my gilded age

Chapter 70 Bought a Yard

""17 Years Old Bicycle" won the Silver Bear Award!"

"Wang Xiaoshuai talked about his journey of winning the award."

"Unknown young actor Bai Shiqiu unexpectedly won the Asian Rising Star Award..."

To the north of Yinding Bridge is Houhai. It is already a bit warm in Beijing in late February. Bai Shiqiu is still wearing his down jacket. On his feet are the AJ2 black and red that he has been using for commercials and basketball, and a simple pair of jeans, which are clean. , energetic, walking on the riverside, holding some newspapers and reading.

"These editors, have you made a mistake? I, Lao Bai, have become an unknown actor?" I couldn't help but complain in my heart.

By the way, I have been back for a few days, and the speed of this traditional media is indeed very slow.Let's just talk about the Internet. Now some netizens are asking, is Bai Shiqiu, the award-winning actor in Berlin, the iron man in "Lu Deshui"?
As for that netizen, it’s Zhang Hangqi, I won’t go into details.

When he came to a stop outside a courtyard wall, Bai Shiqiu looked at the mottled eyes and his ears were not idle.

"I said, why are you, an old guy, so stubborn? The money they gave you is pretty good, so you can leave when you need to!"

"Go? Where are you going?"

"Go north, to the Asian Games Village or something."

"Yes, how can we live in this house now? It leaks rain in the summer and air leaks in the winter. It doesn't even have a hut. And I've heard that our area will not be demolished!"

"Not dismantled?"

"I really don't want to dismantle it! What we are given here is Level [-]. What kind of document is it called? I can't even remember it, but the worst part is that no one cares about it."

The quarrel between several people gave Lao Bai a feeling of déjà vu.

It is now 2001, and there is something going on, which is the renovation of some old and dilapidated buildings in the capital.

In fact, you can know a little bit about the problem of old and dilapidated houses by watching the movie "17 Years Old Bicycle". The movie unabashedly shows the Beijing hutong culture, that is, the courtyard culture. In the movie, it is really dirty and messy, and the people's income is still low. Low, isn't 'Jian' just for the 500 yuan to buy a car, that's all, his family can't afford it.

The old bungalows and courtyards in the capital are indeed a big problem right now. The number of dilapidated houses is increasing every year, and the rate is very fast. Last year, [-]% of the houses were dilapidated, and this year, at least [-]% of them were dilapidated. This has even attracted the attention of senior officials.

In July last year, a policy was issued to turn many places in the capital into historical and cultural protected areas. This area of ​​​​Shichahai is a protected area, but it is divided into five levels. In other words, some are historical sites and some are not.But the one in front of Bai Shiqiu, the courtyard wall is older, and the carved beams and painted pillars don't exist.

At this time, the banging door opened and a person came out.

"..." Bai Shiqiu said nothing.

"What are you looking at!" The man was quite arrogant.

"Oh, it's nothing." Bai Shiqiu was still quite polite, just smiled.

The man couldn't say anything, he seemed to be in a hurry to go to the toilet.

However, looking at the man's anxious expression, Bai Shiqiu kept smiling on his face and seemed to feel confident.

"Old White!"

"Brother Wang."

"Oh, I miss my brother so much!"

"Brother Wang, um... be gentle."

Wang Feng is here. It seems that he is in a good mood today. He wears a pair of big leather pants and a down jacket. He can feel both cold and hot.The two chatted for a long time, especially when they asked about Bai Shiqiu's experience in Germany, so Bai Shiqiu briefly talked about his journey of winning the award, which aroused Wang Feng's eyes, especially when he talked about the movie about Sicily.

"This house..."

"Brother Wang, I will be your brother in a moment."

"Oh~~Haha...you are such a thief, well, you are my brother after all."

Wang Feng smiled, and at this time, the man who had just gone to the toilet came back.

"Hey, you're looking for a house? Can you make a reservation today?" This was addressed to Wang Feng.

"I'm looking at it for a boss. Let's talk about it after we get in." Wang Feng answered more naturally.

Bai Shiqiu secretly gave him a thumbs up.

"Then go in."

The three people entered the small courtyard.

When Bai Shiqiu looked at it this way, it was similar to the courtyards he had seen in filming.The so-called Zayuan and Siheyuan actually have a certain relationship. The predecessor of Zaiyuan is Siheyuan, but the Siheyuan used to be a single-family house. And there is such a courtyard in the capital, especially in the Shichahai area, which is so close to the imperial city. It is definitely not the case. normal person.

There are many princes and nobles near Shichahai, such as Prince Gong's Mansion, Seng Gelinqin, let's just say Zhongxi. Some of them are the residences of Jin Yunpeng, a high-ranking official in Beiyang.

Later, in the new society, most of the original owners were overthrown, and of course the houses had to be divided up.

As a result, many courtyards turned into large courtyards. Later, more and more people flocked here, and the large courtyards became even more unbearable. Many were built privately and randomly, and the ancient buildings became increasingly impure.

Bai Shiqiu came today for one purpose. He came to buy a house.

"Then the house watchers from the old Liu family and the old Hong family are here." The person from before quickly called the people out.

This yard is really not big, but it looks very modern.

When he was still in Germany, Bai Shiqiu entrusted Wang Feng with one thing, which was to look at the house. Anyway, Bai Shiqiu said that he would never treat his brother badly. Wang Feng was naturally very concerned about it. Anyway, his recent music affairs It's also quite sad.

What kind of house should I buy?

At the beginning, Bai Shiqiu thought of just buying one.

The current house price in the Asian Games Village is only 4500 per square meter, which is extremely cheap. How many times will it have to increase if it becomes affordable in the future?
But this goal was set when Bai Shiqiu had 20 yuan. When he was in Germany, he already had 80 yuan. Can he set a big goal?
Can I buy a courtyard house?
Bai Shiqiu remembered that the price of a courtyard house in the future would be in units of [-] million.

But Wang Feng soon told Bai Shiqiu that if you don’t have 300 to [-] million yuan, don’t even think about the current courtyard house. Moreover, you can’t buy it. The latest regulations require you to have a Beijing household registration.

Bai Shiqiu was dumbfounded when he heard this. He remembered that people from other places would definitely be able to buy it in the future, even foreigners. There must be a change in policy.

However, Wang Feng soon said that the courtyard seems to be okay, that is, 40 to [-] yuan.

When Bai Shiqiu heard this, he got excited. His family had experienced this kind of thing before, and the renovation and demolition of old houses in the capital gave him the opportunity.

The goal has been raised again.

I want the one from Houhai.

Then I carefully studied the latest documents, and then I found such a yard that I should be able to buy.

The current courtyard is actually not big, with three families and eight or nine people.

"I said, how much will you pay now?"

"This is a good house! Have you ever heard of the second cousin of his youngest son's wife? Their family used to live here!" "Yes, this can be considered a historical site."

It’s really a mess and a lot of chatter.

Wang Feng was a local, and his big leather pants were very impressive. He immediately slapped the table, "You three, don't go too far! This is a shabby house. Our big boss said, 50!"

At this time, it was already time to bargain. Bai Shiqiu was introduced by Wang Feng as his younger brother. This guy just watched from the sidelines without speaking.

In fact, this is the only bad thing about taking over a large courtyard, because there is more than one household.

50 is considered a premium. This kind of dilapidated house is just like this these days. It doesn't even have a toilet and was built privately. What else can it do?

"Too little!"

"The house is sold, where will we go?"

"On average, a family's share is less than 20."

If they don't agree, Wang Feng will naturally argue with them over there. We have already paid a premium here, so what else can we do?

At this time, Bai Shiqiu felt that it was almost done, so he patted Brother Wang on the shoulder. Wang Feng understood instantly and stepped back directly.

Bai Shiqiu came out and said, "Can you three families allow me to say a word?"

"You, aren't you his brother?"

"Yes! What did you mix in?"

When people from these three families saw Bai Shiqiu as a child, they didn't take him seriously. Isn't this the younger brother of Mr. Wang in front of them?

But Bai Shiqiu smiled at this time and said: "I understand this matter roughly now. Brother, let's go to another house to have a look?"

He was about to leave, and he was holding Wang Feng.

These three families are a little confused, but some people are pretending to be smart.

"What do you mean? Do you want to use other companies to suppress us? Hehe~ I really don't believe it. Can these other companies be lower than us?"

"This is a historical site!"

Bai Shiqiu couldn't help it anymore, "According to the latest documents, your courtyard is at least Level [-]. To put it bluntly, your courtyard is in the Hutong Cultural Reserve. What kind of historical monuments are you fooling?"

Who would have thought that this guy has a good reputation.

"Wait a minute!" One of the three families was an old man, "You kid can make the decision?"

Only then did Bai Shiqiu turn around and smile: "You have a clear eye and a bright heart."

Wang Feng was even more sharp-eyed. He had seen the newspaper that Lao Bai was holding before and took a photo of it. "Did you see it? This is my brother Bai Shiqiu. He just won an award in Germany!"

"what?"

"This kid... is not simple."

To say that this award is quite bluffing.

"Is that the big boss you?" The old man's eyes widened.

"Yes, Brother Wang is indeed my brother, but I am the one who bought the house." Bai Shiqiu admitted openly.

The old man immediately became worried, and other people in the courtyard didn't understand.

"What's the matter?"

"Hey, Old Man Hong, tell me."

After holding it in for a long time, the old man spoke, "We're done."

Everyone was confused upon hearing this.

Bai Shiqiu smiled at this time and said: "Guys, I don't want to use any bad means, just tell me a trick. Old Liu family, I will pay you 30 for your house, will you sell it?"

"This..." The old Liu family over there hesitated immediately.

Obviously, it will sell.

And Bai Shiqiu continued: "You three families are not united at all. I bought the old Liu family's house, and that's enough for me. Anyway, I have to do some things to buy a house, and I need to renovate it, so... I won't talk about it, this method It’s so boring, I really don’t plan to use it. I’ll give you a chance now, the last chance, but you must reach an agreement first.”

This is like an ultimatum, and Mr. Hong has also noticed that the child in front of him has clearly figured out the three families. If he really breaks them down, it will be over.

"You two listen to me! My Hong family has the biggest house in this yard. I will suffer a little loss and share it equally with the big guys!"

Mr. Hong was still very powerful. Finally he narrowed his eyes and asked Bai Shiqiu, "What is the maximum number your kid can produce?"

"60 million!"

Bai Shiqiu just said this, nothing more.

"Okay! That's it!"

……

A bunch of procedures were being completed slowly. At this time, the three of them also had room tickets in their hands. It was a lot of work anyway, but after all, here in Bai Shiqiu, there was no shortage of money.

"I said, Lao Bai, why did you buy such a shabby house? This is not a real historical site. For 60, you can buy it near Lufthansa." Wang Feng didn't understand.

Bai Shiqiu couldn't help but smile on his face. To sum up, it seemed that he had bought a fake courtyard house, but it was just fake.

"I want to open a bar."

"bar?"

"Why don't you, Brother Wang, come over and step in?"

"Can this... make money?"

Houhai is still very quiet at this time...
