So she asked Da Junzi privately and learned that the house belonged to the landlord's Yue family and there was no problem with the property rights. After exchanging views with Xiao Qinyun, she let him negotiate the price.
Xiao Qinyun agreed with the landlord that the house and the two sets of tables and chairs would cost a total of 2,800 taels. He would pay a deposit of 200 taels first, and three days later go to the street office to write a contract in triplicate. Everyone in the family would sign and fingerprint it, and the street office would witness the signature and fingerprint. The three parties would each hold a copy of the contract. At that time, Xiao Qinyun would pay the remaining balance and the landlord would hand over the house.
Coming out of Wangfujing, Qiao Qinglu thought about something, "Xiao Qinyun, the housing market is so tight these days. We have so many vacant houses. Will we be forced to rent them out someday?"
Xiao Qinyun thought for a moment. "Theoretically, we should rent them out. We can live in Wangfujing. If we buy the courtyard in Nanluoguxiang, we can also find a way to rent it out to an organization or individual. We just need to sign a contract with the street office. As for the two run-down courtyards in Houhai, we'll take a look at their condition. If they're particularly run-down, we can leave them idle and agree with the street office to repair them when we have more money. We can then hire someone to go there for a stroll and look after the courtyards when we have time."
Da Junzi was a little surprised when he heard their conversation, "Sister Qiao, are you planning to buy all the houses we looked at today?"
Qiao Qinglu said, "Let's see if it's appropriate first. We also need to think about how to deal with it."
As they were talking, they arrived at the third courtyard of Nanluoguxiang. The landlord welcomed them in. This courtyard was nearly twice as large as the first courtyard of Wangfujing. It had five back rooms, six back rooms, three main rooms and three east and west wing rooms. All of them were quite large and were made of blue bricks, blue tiles and blue stone slabs.
The middle of the yard is empty, with no trees, and there is no furniture or anything inside the house, but the overall structure is well preserved and does not require any repairs.
So Xiao Qinyun came forward to negotiate the price with the landlord. They agreed that the house was priced at 3,900 yuan, with a deposit of 200 yuan paid first. Three days later, they went to the street office to write a contract in triplicate, with all the family members signing and fingerprinting it, and the street office witnessing the signature and fingerprinting. The three parties each held a copy of the contract. At that time, Xiao Qinyun would pay the remaining balance and the landlord would hand over the house.
After finishing the two houses, Xiao Qinyun and Qiao Qinglu felt a lot more relaxed. They could finally leave the machinery factory compound. Thinking that there were two more yards waiting for them, they became even happier.
The three of them came to Houhai. The two courtyards were separated by an alley. They first came to the third courtyard. The area of this courtyard was not very large. As soon as they entered the courtyard, they saw that the tiles were broken, the brick carvings on the wall were smashed, and there were only a few bluestone slabs left on the ground.
The back house, the main house, the east and west wing rooms, and the back room all had no good doors or windows. There were still some mud walls left in the yard, which showed that it was originally a slum.
Qiao Qinglu asked directly: "There is no dispute about this house, and there are no tenants, right?"
The landlord, a man in his sixties, said, "Don't worry, my daughter. The government returned this house to me last year, and the tenants moved out long ago. Everyone in the neighborhood knows about it. The company demolished the house, and my wife and I didn't want to see the scene, so we never renovated it. After a winter, it's even more desolate. This house is over 800 square meters, and it's going to cost a lot to renovate. I don't want a high price, just 1850. If it's a good deal, let's sign the contract."
"Okay." Qiao Qinglu readily paid a deposit of 200 yuan and agreed to go to the street office three days later to write a contract in triplicate, with all the family members signing and fingerprinting it, and the street office signing and fingerprinting it as a witness. The three parties would each hold a copy of the contract. At that time, Qiao Qinglu would pay the remaining balance and the homeowner would hand over the house.
Coming out of the third courtyard and going around an alley, they arrived at the second courtyard.
This courtyard is slightly smaller than the one in Wangfujing. The roof tiles are broken and the brick carvings on the wall have been smashed, but the bluestone slabs on the ground are still well preserved.
The doors and windows of the back house, the main house, the east and west wing rooms, and the back house were also smashed. Although the yard was cleaned up, there were still some traces of construction. It must have been a large courtyard.
Qiao Qinglu still asked whether there was any property rights dispute over the house. The landlord said that he could ask the street officials to provide a certificate and that the tenant had moved out last year.
After some bargaining, they agreed with the landlord that the house would be priced at 1,600 ใจพ, with a deposit of 200 ใจพ to be paid first. Three days later, they would go to the street office to write three copies of the contract, with all the family members signing and fingerprinting them, and the street office witnessing the signatures and fingerprints. The three parties would each hold a copy of the contract. At that time, Qiao Qinglu would pay the remaining balance and the landlord would hand over the house.
After being busy for an entire afternoon, Da Junzi followed the two men dizzily as they went to the black market. They were supposed to look for a suitable house, but how come Qiao Meizi and her friends directly bought four courtyard houses? Although they could make a lot of money in the black market, the houses were not cheap, so they just bought one after they looked.
Brother Yong didn't know what Da Junzi was thinking. When he saw Qiao Qinglu and the other three coming, he asked them what they thought of it.
Da Junzi: "It looks very good. I have paid the deposit in full and the house will be ready in three days."
Brother Yong: "You paid all the deposits? Sister Qiao, you are really bold. Just wave your hand and you can get four apartments."
Qiao Qinglu smiled and said, "Isn't this all the confidence that Brother Yong gave me? Only by following you and making more money can I have money to buy a house."
Brother Yong was delighted when he heard this. "No, no, your product is the best. I'm just following you to get the soup."
The two of them entered into a business-like mutual praise mode, which made Da Junzi dumbfounded. He didn't know who was helping whom.
After praising them for a while, Qiao Qinglu said, "Brother Yong, if you have money, why not buy a few yards?"
Brother Yong was stunned, "You mean, this yard is also like the little yellow croaker?"
Qiao Qinglu: "Brother Yong, you're a wise man. By the way, Brother Yong, do all your men have places to live? My yard in Nanluoguxiang is vacant, I'll rent it to them cheaply. All they have to do is look after it for me. Also, find me a brother, pay him 10000 yuan a month, to go to Houhai every now and then to check on the yard for me, so I can be notified of any disturbances."
When Brother Yong heard what Qiao Qinglu said, he immediately understood what she meant. "That's perfect. My brothers Lao Duo are renting a house outside, and you have cheap land here, so why not rent it? I'll have them go to the street office with you to sign the contract in three days. Houhai is even easier. I'll give you the person in three days."
After saying that, Brother Yong handed over the key to the Xie family's yard and a note with the name of the items to be delivered next time.
After Qiao Qinglu took it, she agreed with Brother Yong to discuss the next delivery in three days, and then left Heiyu with Xiao Qinyun.
I found a dead end nearby, went into the space to remove my makeup, changed my clothes, and then rode my bike to the steel plant compound.
