There are not many merchants in this seafood market on the Shibaqu Lane, only more than 60.
The shops of these more than 60 merchants are all on this small street adjacent to Shibaqu Lane. Not only are the shops small, but they are also crowded on both sides of the street, making it look a bit messy.
This place is not suitable for opening a shop, especially a seafood shop. The sewage is overflowing here, and a large part of it flows into Shibaqu Alley.
Li Cheng remembered that when he first went to Shibaqu Alley, he stepped into the sewage. Later, Li Cheng learned that the sewage flowed from this side.
Shibaqu Lane has become a cultural relic protection site, so the people in the seafood market have to close their business and leave.
However, the notice had been posted for several days, and the market management staff had visited the merchants several times to mobilize them, but these merchants still had no intention of moving out.
Not only did they have no intention of moving out, but no one even came to collect the compensation.
Li Cheng soon learned about this situation and wanted to help those market managers.
But Li Cheng would not personally deal with such matters, so he asked someone to find the market managers and gave them a statement of the situation.
After seeing this statement, the market managers stopped looking for the merchants and instead notified the residents around the seafood market one by one through the household registration department to attend a meeting.
After everyone arrived, the market manager told them directly that Shibaqu Lane has become a cultural relic protection site and the city will soon be renovating the place.
As a street adjacent to Shibaqu Lane, the city should also renovate it together based on the principle of coordinated and unified restoration.
However, the seafood market has not been moved away yet, which has affected the overall planning.
After saying that, the market manager took out the modified renderings and showed them to these people.
When these people saw that the originally shabby alleys and streets had become ancient and charming in this rendering, and the walls and eaves had flying eaves, animals, carved beams and painted buildings, like a classical painting, their eyes lit up and they were amazed.
However, what made them happiest were the street lamps in the style of ancient palace lanterns and the roads paved with bluestone slabs.
They were troubled by the dirty roads with sewage flowing in the alleys and streets, as well as the dim street lights.
The market manager then told them that the seafood market was moving away, not the market itself, but that seafood could no longer be sold there.
The original shops can still be opened, but they have to wait until the renovation is completed and then be deployed in a unified manner according to the overall plan.
What else do you want? What else can you do? Is this planning bad, or is the city failing to consider the interests of the majority?
After the meeting, these people who had lived here for a long time went home and began to talk about this matter.
Of course, Li Cheng and Weng Xiaozhu, who own homes in Shibaqu Lane, also attended the meeting. At this time, the two of them, like everyone else living here, were also discussing the prospects of this place.
Li Cheng said: "If this place becomes like the blueprint, it will be a must-visit place for tourists in the future."
Weng Xiaozhu added, "That's for sure. For example, even families with college entrance exam candidates might come here to take a walk and get some good luck. After all, this is where two top scorers were born."
Someone nearby echoed, "That's right..."
Someone else asked, “What good will that do for us who live here?”
Everyone looked at this person with sidelong glances, and someone sneered, "Are you stupid? This place will be a blessed land in the future. Is it any good for you to live in a blessed land?"
As soon as the words fell, everyone burst into laughter.
After the laughter died down, Li Cheng suddenly said, "It is indeed a blessed land..."
Everyone looked at him. Li Cheng pointed in the direction of the courtyard he had bought and said, "Guess how much I spent on Courtyard No. 9."
Everyone glanced over there, and one old man said, "Courtyard No. 9? I know it's bigger, but it's too old and worthless. But the courtyard across the way is worth quite a bit."
The yard opposite belonged to Weng Xiaozhu. After hearing what the old man said, Weng Xiaozhu looked at Li Cheng proudly.
Li Cheng smiled and asked, "Which courtyard is your house located in, and how much is it worth?"
The old man pointed to the other side and said, "My house is over there. The yard is not big, but the house is new!"
Li Cheng smiled and thought that the house mentioned here was new, so it must be at least thirty years old.
Li Cheng looked at everyone and said, "It's true that this is a blessed place. Ever since the city issued a notice to move the seafood market, someone has approached me, wanting to buy my courtyard."
Everyone stared at Li Cheng, waiting for him to say what he would say next.
Seeing their attention drawn to him, Li Cheng said, "One hundred thousand. Someone offered one hundred thousand to buy my courtyard..."
With a loud bang, everyone exploded again.
They all knew Li Cheng's Courtyard No. 9. Although the yard there was bigger, the house was too old, as if it was built before the liberation.
Other houses had undergone renovations, like renovating the roofs and fixing the walls, but Courtyard No. 9 seemed to have always been the same, and no one had ever repaired it.
Anyone willing to pay 100,000 yuan for a yard like this must be blind.
Seeing their disbelief, Li Cheng smiled and said, "I didn't sell it..."
Before he could finish, the old man who had just spoken said, "No one is buying it, right?"
Everyone laughed again.
Li Cheng also laughed, and then he said, "I know you don't believe me, so I'm willing to pay 100,000 yuan for your yard. However, it must be a separate house with its own entrance and yard, not a large compound."
Everyone was shocked and stared at Li Cheng with wide eyes.
At this time, Weng Xiaozhu suddenly said, "I'm willing to offer this price too. Are you willing to sell it?"
The scene suddenly became quiet, and at this time, these people realized that their homes suddenly became very valuable.
Seeing their expressions, Li Cheng and Weng Xiaozhu both laughed. Seeing them like this, everyone else also laughed with a bit of embarrassment.
Li Cheng didn't want to torture them anymore, otherwise someone would really ask him to sell the house.
It’s not that Li Cheng can’t afford it, but that Li Cheng doesn’t want to take advantage of these people.
It's obvious that once the renovations are completed, the housing prices here will skyrocket.
Moreover, because this is a cultural relic protection site, these large and small courtyards will not be demolished and will continue to exist here. In the future, they will be courtyard houses in the city center.
If someone sells the house at this time, they will definitely regret it later.
Li Cheng didn't want to make some of them regret it, so even though he offered a high price of 100,000 yuan, he had no intention of actually buying their yard.
However, some people are short-sighted and only want the 100,000 yuan.
In fact, this is also Li Cheng's fault. Li Cheng only said that it has its own door and courtyard, but did not say the size of the courtyard. This person thought that this was his chance to make a profit.
