Chapter 492: The craze of going abroad

Dongzi stretched out the index finger of his right hand, "A month ago, I passed by here when I went to the market to purchase goods. I happened to see Uncle Zhang hanging a sign on the door saying that this house is for sale, so I went in. I took a quick look and fell in love with it. But I didn’t expect that the house was sold in just one month!”

“Eight thousand yuan, not eighty yuan, how can I just take it out?”

Cuifen raised her hand and patted Dongzi on the shoulder: "Just because we are poor does not mean that everyone is poor. Now do you know how wise it is to agree to advance your salary with your sister-in-law? I'm afraid you will have to wait until you save up to 8,000 yuan to take responsibility. By that time, all the houses you had chosen had been sold.

"Let's go and look at the houses first."

Uncle Zhang didn't lie to Dongzi. The whole row of yards in the alley next to them were for sale.

However, they are both in the same Beijing city and in the same alley, so there are differences between Yuan'er and Yuan'er.

Some houses have problems left over from history. As a result, there are several families living in the yard, but only one of them is selling the house. This means that if you buy this house, you will have several more neighbors, which will cause trouble. Continuously.

Either the house has been in disrepair for a long time, and the selling price is not cheap. It will also cost a lot of money to renovate in the future, which is not cost-effective.

The group of four walked around all morning, almost exploring all the surrounding alleys, and finally settled on a house they wanted.

Of course, this house is just a wishful thinking for Xu Wanning, because the house is large in area and high in price, which is not within the scope of Dongzi Cuifen and Lin Quan's consideration.

"Sister-in-law, we are a family of four and only have three rooms. This is a serious courtyard house with three rooms. We cannot live in it even if it has seven or eight rooms. The most important thing is that this courtyard house is for sale. It's 17,000, which is far more than I expected. I can't afford it.

I can't afford it." Cuifen also said hurriedly: "Sister-in-law, our family of three would not be able to live in such a big house. Let's take a look."

The person selling the house was a young man. Seeing that Xu Wanning was very interested in the house, he thought that the deal could be negotiated today, but unexpectedly he met two people who didn't even consider it.

"Looking at you walking from the east end of the alley, I believe you have seen many houses along the way. I can guarantee you that there is definitely no house around that is better and more cost-effective than my house. It would be a mistake to miss this village. Are you really going to stop considering this store?"

Lin Quan spread his hands and said helplessly: "I also know that your house is good, but the price is only 17,000. Who else can afford it except my sister-in-law? It takes a lot of money to buy a house!"

But my sister-in-law already has a house. Although it is a two-bedroom courtyard house, it is not as good as this one, but it is enough to house a family.

After Lin Quan finished speaking, she realized that Xu Wanning had been silent and did not answer her words.

She vaguely realized something, tugged on Xu Wanning's sleeve, and asked in a low voice: "Sister-in-law, you don't really plan to buy this house, do you?"

"You do."

Seventeen thousand is not a sum of money for Xu Wanning. It’s a small amount, but it’s not impossible to get.

And this courtyard house can be said to meet her needs in every aspect.

Although it is a courtyard with three entrances, it does not necessarily have to be adjacent to each other. Partitions can be made. As long as the craftsman is good, the courtyard with three entrances can be turned into two courtyards of equal area, which can be divided between Songhan and Jinchu.

In this way, even if they get married in the future, their brother and sister will not be too far apart.

Of course, even if you don't leave it to Songhan Jinchu, it is still a good choice to buy it and wait for the appreciation in value.

But the premise is to ensure that the person selling the house will not regret it in the future.

After Lin Quan heard Xu Wanning say that she planned to buy this house, she silently took two steps back and stood with Cuifen.

She knew that her sister-in-law could afford to buy this yard, so she didn't express any opinion.

Cuifen and Dongzi had the same idea.

"I have looked at the house just now. There is nothing wrong with it. The price of 17,000 is also reasonable. I am just curious, why do you want to sell the house? And judging from your appearance, you seem to be very eager."

The landlord stared at Xu Wanning for a while. Seeing that her eyes were clear and she didn't seem to have ulterior motives, he told her the reason.

"Because I want to go abroad. To be honest, I got an opportunity to study abroad. If nothing else happens, I will not return to China in a short time. And going abroad requires a lot of money, so I can only sell the house to ensure that I The funds are abundant."

Indeed!

The reason is closely related to Xu Wanning's assumption.

The landlord is a young man who looks like he is in his early thirties, and he has a bookish air about him. He should be a knowledgeable person.

The path he chose to go abroad was his choice and no one else could comment.

But Xu Wanning still wanted to lament that the boom in going abroad in the 1980s indeed brought a large number of talents into foreign markets.

"Have you ever thought that your courtyard house might be worth a lot of money twenty or thirty years from now, enough money to provide you with food and clothing for the rest of your life? What if you sell it now and regret it in the future? ?"

Xu Wanning thought of the news she had seen in her previous life. Someone sold his house in Shanghai Province for millions and went abroad. After staying abroad for a few years and making a lot of money, he found that his old house had been sold after returning home. , the market price has reached several million or even hundreds of millions.

Examples abound.

Because he knows the general direction of future history, and also knows how important a house is to a Chinese, Xu Wanning does not want to take the opportunity to hoard houses and accumulate real estate, which will cause huge losses to others.

So she needs to figure out whether the owner wants to sell on impulse or whether he has made all the preparations.

After listening to Xu Wanning's words, the homeowner had a faint smile on his face, "I have considered all the issues you mentioned. But for me, going abroad is the path I must take now, and the money from selling the house can support it." I have fulfilled my dream, so I will definitely sell this house."

"Okay." Xu Wanning did not hesitate any longer, "You will take a look at all the procedures for the property. If there are no problems, we will do it now. I can make changes and pay for your room."

The landlord didn't expect Xu Wanning to be so forthcoming, and said hurriedly: "Just wait for me for a moment, I'll go get the procedures."

After the landlord ran into the house, Xu Wanning faced Lin . The three of them said, "I'm sorry, I may need to delay for a while."

"It's okay, sister-in-law, it's not easy to buy a house that you want. We are not in a hurry. We can save enough money to buy it after a while. Yes, don’t worry about us missing your favorite house.”
