Chapter 22: Buying a House
I didn't see a few people when I came to the hotel, and I didn't have to think about it to know that this group of people must still be sleeping, so I could only go up and call by myself.
Half an hour later, five foreigners wearing hats given by Han Chunming gathered at the entrance of the hotel.
Han Chunming walked in front and held a small flag, full of ceremony.
No one saw this form and liked it very much, and they suddenly felt that they were the most beautiful boy on the street!
Han Chunming also told them in advance, the purpose of this is to be afraid that they will get lost, so that as long as he sees Xiaoqizi, he has to say where he is, and wearing a hat is the same reason, mainly to distinguish it.
Is there such a form in other places now, Han Chunming doesn't know, at this time, you have to have a letter of introduction when you go out, and the tourism industry is still not easy to develop.
The next thing is to take five people to wander around after all, all kinds of old Beijing hutongs, Temple of Heaven and parks, etc., anyway, it is controlled in two or three places a day, and it can't be played all at once, after all, it is more than two hundred dollars a day!
Han Chunming took a few people to play for five days, it's not that he doesn't want to make money, there is really nothing to do, and now many places are not open to the outside world, and foreigners are not allowed to visit.
"Han, we're going back too, thank you for taking care of me these days! We had a great time! ”
"I'm also glad that when you leave, I'll see you off when the time comes." Han Chunming said with a smile on his face.
After all, I have made a lot of money on these people in the past few days, and I must do a good job of service, and if a few people come back next time, I may be able to find myself.
"No need, we'll leave tomorrow morning, don't bother you, by the way, my phone number in the United States about this, if you come to the United States, remember to look for me, I will entertain you well."
Han Chunming took a note with the phone address written on it, he already knew that these people were from New York when he chatted before, but he didn't look carefully, it didn't matter, the important thing was that they gave a tip!
When he collected tips, he really felt that it was a good habit, and if it came to his head, he would not be happy if he didn't wipe him with a change.
gave a total of 500 yuan, these people are really generous, not only that, but when they left, they also gave him a watch, and the watch is still a famous brand!
It just so happens that I still lack a watch, and I haven't bought it before, but this time I saved it.
Thinking of a few classmates in the dormitory, Han Chunming thought about whether to stimulate them when he went back later, and they didn't even do such a lucrative job!
In order to finish the business of these people, Han Chunming has taken a few days off, and the head teacher has been patient to the extreme, so let's stay in peace for a few days first.
When I returned to school, I first went to the head teacher to explain the situation, and also showed off the watches sent by foreigners in front of him.
"Yes, how is this job? How much do you earn? ”
How could Han Chunming tell the truth about this, the money was too much, and he really didn't dare to say it.
"It's okay, it's okay, don't say it, my speaking is really improving really fast when I chat with them."
The head teacher also smiled lightly, and then said earnestly: "Of course, how can you make progress without communication, but you can't spend all your time on that, that's just a means of learning, and learning in school is the focus." ”
"I know the teacher, I will try to go to class during the break time in the future."
Han Chunming immediately assured that the reason why he asked for leave was also because the five people gave too much, five people, a day is two hundred and fifty US dollars, even according to the official exchange rate, it is five hundred yuan, which is equivalent to a worker's salary for more than a year without eating or drinking.
If you take it to the black market to change, you can get it one to five five and six, if you don't know the importance of academic qualifications, you really have the urge to drop out!!
No wonder there are so many big names who drop out of school and start a business at every turn, this special code has met the wind, and I'm sorry for myself if I don't do it!
When I walked to the door of the dormitory, I deliberately tugged on my sleeve and leaked the watch on my wrist, which must stimulate these people.
"Yo, brothers, combine work and rest, if you go on like this, aren't you afraid that your brain will be broken?"
"Don't make any noise, why did you come back at noon today? Don't take foreigners around? ”
"What do you mean by wandering, that's tourism, they'll leave tomorrow, by the way, how about you look at my watch? Handsome or not? ”
"Oh, I'm Cao, you just bought this? Yes, it seems that this trip has made a lot of money, what brand is this? ”
"Swiss brand, they didn't spend any money, hehe, let me tell you, this foreigner's money is really easy to earn, they have money, don't treat money as money, you study seriously, and when you have completed your studies, I will take you to earn dollars!"
Looking at the envious eyes of several people, Han Chunming knew that they were tempted, after all, who didn't blush at the visible benefits, the watch in Han Chunming's hand was enough for them to envy.
The eldest Lin Yongguo is the oldest of them, he is married, and the children are three years old.
"Chunming, can you teach us in the morning?"
The boss is really excited about what Han Chunming said about earning US dollars, their family's conditions are not good, if it weren't for the state subsidy for going to college, he really wouldn't have the money to go to college.
If it is really as Han Chunming said, using his spare time to earn some money, it will be of great help to him and can greatly improve the situation of their family.
However, Han Chunming shook his head: "This can not work, boss, I rented a house outside, and you know, I will often go outside as a translator in the future, and the dormitory is really inconvenient." By the way, if I'm okay in the morning, I'll rush over, let's go directly to the playground to contact, and ah, try to communicate in English when I am in the dormitory in the future, don't be embarrassed, I haven't opened my mouth so when will I learn! ”
Hearing that Han Chunming was going to move out, this group of people thought it was their problem, and finally it was the third Wang Xiaoshuai who spoke:
"Chunming, it can't be that we quarreled with you in the dormitory, right? If there's something wrong, just say it, there's no need to rent a house outside, don't say anything about wasting money, and no one will take care of it when something happens. ”
"Oh, it has nothing to do with you, I'll be honest with you, even when I'm at home, I live alone, it's really not your reason, and in the future, maybe I'll have to go out early and return late, I'm going to come back late, if the dormitory is locked, then I won't have a place to live."
The anger in the dormitory is a little sluggish, although there is not much time to get along, but the relationship between several people is still very good, there is a kind of arrogance of literati, and there are also their own moral standards, and it is like losing many adults to take advantage of others.
At the end of the day, it's still thin-skinned.
…………
With the deepening of learning, Han Chunming's writing is getting faster and faster, and sometimes he is also in a hurry, but there is no way, this matter has nothing to do with whether he is in a hurry or not.
I've seen a lot of it, if you want to copy it, you really can't copy it, it's still the same language, and it's more difficult to change to English.
Now Han Chunming has moved out to live, and with the change of weather, the scenery in the yard is getting better and better.
If nothing else, it was the walnut tree, which the original owner said was a decades-old southern Xinjiang stone, planted by his grandfather when he was young.
It's been two months since school started, and he's used to your current life, but he hasn't met any big customers in the work of the tour guide and translator, it's all a day and a half of a day's business, and the money given is not as generous as the five people last time, but it's not a lot, and Han Chunming has made more than 2,000 US dollars piecemeal.
At noon, just after class, Han Chunming did not go to the cafeteria, but went home directly, after all, he is not short of money now, and the food in the school cafeteria is really not very good.
Since moving, Han Chunming has basically not eaten much in the school cafeteria.
"Spring ...... Chunming, Chunming...... Chunming, wait for me. ”
As soon as I walked out of the school gate, I heard someone calling me, and when I turned around, it turned out to be Taozi, how did this kid find the school? Could it be that something happened to the restaurant?
"Taozi, why are you here? I want to come back to you on vacation. ”
When I went back last Sunday, I asked Taozi to help me give myself a house, not to live by myself, but to store the old things that I collected by myself.
After all, the yard that I rented when I was in tatters was a bit dilapidated, and I don't know when it will collapse, so I really don't know where to put my things.
"Let's go, let's go to the restaurant to eat first, and we'll talk about anything after eating."
Taozi didn't make a decision, after all, the two have been buddies for so many years, and they have been together for so long, and he also knows that some things are really inconvenient to say here.
"Chunming, do you want a house?"
The two found a small restaurant, and after coming in and sitting down to order, Taozi asked directly.
"Yes, what, there's news now?"
How could it not be, to know how much the housing prices in Beijing have risen in the future, how many people can't afford to buy a house here after a lifetime of struggle, and finally live a lifetime, he can't wait to buy the Forbidden City.
Even if he didn't have those old things, he would have to buy a house!
"There's news, no, I just came here to ask if you want to, if you want, let's go and see, if it's suitable, hurry up and settle down, this homeowner has an urgent matter and needs money."
After drinking a bottle of wine, the two of them didn't drink anymore, and they both knew that there was something in the afternoon, and they were too drunk to delay things.
"Let's go, Harun...... Chunming, I'll take you to see it now, this house is just east of the Forbidden City, you can see the Forbidden City from the yard, in the past, we can't live in it with money. ”
Taozi said this while taking Han Chunming to that side, and Han Chunming also knew the specific situation of the house.
Needless to say, the quality of the two-entry yard is how good it can be for more than a dozen households, but those well-preserved courtyard houses are either in the hands of the state or in the hands of large families, and they can't buy them themselves, and they won't sell them.
"I said Taozi, there are so many people living there, isn't this looking for trouble, we can't do anything if they don't move out?"
Taozi smiled and said, "This ...... You don't have to worry about this, as long as the house becomes yours, within a month, ensure that they move cleanly, I have inquired, those people's units have been divided into houses, the reason why they don't move away is to take advantage, if you know each other, it's fine, if you don't know each other, you just see how I do them. ”
After more than an hour, I finally arrived at the house that Taozi said, and there were two stone lions at the door, and the spots were a little red.
The two locked their bicycles at the door and walked into the yard, which was actually not much different from the Dashilar house, but the yard was smaller.
Private construction is indispensable, the yard is messy, and the previous luxury can only be seen from some details.
"Taozi, I don't know how much the owner of this house is?"
Han Chunming followed Taozi around the courtyard, and then asked.
Although this yard is really not good, but a good one, you can also clean it up, anyway, even if you buy a good house, you have to redecorate, it is better to buy here, mainly because the location is good.
This is really the center of the city, only a wall away from the Forbidden City, or seize this opportunity, if you want to buy a house in this location in the future, even if you have money, you may not be able to buy it.
"The landlord's offer is 20,000 yuan, I heard that he is going abroad, and I don't know what this person thinks, if he can't speak a foreign language, he has to run abroad and go out to be a dumb person?"
Han Chunming nodded: "The price is okay, but this house belongs to him alone?" Don't make a mess then. ”
"Don't worry, Haru...... Chunming, I have inquired clearly, he is the only one left in his family, who else can he belong to. By the way, he also lives here, in the backyard, and I'll take you over to see him, and if it can be settled, maybe the price can go down. ”
Taozi took Han Chunming to the backyard and stopped at the door of the main house in the backyard.
"Summer ...... Brother Xia, I'm here again, aren't you in a hurry, let's talk about the price this time, if it's appropriate, let's set it directly. ”
"Come, come, sit inside, I'll pour you water."
Hearing Taozi's words, Xia Dahu walked out of the room directly and let the two in.
"Brother Xia, the price you said last time is definitely not good, you also know that your yard has been hoarded like this, and we have to spend money to renovate it when we buy it, and ah, you don't know that these people who live in this yard are all a bunch of hob meat."
Hearing Taozi's words, Xia Dahu also shook his head helplessly:
"Hey, I know, how can you say these people can do this, this house was originally rented to them, I can't get the house back, and the street doesn't help me, I really can't help it!"
Han Chunming and the others listened to his complaints quietly, without even handing over a word, and went straight to the point.
"Brother Xia, you also know the situation of the house, I'll tell you a price, if you think it's appropriate, let's settle it today, if you think it's not suitable, just don't say it."
