Chapter 371 Look at the 4-Courtyard

"Dad, I have something else to do. How about I go do it first and tell you when I come back."

Chen Jianye said.

"Go ahead, I just need to take a break."

"By the way, your notebook is here. I'll take a look at it later."

Ran Dinghong waved his hands, feeling a little overwhelmed.

Chen Jianye naturally had no objection.

He went out, got on his bike, and drove towards the Qiu family.

Calling Qiu Jibin, the two went to Liu Laosan's house again.

After half an hour.

Chen Jianye and Qiu Jibin arrived at the door of Liu Laosan's house.

Liu Laosan was sitting at the door at the moment. When he saw Chen Jianye coming, he hurried forward and said, "Master Chen, Master Qiu."

"I have something to do at home. Sorry to have kept you waiting."

Chen Jianye took out a peony and handed it over.

"I didn't wait long. I just got free."

"Master Chen, let's go look at the house now?"

Liu Laosan took the cigarette and laughed.

"Let's go."

Chen Jianye turned the car around.

Liu Laosan quickly got on his old bicycle and led the way.

As a professional house porter, Liu Laosan is of course equipped with a bicycle. Otherwise, taking clients to see houses on foot would give people an unprofessional impression.

Secondly, it takes a long time to walk around.

So Liu Laosan bought a bicycle long before the reform.

If it were now, he wouldn't be able to get a ticket even if he had money, and could only look at the bicycle and breathe heavily.

The three of them rode for more than ten minutes and arrived in front of a courtyard house.

"Master Chen, this is the Dongzhimen Siheyuan I told you about."

"This little courtyard is very nice. Please take your time to look around."

Liu Laosan unlocked the door and pushed it open.

Chen Jianye strode into the yard.

The first thing that catches your eye is a piece of flat ground. Looking inside, you will see the hall of the courtyard.

There is a side room on each side of the hall.

The overall structure is in the shape of an inverted "concave".

"This thing can't even be called a quadrangle. At most it's a small courtyard with a yard."

Qiu Jibin complained.

"Oh my Lord Qiu, a proper courtyard house would need more than ten houses. Even wealthy families don't need such a big house."

"The most suitable place for a family to live in Beijing now is this kind of small courtyard house with a small yard."

"Master Chen is the friend you brought with you. I can cheat anyone but him."

Liu Laosan explained.

"The yard is okay, let's take a look first."

Chen Jianye said casually.

At least this courtyard gave him a good impression at first sight.

When it comes to buying a house, Chen Jianye attaches great importance to the first impression.

The good impression proved that this yard was suitable for him.

If it feels uncomfortable or something is weird, Chen Jianye will definitely not accept it.

It may be a little bit mysterious, but it’s definitely not wrong to do this.

"Look, Master Chen, there are three large rooms in this yard, all of which are independent."

"The whole family can move in. You and your wife can live in the main room with your children, and your parents can live in the side room. There is still one room available."

"When the children grow up, they can live in one room, and three generations can live together without being crowded."

"This yard is more than 40 square meters. It is very convenient for drying clothes, quilts, bean curd sticks, dried tofu, fish and other things on weekdays."

"Once the gate is closed, the courtyard is peaceful."

Liu Laosan introduced it in detail.

"It's really good."

Chen Jianye nodded slightly.

The living environment he saw at first sight made him excited.

Compared with shantytowns or bungalows, the living experience of a single courtyard house is simply god-like.

"I want to buy one now."

"The bungalow we live in now is too crowded for five people."

Qiu Jibin also expressed his opinion.

If he gets married, he won't be able to buy a house for the time being and will have to live with his parents and younger brother.

When a newlywed couple is doing something, it’s okay if their parents hear it, but it would be so embarrassing if their younger brother heard it.

So buying a house became a big deal for Qiu Jibin.

What he is struggling with now is whether to be patient and wait until he has saved enough money to do it all at once, or to buy a small bungalow to live in first.

"Mr. Qiu, if you want to buy a house, I can arrange it for you."

"Just tell me what you want. I'll search the whole city and find a house that satisfies you."

Liu Laosan said something flattering.

"Haha, find a house for Jianye first, and I'll follow and take a look."

"If you see someone suitable, then we'll talk."

Qiu Jibin laughed and didn't say anything more.

The main reason is that I don’t have enough money and I don’t have the confidence to speak.

"Good."

Liu Laosan responded with a smile and continued to introduce Chen Jianye.

"Master Chen, please go in further."

"There are cupboards and drawers in the house. Bring some daily necessities in, and you can have a good sleep tonight."

"To be honest, I'm just short of money. If I had money, I would buy it at a high price."

"My three kids are so noisy that the roof is about to be blown off. Who wouldn't want to live in a better house?"

Liu Laosan brought Chen Jianye into the hall and introduced them one by one.

At the same time, a psychological offensive was launched to enhance Chen Jianye's empathy.

What you buy when you buy a house is comfort.

After looking at the main hall and master bedroom, Liu Laosan took Chen Jianye to see the two side rooms on the left and right.

"Master Chen, look at this room. It's so spacious."

"There are wardrobes and beds, with mattresses and quilts. No matter if you are a child or an old person, lying down on them is so comfortable."

"With electric lights installed in the house, everything becomes more convenient."

Liu Laosan kept introducing the house and helped Chen Jianye imagine the happy family scene after buying the house.

The two came to the center of the courtyard.

"This courtyard should be equipped with a bigger light bulb. When the weather gets cooler, the dining table can be placed here, the light bulb can be turned on, and the family can sit here to eat. It will be so beautiful."

"When the time comes, you'll look after the kids after dinner, light a cigarette, and your wife will wash the dishes. Don't you think this life will be a little more interesting?"

Liu Laosan continued.

"How much did you say this house cost yesterday?"

Chen Jianye asked.

"The seller quoted me 1,700 yuan, and I think I can bargain a little bit."

"If we cut it by thirty or fifty dollars, it shouldn't be a big problem."

The smile on Liu Laosan's face became even more intense.

Asking for the price means that the customer is really interested.

If you have no intention of buying a house, why ask the price? Just leave.

"How big is this room? Is the title deed legal?"

Chen Jianye continued to ask.

"I specifically measured this room, it's about 170 square meters, and the title deed is absolutely legal."

"The current owner is a big businessman. In addition to this courtyard house, he also has two western-style buildings. He gave them to me to sell. I guess he has some other plans."

"Don't worry, there will be absolutely no problem with the transfer."

Liu Laosan said seriously.

"Well, let's keep this room in mind for now. Show Jibin and I the other room."

Chen Jianye ordered.

"Good."

Liu Laosan shouted back, not showing any unhappiness at all.

Chen Jianye nodded secretly. At least Liu Laosan’s work attitude was absolutely top-notch.

Even if the deal fails, the friendship remains, which is what this means for businessmen like Liu Laosan.

Soon, Liu Laosan brought two people to the courtyard of Chaoyangmen.

It still has an inverted "奥" shape. The first thing you see is a small courtyard, and the main hall is inside.

There are side rooms on the left and right sides.
