Chapter 142 Buying a 4-yard
Gu Xiaoqi thought about it and returned the passbook to Lu Jingze.
"Jingze, you still need to do some simple renovations on this house, and buy some furniture. Take the money back first, and don't be in a hurry to refuse! If you give it all to me, how will you buy it? I will go back to Qingshan Village the day after tomorrow, and I will have to rely on you to take care of this here when you have time!"
The decoration of this house is actually quite good, and it only needs to be renovated a little bit. There are still some furniture in it that have not been taken away, so they were all given to them.
However, we can only selectively keep some of them, as we will still need to purchase a lot later.
Lu Jingze said: "The remaining money is for you! Don't worry about the money for repairs, I will find a way!"
No matter what, Lu Jingze insisted that Gu Xiaoqi take the passbook.
"Xiao Qi, don't worry, I'm not being stubborn. When I get back to the army, I'll file a marriage report and apply for housing subsidies. Since we don't live there, we'll get some housing subsidies. Also, I'll get a bonus when I'm promoted to battalion commander, and my allowance will double!"
No matter how Gu Xiaoqi tried to persuade him, Lu Jingze was as stubborn as a bull and refused to give in on this matter.
Although he was doing something resolute, his expression and behavior were very gentle, which made Gu Xiaoqi feel that Lu Jingze was really capable!
"Okay, okay, you really have to be brave! If you really need the money, you must not hide it from me!"
Lu Jingze smiled and assured again and again: "Yes! I will definitely not hide it from you!"
After solving the housing issue, the two returned to Zhou's house. Gu Xiaoqi used the excuse that he was tired and wanted to take a nap, and went back to his room.
In fact, Gu Xiaoqi was planning to buy a house in the afternoon, and if there was enough time, he would go to the black market again.
There was no way she could really rest, as she was leaving the day after tomorrow and she had to hurry up and do her work.
After talking to Lu Jingze for a few words, Gu Xiaoqi closed the door and drew the curtains.
He flashed into the space and drove it out of the military compound.
In fact, the military compound is located in the bustling center of the city, close to Tianyanmen Square, and is one of the few small two-story and three-story buildings in the area.
Basically, most of the houses around here are siheyuans, and Gu Xiaoqi was going there specifically for the siheyuans.
She remembered that in later times, a courtyard house near Tianyanmen Square could be sold at a sky-high price!
Compared to now, the price is very low now, she must buy, buy, buy!
It can be said that if Gu Xiaoqi buys a few courtyard houses, he can just lie back and relax!
Gu Xiaoqi slipped out of the space in a nearby alley, tightened his scarf, and started heading straight for his destination.
When I went to the Housing Authority yesterday, there happened to be a female homeowner whose price was cut short by someone. The homeowner got so angry that she said she would not sell the property to that person.
The two people started arguing and left on bad terms.
Gu Xiaoqi listened for a while and learned about the owner's house and location. Most importantly, because the man bargained, Gu Xiaoqi also knew the owner's reserve price.
Gu Xiaoqi looked towards the area and happened to see the owner of the house from yesterday closing the door and walking out.
"Hello, Auntie! Are you selling your house?"
The woman in front of me looked to be in her fifties or sixties, with a plump figure and a round face. She was dressed simply and plainly, and if you looked closely you could tell that the material she was wearing was of very good quality.
He seems to be a low-key person from a good family.
The old lady looked at Gu Xiaoqi and saw that she was a little girl. She immediately felt that there was no hope.
"Little girl, my house is expensive, you should go look at other houses!"
It's not that this lady looks down on people, but her courtyard is a three-in-three-out courtyard with a cross courtyard, and it is only about 50 meters away from Tianyanmen Square.
Unlike the Lin family’s courtyard house, this courtyard house has a large space and the decoration style inside is antique and very grand, like a paradise.
The overall layout is transparent and bright, with excellent lighting and ventilation.
In short, the space is large, the location is good, the surrounding life atmosphere is also strong, and there is great potential for appreciation due to its proximity to a bustling area.
Therefore, the price of this courtyard house is also very expensive, and she asked for 3200 yuan.
The deal was originally reached yesterday, but 3200 yuan is not a small amount. Such an expensive house is actually not easy to sell. The man saw this and wanted to lower the price temporarily, the lower the better.
As a result, the old lady was angered and she said she would not sell the product to him at all.
Gu Xiaoqi was not annoyed, and continued with a smile: "Auntie, I really want to buy it. Look, I brought all the money!"
Gu Xiaoqi looked around, opened her cross-body bag and let the lady have a look.
When the old lady saw that there were really bundles of unity inside, she began to take the girl seriously.
"Okay, then come in with me and take a look!"
Gu Xiaoqi followed the old lady into the courtyard. As soon as he entered the door, Gu Xiaoqi decided to take it down!
This courtyard house is so elegant and unique. You must feel really good living in it.
The most important thing is that this courtyard house must be the kind of courtyard house that is sold at extremely high prices in later generations.
Gu Xiaoqi immediately walked around with the old lady and couldn't wait to ask, "Auntie, I want to buy this house. What's the price?"
"Little girl, I'm not going to argue with you. I want 3200 yuan for this house, which is absolutely fair! If you're not in a hurry to sell it, it will be fine if you want to sell it for more money!"
Gu Xiaoqi said, "Auntie, how about this! If the price is right, I can go to the Housing Authority with you today. You see how happy I am. If you keep waiting and don't meet the right person, it will be a waste of time. Why don't you give me a discount so that you can save some trouble, okay?"
This lady was also a straightforward person. She thought about it and realized that she had been trying to sell the house for several months but still couldn't. The house must be a good one, but there were very few people who could afford the money for it all at once.
After so much trouble, she was a little exhausted. In fact, the price she had in mind was 3000, but she added 200 more because she was afraid that someone would bargain.
"Since you are sincere, I'll give you 3000 yuan!" The old lady seemed to be very cruel.
"2800 yuan, the trouble of going back and forth in this cold weather is not enough to cover this money, Auntie, I am a straightforward person! Let's both take a step back. If it works, we will go to the Housing Authority immediately! If not, then I will wait and see!"
The lady thought that she was only 200 yuan short. If she let this one go, she didn’t know where the next one would be!
She really didn't want to go through all this trouble. Thinking of this, the old lady gritted her teeth and looked at Gu Xiaoqi's messenger bag, and asked tentatively, "2800 yuan! Do you have that much money in your pocket now?"
"Yes!" Gu Xiaoqi patted his cross-body bag.
