American Peak Life

Of course, whether the other party is capable or not, he can peep a little bit from the car driving over. This Mercedes-Benz G63 6X6 should cost a lot of money. Of course, Cao Bin knows Mercedes-Benz. When my business was booming in [-], I also bought an E-class car. Of course, this car had already been mortgaged to a company that owed money.

This car is definitely not trivial at first glance. Cao Bin can't guess how much it costs, but it is certain that it will cost at least 200 million.

"Mr. Cao, why don't you tell us about your house first?" Lu Ning smiled cheerfully, looking very friendly, which made Cao Bin, who was originally very nervous, relax a little down.

"Ah, of course, Mr. Lu, as you can see, this courtyard house is a large courtyard with three entrances and three exits, with a total area of ​​3000 square meters, which is definitely not small. Of course, this place is different from those of the former princes. Baylor Mansion is incomparable, but among these courtyard houses that can be bought and sold, mine should be the largest." Cao Bin first introduced his house.

This place is also the place where Cao Bin was born and grew up, but he has left many good childhood memories of himself. That is, after he became prosperous, he moved out of here and bought a villa. At least, the villa should be more modern.

"Mr. Lu, if it wasn't for the fact that I couldn't turn around enough money, I would be reluctant to sell this house anyway." When he said this, Cao Bin was really sad, and he absolutely couldn't pretend Yes, but a feeling from the heart.

"Understood, Mr. Cao, I can see that you really have a lot of affection for this place." People's eyes can't lie, and Lu Ning really saw a deep sense of reluctance in Mr. Cao's eyes.

"Hey, Mr. Lu, our Cao family has owned this house for more than 300 years. Of course, I won't say who the ancestor is, and I can't tell. However, Mr. Lu, you can rest assured that there is absolutely nothing in the ancestor of the Cao family. You are a criminal, so there will be absolutely no problems with the house."

Lu Ning nodded. Zheng Juan had already shared this information with himself last night.

However, perhaps because no one has lived in it, this courtyard house seems a bit unpopular. Although it cannot be said to be dilapidated, after all, when Cao Bin was rich, he often hired people to come back for renovations. For a long time, there are traces left by time everywhere.

The original vermilion gate is also a little paint chipped. Obviously, this is due to long-term lack of maintenance. This is also because Cao Bin's business has plummeted in recent years. House.

Chapter 887 There Are So Many Levels to Pay Attention to

"Okay, let me tell you, Lao Cao, don't feel sorry for it here, let's go, take us in and have a look." Standing at the door for a long time, I have been listening to Cao Bin tell the history of his family, Also, remembering bitterness and sweetness, Zheng Jun is really tired of listening to the glory of the past, so he hurriedly told Cao Bin to stop, or it is reasonable to show Lu Ning quickly, if the time is not suitable, he can also watch Just go to the next one is not.

"Hey, everyone, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I can't hold back when I say this, come on, everyone, please come in with me." When Zheng Jun interrupted, Cao Bin was also a little embarrassed , quickly opened the door, very good, the vicissitudes of history immediately appeared in front of my eyes.

"Everyone, please." Cao Bin led the way, and introduced his courtyard to the four of them: "Everyone, my courtyard is actually called a courtyard, and I really wronged it. It is not far-fetched to say that it is a mansion. This is a courtyard with three entrances and three exits, but this is not the whole picture, there are two spans on the east and west sides, Mr. Lu, maybe you don't know what a span is, this is the dialect of the ancestors." After introducing, Cao Bin led the crowd to walk in.

"That is to say, this house with three entrances and three exits has a courtyard of the same size as this on the left and right sides, and it is also a structure with three entrances and three exits. It is called the west-cross courtyard and the east-cross courtyard." At this time, Cao Bin opened the side doors on both sides, and what he saw was a yard with exactly the same structure.

"Hey, I said, Lao Cao, your courtyard is amazing, it's a complete set, it's the same structure as those princes Baylor's mansions." Zheng Juan took a deep breath when he saw it, amazed, like Prince Gong's mansion also has the same structure. Of course, it is much bigger, and the courtyard is definitely not comparable to this place, but the structure is exactly the same.

"I said, Mr. Cao, your ancestor was really a high-ranking official. Otherwise, the specifications would definitely be considered exceeding. You know, in ancient times, housing specifications were strictly paid attention to. If you exceed, that is He's going to be beheaded." Lu Ning knew a little about this, so he said that.

"Ah, Mr. Lu, you are an expert. It is true. However, our family didn't have such a specification at that time. It was only after we cleared it that we added the Dongkuayuan." Cao Bin explained, and Lu Ning nodded. Head, this is reasonable, otherwise, such a specification is a little higher than that of ordinary shellfish, and it will definitely be a very serious consequence.

"Mr. Lu, you are an expert, so you naturally know that the courtyard has always been a symbol of ancient and traditional culture in my country. Four refers to the four sides of east, west, south and north. He refers to the houses surrounded by four sides to form a "口" shape, and then the courtyard is surrounded in the middle, so it is called a courtyard, and the formal courtyards of our old imperial capital are generally located along the alleys facing east and west, facing north and south, and I also use this design in this set."

"Old Cao, you're so flimsy, why does it make me uncomfortable to hear it?" Lu Ning and Lan Fei listened carefully, but they were interrupted impatiently by Zheng Juan. Cao Binzheng was a little embarrassed, but Zheng Juan was Lan Fei glared fiercely, and immediately became honest again.

"Mr. Cao, don't mind, please continue." Lu Ning smiled slightly, which relieved Cao Bin's embarrassment.

"Hey, since Mr. Lu is interested, then, Mr. Cao, let me say a few more words. In the courtyard of the imperial capital, the gate is opened on the southeast corner of the house. Generally, the courtyard is divided into "mouth", "day" and "mu". The one in the shape of "口" is called the first courtyard, the one in the shape of "日" is called the second courtyard, and the one in the shape of "目" is called the three courtyards. Among them, the three courtyards are the most standard courtyard structure in the Ming and Qing Dynasties, and the layout is also The most reasonable and compact one." Cao Bin boasted and said the same thing.

"Of course, it's not that there are no fourth or fifth courtyards. At that time, most of them would not appear in the imperial capital. According to the rules, the ancestors of our Cao family had to open up the west courtyard first. After the feudalism fell, this would be added. Come out of Dongkuayuan, Mr. Lu, you just said that the buildings in Huaguo have always been strictly hierarchical, and they are divided into different levels according to the identity of the owner. In fact, this can be seen from the gate." Speaking of this, Cao Bin went on He pointed to his door and said.

"Oh? That's the first time I've heard of it. Let me hear what Mr. Cao said in detail?" Lu Ning was quite interested in these.

"Of the gates of the royal clan, the Wangfu is the highest level. Of course, this is the most powerful one who has gone out. Generally, the gate of the Wangfu occupies three or five rooms, with screen walls on both sides. The next level is the Guangliang Gate. The frame and the gate are installed on the central pillar of the house, and there is half a room in front of the gate, and the Jinzhu gate is below, followed by the barbarian gate, Ruyi gate, Suiqiang gate and Western gate.”

"Oh, according to Mr. Cao's explanation, I think your gate is the Guangliang Gate, which is second only to the Wangfu." Lu Ning glanced at the door and said.

"Yes, Mr. Lu has a good eye. Not only that, the ancestors of our Cao family also put a lot of thought into the house, such as this screen wall. According to the level, independent screen walls are not allowed, so we built a seat The mountain shadow wall avoids the hierarchy."

"Hey, I know something about this. I think this screen wall should be the screen wall with wild goose wings." Zheng Juan who hadn't spoken for a long time said suddenly.

"Oh, it's not easy, Junzi, you actually know what it's called? It's not like you." Lan Sheng hasn't said anything since he came in. After all, Lan Sheng doesn't dare to be interested in these things, so, I know very little, and I have never meant to speak.

"Yeah, it really impressed me a little bit. Tell me, what do you mean by the Goose Wings Screen Wall?" Even Lan Fei praised it, which made Zheng Juan feel a little flustered.

"Hey, that's what people in that era were telling others: I'm a local tyrant, my family is rich, and I'm self-willed!" Well, Lu Ning and Lan Fei just rolled their eyes, this guy shouldn't be praising him at all.

"Mr. Lu, this is the gate between the first entrance and the second entrance after passing the screen wall, the hanging flower gate, and this hanging flower gate is the most beautiful gate in the whole courtyard. .”

Lu Ning looked up and saw that the two hanging capitals were decorated with lotus petals and beads, which looked like a pair of budding flower petals.

Although the Efang and Queti with carved beams and painted buildings have been stained with the traces of the years, and some places are even dilapidated, they can still see the resplendent shadow of the past, and the aura of the big family can be seen at a glance.

Chapter 888 Bought the History of Sihetang's Transaction Price

Looking inside the vertical flower gate, you can see four green screens, that is, the vertical flower gate faces the courtyard. Usually there are four doors, which are usually closed. The "two doors" refer to the vertical flower gate. , Two gates do not step", which means never stepping out of the hanging flower gate to go outside.

After passing the vertical flower gate, you will enter the second courtyard. There is a circle of corridors here, along the periphery of the inner courtyard, connecting the vertical flower gate and the east and west wing rooms, and leading directly to the main room. It is most useful in rainy days.

Turn around the chaoshou verandah, which is the inner courtyard. The main room facing south is the main room. There are three rooms. Generally speaking, there are three front rooms and two ears or three front rooms and four ears. Generally, the side rooms are used as study rooms or warehouses.

Generally, sons live in the East Wing, and daughters live in the West Wing. The inverted room has the worst orientation. In ancient times, it was prepared for servants.

This courtyard house of Cao Bin is a typical large courtyard house. In the imperial capital, it is privately owned and is rare. This kind of large courtyard house is used to take the "big house gate". , Backyard, East Garden, West Garden, Main Courtyard, Side Courtyard, and Cross Courtyard are divided into three entrances, and there are corridors connecting each place in the courtyard.

It took Lu Ning and others a full hour to visit. Of course, this was still a quick walk around without looking at it carefully, otherwise, this time is really not enough.

"Mr. Cao, we have seen this house. On the whole, apart from the erosion of the years, it is a bit old, but there is really nothing wrong with it. I just don't know. How much is Mr. Cao going to price?" Lu Ning is still very satisfied with this house, the location is excellent, it is in the middle of the bustling city, but it is quiet in the middle of the bustle, it is a rare real estate.

"3112 square meters, 1 million, what does Mr. Lu think?" When Cao Bin mentioned the price, he was still a little apprehensive. After all, this price is not low. It can be said that it is the highest unit price of Beijing courtyard house in recent years. However, this is also the reason why Cao Bin is in urgent need of money. Cao Bin has also calculated that if he can sell it for the highest price, not only will he be able to repay the debt, but he will also have extra money for his comeback.

"Hey, I said Lao Cao, your price is a bit unscrupulous, the price of the courtyard house in Qianhai is only more than 2 yuan per level, right? Your price is close to 4 yuan." Lu Ning has not yet spoken. , Zheng Jun couldn't sit still. At the beginning, the grandsons of the agent didn't tell him that the price of this house was so high. Could it be that this Cao, seeing Lu Ning's intentions, suddenly jumped the price?In this case, I can't hold my head up in front of Lu Ning and Lan Fei. Doesn't this mean that I can't handle things well.

Zheng Jun stared at Cao Bin with a gloomy gaze at the moment, his meaning was very clear, old boy, don't try to lie to me, otherwise, you will feel better.

"Hey, I said Mr. Zheng, I've always reported this price to the agency like this. I definitely didn't lie to you. You must have acquaintances in the agency. If you don't believe me, you can call and ask." Cao Bin said I'm in a hurry, even if the business is not there, the benevolence and righteousness must be there. My small body can't stop the tossing of these second generations.

I am already like this now, if I am tossed about, it will make things worse, right? At that time, I will really lose half of my body. Zheng Juan carefully stared at Cao Bin for a few times, and saw that Cao Bin really didn't seem to be alive. The meaning of lying to yourself is that the group of dogs in the intermediary probably quoted a low price to lure people into it?

As for Lu Ning, when he heard the price, he felt a burst of excitement. Fuck it, 1 million, don't look at it now, it seems to be a sky-high price, but in the future, this price, you don't need to look at it at all. The unit price of a quadrangle courtyard is more than ten or 2 yuan. At that time, this courtyard courtyard, at least, cost 20 billion yuan.

If you buy it now, you will definitely find a treasure: "Okay, Junzi, don't scare Lao Cao, how about this, 1 million, the full amount, I can pay it off at any time, of course, this is the last sum The money must be transferred to my name, Lao Cao, this price, I think, should be fair." Lu Ning asked with a smile.

To be honest, Cao Bin knew very well that up to now, no one has bid more than 1 million yuan. It has been half a year, that is, Lu Ning, who has quoted this price.

"Hey, Mr. Lu, look, you know my situation. I really need money urgently. Can I have more? If I have more, I'll sell it. I have to save some money for business, right?" Cao said. What Bin said was true, he just wanted to save some capital in order to make a comeback.

"Haha, okay, Lao Cao, you are also a straightforward person, I will add another 3 million to you, okay, we will sign the contract now, no, I will go to the next set."

Lan Sheng and Zheng Jun stared wide-eyed, damn it, they are indeed brother-in-law, this one is more than [-] million yuan, if you say buy it, you will buy it, don't you think so much?This is not buying a house, it is simply buying vegetables.

The two of them also had a deeper understanding of Lu Ning's power. A big boss is a big boss, only Lan Fei is still calm. Well, I have experienced this kind of thing many times, so there is nothing to be excited about.

To be honest, this set of courtyard houses is indeed much more expensive than others, but this is also because rare things are more expensive. In the imperial capital, there are not no courtyard houses larger than this, but the key is no longer privately owned. Li, after all, if it can be bought and sold, this set is definitely the only one for Scorpion Papa.

"Okay, just do as Mr. Lu said, I bought it." Cao Bin thought about it, gritted his teeth, stomped his feet, and sold it.

As for whether he will regret it in the future, that is a matter for the future. The most important thing is to overcome the difficulties at present. Of course, after more than 20 years, this Cao Bin can be regarded as a billionaire. What is the price of the courtyard house, more than one billion, and only half of it can be won.

"Okay, Mr. Cao is refreshing, Junzi, contact the agent and prepare the contract, Lu Ning gave orders."

"Okay, brother-in-law, I'll contact you now." Zheng Juan picked up his cell phone and started calling. Not long after, two staff members from the agency arrived. Originally, the agency didn't think that the courtyard house could be sold, but they never did. I thought, in just over an hour, this courtyard house would really change hands.
