The middle-aged man who was squatting on the ground smoking at the door immediately put out his cigarette and stood up when he heard someone talking.
He saw Lin Baojun in the crowd and greeted him first: "Comrade Lin, this is here~"
Lin Baojun also took two quick steps towards the house: "Comrade Zhang, you."
He walked closer, pulled out a pack of cigarettes from his jacket pocket, took out a cigarette and handed it to me: "We are late, have a cigarette."
He knew very well how much money a middleman could save when buying a house if he put in more effort.
The middleman took the cigarette and said with a smile, "I'm early."
He put the cigarette behind his ear, looked over at the man behind him, and said with a smile, "Your family is quite large. No wonder you need a bigger house."
Lin Baojun also had a smile on his face. He pointed at Song Yiyuan and said, "My brother-in-law is from Kyoto. He is familiar with this. Come with him and take a look."
This is to tell the middleman that there are people from Kyoto on his side, and not to play any tricks or deceive him.
The middleman buys and sells things every day and has met so many people, how could he not understand Lin Baojun's little thoughts.
He smiled and nodded, "Buying a house is a big deal, so of course the whole family has to come and see it."
As he spoke, he took out the key and opened the door.
"Come in and take a look. This house is a small courtyard with six rooms. The kitchen is outside so it doesn't take up much space. The toilet is public and is nearby."
Lin Baojun and others filed into the room.
When everyone saw the whole picture of the house, their expressions froze and they didn't know how to start.
This is indeed a "small" courtyard. After entering the door and walking through a corridor, the courtyard is on the right. There is an open space in the courtyard and houses around it.
But this room is too small. One bedroom is less than six square meters and it is very shabby. It feels like everything needs to be redecorated before it can be lived in.
Perhaps because they have been looking at the house they live in now for a long time, the Lin family suddenly felt that the gap was particularly huge.
There are mountains and water in Xiaofang, but there is not even a blade of grass here.
The house has carved beams and painted buildings and pavilions, but there is not even a stone table here.
The walls are all cracked, and there is not a single room left that is intact; all needs repairing.
The middleman noticed the strange look on the Lin family's faces and said with a smile, "This house is a bit old, but it's cheap. Look, it has six rooms. Not only is it enough for your family to live in, but the price is also cheap. It's only 1,300 yuan. The extra 200 yuan is almost enough to buy furniture and repair the house."
Lin's mother exclaimed, "This shabby house still costs 1,300 yuan!"
The middleman explained with a smile, "Big sister, this is in Wangfujing, the heart of the city. Not only is it close to schools, transportation, and shopping, but I tell you, if you buy a house here, you'll be considered a Kyoto resident."
The Lin family couldn't fall for his magic potion.
Why buy such a shabby house? If every room needs to be renovated, what’s the difference between that and building a new house?
This is not much different from buying a piece of land!
Lin Baojun said, "Comrade Zhang, let's look at other houses."
The middleman nodded and said, "We can't just decide after seeing one. Let's take a look at the other two that are not far from here."
The Lin family followed the middleman to buy two more places. The houses there were more shabby than the other, all old, dilapidated and small, and the prices were higher and higher.
The place was indeed not far from Wangfujing, but the extent of the damage was not worth more than a thousand.
The middleman looked at the increasingly gloomy faces of the Lin family and said bitterly, "Comrade Lin, your budget is between one thousand and two thousand. Houses near Wangfujing are priced around this price. If you can raise your budget by another one thousand, we can look at larger, more formal houses."
What he said was indeed true. If you want to find a decent house near Wangfujing, the price starts from two thousand yuan.
