Chapter 146 Bird's Paradise (asking for double monthly tickets)
With the property certificate, Qi Hao set off according to the address above.

The Houhai area.

There are indeed many courtyard houses here.

However, most of the courtyard houses have become slums, some are abandoned, and only a very small number are sold to the public.

In fact, I feel a little excited when I think about it.

Foreign tourists may think that the Siheyuan area is a slum, but we Chinese people know what it represents.

Qi Hao was worried before that it might be a Hegang courtyard house, but now there is really no need to go and see it.

Qi Hao found the target by looking at the house number.

A quadrangle with two entrances.

Second entry...

I'm still a little disappointed. Can't the dog system be more powerful? Will I die if I'm given a big house with five entrances and two cross courtyards?

I wouldn’t mind if you gave me Prince Gong’s Mansion.

I'm embarrassed to talk about this rubbish like the two-courtyard courtyard house.

However, compared with those closed structures deep in the alleys, the entrance of this courtyard with two entrances is quite spacious and the foyer is quite grand.

There are two big elm trees at the gate and a piece of open space. If the land is hardened, it will be enough to park a few cars.

However, now they are all planted with various shrubs and fenced.

It is now the end of February, and the grass and trees are still withered.

Without these shrubs, your front door would quickly become a parking lot for your neighbors.

Don't ever think that doing so will make things convenient for yourself by making things convenient for others.

You don't use the house now, so you can let them park there as you like. But when you use the house and ask them to give up their space, they will immediately become enemies.

It’s okay to do good things, but don’t be a saint.

Qi Hao looked at the door and took out the key from his pocket. The door, which had been unattended for many years, made a creaking sound and slowly moved back.

Dust was flying and the smell of bird droppings and rotten leaves was overwhelming.

Qi Hao carried his bicycle in and closed the door behind him.

How long has it been since anyone came to this yard?

Not only were the buildings covered in dust, stains, and bird droppings, but the courtyard was also filled with dead grass and tree branches. It was hard to tell whether the ground was soil or hardened.

If it weren't winter now, you might not even be able to see the screen wall.

Walk to the screen wall and turn around to see the entrance to the courtyard.

The front yard is quite large.

There are five rooms in the back house, and a side room on each side.

Two huge Sophora japonica trees stand in the front yard, echoing the elm tree outside the gate in the distance, and there are several black bird nests on each of them.

No wonder there's bird poop everywhere.

It seems that this yard has become a bird paradise, right?

The yard was also filled with all kinds of dead grass, small trees and shrubs, and there was almost no place to step.

With a "whoosh", something seemed to rush out from beside me.

Looking closely, it turned out to be a tabby cat.

Qi Hao was startled and used his hand to hold onto a small tree, only to feel a hand full of fresh bird droppings.

Damn it!

Dog system, you are so capable, can’t you give me a tidy courtyard?
Qi Hao walked carefully over the dead branches and leaves and opened the colorfully painted hanging flower door.

The inside was also in a dilapidated state.

Although it was not in ruins, the yard was overgrown with weeds and the house was full of holes. It did not look like a wealthy family at all.

I don’t know if it’s because of the water system, or bird or cat poop, but there’s a faint stench in the yard.

Big...quite big.

The main house has a three plus two layout, and the east and west wing rooms each have three large rooms.

Including the one in front, there are a total of seventeen and a half houses. Half of the room near the entrance is occupied by the gate, and the other small half becomes a gatehouse.

Qi Hao hurriedly took out the property certificate and took a look at the area.

It covers an area of ​​973 square meters and has a construction area of ​​515 square meters.

For a courtyard house with two entrances, this area is very good. Many courtyard houses with three entrances may not have such a large area.

Qi Hao had a bunch of keys in his hand. He searched for them and opened the door.

The house is empty!

Oh my god, what about furniture made of nanmu, ebony, and huanghuali?

There's not even a stool here.

Qi Hao opened the rooms one by one and was completely dumbfounded.

Not to mention the stool, there's not even a chip of wood.

There are no antique paintings, calligraphy, gold, silver or jewelry...

Moreover, many window panes were broken, making the room full of dust.

A bird, two birds... chirping, a cat, two cats... some were running around, some were arching their backs and growling at people... Qi Hao even found a litter of kittens in a room with a broken window.

How much will it cost to clean up this house?

Qi Hao was torn between cleaning up and not cleaning up.

If it is cleaned up, it would be great to live here in spring, autumn or even summer. My parents can also come here to stay for a few days when they retire.

But if you really want to get it to your ideal state, you'll have to spend at least 80 million.

Qi Hao is not pursuing any high-end wood, but you have decorated this place entirely with composite panels, which is indeed a waste of resources.

As for selling it directly... Qi Hao really couldn't bear to do it.

Seeing that Aunt Hua might be going public this year, it seems that she is not that short of money.

He looked the yard over and over and called Lao Tian.

Over the years, it has become Qi Hao's habit to go to Lao Tian when he has something to do.

"Old Tian, ​​I have a courtyard house. You can ask a professional company to come over and take a look and come up with a renovation plan."

"Are you finally thinking of cleaning up that shabby yard of yours?"

Obviously, besides Qi Hao himself, even Old Tian knew that he had bought a courtyard house a long time ago. "Well, clean it up."

"If you had cleaned it up earlier, why would we have to rent someone else's office building? I'll help you find someone later."

Obviously, Old Tian has always agreed with Qi Hao cleaning up the yard.

"Can you cut down the tree? There are bird nests on it and they poop down there."

Qi Hao's hands still stink, and the smell can't be washed off even with the purified water he brought.

He held a grudge and wanted to confiscate the property of these stupid birds.

"Forget it," Lao Tian said bluntly, "If you dare to cut down those trees, they will catch you. There are iron plates nailed to the trees. There are five old trees in total, and you can't touch any of them."

"Can the bird be roasted?" Qi Hao raised his head in silence, tears almost rolling down his eyes.

"Alas, I don't know what kind of bird it is, but I guess it's a protected species. If you poked a bird's nest and someone reported you, they could give you a reward of 2,000 to 5,000 yuan. Don't ask me how I know that."

Old Tian also let out a long sigh on the other end of the phone.

Nowadays, even sparrows and toads are protected animals.

You are just a small star, how can you have the confidence to take advantage of others?

Qi Hao even turned to the system for help.

The system naturally ignored his unreasonable request.

If you dislike the birds, they will dislike you too. Once the construction starts in this yard, it will definitely be a disaster for the indigenous people.

There was really no other way, Qi Hao could only mutter to himself: "Actually, I quite like birds. Having birds at home is auspicious."

Birds choose to build nests in a certain place usually because the feng shui of that place is good and the aura is strong. Birds are very sensitive to the environment, and the places they choose are generally warm, safe and free of evil spirits.

If there are birds building nests in the home, it usually indicates good fortune for the family.

The more I thought about it, the better it seemed. Even the smell of bird droppings left on my hands dissipated a lot.

There is no need to get rid of the stray cats in the yard.

At the beginning, Aobai was also a stray cat adopted by Qi Hao and Lao Tian.

Qi Hao also climbed up the tree in the yard and looked at the neighbors on both sides.

The jujube tree in the main courtyard is very old and has a "Y"-shaped structure. It is not a challenge at all for Qi Hao, who has been good at climbing trees since he was a child.

The house on the left doesn't seem to be occupied, but it's not as deserted as Qi Hao's house. It's obviously been cleaned up.

The house on the right looks like someone is living there.

Their house is even bigger than Qi Hao's, and is a typical courtyard house with three entrances and four courtyards.

If you can live in such a location and have a house of this size, you cannot be poor.

There are no high-rise buildings around. Squatting on the tree, Qi Hao can see Houhai Lake up close. No wonder these birds like to build nests there.

Got it, got it.

After looking around the courtyard, Qi Hao left. In this courtyard, there was no place to rest, and it could even be said that there was not even a place to sit.

He pushed his bicycle out the door and locked it with a chain.

Then he rode away on his bike.

Many times, there are no parking spaces in the city center of the capital, so Qi Hao often places a folding bicycle in the trunk of his car.

This time when Qi Hao came back, in addition to visiting the Siheyuan, he also planned to sign two endorsements.

One is the endorsement of skin care products. The price of 800 million for two years is really attractive. Qi Hao and more than a dozen people from the studio tried their products for two weeks. They had different body shapes and skin types, so the effect was not obvious, but there were no problems using them.

At present, Van Loon still has the highest endorsement fee.

As the recognized number one in the entertainment industry, he tops the list of male stars with a net worth of 1400 million per two years.

Of course, we are talking about normal endorsements here.

If it is a scam like health supplement, slimming tea, etc., then the price will be out of control.

Liu Dehua gets 1000 million for two years, Takeshi Kaneshiro and Xie Tingfeng both get 600 million for two years, and Qi Hao's worth is also in this range.

However, since he doesn't endorse many things, there is usually a premium on this basis.

After the financial crisis, celebrity endorsement prices dropped significantly, and the quotes from brokerage teams were usually inflated.

The reality is that most of the popular artists in mainland China do not exceed 300 million, and those in Hong Kong and Taiwan are slightly higher, with only a few able to exceed 500 million.

Only international Chinese stars can earn more than 900 million.

Qi Hao previously endorsed spicy snacks for 700 million yuan over two years, which was a premium behavior for a low-end product.

This time, the offer was 800 million for two years, which can be said to be the biggest benefit from "Chinese Paladin 3".

Other actors in "Legend of Sword and Fairy 3" have also improved to a certain extent.

However, the endorsement fees for Yang Mi, Tang Yan and Liu Shishi are unlikely to exceed 300 million in a short period of time.

After all, An Feng and Zhou Xun only have around 500 million.

Qi Hao’s second endorsement is for cars.

He had a car endorsement before, but it expired and was not renewed.

The model endorsed this time is Volkswagen Passat.

The endorsement fee is 750 million/two years.

Maybe it’s because Qi Hao has been driving a Volkswagen Santana, which has earned him recognition from the brand.

I would rather drive a Santana than drive a Rolls-Royce Phantom.

The crowd was almost moved to tears.

Passat and Santana are both models of the Volkswagen brand. The Passat produced by SAIC is the B5, which is the fifth generation Passat, while the one released and introduced by FAW is the Passat B6, which was renamed "Magotan".

In fact, the Passat on the road is the Passat B2, which was manufactured by Volkswagen in the 80s, later introduced to China, and also produced in Brazil.

Santana 2000 and Santana 3000 are improved versions of Pusang in China.

Cars are considered high-end products, so the endorsement fees are relatively conservative.

Of course, not all car models have low endorsement fees. The domestic Mazda 6 Ruiyi offered Phelps a high price of 2000 million to be the endorsement.

An international sports superstar, eight-time Olympic gold medalist, he deserves it!
However, less than a month after the two parties signed the contract, that is, in February this year, the British media exposed Phelps's "maternity photos". On the same day, Phelps honestly admitted it and felt "regretful" for it.

Ruiyi’s commercials have already started airing, and the negative impact can be imagined.

Mazda lost miserably.

Qi Hao has two new endorsements, one for 800 million/two years and the other for 750 million/two years, which shows that his commercial value has reached this stage and has stabilized.

With these two endorsements, Qi Hao's financial pressure was finally relieved.
