Chapter 138: Enclosure
The first step must be to delineate the key scope of future real estate.
Because as the saying goes, good steel has to be spent on the edge of the knife.
No matter how much money you have, you can't see any house, and the investment must be targeted.
So Hong Yanwu bought a map of the capital and began to draw on it.
And since he knew how the future would evolve in his previous life, and he was repeatedly inspired and taught by his father in this life, it was naturally wiser to make a judgment.
The final core area is north of Chang'an Avenue, south of Andingmen, west to Xidan Xisi, and east to Dongdan Dongsi.
As for why it's so circled?
And for good reason.
First of all, because the houses in this range are the best.
You must know that before the city wall was demolished, the capital was in the shape of a "convex" character, divided into two parts: inner and outer.
The inner city is in the north, and the plan is a long rectangle from east to west.
The outer city is in the south, also known as the south city, and the east and west are more than 500 meters wide and the inner city is more than 500 meters.
The inner city is divided into three concentric circles, which can also be seen as three concentric circles.
The center is the Forbidden City, the second is the Imperial City, and the third layer is the Great City that surrounds the Imperial City.
In the past, people often said that "the inner nine outer seven imperial city four", that is, the nine gates of the inner city, the seven gates of the outer city and the four gates of the imperial city.
Although it is said to be a city gate, it also sums up the outline of the capital well.
In addition, there is an old saying that "the east is rich and the west is expensive".
The meaning of this sentence refers to the fact that the west of the inner city is mostly the "mansion gate" of the heavenly nobles, and the east of the inner city is mostly the "house gate" of bureaucrats and politicians, and the wealthy businessmen.
As for why there is a phenomenon of "the east is rich and the west is expensive"?
This is determined by the layout of the capital in the past.
First, Chang'an Avenue is the only parallel line in the inner city that directly connects to the east and west of the city.
And the middle part of it was closed due to the presence of the imperial city.
Therefore, before the Qing Dynasty, the transportation between the east and west of the capital was very inconvenient.
You must go south to detour the first three gates, or go north to detour outside the Di'an Gate.
This has always been the case in the Ming and Qing dynasties.
This has created a situation where the east and west sides are relatively separated from each other.
Second, the gate of the house, that is, the palace.
Inside lives the uppermost part of Aixin Jueluo's children.
These mansions of theirs can not be restricted by the boundaries of the banner, and they choose places with a quieter and more spacious environment, and many of them are rebuilt according to the mansions of the Ming Dynasty.
The most iconic example is the area around Shichahai in the northwest of the capital and south of Jishuitan, which is the most beautiful area of the capital and has become the first choice for them to settle.
And like the "half-acre garden" where Hong Yanwu's grandmother's family lives, although it is in the pile of banners, it is already a relatively Xuanhe mansion.
But he still can't compare with the real Prince Baylor in terms of status.
That's why the Wanyan family lives in the east of the city, which shows the distance gap in status from the location.
If anyone has the heart to look at the statistics, that's even more illustrative.
Because the Qing Dynasty palace in the capital has seven-tenths in the west city and only three-tenths in the east city.
Three-tenths of the eastern city also included the palaces of some Mongol princes.
This is enough to show that "Xigui" is of practical significance, not just a general talk.
Anyway, all in all, the place where Hong Yanwu is now delineated, the goal is absolutely stable, accurate, and ruthless.
To put it bluntly, the scope of the imperial city in the past is so much bigger.
But this circle is not white, and it also includes "Jishuitan", "Shichahai", "Guozijian", and "Guijie".
It is definitely the core center of the capital in addition to the Forbidden City.
Needless to say, within this range, there are naturally some of the best mansions in the capital.
It is estimated that you can find a neat yard at random, at least enough for the district-level cultural protection level.
Secondly, Hong Yanwu demarcated this area because the houses in this area can be preserved permanently and will not be subject to the risk of demolition.
He is different from ordinary people, he is absolutely not short of money, and he has no intention of making a fortune through demolition, and there is no need for this.
He attaches more importance to the appreciation and utilization of these core assets.
In his eyes, these houses are bought with a title deed.
That can be passed down from generation to generation as a foundation, and it is no different from those literary toys and calligraphy and paintings.
If there is, it is more practical and commercially applicable.
It can't be that he finally bought a house and came back, and it took him half a day to repair the house.
It's not beautiful for a few days, and when the government gives an order in the 90s, I will pick it up again.
Didn't he lose money and make money? Why is he making this mess?
With this kind of work, it is better to collect a few more pieces of calligraphy, painting, antiques or jewelry and jade, right?
Of course, after the specific range circle is drawn, Hong Yanwu can't just be proud of himself, he also has to let his father palm him.
This is to get a few words of praise, and the second is to need the support of the old family.
Think about it, when you buy these houses, you can't always use his name for the transfer, right?
It's so eye-catching.
Well, no one in the family runs from top to bottom.
From parents to brothers and sisters, they all have to contribute their identities one by one and transfer them to the local owner.
But this matter, if there is no old man's approval, how can it be done?
Let's just talk about the big brother, then it must be resolutely opposed.
Not to mention that he was scared into a mouse by "sports", he didn't dare to buy property, and he would also say that it was useless to buy this old house, and it was a waste of money to play.
Except for my father, who knows how to do economics, I am afraid that no one in the family understands the value of these houses, and no one understands his painstaking plans for his relatives.
Sure enough, Hong Yanwu's idea was right.
Hong Lucheng looked at his map and listened to his plan.
Indeed, he generally agreed with his idea of buying and selling houses in the core area of the capital while the price was still low and the price was still low.
He also agreed that he should list the property in the name of the whole family to avoid attracting attention and showing off.
even felt that he was willing to pay for the house by himself, but he was willing to put it in the name of his brother and sister, which was a bit selfless and worthy of praise.
But the only thing that the old man didn't understand was that he had clearly told Hong Yanwu that the Qing Dynasty business districts were mainly distributed in Dongsi, Xisi, Dongdan, Xidan, Drum Tower and Qianmen.
So why didn't my son bother to get some shops in these most prosperous places?
On the contrary, it is to stop at these places and put on a resolute posture not to touch?
Inevitably, you have to ask the truth.
Unexpectedly, this time he could touch Hong Yanwu's itchy flesh, and this kid immediately danced with his eyebrows.
He took out the experience of his previous life and pretended to be a prophet, pointed to the map, and gave his father a good idea.
This means that with the development of the economy and the imminent expansion of the city, these major commercial streets will soon be unable to meet the requirements of transportation and commerce.
Therefore, these old commercial streets are the first targets of demolition and reconstruction.
When the time comes, the roads will be widened and commercial buildings will be lined up.
If buying a house will be ruined, why should he be involved in it?
Is it for the sake of the compensation given by the state?
The standard of this year......
Hehe, what are you doing with that?
But then again, while these old commercial booming areas can't talk about buying a house, it doesn't matter.
Because the country has been reformed, it can be rented in the future, and the profits can still be shared.
In addition, economic development, the opening of the country, and the increase in foreign and foreign tourists to Beijing are inevitable.
Then within the scope of his circle, a new type of tourist business area will emerge that relies on eating attractions.
It's almost everywhere you look.
What is the Forbidden City, Beihai, Shichahai, Nanluoguxiang, Guozijian, Jingshan, Guijie......
Wait, why are you so confused?
Hey, why did you pull the Lama Temple out?
No, this has to be circled back......
is different from Hong Yanwu, who pointed out the rivers and mountains with a high spirit, staring at the map and drawing blindly.
His own father couldn't believe it, and he almost listened stupidly.
But don't get me wrong, Hong Lucheng was not surprised by his son's foresight, he was surprised by another thing.
"What do you say? Do you think these high streets will be demolished? Well, you may have some truth in what you think. Can...... But why should the front door be demolished?"
Before Hong Yanwu could speak, the old man then retorted.
"No, you can't. You're foolish. I'm afraid it's not appropriate to tear down the 'big fence' and build a big high-rise building? It is a commercial street that has been formed since the Ming Dynasty, who is it hindering? For hundreds of years, it was a symbol of the capital. ”
"Oh, Daguanlou, Judequan, Ma Juyuan, Ruifuxiang...... These old shopkeepers' small buildings have all been demolished and built into buildings, and they are just poking at the front door of the building?
Hong Yanwu hurriedly explained.
"Dad, isn't it to expand the street, there will be more cars on the street in the future. Where is this going to be done now? It is good to connect from the south to the north. ”
"In addition, you are also in a hurry, when the time comes, it will definitely not be demolished to build the building, but to be demolished and then replaced. The road is out of the way, and a new commercial street is built next to it, and it is still the same as the old-fashioned small building......"
Yes, it's okay not to say these two sentences, but Hong Lucheng is even more anxious when he says it.
"You're so brainless. Then don't you look at it, the front gate building is blocked, and behind it is Tiananmen Square, the Forbidden City. Do you really want to run through the north and south, from Xuanwu Gate to Xinjiekou, from the Beijing Railway Station to Dongzhimen, the two major roads can't work? Do you have to compete with the front door?"
"What else? You say that you will relocate and build a new commercial street, and also build an old style of small building? You really dare to think about it. From the Ming Dynasty to the Qing Dynasty, and then to the liberation, these old shops were built by each merchant at their own expense, and the style is Western and Chinese, and the materials are different. This is an unprecedented commercial street in Beijing and even in the country, and it can't be compared to any other commercial street. Are you going to rebuild?
"Besides, it's not old if you can build it again. Pickles all know, where is the fragrance of the old tank in the new tank? Okay, when I come to you, I will dismantle it, and I don't want to think about it, and if it is dismantled, it will be gone. Can't, can't, can't ......"
Well, this is all down, and even the words of "Saw Tank" have come out.
gave Hong Yanwu a straight roll of his eyes, and there were words of suffering.
Because he recruited someone to provoke someone, he really took a beating for others in vain.
But he also heard this, and his heart moved.
He knows that some things in history may not have been solved in such a satisfactory way, and there are indeed better possibilities.
Not to mention anything else, according to the old man, it would be a pity that the front door was demolished.
If the business atmosphere of Dashilar always maintains the status quo, does not decline into a low-end commodity sales place, it is not dilapidated, it is miserable, it is not full of potential safety hazards and there is a lack of funds to repair it.
If after the 90s, the Qianmen area can play a role in attracting gold like the "Shichahai" area.
The authorities may not be able to find a better way to transform and preserve the area.
Yes, yes, if I ...... Maybe......
Coincidentally, when Hong Yanwu was a little excited and thought about it deeply, the phone in Hong's house rang.
Hong Yanwu saw that the phone was beside him, so he answered it casually.
Unexpectedly, the second brother's happy and anxious voice came from inside.
"The third, the third, where are you? Tell your parents that your sister-in-law is about to give birth. The people have already sent the Concord ......"
The second group has been opened, group number: 608640021
