Chapter 300: Beijing Siheyuan (Seeking Gold Votes)
The aunt quickly brought a thin old man back to the alley. Although the old man was dressed in a low-key manner, it could be seen that the material of the clothes was very good. The color and style were very consistent with the policies of previous years. It seemed that this person was the kind of person who was scared by the events of previous years.
My aunt was very enthusiastic. She explained that the old man lived in a tube-shaped building not far away. She also chattered for a long time, "I don't know what Lao Zhao thinks. Although the tube-shaped building is a building, I don't think it is as comfortable as the courtyard here. But he just wants to live there. The large courtyard with three entrances is just left there. I even want to sell it..."
"If I didn't have so many children and so many places to spend money, to be honest, I really want to buy this house, but my financial situation doesn't allow it!"
Aunt said a lot, but Old Zhao didn't say anything. It seemed that he really suffered a lot during those years.
Chen Jintao also got to know about Lao Zhao's situation because of her aunt's kindness. Lao Zhao now lives with his son and daughter-in-law in a tube-shaped building allocated by his son's unit.
The higher-ups also compensated their family for previous events, arranging a stable job for Lao Zhao's son and allocating him a three-bedroom house.
Old Zhao was considered to be one of the luckier ones among those unfortunate people, because his son and daughter-in-law went to the countryside with him and were very filial to him. He was not like those who were abandoned by their relatives and friends.
You have to know that the reason why many people in that era encountered bad things was because of the betrayal of their most trusted relatives and friends. There were even apprentices who reported their masters and eventually got things that originally belonged to the masters.
Lao Zhao's situation is relatively good, because the whole family is united. So even though they suffered, the whole family returned safely.
However, after returning to the city, the family discussed it and all agreed to sell the yard directly.
As they were talking, they soon reached the end of the alley.
This place is a little different from the previous one. Lao Zhao took out the key, opened the door, and several people walked in.
From the front to the end, Chen Jintao had no dissatisfaction. Although some parts were damaged, it was not a problem to find a decoration team to repair them.
"Uncle Zhao, your house is really nice. I really like it. Please give me a price!"
Chen Jintao came straight to the point and there was no need to beat around the bush. The small Western-style building their family lived in now was actually very grand, but if compared with the house in front of them, of course this courtyard house was more to Chen Jintao's liking.
She was almost impatient to buy this house. As long as the price was not too outrageous, she felt that she could accept it. However, if this yard was put in the future, it would be impossible to buy it without 100 or 200 million yuan. That would be a real sky-high price.
What's more, this area will become a tourist attraction in the future, and Shen Jintao can't even imagine the price of housing here.
Old Zhao then spoke, "You have seen this house. The land below the house I sold to you also belongs to you. This house is definitely not cheap, twenty-eight thousand yuan. If you can accept it, I can help you transfer the ownership right now."
Twenty-eight thousand yuan is a really expensive price. It is a sky-high price in this era. You should know that nowadays, if someone has a millionaire, it will be reported in the newspapers. Twenty-eight thousand yuan is enough for an ordinary family to earn for many years.
And although the economy is now open, there are very few people who can come up with so much cash.
Chen Jintao could understand the price very well. Seeing the reluctance that flashed across Lao Zhao's eyes, she knew that Lao Zhao still had deep feelings for this house. If he wasn't thinking about selling it at a lower price, it would be no problem for this house to be sold for 30,000.
Chen Jintao didn't want to cheat others. Besides, even if she spent 50,000 yuan to buy this house, she would get a great bargain. So she nodded and said to Lao Zhao, "Uncle Zhao, I know you are already selling it at this price. I have nothing to say. Besides, my aunt also briefly told us about your family situation. We have no doubts about the character of your family members."
"I can accept this price, but I have to ask first if there is any dispute about this house."
The small courtyard that was bought before is not in Beijing, so even if the price increases in the future, it won’t be too outrageous. Unless it is demolished, the house will be like that in the future. So even though there was a dispute about the house, Shen Jintao still bought it. But the courtyard house is different.
She knew very well that this house must have been divided among many people in the future, and it was probably taken back by the state after Lao Zhao returned to the city. Just looking at the degree of damage in the house, it was clear that many people of varying social status had lived here before. This house could be bought, but there must be no disputes.
"Don't worry about that. This place was indeed allocated to someone else to live in before, but now it has been handled. The higher-ups have also arranged new places for those people to live. Even if you buy it, no one will fight with you for anything. You can rest assured."
Old Zhao said anxiously that there was really no problem with the house. He finally met someone who could afford so much money. Old Zhao was also happy. There were really many people who came to ask about this house, but the only person who could really pay to buy the house was Chen Jintao.
Huo Beichuan stood beside her with a cold face, like the patron saint of Shen Jintao, but if someone noticed him at this moment, they would definitely find that there was something wrong with the man's expression, and he was obviously unhappy.
As for what Huo Beichuan was unhappy about, if Chen Jintao knew it, she would definitely laugh to death.
After hearing the price of the courtyard house, Huo Beichuan became speechless. He had saved money for so long and thought that even if the price was a little different, it wouldn't be too much. But after hearing the price of 28,000, Huo Beichuan didn't know what to say.
For this price, the little money I have is just the tip of the iceberg, and my wife has to pay the bulk of the bill.
Oh!
The enthusiastic auntie before also assured Chen Jintao, "There will be no problem with Lao Zhao's house. Sister, your husband is an officer. We can deceive anyone but you, right?"
Chen Jintao nodded. Anyway, if there was any big dispute over the ownership of the house, they could just go to the Housing Management Office and find out. Besides, although Lao Zhao was a little thinner, he had a firm look in his eyes and he didn't look like the kind of person who would lie to trick people into buying a house.
"Okay! Then let's agree on the price. My wife and I will go get the money now and will be back in half an hour. Uncle Zhao, please wait for us for a while."
