Back in the 1990s alone, it might have sold for over 2 million.
Therefore, buy it and make a huge profit.
But no matter what you think in your heart, you have to put on an act on the surface.
Gu Wei said with some difficulty, "This is indeed too much money. Even if I wanted to buy it, I couldn't afford it unless I borrowed money from my friends. Grandpa Shen, do you think it could be any less?"
Not only were Hou Yongxian and Ke Yi staring intently at Gu Wei, but Shen Tongyi was also shocked. Even if they didn't have that many, being able to gather enough from friends was no small feat.
It took him a while to find his voice. "It should be less. That person was in a hurry to sell the house and leave the country. He doesn't plan to come back."
Gu Wei now understood. "Grandpa Chen, then I'll have to trouble you to help me out. I'll see when I have time to go and take a look."
Shen Tongyi readily agreed.
When she looked at Gu Wei again, there was something more in her eyes.
Hou Yongxian and Ke Yi also gained a new understanding of Gu Wei's abilities.
Gu Wei invited them to dinner at the Grand Hotel in Beijing.
The meal was a success, and everyone enjoyed themselves.
At the end, Shen Tongyi, who had drunk quite a bit, even patted his chest and assured Gu Wei that he would take them to see a courtyard house within a day or two.
Gu Wei naturally couldn't wait for this matter to proceed as soon as possible.
Then, he can make his next move.
The four people parted ways at the restaurant entrance.
After Shen Tongyi left, Hou Yongxian couldn't help but say earnestly, "Gu Wei, this courtyard house is really too big and too expensive. And we just got back recently. What if things change later? Your hundreds of thousands of yuan will be wasted..."
This is hundreds of thousands of yuan, not a small amount. Even though Gu Wei has many ways to make money, he still needs to act within his means.
Ke Yi also looked worried. "Brother Gu, what the Marquis said makes sense. This is a lot of money, so we must be careful."
Gu Wei understood that they were genuinely concerned for his well-being when they said those words, fearing that their efforts would ultimately be in vain.
After all, people without a solid foundation are like duckweed, easily swayed by the slightest breeze or wave.
At the same time, they were also frightened by some of their own experiences.
As the saying goes, once bitten by a snake, twice shy.
If he hadn't traveled from decades in the future, he wouldn't have dared to casually take out this money, even if he had it.
"Grandpa Hou, thank you for thinking of me, I am very grateful. However, I haven't even seen this courtyard house yet, so it's really uncertain whether I will buy it in the end. Besides, even if I do buy it, it won't be a matter of a day or two, I still need to borrow money from my friends."
"That's true, let's wait and see."
Hou Yongxian sighed inwardly. At his age, he could still tell that Gu Wei was determined to buy it.
This young man is really audacious, he doesn't seem to care about money at all.
Ke Yi also understood that Gu Wei was a very opinionated person who did not easily listen to the advice of others, so he kept quiet.
Shen Tongyi is very efficient.
The next day, he took Gu Wei and the others to see the courtyard house.
Once it was confirmed that the courtyard house was located within the Second Ring Road, Gu Wei's desire to buy it became even stronger.
This is a very well-organized two-courtyard siheyuan (traditional courtyard house).
However, due to various reasons, many places are dilapidated and repairs will cost money.
The homeowner was a rather thin and listless old man.
It is said that his wife and the elders in his family have all passed away one after another.
He went abroad to be with his children overseas.
Gu Wei toured the courtyard house from top to bottom, and then everyone sat down to discuss the price.
After repeated negotiations, the old man finally agreed to sell the courtyard house for 310,000 yuan, and some of the old furniture inside would remain with him.
Gu Wei appeared outwardly normal, but inwardly he was overjoyed.
Those antique furniture pieces made of huanghuali wood and other precious woods are extremely valuable.
Hou Yongxian and Shen Tongyi were both in the antique business, so they naturally knew the intricacies involved...
