Chapter 851 Finalized (Part 2)
"Not yet." Fang Yi said seriously as he looked at Bai Chuxia's somewhat confused expression.
"Isn't this a matter of agreement?" Bai Chuxia was stunned for a moment when she heard this, "Professor Zhang is not like the kind of person who goes back on his word. He will not sell it to others again, right?"
To be honest, Bai Chuxia likes this big yard very much. She enters the yard three times and can bring her grandfather over to live there at that time. Grandpa will definitely like the environment here. Bai Chuxia was raised by her grandfather since she was a child, so she has the deepest relationship with the old man.
"We haven't paid yet, why have we finished buying it?" Fang Yi laughed secretly. He intended to tease Bai Chuxia.
"Okay, you bully me!"
Seeing the wicked smile on Fang Yi's face, Bai Chuxia instantly understood, and Xiaoquan immediately went up. The fight between the two made Mr. Wang smile on his face. The younger generation had a good home, and they were filled with relief as elders.
"Girl, stop making trouble." The old man coughed and said, "Xiao Fang is right. Even if you buy it, it doesn't mean that you can live in this house."
"Uncle, what do you mean?" Bai Chuxia looked at the old man in confusion. This place was very close to where she went to work, and Bai Chuxia was thinking that she could move here.
"Although those houses were well built in the early years, they have been around for hundreds of years now and need to be overhauled!"
Mr. Wang said, "Let me say that, if Xiao Fang is financially prosperous, he will have to pay more than 10 million yuan for decoration. This is also the reason why I didn't recommend you to buy this yard before."
Although a century-old house carries a lot of history, the bricks and tiles were almost decayed after a hundred years of feng shui and rain. Especially in many places, the buildings of Siheyuan are made of wooden structures. The ones that are eaten by rats are even more severely damaged by insects.
In addition, those who moved in after the founding of the People's Republic of China were houses allocated by the unit, and they did not care much about living there. They opened a window to the east and the door to the west, and changed a good house in a mess, which also caused great damage to the house.
So if Fang Yi wants to live in a new house, there are many things to do. According to the old man's opinion, if Fang Yi has money, he will keep the original appearance of the courtyard. The so-called original appearance here means that it will be pushed down and built again, but built according to the previous rules and formats.
Although the old man works as a chef and does not know much about architecture, his house and Professor Zhang's family are from the same period. After driving away the tenants in the yard, the Wang family spent 400,000 or 500,000 yuan to renovate the house, but no major changes were made.
"Uncle, even if it is completely rebuilt, it doesn't cost so much, right?"
After hearing the old man finished speaking, Bai Chuxia was a little surprised. The courtyards were all bungalows, and there was no need to build scaffolding. Artificial building materials were not expensive. Although there were about 30 houses in total, in Bai Chuxia's opinion, two or three million was enough.
"Girl, the house here can't be demolished just by saying it's done, it can be built just by saying it's done."
The old man waved his hand and walked slowly with a cane, saying, "The reason why this area has not been demolished is that it has been classified as a protected area of cultural heritage. In other words, although these houses can be bought and sold, they cannot be destroyed as part of historical culture."
"Uncle, then we can't live in these old houses if we don't allow remodeling, right?" Bai Chuxia was a little anxious when she heard this. If she had spent more than 20 million yuan to buy a house that she had not allowed to move here and there, it would be better to go to the suburbs of Beijing to buy a villa to live in.
"Chuxia, don't listen to your uncle scaring you."
Wang Tianliang, who was following the old man, smiled and said, "It's not that you don't allow construction, but that you don't allow renovation. If you want to rebuild, you must build it according to the previous appearance of the Siheyuan. The relevant departments will supervise this. At that time, you just need to pass their inspection standards."
Wang Tianliang made it clear that the reason why building these houses is expensive is that they are special materials for these houses.
The bricks and stone materials used for houses that could be called history more than a hundred years ago are very different from those of today. No one has burned the blue bricks now, and the glazed tiles on the eaves and the reliefs on the curtain doors of the screen walls all need to be specially customized.
For this type of construction, ordinary construction companies cannot undertake it. They must find a company that specializes in restoring vintage buildings. The expensive building materials and the cost of craftsmen make it several times more expensive to rebuild such a yard than ordinary projects.
"This is not a big problem." After hearing Wang Tianliang explain the old man's words, Fang Yi said immediately: "Just find someone to knock it down and rebuild it, keeping the appearance unchanged, but the facilities in the house are arranged in accordance with modern times."
Fang Yi likes the freedom of life in the mountains and forests, which does not mean that Fang Yi also likes the various inconveniences in the mountains and forests. Not to mention anything else, when he was a child, he didn't even have a piece of paper in the toilet in the mountains, and often found a leaf or something else to replace it. Fang Yi must install this toilet.
"Fang Yi, why don't we take a look at other houses?" Bai Chuxia hesitated a little when she heard the words of her uncle and the others. Although she was not very clear about how Fang Yi's money came from, she felt a little distressed for Fang Yi after spending such a large sum of money.
"No need, just this one." Fang Yi said with a smile: "You have to believe in my ability to make money. If it really doesn't work, I will sell things at home every day. I dare not say that if I have too much, I will definitely make a thousand dollars a year."
The art market has always appreciated very quickly for artworks with extremely high artistic value and scarce resources.
In the year when Fang Yi disappeared, no new works were released, which also led to the price of Fang Yi's previous works soaring. A jade carving handheld piece with better material now costs at least a few hundred thousand yuan. Some time ago, Yu Xuan also said on the phone that Fang Yi was a blessing in disguise.
"Xiao Fang, it's okay to buy this set. Uncle Wang, I know someone who builds ancient buildings, but he is now continuing to live in Mount Wutai. If he finishes his work, he will come over to rebuild it for you, and the price will be more discounted."
The people who work in the hotel basically have a wide range of friendships, and the Wang family’s private dishes are well-known, so they naturally have many friends. Wang Tianliang knows some people in all aspects. The person he mentioned has helped the Wang family repair the courtyard.
Fang Yi thought for a while, shook his head and said, "Uncle Wang, I'll ask first. If I really can't find someone, I'll bother you then."
Fang Yi did not know the company that repaired ancient buildings, but it did not mean that he had no such a way. Not to mention anything else, even if Mr. Qin and Fang Yi retired from the Forbidden City were friends, Fang Yi believed that as long as he opened his mouth, he could still dig up a construction team from Mr. Qin.
"Okay, if you can't find it, don't be embarrassed to open your mouth." Wang Tianliang nodded when he heard this, and saw that he walked to the door of his house, and immediately said, "Xiao Fang, go in and have a few drinks before leaving?"
Fang Yi glanced at Bai Chuxia, saw her shook her head slightly, and said immediately: "Uncle Wang, it's late tonight. Old man, let's take a break first. Anyway, I have to come tomorrow, so maybe I'll bother you."
"Girl, come with Xiao Fang in the future, don't give any more money."
Mr. Wang suddenly said, "I saw the money you gave today. Forget it today. I won't accept it if I give it to you in the future. Don't talk to your grandfather's stubborn old man. This is not for you, but for Xiao Fang. If he has any questions, come to me."
Where the Wang family opened a hotel, Bai Chuxia's grandfather set a rule for the family. Don't think that the Bai family is kind to the Wang family, you can go to eat for free with confidence. As long as you go to the Wang family's private food to eat, you must pay according to the Wang family's price.
Mr. Bai is just a matter of words at home, so when Bai Chuxia left this day, he placed a belief that had been filled with 5,000 yuan under the cushion of the table. Although Mr. Wang was old, his eyes were not blurred, but he pretended not to see it at that time.
"Uncle, I'll listen to you." Bai Chuxia laughed when she heard this. She could imagine that if her grandfather became neighbors with her uncle in the future, then these two old children would probably quarrel endlessly every day and would not be lonely.
"Okay, then you go back and rest first. Let Tianliang take you to the procedures tomorrow." After all, he was old and had been with the two of them all night. Mr. Wang felt a little tired now, so he did not leave Fang Yi and Bai Chuxia anymore.
"Boss, boss, please get in the car!"
Just as Fang Yi and Bai Chuxia walked out of the alley, a figure came over. Fang Yi knew who it was when he approached, but it scared Bai Chuxia, "Fifth Brother, what are you doing? Hiding here sneakily."
"Girl, I'm working as a driver for you." Wei Mingcheng said with a look of grief and anger: "I was about to start a drink with a few buddies, but the old boy Liu Daguang called me back with one call. Tell me, is there any reason?"
Wei Mingcheng has been here for half an hour. If I hadn't thought about it in my heart, I would have felt that the major general was heavy. Wei Mingcheng really wanted to reply to Liu Daguang, and I would not serve him anymore.
Of course, Wei Mingcheng stayed here, which also shows that he was the one who bowed his back for five dou of rice. At this moment, he was comforting himself with the words in his heart that the soldier who did not want to be a general was not a good soldier.
"Fifth Brother, do you have any handle that was caught by Fang Yi?"
Seeing Wei Mingcheng's appearance, Bai Chuxia couldn't help but say suspiciously: "Fifth Brother, tell me honestly, have you made a girl's belly bigger? Then I was afraid that Fang Yi would tell her grandfather, so I followed him as an errand?"
"Bai Chuxia, am I your biological brother?!" Wei Mingcheng was so angry that he almost vomited blood by Bai Chuxia's words. He was determined to be a general and would become a person immediately. How could he do these stealing activities?
"Fifth brother, I'm really not a real brother, cousin!" Bai Chuxia smiled with her lips pursed. She was the closest to Wei Mingcheng since she was a child, because the reason was that her fifth brother was the easiest to make fun of her.
"Okay, early summer, don't let Brother Wei go. He has been busy for a day today, so we'll send you back first."
Fang Yi smiled and stopped the bickering between Bai Chuxia and Wei Mingcheng. He found that whether it was with Bai Chuxia's relatives like the Wei family or the Wang family, Fang Yi always felt particularly relaxed. What he hoped most was that Bai Chuxia's parents would also be opened in this way.
"Fifth Brother, you are just a big light bulb that can shine!"
Bai Chuxia made a face at her cousin. Because of the arrival of Wei Mingcheng, she spent less time alone with Fang Yi today. For some reason, after seeing Fang Yi this time, Bai Chuxia actually felt like she was in love.
"Fang Yi, let your driver pick me up tomorrow, and I will go with you to handle the transfer." After getting in the car, Bai Chuxia said to Fang Yi.
"Driver, who is the driver?" Wei Mingcheng turned around and glared fiercely, but he immediately reacted, "Buy a house? What house? You and Fang Yi have not had dinner tonight, so they went to buy a house?"
"I had a meal first, and then went to see the house. It looked good, so I decided to finish it." Fang Yi was afraid that Bai Chuxia would argue with Wei Mingcheng again, so he said first: "Chuxia, do you not want to go to work tomorrow? Why do you have time to go together?"
"I won't go, please leave!"
When talking about work, Bai Chuxia suddenly thought of what happened at the door of the ministry today. "There is a fly in the department buzzing in his ears all day long. I'm so annoyed. If it really doesn't work, I'll transfer to a unit and don't go to work there."
"Early summer, what is the background of that kid's home?" Wei Mingcheng asked.
"I heard that she is the son of a deputy ministries, and I don't know very well." Bai Chuxia has always been unwilling to people she doesn't like. She seemed to have heard her father mention it once, but she also went in and out of the right ear, and she didn't remember it at all.
"Only the official position of the ministry and commission corresponds to the rank of major general, which is worthy of provocation!" Wei Mingcheng whistled and said, "This matter is left to me. When I look back, I will let that boy disappear in front of you. If he dares to appear again, I will break his legs."
"Fifth brother, how long has it been since we met? Why have you become a dandy?" Bai Chuxia really felt unfamiliar with Wei Mingcheng who emphasized this kind of emphasis, because if my cousin dared to say such words in the past, his legs would have been interrupted by his uncle.
"Your fifth brother, I will be a general soon. Do you know that the general is bleeding and drifting, how can you say that your brother is a playboy?" Wei Mingcheng straightened his chest and thought proudly in his heart that if his cousin hadn't had a good relationship with him since childhood, he would definitely not have told her about this.
"Just blow!"
Bai Chuxia didn't believe his cousin's words. Although the Wei family has a deep foundation in the army, they would never be able to get a person under 30 to be promoted to a general. It would be a complete cover.
"Believe it or not, I will show you the general uniform in a few days!" Wei Mingcheng wondered if he would find Liu Daguang first tomorrow, and pre-provide a general uniform. Then he stood in front of his cousin wearing that outfit to see what she had to say.
