Siheyuan: A warm home with wife and children

They all act like bragging at the dinner table, but when they actually need something from someone after the meal...

It's worth taking the time to look it up and you'll understand.

For a factory manager, checking the resident information of an ordinary compound is quite convenient.

This is why Yang Jianguo has been holding back from moving to the leadership compound.

If you move to a different location, security guards might come knocking on your door if you try to investigate again.

Upon investigation, it was discovered that Liu Guangtian's father did indeed live in the same compound as Yang Jianguo.

That's why we turned to him for help.

"How big is that area?" Yang Jianguo asked, having already parked his car, as they chatted at the alley entrance.

He also knew that Liu Guangtian was unwilling to go back.

His father has such a long face, it's infuriating just looking at him. Even if you go back now, no one will bow down to him.

On the contrary, you might get scolded again.

Liu Guangtian is living a carefree life outside now, why should he go home and suffer?

"It's a two-story red brick building, with an area of ​​three or four hundred square meters. You'll have to see it for yourself to find out the exact details."

The address is located west of Andingmen, next to the North Moat, on Gulou Street.

At this point, there's no distinction between new and old; there's only one road, and the Chemical Industry Newspaper Office is located on this road.

"When can we watch it?" Yang Jianguo asked.

Liu Guangtian chuckled and said, "If you have time, we can go check it out right now; someone's on duty."

Without hesitation, Yang Jianguo went home to tell Yingzi, and then went out again.

Riding his bike all the way out of Andingmen, Yang Jianguo walked 300 meters north on Gulou Street and found the place he had been told.

The two-story red brick building facing the street was covered in dust.

There were two wooden doors across the street. Liu Guangtian approached the person on duty and asked them to open the doors so he could go in and take a look.

The rooms are all one floor, with no corners except for the central main beam.

The staircase leading upstairs is located on the southernmost side against the wall, and the layout upstairs is the same as downstairs.

"This used to be used as a warehouse, but now the factory is not doing well and there aren't that many raw materials and soy sauce to store, so it's just been left empty."

The person on duty explained, and Yang Jianguo nodded, asking, "Could you open the gate leading into the factory so I can take a look?"

The person on duty thought for a moment and looked at Liu Guangtian.

Seeing that he nodded, I decisively went up to open the door.

The factory manager had brought Liu Guangtian here before and told him to cooperate with Liu Guangtian's requests.

He also overheard part of their conversation.

The plan is to rent out this place, or sell it if necessary, all in order to generate profits for the factory.

Nowadays, the factory's profits are getting worse and worse, and it's almost unable to make ends meet.

The factory manager did this in order to solve the factory's difficulties.

If they really can't pay wages, let the workers riot.

That would be a really big problem.

The person Liu Guangtian brought today must be the owner who is interested in buying or renting this place, right?

It's quite rare to see a private business owner renting or buying public housing.

In the past, this was something I wouldn't have dared to even think about.

hey~

As you live longer, you see all sorts of strange and unusual things.

The door inside opened, and sure enough, it was connected to the yard of the soy sauce factory.

Yang Jianguo formed a clear impression in his mind, took out a bag of Qianmen cigarettes from his pocket, handed it to the old man on duty, thanked him, and left.

Once they were out the door and had walked a distance with the cart, Liu Guangtian took the initiative to ask, "How was it? Did you find anything you liked?"

"The house is okay, the location... is alright." Yang Jianguo looked ahead and saw that the North Moat Park was at the end, and the surrounding area was convenient with easy access in all directions.

People who have finished their meal and want to go for a stroll can sit here.

He wasn't satisfied with the fact that it was connected to a soy sauce factory.

“I want to buy the house. Ask about the price. Also, this house must be sold separately.”

What does it mean to separate it out? It means to have a separate house and not occupy any other space.

Now, the wall surrounding the soy sauce factory is integrated with the outer wall of the building.

The door inside leads directly into the soy sauce factory compound, meaning that if anything happens, you can just walk into the house directly from the compound.

Don't underestimate this little connection; if real trouble arises later, it will definitely be because of this.

Therefore, Yang Jianguo had one request.

He can buy the house, but it must be partitioned off for him.

They built another wall next to the interior wall of the house, clearly indicating that the place belonged to a private individual.

There's also the issue of property rights, which the soy sauce factory itself needs to handle.

If we separate this part and conduct a property rights certification and transaction, there won't be any problems.

"Is this really that complicated?" Liu Guangtian felt a headache coming on.

Yang Jianguo also stuck to his own ideas: if it could be done, great; if not, he would wait and see.

Anyway, there's no rush right now. He wants to share his books and give Yingzi a place to pass the time.

I didn't come here to cause trouble or annoy my family.

Chaos must precede order.

If you just "make do" with everything at the beginning, then it's bound to go on and on.

Liu Guangtian went back, saying he would come to find him as soon as he had any news from the other side.

Yang Jianguo agreed, saying he would have two days.

I won't look for him for the next couple of days, so as not to make things difficult for him.

Two days later, I won't wait any longer.

If a suitable one comes along, I'll definitely make a decision first.

Two days passed in the blink of an eye, and Liu Guangtian still hadn't written.

Yang Jianguo felt that it was definitely going to fail, and the problem probably lay in the issue of independent property rights.

This is indeed a troublesome matter right now.

Since it's too much trouble, let's not wait.

Yang Jianguo happened to stumble upon this perfect spot.

Behind the scenes, the very courtyard where Xu Damao wanted to move in and Yang Jianguo climbed over the wall to beat him up is now being offered for rent.

If Yang Jianguo remembered correctly, several steel rolling mill workers lived in that courtyard.

The rest are all employees of various factories, so why are they suddenly being rented out?

Where did all those workers who lived inside go?!

Yang Jianguo finally understood what was going on after chatting with the old lady with bound feet sitting at the alley entrance for a few minutes.

The steel rolling mill built a new building, and all the old employees moved to the new building.

The courtyard is now empty, so it definitely can't be left empty.

If it's emptied, it won't belong to the steel mill anymore. Isn't that a pointless loss?!

So, as soon as this space became available, a "For Rent" sign was posted.

Yang Jianguo clapped his hands, thinking, "This is just what I needed when I was sleepy."

It's just a wall away, still within the Nanluoguxiang area.

It's perfect; nothing could be more perfect.

Chapter 363 It's settled, a gathering of heroes

Just a wall away, Yang Jianguo mentioned to Yingzi during dinner that he wanted to buy the neighboring yard.

Yingzi didn't ask, "Do you have money?"

There was 100,000 yuan in cash at home, locked in a safe that Zhang Chao had someone make for him.

If you don't have money, what does it mean to have money?

Yingzi made Aimin take the money he brought last time back, saying it was for his own use.

Actually, I just didn't have the guts to put them at home anymore.

Yingzi needed time to process the money in that bag so that she could feel at ease.

I have enough money, but I'm opening a shop in my own backyard.

Does it fit?

If word gets out, it'll be called something like "Yang Jianguo's backyard."

“It’s appropriate. I’m not afraid of anyone causing trouble. I’ve already reported the money.” Yang Jianguo reported everything without any hesitation.

Li Aimin went to Damao with a mission.

Yang Jianguo's income comes from legitimate investments and is considered normal income.

Anyone who feels there is a problem is questioning the correctness of the task and questioning the reform and opening up.

With such strong winds, Yang Jianguo doesn't need to worry about it.

He wanted to take the risk but couldn't, so he wasn't afraid to use the money.

"Okay, I'll go to the factory tomorrow and ask."

Since her husband had said he was fine, Yingzi felt she should strike while the iron was hot.

If we rent it out now, buy it back, and then have someone move it out, wouldn't that cause them a lot of trouble?

Things went smoothly, and Yingzi wasn't an outsider.

He went to the steel rolling mill and said he wanted to buy the yard, and someone immediately made contact with him.

First, check out the yard, and then confirm that the property rights are in order!

I got my signature, the factory stamp, the street office stamp, the logistics support office stamp—I had eight or nine stamps of all sizes affixed to my name.

After finishing the job, I handed the money over to the factory's finance department, and they issued a receipt with the company seal.

That concludes the transaction.

When Yang Jianguo returned, the backyard had already become his own.

“Let’s make a doorway here so it’s convenient for you to come and go. And then we’ll install heating in all the rooms in the yard…”

"The stove is placed in the east room near the door in the front yard. You boil water, make tea, and pay for snacks and other things here."

"Put the counter here, and then get a recliner over here, so you can sit down."

Yang Jianguo led his wife around the yard and arranged everything.

Yingzi was overjoyed and couldn't stop laughing.

But there's another thing: "If I'm not here, this door can't always be closed, can it?"

Is it feasible to only open after get off work in the evening and not during the day?

“Sure, why not?” Yang Jianguo said confidently. “Everyone is so busy these days, when do we have time outside of get off work?”

"Besides, we're not making money off this," Yang Jianguo said, making a valid point.
