After some "friendly" wrangling, Shen Anning finally won the two courtyards for 90,000 yuan.
After checking the gift certificate and the title deed, Shen Anning looked at Liu Chenggong, who looked heartbroken at the huge loss, and comforted him: "Mr. Liu, only when you are content can you be happy. Ninety thousand yuan is a lot for you to take a commission. If you want to sell a courtyard full of people at a high price, it will take a long time. Money, you always have to hold it in your own hands, so you can feel at ease, right?"
Liu Chenggong thought about it and realized that ninety thousand, and half of it was nine thousand divided by two - four thousand and five! To him, this was truly an astronomical figure. It seemed like he had found a way to make a fortune.
Apart from the 4,500 yuan given to Liu Chenggong, the remaining money was transferred to an account in Guangdong through the bank. After coming out of the bank, Shen Anning looked at Liu Chenggong and said, "Mr. Liu, the money and goods have been paid. Goodbye."
"Hey, if there is a yard like this next time, will you buy it?" For some reason, although Shen Anning and Peng Zhe looked very young, Liu Chenggong felt that these two people might be his benefactors. He had been in the city for so many years and was almost forty years old, but he had never earned more than four thousand five hundred. A voice in his heart told him that these two people could definitely still afford to buy a house.
When Shen Anning heard this, he raised his eyebrows. He was a smart man. "Mr. Liu, as long as the property rights are clear and the yard is in a good location, we will consider it. However, the commission can only be paid by the seller. I hope you can understand this."
Liu Chenggong waved his hand and said, "You're right. What we're afraid of nowadays isn't that there are no houses to sell, but that there are houses but no one to buy them. Hey, Miss Chen, could you please leave your contact information? If I find a house, I can contact you when the time comes."
Shen Anning wrote down the home phone number for him, and Liu Chenggong became more determined in his thoughts. If a family can afford to install a telephone, they must be rich!
Well, he's almost there too!
Peng Zhe originally thought that he had been running a private restaurant for more than half a year and was already considered wealthy. Unexpectedly, he could hardly afford to buy two courtyards, and felt a little frustrated.
"Sister, shall we continue to look at the yard?"
"Look, let's go see the big ones first, the ones with two or three entrances."
Peng Zhe exclaimed, among the courtyard houses that he knew were for sale, there were at least three with two courtyards and one with three courtyards. If he wanted all of them, how much would they cost? Could the cram school make that much money?
Shen Anning knocked on his head and said, "What are you thinking about? Don't worry, I didn't steal or rob. You studied economics, so you know the recent major international events, gold."
Peng Zhe immediately understood the problems involved: the Iran war, the adjustment of the Federal Reserve's monetary policy, and the rapid growth of gold prices, which are expected to rise even more in the future.
"Sister, it's not very useful to have gold now. It's not worth it. The price of gold will go up."
Chen An Ning rolled her eyes. "Who said we spent gold? I meant you buy gold and keep it for appreciation. As for the money to buy the yard, don't worry. I have plenty. I'm just worried that you will be burdened. You can borrow my money to buy gold and the yard first. When the gold appreciates in value in the future, you can sell it and pay me back. This way, it's just advance consumption."
In another three or four months, gold will reach a peak of more than 800 US dollars per cup, which is four times the price at the beginning of 1979. In his previous life, Shen Anning also heard many people talk about this. Those who robbed other people's homes of gold during the turmoil made a fortune in the early 1980s.
In the afternoon, I looked at two more courtyards, one with three courtyards and the other with two. The owners were in a hurry to sell. The one with three courtyards was priced at 100,000 yuan and the one with two courtyards was priced at 48,000 yuan. These two courtyards were much better than the two I saw in the morning because the bricks in the courtyards were not ordinary. Although they were not as good as those in Zijing City, they were also expensive.
After spending another 140,000 yuan, he got two courtyards. Peng Zhe was already numb. After following his sister for a day, he knew what it meant to spend money like water. Four courtyards for 230,000 yuan, this number was no joke.
What he didn't know was that in the early 20th century, courtyard houses were already worth over 10 million yuan, and some were even worth hundreds of millions. The reason why Shen Anning was so confident in buying and looking at houses, and even planned to lend money to Peng Zhe to buy gold, was because the Cao family's grandparents and Cao Jingheng gave her too much money, which she could not spend, no matter how hard she tried.
Before the two of them confirmed their relationship, Cao Jingheng had already given her the salary, allowances and bonuses he had saved for many years. After they got engaged, he even took her to see the betrothal gifts.
Thinking of the scene she saw at that time, Shen An Ning could no longer describe it as shocking. The entire basement was filled with boxes, twelve of which were filled with money. There were twelve boxes of Great Unity, and each box had three hundred stacks, a total of three hundred thousand. Twelve boxes meant three million and six hundred thousand.
Cao Jingheng asked her to put it away at that time. This money was from the year when the Great Unity was just issued. Grandpa Cao exchanged it through various channels. It must be said that the old ones are still the best. At that time, Grandpa Cao felt that the storm was coming. Before the fire burned him, he openly and secretly exchanged all the circulating funds in the family for the Great Unity, wrapped them in oil paper, packed them in camphor wood boxes and put them in the basement.
So all this money is now in Shen An Ning's hands. She opened several passbooks with the help of Youtou from the cram school and went to various banks in Beijing. In more than half a year, she only deposited about one million yuan, and the rest is still with her.
"Anyway, Xiaozhe, don't worry about the money. After dinner, remember to make an appointment with the homeowner who's going to be looking at the house tomorrow. Let's hurry up and buy the yard in the next two days. The tenants there are our biggest challenge."
After looking at houses for another two days, Shen An Ning bought four more two-courtyard houses and a three-courtyard house with two additional small cross-courtyards, spending 280,000 yuan. He also helped Peng Zhe buy three one-courtyard houses, spending 70,000 yuan.
The houses are temporarily out of stock, and all the houses that can be bought have been bought. The next thing to do will be difficult.
Cao Jingheng became anxious when he knew that she was going to take Peng Zhe to negotiate with the tenants!
"No, An Ning, how can I be at ease if you only take Peng Zhe with you? Tell me the address of the courtyard and I'll call the street office over there and ask them to accompany you. Oh, forget it, I'll take two days off and bring a few comrades with you..."
Looking at the man who was already pacing back and forth in the room, Shen Anning could only go forward and hug him first, "Don't be anxious, you haven't even heard my plan yet, and you're already anxious. This time I will make everyone move out without any effort. Of course, this fortune will definitely cost a little more."
"It's okay to spend a little more money. The main thing is that there are too many people in the slums and the situation is very complicated. The police officers in our police station always complain bitterly when they handle cases in the slums. If so many people really start fighting, Peng Zhe will be killed."
