The film and television city starts from the courtyard

After hearing this, Zhu Shanshan quickly took out the prepared map and a pen and handed it to Uncle Zhang.

Uncle Zhang looked at Zhu Shanshan and thought that this little girl was very perceptive. He then drew a few circles on the map and said, "Look for these places. They should be there."

Zhu Shanshan excitedly put the map away, but Fang Sijin was a little skeptical. Could this plain-looking old man really help them? You know, Zhu Shanshan and I have been to many places during this period, but they haven't found it. How can this man determine the area just by looking at the map?
After leaving Uncle Zhang's house, Zhu Shanshan asked, "Aunt Xu, how did Uncle Zhang know that there might be suitable houses in these places?"

Zhao Shucheng said: "Uncle Zhang has been a postman in this area for more than 40 years. He has traveled all over the streets and alleys. He is a living map of the area."

"Great, shall we go check it out now?"

Zhao Shucheng said, "You guys go take a look first. If you find a suitable one, come back to sort out the information and then contact Lin Maogen."

Zhu Shanshan looked at Zhao Shucheng with some admiration and said, "Aunt, I admire you more and more. You know such an amazing person."

"That's nothing. Okay, I should go back to the store. You guys go by yourselves!"

In fact, Zhao Shucheng himself also knew these old villas. After all, he had been working with old villas for so many years that he had visited almost all the old villas, big and small, in Shanghai and had his own database.

However, Zhao Shucheng still hopes that they can run the race themselves so that they can have a deep impression and understand how difficult it is.

Zhu Shanshan and Fang Sijin followed the map and soon found a house that met their requirements, but the other party directly asked for 500 yuan as a viewing fee.

Zhu Shanshan was so angry that she told Zhao Shucheng about it directly.

After Zhao Shucheng found out where they were, he told Zhu Shanshan that there was no need to go into the old house because it had serious historical problems and unclear property rights, so it was impossible to trade.

Zhu Shanshan didn't expect that the house she had finally found could not be traded, and she was a little discouraged. However, she thought that there were still a few places on the map that she hadn't visited, so she encouraged herself and continued to look for it with Fang Sijin.

The effort paid off, and they finally found Xiang Mansion, which was similar to Yin Mansion. They also met Geng Yunlai, who was helping Xiang's family look for houses, and learned some information about Xiang Mansion, and felt that this house was in line with Lin Maogen's needs.

The exterior shape is what Lin Maogen wanted, a small red building with a large terrace, high gables and a black iron gate.

The inheritance of Xiang Mansion also meets the needs. The owner of Xiang Mansion, Xiang Yurong, was the tea king of Shanghai back then. It was the villa where the king lived that Lin Maogen wanted.

However, there are two problems that need to be solved. The Xiang family moved abroad and has not returned for more than 70 years. During this period, they only sent two letters, and then they lost their whereabouts and did not know whether they were dead or alive. If the owner cannot be contacted, there is naturally no way to trade.

What is more important is that when he went abroad with his family, he gave two rooms in the villa to Geng Yunlai's grandfather Geng Changqing, so if he sold the house, he would also have to face the issue of property division.

This is unlike the Gong Family Garden, which was the Gong Family's own property from beginning to end, and they could sell it if they wanted to. Not to mention the Gong Family's house, which was almost ruined because of the cousins ​​who took it in, and the situation of Xiang Mansion was more complicated.

After Zhu Shanshan and the others came back, they told Zhao Shucheng about the situation and asked, "Aunt, we found the old house that Uncle Lin wanted, but the situation is so complicated. What should we do next?"

Zhao Shucheng said: "It will be easy once we find it. The next step is to sort out the ownership of the house, especially the real estate certificate."

Just when Fang Sijin was about to say something, her former customer, Mr. Huang, came. After 49 days, he finally had to move out.

He planned to sell this haunted house and buy another one that met her needs, so he came to Fang Sijin again this time, hoping to give both orders to Fang Sijin.

Fang Sijin was naturally very happy about the business, but her main focus now was on the old house, so she let Zhu Shanshan take charge of selling the house. After printing the flyers, she asked Zhu Shanshan to distribute them in places like hospitals or funeral homes.

Zhu Shanshan has already told Zhao Shucheng about the situation at Xiang Mansion, and also told him that Geng Yunlai and his three generations of grandparents and grandchildren have been guarding Xiang Mansion and maintaining it all the time just because of a promise.

Zhao Shucheng said: "I didn't expect that there are still such trustworthy people in this era."

Although Zhao Shucheng admired such people, he couldn't do it himself, so naturally he didn't want people like Geng Yunlai to be let down in the end.

You have to know that it is not as simple as it sounds for the Geng family to guard Xiang Mansion for three generations. From the founding of the People's Republic of China to the present, there have been many ups and downs, but Xiang Mansion has always been guarded by Geng Yunlai's family. You can imagine how difficult it is.

You should know that there are more than 2,000 old houses in Shanghai, but only about 200 can be traded now. This is because due to historical reasons, most of the old houses have been occupied or divided up. The property rights are dispersed, so transactions are very difficult.

Also because of their age, the property rights of these houses have become a mess. Especially after the introduction of real estate certificates in the 1990s, the property rights have been dispersed among the residents. The original owners can no longer take back the houses and can only remain in a stalemate.

The Geng family was able to withstand the pressure and occupy and guard the Xiang Mansion as a family. Perhaps only they themselves knew the hardships involved.

To be honest, if the Geng family had a little selfishness and took advantage of the opportunity to change the land deed to the property certificate to completely occupy the Xiang Mansion, no one would say anything wrong. After all, in the 70 years of history, the Xiang family has never appeared, which means that they themselves thought that the Xiang Mansion could not be saved and gave up the Xiang Mansion. Even if the Geng family took it for themselves, no one could say anything wrong.

What's more, the Xiang family previously held a land deed, which indeed had no age limit. However, as early as the 1990s, after the land deed was replaced with the real estate certificate, the land deed no longer had legal effect. Coupled with issues such as the expiration of the land use right, it is somewhat doubtful whether the Xiang Mansion belongs to the Xiang family.

Of course, Zhao Shucheng would not ask Geng Yunlai to directly occupy Xiang Mansion and trade with Lin Maogen to avoid his family getting to know the news and coming back to harass him. However, he also hoped that this transaction could resolve the hidden dangers as soon as possible and complete the transaction as soon as possible.

Before Zhao Shucheng could explain things to Zhu Shanshan, Zhu Shanshan was arranged by Fang Sijin to distribute flyers, while she discussed with Zhao Shucheng what to do next.

"Since we know that this old house belongs to the Xiang family, there are three things we need to do. First, find a way to contact Xiang Yurong's descendants. Second, confirm the legality and validity of this gift certificate. Third, before contacting the Xiang family, let Geng Yunlai represent the Xiang family to exchange the land deed for the real estate certificate. After confirming that the gift is legal, issue a separate real estate certificate for the house that belongs to them."

Fang Sijin was stunned for a moment after hearing this, and said, "Is it necessary to apply for a separate property certificate?" "Of course it is necessary. If we don't help Geng Yunlai and his family, then Lin Maogen will sign a contract with Xiang's family in private, and Geng Yunlai and his family may be kicked out. Their interests cannot be protected. If a lawsuit is filed, this business may encounter twists and turns. So it is better to clarify the property rights from the beginning and let Lin Maogen pay separately to avoid trouble."

"Then how do we find Xiang's family? They left the country before the founding of the People's Republic of China. They have only sent two letters in all these years, and they are not even to the same address. Isn't it like looking for a needle in a haystack for us to find them?"

Fang Sijin frowned and continued, "Also, how can we ensure the validity and legality of this gift certificate?"

Zhao Shucheng said: "Do you still think the old house business is easy? If you can't solve these two problems, then you'd better not do the old house business in the future."

When Fang Sijin heard Zhao Shucheng say this, she knew that Zhao Shucheng was testing her, so she could only say, "I know, I will try my best."

Zhao Shucheng said: "Since the gift deed has been signed, there can't be only one copy. Instead, there should be three copies. One copy is given to the family, one is in the hands of the Geng family, and the other copy should be in the hands of the guarantor. What we need to do is to find the second copy to ensure that this gift deed is authentic and valid."

"Okay, I know how to do it."

"Also, since the Xiang family is abroad and both addresses are in the same country, they must have settled in this country. Since their family was once the tea king, as long as their descendants are not prodigals who live a life of idleness and wait for death, then their family must still be doing business. So the direction to find is to see if there are any Chinese or overseas Chinese doing business in the local area with the surname Xiang. I think they will not change their names, so it is relatively easy to find them."

Fang Sijin heard what Zhao Shucheng said and said hesitantly, "What if they meet a prodigal son and their family really becomes ordinary people?"

"The only option is to place an advertisement in the local newspaper, or find someone else. If you can't find someone, then the house cannot be sold, so you can only find another suitable house for Lin Maogen."

After hearing this, Fang Sijin could only hope that her family members still existed and were easy to find, otherwise she would have run around for nothing for so many days.

Zhao Shucheng actually didn't tell Fang Sijin that the most troublesome thing was not finding the person, but the property rights of the house. The Xiang family's older generation gave the Geng family a house, but now the Xiang family may not be willing to abide by it. After all, the Xiang family's business is not doing well now, and the amount of the old house is very large. Geng Yunlai's two houses are worth tens of millions, and it is very likely that they are unwilling to give them to Geng Yunlai, just like in the original plot.

Fang Sijin had already thought about the property rights issue and said, "If we find Xiang's family and make it clear that the gift is valid, do we need to apply for a separate property certificate for Geng Yunlai and his family? In fact, if it is a one-time transaction, it may be more convenient and will also help maintain the integrity of the property rights of the old foreign house."

Zhao Shucheng looked at Fang Sijin and said, "If it were you, would you be willing to give your family's money to other people for nothing? Geng Yunlai's two houses are worth tens of millions. If it were you, would you be willing to give them up?"

"You're not reluctant to part with it, right? After all, if it weren't for the three generations of the Geng family guarding it, this Xiang Mansion would have been occupied by someone else, or it would have collapsed or been damaged. The Xiang family can make at least a few hundred million by selling this house, so giving them 10 or 20 million is not a big deal, right? Besides, Geng Yunlai and his family have been maintaining it for so many years, so they should give them some maintenance fees."

"Haha, do you think all rich people are so conscientious? Being rich but unkind, this isn't the first time you've heard of this phrase, right? Just like Zhai Yunxiao asked you to do something, but he was reluctant to buy you a real bag. Do you think Xiang's family is much better than Zhai Yunxiao?"

Hearing what Zhao Shucheng said, Fang Sijin smiled awkwardly. Now Zhai Yunxiao was simply her nightmare.

At this time, Xie Tingfeng walked in leisurely and said, "Do you want to hear some shocking gossip?"

"miss you!"

"According to unreliable information, Vice President Zhai who came to our store last time is about to become the son-in-law of President An's family."

"Is it true? Who told you that?"

Xie Tingfeng said: "It must be true."

Zhu Shanshan asked curiously: "Have you seen that woman? Who is prettier, me or her?"

Xie Tingfeng said: "You are a little cuter than her."

Fang Sijin didn't expect to hear this news just after she mentioned Zhai Yunxiao. At this moment, the little good impression she had for Zhai Yunxiao was finally gone. What was left was only the relationship between superior and subordinate, and the task he assigned to her.

Fang Sijin saw Zhu Shanshan was still in the store, and immediately said angrily: "Zhu Shanshan, why haven't you distributed flyers yet?"

"I'll go there in a minute. Am I not checking the information of the old house?"

"Don't worry about this for now. There are many problems with this house. After you finish distributing the flyers, I will tell you what happened during this period. But this house needs to be sold as soon as possible."

When Zhu Shanshan saw Fang Sijin like this and Zhao Shucheng nodded, she took the flyers, put on the doll costume, and prepared to distribute the flyers.

Before leaving, Fang Sijin taught Zhu Shanshan a few words of advice, hoping that Zhu Shanshan could find suitable clients as soon as possible.

Zhao Shucheng looked at the other people busy in the store, smiled, and then got up and left.

Of course, it was not to help Zhu Shanshan or Fang Sijin find information about Xiang Mansion. Instead, he went directly to the vegetable market, bought some vegetables, and then went straight home.

After all, Zhang Chengcheng was pregnant with his child, and she hadn't done anything to let him down yet. So today was Zhang Chengcheng's birthday, and Zhao Shucheng specially cooked a meal for her to celebrate her birthday.

Zhang Chengcheng didn't expect that Zhao Shucheng actually remembered her birthday and even cooked for her personally. She was so touched.

But after finishing the meal, Zhang Chengcheng saw Zhao Shucheng preparing to go to the guest room to rest, so she took Zhao Shucheng's hand and said, "Brother, it's been three months now, the doctor said it's ok..."

Zhao Shucheng saw Zhang Chengcheng like this, of course he understood what she meant, in order to prevent her from being unsatisfied and doing something to let him down, Zhao Shucheng of course had to make her completely satisfied. (End of this chapter)
