Chapter 10, Buying a House

Thus, the three of them had breakfast and arrived at the west gate of Donghai University, where there was a village that had not yet undergone housing reform

The blonde seemed to have just woken up, squinting as he glanced at Ye Xiang and Shi Mei, and immediately became alert.

However, Donghai City is currently unable to find a suitable place to relocate these ancient buildings

What if I buy it?

Thinking of this, Ye Xiang did not hesitate and said: "One million is one million, come with me to the bank to transfer the funds, and then we will go to the real estate bureau to complete the transfer of ownership"

Thus, Ye Xiang hosted a lavish meal for Guo Zhuzai and Huang Mao, but the house still needed to contact the construction team for repairs.

As the door opened, Ye Xiang and Shi Mei saw a spacious courtyard. Directly facing the main entrance was a large stone incense burner. In the center stood a two-story building with red tiles and blue bricks, featuring a gabled roof, comprising a total of eight rooms.

To be honest, one million is not a high amount. The house in the yard can be around 400 square meters, and the land is about 500 square meters. If we consider the current demolition compensation prices in Donghai City, this yard could at least receive three million in compensation.

On each side of the courtyard, there are two side rooms, which appear to be severely dilapidated due to years of neglect

Go ahead! As long as you can help me find a house quickly, I can make you gain thirty pounds from now until the start of school, not to mention a big meal!

This statement astonished Jiang Guozhu, who asked: "Lao San, do you have so much money? Although this courtyard is a bit shabby, it is not inexpensive!"

After walking for approximately ten minutes, Jiang Guozhu brought Ye Xiang to a tall redwood door. After knocking, a person with yellow hair opened a crack in the door to peek out.

As all the documents were complete and it was a bank transfer, all procedures were completed before noon

Although the bluestone path is not particularly even, it is sufficiently wide, and from time to time, one can see some elderly people sitting by the roadside enjoying the cool breeze

After all, he is still the young master of the Ye Group. Although he has lost his inheritance rights, the construction teams within the group are still familiar with him

After all, there is no centralized heating here, making it quite difficult to endure during the cold winter months, and most of those who remain here are elderly, as there are not many people in this village

His words carried a hint of probing, suggesting that it was not the bottom price. However, upon hearing that it could be purchased, Ye Xiang became intrigued.

In fact, the condition of the main house is also not very good, and it is estimated that the second floor is completely uninhabitable

"Brother Pillar, what brings you here so early in the morning?" said Huang Mao, yawning.

This is an ancient building, and it is not feasible to hire a regular construction team; however, this does not pose a challenge for Ye Xiang

Jiang Guozhu did not know how much Ye Xiang spent on renovating the house, but upon entering the courtyard, he realized that Ye Xiang had definitely spent a considerable amount

Guo Zhuzai said with a smile: "My classmates want to rent a house, so I brought them to have a look"

"How do you plan to rent it?" Ye Xiang felt that the house was still acceptable and directly inquired about the price

Thus, Ye Xiang made a phone call to the group, and after a brief discussion about the price, the construction team arrived in the afternoon

Ye Xiang set a very tight deadline, requiring the repairs to be completed within three days. Consequently, dozens of workers flooded into the yard, formulating a repair plan on-site and commencing construction without a moment's pause

However, this courtyard is located within the village, devoid of the hustle and bustle of the outside city, making it a good place to find tranquility amidst the noise

It is estimated that Huang Mao believes that the demolition here is impossible, which is why he is eager to sell quickly to exchange for some money to spend

Moreover, it is necessary to dismantle these ancient buildings one by one, relocate them, and reconstruct them for restoration, which incurs a considerable expense; therefore, no real estate developers are willing to engage with this area

The blonde scratched his head, and in fact, the condition of this house was evident without anyone having to say anything. He awkwardly said, "Actually, I was thinking of selling it. If I were to rent it out, with Brother Zhuzi around, it would be two thousand a month..."

The reason for not carrying out the housing reform and demolition is primarily that most of the buildings in this village are ancient structures from the Ming and Qing dynasties, and if a complete demolition were to take place, these buildings would need to be preserved

Hearing what Ye Xiang said, Huang Mao gritted his teeth and extended a finger, saying: "One million. Brother, don't haggle. You can inquire about it; the courtyards in this village are worth at least two million. If it weren't for the fact that my house hasn't been well maintained, you wouldn't be able to get this price."

Huang Mao felt even more energized upon hearing this, "In fact, this is also the inheritance left to me by my father. The property deed is now in my name. If this brother wants to buy it, the transfer can be completed today!"

Ye Xiang still remembers that when his father was around, he had considered filming here, but after calculating the costs, he found it was not worthwhile, so he gave up.

During these three days, Ye Xiang and Shi Mei stayed at a nearby hotel, occasionally coming over to check on the construction progress, and then having meals with Jiang Guozhu.

Ye Xiang revealed a hint of sorrow and said softly, "Didn’t my father pass away last year? He left me some money; buying this courtyard is not a problem."

In just three days, the repairs to the house were completed, and Ye Xiang paid a total of 1,200,000 yuan, which was even more expensive than what he had paid to purchase the courtyard.

You must mention a price for me to consider, but if it is too high, I truly cannot accept it. Additionally, after I take over the property, I will need to carry out extensive renovations, which will also require a significant amount of money
