Chapter 303: Stay at night
"I really want to sleep here for a night..." Xu Wei pushed the door and walked to the terrace, saying with emotion, "I have never seen such a beautiful house!"
"Yes," Zhang Ke put his hand on his knees and said casually, "Actually, these are all company houses. This building was originally for Sister Wanqing and Zhitong to live in. Sister Wanqing now lives in Xiaojinyuan, and there is no one here... You can live there, but if you live, you must restore the original appearance of this place and sell it for money in the future."
Xu Si smiled, and from Zhang Ke's eyes he was talking nonsense. Without a single statement, it would be impossible for her to live once a while.
"Ah, your company's house?" Xu Wei subconsciously looked back, and Chen Feirong did not follow her up. "When you were having dinner, you had nothing to do with you. You are a scheming carrot, won't you really be concerned about Feirong?"
"What is 'also'?" Zhang Ke said with great distress, "I just don't want you to think too much, so I won't say it. There are many policy matters that I can't explain clearly to you for a while, and you won't understand it even if you say it..."
"What's wrong with it? Didn't the city keep saying that it's going to be demolished? Your company secretly bought a house here, of course it won't be visible. I just think it's strange, why do you play against the city government behind your back?"
Zhang Ke snapped his fingers and pointed at Xu Wei: "Sure enough, as for why, do you have some ideas after seeing this house?"
"It's a pity to demolish it here. Those tall buildings will be tired of seeing one day, and there will never be such elegant and interesting courtyards in those tall buildings. Is it because your company is just playing the show with the municipal government behind the scenes for such a reason?" Xu Wei shook his head, looking disbelief.
Zhang Ke smiled without explaining it. He lived again and would not care about some benefits. Sometimes he could keep some beautiful things that cannot be copied, which is even more important. This state of mind cannot be explained to others.
"Do you want to stay for a few nights and experience it? I'll tell Teacher Xu and let him leave the keys for you."
"Of course you have to live," Xu Wei asked worriedly again, "Will it cause trouble? If it is trouble, forget it."
"Sister Xu Si is a senior employee of the company after all," Zhang Ke spread his hands and smiled. "Sister Wan Qing doesn't live in, so of course she has to give the company employees the enjoyment. Remember to restore the original appearance after living there."
Xu Wei would not think too much. Many years later, she might understand that Zhang Ke spent his time preparing this house for Xu Si. At this time, she really thought it was prepared for Xie Wanqing. Xie Wanqing worked in Haizhou all year round. It was not a strange thing for a wealthy family to prepare an extra residence. In her eyes, only Xie Wanqing had such a high style.
Xu Wei happily went downstairs and shouted to Chen Feirong: "Feirong, Feirong, let's live in this house tonight..."
Seeing Xu Wei go downstairs happily, Xu Si said to Zhang Ke: "Thank you, you might as well return to Hong Kong if you stay there for a while, you will feel a little regretful..."
"God knows how much I want to live here with you." Zhang Ke said helplessly, taking advantage of Xu Wei's downstairs, hugging Xu Si and gently printing on her lips.
Since you can go here at night, there is no need to visit it carefully at this time.
Zhang Ke, Xu Si, Xu Wei, Chen Feirong went to meet with Xu Hongbo and the others in front. The house in front was also very distinctive. Chen Qi hesitated a little. If the house he chose to build a restaurant was also renovated like this, it would be the most stylish private restaurant in Haizhou City. He was afraid that he would not be able to achieve this level.
Zhang Ke knew his concerns and said, "When I went to Beijing to have fun, I wanted to live and eat comfortably, not in those skyscrapers, but in Siheyuan Hutong. The private restaurants in the narrow alleys of Beijing Hutong are very distinctive. Many foreigners with high noses and blue eyes like to drill in it. The ingredients are not very high-end, but each company has special skills. The restaurant is not large in size, and it cannot accommodate hundreds of people to hold a seat. However, there are hundreds of people who queue up to book seats every day. There are no distinctive private restaurants in Haizhou. I think we can have a place here..." This is the first time Zhang Ke said affirmative tonight.
Zhou Fu said: "Only by having a banquet, you will choose a Xicheng Hotel. You have to set up a scene. Two or three friends have a drink. Who would run to the Xicheng Hotel? If you really prepare in this way, I think it's okay..."
After seeing the house after the renovation, Chen Qi also had such a strong thought: it would not be demolished for a while. If the entire Danjing Lane could be renovated like this, it would be a waste of resources.
Danjing Lane said it is not long. It is more than 400 meters from north to south. There are relatively large houses on both sides of the alley. Before liberation, there were houses where wealthy families lived. Many of them were born here with famous people in Haizhou City, but the entire alley has 40 or 50 houses, which are renovated according to this standard, and at least 70 to 80 million.
Zhang Ke remembered the Xintiandi in Shanghai. Danjing Lane could completely learn from the Xintiandi model, and the scale was much smaller. With less than 100 million plates, it would be possible to operate it if it could take out 30 million. It would only take the city's policy to change before it can be operated on the table. As long as Danjing Lane is successfully operated, the entire Shatin East area can be preserved, which can not only attract other investments, but also subsidize part of the funds.
Of course, the topic of this night would not go so far.
Liu Fen asked: "If the house is to be renovated like this, the money invested is probably a lot of money. I'm afraid the rent will not be cheap, right?"
"I'm afraid it won't be too high?" Zhang Ke used a question to hint to Xu Hongbo.
"It can't be high, and it can't be rented out even if it's high," Xu Hongbo took Zhang Ke's words, "The guy who invested here said that the market should be cultivated in the early stage. This is a nice saying. We call it a condom. When your private restaurant is in full swing, don't expect the rent to continue to be cheap..."
Everyone thinks that this place cannot be demolished. Think about it, if everyone is not sure, it is impossible to make such efforts to renovate the old house. It is true that there is no change in the city, but what inside information can ordinary people know? The so-called seeing is real, and you can understand it in your heart after seeing it in your heart.
Besides, how much loss can be caused just to wait for someone to renovate and rent it into a restaurant and then demolish it?
At this moment, Chen Qi did not hesitate and said to Xu Hongbo: "Okay, just choose Danjing Lane. When will Teacher Xu have time to make an appointment?"
"For a guy like us who is so poor, it's a big deal, but they may not be willing to come out specifically for this little thing. I'll ask you for a question, maybe they will ask you to contact the construction company directly..." Xu Hongbo said, "A few houses are left to the construction company for renovation. That construction company is the second son of Xue Guohua who often plays chess in my place..."
Xue Guohua often invites Xu Hongbo to drink in Chen Qi's restaurant. Chen Qi is also aware of it. When it comes to repairing ancient buildings, Xue Guohua is the person who speaks the most in Haizhou. However, his expertise is to repair the old as the old, and to transform the old into a suitable residence for human settlements. Xue Guohua's second son has accumulated a lot of experience in recent years. The technical content here is definitely no less than building a skyscraper.
Xue Guohua's second son's construction company used to be able to operate in other places. Now, there are not many people in China who invest in ancient houses. Although they don't have much work, the profit is high. In 1995, ordinary bricklayers had a daily salary of only in their early twenties, and the daily salary of his technical craftsmen was 60 or even higher. Zhang Ke wanted to transform the Shatin building complex on a large scale immediately. He could not find so many skilled craftsmen, and handing over the old house to the hands of laymen would be ruined.
When he got to the alley, Xu Hongbo pointed out several houses that Zhang Ke wanted to buy to Chen Qi and the others, and had already negotiated with the original residents. Chen Qi liked which building that building would be renovated first.
The city has not carried out municipal renovation of Danjing Lane. The roads in Danjing Lane are still filled with bumpy bluestone paving. However, on the west side, the northern section of the original street market was a parking lot specially built by the city for Futian Building. Futian Building is also surrounded by walls and is speeding up construction, but there is a passage in the north. After the Futian Building is completed in a few months, the environment on the west side of Danjing Lane will be completely changed.
At this time, the site selection and renovation were just the day when the Futian Building was completed.
Even if you build a private restaurant, there is no need to choose a lively place at the entrance of the alley. Chen Qi still needs to think about where to choose.
Xu Wei said that the three girls wanted to stay in the house behind. Although I had never seen the house behind, Liu Fen still said enviously: "The room in Xicheng Hotel cannot catch up with such a good house. It will be converted into a hotel. I will stay for one night when I have money..."
The hotels that Zhang Ke remembers deeply about Beijing include the Lusongyuan Hotel, which was renovated from the Senggelinqin Palace in the Qing Dynasty, and the Hejingfu Hotel, which was renovated from the Princess Hejing Palace in Gulun. These can be learned from them to discover the commercial value of the Shatin ancient building complex. After seven or eight years, I will look back and see that this is very valuable.
