Chapter 171
"Brother, I think that old man is just being careless. Why do you still listen to him? I think we should find someone else."
Ma Liang sat in the back seat of Erba Dagang, still aggrieved.
In his heart, what Lao Wutou said was not credible at all, but Chu Jianghe insisted on coming over to take a look.
Chu Jianghe knew what he was talking about. Seeing that he was still blabbering, he said angrily: "If it doesn't work, just get out of the car and I'll go and take a look by myself."
Seeing that Chu Jianghe was anxious, Ma Liang shrank his head and stopped talking.
The location that Lao Wutou mentioned was over Jianchang Hutong, next to the Imperial College, and not far from Xizhimen. It took Chu Jianghe a short ride to get there.
When they arrived at the appointed place, Chu Jianghe and Ma Liang smoked two cigarettes, and the old warrior also came over.
Ma Liang didn't dare to face Chu Jianghe, but he didn't have so many scruples when it came to Lao Wutou: "Old Wutou, where is the house you mentioned? We looked around here for a long time and didn't see it. There is a suitable one.”
Lao Wutou smiled mysteriously: "Come with me."
As he said that, he led the two people into an alley. After walking less than 50 meters, they came to a gate.
Lao Wutou pointed to the gate and said to Chu Jianghe, "What do you think of this courtyard?"
Chu Jianghe looked over and saw that the red paint on the two gates was very mottled. However, looking at these two gates and the stone drums at the door that had been coated with grout, one could vaguely see the grandeur of the past.
Green tiles, white walls, horse-headed eaves, and high courtyard walls all around.
Although this is not a palace belonging to a prince or aristocrat, the identity of the owner must not be simple.
As if he could see the doubts in Chu Jianghe's heart, Old Wutou said at the right time: "This house was originally the residence of an official of the Imperial College, but too much time has passed, and it is no longer possible to verify who it was. It was abandoned before liberation. By chance, I bought it and returned it last year.”
Chu Jianghe was a little excited. The environment here was really good. It was located in the city center and there was an elementary school nearby. It was a quiet place in the middle of the hustle and bustle.
The alley is spacious enough, so parking will be more convenient in the future.
When I heard Lao Wutou say that this was actually his house, I couldn't help but look at him twice. Being able to buy such a big house showed that Lao Wutou was also a figure back then.
Lao Wutou chuckled: "I will take you inside to see if you are satisfied or not."
After saying that, he walked into the house first. As soon as Chu Jianghe stepped in, he was gently pulled by Ma Liang and reminded: "Brother, do you think this old man has such a big house? Are you serious? You have to be careful."
Ma Liang was also kind-hearted, and Chu Jianghe would not blame him. He nodded lightly: "Don't worry."
There is a saying: Cars, boats, shops, legs and teeth should be killed even if they are not guilty.
It is talking about several low-level professions in old age, because most of these professions deal with ordinary people. The people are bullied by these people, but they are unable to fight back and can only swallow their anger.
These professions are most likely to have unruly people, and they are also the easiest to get scolded, so this sentence comes into being.
The intermediary Lao Wu Tou belongs to Yahang. In the old days, it was a person who matched buyers and sellers and obtained commissions from them.
Anyone who can gain a foothold in this industry is not a good person.
It's not all about words that Yazi eats, and his smooth words are not enough. Bringing things together between buyers and sellers is a battle of interests. Without any power behind him, he can't play well.
The old military leader was able to purchase such a large property before liberation, which shows that he did quite well at the beginning.
Chu Jianghe followed Lao Wutou and took a brief stroll in the yard. Lao Wutou gave him a brief introduction.
This is a standard three-entry courtyard with a large area. Except for the appearance that needs repairs, the main part of the courtyard is still well preserved. With a little repair, this courtyard is still suitable for living. After seeing it, Chu Jianghe was even more excited.
However, his only concern was that there were already seven or eight families living in this yard. When there were more people, it would be even more uncomfortable to look at some debris placed in the yard, but he didn't find any problems with the others.
When Lao Wutou led Chu Jianghe and Ma Liang to look at the house, the people in the yard were not curious, thinking that they were just new tenants who were about to move in. They would only look at them twice and then continue to do whatever they were supposed to do.
"I live here now, too."
All the good places in the yard were occupied. Old Wutou lived in only a wing room. The house was not big, only about ten square meters, which was more than enough for him alone.
It's a bit sad to think that he is the owner of the yard, but he can only live in a dark side room.
After looking around, Old Wutou asked Chu Jianghe, "Are you satisfied?"
Chu Jianghe nodded: "This yard is not bad, but there are some people living there, which makes it a little inconvenient."
Lao Wutou didn't know this, and sighed: "These were all moved in before I returned them. They were all arranged by the Housing Authority. Although I have the deed, I can't force them to leave."
Chu Jianghe and Ma Liang also understand these things. Nowadays, there are many courtyard houses in the capital. Strictly speaking, they are still private property. However, due to the shortage of housing, some people have been arranged to live in them, and they have gradually turned into large courtyards. .
People living in large courtyards are also protected. Even if you have a house deed and can prove that the house belongs to you, you cannot force them to leave. You can only wait until they have a house and move out on your own. Calculate it.
However, these people do not live in vain. They have to pay rent. This rent is also a symbolic collection point. To be more precise, this is the current public rental housing and is of a welfare nature.
The housing problem, let alone now, will be a big problem even in a few decades.
Those who can live in the courtyard are ordinary people. It would be nice to have a place to shelter from the wind and rain. What more can you ask for.
But if he thought about waiting for them to move out, he didn't know how long it would take. Chu Jianghe didn't have the patience.
Don't even think about waiting until they save enough money to buy a house and move out.
Those who can buy a house before housing prices skyrocket should do so.
It is undoubtedly a foolish dream to think of buying a house in the capital based on your salary alone.
"Old Wutou, if you can't drive these people away, can my brother drive them away? I think you don't have good intentions when selling this house."
Ma Liang spoke without politeness and directly pointed out the crux of the problem.
Chu Jianghe didn't stop him. Ma Liang said what he wanted to say.
When Lao Wutou saw that Chu Jianghe was silent, he thought he had concerns. He really wanted to sell this yard, and he had finally found a customer. How could he give up so easily? He quickly explained: "You can't say that, who knows what will happen in the future." , it is possible that all these people will have moved away in two years. For such a big yard, I needed ten small yellow croakers when I bought it. If you really want it, the price can be negotiated. "
Chu Jianghe thought about it for a while and then said: "Just tell me the real price. If it's suitable, I can consider it."
