The next morning, Chen Wang and Chen Dazhuang rode their bicycles to the city.
At that time, there was no concept of commercial housing. People in the city either lived in traditional courtyard houses or in commercial housing allocated by their workplaces.
For example, the house where Lin Xiuqin's sister Lin Xiuya and her family of three live now was allocated by the school where her brother-in-law Liu Qihong works.
Therefore, investing in real estate in the city now is far from as easy as it will be in a few decades.
In the era before Chen Wang traveled through time, as long as you had money, you could find a real estate agent or go directly to the community sales office, and someone would help you get things done.
"Awang, where are we going?"
Chen Dazhuang looked at Chen Wang standing beside him and asked.
Chen Wang rode his bicycle, his eyes swept across the street, and replied: "I don't have any idea either, let's take a look first."
This is not the capital, so it might be hard to find someone who specializes in this industry. I can only look for it myself.
Seeing a newsstand in front of him, Chen Wang said, "Let's go over there and buy a newspaper."
"good!"
Chen Dazhuang nodded.
The two came to the newsstand. The owner was a man who looked to be in his sixties, and he was reading a newspaper.
After hearing the noise, the old man looked up at them.
"Boss, give me a local newspaper and two bottles of soda."
Chen Wang said with a smile.
"The newspaper is 10 cents, and two bottles of soda are 50 cents, a total of 60 cents."
The old man first handed him the newspaper, then took two bottles of soda and helped him open the caps.
"Give you money."
Chen Wang gave him 60 cents in change, then took the soda and handed it to Chen Dazhuang.
This kind of soda is to be drunk directly, and the bottle must be returned to the owner after drinking.
The two had been riding bicycles for over an hour and were extremely thirsty. They tilted their heads back and drank the soda in one gulp.
After returning the bottle to the boss, Chen Wang sat on the base of the bicycle, opened the newspaper and started reading it quickly.
Skip the unimportant information and focus on looking for news related to real estate.
Chen Dazhuang also tilted his head and watched along.
"Uncle, is there any information about the house here?"
Chen Wang asked.
"house?"
The old man looked at him with confusion.
"Yes, I heard that the country is promoting the commercialization of housing. My brother and I are from remote mountainous areas, and life is hard. Don't you want to buy a house and settle down in the city?"
Chen Wang just made up something.
“I see!”
The old man nodded in understanding and said, "Then take a look at the back of page 6. But houses in the city are not cheap."
"Yes, my brother and I went hunting in the mountains and saved some money."
Chen Wang smiled and turned the newspaper to page 6.
Sure enough, I saw information about the house in the lower right corner.
There were advertisements for several storefronts on a street that were being rented out or resold, with a detailed address below.
"I made a mistake. It seems that this is not the house you want."
The old man also looked at this part of the newspaper again, looked at the two people and said
"It's okay, we'll look for it again, sir, thank you!"
Chen Wang rolled up the newspaper and thanked him with a smile.
"No thanks, no thanks."
The old man waved his hand.
“Let’s go!”
Chen Wang got on his bike and left.
"Wait for me!"
Chen Dazhuang hurried to follow.
After walking a distance away from the newsstand, Chen Dazhuang asked, "Awang, which place are we going to in the newspaper?"
"Well, go and take a look!"
"That's not the house we live in!"
"Why, you want to move to the city?"
"No, no, no, of course not. My house was just built!"
Chen Dazhuang shook his head hurriedly.
Even if I bought a house in the city, he definitely wouldn't come to live there.
He grew up in the countryside and has long been accustomed to life there. He can farm and hunt in the village. What can he do in the city?
"So, we bought it for investment, not for living. As long as the location is good, the potential for appreciation of the store is greater than that of a house, and it can also be rented out."
Chen Wang explained with a smile.
Chen Dazhuang's eyes lit up, and he nodded vigorously, saying, "I'll listen to you. I'll buy whatever you say. Anyway, you're smart, so I won't suffer any loss if I follow you."
“You…”
Chen Wang laughed dumbly and reminded: "This is just me. You must not do this to others, otherwise you will be cheated out of your pants."
"Hehe... Of course, I'm not a fool."
"Hmm? Why do I feel like you are implying something about me?"
"No, no."
…
…
The two chatted and laughed along the way, and after asking two passers-by, they finally found the address in the newspaper.
Judging from the pictures and text in the newspaper, this place looks like a good place.
But when I actually arrived there, I realized that this was a very deserted street.
Several storefronts were closed. After walking out of this street, the street with a wide concrete road outside had more traffic and few people would turn in.
"Awang, this place doesn't look that good, it's a scam!"
Chen Dazhuang said with a frown.
Chen Wang didn't say anything for a while, he just stood there, looking around thoughtfully.
This is indeed a deserted street, the storefronts are temporarily abandoned, and there is a very old residential area behind it.
However, he is a time traveler after all, and has the advantage of being a prophet of the next few decades.
This place is very close to the city center and has an excellent location. In his opinion, these shops, including an old residential area behind it, will definitely be demolished and rebuilt within ten years.
