Chapter 401 Buying Taifeng Building

"It's pretty good! Although there aren't as many people as before, the daily turnover hasn't decreased much."

"Then what's going on?" asked my mother puzzledly.

Li Jiayi said at this time: "Mom, this is normal. When it first opened, many people wanted to try it, but most of those people were ordinary people. Can ordinary people go to restaurants often? Just try it. Now, the people who go to eat are all rich people, or people who are doing business. The consumption level is different."

"Yes, that's it." Lin Ling'er nodded and said.

"I see. That's right. Ordinary people don't have much money. The ones who have money are some units or businessmen."

"Ok!"

"By the way, Jiayi, people from the Commerce Bureau are here again today." Lin Linger suddenly said.

"Why are you here again? Didn't you reject them already?"

"Yes! But this time they came and said they wanted to sell Taifeng Garden as a whole to us."

"Sell it to us as a whole? They don't want to own any shares anymore?"

"Well! We don't want a share! So we'll just sell it to us as a whole."

"If that's the case, then you can have it."

Are you kidding? Taifeng Building has two floors! And the first floor is about 400 square meters.

Although housing prices have risen a lot now, on average, it is only about 300 yuan per square meter. Even if it is more, it is not much more.

But in later generations, even this small ancient building with red walls and golden tiles cannot be bought without tens of billions or hundreds of millions.

This is just a conservative estimate. You have to know that in the future, a small courtyard house of 200 to 300 square meters in the location of Taifeng Building would cost several hundred million!
Let me put it this way, if you buy Taifeng Building now, you will make a profit.

Li Jiayi was unwilling to form a partnership with the Commercial Bureau and just wanted to buy this two-story old building.

Because he knew very well that if he agreed to the partnership, the place would never be sold to him.

It is very likely that the Business Bureau used the house as equity, and it was the kind that was only provided.

"Then go back to the Commerce Bureau!"

"Okay, I'll go there tomorrow. If I get it, I can just do some simple renovations and start the business."

"But if that happens, we'll have to open another restaurant."

"I know, but it's okay. Leave it to He Yuzhu. He has many disciples and grandchildren. Let his second disciple lead the people over."

"Ok!"

"Son, I know Taifeng Garden. It will cost a lot of money to buy that place!" said the father.

"Uh!" Li Jia was stunned for a moment, and quickly said, "Dad, don't worry about this. It won't cost much."

"How can it be possible that it doesn't cost much? How can such a big Taifeng Building be bought without hundreds of thousands of dollars?"

Li Jiayi looked at his father speechlessly. It was impossible to get even eighty thousand or even two hundred thousand!

Now is not the past. If it were in the past, he wouldn't even pay 20,000, let alone 100,000.

But it’s different now! Now that the economy has been reformed, many people who own a lot of houses want to sell them and then use the money to start a business.

It’s just that there are not many people who can come up with that much money now, and those who have that much money have no shortage of houses.

But even so, the price of houses has increased many times compared to before.

Let's put it this way! For example, in the past, Li Jiayi bought a large courtyard house with three entrances, including antiques and furniture, which might only cost a few thousand or tens of thousands.

But nowadays, if you want to buy any large courtyard house with three entrances, without antiques and furniture, you can’t even think about it without 40,000 or 50,000 yuan.

Not only Li Jiayi knew it, but Lin Linger also understood it, but she didn't say anything.

One hundred thousand or eighty thousand is an astronomical figure for my parents. If they knew it would cost two or three hundred thousand, they would be furious!

"Dad, this is different. This is a house that can be used for business. It is completely different from a house to live in."

"What's different?"

"Of course it's different! After we take over Taifeng Building, we can rent it out even if we don't use it for business."

"You can rent out the house you live in, it's the same thing."

"Why are you talking so much nonsense? Since my son wants to buy it, he must have his reasons. You don't understand anything. Just watch."

"I……"

"What are you talking about! Just shut up."

Dad still needs Mom to clean up! And she is always so accurate, as you can see from the way Dad looks now.

Although the mother didn't understand either, she knew one thing: her son could not do anything wrong. This had been the case since he was ten years old.

How others have lived, and how my family has lived over the years, is all because of my son.

"Mom, what Dad said is right. A house for business can be rented out, and a house for living can also be rented out, but the two types of rentals are different."

"Oh! What's the difference?" asked my mother.

Of course, what mom asked was different from what dad asked. She was just curious.

"Let's put it this way, the one we're living in now is four months old, right?"

"Of course it is big! There aren't many courtyards in the entire imperial capital that are bigger than this one."

Yes, the courtyard house covering an area of ​​more than 3,000 square meters is indeed relatively large in the imperial capital.

"But if we rent out our courtyard house, even if we include the cross-courtyard where we live, the maximum price would be 300 yuan per month, and that's based on the current price."

"Ok!"

"But do you know? If we rent out Taifeng Garden, it would cost at least two thousand yuan a month."

"What, so expensive?"

“Yes, that’s the difference between a house that can be used for business and a house that can be used for housing.”

"Even if that's the case, the difference is too big!" said my mother in confusion.

Li Jiayi shrugged and said, "That's it."

"All right!"

At this time, my father said, "Is the storefront so valuable?"

"Yes!" Li Jia nodded.

Dad quickly turned around and looked at Mom and said, "Mother, why don't you take out the money from home and let your son buy a few shops!"

"Why do you want to buy a storefront?" asked my mother.

"Let's rent it out and collect rent! This thing may earn more than our retirement salary in the future."

The mother rolled her eyes at him and said, "Do you need to tell me that? I guess my son has already bought a lot of them. If that's the case, why buy it again?"

"Uh!"

It's true that no one knows a son better than his mother! My mother actually thought that he would buy a lot of shops.

"Son, is what your mother said true?"

"Ok!"

Seeing Li Jia nodded, his father's eyes lit up and asked, "How many shops did you buy?"

Before Li Jiayi could answer, his mother glared at him and said, "Why do you want to know so much?"

"I……"

To be honest, even if Li Jiayi was asked to answer, he couldn't do it now, unless he took out the house deeds and land deeds in the space and counted them.

"Okay, eat quickly."

After dinner, the family watched TV for a while in the living room, and then went back to rest. There was no conversation that night.

The next morning, Li Jiayi drove to the Commercial Bureau first because he had an appointment with the person who rented the house at ten o'clock.

It was still early, so he planned to go to the Commercial Bureau to get his business done first, and then go to Houhai.

The Commercial Bureau was quite far from Li Jia's family. It took almost twenty minutes to drive there.

"Hello! Where does Director Xu work?" Li Jiayi parked the car at the gate and asked the security guard at the gate.

As for Director Xu, Li Jiayi didn't know him and had never even seen him. This was told to him by Lin Ling'er. It was also Director Xu who found their hotel and wanted to sell Taifengyuan to them.

Needless to say, Director Xu should be the office director. As for the sale of Taifeng Building, it was certainly not up to him to decide. It must have been discussed in the bureau and then asked him to handle it.

"Director Xu is on the second floor, on the left side of the stairs. There's a sign on the door."

"Yeah! Thank you!"

"You're welcome."

When Li Jiayi drove in, the security guard did not stop him because many people came here to do business every day.

Another reason is that he was driving a jeep. Just kidding, at this moment, what does a jeep represent? The guards know it better than anyone else.

Normally this is true, but Li Jiayi is an exception. It can be said that Li Jiayi has become much more convenient over the years because of this jeep.

After finding a place to park the car, Li Jiayi walked into the building, quickly found the stairs, and went up to the second floor.

As the security guard said, we soon saw a room with the director's name hanging on it.

"Boom boom boom!"

"Come in."

As soon as Li Jiayi opened the door and walked in, he saw a middle-aged man sitting behind the desk.

"Excuse me, what can I do for you?" Director Xu frowned and asked when he saw Li Jiayi coming in.

"Hello, Director Xu. I'm the owner of Qiurizhai. I heard that your bureau wants to sell Qiurizhai to us."

"Ah! You are the owner of Qiu Rizhai! Hello, hello, please take a seat."

"Thank you."

Director Xu had already walked out from behind his desk at this time and quickly picked up the cup on the coffee table to pour tea for Li Jiayi.

"Director Xu, you don't have to worry about it. I'm not thirsty. Let's talk about Taifeng Building first!"

"Okay okay."

Despite this, Director Xu still poured Li Jiayi a cup of tea and placed it in front of him.

"You are the Boss Li that Mr. Lin mentioned, right?"

"My last name is Li."

"Boss Li, this is what's going on. Our bureau is planning to sell Taifeng Building directly to you."

"Sure! I wonder how much your bureau wants to sell it for?"

As long as it is not a cooperation, it doesn’t matter even if the price is a little higher.

"How much does Boss Li think is appropriate?"

Hearing Director Xu's question, Li Jiayi frowned and said, "Director Xu, you know how much a house costs now. For a two-story building like this, the price of the first floor is 350 per square meter, and the second floor is 250."

"Yes!" Director Xu nodded.

"The Taifeng Building has a construction area of ​​400 square meters, with two floors, a total of 800 square meters. Under normal circumstances, it costs 240,000."

"Boss Li, you also said that under normal circumstances, Taifeng Building is abnormal! At the very least, although Taifeng Building has only two floors, its height is higher than many three-story buildings."

"Yes."

Li Jiayi had to admit that this was indeed the case. In fact, it was not only the Taifenglou, but also the three restaurants he currently operated, including the three restaurants that were being renovated.

It is much taller than those ordinary storefronts.

"In that case, the price is a bit inappropriate."

"Director Xu is right, but don't forget that no matter how high it is, it is still two floors. It cannot be used as three floors."

"Ugh! This..."

"So the most I can offer is 300,000. I can't take more than that."

"Three hundred thousand? Can't it be more?"

Li Jiayi shook his head and said, "Not much, or you can ask someone else."

Director Xu doesn't want to ask others? It can be said that he has asked countless people during this period.

Many people have this intention, but it’s not enough to just have the intention! They simply can’t come up with so much money.

Three hundred thousand. If it were ten years later, there would definitely be a lot that could be taken out in the imperial capital, but there is really nothing now.

As for those who run shell companies and try to make money out of nothing, they do have money.

But asking them to take out cash is impossible. It’s not that they don’t have cash, but that they won’t take it out.

If they don’t pay cash, the Commerce Bureau will never give them the house!
Others are afraid of them, but the Commerce Bureau is not! You know, the Commerce Bureau is currently under the State-owned Assets Supervision and Administration Commission!

"Boss Li, please wait a moment. I will go to the director to report and come back to give you an answer."

"Sure. Oh! By the way, is Taifenglou still open now?"

“It closed early.”

"Uh!"

Li Jia was stunned for a moment. You know, when he went to see it three months ago, Taifenglou was open for business, although there were not many customers.

"Okay, I see."

No wonder they are not looking for cooperation now, but selling it directly. It turns out they have closed down.

Yeah, not to mention how the food is, the service is not good either!

After Chunfeng Pavilion, Xiayue Tower and Qiurizhai opened, the business of these registered restaurants in the imperial capital has become much worse.

In the past, he would go to these places when he invited people to dinner, but now, apart from the three restaurants under his name, he can probably forget about anything else.

Let me put it this way, Taifenglou is just the first one, and it will definitely not be the last. It probably won’t be long before there will be another restaurant to sell to him.

Let me put it this way! The more restaurants Li Jiayi opens, the more restaurants will close.

This is not the future! If the restaurant is closed, you can still do other business. You have to know that these are all state-owned now!

Moreover, most of the people doing business nowadays are small-scale businesses, and there is no business that requires such a large place.

In another two years, when foreign capital comes in, these places may become popular, but that is for the future.

After Director Xu left, Li Jiayi took out a cigarette, lit one for himself, and then waited in the office.

He looked at his watch. It was only nine o'clock. There was still plenty of time, so he was not in a hurry.

Ten minutes later, Director Xu came back.

As soon as he came in, he said, "Boss Li, Taifeng Building is sold to you at the price you mentioned."

"Okay, prepare the title deed and house deeds, we can sign the contract at any time."

"The house deeds and land deeds are all here. When can we sign them?" Director Xu asked.

"They are all here! Then you can sign now, and I have brought the money."
