"Brother Guan, right? Hello! I'm planning to buy a house, or to be precise, I'm planning to buy a yard! Aunt Wang also said just now, I'm a student at CAFA, and I'm planning to buy a yard as a studio." Zhang Junping didn't care.
Guan Jiaming looked questioningly and said with a calm smile.
"You were introduced by Aunt Wang, and I won't meddle with you. Three hundred thousand! This is my lowest price. I won't sell it for a penny less!" Guan Jiaming said very straightforwardly.
Good guy, he is straightforward enough, but he is not a business negotiator.
This also shows that although Aunt Wang is shrewd and calculating, she has a strong personality and did not fool him.
"Can you see the house first?" Zhang Junping said with a smile.
"Okay, you can watch as you like!"
Zhang Junping nodded, turned around and walked into the yard, walking around in and out, looking at the yard, the house, the layout of the attic, and the quality of the house.
Zhang Junping fell in love with this yard at first sight. The building structure of the house in the backyard is different from that of the courtyard house. It is taller and two meters deeper than the house in the courtyard house, and they are all three large rooms connected together.
.
When this house was originally built, its purpose was very clear, that is, it would be used as a workshop.
This yard is really nice and the location is good. It is a little bit suitable for a furniture factory.
It’s this price that makes people grit their teeth!
It turned out that I had a few thousand dollars in my hand and felt that I was a rich man. However, after buying a house, I realized that I was still the same pauper.
The revolution has not yet succeeded, comrades still need to work hard!
Zhang Junping secretly warned himself that there was still a long way to go before he could achieve financial freedom and spend money as he pleased.
When Zhang Junping returned to the front yard, Guan Jiaming was already waiting in the yard. When he saw him rushing to greet him, a relieved smile appeared on his face. It seemed that he had been hit by Aunt Wang's devilish voice again just now.
"How is it? My yard may be a bit empty for people to live in. This house is too big and has air leakage.
But if it's a studio, that's absolutely no problem. It's spacious and quiet. Don't you artists all value letting yourself go?
In a house like this, you can let yourself go and find inspiration.”
Zhang Junping nodded and agreed, "The house is very good, I like it, the price..."
"The price really can't be compromised. I'm such a direct person. Aunt Wang brought you here. I didn't want to dodge it in the first place!
If you like it, I will leave all the old furniture and objects in the house to you. Don’t you artists like these things?” Seeing that Zhang Junping really wanted it, Guan Jiaming said that he would not bargain, but still gave in.
In Guan Jiaming's opinion, this step is just a small step. It is normal to buy a house and give old furniture and things as a gift.
Zhang Junping's heart beat violently, and he felt like he could hear his own heartbeat.
It doesn't matter what the furniture is. Although they are made of old craftsmanship and the workmanship is very fine, the materials are all made of elm wood.
Dozens of pieces of furniture, large and small, will cost only two to three hundred thousand thirty years later.
The furniture is not valuable, but don’t forget what this place used to be, a bookstore!
Just now, Zhang Junping found many calligraphy and paintings in a warehouse. There were thousands of calligraphy and paintings in that large pile.
Because it belonged to someone else, Zhang Junping just opened it and looked at it casually.
The calligraphy and paintings he opened included Mr. Qigong's calligraphy, Liu Bingsen's calligraphy, Li Keqi's paintings, and Huang Binhong's paintings.
Needless to say, there may be calligraphy and paintings by Qi Baishi, Zhang Daqian and others hidden inside. Just these few. If it is all theirs, it would be an astronomical figure.
As for why there are calligraphy and paintings by these people in the warehouse, it is very simple. The calligraphy and paintings by these people in this era are not valuable.
Liu Bingsen’s calligraphy is only a few cents a piece, and paintings by Li Keqi and Huang Binhong are only a few yuan a piece in Wangfujing calligraphy and painting shops.
It is estimated that when they moved to free up a house, people thought that these paintings and calligraphy were troublesome, so they simply put them together with the furniture and gave them to Guan Jiaming at a discount.
Implementing policies and returning property means not only returning the house, but also the contents in the house and other property.
The house is easy to talk about, but most of the things in the house have disappeared after more than ten or twenty years.
Therefore, it is usually a trade-in or use of items in the current house to offset the cost.
Zhang Junping's heart was beating so hard that he found it difficult to breathe.
"Okay, as Brother Guan said, I also took a look at the contents. There are many antiques, calligraphy and paintings, and porcelain from the middle and late Qing Dynasty. I really like these things. Well, I won't take advantage of you. This yard
For everything inside and the yard, I will give you a total of 350,000 yuan!"
"Brothers are very particular about people!" Zhang Junping took the initiative to increase the price. Guan Jiaming was naturally happy. He patted Zhang Junping on the shoulder and gave him a thumbs up, "But I can't ask for this money. We old Beijingers are very moral! I said it would be a gift.
I just gave it to you, I can’t ask for more money from you!”
"Brother Guan, you are also particular about people. Let's be honest. I took a look just now. Among those calligraphy and paintings, there are the calligraphy of Mr. Qi Gong, and the paintings of Mr. Li Keqi and Mr. Li. There are so many bosses, and there are those Qingqing
The official kiln porcelain of the middle and late period, the elm furniture of the late Qing Dynasty, if you add one piece of these, I will give you 50,000 yuan, and you are already taking advantage of me!" Zhang Junping said sincerely.
Following the old lady and Yang Mingde, what I learned the most was not the skills, but the magnanimity of life.
"Xiaoguan, let me tell you, Master Xiao Zhang is a real person. Look, since ancient times, how can anyone rush to add money when buying things like Master Xiao Zhang?" Aunt Wang interjected from the side.
"Yes, Aunt Wang, you are right, Master Zhang is a real person!
Brother Xiao Zhang, I know all what you are talking about. I also went to the cultural relics store, calligraphy and painting store and asked. I will give you two yuan for Qi Lao's calligraphy, five yuan for Li Lao's painting that is more than one foot, and those porcelains.
They all cost ten or eight yuan.
I also know that these things will definitely be valuable in the future, but I am going abroad and I can’t take the things with me. If I sell them to state-owned stores, they won’t be valuable!
If you like it, I'll give it all to you!" Guan Jiaming said with a smile.
"This is really inappropriate. I can't take advantage of you, otherwise I won't be able to overcome this hurdle in my heart!" Zhang Junping also had his own insistence.
I will not give you prices that exceed this era, nor will I bully others who don't know how to do it and take advantage of them.
After arguing for a long time, the deal was finally settled at the price Zhang Junping said.
Zhang Junping first paid a deposit of 1,000 yuan, Guan Jiaming wrote a receipt, and Aunt Wang, as the intermediary, also signed it, agreeing to pay the full amount after completing the transfer procedures three days later.
After going out, the cold wind blew, and Zhang Junping came to his senses. He was careless and just thought about the house, but he still hadn't secured the money.
