It was the time to get off work, and there were many people coming and going nearby. Xu Jiaguo was afraid that something might happen, so he smiled dryly and said to Lu Zhiye and the others, "May I have a word with you?"
"certainly!"
Several people returned to this small courtyard again, but their mood was very different from before.
Su Yang took out four bottles of Beibingyang from his room: "I heard that you young people like to drink this. This is what I bought before."
It's summer now, and it's really refreshing to have a bottle of Arctic Ocean that has been chilled in the well.
Lu Zhiye opened the Arctic Ocean and handed it to Wen Sihe. He turned his head to look at the two of them and asked in confusion, "I wonder why you two called us here...?"
Su Yang said straight to the point: “I heard from Jiaguo before that you wanted to buy a yard.
How about my small courtyard? It is the second courtyard we are talking about now.
Although it is not as big as the yard of my home, the location is also good and there is no other clutter.
I wonder if you would consider it?"
Lu Zhiye and Wen Sihe looked at each other. They didn't expect that there would be an unexpected surprise.
Xu Jiaguo at the side also said: "I have also figured it out, and I am ready to sell my yard to you at the price we agreed on before.
Now our two yards are here, it depends on which one you want to buy......"
The two of them became competitors, and their previous friendly expressions changed. They both looked at Lu Zhiye in front of them with some nervousness.
Lu Zhiye opened the door and walked around the two-story courtyard.
Seeing him like this, Xu Jiaguo's heart sank.
Could it be that he really plans to buy a small yard?
If that's the case, then his chances of winning are slim.
When Lu Zhiye came back, he had a satisfied smile on his face.
This made Su Yang feel relieved, and he quickly asked, "Comrade, what do you think?"
Lu Zhiye nodded slightly: "The geographical location of the courtyard is also good, and the facilities in the courtyard are well preserved. It is indeed a good choice.
I wonder what price you quoted? "
Su Yang had a look of complacency on his face: "That's right. After I came back, I renovated the courtyard according to my memory."
Su Yang was a little nervous. After thinking about it again and again, he said, "Do you think a dollar is okay?"
To be honest, this price is neither high nor low.
But compared to Xu Jiaguo’s house, it doesn’t have much advantage.
Lu Zhiye looked at Su Yang with interest: "Comrade Su, isn't this price a bit too high?
After all, Comrade Xu's house only sold for yuan.
His house has three courtyards and its location is better than yours.
The difference is only 2,000 yuan, and the floor space will be much smaller.
So it’s not worthwhile to buy yours…”
The prices they mentioned were based on the house that was previously sold for around 40,000 yuan.
Based on this, two prices were hastily quoted.
In fact, Lu Zhiye had also inquired about the black market here before, and the price here is generally around 50,000 yuan.
Su Yang and Xu Jiaguo must have listened to the offer made by the person who sold the house before.
When Xu Jiaguo heard what he said, he was delighted. It seemed that the people in his house were no threat to these two people.
Su Yang on the side was even more surprised. He didn't expect that the price Xu Jiaguo quoted was so low.
After thinking for a moment, he said, "What do you think the price should be?"
Lu Zhiye directly cut down 2,000 yuan: "If you are willing, we will go to handle the procedures tomorrow.
You should have heard from Comrade Xu that I still have some yellow croakers in my hands, and if you need them, you can exchange them for them."
Su Yang felt a little reluctant, as this was 2,000 yuan.
Many working class families may not be able to save so much money after deducting the cost of food and drink.
Their family used to have considerable assets, and they would buy and sell such things without blinking an eye. But after they were sent down to the countryside, they got used to the hard life and became frugal.
A trace of sadness flashed across Xu Jiaguo's eyes. It seemed that he would have to wait for his house again.
But he is a broad-minded person and he really wants to make his good friend happy.
He pulled Su Yang aside and said, “If you want big yellow croaker, you can take it with you when you go out.
Their identities are now clear. Although the price is lower when doing business with them, it is safer.
If you trade with those people in the black market, you might get beaten up and have everything robbed from you as soon as you leave the black market."
Su Yang also understood this truth. Thinking of his partner who was far away in another country, he gritted his teeth and said, "Deal! But I want all the transactions to be in the form of large and small yellow croakers."
The current price for a large yellow croaker is ten taels, and for a small yellow croaker it is five taels.
One liang is 31.25 grams, and for a large yellow croaker, that is 312.5 grams.
When Lu Zhiye quoted the price, he had already calculated how many yellow croakers he should give.
"The current gold price is 30 yuan per gram, and the price of a large yellow croaker is 9,375 yuan.
I'll give you three big yellow croakers and one small yellow croaker.
The remaining 1187.5 yuan will all be converted into cash for you.
Let's make it a round number and give you 1,188 yuan.
I also wish Comrade Su will be able to thrive abroad and realize his ideals and ambitions.”
Who doesn’t like to hear auspicious words?
The reluctance in Su Yang's heart gradually dissipated.
He nodded with great satisfaction and said, “That’s what we’ve decided.
Let's draft another contract privately, wait until tomorrow, no, wait until the day after tomorrow.
I'll take you to the Housing Authority and register properly."
During these two days, he happened to go to the Housing Authority to take care of things.
Thinking of one thing, Su Yang said a little embarrassedly: “The families living in this yard are all quite reasonable.
They are all my old friends, could you please give them a few days to find a house?"
Lu Zhiye nodded: "Of course, let's give him a month's deadline."
Su Yang was overjoyed and said quickly, "Thank you on their behalf."
Su Yang was originally preparing to see Lu Zhiye and the others off, but when he turned around and saw that Lu Zhiye had no intention of leaving, he tactfully stepped out of Xu Jiaguo's house.
And he closed the door...
Xu Jiaguo's eyes were filled with gloom. Having missed these two people, he didn't know what kind of buyers he would be able to find in the future.
Although I need money, that house is where I grew up, so I still hope it can fall into the hands of a good buyer.
Lu Zhiye took a sip of water, looked at the depressed Xu Jiaguo, and took the opportunity to say, "Comrade Xu, even if the deal doesn't work out, we still have friendship.
Today, this house is also due to your introduction. My husband and I would like to thank you for this.”
Xu Jiaguo forced a smile and said, "Buying a house is all about fate. It can be said that you and this house are destined to be together."
He looked calm and composed, but God knows his heart was bleeding...
