As Yi Xiaoqiu and her grandmother walked into the yard, a bald old man came towards them.
"Sister-in-law, is this girl looking for a house?"
Wang Xiangui saw that Yi Xiaoqiu was so young, and she wanted to buy a house.
You know, although his courtyard house is not big, it has an entrance and the price is not cheap!
This girl is so young, where does she get so much money to buy a house?
Grandma nodded and said, "This is the person who looks after the house I was talking about."
As she spoke, she turned around and introduced Yi Xiaoqiu, "Xiaoqiu, this is your Uncle Wang."
Even Yi Xiaoqiu is not sure whether to buy this house or not, but he is definitely going to look at the house.
"Uncle Wang, can I come in and take a look?"
Now that she's here, she might as well take a look around. Although this house is too cramped and she doesn't like it very much, she can't just leave as soon as she enters, right?
Uncle Wang stood in front of Yi Xiaoqiu with his hands behind his back.
"Come with me. This house was passed down from my old man's generation. Unfortunately, my descendants are not up to the task and have ruined this yard into this state."
Uncle Wang shook his head and sighed.
Yi Xiaoqiu and her grandmother followed him into the narrow passage.
Uncle Wang was standing in front. Although he didn't hear what the people behind him were saying, he still kept talking.
"Oh! There are too many people in my family. With so many people living in one yard, there will be a lot of conflicts. If it weren't for my sons wanting to live separately, I really wouldn't be willing to sell this house."
Yi Xiaoqiu thought about the love of the courtyard houses in Beijing in the future, and felt like she was getting a bargain.
Despite her mentality, she still advised, "If the old doesn't go away, the new won't come!"
Uncle Wang turned around and glanced at Yi Xiaoqiu, "You have a point, kid."
Yi Xiaoqiu secretly stuck out her tongue.
She didn't mean anything else, she just felt inexplicably guilty.
Logically speaking, if she paid to buy the house now, it would be considered as solving Uncle Wang's current predicament.
But when she thought about the sky-high housing prices in Beijing in later generations, she always felt like she was taking advantage of others.
There's no way, she's still too soft-hearted.
The three of them passed through the passage and came to the main house.
The main house is spacious, with three rooms.
Yi Xiaoqiu followed Old Man Wang and looked around the rooms in the yard, and he roughly realized how big the yard was.
To be honest, this yard is really not big, much smaller than the old house of the Ji family, covering an area of more than 200 square meters. Except for the main house which is a little bigger, the east and west wing rooms are very narrow.
The original structure of the house was well preserved, but a few small houses had been added at the back, and the yard looked a bit messy.
Yi Xiaoqiu was somewhat dissatisfied with this yard.
However, she didn't say anything in front of others, but grandma spoke up.
"Old Wang, your yard is too messy. Why did you build a house in the middle of the yard? It's too cramped."
When Grandpa Wang heard this, he smiled bitterly and said, "Alas! I didn't want to make this yard look like this. It's just that there are too many people in my family and there is no place to live, so I had to build a house in the yard."
As he spoke, Old Man Wang looked at Yi Xiaoqiu and said, "Xiaoqiu, don't despise it. When this yard is yours, if you don't need these small houses, you can just take them over later. It won't take much effort."
Yi Xiaoqiu shook his head. "Uncle Wang, don't worry about this for now. How much do you want for this house?"
During the few days she has been here, she has also inquired about the current housing prices in Beijing.
Although there are fewer house transactions now, there are still some.
The price of a house is mostly between a few dozen and a hundred yuan per square meter. Although people don’t calculate it this way, the prices of houses are all in this range.
As for the specific price of the house, it depends on the location and the state of preservation of the house.
Yi Xiaoqiu looked around and had an idea of the approximate price of the house.
She is not short of money now. It can be said that she has too much money to spend. If the price is right, she can buy it even if she thinks the yard is too small.
At worst, you can just keep it for appreciation in the future!
The small yellow croakers in her hand would not depreciate even if they were left alone, but the cash would only depreciate if kept for a long time.
It’s better to stock up now before people start speculating on houses.
The premise is that the price of the house is right.
Even if she has too much money to spend, she can't be taken advantage of, right?
Yi Xiaoqiu is not that kind of person.
Uncle Wang touched his bald head and said, "I want this amount for my house." As he said that, Uncle Wang stretched out four fingers to Yi Xiaoqiu.
"forty thousand!"
Yi Xiaoqiu immediately gave up the idea of hoarding this house.
A yard of less than 300 square meters is sold for 40,000 yuan, and the price is more than 100 square meters.
This house, at this price, considering the current prices, is undoubtedly a big rip-off for her.
Before Yi Xiaoqiu could say anything, Grandma exclaimed, "What? How much did you say?"
"Forty thousand." Yi Xiaoqiu added to show that he heard it clearly.
"You want to sell such a small, shabby yard for 40,000? Why don't you just rob it?" The grandmother looked angry.
She didn't expect that this old man Wang would not give her any face at all.
Yi Xiaoqiu was the person she brought with her, but this old man Wang actually asked for such a huge amount of money. It was too much!
Grandpa Wang smiled bitterly: "Alas! I have four sons! I have more than ten grandchildren, and the children are gradually growing up. My sons are counting on the money to buy a house and hold a wedding. I have no choice."
Yi Xiaoqiu couldn't help but sigh in her heart. She remembered that her grandmother had mentioned to her that Uncle Wang not only had a son, but also three daughters.
Old man Wang was only thinking about selling the house and giving the money to his sons, planning only for their future, but never thinking about his daughter.
Yi Xiaoqiu instantly lost interest in Old Man Wang.
"Grandpa Wang, I won't tell you about the condition of your yard. I'm sure you already know the situation. However, the price of your yard is really high. If you can sell it for 20,000 yuan, I will buy it."
Yi Xiaoqiu doesn't like to haggle when buying things. She likes to be straightforward. Plus, she has no feelings for the old man at the moment, so her words are even more direct.
When Old Man Wang heard that Yi Xiaoqiu was only willing to pay 20,000, his face suddenly changed.
This little girl doesn't look big, but she is very ruthless when it comes to bargaining. She starts cutting the price in half as soon as she opens her mouth. Who bargains like this these days?
Twenty thousand yuan, this price undoubtedly lowered Uncle Wang's psychological defenses.
Grandma also looked at Yi Xiaoqiu in surprise.
Could it be that Yi Xiaoqiu doesn't like this yard and is deliberately bargaining for the price?
Grandma really didn't know the current price of a house. It was only after she saw Yi Xiaoqiu bargain down the price in half that she started to think about it.
Old Man Wang blushed and looked at Yi Xiaoqiu, "This...you hit me too hard!"
Yi Xiaoqiu shook her head and said, "I want to buy a house in Beijing, and I have paid some attention to the current market situation.
Your house is about the same price. If you're willing to sell it at this price, we can go through the formalities right away. If you're not willing to sell it at this price, I won't waste your time."
Yi Xiaoqiu's words couldn't be clearer.
"Then I have to discuss it with my family."
Although Old Man Wang was dissatisfied with the price proposed by Yi Xiaoqiu, he did not make a final decision right away.
After all, since he released the news that he wanted to sell the house, Yi Xiaoqiu was the person who offered the highest bid.
