Chapter 131 Buying a House
end of July.
School doesn't start for another month.
Song Li originally planned to take the train to the capital alone.
But Lu Cheng was still worried.
Together with Song Li, we bought tickets to the capital and went to the capital.
Lu Cheng asked someone to buy a sleeper berth this time.
It's alright.
As long as it's not a seated ticket, it's fine.
Lu Cheng stayed in the capital for two days after arriving.
Then we returned to Kaiyuan City.
The thought of separating from Song Li kept her in mind.
Lu Cheng couldn't bear to part with it.
But he also knew that the separation was temporary.
A man's ambition lies in all corners of the world.
Once all the buildings in Kaiyuan City are completed.
Other places also need repair.
When can we go to the capital?
Then I thought, if I have money, I can develop land in Beijing, the profits there will be greater!
Of course that's all for later.
The weather is quite hot in August.
Song Li bought a map of the capital to learn about the city.
Moreover, Song Li plans to open a high-end beauty salon.
We still need to train people.
After all, her second brother was in charge of the construction company, and she also wanted to have her own business.
In her past life, she only researched skincare products.
But for those who have had cosmetic surgery...
She understands the principles, but she doesn't know how to apply them.
It seems she needs to find someone to learn from.
Train your own people.
But no one teaches them.
Song Li searched the surrounding area thoroughly, and she was most interested in the area near Wangfujing.
After all, this is now a bustling city center.
The future is another story.
Song Li goes out for a walk every morning.
It's all in order to find a suitable storefront.
First, open the flagship store in Beijing.
Then I went to Shanghai to develop my career; that's a place of extravagance and debauchery.
How could a gathering place for the wealthy be complete without her beauty salon?
Finally, a week has passed.
Song Li found a small courtyard on the side of the road to sell.
That little courtyard was absolutely dilapidated.
However, with the two-story building in the front and the yard in the back, the area is at least one acre.
The house itself isn't valuable; the land is!
The current requirements are not high.
I bought it and then renovated it.
There are no high-rise buildings in downtown Beijing; the tallest is only five stories.
If we're going to build it, it has to be at least five stories.
It won't be possible to build it in the future.
Song Li only learned about the homeowner's information after making many inquiries.
We arrived at a tenement building.
People are starting to live in tenement buildings now; they don't like the traditional courtyard houses anymore.
Who knew that Song Li would encounter someone she didn't want to meet.
Soong Kuang-yao...
Song Li quickly hid himself.
Why?
If this boss lives here.
She didn't want anyone to know that she had the money to buy a building.
The less trouble, the better.
The most important thing is that she is alone now.
It is not advantageous.
It's not like it's nighttime when no one's around; I can't just pull out a stun gun from my spatial storage and beat people up.
Song Li saw him leave.
He turned around and went to the address the other person had given him.
Apartment No. 2 on the third floor.
"Bang bang bang..."
"Who is it!"
"Hello, I'm looking for Ma Cuihua."
The people inside the house opened the door.
A woman with a child.
"What do you want with Ma Cuihua?"
"Is that courtyard house at No. 56 Wangfujing Street yours? I heard from the owner next door that you're selling it."
The woman was apparently buying a house.
So exciting!
Nobody wanted to buy that dilapidated courtyard. It was already run-down when it was inhabited before, but then the work unit allocated it to a dormitory-style apartment building.
So we moved here.
The already dilapidated house became even more dilapidated without any human presence.
The storefront in front was actually in a good location, but it was too dilapidated and couldn't be rented out.
It's pretty much a case of them getting stuck with it.
They can't sell them or rent them out.
Such a big courtyard.
Just leave it there empty.
Nobody would be happy about that!
"Yes, yes, yes, that's my mother-in-law's name. She hasn't finished get off work yet. Young lady, please have a seat for a while! My mother-in-law will be back at noon."
Song Li waited until noon.
Then I saw a middle-aged woman return.
"This is?"
The woman quickly explained, "I heard we're selling a house, so I came to ask about it."
Upon hearing this, the old woman replied, "The house is large, and although it's dilapidated, I can't sell it cheaply."
The woman was afraid that her mother-in-law's bluntness would scare Song Li away.
"Young lady, don't worry. My mother-in-law didn't mean anything by it. Someone else had already tried to bargain, but they only offered 1 yuan, which is what made my mother-in-law angry."
Song Li smiled.
With that, she felt more confident.
It seems no one is offering more than ten thousand.
After all, these courtyards nowadays often house several families living together.
Many companies own the property rights.
Buying a yard is still not very convenient.
This dilapidated and uninhabited place was an advantage for her.
"It's alright. What you ask for is the price, and what you sell is the money. If the house is meant to be sold, even if it doesn't, we can still be on good terms. Auntie, how much are you planning to sell it for? If it works out, great; if not, so be it."
The aunt looked at Song Li and said, "How old are you, young lady? Buying a house is a big deal. Shouldn't you call an adult to come?"
Song Li: "It's alright, I can make the decision. What Auntie says goes."
The auntie looked Song Li up and down carefully.
He opened his mouth, but finally spoke: "Fifteen thousand, that's the lowest I can go. This room is worth at least twenty thousand. I'll leave you a few thousand, that's more than enough for the renovations."
Song Li thought for a moment and realized that such a large area was indeed not very tall.
But that house probably needs more than just renovations.
How can someone who can afford to buy a house for 1 yuan live in a house like that?
And nowadays, wealthy people are buying tenement buildings.
Some residential complexes in Beijing have already started selling.
The house price is around one or two hundred.
The housing market boom occurred in the late 80s.
In other words, you can now buy a new three-bedroom house for 15,000 yuan, and it's convenient to live in.
Song Li: "Are the property ownership certificate and land use certificate complete?"
"certainly."
"May I take a look?"
"Can."
A moment later, the auntie pulled it out of the wardrobe.
"Could we take another look at Auntie's household registration book?"
The name on the property certificate must match the name on the household registration book.
Song Li looked at all the documents.
"In that case, that house is completely uninhabitable. Even if I buy it, I'll have to rebuild it. It's like buying a piece of empty land for just over ten thousand. Do you think it can be sold for twelve thousand eight? If it can be sold, we'll sign a contract and transfer the ownership."
The two heard 12,800.
They exchanged a glance.
What do you mean by that house?
If it were sold as a piece of land.
It's really not worth that much money.
At this point, her daughter-in-law said, "Mom, that's enough. We're not going to use it anyway. With this ten thousand yuan and a little more, we can buy a three-bedroom house."
The aunt hesitated for a moment, then said, "Okay!"
And so, Song Li acquired his first house in the capital.
However, when signing the contract, Song Li asked her husband to come and sign it as well.
The agreement also stipulates that if the party later reneges on the agreement, they must compensate her with twice the market value of the property.
After all, quite a few people regret buying a house.
Sign this agreement to prevent future problems.
The contract was signed by both parties at the property transfer center.
Then the money is paid upon transferring the property.
This is still within the normal flow.
Now the question is how to repair the house.
Should we hire a construction team from Beijing to build it?
We still need to call people over from our hometown.
