Happy Tycoon

This yard is really cheap for Yang Jing, but in fact, when Mike Ale bought this yard, he was still slaughtered.

If it is really calculated according to the prices at that time, even if the location of this yard is good and the area is large, the actual price is only about 300,000 national currency, and this yard still belongs to the public.

However, Yang Jing specifically told Mike Aller at that time that no matter how much the yard costs, it must be taken down. As soon as someone saw a kaizi, could the knife not be sharpened quickly?

But for Yang Jing, not to mention $500,000, even if it's $1 million or $2 million, Yang Jing will let Mike Alle buy it without hesitation.

Because Yang Jing is very clear about what this yard represents in the original time and space, even if you have money, you can't buy this yard!

The most important thing is that Yang Jing wants to buy this yard early, and after a thorough renovation, the yard can be used as a temporary warehouse in the next 30 years. At the very least, no matter whether it is Pete Wu or later Xue Renfa, the old things they bought for themselves all need this yard to preserve. This courtyard occupies a very important position in Yang Jing's grand plan.

When Yang Jing stood in front of this completely rebuilt courtyard, he couldn't help being a little excited.

Fortunately, this is Yanjing, and there are many foreigners. Otherwise, just Yang Jing standing here without moving will attract many people's attention.

After knocking on the door, footsteps could be heard inside. When the door opened, an old man in his fifties and almost sixty appeared in front of Yang Jing.

Ha, hello. Looking for a pot of oil? The old man was obviously hired to look at the gate. The door was smashed open by a foreigner early in the morning. The old man was obviously a little dazed. .

Hi sir, I'm looking for Mr. Wu. Yang Jing saw that the old man had even said you find pot (meaning who are you looking for), so he didn't speak English at all, but directly in Mandarin. Said his own origin.

Yo! You can speak Mandarin? The old man immediately beamed with joy when he heard Yang Jing speak Mandarin fluently.

Wait a minute, I'll go in for you to greet Mr. Wu. The old man welcomed Yang Jing in very politely, and said very politely. Yang Jing's appearance changed by the disguise skill played a big role. In this era, crooked nuts are still very popular in China.

Thank you, sir! Yang Jing said a polite word with a smile.

Hey! You're welcome, you're welcome! You're too polite. The old man cheerfully turned his head and continued to be polite, while walking quickly towards the inside. After a while, a man in his thirties followed the old man. come over.

When the man saw Yang Jing's appearance, he hesitated and asked, You are.

I'm Michael Lynch. You must be Pete Wu, right? Mr. Mike Aller should inform you that I'm coming to Yanjing to find you?

As soon as Yang Jing reported his family name, Pete Wu immediately became extremely respectful. Of course he knew that his boss, Mike Aller, was working for this Michael Lynch in front of him, and this one in front of him was the ultimate big boss.

Both of them spoke Chinese, and the old man on the side was also taken aback. The foreigner who knocked on the door early in the morning turned out to be the big boss!

Pete Wu welcomed Yang Jing in very respectfully. After hearing that the big boss was coming, the other three foreigners hurried out of their respective rooms to meet the mysterious big boss.

Along the way, Yang Jing was also very satisfied when he saw this newly built yard.

This set of courtyards retains the architectural style of Yanjing’s traditional courtyard houses as a whole. The main building, the east and west wing rooms, the inverted room, the back cover room, the ear room, and the skirt room are quite a few. Hanging flower doors, verandahs and verandahs coexist. They are all paved with flat stone slabs, but in the four corners of the yard, there are four small gardens, in which are planted flowers and plants such as crabapple, magnolia, peony, peony, etc., as well as a few small pomegranate trees and persimmon trees , There is also a huge pagoda tree in the middle of the yard.

Boss, this locust tree was just transplanted this spring. It is said that this locust tree is more than 200 years old. At that time, I thought it looked good and the price was right, so I asked the workers to transplant it here. Pete Seeing that the boss was very satisfied with the big locust tree, Wu explained in a low voice.

Yang Jing smiled and nodded. Of course he was satisfied, the old pagoda tree of such an age was planted in this yard, which played a finishing touch. Especially this locust tree is not only old, but also quite beautiful in shape. Although it is winter and there are no leaves on the tree, Yang Jing can also see that once spring and summer come, the huge crown of this old locust tree will Enough to cover the entire yard.

After standing in the yard for a while, Yang Jing walked into the main room, and as soon as he entered the door, a gust of hot air rushed towards him.

Is there a heater installed in the house? Yang Jing asked.

That's right, when we rebuilt this yard last year, according to Mr. Mike Aller's instructions, we installed heating pipes under the floor tiles in the room. house, and a small coal-fired boiler is installed separately to provide heat for all the rooms in this yard.”

Yang Jing nodded again, this kind of geothermal heating was proposed by him. In this era, Yanjing's central heating has not yet been implemented. Yang Jing didn't want to burn a briquette stove in this yard, so he simply built a heating system by himself.

Yang Jing went around the other rooms in the main house and found that there were no people living in these rooms, so he asked, Why don't you live in the main house?

Pete Wu said: Boss, I am a Chinese. There are some rules in our motherland that cannot be broken casually. For example, only the master like you can live in this main house. Those of us who are migrant workers cannot live in it. The main room. Anyway, the condition of the wing room is very good, and it’s great for us to live there.”

As Pete Wu said, after this courtyard house was rebuilt, the interior decoration was considered luxurious even in 2017. All the furniture here was bought from Europe. The purchase of these furniture alone cost more than one million dollars, and the decoration of all the houses in the entire yard cost two million dollars. Counting the $2 million spent on rebuilding and the $500,000 spent on buying the house, the yard cost a total of nearly $5 million.

This is five million dollars in 1981, worth more than fifty million dollars in 2007!

Yang Jing wanted to decorate according to the price of later generations, but in this era, the decoration price of 2 million US dollars is considered the top. Unless Yang Jing wants to be an upstart and decorate with gold and real money

Yang Jing doesn't want to be such a tasteless person.

Peter, the four of you can live in the main house in the future. You know that I am quite proficient in Chinese civilization. I know that if no one lives in a house like this for a long time, it will be unpopular. One lives in the main house.

Pete Wu nodded and said: Since you, boss, agree that we live in the main house, the four of us will live in the main house for a period of time every month.

Go, go to the basement and have a look.

Pete Wu immediately led the way and led Yang Jing towards the eastmost house of the main house.

Boss, according to Mr. Ale's instructions, when we rebuilt this courtyard last year, we opened up the basement. Originally we wanted to build a two-story basement, but we had to give up the second basement because of the serious flooding. The construction plan is only to build a basement. There are two entrances to the basement, the exit of the inverted house is currently closed, and only the exit of the main landlord's wing room is open.

This Yang Jing understands that this place is on the northern edge of Houhai, and the distance from the gate to the northern shore of Houhai is only more than ten meters away. It is really difficult for someone to build a two-story basement in this location. However, the basement on the first floor is probably enough. After all, this is a courtyard with a width of 40 meters and a length of more than 70 meters. Even if the area of ​​the basement is only 70% of the area above the ground, it is more than 2,000 square meters.

After Pete Wu walked into the east wing, he flipped a few times on a combination lock on the wall that looked like a safe, and then opened the safe. There was nothing else in it, only a switch button.

This is the switch that controls the door of the basement. Currently, only Dwyane and I know the password. Every time we open the basement, both of us must be present.

A white man in his forties next to him nodded his head slightly. He knew from the introduction of Yang Jing just now that this is one of Mike Aller's confidantes, Dwyane Miller.

After Pete Wu pressed the switch, accompanied by a low sound of motor running, the rolling door of the east ear room was rolled upwards, and on the floor in the north of the room, a large crack suddenly opened on the floor, and then the whole room The wide crack in the room was getting bigger and bigger, and a slope extending downward appeared in front of Yang Jing's eyes.

After all the floor doors were opened, Pete Wu walked in first, followed by Yang Jing. As soon as he entered, he could hear a buzzing sound in the basement, as if some kind of equipment was running.

Boss, the total area of ​​this basement is 2,275 square meters, and the height is 3.2 meters. The ground, top and four walls are all made of reinforced concrete walls with a thickness of 70 centimeters. There are two waterproof layers inside. , the entire top is supported by 32 reinforced concrete columns. In addition, eight high-power dehumidifiers are placed in the basement, running 24 hours a day to keep the basement dry. I have purchased it from Yanjing and other regions in the past two years All the antiques that come here are placed in the basement.”

This basement is very large. In the middle and four corners, there is a large cement concrete wall connecting the ground and ceiling, as if something is isolated inside.

Seeing Yang Jing looking there, Pete Wu explained: Because plants need to be planted in the yard, especially the big locust tree that was transplanted, so when the basement was being repaired, an area for planting flowers and trees was reserved in advance. Then The five areas are reserved places.

The basement doesn't feel damp at all. On the contrary, it feels quite dry, and it doesn't feel like it's in the basement at all. This is enough to prove that the moisture-proof work of this huge basement is quite in place.

And those old objects that Pete Wu acquired in the past two years are all placed in several separate rooms close to the entrance of the east ear room!

Looking at these old objects, Yang Jing felt that these millions of dollars were really worthless
