In the past two years, following Zhong Yuxiu, I have never had to worry about food and drink, and I have never had to spend money. Whenever there is something happening at home, I ask Yan Rushan to help buy something, and Yan Rushan always gives me a fair price, without making any money.
In this way, they saved more in two years than in the previous years, which led to their large savings.
"Four or five rooms, plus a bathroom, kitchen, and utility room, that's seven or eight. In that case, the best option is a small courtyard house. I'll ask around for you." Yan Rushan calmly analyzed the house type and then reassured him, "Don't worry, there are plenty of these types within the Third Ring Road. They're not as expensive as the courtyard house Yuxiu bought. Five thousand yuan is more than enough."
Zhong Yuxiu agreed. She bought her siheyuan over a year ago, when housing prices were not as high as they are now. A two-story siheyuan cost around 7,000 to 8,000 yuan, a three-story siheyuan over 9,000 yuan, and a four-story siheyuan 12,000 yuan. Even if prices have increased now, a one-story siheyuan would cost at most 5,000 to 6,000 yuan, and through negotiation, you might be able to get one for just over 4,000 yuan.
The matter was settled, and two days later, Yan Rushan brought back the news; the houses were available, with six courtyard houses for sale, two with one entrance, three with three entrances, one with two entrances and one with four entrances, as well as several bungalows in good locations.
There are two units, one in the west of the city and the other in the north. The one in the west of the city is priced at 5,500 yuan and the one in the north of the city is priced at 6,300 yuan.
There are three sets of three entrances, two in the north of the city and one in the south. The two sets in the north of the city are priced at 12,000 and 13,000 respectively, and the one in the south of the city is priced at 9,600.
The two-story apartment is in the west of the city and is priced at 7,800 yuan; the four-story apartment is in the first ring road, with a very good location, close to the Forbidden City, and is priced at 28,000 yuan.
The old man calculated silently and decided that if he wanted to give the houses to several great-grandchildren, he could only buy a two-story house; a three-story house would also be fine, but it would be more expensive. Buying all three would cost 34,000 yuan, and then buy two three-story houses for Xiaohai. The 50,000 yuan she had would not be enough to buy the land.
Of course, you can buy a house with two courtyards or a house with three courtyards; you can still buy a courtyard house now, but it may not be the case in the future.
After thinking about it, the old man made a decision, "I want all three three-story houses. You can negotiate the price and keep them for my third son and great-grandson. Whether Yuxiu gives birth to a great-grandson or a great-granddaughter, these three three-story houses will belong to the three of them."
"If I can get two more three-story houses, I'll have some for Xiaohai. Whether he has one or two children in the future, he'll have enough." The old man paused and said, "If I do that, I won't have much money left. I'll have to put the land issue aside for now."
"Grandpa, you don't have to buy anything for my three children. I've prepared everything for them." She couldn't bring herself to drain the old man's savings with a few houses. "Whether you send gifts or not, my three children are your great-grandchildren. If they dare not call you, I will be the first to not let them go."
Beat, spank.
Old Master Yan waved his hand. "It's a gift from me, so you parents should keep it. You're not short-sighted. You should know that while tube-shaped buildings are more popular now, what about ten or twenty years from now? Who wouldn't want to live in a more spacious place? Siheyuans will definitely be in great demand. Buying one now will be a great deal."
The old man is open-minded and quick-witted. There is a reason why he has been in a high position for many years.
"Okay, I'll thank you on behalf of the three children. I won't say much about the rest. If they dare to disobey you, I, as their mother, will definitely punish them."
Before her child was even born, her great-grandfather was already thinking about arranging a house for her, and he was willing to spend all his savings for it. Even she was moved by the old man's kindness, because he estimated that the price would drop in ten or twenty years. In this way, her three children would all own houses when they grew up, and the houses would be in excellent locations and at excellent prices.
"Okay, okay, I'm looking forward to my three great-grandchildren." Grandpa Yan was beaming with joy. He was excited that he would be able to see his three great-grandchildren in a few months.
Yan Rushan took out paper and pen and allocated three sets of three-in-one courtyard houses to Mr. Yan; then he looked at Haonan and Tian Shangguo.
"Comrade Hao, Comrade Tian, what about you?"
"How many rooms are there once you enter?" This is what Tian Shangguo is most concerned about.
Yan Rushan smiled and said, "Both sets have seven or eight rooms, plus the kitchen, bathroom, utility room and side rooms, there are more than a dozen rooms."
"Then I want the one at the west end of the city. The location is better, but I don't have enough money." Tian Shangguo said very honestly. If he didn't have enough money, he would buy another one.
"Money isn't a problem. You need to get paid every month, so I can lend it to you first. Also, the current price is open to negotiation, but it should be cheaper after negotiation."
Tian Shangguo said: "Then take a look at both sets and buy whichever one suits you best."
"Okay, let's go look at the house tomorrow." Yan Rushan smiled and turned his gaze. "Comrade Haonan, how about you?"
“How much is the bungalow?”
Previously, only the prices of courtyard houses were introduced, but not those of bungalows.
Yan Rushan said, "The price of the bungalow is not very expensive. The larger one is a little over 3,000 yuan, and the smaller one is only a little over 1,000 yuan. After bargaining, it can be reduced. You can consider it."
"Can I see the house tomorrow?" asked Haonan.
Yan Rushan nodded, "Sure, let's go together."
"Okay, let's decide after we take a look."
Haonan and Tian Shangguo are both honest people. They think about which set to buy and whether the price is right and whether they like it.
The old man decided on three sets with three entrances, Tian Shangguo also wanted one with one entrance, and Haonan had not yet decided; the planned courtyard house also had one set with two entrances and one with four entrances, and Zhong Yuxiu was quite tempted.
"Brother Yan, you're going to look at houses, can you take me with you? I want to see the other two two-story and four-story houses."
"Still want to buy a house?" She already has quite a few houses.
Zhong Yuxiu nodded. "If you buy it, you can rent it out if you don't live in it. Shangjing is becoming more and more prosperous, so there will be no shortage of rentals. It's an inevitable trend."
The price of renting out a Siheyuan is relatively high. Many people cannot afford to live there, but there are also many who can.
"The location is good, it depends on the extent of the damage. I'll go and see it. You stay at home. It will take us half a day or even a whole day to go out." Where can I take her with me?
"Yuxiu, listen to Dashan. You're not in good health, so take good care of yourself." Old Master Yan had already spoken, and Zhong Yuxiu couldn't find a reason to follow him, so she could only nod. "Okay, if the damage to the second courtyard isn't too serious, we'll buy it. If it's too serious, forget it. And no matter how badly damaged the fourth courtyard is, we'll buy it. It won't cost much to repair it."
A courtyard house with four courtyards is rare, and a courtyard house with two courtyards is no longer rare for her.
Yan Rushan naturally agreed, "Okay, since you like quadrangle courtyards, I'll think of a few more for you."
"Buy it when you find a suitable one, and forget about the unsuitable one." There's no need to waste energy, and today is the right time.
The first thing he bought was a four-story house. Grandpa Yan once again gained a new understanding of the financial situation of his eldest grandson and his wife. The price for the four-story house was 28,000 yuan; if he bought three sets of three-story houses, it would only be more than 30,000 yuan.
