady. During the special period, she published an announcement in the newspaper to sever ties with her son and let him run to Hong Kong City to avoid disaster.
Now the old lady's son is preparing to take his mother to Hong Kong City for a reunion.
In fact, according to the current system, the property rights of most houses belong to the Housing Bureau and the building units, but the old lady's gallery is an exception.
After the special period, the ownership of the house was returned to her personally, and she can buy and sell it.
This abandoned gallery has two floors, with a total area of more than 600 square meters. It
is considered a medium-sized gallery.
Except for the fact that it is a bit run-down, everything else is pretty good. The main structure is also very solid. It can be used after a good renovation.
After looking at the house, Shi Tingyu decided to buy it.
"Grandma Miao, I have seen the house. I wonder how much you want to sell it for?"
Now housing has not been commercialized and has not formed a market price, but everyone knows how much a house is worth.
The owner had obviously calculated the price. She held up three fingers and said, "30,000."
Shi Tingyu hesitated for a moment and decided to negotiate the price with the other party. "Grandma Miao, the gallery is completely dilapidated. I will have to renovate it after I buy it. Now only the main part of your house is still usable. There is nothing else in it. If you can make it cheaper, I can pay it all at once."
Grandma Miao's face flashed with embarrassment. The house was indeed too dilapidated, but after those ten years, her own health was not good. It was good enough for her to take care of herself. She didn't have the energy to clean up the house.
Thinking that she was going to Hong Kong soon, if she didn't sell the gallery, she might not be able to catch up in time, and she also wanted to reunite with her son and his family as soon as possible.
Finally, she gritted her teeth and said, "At least 26,000, no less."
Before this, Shi Tingyu had also learned about the price, and this price was reasonable, so she agreed.
It seemed as if she had just bought a house that had nothing and was in a dilapidated state, but the main thing was that the land was valuable.
Both parties drafted and signed the contract that day, and discussed going to the Real Estate Bureau to handle the transfer procedures the next day.
After returning home, Shi Tingyu told Lu Weiguo and Lu's mother about the matter, and they didn't have any objections.
The next day, Lu Weiguo took a leave and went to the Real Estate Bureau with Shi Tingyu to handle the transfer with the old lady.
Shi Tingyu is now considered a celebrity, and with Lu Weiguo, who is wearing a military uniform, the procedures that would have taken several days to complete were completed on the same day.
Shi Tingyu was also very generous in giving money.
After transferring the money to the old lady, Shi Tingyu looked at his family's assets and was shocked to find that their assets had reached more than 300,000 yuan without him realizing it. After
transferring the money for buying the house to the old lady, they still had more than 320,000 yuan left.
Looking at so much money in the account, Shi Tingyu fell into deep thought.
This money will not appreciate if kept in hand, it is better to invest it.
After returning home, Shi Tingyu asked Lu Weiguo, "Are you going to continue to develop in the army in the future?"
Lu Weiguo didn't understand what he meant, but he nodded.
"What do you think? Should we buy a house or courtyard house in Beijing?"
According to Lu Weiguo's current promotion speed, he may be transferred to Beijing in ten years.
And with her parents' current research results, they will also go to Beijing sooner or later, so it is better to make plans in advance.
Lu Weiguo did not react to how the topic jumped from his career plan to buying a house in Beijing, but he had no objection to his wife's suggestion.
Shi Tingyu still explained it to the other party.
Lu Weiguo listened to her future plan with a smile, "You are really bold."
But thinking about settling down in the military camp in the future, this kind of thing is not impossible.
He said: "Okay, I'll listen to you."
In fact, Shi Tingyu thought more. In a few years, when the Siheyuan can be sold, she plans to let her brother buy one too. Anyway, it's a waste for him to keep his money.
When the time comes, the two families will be together and can take care of each other. Looking at her brother's condition, it's not known when he will get married.
When her parents get old, she can also take care of them nearby.
Moreover, the Siheyuan can be renovated into an art gallery. If she moves to Beijing in the future, her career will naturally be transferred there.
Thinking of this, she felt that she could give it a try.
In two years, a siheyuan will cost only 10,000 yuan.
As for why houses in Jinling are more expensive than siheyuans, it is because not many people like siheyuans now.
People always think that siheyuans are not suitable for living.
Some residents of siheyuans now rent houses together. To put it nicely, it is a siheyuan, but to put it bluntly, it is a big courtyard. People
nowadays prefer to live in buildings, which are clean and convenient, while siheyuans are the opposite, messy and inconvenient.
