It's the beginning of April, and there's still a whole month left before this quota cycle.

Shi Lei calculated the amount of consumption by himself.

Thirty percent of the non-income investment has been completely consumed, 20 percent of the city's copy consumption is no problem, and 10 percent of the collectible consumption Shi Lei has not yet been carried out.

However, this is also a very simple matter, with Shi Lei's current net worth and status, it will not be too difficult to find a collection of about 10 million.

And the remaining 40 million, in the past two months, Shi Lei's daily expenses are still relatively large.

During this time, he went to Myanmar once, then to Yulong, Spring City twice, and also to Rio de Janeiro, and later accompanied Song Miaomiao to London. The cost of travel alone has exceeded 10 million.

There are still 30 million left, which must be used up in a month, and the challenge is actually quite big.

From before the Chinese New Year to now, Shi Lei has experienced more than two months of war and chaos, three of which have even tested his life and death, Shi Lei should calm down and arrange the consumption of the next month.

In fact, it's only 30 million, and Shi Lei can buy a yacht, but considering that when he is promoted to level 5 in the future, he still needs to face the task of a new city dungeon. Shi Lei decided to put the yacht and private jet matter to the fifth level before proceeding.

Because Song Miaomiao also went to London, it directly led to Shi Lei being the only one left in Wu Dongjiu's huge villa.

Obviously he has three girlfriends, but now he has become a loner, except for the ferryman who is still missing, and there is nothing else to worry about Shi Lei, which causes Shi Lei to feel a little lonely and lonely in his life.

silently bought a gift for Sun Yiyi, Wei Xingyue and Song Miaomiao, of course, it was impossible to hand it over to them, but even if he bought a limited edition luxury bag, it was just a drop in the bucket for the amount he was facing now, and it couldn't consume much at all.

In addition to being bored, Shi Lei went to Xicheng to visit his parents, Shi Zhongping retired in advance and came to the company to help, and he also got started quickly, and now, he is quite an entrepreneur.

Seeing that his parents were still living in a rented apartment, Shi Lei had an idea to buy a suite for his parents.

After asking, I found that the housing prices in Xicheng are not directly proportional to the average income of the city, and the housing prices in Xicheng are incomprehensibly low compared to the surrounding cities.

The average income of Wudong is actually about the same as that of Xicheng, and even compared with the income of the city, it is slightly lower than that of Xicheng, but in terms of housing prices in the city center, Wudong has doubled that of Xicheng.

In Kuncheng, which is not far from Xicheng, the housing prices in the city center are a little higher than those in Wudong.

After careful selection, Shi Lei finally found an old house for sale in the center of the city, which is almost a hundred years old and exists as a protective building near the most prosperous pedestrian street in the city center.

It is very close to Shi Zhongping and Gao Yan's company, and it only takes about ten minutes to walk to the company.

After inquiring about the price, Shi Lei was very satisfied, and the sale price of this old house reached 23 million.

It stands to reason that such a set of old mansions in the style of the Ming and Qing dynasties covers an area of more than one acre, and it is still a courtyard with two entrances and two exits, even if it is in Xicheng, the price will not be so cheap.

The intermediary told Shi Lei that the reason why this house is so cheap is because it is a protected ancient building required by the government, although it is a private house, the owner is never allowed to demolish and renovate it without permission, and the government will make a part of the appropriate allocation every year to ensure the maintenance of this house. Therefore, there are special restrictions on the homeowner who takes over in many ways.

Shi Lei took his parents to this house for a walk, and Shi Zhongping and Gao Yan both fell in love with this quiet and deliberate house. Shi Lei told them about the restrictions of this house, and although Shi Zhongping and Gao Yan felt a little troublesome, they still couldn't stand the attraction of this house to them.

So, Shi Lei met with the owner and asked about the more specific situation of the house.

In the end, it was learned that the house was registered with the cultural department of Xicheng, and every year, the Cultural Affairs Bureau will allocate 400,000 yuan to this house for the repair of this house. However, the actual expenditure is almost 800,000 per year.

"Mr. Shi, I don't dare to hide this from you, according to the current situation, if you take over this house, you will need to spend about 400,000 yuan on repairs every year. Otherwise, to be honest, with such an acre of land in the city center, it is impossible to sell more than 20 million yuan. Moreover, in terms of interior decoration, the cultural department also has extremely strict requirements. If I hadn't negotiated with them again and again, they wouldn't have allowed me to install an air conditioner, according to the cultural department. ”

Shi Lei was stunned for a moment, and then turned his gaze to the roof and wall.

The owner also saw Shi Lei's doubts, and explained: "But it's okay now, everything has been resolved." To tell you the truth, in order to install the air conditioner, and at the same time ensure that the original structure of the house is not damaged, I specially invited ancient construction experts from the imperial capital to design, and finally spent more than 2 million to ensure the installation of the air conditioner, and at the same time did not have any damage to the building itself. You can look around, all the air conditioning pipes are laid in the newly added decoration, and the connecting pipes between the external unit and the internal unit have not damaged the original brick and wood structure. ”

Shi Lei nodded and said, "I'll just say it's strange, I obviously saw the air conditioner...... Hehe, sir, you've really bothered. ”

The owner sighed and said: "400,000 yuan a year's expenses, to be honest, I can still afford it, if it weren't for my age, and the children are living abroad, and want to take me over, I would be a little reluctant to take this house." After all, this house, our family, has lived for four whole generations. Brick by brick, even every flower and plant, I can accurately tell the location with my eyes closed. The key is that this house cannot be rented out or left empty, after all, it has to be maintained to a great extent every year, and I have discussed it for a long time with Director Zhang of the Cultural Affairs Bureau, and they cannot afford to buy my house, so I can only make this decision. ”

Shi Lei smiled and said, "Is it also our obligation to protect such ancient buildings?" ”

"It would be best if Mr. Shi could think so. Specifically, if you decide to buy it, Director Zhang of the Cultural Affairs Bureau will definitely communicate with you in advance. If it weren't for such trouble, to be honest, this house would have been sold a long time ago. ”

"Sir, you've talked about this, I won't say more, I'm very willing to take over this house, and I can accept the basic problems. Who told my parents to like this house? I also want them to live in this kind of winding environment when they get older. Then bother Mr. Lao, contact the cultural department to see what time to make an appointment, and we will understand the more specific situation. ”

The owner was slightly excited, before Shi Lei, there were no less than ten people who had come to see the house, but when they heard that this house was so troublesome, they basically retreated.

Only Shi Lei really showed his intention to buy.

"Mr. Shi, are you really sure?" the homeowner stood up.
