Chapter 435 Isn’t it too much to buy a courtyard house?

Zhu Yu brought the old man and his parents to the capital.

Zhu Fei didn't come, saying he wanted to stay at home - he said he had been here before.

The family didn't talk about him anymore. After all, they raised pigs and chickens and had to take care of the vegetable plot. If he didn't come, he didn't come.

Cao Dalong helped us book a five-star hotel early, not far from the Forbidden City.

"I'm not going to eat any fried noodles. Let's go to the Forbidden City first!" The old man was in good spirits and didn't look like someone approaching eighty at all. He entered the hotel and simply tidied up. After checking that the time was okay, he said.

Now that the old man has spoken, the family rushed directly to the Forbidden City.

Zhu Yu meant to buy tickets directly, but the old man seemed to be very experienced and said:

"No, let's go in and just watch the fun, that won't work. Let's sign up for a small group, a one-day tour, and have someone explain it. That would be interesting!"

Zhu Yu followed his kindness and immediately went to sign up for a one-day tour, and then his family of four followed the tour into the Forbidden City.

Previously, Zhu Yu's impression of the Forbidden City was far less than that of the Military Museum or the National Museum.

In his opinion, visiting these places is the real way to have a good time.

However, it felt good to follow the tour guide and listen and see all the way. At least I had a deep understanding of many things in the Forbidden City.

After coming out, the old man said with emotion:

"It was a worthwhile trip! I fulfilled my wish - but I was in a hurry and didn't feel like I had seen enough in one day. I was just looking at everything."

"Then let's stay a few more days and take a good look." Zhu Yu thought to himself, it doesn't matter. Even if we stay at home, it won't be a big deal. It won't matter if we just stay here for half a year.

"Forget it, let's go see other things, such as the National Museum you have been talking about. By the way, I also want to see the Temple of Heaven and the Temple of Earth..."

After the old man arrived here, he started talking more.

"It's not easy to get to Tiananmen Square now, but it would be nice to go up there and have a look..."

After listening to the old man's words, Zhu Yu's heart moved.

Living in the hotel, both the old man and Zhu Dahe and his wife felt a little uncomfortable.

"Xiao Yu, I heard that there are short-term rental houses nearby, with two bedrooms and one living room or three bedrooms and one living room. Let's rent them for half a month. It's better than living here."

Zhu Shoushan said this to Zhu Yu.

"That's right, living here is comfortable, but I can't cook and it's not convenient to eat anything..." Zhu Dahe got his wife's advice and had some ideas about living here.

The key is that it's too expensive.

"Okay, you go around first, I'll go and ask around." Zhu Yu understood the elders' thoughts and knew that they were not suitable for staying in a hotel.

Then change it!

He immediately contacted the agent.

"Buying a house? Near the Forbidden City? What kind of demand do you have?"

The other party was very professional, so Zhu Yu expressed his thoughts:

"I want to buy a courtyard house, preferably in the second ring road. It's a well-decorated one, not necessarily original, with modern facilities, just the same old one."

"What about the price?" The agent was very happy when he heard this. This request is simply their ideal!

"Let the price follow the market trend, it can be hundreds of millions or more."

Thanks to Yang Xiong's blessing, Zhu Yu thought that with the money he had recently received, he would be able to buy a suitable courtyard house.

Since the old man wants to live here, of course he cannot live in a building.

Although grandpa is relatively old, he is actually in pretty good health. There are not many people at this age who can catch fish in the water without arranging a fork.

But I am used to it in the countryside and cannot live in buildings at all, so naturally I want to buy a bungalow - in the second ring road, if you want to see the Forbidden City and buy a bungalow, the best choice, in Zhu Yu's opinion, is a courtyard house.

"Since there is no problem with the price, we have several options here. Mr. Zhu, you can take a look."

The other party gave information about three courtyard houses, and Zhu Yu fell in love with the big one at a glance.

This is a set of courtyards belonging to the royal family during the Manchu and Qing Dynasties. It is located on Di'anmen West Street, with a construction area of ​​more than 10,000 square meters and an area of ​​more than 6,000 square meters. It is about one kilometer away from the Palace Museum and can be reached on foot.

This courtyard is an antique courtyard building, but it has been modernized. It has three floors above ground and three floors underground, with housing, theater, swimming pool, underground parking lot, etc.

Although it was owned by the Manchu royal family, it was renovated after liberation and changed hands many times. Now there is no problem with cultural relics and can be traded normally.

Zhu Yu thinks this courtyard is better!

Mainly because the place is big!

Although it feels too spacious to live in, this thing maintains its value!

But the price is a bit exaggerated, 1.4 billion!

The other two courtyards are also good, but they are a bit far apart, and they are both courtyards that you enter.

Although there is a large locust tree in one of the courtyards that is several hundred years old and looks like an umbrella, Zhu Yu doesn't like it very much.

He remembered that the old man Zhu Shoushan said that it was the custom in his hometown not to plant these five ghost trees in the yard.

But the old man liked the Sophora japonica very much - so he planted a few purple Sophora japonica trees outside the courtyard in front of his house.

Zhu Yu pointed at the two courtyards and said:

"Can you still buy both of these places?"

"Yes, yes!" Seeing that Zhu Yu had circled the biggest one and the one with the most ancient charm, the intermediary couldn't speak clearly.

No matter how you look at it, the person in front of you doesn't seem like someone who can afford such a large courtyard house!

So he carefully said in a tone not to make Zhu Yu angry:

"Sir, I'm sorry, if we go to see the house, we have to verify the capital first. This is the owner's requirement..."

"No problem. I understand this." Zhu Yu naturally would not deliberately embarrass others, and his service was very considerate.

As you can imagine, there is no such thing as a dog looking down on people in a bloody story!

Zhu Yu handed over the card, and the agent checked it in the machine. When he saw so many zeros and numbers at the back of the card, the agent's eyes widened!

This guy really has a lot of money!

He handed the card to Zhu Yu with both hands:

"Mr. Zhu, when will we look at the house?"

"Stay a while, I'll bring the old man along. This time I'm buying a house mainly for the old man."

"Okay, okay." The agent immediately said: "Then wait a moment, I will drive!"

The agent quickly ran to ask the manager for instructions, then drove out the most luxurious Mercedes-Benz car in the company, then drove Zhu Yu to the hotel, picked up the old man and Zhu Dahe and his wife, and went to see the courtyard together.

"You said buying a courtyard house?" Mr. Zhu Shoushan was a little confused, "Why bother? Can't we just rent a suite?"

"It's okay, it's okay. If we buy this, we can live here if we want. If not, it can be an investment. It's better than staying upstairs. At least it's grounded!"

Zhu Dahe and his wife didn't talk. Since Zhu Yu left, his ideas were more positive and he could make money. Besides, with the old man around, they couldn't say much.

"Okay, let's take a look." The old man was also very curious about the courtyard house and wanted to take a look.

The agent first took him to see the royal courtyard. After only walking around for a while, the old man waved his hand and said:

"It's too big. In winter, even just sweeping the snow can't sweep it away..."

The agent thought to himself, after spending 1.4 billion to buy a yard, you still have to clear the snow yourself? Hire someone!

But he didn't dare to say this for fear of offending Zhu Yu.

Zhu Yu smiled and said:

"Let's look at another set and then talk about it after finishing it."

When he arrived at the other apartment, he looked at the courtyard and Zhu Shoushan nodded and said:

"This courtyard is elegant! It's not big, and it looks like the original owner was also a scholar. It's quite nice..."

"But this tree..." Zhu Yu hesitated, "Also, this place is not close to the Forbidden City..."

"What are you afraid of? There is a subway and a taxi!" the old man said, "Xiaoyu, if we want to buy something, let's buy this one. That one is too big and we won't feel comfortable living in it!"

Besides, as I said just now, it was built by the Manchu royal family, and it would not be good for our old Zhu family to live there!"

Well, the old man can pull it off, and Zhu Yu can't refute it anymore, so it's settled.

Although the agent was a little regretful that Zhu Yu and the others did not buy the big one, after all, that one had a higher commission!

But Zhu Yu is very good at buying this one. This one is much smaller than that one, but because of its cultural heritage and reputation, this set costs almost 400 million!

Just when Zhu Yu was asking the agency about something, the agency's phone rang.

Zhu Yu could tell that the other party asked him when he would come back and that there were still people who wanted to see this courtyard house.

This actually made Zhu Yu think that this courtyard might be more popular.
