Now that they have the gold bars and the money they earned during the summer vacation, both siblings have a place to continue making money.
It's time for siblings Ning Xiyue and Ning Qingyuan to fulfill the wishes they made during the holidays.
On the one hand, he asked Datou and Erhua to keep an eye on the house, while he took the map to choose a place, and then he acted separately to look at the good streets and inquire about the situation.
Running around outside during the day and working on business at night.
After a week, their hard work paid off and they finally found it.
Ning Qingyuan found a courtyard house with two entrances that suited his taste very much and bought it for 7,500 yuan.
At this point, every member of the Ning family had bought their own house, with at least one courtyard house for each person.
Now that he is studying, he either lives in school or at home. Considering that it is not good to leave the house alone as it will easily ruin the house, Ning Qingyuan plans to clean up the house and rent it out, just like his sister said, and collect rent without doing anything.
Ning Xiyue also found a two-story courtyard house for sale in a prosperous area.
The department store, western restaurant, roast duck restaurant, grocery store, supply and marketing cooperative, etc. are all not far away across the street from the back house.
Ning Xiyue was very satisfied with this row of back houses facing the street. There was enough traffic and no obstructions in front, so a sign could be seen at a glance.
You can sell goods directly by opening a few windows. It would be a good idea to use this courtyard as the first store or head office in the future.
Ning Xiyue had already started to imagine how to transform this yard.
The homeowner in front of her pulled her back.
"My house is pretty good, right? It's in a great location, well-maintained, and quite large, a full 750 square meters. I'm also selling it sincerely. If you really want to buy it, I'll give you a fair price. This is the amount."
The homeowner gestured a number with his hands.
Ning Xiyue was stunned by the number and even suspected that she had seen it wrong. She didn't want to be tactful or negotiate anymore and just turned around and left.
The homeowner was caught off guard and hurriedly grabbed Ning Xiyue: "Hey, little comrade, don't go. Let's talk. This price is very honest."
Ning Xiyue stopped and looked at the landlord who was asking for too much, so she just said it bluntly:
"Don't think I'm a young comrade and you're lying to me. I'm not some clueless girl. I know the prices of courtyard houses in Beijing. Even if your house is half the price, I can buy a courtyard house with three entrances and over a thousand square meters. You really dare to say 'honest price'? I can buy two courtyard houses for 25,000 yuan."
This uncle was quite nice. He could have robbed her of 25,000 yuan, but he chose to give her a courtyard house.
Does she look like the big head on the silver dollar?
She bought her last 1,400-square-meter three-story courtyard house for 11,000 yuan.
Wow, this homeowner is really brave. Although the location here is good, it can't reach such a high level. He is crazy about money. He really dares to say the price is honest with a sincere face. It's not a shame!
"Ahaha, young comrade, you must have seen it wrong. I bid 15,000, but you thought it was 25,000. We are all honest people, so of course we are honest. 15,000, this location is really good."
It was obvious that the homeowner didn't feel guilty. Now that he knew she was an expert in the market and couldn't fool her, he smiled and changed his words without any nervousness.
In this case, Ning Xiyue also followed the trend, softened her expression, and said in a surprised tone:
"Really? Then maybe I really saw it wrongly. My eyes are a little heavy."
"But, uncle, fifteen thousand is still a bit expensive. Your apartment is small. Can you give me a lower price? My relative bought a 1,500 square meter apartment for just over ten thousand. If my parents knew I spent so much more on a 700 square meter apartment, they would definitely scold me."
Ning Xiyue showed a negotiating expression on her face: "Less, how about ten thousand?"
The homeowner shook his head in embarrassment:
“The price of ten thousand is really not acceptable. Look at my location, it’s the most prosperous place, it can’t be compared with those remote suburbs.
"I see you really want to buy this house, so I can give you 12,000 yuan. Any less is really not enough. I have elderly parents and young children to support, and I rely on this money to make a living."
The owner of this house is a real drama queen. He started crying as soon as he said he would. His eyes were red. Ning Xiyue admired him deeply.
He has a dark heart, thick skin, and can act. He is a good businessman.
It's a pity that I met her.
In the end, Ning Xiyue ruthlessly chopped it off a few more times and bought it for the full price of 10,500.
The two siblings found a house and then hired a temporary construction team from a nearby village to renovate it.
This temporary team was the one Ning Xiyue had worked with before when she renovated the honeycomb-like courtyard. They were all honest, simple and hardworking farmers. The first time they worked together was very pleasant, so Ning Xiyue found them this time as well.
Ning Qingyuan's house was to be rented out, and it was in good condition, so it was very simple. He just had to clean it up a bit. He supervised the work himself, and when the construction team arrived, they promised to finish it in two days.
Ning Xiyue's house will be used as a future store, so it needs major changes.
So the construction team started working on Ning Qingyuan's house.
Ning Xiyue quickly took advantage of these two days to think about how to design the store and what major changes should be made.
She thought about the elements needed for cosmetics stores seen in later generations, combined with the characteristics of this era and the features of her house, and designed a basic sketch overnight.
Since Wang Jiandong was a student majoring in architecture, she took the sketch to Wang Jiandong's home and asked him to help take a look.
Wang Jiandong was fascinated by the design draft. After reading it, he clapped his hands on the table and expressed his approval. He was even more interested in the store that Ning Xiyue mentioned.
"Sister Xi, your design draft is very creative and has good ideas. I'll make some minor changes to some of the unreasonable parts. Later, take me to check it out on site. We can discuss this design draft and strive to make it better and implement the ideas."
"Also, I have a request. Is that possible?" Wang Jiandong asked awkwardly.
