Chapter 43 The Five Great Courtyards

The second day's meeting was actually quite simple, it was nothing more than a matter of prioritizing the project.

At present, although he has plenty of funds in his hands, he has to make a trade-off in everything, and he can only pick up the most important thing.

The first major input is TT, and the server network is built along with this project.

The second project, of course, is PC, and the layout is about to start at present, because the acquisition of country M may be reached at any time.

The third is Starlight Culture, and it is too wasteful to place the resources in his hands.

The fourth is the express delivery company, which is related to the overall situation of Alibaba.

As for the rest, there is no hurry.

After finishing the affairs of Huating, Wang Ziyan took Huang Jiaqi to fly to the imperial capital.

On the plane, Wang Ziyan looked at the information handed to him by Huang Jiaqi, which was a photo of the courtyard and an evaluation report.

There are not many sets, only about twenty sets, and there is a quotation behind each set.

Most of them are small courtyards with an area of two or three hundred square meters, which feels a bit small.

Wang Ziyan painted in circles, excluding most of the houses, and in the end only five sets of larger or promising courtyards remained.

Even so, the price Wang Ziyan has to pay is not small, excluding the purchase price of more than 20 million, the maintenance and renovation costs in the later stage may be more expensive.

According to Wang Ziyan's estimates, this cost may end up in the billions.

The first set is a set of courtyard houses located in Xuejiawan Hutong at the front gate of Dongcheng, a typical Han building, which used to be a four-grade civil official compound.

It is said that when it was designed and built at that time, according to the theory of architectural aesthetics, it was designed as a rectangular courtyard with a north-south and east-west section, and it was also a regular courtyard house.

The door is open in the southeast corner, these are the "Kan Zhai Xun Gate" said in the gossip direction: "Kan" is due north, occupying the water level, and building a house in this direction can avoid fire. "Xun" is the southeast direction, occupying the wind position, and opening the door here is to ask for smooth entry and exit, safe color head.

The house is located just outside the front door, just 1.6 kilometers from the main entrance of the palace and 800 meters from the Temple of Heaven Park, a block away.

The transportation of this house is very convenient, the alley is very spacious, you can walk the car, there is a parking lot next to 50 meters, and parking is also very convenient.

It is 37.6 meters long from north to south, 13.3 meters wide from east to west, the large courtyard area is 456.2 square meters, and the house type is nine bedrooms, five living rooms and four bathrooms, which was built in the early Qing Dynasty.

The price of this house is 4.5 million, which is relatively slightly expensive.

The second set is a two-entry main courtyard built 270 years ago, located in Dongcheng East Sibei Street, which is also an official residence and has a clear heritage context.

Covering an area of 460 square meters, the house area is 350.4 square meters, sitting in the north and facing south, it is a common well-preserved courtyard in Beijing at present, which is a rectangular courtyard that is long from north to south and short from east to west, and is divided into 22 rooms in the front yard and back yard

This house is located in the east of the Imperial City, directly north of Wangfujing, close to the root of the Imperial City.

This house is quite dilapidated and needs to invest a lot of money in maintenance, but Wang Ziyan has no idea about it, if necessary, just renovate it.

The offer of this set is slightly more expensive than the first set, with a price of 5.8 million, which is the most satisfying set for Wang Ziyan considering the location.

The third set is located in a Zhangfan Hutong near Hepingmen in Xicheng District, 700 meters away from Chang'an Street, on the south side of Chang'an Street, on the west side of Qianmen East Street, close to the central axis.

The courtyard courtyard is positive, there is no lack of corners, the width is 10 meters, about 30 meters, and it covers an area of 285 square meters, of which the house area is 224.8 square meters and the courtyard area is 60 square meters.

The gatehouse frontage is a two-storey building, planned as 9 bedrooms, 2 living rooms and 2 bathrooms.

It is 100 meters away from Qianmen Street and only 500 meters away from Zhushikou Metro Station, with convenient transportation.

It is also the main seat of the two into the quadrangle, sitting north and facing south, and the gate is located in the southeast corner.

The entrance is the front yard, and there is a large black date tree in the courtyard, and from the porch, you can enter the back yard, and there is a large toon tree in the courtyard.

The two branches are luxuriant, and the canopy is full of courtyards, which is a microcosm of the history of the house.

The price of this courtyard house is 3.6 million, and the asking price is expensive because of the rent of the attached gatehouse, a business of 60,000 yuan a year.

The fourth set is located in the North Xiawazi Hutong of Andingmen, Dongcheng District, close to Nanluoguxiang, Beiluoguxiang, Houhai, Zhonggulou, and Guozijian.

This is a set of two-entry courtyard, the courtyard of the 74th grandson of Confucius, covering an area of 587 square meters, with a house of 330 square meters.

The courtyard sits in the north and faces south, with a small bridge and flowing water in the courtyard, a pavilion at the four corners, and a shadow wall.

The price of this set is 6.2 million, the normal price, and it also requires a lot of effort to transform.

The fifth set is the last one selected by Wang Ziyan, and there are no other advantages, the house is in tatters and on the verge of collapse.

Wang Ziyan takes a fancy to his geographical location, which is located on the north edge of Houhai in Shichahai, Xicheng, 30 meters away from the north shore of Houhai and 50 meters from the water.

It is the center of the famous Houhai Bar Street, located at the junction of Houhai and Xihai, a typical gathering place for people.

The courtyard house covers an area of 322 square meters, and the owner has obtained the approval for the renovation of the dilapidated house, but because of insufficient funds, he is ready to sell.

It is convenient to park in front of the door, located at the intersection of two alleys, the width of the alley has reached 7 or 8 meters, it is convenient to enter and exit the car, and there is an exclusive open space in front of the door, which can park three cars.

The offer for this house is 4.5 million.

Wang Ziyan looked at the addresses of the five houses and found a very interesting phenomenon, that is, these five houses surrounded an imperial city and formed a big circle.

In the afternoon, the plane landed at the Imperial Capital International Airport, and the car of the law firm's Imperial Capital Office was already waiting outside the ground arrival hall of the terminal.

The car is a Mercedes-Benz business, quite a high-end car.

The two stayed at the Wangfu Hotel at No. 8 Goldfish Hutong in Wangfujing, Dongcheng District, rested for one night, and began arduous negotiations the next day.

Wang Ziyan had a dry mouth, and it took three days to finally get these five properties after paying 23 million.

Two of them, located near Wangfujing and located in Zhangfan Hutong, can be moved in immediately, while the other three are in need of varying degrees of restoration, especially the one on the shore of Houhai, which may be more expensive than completely tearing down and rebuilding.

I asked the lawyer of the law firm to find two companies specializing in the restoration of ancient buildings for consultation, but the one on the back beach has no restoration value, and it is recommended to give up.

The other two sets require a detailed evaluation before a specific offer can be determined.

Wang Ziyan asked Huang Jiaqi to return to Xiangjiang first, and the business of the imperial capital was handed over to the law firm office of the imperial capital.

And Wang Ziyan stayed here, on the one hand, because the transfer of property rights of the courtyard was very troublesome, and on the other hand, he was waiting for the ancient building restoration company to give an offer.

However, there is basically no need for Wang Ziyan to operate specific affairs in the transfer of property rights, and there is no need for him to be present from time to time when the law firm is watching the restoration assessment of the courtyard, so he is idle.

On the morning of August 19, Huang Jiaqi was sent away, and Wang Ziyan began to arrange for 132 securities companies to start closing positions, and the closing point was controlled above 11,300 points, but the action was slow.

And then, Wang Ziyan was completely idle, and he decided to go shopping in the imperial capital.

It's nonsense to say, in his previous life, he had to come to the imperial capital city almost three to five times a year, but except for a hasty stroll around the large courtyard of the Forbidden City, he didn't even visit other attractions.

I always come in a hurry, then have a meeting, talks, negotiate, sign a contract, and then hurry back to deal with the follow-up affairs.

So this time, he decided to pick a few attractions and take a good look.

First Dongdan, the Palace Museum, Xidan, and finally the Juyongguan Great Wall, he decided to spend four days visiting these areas because his free time was exactly five days.

In addition to Wangfujing on the Dongdan side, there is Dongdan Park.

I walked around Wangfujing in the morning, walked around Dongdan Park in the afternoon, and entered Dongdan Stadium at three o'clock in the afternoon, and met someone playing basketball.

After watching it for a while, Wang Ziyan couldn't bear the loneliness.

He has good physical fitness, wearing a sportswear and basketball shoes, which was originally for shopping comfortably on a hot day, but now it is also convenient for him.

The six people were three-on-three in the half, and the two sides played evenly, and everyone had a unique skill.

Of course, in his previous life, he watched a lot of games and videos, and he has played for more than 20 years, of course, he is the most skilled.

Change direction in front of the body, worship the Buddha, make a big loop, turn around and change direction......

Three-pointers, pullup jump shots, mid-range, basket licks......

I didn't dare to buckle when I played, for fear of injury, but later the activity started, and there were two one-handed splits when I was resting.

At this time, the domestic playing technology can only be regarded as decent, and it will take a few months for the big AI to enter the NBA to play, so a large change of direction in front of the body is still a difficult action in China.

Finally, Wang Ziyan also made a cameo appearance as a technical coach for free, teaching a few golfers some more practical monetization actions.

The next day, I visited the Forbidden City, admired the remains of Taizu, visited the Forbidden City Museum, and went to play ball again in the afternoon.

He felt a little addicted, he was in his previous life, and he still is.

Even if I haven't played for a few months, as soon as I touch the ball, that sense of familiarity returns to my body.

On the morning of the third day, he didn't go out to play, but went to the law firm, where two houses were transferred today, and he needed to pay the final payment.

In the afternoon, when he was fine, he went to play again, this time with more people.

A kid from the courtyard was a little angry by him, and his movements became bigger and bigger, but before Wang Ziyan could get angry, someone pulled him away.

Here, it is normal to be humiliated, where can the sports institute teach regular basketball, where can you fight Wang Ziyan, who is used to playing wild ball?

The kid was persuaded for a while, but he accepted the facts, and no longer made indifferent movements, but carefully observed Wang Ziyan's movements and techniques.

To be honest, Wang Ziyan admires this kid a lot, his skills are good compared to his peers, although he looks two years younger than himself, but his height is already about the same as himself, and he should be able to grow to more than 190 if nothing else.

Wang Ziyan is not a generous person, he will always return it when others scold him, and on the premise of teaching him a lesson, he doesn't mind if he learns secretly.

So, he began to command the pull, changing tricks and starting to abuse people.

But it wasn't in vain, he could clearly feel the technical progress of the kid on the other side, which made him start to be a little interested.

So, he began to deliberately slow down each movement a little so that the other party could see clearly.

When the other players on both sides saw this, they also understood that this was a rare opportunity, so they also opened up and let the two go head-to-head.

In the end, both sides stopped fighting, just watched the two people go back and forth there, and there are no rules, that is, you attack one, I attack one.

Playing until it was dark, the two of them could be regarded as receiving the ball.

Before leaving, Wang Ziyan said to the kid: "Come again tomorrow, I will teach you a few tricks alone." I'm leaving in a few days, and I don't have many opportunities. ”

The kid glanced at the hotel logo on the pocket that Wang Ziyan was carrying, and didn't say anything, just nodded silently.

The next day, August 23, Wang Ziyan rejected the plan to go to Juyongguan, did an individual exercise in the hotel gym, and came to Dongdan Sports Park at two o'clock in the afternoon.

The kid had already led someone to wait there, and when he saw Wang Ziyan walk in, he quickly cleared the field and waited for him to get off the field.

This afternoon, Wang Ziyan started the teaching mode, starting to teach little by little from shooting rate, speed change, block and dismantle shooting, block and break through, etc.

Coming out of the academy, the shooting is basically a fixed mold. There will be no big problems with this shooting position, but there will be a lot of minor problems, especially in terms of shooting speed, which will be much slower.

But these are technical issues, just learn slowly.

In the end, Wang Ziyan took his own physical training plan at the Peninsula Hotel and handed it to him, which was passed down from Country M, and the NCAA top college team members exercised diet plan.

When he was leaving in the evening, Wang Ziyan knew the name of this kid, Cheng Jiang, a name he had never heard of.
