Chapter 128: Buying a 3-in-4 courtyard house for 12
It's incredibly lucky that I managed to get millions by chance.
Wu Tao doesn't think he can always have such good luck. He should be more down-to-earth; without sufficient ability, he shouldn't fantasize about dating female celebrities.
Otherwise, either they'll break up or he'll cheat, and Wu Tao doesn't want to keep getting sent vegetables by strangers.
Wu Tao and Nazha chatted for half an hour, and then she said, "See you when you get back to Beijing," and hung up.
Wu Tao glanced at his watch; it was already past eleven o'clock at night.
At that time, the other party was still filming. Wu Tao found the thought of being a celebrity terrifying.
Wu Tao washed up and went straight into the space.
The wheat in the yard was ready for harvest, and Wu Tao spent a day harvesting it and drying it in the yard.
Once the moisture has evaporated, they can be bagged.
Apart from a portion planted with wheat, the other two acres are used for seasonal vegetables.
The livestock shed was once again filled with seven or eight pigs, a few sheep, a few chickens, and a few ducks.
Large fish would occasionally leap out of the pond. Looking at everything before him, Wu Tao could only say that the mysterious creature was truly amazing.
Everything in the space was exactly the same as everything in his own courtyard before his first time travel.
This is because they're afraid he won't work hard in the future, so they reset his progress every time.
The key issue is that he was left on Earth. If it were Earth, at least he would have the advantage of being a prophet to utilize.
This rendered all the stocks and historical data on economic development that he had specially saved in his previous life useless.
Wu Tao slept in the space until he naturally woke up before leisurely emerging from it.
Having already eaten breakfast in the space, I went out for another stroll on the street after leaving the space.
I returned at noon, went back into the space to cook lunch, and only came out to rest after lunch.
Wu Tao was quite excited when he received the call from the agent.
Wu Tao was about to acquire his first property on Blue Star, and the other party confidently provided him with three target properties.
Such dedication and speed made Wu Tao feel somewhat ashamed.
He's not a hard-working person at heart, otherwise he wouldn't have thought of opening a private restaurant.
This restaurant has some special rules, which will be explained later.
Wu Tao took a taxi to the place where he had arranged to meet the agent.
This is a sea of flowers in the capital, and there are many hutongs (traditional alleyways) here.
Many commercial shops are also located in the courtyard houses here.
However, the alleyways here are very wide. As Wu Tao drove by, he noticed that the alleyways here had at least four lanes.
This saves a lot of trouble. I was worried that the road might be too narrow and inconvenient for guests to come over.
"Hello Mr. Wu, let's go over first. The host is already waiting at home."
"Okay, thank you, Xiao Liu."
"Mr. Wu, you're too kind."
Following the agent, Xiao Liu, the two soon arrived at a vermilion gate.
Xiao Liu went up and knocked on the door, and soon a person came out of the yard and opened the gate.
This is a middle-aged man who looks very wealthy, probably someone who is not short of money.
"Mr. Wang, this is Mr. Wu who came to see the house."
"Hello Mr. Wang, I am Wu Tao."
"Hello, Mr. Wu, I am Wang Bing."
Wu Tao followed Wang Bing and Xiao Liu into the courtyard.
This is a standard three-courtyard siheyuan. Entering the front courtyard, there is a row of seven rooms facing backwards.
The courtyard is very small, only a few dozen square meters.
The house has clearly been renovated, with each of the rear rooms measuring 20 square meters. There's a courtyard, and large north-facing windows prevent it from feeling dark or damp.
Entering the second courtyard through the moon gate, you are greeted by three main rooms facing north, each with an area of approximately 60 to 70 square meters.
There are two east and west wing rooms on each side, each about fifty square meters in size, and no side rooms.
The courtyard space is only about 60 square meters.
There are two courtyards on either side, the east courtyard and the west courtyard, each with two rooms.
Passing through the covered walkway, you arrive at the third courtyard, which has five rooms in a row.
Two of the rooms were converted into bedrooms, and they are quite spacious.
The other three rooms are arranged as follows: a living room in the middle, a bedroom on the west side, and a study on the east side.
The backyard isn't very big either, only a few dozen square meters. It seems the homeowner expanded the house, making the yard smaller.
The house looked like it hadn't been lived in for a long time; it was dusty inside, and the furniture was a bit worn out.
"Mr. Wang, how big is your yard?"
"Mr. Wu, my yard is nearly 800 square meters, and there is a dedicated underground parking lot. The entrance is in a front building in the backyard. The underground parking lot is a full 500 square meters and can hold 30 cars, or it can be converted into a warehouse."
Wu Tao nodded, indicating that he was quite satisfied with the layout of the courtyard. With the underground parking lot, guests would no longer have to worry about finding a place to park.
"Alright, Mr. Wang, I've seen the yard. Now you can make an offer. If it's suitable, I'll buy it; if not, we can discuss it further."
Mr. Wang sized up Wu Tao and, feeling that the other party didn't seem to be trying to fool him, said a number.
After thinking about it, Wu Tao felt that this courtyard did indeed meet his requirements.
"One million two hundred thousand. I'll transfer the money to you right away if you can, otherwise I'll keep trying."
Mr. Wang saw that Wu Tao's expression was very resolute, as if he was ready to leave at the slightest disagreement.
"Alright, I'll be your friend then. 1.2 million, deal."
"Come on, Xiao Liu will go to your place to handle the formalities. Mr. Wang, do you have all your documents with you?"
"Don't worry, they're all in the car."
"Okay, let's go then. The sooner we get it done, the more at ease we'll feel."
Wu Tao, Mr. Wang, and the real estate agent Xiao Liu set off together for the real estate agency.
The shop owner was amazed to see that Wu Tao had settled on the house so quickly, thinking how great it would be if all homebuyers were this generous.
The country does not encourage real estate speculation; in fact, the house prices here have been the same for the past twenty years.
Wu Tao bought it back for 1.2 million yuan now, but in ten years, not only will the price not increase, but he will also have to lose money to sell it.
Mr. Wang just quoted 1.4 million yuan, which was actually the price he paid after renovating the house.
When it came to Wu Tao, he lost 200,000 yuan.
This is why very few people in the Great Eastern Kingdom get rich through real estate speculation, because it's ineffective.
There are no school district properties here; even the super-rich live in the countryside, and the city doesn't offer any advantages.
As for medical care, if you have a sudden illness, you probably won't make it to the hospital in the city before you die.
Conversely, if it's not an acute illness, there's not much difference between one hour and two hours.
Wu Tao and Mr. Wang, along with Xiao Liu, quickly signed the contract. Xiao Liu will then go to the housing administration bureau on Wu Tao's behalf to handle the property transfer procedures.
Wu Tao needs to pay the other party a fee of one percent.
One million two hundred thousand is twelve thousand, which includes the cost of introducing properties and handling all the formalities.
Wu Tao felt that the money was well spent, at least he himself would have a hard time finding a suitable house in the short term.
