Reborn in the 90s, I traded my ex-husband for eight apartments.
Chapter 97 4 courtyard
The elderly man in the house was probably under sixty years old; he didn't look old at all.
Especially that older woman, her eyes gleamed with a sharp light.
The elderly couple saw that Ge Minjing was very welcoming and quickly opened the door to let her in.
It turns out that this large wooden door was made up of individual door panels pieced together.
When closing the door at night, the heavy door panels are placed one by one into the groove of the threshold, and after they are assembled, they are secured with a thick piece of wood.
There was also a large lock on the outside, the lock head being as big as Bai Zhenzhu's fist.
When we open for business in the morning, we take the door panel off and put it aside.
The house was furnished with square tables, and the floor was paved with bluestone slabs. There was also a small courtyard with a large water tank in the courtyard where goldfish were kept.
Behind them are several large brick and tile houses, as well as separate toilets and kitchens.
The wall is made of blue bricks, with a clump of green bamboo and various flowers planted at its base.
This house...
No wonder even Ge Minjing said this house was a bit expensive.
It's clear that this family has a rich history; the house is probably quite old.
It was originally a large house similar to a courtyard house, but it was later converted into a teahouse for business purposes.
First, we must establish one point regarding white pearls:
"Uncle, auntie, does your house have a property certificate?"
The woman turned and went inside, then came out with two brand-new certificates:
"Yes, my son specifically asked us to handle it last year. Those people came to our house and measured us for a long time."
Their son does business in the south, and presumably, he had his family obtain the property certificate in advance so that the house would be easier to sell.
Bai Zhenzhu had heard before that you must buy a house with a certificate, otherwise it will be very troublesome.
She looked at the area above; the house was over 300 square meters in total.
This set has a larger area than the previous seven sets.
Ge Minjing, who was drinking tea beside them, said to the two elderly people:
"Auntie, name your selling price, and we'll see if it's reasonable."
The elderly couple exchanged a glance, and the auntie smiled and said:
“We’re asking for 50,000 from outsiders. Minjing, since you introduced me to this person, I’ll give you a sincere price: 48,000. That’s the lowest I can go. You can have everything in this house.”
The older man chimed in:
“If you take over, you can continue running the teahouse.”
The auntie continued:
"You can open a teahouse or a restaurant, and people can live in the back."
Bai Zhenzhu then pushed the property certificate back:
"Auntie, it's too expensive. Wouldn't it be better for me to just buy a shop in Chengdu for 48,000?"
The uncle's expression turned somewhat unpleasant.
In their hearts, the house left by their ancestors is naturally extremely precious.
But the reality is that they've been asking for 50,000 or 60,000 yuan since last year, but they still haven't sold any. They couldn't even go south to reunite with their son for the Chinese New Year.
Even shouting for 48,000 didn't work.
Bai Zhenzhu pretended not to see the other person's dark expression and said with a smile:
"This location is rather remote, so it probably wouldn't be easy to do business here."
Currently, the commercial streets in Yuanxian County are concentrated around the department store and the train station area. Shops in other areas are more scattered and have less foot traffic.
After some haggling and with Ge Minjing's persuasion, Bai Zhenzhu finally negotiated a price of 3.8 for the house.
Both parties agreed to complete the formalities tomorrow.
Ge Minjing then drove Bai Zhenzhu back to the train station.
"Pearl, are you satisfied with that shop?"
White Pearl makes no attempt to hide it:
"Very satisfied, sis, it's all thanks to you."
Ge Minjing: "Your brother Guo said you wanted to open a hot pot restaurant. I had already looked into that place for you last year, but the old couple were very tight on the price. They wouldn't sell it for less than 50,000 yuan."
"That's why I couldn't go to Guangzhou for the Spring Festival, and my son and daughter-in-law complained about it, so I got anxious."
Bai Zhenzhu thought to herself, "I couldn't afford it last year either."
The reason this house has been unsellable is because it's too big.
Such a large house certainly can't be cheap.
These days, not just anyone can easily come up with tens of thousands of dollars.
Ge Minjing could afford it, but she didn't need to.
The couple is too busy with their family business.
The reason Bai Zhenzhu spent so much money to buy the land is because of the land itself.
"Temporarily converting a teahouse into a hot pot restaurant is really feasible. No renovation is needed; just install more lights."
It's such a waste to dismantle such good wood.
Bai Zhenzhu was thrilled to have bought the house.
"Sister, once my hot pot restaurant opens, you can bring Uncle Guo and the kids to eat here."
Ge Minjing also treats Bai Zhenzhu like a younger sister.
Now that the factory's business is growing bigger and bigger, Guo Yongliang's business has even expanded to Chengdu. She can now hold her head high when she goes back to her parents' home.
This is all thanks to the white pearl.
She naturally hoped that Bai Zhenzhu would also get better and better.
I sincerely want to offer suggestions:
"We're going to Chengdu in a couple of days, right? I'll take you to eat the most popular hot pot in Chengdu."
"Go and see how they do it, their business model, their taste, let's learn from them first."
"I'll buy the stove while I'm at it."
Bai Zhenzhu was moved, and she thought the same thing.
Hearing the same words from Ge Minjing, she knew that the other person was also genuinely trying to help her.
"Okay, sis. I've never been to Chengdu before. With you and Brother Guo leading the way, I won't be afraid."
"What's there to be afraid of? It's just that the city is bigger and looks more prosperous and lively. Be bolder and expand your business to Chengdu in the future."
Ge Minjing paused for a moment:
"Oh right, aren't you planning to buy a shop in Chengdu? I think your braised meat shop could totally open in Chengdu."
Bai Zhenzhu thought to herself, "This really is my sister."
They didn't even let her speak before the other person said it for her.
Bai Zhenzhu spoke the truth:
"Sister, if there's a suitable shop there, I'd like to open a clothing store there."
Selling clothes is incredibly profitable.
Ge Minjing strongly agreed:
"Yes, selling clothes is good, you can make money, and your clothes are really just as good as those in the big department stores in Chengdu. In that case, I'll keep an eye out for you later."
"Thank you, sister."
The two chatted for a while and before they knew it, they had arrived at the clothing store.
When Ge Minjing saw that the store had put out spring clothes, she picked out two pieces without saying a word, as well as a men's suit.
Bai Zhenzhu refused to accept money, so Ge Minjing threw down a thousand yuan and left.
The next morning, Bai Zhenzhu first drove to collect the money, then picked up the elderly couple and headed straight to the housing management office.
I'm already very familiar with the process of signing the contract, making the payment, and transferring ownership.
The elderly couple were eager to reunite with their son, so they packed their luggage and even bought train tickets yesterday.
After taking the keys, Bai Zhenzhu took the elderly couple to the train station.
It was still early, and Bai Zhenzhu was a little excited.
Then they went to pick up Old Man Bai and the children to take a look at the newly bought house.
Seeing that his daughter had quietly accomplished another great feat, Old Man Bai showed no outward expression, but was secretly very pleased.
Praise without stopping:
"This house is a good buy, it's big enough."
"These bluestone slabs are all made of good stone; they won't break even after hundreds of years."
He then took pictures everywhere: on the wooden door, the pillar, and the cabinet.
"It's all good wood."
Shuo Shuo and the other children had never seen goldfish before, so they stood around and stared at them for a long time.
"This fish looks so good."
"Can I eat it?"
Bai Wenbin slapped his brother on the head:
"You know how to eat."
Jiajia stared with her round eyes, afraid that the beautiful fish would be eaten.
Old Man Bai was very curious:
"Young man, what are you planning to do with such a big shop?"
Bai Zhenzhu: "I'm planning to open a hot pot restaurant. I heard it's very popular in Chengdu. There aren't any hot pot restaurants in Yuanxian yet, so it's sure to be profitable."
Old Man White was even more proud:
"Get it, get it."
His youngest son is really something; he always does everything perfectly.
