In the next few days, Xia Yu overturned his previous work and started collecting intelligence again, mainly targeting those single-family buildings in good locations.
Compared with the shops on the first floor of various old office buildings facing the street in the business district, the stand-alone shops are obviously much more imposing, which is very consistent with Xia Yu's temperament.
The only downside is that they are a bit expensive.
The lowest daily rent per square meter is more than ten yuan, and some even soar to nearly twenty yuan. Xia Yu cannot afford such a price and can only watch with envy.
"Lao He, are you free this weekend? Could you please accompany me on this trip again?"
Xia Yu called He Jiawen again. He was the most suitable person to accompany him to look at houses. If he asked Dafei and the others, they would probably not be able to offer any constructive suggestions except shouting "666".
Lu Zhou is also a good candidate, but Xia Yu and He Jiawen are more familiar with him.
"Okay, call me then."
He Jiawen agreed on the phone. Although he was now forced to work by the old man, their company did not have a 996 schedule, so he would definitely have time on weekends.
After hanging up the phone, Xia Yu put down the documents in his hand and prepared to have breakfast.
Today is Wednesday, another day full of classes. I need to eat well so that I can have the strength to fight.
Recently, some health experts have said that pickled vegetable porridge has no nutritional value. Xia Yu also strongly agrees that carbohydrates and sugars do not provide much nutrition other than energy.
Aren’t century egg and lean meat porridge or abalone and seafood porridge delicious?
Single men have to be nicer to themselves, so Xia Yu cooked a whole pot of abalone and seafood porridge.
Xia Yu also eats milk and eggs, but seafood porridge is the staple food, and these are just side dishes.
Drinking the hot porridge and chewing the chopped abalone, Xia Yu opened the system and signed in as usual.
“Sign in!”
"Ding, your card with the last digit 0607 received a 50,000 yuan payment from ICBC at 7:08 on May 27th, with a balance of 122,178.18 yuan. [ICBC]"
This message was not wrong. Currently, Xia Yu only had about 100,000 yuan in his card for emergencies, and the rest of the money was invested in Bitcoin, so he didn't have much cash. But after this message was displayed, a new message popped up.
"Ding, you've signed in for eighty-one consecutive days. Congratulations! You've received a sign-in bonus pack x1."
Xia Yu had unknowingly signed in for eighty-one days and finally received his seventh consecutive signing gift package. He didn't know what he would get this time.
Out of curiosity, Xia Yu opened the gift package.
[Reward: 1 456-square-meter old house along the Bund's Shiliupu Street (Cashable)]
“Hiss~~”
Xia Yu couldn't help but take a breath.
He was planning to rent an old villa, but he didn't expect the system to send it to him directly. This is the rhythm of the tenant becoming the landlord!
“Withdraw!”
There was no time to eat breakfast now, Xia Yu pressed the withdrawal button with trembling hands.
"Swish~~"
"Hua La La~~"
A thick document bag and a bunch of keys appeared out of thin air. Xia Yu felt they were heavy in his hands, much heavier than the bare property certificate of his new home.
Putting the key on the table, Xia Yu opened the file bag and poured out everything inside.
These include real estate ownership certificates, house purchase and sale contracts, and documents requiring protection of outstanding historical buildings.
The old houses in Shanghai are basically historical protected buildings, and they can only be bought and sold if the property rights are clear. The system rewarded him with one of them, and the location is unbeatable.
Xia Yu searched on the map specifically and found that Shop 16 on the Bund happened to be across the river from the Arc de Triomphe. He might be able to see this old building from the last century with his naked eyes from upstairs.
But isn’t 400 square meters a bit too big?
He originally planned to open a small restaurant of only 200 square meters, but because he wanted to rent a detached shop, he adjusted it to 300 square meters. Unexpectedly, he now had to add more than 100 square meters. This is forcing him to expand his business!
Thinking of this, Xia Yu opened the house purchase and sale contract. He was a little concerned about how much this old villa would cost.
"Thirty-five million?"
So cheap?
Xia Yu couldn't believe it when he saw this number, but that was the fact.
Depending on the location and degree of renovation, the market price of an old villa is 50,000 to 60,000 yuan per square meter. Only those with a large area and a large garden can be sold for more than 100,000 yuan.
Xia Yu's house can be sold at a price of nearly 77,000 per square meter, which is considered to be above average. However, everything is rising in price these days, including housing prices. Even though it is 77,000 now, it may be 177,000 or 277,000 in a few years!
Of course, since the system rewards cannot be bought or sold, even if the price rises to 770,000 per square meter, it has nothing to do with Xia Yu.
Because it is located on the street and has no garden, this old house is more suitable for commercial use. It should be no problem to open a restaurant there. The only problem is that the area is too large, so a lot of additional investment will be required.
Fortunately, the house is mine, and the money I originally planned to spend on renting can be saved and used for decoration. However, I can only tell you the details after I see the house in person.
Xia Yu, who couldn't wait any longer, shouted in the dormitory group, asking Dafei and others to help him ask for leave, as he planned to go into the city right away.
After doing all this, Xia Yu called He Jiawen again.
"Hey, what's going on?"
He Jiawen felt a little surprised after receiving two calls from Xia Yu in the morning.
"Um, Lao He, are you free now?"
"I'm free, if you have something to say, just tell me!"
He Jiawen heard the hesitation in Xia Yu's tone.
"The family told me they had an old house on the Bund and asked me not to rent anywhere else."
"Fuck, what kind of family do you have?"
Hearing Xia Yu say this, He Jiawen couldn't help but speak sweetly.
After busying around for a long time and still not finding a suitable house, it turns out that someone has this one hidden in their home. Anyone would be excited.
"Don't get excited, Lao He. I just found out about this, too. I haven't even seen the house once. I called you right after I got the keys. Shall we go check it out together this morning?"
"Okay, let's meet there directly at nine o'clock!"
After making a new agreement, the two hung up the phone, and Xia Yu felt relieved.
If you have a suitable house, you don’t need to look for one all over the world. More importantly, you can save the annual rental costs, and it will become easier to make a profit.
After breakfast, Xia Yu returned to the study and stuffed the documents he had prepared into the shredder one by one. He couldn't help but sigh that renting was indeed not suitable for the identity of a wealthy person. Only by buying it directly could he show his rich character.
Taking the keys and briefcase, Xia Yu went downstairs, got into the car, and drove towards the city.
After arriving in the city for more than an hour, he went back home first.
Only after putting the property certificate and other items in the document bag into the safe did Xia Yu feel relieved.
He glanced at his watch and found it was almost nine o'clock, so he went downstairs to meet up with He Jiawen and cross the river together.
