It takes half an hour to drive to a street behind the Forbidden City, which is basically siheyuan.
These quadrangles were basically built in the Qing Dynasty and the Republic of China. Before, the bureaucrats, landlords and rich businessmen lived in large and medium-sized quadrangles.
However, after the end of the Qing Dynasty, great changes have taken place in Chinese society, and the economic situation is deteriorating. Many people who used to live in a single family and courtyard can no longer afford to raise more houses, so they have to rent and sell the surplus houses to supplement their families.
In the past, the single family courtyard began to become a multi family courtyard. It is no longer an exclusive possession, but a multi family real estate.
No matter how difficult it is for quadrangles to keep their former profundity, tranquility, elegance and warmth, it is a common phenomenon that quadrangles are divided, transformed and divided.
Driving into the Hutong, ye Rongrong saw a lot of siheyuan, a courtyard crowded with a lot of people.
After looking at many houses, many are willing to sell, but they are willing to sell, but ye Guangrong is not willing to buy. What ye Guangrong wants to buy is an independent courtyard, not a room in the courtyard.
Ye Guangrong doesn't want to be crowded in a big yard with others. The couple next door quarrel. He can hear clearly.
When ye Guangrong bought the courtyard, he saw the deep, quiet, elegant and warm features of the courtyard.
So as soon as you see a lot of households living in the courtyard, ye Guangrong will turn around and go on to see the next one.
Finally, at the bottom of the Hutong, ye Rongrong found a courtyard with a sign for sale on the door.
"Dean, shall we go in and ask?"
Muyuhan said to Ye Rongrong.
"Good!"
Ye Guangrong nodded and knocked on the door.
Soon, the gate of siheyuan was opened. A white haired old man looked at Ye Guangrong and muyuhan, frowned and asked, "who are you looking for?"
"Sir, is your courtyard yours? We are here to buy it."
Ye Rongrong said directly.
"Come in, then."
Hearing that ye Guangrong came to buy a Siheyuan, the old man invited Ye Guangrong and muyuhan into the house to have a look.
After a visit to the courtyard, although the courtyard is very old, it is well maintained. If it is slightly repaired, it will be very good.
Moreover, the courtyard is divided into two presidents, one in front of the courtyard and the other in the back, with a small garden. It was only before that such a large courtyard could be built in the capital.
In modern times, it is basically impossible to build such a large courtyard in the capital. The land department will not give you approval.
Ye Rongrong is basically very satisfied with the courtyard. When the door is closed, the courtyard is an independent space with strong privacy.
"Uncle Zhao, is this courtyard your own?"
Back in the front yard, ye Rongrong asked the old man.
The old man, surnamed Zhao, who sold Siheyuan, was called Uncle Zhao by Ye Guangrong.
"It's mine. This yard is a legacy left by my ancestors. My ancestors were a senior member of the second class in the late Qing Dynasty. A few years ago, my family lived here. Later, all my children went abroad. Now they married and had children abroad. They all settled abroad. Since my wife passed away, I was left alone..."
The old man said to Ye Rongrong.
"This courtyard is very good. Why do you want to sell it, uncle Zhao? Where do you live when you sell this courtyard?"
Muyuhan said doubtfully.
It's not that Mu Yuhan cares about Uncle Zhao, but that he's afraid of any trouble in the future. In case there are other owners of the house, there will be a lawsuit in the future.
"It's not my son and daughter. They are all abroad. They want me to go abroad and enjoy my old age. I'm in my seventies now. Although my hometown is hard to leave, I know I don't have many years to live. If I don't go abroad to live with them, I'm afraid I won't see them in a few years."
Uncle Zhao said with some sadness.
It was a very good thing for our children to have the ability, but when they have the ability, their wings are hard, and they don't listen to their own words, they all emigrate and settle down abroad.
Originally, uncle Zhao was very angry and felt that his children had lost their ancestors. Although the children repeatedly took the old man abroad to enjoy his old age, the old man and his wife did not agree.
It's just that since his wife died the year before last, he left uncle Zhao alone. It's really hard to live alone. Not long ago, uncle Zhao's youngest son gave him a fat grandson.
Uncle Zhao thinks that he is in his seventies. If he does not go abroad to live with his children, he will not see his little grandson.
After thinking about it, uncle Zhao decided to go abroad to live with his children.
As soon as he went abroad, uncle Zhao knew that it was not possible to return home again. He wanted to sell the courtyard and exchange it for money.
After all, the consumption level in foreign countries is much higher than that in China, and their children's life abroad is not very good. They can also help them by changing the yard into money and taking it with them."Uncle Zhao, I don't know how much you want to buy. If it's suitable, I'll buy it."
Ye Rongrong said.
"As you know, Siheyuan is very valuable now. The prices are very high."
Listening to Ye Rongrong's willingness to buy the courtyard, uncle Zhao couldn't help but be happy.
You know, uncle Zhao wanted to go abroad to see his little grandson at the beginning of the year, but he couldn't sell the courtyard.
Although this kind of old-fashioned courtyard is very valuable now, there are too few people who can afford it at such a high price. Anyway, few people have come to ask about it since uncle Zhao sold it. Many of them turn around and leave as soon as they hear that the price is more than 100 million yuan.
"Give me a price. I'll take it if it's right. If it's not right, I'll forget it."
Ye Rongrong said.
"This..."
Uncle Zhao hesitated for fear that he would be given a higher price. Ye Rongrong, like the others who looked at the house in front of him, turned around and left. However, when he was given a lower price, uncle Zhao felt that he was losing money.
Ye Guangrong didn't urge him to think for himself. After all, he couldn't do it.
After hesitating for a long time, uncle Zhao looked at Ye Rongrong and said, "at least 150 million yuan. A few years ago, the courtyard on the side was smaller than mine. I bought 130 million yuan. My courtyard is much bigger than his. If I didn't want to change money to go abroad, I would not sell it."
150 million?
Ye Rongrong is stunned. The price is really beyond Ye Rongrong's expectation. It's not that the price is too high, but that the price is a little low.
Take the villa I just saw for example. The price is only 300 million yuan. According to geographical location and land area, it's not as good as the courtyard.
But ye Rongrong thought about it and understood why Mr. Zhao gave the price.
Although the price of these quadrangles is very high in the market, the actual turnover is very small. Obviously, there is no market for them, and few people are willing to pay a high price for them.
This has something to do with the nature of the courtyard. Although the courtyard in Beijing is a private property, it is also a national protective building. It is not allowed to be demolished and built without permission, which makes the use of the courtyard very narrow.
This makes many real estate developers and real estate speculators are not optimistic about the courtyard, are not willing to spend a lot of money to buy the courtyard.
And now young people are used to living in that kind of modern house, and they have no love for the old-fashioned house like siheyuan.
This also makes the quadrangle empty have high price, but can't sell out.
"Mr. Zhao, although the price of these courtyard houses looks very high, they have a price but no market. They can't be sold. The price of 150 million yuan is a little high. But you are also in a hurry to use money. I won't bargain with you, but I have a request."
After thinking about it, ye Rongrong said to Uncle Zhao.
"You say, you say!"
As soon as Uncle Zhao heard that ye Rongrong accepted the price he offered, he immediately said excitedly.
If we can sell 150 million yuan, uncle Zhao will be really satisfied.
With so much money, it's a wonderful time to go abroad.
"I don't have any special requirements. You have to keep all the furniture and furnishings in this house. I like these old things very much."
Ye Rongrong said.
"There's no problem with that."
Uncle Zhao nodded and said.
I'm going abroad now, and there's no way to take away the furniture and furnishings in the yard. Even if I sell them to buy rags, they're not worth a lot of money.
Everything is settled. Uncle Zhao takes the formalities and certificates and takes Ye Rongrong to the street to go through the formalities. After all, it involves quadrangles. Ye Rongrong doesn't want to make any mistakes.
This is a property worth hundreds of millions of yuan, so as to avoid any disputes in the future. Now we must go through these procedures at one time.
This street office, all these Siheyuan information, is uncle Zhao's house, property right, there can query.
And in the street office transactions, you can avoid a lot of trouble, in the future when the transfer, also convenient a lot.
In fact, the procedures are very cumbersome, or uncle Zhao has lived here for decades, and everyone in the street knows him, and the street helps him, but obviously it can't be done in a day or two.
Ye Rongrong is not in a hurry. He just leaves this matter to Mu Yuhan. He only needs to pay until the end.
There's no need to run errands every day on this matter. Ye Guangrong doesn't have that time and leisure.
"Let's go. You've been busy all day. I'll invite you to dinner."
From the street office, ye Rongrong said to Mu Yuhan.
"Dean, that's what you said. I'm not polite. I'll choose the expensive one."
Muyuhan said to Ye Rongrong with a smile.
"It doesn't matter if it's expensive. The key is to be delicious."
Ye Rongrong said.
"Let's go to eat hot pot. I know there is a hot pot restaurant in Beijing. It's very delicious. People who have eaten it say it's delicious."Muyuhan thought and said.
"OK, I'll have hot pot."
Anyway, I'll invite Mu Yuhan to dinner today. She'll make up her mind.
