Chapter 602: Take the property in the capital!
Gao Mingcheng had some free time, and after getting Wang Xun's permission, he started to look around in the warehouse. The warehouse only had a small window for ventilation, so the lighting was not very good, but there was an electric light installed inside, and when the switch was pressed, the incandescent lamp emitted a bright light.
For Gao Mingcheng, this place is like a small treasure house. Walking and admiring it is like treasure hunting.
He casually flipped through the items on the shelves. The items here were very diverse, with almost everything available.
He could appreciate it slowly, but Wang Xun didn't have the time for that.
He has been away from the capital for a month, and there are a lot of things he needs to deal with here. He also cannot ignore his children and his parents-in-law.
So Wang Xun asked Gao Mingcheng to take his time to look at it while he went on to do something else.
After he left, Gao Mingcheng felt more at ease and could spend half a day reading a book.
Although he did not have a high level of education and could not understand some purely knowledge-based things, he enjoyed reading the notes written by unknown people.
Gao Mingcheng stayed in Wang Xun's warehouse for two days. During this time, he actually found some valuable items and told Wang Xun about them.
One of the unsigned notebooks was most likely written by a well-known person during the Republic of China period. Gao Mingcheng could not fully confirm this, but after he proposed it, Wang Xun could confirm it through his own connections. If confirmed, then the value of this notebook received at the scrap price would skyrocket!
During the two days that Gao Mingcheng stayed here, Deng Wanwan's parents had already adapted to the life here. Deng's mother naturally took care of the laundry and cooking, and Deng Zhiyong could also stay at the scrap station to work.
If Wang Xun was doing a high-end job, Deng Zhiyong, who came from a country background, would find it difficult to adapt. But as for the job of collecting waste, Deng Zhiyong was able to get the hang of it after learning for two days!
Others disliked the waste because it was dirty, but Deng Zhiyong didn't! He sorted the waste he received one by one according to Wang Xun's requirements. When there was a lot of waste, Wang Xun would call a car to take it away and sell it.
The two old people had things to do here, so the children were naturally arranged as well. Wang Xun had already made arrangements with a nearby primary school in advance to enroll his children there. For this, he even paid the school a tuition fee.
Early that morning, after Gao Mingcheng had eaten and drunk his fill, he was ready to leave.
Deng Wanwan was reluctant to let Gao Mingcheng go, but she did not force him to stay. She just told him that if Gao Mingcheng had time in the future, he could come here to play.
Before Gao Mingcheng could say anything, Wang Xun smiled first and said, "Mingcheng is just going to do his own thing first. After he finishes his business, he wants to go to Panjiayuan and the Ghost Market with me. Now that we are in the capital, we must go to the Great Wall, the Forbidden City, the Summer Palace and other famous scenic spots!"
It's not easy to go out. Now that you are in the capital, you naturally have to visit some places you should visit.
In addition, you should also take photos if necessary. These photos will be rare memories and commemorations in the future.
This time when he came to the capital, Gao Mingcheng did not bring his own camera, because Wang Xun had a camera, so when he went out to play, he could just use Wang Xun's camera.
In addition, there are people in scenic spots who specialize in taking photos. As long as you spend some money, you can have your photo taken, but it will be a bit troublesome to take the photo.
Gao Mingcheng did have to return here, so the clothes he had taken off after taking a shower were still hanging here to dry and were not packed up to take away.
After leaving Wang Xun's scrap yard, Gao Mingcheng followed the address given by Fan Licheng, took several buses, and finally arrived at the small villa in the afternoon.
Today's HD area is still a rural area.
But Gao Mingcheng didn't mind the remoteness of this place at all. Instead, he was particularly happy to see the vegetable fields cultivated by people nearby.
He did not come here alone. He had made a phone call long before coming here, so when he arrived at the small villa, there was already a middle-aged man waiting there.
Sai Yanfei was a man of great courage and had plenty of money. After bringing Fan Licheng here to look at houses, he not only bought three houses, but also opened a trading company here.
The person who came over at this time was a manager of this trading company. As long as Gao Mingcheng was satisfied with the house and was willing to buy it, he only needed to hand over the money to the manager, and the manager would immediately help Gao Mingcheng get the real estate certificate.
"Mr. Gao, I have the key with me. Let's go in and take a look now." The manager who claimed to be surnamed Wang said with a smile.
Gao Mingcheng was not in a hurry to go into the house to see, but instead prepared to take a look at the situation outside first.
So Manager Wang accompanied Gao Mingcheng around the small western-style building and introduced the owner of the house to Gao Mingcheng.
This small western-style building has a history of more than ten years, but it is well preserved. It is an imitation of Western-style architecture with only two and a half floors. The top half floor is an attic, which can be reached by stairs. The attic can be used to store sundries or for living, but the space is a bit small.
The owner of the house was a professor at a nearby university. He sold this small house in order to study abroad.
A small flower bed has been opened around the house, where some common flowers are planted. However, it is winter now, and the leaves of the flowers have long fallen off, leaving only bare branches.
But if you look closely, you will find that some branches already have small bumps, which are the newly sprouted leaves and flower buds.
As soon as the weather gets warmer, they will bloom with amazing vitality.
After looking around the house, Gao Mingcheng asked Manager Wang to open the door.
As soon as he entered, he saw a spacious living room. Gao Mingcheng was quite surprised to see that most of the furniture inside was there. He looked at the rooms one by one, and went to the second floor and the attic.
The exterior of this house is okay, because it is an imitation of Western-style architecture and it does not look outdated even now, but the furnishings inside are somewhat outdated.
However, Gao Mingcheng is not in a hurry to renovate the house because he will not live here in the short term.
"Mr. Gao, you have seen the house. What do you think of it?" Manager Wang asked with a smile.
Gao Mingcheng nodded in satisfaction and said, "Very good. But Manager Wang, do you have the key to the building next door? I want to go over there and take a look."
The building next door was bought by Sai Yanfei for Fan Licheng. If he and Fan Licheng live here in the future, they will be neighbors.
Of course, in addition to owning this small building, Fan Licheng also owns a courtyard house!
Manager Wang smiled and said, "I brought the key with me. Mr. Gao, let's go over there and take a look!"
So Gao Mingcheng followed Manager Wang to visit the house that belonged to Fan Licheng.
Compared to his house, Fan Licheng's house was larger and the flower garden was better maintained. Apart from that, there were not many differences. Both houses needed some changes and renovations before people could move in.
Gao Mingcheng asked: "Will you keep this house empty forever, or will you rent it out temporarily?"
Manager Wang said, "It has been empty all the time. The boss asked us to hire someone to clean it every six months."
This house will still be dirty even if no one lives in it, and the dust in the air will settle down little by little.
Cleaning is done once every six months, which is not very frequent, but it is enough. After all, no one lives there, so just keep it relatively clean and tidy.
Gao Mingcheng thought about it for a while, and then said, "I don't plan to rent out my house, and I'll clean it every six months. I'll trouble you to arrange someone to do it, and I'll pay you the cleaning fee separately."
Manager Wang knew that Mr. Gao had a close relationship with his boss, so he agreed immediately.
Since I have to hire a cleaner to do the work anyway, it wouldn’t hurt for her to do a little more.
Gao Mingcheng was very satisfied with the house, so he followed Manager Wang to pay the money and get the certificate.
Fortunately, Manager Wang came by car, and it was an imported car, which made Gao Mingcheng take a few more glances. You know, cars are extremely expensive nowadays!
The price of an imported car can buy a house in the capital!
Upon seeing this, Manager Wang explained that this was the company's car and that he personally could not afford such an expensive car.
As a foreign trade company, we naturally need a high-end car.
Manager Wang has connections here, so Gao Mingcheng doesn't need to do anything. After paying the money, all he has to do is wait for the certificate to be issued.
As for this money, it does not have to be paid into Sai Yanfei's account. It can be directly given to the foreign trade company, which is much more convenient.
Just after Gao Mingcheng's property certificate was processed, the staff was preparing to go off work. When Gao Mingcheng walked out of the door, he saw that it was getting dark outside.
After saying goodbye to Manager Wang, Gao Mingcheng stood on the street and looked around, preparing to find a restaurant nearby to eat before returning to the small Western-style building.
Standing in front of the door of the small western-style building at this time, Gao Mingcheng was quite excited. He used the key he had just obtained in his hand and slowly opened the door.
He had seen this house before, but when he saw it again this time, he felt completely different.
He, Gao Mingcheng, has a house in the capital!
Since the previous owner sold the house to study abroad and most likely would not come back, the large furniture that was difficult to move and some bedding were still left here.
When Gao Mingcheng checked the room before, he found clean bedding and even some clothes of the original owner in the bedroom closet.
These beddings and clothes can actually be sold for money. Some people may dislike things that have been used by others, but for those who don’t have much money, being able to buy suitable daily necessities at a low price is a very good thing.
As for the bedding used by others...even if Gao Mingcheng stayed in a hotel, then wouldn't the bedding in the hotel have been used by anyone?
In his previous life, Gao Mingcheng had hidden in a narrow and dirty cabin and slept on the streets in order to sneak into Hong Kong, so he didn't care much about these things.
What’s even better is that Manager Wang and his team had already cleaned both houses before the New Year!
Before Gao Mingcheng bought it, the house belonged to Fan Licheng, so Manager Wang naturally had to hire someone to clean it.
That's why Gao Mingcheng decided to stay here for a few days.
There is electricity and water here, and the toilets are also functional, so it is completely suitable for living here.
Instead of spending money on a hotel, why not live in your own house?
Next, he planned to clean up the remaining things in the house. The old bedding could be kept, but he had to buy a new set of quilt covers.
As for those old clothes, there is no need to keep them, but it is also troublesome to sell them for money. It is better to clean them up and put them in a clean and spacious place to see if anyone needs them.
In addition to these things, there were some old books and discarded manuscripts in the room. He picked and chose and decided to keep some of them.
While I was cleaning up, the lights suddenly flickered. It turned out that the light bulb was about to break.
This house has been uninhabited for almost a year, so it is normal for the light bulb to break. He simply gave up cleaning it up and decided to buy a new light bulb tomorrow.
For the next two days, Gao Mingcheng lived in this building and slowly got to know the surrounding environment.
It is not far from the famous universities, and it only takes about ten minutes to walk. After the development, this place will become very valuable!
After living here for two days, Gao Mingcheng threw away all the unnecessary things, bought the quilt covers and light bulbs he needed, then closed the door and prepared to leave.
Because Manager Wang was needed to help hire someone to clean the house, he had a spare key.
When you think of what you want to do with this house in the future, you can take the key back or change the lock.
Gao Mingcheng returned to Wang Xun's scrap station again. When he went there, Wang Xun and Deng Wanwan were not at home. They said they had gone out to collect scrap.
As for the two children, they also went to new schools.
Deng Zhiyong and his mother were both here. His mother was responsible for washing clothes and cooking, but she didn't feel very tired. In her opinion, anything that didn't require working in the fields was not a big deal!
Besides, there are rice cookers, pressure cookers and washing machines here, so it’s not tiring for her to work.
So when she is not cooking, she also helps sort out the waste at the waste station.
Seeing Gao Mingcheng coming, the two of them immediately invited him in to sit down. Deng's mother immediately poured him a cup of tea and said, "Mingcheng, the clothes you changed out of earlier are now dry. I've put them in your room for you."
"Auntie, thank you!" Gao Mingcheng said with a smile.
Then Deng Zhiyong and others asked how Gao Mingcheng's matter was going.
Upon learning that Gao Mingcheng bought a small villa in the capital, the two immediately congratulated Gao Mingcheng. In their opinion, Gao Mingcheng was a capable person, and it was a very normal thing for him to be able to buy a house in the capital.
Of course, they were new here and didn’t know anything. When they understood more, they would realize that it was not an easy task for Gao Mingcheng to get the real estate certificate in such a short time!
Deng Zhiyong and his wife are old and have a strong accent. They cannot understand what others say except their family members, and others cannot understand what they say, so they feel somewhat lonely. Naturally, they welcome Gao Mingcheng's arrival very much.
It was not until the evening that Wang Xun and Deng Wanwan came back from outside.
Unlike when they went home for the New Year, they were dressed simply this time and looked ordinary in the crowd.
This is normal. When going back to hometown for the New Year, even those who are not doing well outside will dress nicely. Although Wang Xun and his colleagues are doing well, they work in the waste collection business, so they are destined not to dress nicely when working.
After all, who would wear a fashionable dress and lambskin high heels to collect waste?
