Chapter 241
The arrival of new neighbors had little impact on Xu Di and her friends' lives.
Apart from occasionally meeting He Jingyi in the morning, Xu Di had basically never met any other members of the He family.
The three children of the He family got to know Nuannuan and the others. After dinner, Nuannuan took her sister to practice martial arts with the police officer who lived in the front yard.
He Jingyi would also come out with her nephews and nieces, and the children got to know each other.
This weekend, Xu Di wants to go check out the store.
After breakfast, she let Nuannuan take Tuantuan and Yuanyuan to play at home, and she walked out of the house with her bag.
Xu Di was not looking blindly, she had a goal.
Although she had never been to Beijing in her previous life, she had heard of the legend of Xiushui Street in Beijing.
Last year, a market spontaneously formed on Xiushui Street. Some educated youth who returned to the city set up stalls there, and a few shops were opened sporadically.
Xu Di got on the bus and looked at the buildings outside. Who could have imagined that after a few decades, there would be such great changes.
After getting off the bus, Xu Di asked along the way and found Xiushui Street.
Xiushui Street at that time was very simple. When you entered the alley, there were shops on both sides and the aisle in the middle was only about three meters wide. Some people set up stalls here to sell fruits, local specialties, handicrafts, gloves, socks and other household items.
Xu Di walked along the alley to see if there were any shops selling anything.
It may be because private business has just been allowed, or it may be because those who have been rehabilitated have just returned, and they are still a little uncertain as to whether the policy will change again.
Xu Di walked around and stopped here and there, and there were indeed shops with signs selling goods, written in neat calligraphy on newspapers or cardboard.
The entire alley is about three hundred meters long. Xu Di observed along the way and saw more than ten shops with signs for sale.
Xu Di took a rough look from outside. The shops were of different sizes and their doors were locked, so he couldn't see what was going on inside.
Xu Di copied down the phone number, but he didn't know whether it was a street phone or a home phone.
The housing prices at this time are not expensive, but they also depend on the location and the area of the house.
Since he wanted to buy it, Xu Di decided to make a phone call.
I contacted several homeowners and made an appointment to view the houses half an hour later.
There aren't many people on Xiushui Street right now. There are embassies and diplomatic residences around, and you can see many foreigners.
At the agreed time, Xu Di met the owner of one of the shops.
"Hello, you want to buy a shop?"
"Yes, can I see it?"
"Okay, let's go."
The owner of the house doesn't like to talk, doesn't like to look up, and just walks with his head down. Xu Di followed behind, also without saying a word.
The shop is on Xiushui Street and is not small in size.
"This shop is 40 square meters, it is two shops connected together, and it is considered to be a relatively large shop in this alley.
I am leaving Beijing City, and the shop is priced at three thousand yuan. ”
After the homeowner finished speaking, he didn't even look at Xu Di and touched the door frame with his hand.
Xu Di didn't know whether the price was high or low, and she didn't know how much was appropriate.
However, she quite likes this shop because of its good location and large size.
Xu Di knew that no matter how much money it was, it was appropriate to buy a store at this time. This is because she knows how outrageous the housing prices in Beijing will rise in the future.
"Are the formalities complete?"
"It has just been returned. The paperwork is complete. You can go to the Housing Management Office to handle the formalities."
The homeowner's eyes were complicated, with sadness, helplessness, and relief.
"Then we'll go to the Housing Authority to handle the formalities on Monday. Do you want cash or wire?"
"cash."
Xu Di agreed on a time with the landlord. The landlord took one last look and left.
Seeing that it was still early, Xu Di called another shop that he had his eye on.
This time the owner came quickly. His shop was five small shops connected together, located in the middle.
“Comrade, although the location of my shop is not the best, it is connected and easy to manage.
I wouldn't have sold it if I didn't need the funds. ”
This gay man is very talkative and has a different personality from the previous owner.
"Comrade, how big is your shop?"
“There are five shops, the three in the middle are 17 or 18 square meters each, and the ones on the sides are more than 20 square meters.
The five shops together cover an area of more than 100 square meters. ”
Xu Di looked at each one. The empty shops were really clean and there was nothing in them.
"How much?"
"If you buy them all, I'll give you a discount, a total of nine thousand yuan."
Xu Di felt that the owner of this house must have been a businessman in the past and was not honest.
The shop she just bought is 40 square meters and cost only 3,000 yuan.
"Your asking price is too high. You don't really want to sell it."
"Look, we're asking for a high price, but you can bargain. Besides, this is a shop, it will be very valuable in the future."
Xu Di knew that he was right, but how much did workers earn a month now, only about fifty or sixty yuan.
"Six thousand yuan. If you agree, go to the Housing Management Office to transfer the ownership tomorrow."
Xu Di bargained according to the price given by the previous owner.
Comparing the area and location here with the previous one, they are almost the same.
Xu Di felt that the previous homeowner was more honest.
"You're bargaining too hard. Let's both take a step back and go to seven thousand five."
"It's just six thousand. I asked someone about it, and that's the price."
Xu Di bluffed and acted like he knew a lot.
The homeowner didn't say anything, but was thinking on his own.
He knew that if he sold the shop now, he would regret it later. His ancestors were businessmen and could foresee how the situation would develop in the future.
They were sent down to the countryside for several years and were finally rehabilitated. Their property was said to be returned to them, but except for some real estate, the rest could no longer be found.
Before being demoted, his family gave away a lot of large and small yellow croakers, antiques, calligraphy and paintings and used connections to ensure the safety of the entire family.
Now, the house has been returned and I know that I can continue to do business.
Unfortunately, there is no start-up capital.
The landlord didn't say anything, and Xu Di didn't say anything either. She felt that six thousand was not a small amount.
The house is worth money, but it will take at least twenty years for it to be worth it. The prices are like this now, we can’t use future events to measure the current situation.
"Okay, six thousand. I'll go to the Housing Authority to handle the formalities on Monday."
"Is the formalities okay? My husband is a soldier, you can't fool me."
Xu Di brought up Zhang Chaoyang and said she was afraid there was something wrong with the procedures.
"No problem, we'll know after we go through the formalities at the Housing Authority tomorrow."
The two of them made an appointment, and Xu Di didn't continue watching. It was enough.
She plans to buy another one when she finds a suitable yard in the future, and she will have enough money.
On Monday, Xu Di went to school to ask for a morning off.
She took a bus to the Housing Management Office on Xiushui Street. She had confirmed the location yesterday.
The first homeowner had arrived, still with his head down, and Xu Di went into the housing management office with him.
Having bought a house before, Xu Di knew the process.
The store had all the necessary paperwork, Xu Di had also prepared the money, and the formalities were completed quickly.
Xu Di now has another store under his name.
Holding his own property certificate, Xu Di suppressed a smile, left the Housing Management Office, went to a nearby supply and marketing cooperative, and bought a few padlocks.
Half an hour later, the second homeowner arrived and the two of them went into the Housing Management Office again.
The staff inside took a look at Xu Di. This man is quite rich, so why is he here again?
Five shops, with complete formalities.
One hand pays the other hand receives the goods.
This morning, Xu Di used nine thousand yuan to buy back six shops.
After smuggling all the property certificates into the space, Xu Di went to the shop and changed the lock.
Xiushui Street will also be her property in the future.
Xu Di turned around and confirmed that the doors were locked. He then skipped out of Xiushui Street, feeling uncontrollably happy.
