Start with buying a house

Chapter 93 Hutongs and Courtyards in the Capital (Please recommend tickets! Please collect!)
Every woman has her own right to choose. No matter whether Xi Weixing chooses to be a full-time wife, a good wife and mother at home, or to work hard and be a strong woman, Ouyang Dehe will respect her own choice. interfere with her decision.

Women should not just be men's vassals, reproductive machines for passing on from generation to generation, they have the right to choose how to live.

But since she has chosen to marry, having children is also the duty of a woman.

After all, no one can deprive a woman of the right to be a mother, and by the same token, a woman cannot deprive her husband of the right to be a father.

If it is infertile, that is another matter.

If marriage does not even fulfill the obligation to have children, then what is the point of marriage? If everyone does not have children, wouldn’t human beings be extinct?
Fortunately, Xi Weixing was not unwilling to have children because he wanted a career, otherwise Ouyang Dehe would definitely feel a little uncomfortable.

No matter how advanced the society is, no matter how equal men and women are, it is impossible for a man to replace a woman to have children, right?
The next day, the two started walking from Houhai near the Forbidden City to the old alleys of the capital.

Many foreigners who come to the capital are also very interested in the hutongs in the capital. Occasionally, they can be seen in the hutongs. A few blond foreigners with SLR cameras are taking pictures of the hutongs in the capital.

The weather is relatively cold now, and it is not the peak season for tourism in the capital, so there are not many tourists. Apart from private cars passing by, there are not many pedestrians in the alley.

The two walked a few alleys, and found a few courtyard houses with signs for sale, but most of them looked old and dilapidated, uninhabitable, dilapidated, and Xi Weixing frowned. Head, obviously a bit contemptuous of these houses.

But Ouyang Dehe thinks it's normal. If there's a good courtyard house, it's his turn to buy it there!

In fact, when you buy a courtyard house, you buy the land of the courtyard house. It will definitely need to be renovated after buying it. These courtyard houses are houses with a long history. No matter how well maintained they will be, they will become dilapidated.

And the old-fashioned courtyard house is not suitable for modern people to live in!It must be redecorated, and some houses even have to be demolished and rebuilt.

Therefore, it doesn't matter whether the house in the courtyard is dilapidated or not, the more dilapidated the house, the cheaper the price can be.

Of course Ouyang Dehe would like to buy a large courtyard house. He really doesn't have that interest in a courtyard house with an area of ​​[-] to [-] square meters.

Near Shichahai, Ouyang Dehe took a fancy to a courtyard house, and there was a sign outside the door that said the courtyard house was for sale, with a contact number on it.

Ouyang Dehe tried to make a call, and heard that Ouyang Dehe intended to buy a courtyard house, so they asked him to wait at the door, and then hung up the phone.

Soon, the wooden door of the courtyard was opened, and it turned out that the owner lived in the courtyard.

"Do you want to buy a courtyard house?" Seeing that both of them were young, the homeowner obviously didn't believe it. They had the financial strength to buy his courtyard house.

"Of course, otherwise, how dare we disturb you casually?" Ouyang Dehe nodded and said.

"My courtyard is a bit big. The courtyard in this alley is the largest in my house. It has nine rooms and one living room, as well as a kitchen and a bathroom. It covers an area of ​​thousands of square meters and is worth tens of millions. Are you sure you want to buy it again?" Is it?" The homeowner did not rush to bring the two into the yard, but said first.

"As long as we are satisfied after reading it and the price is right, tens of millions of dollars is not a problem." Ouyang Dehe said confidently.

The homeowner didn't say anything more, and let the two of them follow him into the courtyard.

Ouyang De and Xi Weixing walked in together. The courtyard inside was quite large, and the building area was not small. It was over a thousand square meters. It was the place where rich families lived in the past.

The house is well protected. If you don't want to move, you can live in it. After all, the owner's family also lives here.

However, it has only reached the conditions for habitation. Many places are still dilapidated and damaged. Some wires and other things are in a mess. Many places are very dirty. It is estimated that it was a large courtyard where several families lived.

"I sincerely want to buy this courtyard house. If you sincerely want to sell it, give me a real price. We looked around and there are several courtyard houses we want to sell, but I prefer the larger courtyard houses." Ouyang Dehe looked at it. After that, he nodded and said to the homeowner.

"I want cash transaction, no problem?" The homeowner hesitated and asked.

"I said, as long as the price is right, money is not a problem." Ouyang Dehe nodded and said.

"800 million, is this price acceptable?" the homeowner asked.

"If your courtyard house was once lived in by a famous historical figure, it has historical value and the house is well protected. The price of 800 million yuan should be said to be very fair." Ouyang Dehe said very pertinently.

"Let's put it this way! A friend of mine bought a courtyard house covering an area of ​​160 square meters nearby last year, but the courtyard house was rather dilapidated and only cost [-] million yuan."

"The area of ​​your courtyard is three times that of my friend, which is about 500 million!"

"500 million, that's impossible. I can't sell it to you." The homeowner said excitedly.

"Of course, your courtyard house is better preserved than the one my friend bought, so 600 million is still worth it." Ouyang Dehe said.

"600 million? This is a bit too cheap!" After hearing the 600 million, the homeowner was still a little moved.

The courtyard houses in early 2005 did not belong to the category of commercial housing, and banks did not accept mortgage loans, so the transactions of courtyard houses were all cash transactions and paid off in one lump sum.

But at the beginning of 2005, there were still not many people who could take out hundreds of millions at a time, so it was not easy for the courtyard house to be sold, and there was a state of price but no market.

If you are lucky, if you meet someone you like, and the other party has money, you can make a high price deal.

In addition, there is a geographical location, surrounding traffic and living environment, which also have a great impact on the price.

The owner of the home has been planning to sell it for a long time, but he has been unable to sell it. It is not that no one wants to buy it, but most of them cannot come up with so much cash.

The homeowner's family has already completed the immigration procedures and is preparing to go abroad to inherit the inheritance of their relatives. There is really no time to waste.

He asked for 800 million yuan, but he was already very sincere and wanted to sell it. In the past, he always asked for 1000 million yuan, and the minimum price was 900 million yuan, before he was willing to sell it.

At that time, he was not in a hurry, so the price was not willing to be too cheap.

But now he was starting to get a little anxious, and he had heard about the courtyard house that Ouyang Dehe was talking about, after all, it was very close to Shichahai.

"But that courtyard house is too dilapidated to live in." The owner said nonchalantly.
