Chapter 083 Buying a house depends on Feng Shui (Part 2)
With money and a car, it would be easier for Ren Pingsheng to look at a house.
When he bought a house in Yanjing, he still followed the three principles he set, but this time he was not An Qi, but Lin Lisong, so he didn't need to think too much about the practicality of the house.
Anyway, he didn't plan to live in Yanjing for a long time. The houses here are mainly used for value preservation and loans, so they were much faster to choose.
The first thing Ren Pingsheng saw was the four-bedroom apartment on the 32nd floor of Park Avenue in ZY District, with an area of about 200 square meters and an average price of 18,000 yuan per square meter.
This community was developed by Hans Real Estate in the United States. Both sales and property were entrusted to JLL in Hong Kong. The main sales targets and residents were foreign executives. The apartment was American in style, with a floor height of more than 3 meters, with an open-air balcony and large floor-to-ceiling windows. With fine decoration, these are all in line with Ren Pingsheng's taste.
Moreover, near Park Avenue are the famous Sanlitun and Zhaoyang Park, so you don’t have to worry about having no place to go for leisure and entertainment.
What Ren Pingsheng is most satisfied with is that the community has a large lawn of 20,000 ping yards, lush green space and unobstructed view, which is very rare in the ZY area where every inch of land is valuable.
Although this community opened in 2002, due to the high total price, JLL still has several large apartments that have not been sold. Ren Ping came at the right time. Although it is rare for him to trade cash, Hong Kong-funded developers do not mind this.
After several rounds of bargaining, Ren Pingsheng bought No. 3202, 5 buildings for a total price of 3.2 million yuan. JLL received a 10% discount. Ren Pingsheng paid in one lump sum, and both parties got what they wanted.
The next house is in Haidian District. Ren Pingsheng originally wanted to buy a house near Wanliu, where colleges and universities are densely populated, but he really couldn't find a community that meets the three principles. In the future, the famous Wanliu Academy had no sign at this time, and he didn't want to lower the standards, so he had to expand the purchase scope to near Xishan.
Although Xishan is outside the Fourth Ring Road, it is one of the few villa areas in Beijing. There are Xiangshan Park, Botanical Garden, Forest Park and Badachu Park nearby. It can be said to be a must-visit place for people in Yanjing to take leisure and vacation, and it is also a natural treasure for building villas.
Ren Pingsheng looked at several villas and finally chose a single-family villa in Xishan Villa, with 2 floors above ground and 1 floor underground. The total area is 480 square meters, with an average price of 12,000 yuan per square meter.
Xishan Villa is also developed by a Hong Kong businessman, but this developer is not as easy as JLL. Ren Pingsheng negotiated several times, but the other party insisted that the original price would not let go.
In the end, Ren Pingsheng spent 5 million yuan to buy the villa, which was only 1,500 yuan per square meter.
Ren Pingsheng’s considerations for buying Xishan Villa:
First, because macro-policy regulation has great restrictions on villas, Yanjing City will issue multiple documents to control the development of villa house types in the future, especially single-family villas. If you buy one and buy one less, it is time to stock up at this time.
Second, the location of Xishan Villa is quite good. The surrounding environment is beautiful and has strong airtightness, which is suitable for self-cultivation and self-cultivation. It is very convenient to enter the city. You can drive to many universities and Zhongguan Village in Haidian within half an hour. Ren Ping must invest in science and technology enterprises after his life, so it is also good to set up a few here.
However, this villa is still a rough one and cannot be lived in at all. Ren Pingsheng is not in a hurry to move in. He will leave it there first and talk about it in a few years.
Over the past few days, Ren Pingsheng has made Sister Wang, a real estate agent who has followed him all the way. These two people look like young people in their early 20s. When they buy a house, they are like nouveau riche. They buy a villa worth millions of dollars.
You know, the West Mountain was still very desolate at this time, and there were no living facilities nearby. After buying the villa here, it would be good to live for one month a year.
Sister Wang, who was in her early forties, thought to herself that these two people would not be the sons of Boss Coal, who came to Beijing, and she liked villas so much.
Sister Wang also had several villas in her hands, so she took the opportunity to sell them to the two of them. Among them, the Rose Garden in Changping was her strong support.
In her mouth, the rose garden was described as scattered, as if the best houses in Beijing were here.
"Did you know that Rose Garden is the only villa located in the university town in the country. It is surrounded by Zhongguancun High-Tech Park Haidian Garden, Zhongguancun Technology Park Changping Garden, and Yanjing Shahe Higher Education Park. It is located in the radiation area of the combination of the three parks, which is truly unique."
"The three science and technology parks are so big that they need to be radiated at the same time, which means that the distance between the rose gardens is relatively far from these three gardens." Although Ren Pingsheng had not conducted personal investigations, he raised questions based on his understanding of administrative divisions.
Sister Wang was speechless for a moment, and the scene was a little awkward, so she quickly changed the subject.
"The Rose Garden is not only in a good location, but also has great scenery around it. It is also adjacent to scenic spots such as the Badaling Great Wall and the Thirteen Tombs Scenic Area."
Ren Pingsheng couldn't help but question again.
"Badaling and the Thirteen Tombs, they are all outside the Sixth Ring Road. Can this house still be considered from Yanjing City?"
"Why isn't it counted as Yanjing? Of course, Changping is counted as Yanjing. Only after Changping and Yanjiao and Sanhe are considered as suburbs."
Sister Wang was so excited by Ren Pingsheng that she was about to jump up. Her bulging chest was about to break the safety.
Ren Pingsheng sat behind A6L and was a little excited when he saw Sister Wang, so he hurriedly comforted him.
"Sister, don't be excited. I still prefer the houses in the city center. Please help me find them."
Ren’s life not buying a rose garden is not just the above factors, but mainly because the rose garden project is too mysterious.
Ren Pingsheng, in his previous life, has read many biographies of Chinese entrepreneurs studying, among which the story of Yanjing Rose Garden is the most legendary chapter.
The Yanjing Rose Garden project started operation as early as 1992 in the last century. At that time, China's economy was in its early stages of taking off, and many overseas investors came to the mainland to look for opportunities, and the one who was most passionate about was Hong Kong businessmen.
The earliest Hong Kong businessman named Liu cooperated with the Changping District Government to develop a piece of land in Shahe Town. It is expected to build more than 800 villas, each priced at 3 million yuan. Those who could afford a house at that time were definitely the tycoons of that era.
As soon as the Rose Garden project was released, it quickly became the focus of media attention, and Hong Kong businessmen named Liu also showed up.
It is said that in an interview, he said to the media: "Do you know that Yanjing is going to produce Li Ka-shing?" Before the media could react, the Hong Kong businessman named Liu pointed at himself: "It's me, Liu."
This domineering, no one else.
However, Mr. Liu brags about having one house and selling one house, but he is not a practical person. He embezzles the first payment of the house and squanders it, but half of the villa is not built.
At this time, a Hong Kong businessman named Deng happened to be optimistic about this project. He took 60 million Hong Kong dollars in funds to cooperate, and then took advantage of Mr. Liu's bad deeds to drive him out of the company step by step, and finally seized ownership of the Rose Garden at a cost of 80 million Hong Kong dollars.
Mr. Liu, who was kicked out, was disgraced and had an imbalance in his mentality. He was found to die at home in 1994. Some people said it was an overdose of drugs, and some people said it was a suicide.
But Deng did everything, but he did not expect that Liu's operations were completely illegal. The land was not sold according to law, and the property rights of the land could not be obtained and it could not be sold on the market.
In order to make up for the approval documents, Deng invested countless money in the process, and finally got the approval documents in 1994, with a total price of 150 million yuan.
Just when Mr. Deng thought he saw the dawn, he issued a strict order to stop the construction of "buildings and halls", and banks and other financial systems took out loans. In order to replenish the project, Mr. Deng not only mortgaged his company in Hong Kong, but also borrowed usury.
But nothing helps. The real estate market has always bought the rise but not the fall. A series of scandals in the Rose Garden have scared away many interested buyers. The original home buyers have also petitioned to protect their rights and demanded a refund.
Under the attack between inside and outside, Deng was desperate and had to find someone else to cooperate. During this period, he was deceived by Liang, who claimed to be of great background. Later, he found a Lu who was willing to cooperate.
Mr. Lu wanted to take the opportunity to copy the bottom, but he didn't expect that the copy was halfway up the mountain. The Rose Garden project involved all aspects of the complexity, which was not something that these Hong Kong people who were accustomed to the laws of business society could do.
When Lu found out that he was not the material, it was too late. The Rose Garden was in high debt and there was no hope of starting construction. Lu was also dragged into the water.
So they held on until 1998. Deng and Lu, who were swallowed by the bottomless pit of the Rose Garden, had to file for bankruptcy, accepted the gambling and cleared the position and cleared it out.
The Rose Garden was later auctioned by the project's construction maker and gained its reputation through steadily constructed and operated. The villas that were not built back then were built one after another.
The reborn rose garden has been officially sold since 2000, and the construction company that bought it that year also made several hundred million.
But for the sake of the Rose Garden project, more than one billion yuan was filled in over ten years, involving three companies bankruptcy. Three entrepreneurs who were in the past were defeated, and one of them died because of this. Do you think this project is mysterious?
Although Ren Pingsheng is not a superstitious person, he does not want to live in a house with so much dark history.
The story of the Rose Garden can be used as a classic case in business history; but it is better to stay away from the houses of the Rose Garden in your lifetime.
