My courtyard shelter

At the dinner table, Xu Dong told his plan. Read

"What, buy a house?" Xu's mother was stunned.

"Yes, we have to spend the 10 million yuan quickly. I think it's best to buy a house."

The reason why Xu Dong wanted to buy another house was not only because he was afraid of money depreciation, but also because he planned to find a "spare tire" for the Siheyuan.

He didn't think it through before.

He lived in Luyang in his previous life. He only knew a rough idea of ​​the situation in Yanjing, and most of it was from newspapers. He was also completely in the dark about the specific situation.

Don't be afraid of ten thousand, just be afraid of one.

If there is any mishap in the Siheyuan, such as a fire, policy changes, or a crime of possessing a treasure, the old Xu family will immediately fall into a desperate situation.

It will be difficult to turn things around at that time!

But it's different with a "spare tire". Even if the courtyard house is lost, the family can at least have a way out, so they won't return to the pre-liberation era overnight.

Of course, these are just Xu Dong's personal "worrying about the future", and his family certainly can't think of these.

"Why buy a house? The rooms at home are not full yet?" Xu's mother complained, mainly because she was afraid that the family would live separately.

"Yes, husband! The house can't be eaten or drunk, so we'd better keep the money for safety. I don't think the drought will end in a short time."

Yang Lina also expressed opposition. Although more houses are better, we must also consider the current environment. It's always good to keep more money in hand.

"Alas..."

Xu Dong put down his chopsticks and had to explain:

"What's the point of saving money? Look at the current prices. If you keep the money in your hands, it will only depreciate day by day. Remember the rush to buy last month? You may not be able to buy things even if you have money in the future."

Yang Lina pondered for a while and found that what her husband said was indeed reasonable, but she still had some concerns in her heart. After all, there are many children in the family, and you need to be cautious in everything you do.

Mother Xu said directly: "This 10 million cannot be used to buy a house. At least 3 million should be kept for emergencies."

Yang Lina nodded in agreement.

Xu Dong thought about it and felt that 7 million was not a small amount. It could almost buy a small house, so he didn't insist:

"That's fine. Let's go to see the house together on the weekend."

...

The weekend came soon. Except for Xu's father, the family was ready to go.

The agency had already made an appointment in advance. It was the agency that introduced the Siheyuan before. After all, they had dealt with it before, so it was convenient to communicate.

Xu Dong drove the car directly to the door of the "Anjujia" sales department, and Mr. Wang and his assistant were waiting beside him.

"Mr. Wang, I'm going to bother you again this time." Xu Dong said politely.

There were children in the car, so he didn't offer cigarettes this time.

"How can it be considered a disturbance? I hope this kind of 'disturbance' can come to my door every day." Mr. Wang said humorously.

"Haha..."

Mr. Wang looked at the big Benz in front of him and praised: "Mr. Xu, your car is really spacious."

"There is no way, there are so many people in the family, and ordinary models can't fit at all."

Next, Xu Dong introduced his family to Mr. Wang one by one.

Mr. Wang teased the triplets and flattered Xu's mother: "Old lady, you are blessed to have so many grandchildren!"

"It's true that you are blessed, but you are also worried about your life." Xu's mother said politely.

After a round of greetings, Mr. Wang sat in the co-pilot seat to facilitate directions.

As for the assistant sister, she sat next to Yang Lina and helped take care of the triplets.

"Boss Wang, which community shall we go to first?"

"Let's go to 'Qingze Garden' community, which is closer to your courtyard house." Boss Wang said.

Ten minutes later, we arrived at Qingze Garden community. This is an old community with very good greening. The houses are not high, basically five or seven floors.

The reserved house is on the third floor, with a total of 72 square meters, two bedrooms and one living room. The house is empty and the price is 6.5 million.

"Old lady, what do you think?"

Mrs. Xu shook her head and said disdainfully: "This apartment is too small and the house is old. I don't think it's suitable."

Xu Dong also had a similar opinion. The area was too small and the family of nine could not live in it.

As for the greening, it is still unclear whether it can be preserved in the future.

"Okay, then let's go to the next community 'Sanhe Homeland', which is a bit far away, on the edge of the East Fifth Ring Road." Boss Wang introduced.

The housing prices in Yanjing are already high, and coupled with the impact of the rush to buy, the average price has reached more than 100,000. The closer to the city, the more fierce the price of the house has risen.

The other party's budget is only 7 million. If they want to buy a bigger house, they can only try their luck in areas outside the Fourth Ring Road.

Xu Ma and Yang Lina thought it was too far, but Xu Dong insisted on going to see it first.

In the future, Yanjing will definitely expand towards the sea. The East Fifth Ring Road, which seems a bit remote now, has greater development potential than the West Third Ring Road.

In less than half an hour, Sanhe Home was finally arrived. The community is relatively new and should have been developed in recent years. The surrounding environment is pretty good.

The house to be seen this time is on the 13th floor. Everyone knocked on the door and entered. The owner didn't expect so many people to come and was a little confused for a while.

"Excuse me." Xu Dong handed the other party a cigarette.

The owner took it and said, "You're welcome."

There is nothing good about the house. It is a total of 135 square meters, with four bedrooms and one living room, fine decoration, and all home appliances are included.

Xu Dong was very satisfied after seeing it and discussed the price with the homeowner on the spot.

"Mr. Cai, let's not waste time. The fixed price is 6.5 million. I can pay the full amount in one go."

It was probably the first time for the homeowner to meet such a down-to-earth buyer. He did not give a direct answer, but gave Mr. Wang a wink, and the two of them walked outside the door and started discussing.

"Mr. Cai, don't worry, Mr. Xu definitely has the financial strength. He just bought a courtyard house worth 100 million yuan from me last year." Mr. Wang said straight to the point.

The homeowner nodded, then hesitated and said: "800,000 yuan off at once, it's a bit much."

"But Mr. Xu is willing to pay the full price!"

This is where homeowners struggle.

Mr. Cai's hometown is in Zhezhou. After graduation, he stayed in Yanjing to start a business. He was somewhat successful in his career. Later, he simply settled here.

Unfortunately, the environment this year was not good, and his catering company encountered difficulties, and last month it went bankrupt.

In fact, more than half of the money from selling a house will be used to repay bank loans.

Of course he hopes to pay off the loan as soon as possible and then return to his hometown as soon as possible with the remaining money. His parents also encountered a lot of trouble.

"6.8 million, do you think Mr. Xu will agree to this price?" the landlord asked.

Mr. Wang shook his head: "It's probably difficult. I won't hide it from you. Mr. Xu's mother and wife are not very satisfied with the environment here and think it's too biased. Mr. Xu insisted on coming over to see it."

Thinking of the old lady's expression just now, the house owner suddenly lost his composure. The woman did look a little unhappy. She didn't say much after entering the house and kept a straight face the whole time.
