"Master Zhang, if I take someone there, will the previous discount still be available?
And the ones I introduced before..." Aunt Wang always had a shrewd style. When she heard Zhang Junping said commission, she thought of the customers she had introduced to Zhang Junping before.
"Aunt Wang, because we didn't have this policy before, if I give it to you now... it would be unfair to Aunt Lin and the others. Even if I give it to you, I personally can't afford it.
Let's do this, when you order the furniture, I will give you two more pieces of furniture."
"Look at my mouth, this is a big deal, I just said it casually, Master Zhang, you still take it seriously.
Then I would like to thank Master Xiao Zhang!" Aunt Wang gently slapped herself in the mouth as a punishment for talking nonsense, and then she agreed.
"You're so polite. I should thank you. I hope you can introduce more customers to me in the future!" Zhang Junping said politely.
"By the way, Mr. Zhang, you wanted to buy the courtyard next to the furniture store before. Do you still want to buy it now?" Just as Zhang Junping was about to leave, Aunt Wang pulled Zhang Junping and asked softly.
"Our neighborhood committee agrees to sell it?" Zhang Junping was overjoyed.
"Don't worry about that yard. The secretary asked you about it, but the district didn't nod, and the secretary didn't dare to make the decision to sell it to you!
I'm talking about Liulichang. There's a yard to buy. Your current furniture store is two or three bigger. I thought that since you're a college student at CAFA, it would be more appropriate to go to Liulichang." Aunt Wang is very knowledgeable.
said.
When talking about antique calligraphy and painting in Beijing, the first two places that come to mind are Panjiayuan and Liulichang.
In fact, there are some differences between the two places. Panjiayuan is an antique and flea market, and most of the merchants in Panjiayuan sell antiques, while Liulichang is an ancient cultural street. Most of the merchants in Liulichang sell calligraphy and painting books.
Therefore, Aunt Wang was insightful and knew that Zhang Junping was from Central Academy of Fine Arts, engaged in artistic creation, and was more suitable for Liulichang.
"Aunt Wang, please worry, what is the condition of the yard you mentioned? How much does it cost?"
"The owner of the yard was named Guan. It seemed to be some kind of bookstore, which printed and sold books. Later, it became a public-private partnership, and then... In the past two years, the policy was implemented and the house was returned to the Guan family.
In the Guan family, all the old people disappeared more than ten years ago, leaving only Xiaoguan. I don’t know what happened recently. Everyone wants to go abroad. Xiaoguan also wants to go abroad, so he plans to sell the yard." Wang
Auntie has a very solid grasp of the information and even knows the details of the family.
"The front is a two-story facade house with a small area of 300 square meters. The yard at the back is almost 2,000 square meters and only costs 200,000!"
"Two hundred thousand?!" Zhang Junping almost hugged him and shouted out.
"Master Zhang, let me tell you, 200,000 yuan is a good deal. The courtyard you have chosen has collapsed, right? It's less than 1,000 square meters, and you can't get it without 100,000 yuan."
Zhang Junping just wanted to scold his mother. Who told him that in the 1980s, a courtyard house in Beijing could be bought for only tens of thousands of yuan.
This is one zero missing!
Zhang Junping wanted to ask why Aunt Wang believed that he, a college student from Central America, could afford a house worth 200,000 yuan.
"Aunt Wang, can you take me to have a look?" Zhang Junping hesitated for a moment and did not refuse directly. He planned to go and have a look first.
"Okay, just wait for me. I'll go in and say hello. Let's go right away!" Aunt Wang was really straightforward. She went in directly to ask for leave and took Zhang Junping to see the house.
Liulichang is right outside Hepingmen, not too far from Wangfujing, just over four kilometers.
The reason why Aunt Wang knows so clearly is because Liulichang is closer to Dashilan, and Aunt Wang's home is in Yanjia Hutong, a little west of Dashilar.
Zhang Junping rode his bicycle and carried Aunt Wang to Liulichang.
The courtyard that Aunt Wang mentioned is at the westernmost end of Liulichang West Street, almost to Dongchunshu Hutong. Strictly speaking, this place has left Liulichang.
No wonder there is such a big yard. You know, the courtyard houses in Beijing have regulations, including front shops and back factories. It does not mean that you can build as big a house as you want. Even if you have money, there is no room for you to build it.
Big yard.
This is the only place where he can build such a big building.
In fact, if it wasn't so close to the west, this place might have been demolished when the state renovated the East and West Liulichang two years ago.
Aunt Wang pointed to the second-story attic in front of her and said to Zhang Junping: "Look, how about it? Master Zhang, let me tell you, this yard is definitely worth 200,000 yuan! If Xiaoguan hadn't been in a hurry to go abroad, he would have stretched it a little here.
, it can be sold for 300,000 yuan."
Zhang Junping looked at the attic in front of him, with blue bricks and tiles, stone foundations and pillars, kissing beasts on the ridges, cornices and carved doors and windows. From the outside, this attic was well preserved, but he didn't know what it was like inside.
"Aunt Wang, can you go in and take a look?"
"I wonder if Xiaoguan is at home now..." Aunt Wang said and knocked on the door, "Xiaoguan, is Xiaoguan at home? I am your Aunt Wang!
Xiaoguan and I are neighbors, so from his perspective, he has to call me Aunt Sheng." Aunt Wang called the door, not forgetting to explain to Zhang Junping her relationship with the landlord.
The door creaked open from the inside, and a young man with a slicked back head poked his head out, took a look, saw Aunt Wang, and greeted her with a smile, "Aunt Wang is here, but I haven't seen you for a while.
No matter how strong you are, your bones are still so strong!"
"TOEFL, you are still in good health!
This child looks exactly like my old sister. When I see you, I think of my old sister...
It’s so frustrating for my old sister to leave...
You're going abroad again, and you won't be able to see him again from now on!" Aunt Wang held the young man's hand, and while talking, she wiped away her tears.
Zhang Junping was stunned. What are you doing? Why are you still crying?
Looking at the young man, he also has a constipated look on his face. His parents are extremely aggrieved. He knows better than anyone else, otherwise he wouldn’t have followed others’ example and gone abroad. But why did you mention this matter when we met?
"Aunt Wang, it's not necessarily a bad thing to go out. Go out and have a look, open your eyes, and maybe the eldest brother will become a big boss in the future and come back to invest in building the motherland." Zhang Junping hurriedly stepped forward to persuade.
"Okay, Master Zhang is right! Go out and learn your skills and then come back to build the motherland!" Zhang Junping advised, and Aunt Wang wiped her tears and said with a smile.
Zhang Junping admired his ability to change his face. He was crying just now, but in the next moment he was like a normal person again, calm and calm.
"By the way, this person has a bad memory when he gets old. This is Master Zhang, a college student from CAFA. I heard that you want to sell your house. It just so happens that Master Zhang wants to buy a house, so I brought it here for you. You guys
Let’s talk!”
"You want to buy a house?" The young man looked up and down and asked with some doubt.
