Uncle Zhang walked into the agency with his hands behind his back. The old lady and Da Laba went to the textile factory in the morning. Li Mei helped contact a few young women of the right age. They went to understand the situation and see what they were looking for in a partner. If there were suitable young men here, they would help introduce them.
Several of them were from Li Mei's workshop and had a good relationship with each other. The girls thought that Sister Li knew everything about them and it would be good to have an agent to help with the screening, and they didn't have to take any money anyway.
The two of them registered the information of several girls, and then Uncle Zhang came in.
"Uncle Zhang, please sit down. I'll pour you some water." This was a wealthy family in the compound, with the most unmarried children. Da Laba hurriedly went to pour water for Uncle Zhang.
Uncle Zhang waved his hand and said, "Stop busying yourself. Sister Li, let me ask if there is any house for sale."
The old lady also thought that he came to talk about his grandson's partner, "What requirements do you have for the house?" The old lady did not say "no" directly, and asked Uncle Zhang about his needs first.
Uncle Zhang stood up and looked at the three shops and the house behind them. "Sister-in-law, how much did you pay for this house?"
"Fifteen thousand," the old lady replied.
Uncle Zhang was shocked when he heard this. When the economy just started to revolt a few years ago, a house like this only cost a few thousand. He didn’t buy it then. If he hadn’t had the money, it would have been fine. But now he didn’t buy it even though he had the money. He really regrets it now!
"Houses in Beijing are in short supply now, and the prices are rising rapidly. Houses are as popular as young girls. If you think about it, you will be snatched up. The price of this house changes every day, and you can't get it." You think it's too expensive, but many people don't think it's too expensive. If you want to buy a house, you can't hesitate. You should act when it's time. The old lady wants to tell Uncle Zhang that it's good to have a house now. If it's not bad, you have to decide quickly. If you think about it, you will definitely not be able to buy it.
"This house is too expensive, I can't afford it," sighed Uncle Zhang. This yard is big enough for his five grandsons to marry, but unfortunately he doesn't have that much money.
"Uncle Zhang, let me tell you about the current house prices in Beijing." Having lived here for decades, Da Laba still understands his old neighbors. He wants to buy a house but doesn't want to pay a high price.
"Nowadays, the price of a two-room apartment in a large courtyard in the city is between fifteen hundred and two thousand, depending on the size of the house. A three-room apartment with its own door and yard costs around four thousand. It is much cheaper in the suburbs. A three-room apartment with its own door and yard costs around two thousand, depending on how old the house is and the size of the yard." Da Laba introduced everything to Uncle Zhang based on what Wu Zhiqiu had told her.
Uncle Zhang was stunned for a moment. "Years ago, Fenglan bought a private courtyard for less than three thousand, right?"
"Uncle Zhang, you also said that was the year before last. It has been more than half a year. You may not be able to buy it next month at the price I told you today.
Look at how many people have come from outside the capital. There are too many people but too few houses. The housing prices are rising like a dung beetle falling into a dung vat. "
Da Laba was also shocked when she heard what Wu Zhiqiu said. She didn't expect the house price to increase so fast. Fortunately, their house was sold to Wu Zhiqiu. If it was sold to someone else, she and Zeng Laixi would never be able to afford a house again.
Uncle Zhang did not dare to hesitate. "Well, find me a small two-room apartment first. How much will you charge if it works?"
"Normally we charge one percent of the transaction price. We are old neighbors. If it really goes well, I'll just give you ten dollars." The old lady smiled. It is not easy to find a house, so this is really a friendly price.
"Then I'm getting a good deal," Uncle Zhang was also happy. Compared with a house that costs thousands of dollars, these ten dollars are just a drop in the bucket.
As soon as Uncle Zhang said that, the old lady went to look for Wu Zhiqiu. She was not familiar with this business, and she and the old man wandered around for many days before finding such a house. It would definitely not be successful if they searched in this way.
