Chapter 141 Jingshi Xiaosheng
An Zhixia suddenly understood and recalled the situation described in the period novels. In the early days of the founding of Xiahua State, some houses were taken back by the state for public use and distributed to various units and factory employees. Several or even more than a dozen families lived in one courtyard house. As a result, the houses were returned to the original owners one after another in recent years. These residents acted pitiful, pretended to be pitiful, and even threatened to commit suicide, but they just refused to leave, did not pay rent, and did not take care of the houses.
The original owner had no choice but to sell the house at a low price, but as soon as the buyer came to see the house, a big drama started in the courtyard, so the sale was delayed again and again.
"Are you planning to follow us and pick up some bargains?" An Zhixia asked with a sneer.
Arriving in Kyoto, Uncle Yang could no longer pretend to be a security guard and said straight away with a straight face, "What do you mean by following the trend and picking up bargains? I'm looking for a retirement home for myself. There are too many children and grandchildren at home, and when we have gatherings during the New Year and other holidays, there's no room to stay at home. Don't I have to find a place with a big yard and many houses?
Besides, we have connections and acquaintances when buying a house, so the price is the lowest, and you got a great bargain!"
An Zhixia held the bag in her arms and thought for a while, "I have to go and take a look first."
Old Yang's face was wrinkled as he said, "I know everything about that place. Just imagine, how miserable can a person be to live in a clean, bright and well-furnished house? Some of their family members are section chiefs, directors or deputy factory managers in units or factories. They got the news of the house in advance and occupied it first.
In fact, many people have also gotten one or two welfare houses, but they feel that the crowds are too crowded and they are holding on to this piece of fat meat.
Tsk tsk, haven't you seen those old ladies who usually boast about being the mother of so-and-so, and how powerful their children, grandchildren, daughters-in-law and daughters-in-law are? But when they see people looking at their houses, they immediately fall to the ground and throw tantrums like country women. Which house buyer wants to cause such trouble?
But considering your strength as a chili pepper, is this still a problem? "
"Grandpa, you think too highly of me," An Zhixia chuckled. If what the old man said was true, those courtyard houses were indeed worth buying, and they should be stockpiled in large quantities, waiting for them to appreciate in value after a few decades. Just thinking about being the landlady of the rich would make life particularly beautiful and brilliant.
After being persuaded by the old man, they checked into the hotel outside the compound.
The sun came out, and the cool wind blew away the thick fog, revealing the simple and majestic appearance of Kyoto. The brother and sister put away their luggage and walked out. They couldn't help but stop and greedily breathe the air, looking at the familiar yet unfamiliar streets.
"Xia Xia, we are back!" An Zhiqiu clenched his fists excitedly, his eyes red.
"Yes, not only are we back, we will also become young people with four things: a car, a house, a job and savings," An Zhixia sighed, but she was not as emotional as her brother. After feeling the strong spirit of the times, she pulled her silly brother straight to the supply and marketing cooperative and bought two Phoenix brand bicycles.
His brother has a regular model, a shiny black large frame bike, while hers is a smaller 26-inch red bike, and the price difference is 20%.
An Zhiqiu couldn't help but sigh. A year ago, they left their hometown just after they became adults with worn-out bags on their backs. At that time, they had no money, but now buying a car is like buying a box of matches at the supply and marketing cooperative. You buy it when you need it, without having to think about it. This kind of generosity in spending money is so cool!
The two rode around nearby, and according to Brother Hong's description, they soon discovered the local black market. They parked the car far away, and dressed up a little, turning into a country couple with dark, rough, and pale faces. Because An Zhixia had sharp ears, she could detect the secret signals of people whispering in each other's ears from a distance of ten meters, so she easily sneaked in.
An Zhiqiu kept his body tense to protect his sister, while An Zhixia used all five senses to investigate the information dealer. Now the outside is strictly checked, so everyone trades quickly, and goes straight to what they want to buy, and leaves as soon as they are done. There is no leisurely strolling in the rural market.
When they were halfway there, An Zhixia spotted the young man with his face covered and holding a Jing Xiaosheng sign. She winked at her brother, and the two of them walked forward.
The young man asked without even looking up, "Looking for people, hiring, renting, buying, selling, repurchasing second-hand houses at high prices, getting certificates, moving... There's nothing I can't do, Jing Xiaosheng, except what you can't think of."
"Comrade, I want to ask you about the situation of the courtyard houses near the compound." An Zhiqiu lowered his voice and said, "My friend wants to buy a house, and I heard that there are many for sale over there."
Jing Xiaosheng glanced at him calmly, took out a pen and a notebook, and asked, "What do you want to ask?"
"Basic information about the house, such as the size of the yard, the number of houses, the selling price, and the details of the current tenants and the owner."
"Tsk tsk," he stopped writing and looked at the two people with some interest, "It seems that you have made up your mind to buy the house? It takes a lot of time and effort to get all this information, and the price is not low."
"So, I wonder how much the comrade wants, and when we can get the news out?" An Zhiqiu continued to ask in a steady voice.
"Well," he squinted his eyes and counted on his fingers.
An Zhixia chuckled: "Comrade, we came straight to you. We are all acquaintances, so who doesn't know who else's situation? The problems with those houses have been going on for more than a year or two, and many people have been asking you for information.
It's not like we can't find out this information ourselves, we just want to save some time and effort so that you can make some extra money. Don't give us an inflated price, just give us a good deal.
We are waiting to buy and move in before the New Year. ”
"You are quite arrogant. Many people have tried to get information from me but failed to buy the house. Even some people who bought it by force are in a hurry to sell it." Jing Xiaosheng shook his head and coughed. "Forget it. Since you are introduced by an old customer, I will take a loss and charge you the cost price. One dollar for a house, and ten dollars for the whole area. I will give it to you upon payment. I will not delay you at all. Well, you can move in before the New Year. Isn't that good enough?"
An Zhixia nodded to her brother, who took out a big unity banknote and handed it to her.
Jing Xiaosheng rummaged through the heavy backpack behind him for a while, pulled out a piece of letter paper as thick as a finger and handed it over. He took the money and examined it carefully, then said with a smile in his eyes, "If there is anything else you need to know about that area, you can always come to me. It's free and I will give it to you. Our after-sales service is very good, and you are welcome to come and patronize us often!"
After leaving the black market, the two went to a state-owned restaurant and ordered two bowls of beef noodles. After eating and drinking, they returned to the hotel. An Zhixia took the information and looked at it carefully. Jing Xiaosheng was a capable person. The information was very detailed. There was a floor plan of the houses in the entire area, with numbers marked on them. There was a layout of the house in the page, and the information of the owner and the residents was also recorded, even including which residents had dirty dealings with each other.
