The first meeting of the Liu Group was a successful success. The leaders of various branches and factories saw the group's determination that it was impossible to live like before. How to maintain their position has become their primary task now, and there is no other choice.
Liu Jian has been with Li Li for several days during this period. Compared with other women, Li Li's mature charm is still very attractive to Liu Jian. In addition, she is gentle and friendly, which is a good comfort to Liu Jian who is anxious during this period. So Liu Jian has been with Li Li for nearly a week. If it weren't for the Hangzhou branch that he told Li Li to go back, Liu Jian would reluctantly let Li Li leave.
The group company began to truly operate. Liu Jian's work was much more idle than when the company was newly established, because every branch was trying to improve its performance and had no time to come here to argue about work. This also achieved Liu Jian's goal. If he was always so busy, how could he bear it?
After lingering with Bai Wei on that day, Liu Jian remembered that Bai Wei had not graduated yet and asked strangely: Xiaowei, don’t you have to go back to school to attend classes?
Bai Wei shook her head lazily and said: What are you doing when you go back? I am in the internship stage now. I just need to write my thesis and complete the graduation defense before graduation.
Oh, so that's it. You'll have no problem with graduation.Liu Jian asked.
Bai Wei asked in confusion: Boss, why are you asking about this?
Liu Jian smiled and said, "It's nothing, Xiaowei, how many students like you in Beijing are there? Are there many people who can't find jobs?"
Liu Jian had no choice. The talent gap in the group company was too big. Liu Jian planned to recruit him once, but he still did not think about it in Changchun.
Bai Wei guessed Liu Jian’s idea and shook her head and said: Boss, you don’t have to make any decisions about them. They would rather starve to death in Beijing than work here.Our city is too small.
Liu Jian naturally understood this truth, but he was still a little unwilling to give up. After all, there was still a shortage of people. If you want to change this situation, you can only introduce a large number of talents. The place with the most talents in the country is naturally Beijing. Changchun is not a little worse than Beijing.
After thinking about it, Liu Jian decided to go to Beijing to try it out and said: Xiaowei, pack up our things, let’s go to Beijing to recruit people, but I don’t believe that I can’t recruit people.
Bai Wei nodded and did not persuade her. After all, Liu Jian is the boss, so she still has to listen to Liu Jian.
When Liu Fu heard that Liu Jian was going to Beijing to recruit talents, he didn't think it would be effective, but considering that Liu Jian was so confident, Liu Fu was not good at saying anything. Anyway, the company is nothing now, so it would be better if he asked him to try it. If it succeeds, wouldn't it be better?
On the contrary, Liu's mother ignored Liu Jian's behavior. Seeing Liu Jian take his little secretary to Beijing, Liu's mother suspected that the recruitment was fake and that it was true that he went out for a trip.
When I went back to talk to Liu Fu in the evening, Liu Fu was a little hesitant. Xiao Jian wouldn’t be so unrighteous. Is it busy building a group in the company? Will Xiao Jian go out for a trip?
However, I can't say anything I have agreed to, and what Liu Jian does is all his reason. Even if I can't see it at that time, I will find out later that I will learn from Liu Jian what plans this time I have.
Unfortunately, Liu Fu guessed wrongly. Liu Jian was just bored and wanted to go out for a walk. Changchun was too close to him and there was nothing to go there. Beijing was still attractive to Liu Jian. It would be better to go and take a look. Just relax. And if you meet a good talent, Liu Jian would not have turned it over.
Liu Jian drove Bai Wei to Beijing. No one informed Liu Fu and his wife Liu Jian. Even when he passed by Chenyang, Liu Jian did not go to Ren Shanshan to take a look.
Liu Jian saw it very slowly this time. It was dark at night, so he ran to Shanhaiguan. Shanhaiguan under the night sky was spectacular. If it weren't for the darkness, Liu Jian would definitely climb up Shanhaiguan to take a look.
As soon as the next day was dawn, Liu Jian dragged the confused Li Li to climb Shanhaiguan.
There are people everywhere in Shanhaiguan in the morning. When Liu Jian asked, he knew that the people who climb Shanhaiguan in the morning were all locals. They get up early to exercise every day and climb Shanhaiguan because there is no ticket for this period.
Although I don’t care about the dozens of dollars in the ticket, Liu Jian is still quite happy to have the opportunity to take advantage of it.
Bai Wei didn't expect that Liu Jian would be so happy for a few dozen dollars. It really made Liu Jian stingy and ignorant. Such a person should have been struck by lightning, Bai Wei thought hatefully.
At noon, Audi entered Beijing. Tian Dan thought Liu Jian was going back to find a hotel, but he didn't expect Liu Jian to drive straight to the Palace Museum.
Bai Wei asked in confusion: Boss, why don’t we find a place to live first?
Liu Jian shook his head and said: Don’t worry, I remember that there are many courtyards in Beijing that want to sell at this time. I want to buy one directly, so I have to stay in a hotel every time I come!
Ah, then you don’t have to buy a courtyard house. Isn’t it all over to buy a building?Bai Wei asked in confusion.
You don’t understand this. Is it because I can’t help but buy a courtyard house for a place to live or an investment. Beijing is now developing everywhere, and the courtyard house has been destroyed. If I can buy one at this time, I will do nothing in the future and collecting rent will be enough for living expenses.
Liu Jian explained that when he remembered that a courtyard house in later generations cost several million yuan, tens of million yuan, or hundreds of million yuan, Liu Jian was a little jealous.
It was not that Liu Jian had thought that he would use all the funds he had to buy a courtyard house in Beijing. After five or six years, he could increase it several times or dozens of times.
But after thinking for a long time, I still gave up this idea. I could think that Siheyuan would definitely be more than me who would raise the price. Perhaps a large amount of hot money has already set my sights on this. I followed the Dongfeng and made a small profit. But if there was a large amount of speculation, it would probably block other people's financial paths, and I would have my own crying fruits to eat.
After all, Liu Jian has no background, and all development is based on foresight.This risk is still not worth the effort, so Liu Jian has never mentioned this plan.
However, when making this plan, Liu Jian met and learned about the Siheyuan in Beijing. There is an old street behind the Forbidden City. There is basically a Siheyuan on the street. Liu Jian was so careful here because it had been broken and never developed. In the end, it became one of the only streets left in Siheyuan in Beijing. The housing prices here also soared to more than 100,000 per square meter in his previous life, becoming the most expensive bungalow in Beijing.
Liu Jian knew that at this time, no one would have thought that this inconspicuous street would become a tourist attraction in Beijing. In the future, countless people would pay for it just to go to Siheyuan to see the lives of old Beijingers, so Liu Jian decided to start quickly and went straight to here when he came to Beijing.
Beijing Siheyuan is a kind of courtyard building. The so-called courtyard building means a courtyard building with houses on all sides of the courtyard. The four-house houses are the courtyard in the center, and this is the courtyard.
Rich families can build three or four courtyards to connect front and back.Plant flowers, fruits and trees in the courtyard for viewing.
The large courtyard house is surrounded by walls from the outside, and all have tall walls without opening windows, showing a defensiveness.
The whole family is in the courtyard, and the people living in the courtyard are very comfortable. The door is closed at night, which is very quiet, suitable for a family-centered reunion life.
By day, the flowers, plants and trees in the yard are very beautiful, with flowers fragrant at night and the air fresh. At night, the family sits in the yard to enjoy the cool, rest, chat and drink tea, and the whole family is having fun. No matter what they do, it is invisible to outsiders. This is in line with the habits of the Chinese.
The most representative residential building in the Qing Dynasty was the palace-style house, which was the large and medium-sized courtyard house where bureaucrats, landlords, and wealthy businessmen lived. It can also be said that the Qing Dynasty was the peak period of the development of Beijing courtyard houses.
Since the late Qing Dynasty, China has gradually become a semi-feudal and semi-colonial society, and the development of Beijing Siheyuan has also begun to gradually decline.
The Japanese invasion of China caused great changes in Chinese society, and the economic conditions of citizens were getting worse and worse. Many residents who used to live in separate courtyards were no longer able to maintain more houses, so they had to rent out their excess houses and subsidize their lives with rent.
Residents have fewer and fewer houses, and there are more and more tenants in the courtyard. The unique Siheyuan has begun to become a large slum with multiple families, and the living nature of Siheyuan has changed.
After the founding of the People's Republic of China, there have been fundamental changes in the use of traditional courtyards in Beijing.
Due to the change of ownership, many royal palaces and houses left over from the Qing Dynasty changed from private property to public property. They were no longer occupied by the aristocrats of the past, but instead became public housing such as state organs, schools, hospitals, factories, kindergartens, and clubs.
The changes in the use function have created an insolvent contradiction between the building itself and the needs of users. The final result is not that people obey the building, but that the building is transformed by people.
Those courtyards that are still used as residential buildings are no longer exclusively occupied and have become large courtyards for multiple families. These changes in uses make it difficult for the courtyards to maintain the depth, tranquility, elegance and warmth of the past. The courtyards have been divided, transformed and divided into common phenomena.
Here comes.
After driving into the alley, Liu Jian saw many courtyards, and many people lived in one yard.
In fact, the property rights of these houses are often personal, but the special era has created a unique courtyard house. Many families do not pay rent or pay less rent when they do not have the right to live. Some of them even have their own buildings, but in order to take advantage of this little bit, they would rather rent out the buildings one by one, and the whole family is crowded in the courtyard than move out.
It is naturally difficult for Liu Jian to understand this idea, but his purpose is to buy a house, so when he sees that the courtyard is full of people, Liu Jian will turn around and leave and continue to look at the next house.
After walking many homes in a row, when they were almost at the bottom of the alley, Liu Jian found a sign for sale posted on the door.Liu Jian stopped the car and happily pulled Bai Wei forward and knocked on the door.
The person who opened the door was a gray-haired old man. When he saw a young man Liu Jian and Bai Wei, he thought he was here to rent a house, so he said: Young man, you are looking for the wrong thing, I won’t rent a house here!
Liu Jian smiled and said: Uncle, we are not here to rent a house.
Then what are you here for?The old man asked.
I came to buy a house. I saw the advertisement you posted and wanted to come in and take a look. If there is no problem, I will buy it.
Liu Jian didn't hide it from it. It would be better to tell the truth at this time. Looking at the old man's expression, you can tell that this is a person who is eager to use money. As expected, the old man's eyes lit up. Then he saw the Audi driven by Liu Jian, and he felt much more relaxed. He said with his hands: My surname is Huang, come in first.
Liu Jian smiled and took Bai Wei's hand into the room. The things placed in the room were all old objects. From this we can see that Mr. Huang was not an ordinary person either.
After looking inside, Liu Jian was very satisfied. Although it was an elderly house, it was well maintained and could move in without major repairs.
Moreover, the whole house is divided into two courtyards in front and back, and the yard at the back also has a small garden. This is the courtyard house in old Beijing, which can be built so luxuriously. I think this house was originally the residence of the high-ranking official.
Back at the front hall, Liu Jiancai asked: Mr. Huang, is this courtyard house your own?
Uncle Huang nodded and said: Yes, I am also an old Beijinger. The whole family lived here. Decades have passed, and I am the only one left.
Liu Jian asked a little strangely: Uncle Huang, why did you sell your house? Where did you live if you bought it?
It’s not that Liu Jian is concerned about Mr. Huang’s affairs, but that Liu Jian is afraid of any trouble in the future. If there is a relative property owner of this house, it will be troublesome if Liu Jian buys it.
Uncle Huang smiled bitterly and said: It’s not for my little grandson. My son works in Shanghai and can’t come back a few times a year. After adding a little grandson to me last year, he didn’t have time to come back.My son took me to Shanghai, but he was reluctant to leave this old house and his neighbors.Who would have thought that my son’s job was transferred abroad this year. If I don’t follow him, I’m afraid I won’t be able to see my grandson in the next few years.I had no choice but to sell this house and exchange it for some money, so I can live a better life abroad.
When Liu Jian heard Mr. Huang say this, he believed it a little, so he asked: Mr. Huang, don’t know what price you plan to sell?If it's right, I'll buy it.
Uncle Huang was happy at first, then hesitated a little. Seeing the old house obviously reluctant, Liu Jian did not urge him. After all, this kind of thing could not be done, so he would naturally sell it if he wanted to sell it.
Uncle Huang hesitated for a long time before saying: It costs at least 1.2 million yuan. I went to inquire. If I rent this house, I could still charge 50,000 or 60,000 yuan a year. If I sell it, I would have to sell my living expenses for the next twenty years.
The price of 1.2 million is beyond Liu Jian's expectations. It is not high but low. Now, it costs 300,000 to 400,000 yuan to buy a building in Beijing. A courtyard house can be exchanged for at least five to six residential buildings, which means at least about two million yuan. It seems that Mr. Huang doesn't know much about the real estate market.
Liu Jian wanted to agree at once, but he was afraid of arousing Mr. Huang's suspicion, so he said: Mr. Huang, the price is a bit high, but Mr. Huang, you are also anxious to wait for money to use it, so you have to keep all the furniture and decorations in this house for me.I think they are all old people, and they are worth a few dollars.
Uncle Huang was a little hesitant. These furniture and utensils had been used for many years, and he was reluctant to let them go.
Bai Wei saw Mr. Huang's hesitation and said: Mr. Huang, you have to go abroad anyway, so it's useless to ask for these things. If you sell them to others, it won't be much money. We have to go out to buy them. Why don't you forget it for us? We haven't bargained the house, but in fact you took advantage of it.
Uncle Huang thought about it for a while and hesitated for a long time and agreed.
Seeing that Mr. Huang agreed, Liu Jian asked Mr. Huang to take the procedures and they went to the street to handle the procedures. After all, it involved the courtyard. Liu Jian didn't think of any mistakes. The street has the procedures for these houses. Whether it is Mr. Huang's house can be confirmed there, and transactions on the street can also avoid a lot of trouble. It will be much more convenient when transferring the property in the future.
People from the street office were surprised to hear that someone bought a courtyard house. This idea is good if they buy more buildings and fewer bungalows, not to mention that they spend more than one million to buy a bungalow, and it would be good if they didn't regard Liu Jian as a mental illness.
The procedures are actually very cumbersome. If Mr. Huang had not lived here for decades, and everyone in the street knew each other and the street was helping, it would have been impossible to complete it in one or two days. Even so, it was only after three days that the procedures were completed, and the quadrangle courtyard had actually changed its owner.
Uncle Huang left the house reluctantly, and was nostalgic for the old neighbors and the things he used at home. In fact, Uncle Huang was very satisfied with the price. It was also a high report at that time. Unfortunately, less than ten years later, the house had increased dozens of times. By 2008, it was worth hundreds of millions, which was not what he could have expected.
Liu Jian has been with Li Li for several days during this period. Compared with other women, Li Li's mature charm is still very attractive to Liu Jian. In addition, she is gentle and friendly, which is a good comfort to Liu Jian who is anxious during this period. So Liu Jian has been with Li Li for nearly a week. If it weren't for the Hangzhou branch that he told Li Li to go back, Liu Jian would reluctantly let Li Li leave.

This idea is good if they buy more buildings and fewer bungalows, not to mention that they spend more than one million to buy a bungalow, and it would be good if they didn't regard Liu Jian as a mental illness.
The procedures are actually very cumbersome. If Mr. Huang had not lived here for decades, and everyone in the street knew each other and the street was helping, it would have been impossible to complete it in one or two days. Even so, it was only after three days that the procedures were completed, and the quadrangle courtyard had actually changed its owner.
Uncle Huang left the house reluctantly, and was nostalgic for the old neighbors and the things he used at home. In fact, Uncle Huang was very satisfied with the price. It was also a high report at that time. Unfortunately, less than ten years later, the house had increased dozens of times. By 2008, it was worth hundreds of millions, which was not what he could have expected.
