Traveling through 70's wine

The final exams were coming up soon. Although Wen Qing did not value the scholarship, she was unwilling to give up the honor. Of course, her grades had always been among the best, so the exams were not difficult for her.

After the test, Chen Rui found her and said, "Wen Qing, how did you do on the test?"

"Oh, I have finished the questions, but I don't know if they are correct. How did you do on the test?"

Chen Rui said dejectedly, "I didn't do very well in the advanced level test. Mechanics was okay, but mechanical manufacturing was average. I definitely won't get a scholarship."

Wen Qing said, "Don't worry, it sounds like you did OK on the test."

Changing the subject: "Where are you going during the winter vacation?"

"Stay at home and don't go anywhere."

Chen Rui's family lives in the neighboring province. She is two years younger than Wen Qing. She is a little spoiled in life, but she studies very hard.

Wen Qing plans to take advantage of the holiday to purchase second-hand bicycles in several nearby cities. She also wants to go to Jiangnan to customize some gears, chains, screws, and steel pipes to prepare for the subsequent production of bicycle transmissions.

She went to the office building to say goodbye to Professor Xu and Professor Wang, then rode her bike back to Erxia Village.

The next day, Wen Qing went to see Section Chief Li from the Housing Management Office. Section Chief Li had been waiting for Wen Qing for more than half a month but she didn't come, so he thought she didn't want to buy a house.

When Wen Qing saw him, she immediately handed him a pack of cigarettes and said, "Chief Li, I'm sorry. I was busy with exams during this period and didn't have time to come over. Look, I came right after the exam."

Section Chief Li nodded modestly and said, "Comrade Wen, I have seven or eight houses here. Alas, they were all bought during the campaign. Some people were poor and had to sell their houses, and some people were preparing to go abroad and wanted to sell their houses."

Wen Qing asked: "Chief Li, can you give me a detailed introduction?"

The eight houses that Section Chief Li mentioned are all nearby. There are five buildings and three courtyards. Wen Qing is interested in the courtyards and said, "Section Chief Li, can you take me over to have a look?"

Section Chief Li took out three keys from the drawer, and said with a little pride: "These homeowners have entrusted me to sell their houses, and they trust me and leave the keys with me."

The two of them rode their bikes to see a courtyard house two streets away, called Huashuijing Hutong.

This was a courtyard with only one entrance. When Wen Qing walked in, she saw some ropes tied randomly in the yard, a stove at the door and a chicken coop in the corner of the house, but the layout of the house was relatively square, with three main rooms and two rooms in the east and west wings.

They went to Majia Lane again, and Wen Qing found that the place he introduced was No. 48 Majia Lane, but this time they entered from the front yard.

It can be seen that the owner of the courtyard house has done some work. The residents in the front yard have moved out long ago, and the houses built later have also been demolished, so the yard looks more spacious.

This courtyard has no back building, only five main rooms and three east and west wing rooms. The house is rather dilapidated, but still habitable.

Passing through the gate to the backyard, there were three rooms, and she rented one of them.

According to Section Chief Li, after the movement began, the front yard was occupied by others and the owner's family lived in the backyard. Later, the owner was driven to the countryside and the backyard was entrusted to the servants to guard. Now the servants are old and have to live with the children.

After the movement ended, he took back the house and would rather leave it empty than let anyone else live in it. He only occasionally rented out the backyard to people as a warehouse.

When Wen Qing rented the house, she also promised not to damage it, so she mainly put some things there temporarily and usually took them away overnight, so she didn't make the house dirty at all.

The last set is a two-courtyard house located on the shore of Yulin Lake.

The location of the yard is very good, and you can see Yulin Lake from the yard, but the yard is too dilapidated. When you push open the gate, you can see the weeds in the yard have grown to a person's height. The doors of the rooms are broken, the windows are broken, the roof of the main house is sparsely covered with thatch, and a part of the roof has collapsed. You can see the sky from the house. Walking to the backyard, it is equally dilapidated.

Section Chief Li was very moved and said, "I haven't come here to see it yet. The owner of this yard was Mr. Mo. During the movement, he and his wife died, the house was smashed, and the children died and were scattered. Now the children don't want to see this sad place, so they asked me to sell it."

This is a parallel world. Wen Qing didn't know which celebrity Mr. Mo he was talking about, but this kind of thing had happened too many times in the past ten years, so she asked, "Chief Li, how much do you want to sell these three houses for?"

Section Chief Li said: "The first one is 10,000 yuan, the second one is 15,000 yuan, and this one is 30,000 yuan. If you think it's expensive, you can negotiate with the owner."

In the 1980s, workers earned 40 to 50 yuan a month, and a person with an annual salary of 10,000 yuan would later become a millionaire. These quotations were by no means low.

Wen Qing pondered and said, "Can you ask the owner to come over and discuss it in detail?"

"How about this, I'll go inform the owner. Xiao Wen, what do you think about tomorrow?"

"No problem, let's meet at the Housing Management Office tomorrow?"

Wen Qing stuffed a red envelope into Section Chief Li's pocket so that he wouldn't have to make a wasted trip.

The next day, Wen Qing went to the Housing Management Office early in the morning.

Several owners arrived soon. The first to arrive was the owner of Huashuijing Hutong. Wen Qing looked at the housing management certificate and household registration and confirmed that it was indeed the owner. Wen Qing bought the house for 10,000 yuan and immediately completed the transfer.

The person who came to No. 48 Majia Lane was not the owner himself. According to the person who came, the owner was his uncle, who had gone abroad and entrusted him to sell the house.

Wen Qing shook her head. She didn't want to have any trouble in the future, so she said, "We can only sign the agreement if you have the owner's formal letter of authorization."

The man who came to the house by Yulin Lake was a middle-aged man who said he was a cousin of the Mo family. None of the Mo family's brothers and sisters were local. The tall and thin man was not in good spirits. He took out a power of attorney. Wen Qing accepted the power of attorney and gave him 30,000 yuan.

The man originally thought that Wen Qing would lower the price. After all, the price he quoted was very high. Although the result was unexpected, he didn't say anything. After the transfer was completed, the man left quickly.

Wen Qing put away the two property certificates. Section Chief Li was shocked to see that a young woman spent 40,000 yuan to buy two houses. Are women nowadays so rich?

Wen Qing made some money from selling grain and wine. The key point is that after she sold the jade, she bought one million worth of supplies from Gangcheng, which have now been sold. She made one and a half million including principal and interest. Now her savings have exceeded two million.

If Wen Qing wasn't worried about being too high-profile, she would like to buy more houses.

She took out four hundred yuan and gave it to Section Chief Li as information fee.

Section Chief Li was inspired by this, and thus the first real estate agency in Pingjing City was born.

He applied for self-employment in the name of his wife, specializing in house buying and selling, both public and private houses.

Section Chief Li works at the Housing Management Office, so he is naturally better informed than others and earns more money a month than his salary as a section chief.

Wen Qing changed the locks of the two courtyards, repaired the gate of the courtyard by Yulin Lake, and called Section Chief Li to tell him that if the procedures for No. 48 Majia Lane were complete, the house would be left to her and she would handle the procedures when she returned.

After the house purchase was finalized, Wen Qing called Huang Zhen, the director of the Jiangnan Ping'an County Machine Repair Factory, and told him that she would go to Ping'an soon. Director Huang was very enthusiastic and said that he would send someone to pick her up at the train station.

Wen Qing bought a ticket and boarded a train heading south. She still needed a letter of introduction to travel, so she went to the department to get one, saying that she was going to do an internship at the Ping'an County Machine Repair Factory.

After leaving the train station, Wen Qing saw a man holding a sign with her name on it. She walked over and said to him, "Comrade, are you from the machine repair shop? I am Wen Qing."

The man smiled and said, "Comrade Wen, I'm Xiaoyu from the machine repair factory. Director Huang asked me to pick you up."

Xiao Yu drove the car over, Wen Qing opened the passenger door and got in, and asked casually, "How is your machine shop doing recently? Is it busy?"

Xiao Yu said: "The machine repair factory is just so-so. It's good enough to have something to repair. Tea picking machines are not selling well right now. Director Huang is worried."

Xiao Yu sent Wen Qing to the county guesthouse. With Xiao Yu and his car, the guesthouse booked a double room for Wen Qing without checking the letter of introduction and promised not to arrange for anyone else to stay there.
