Great Entrepreneur Reborn

The first meeting of the Liu Group was a complete success. The leaders of the various branches and factories saw the determination of the group. It was no longer possible to muddle along like before. How to keep their positions became their current task. The first priority, 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 amiable, and Liu Jian, who is anxious during this period of time, is still very attractive. Jian was a good consolation, so Liu Jian stayed with Li Li for almost a week. If the Hangzhou branch hadn't remembered to call Li Li back, Liu Jian would not let Li Li go.

The group company has started to really operate. Liu Jian's work is much more leisurely than when the company was newly established, because every branch company is trying to improve performance, and there is no time to come here to talk about work and report. This has also reached Liu Jian. Jian's purpose, if he is always so busy, how can he bear it.

After spending time with Bai Wei that day, Liu Jian remembered that Bai Wei hadn't graduated yet, and asked strangely, "Xiao Wei, don't you need to go back to school?"

Bai Wei shook her head lazily and said, "What are you going to do when you go back? I'm in the internship stage now. I just need to write a thesis and complete the graduation defense before graduation."

"Oh, so that's the case, so your graduation is no problem." Liu Jian asked.

Bai Wei asked in confusion: "Boss, why are you asking this?"

Liu Jian smiled and said, "It's nothing, Xiaowei, how many students like you are there in Beijing? Are there many who can't find a job?"

Liu Jian also had no choice, the talent gap of the group company was too big, Liu Jian planned to recruit one time in a centralized manner, but Liu Jian didn't think about it in Changchun or in Beijing.

Bai Wei guessed Liu Jian's thoughts, shook her head and said, "Boss, you don't have to think about them. They would rather starve to death in Beijing than come to work here. Our city is too small."

Liu Jian naturally understands this truth, but he is still a little bit unwilling to give up. After all, there is still a shortage of people. To change this situation, the only way to change this situation is to introduce a large number of talents, and the places with the most talents in the country are naturally Beijing, Changchun and Beijing It's not even a tiny bit worse than that.

After thinking about it, Liu Jian decided to try in Beijing and said, "Xiaowei, pack your things, let's go to Beijing to recruit people, I don't believe we can't recruit people."

Bai Wei nodded, not trying to persuade, after all, Liu Jian is the boss, she still has to listen to Liu Jian.

Hearing that Liu Jian was going to Beijing to recruit talents, Liu Fu didn't think it would be effective, but considering Liu Jian's confidence was so high, Liu Fu couldn't say anything. Anyway, the company has nothing to do now, let him go It's okay to try, if it succeeds, wouldn't it be better?

On the contrary, it was Liu's mother who was noncommittal about Liu Jian's behavior. Watching Liu Jian take his little secretary to Beijing, Liu's mother suspected that the recruitment was fake, but the travel was real.

Going back at night and talking to Liu Fu, Liu Fu also hesitated, Xiaojian wouldn't be so unprofessional, the company is busy, Xiaojian will go out to play? But the things that have been agreed can't be said anymore, and Liu Jian has his reasons for everything he does. Even if he can't see it at the time, he will find out later, and he has some plans to learn from Liu Jian this time.

It's a pity that Liu Fu's guess was wrong. Liu Jian is just bored and wants to go out for a walk. Changchun is too close and there is nothing to go. Beijing is still attractive to Liu Jian. It's good to go and have a look. Take it easy, and if you meet a good talent, Liu Jian will not turn over.

Liu Jian drove Bai Wei to Beijing, but Liu Jian didn't notify Liu Fu and his wife when they left, and Liu Jian didn't even visit Ren Shanshan when they passed by Shenyang.

Liu Jian saw it very slowly this time. It was dark at night before he ran to Shanhaiguan. The Shanhaiguan under the night is magnificent. If it wasn’t dark, Liu Jian would definitely climb up to Shanhaiguan to have a look.

As soon as it was light the next day, Liu Jian dragged Li Li, who was in a daze, up the Shanhaiguan Pass. The Shanhaiguan Pass in the morning was full of people. When Liu Jian asked, he knew that the people who climbed the Shanhaiguan in the morning were all locals. They got up early every day to exercise and climb the Shanhaiguan, because no tickets were charged during this time. Although he didn't care about the tens of dollars for the ticket, Liu Jian was quite happy to have the opportunity to take advantage of it.

Bai Wei didn't expect Liu Jian to be so happy for a few dozen dollars, it really made Liu Jian stingy and hard to beat, this kind of person should really be struck by thunder, Bai Wei thought bitterly.

At noon, Audi entered the city of Beijing. Tian Dan thought that Liu Jian would go back to find a hotel, but Liu Jian drove straight to the Palace Museum.

Bai Wei asked puzzledly: "Boss, why don't we find a place to live first?"

Liu Jian shook his head and said, "Don't worry, I remembered that there are a lot of courtyard houses for sale in Beijing at this time, and I want to buy one directly, so as to save myself having to stay in a hotel every time I come here!"

"Ah, then there's no need to buy a courtyard house, wouldn't it be over if you buy a building?" Bai Wei asked suspiciously.

"You don't understand this. Buying a courtyard is not only for a place to live, but also as an investment. Beijing is currently developing everywhere, and the courtyard is completely destroyed. If you can buy one at this time, you will do nothing in the future. , the rent is enough for living expenses.”

Liu Jian explained a bit, thinking that a courtyard in later generations would cost several million, tens of millions, or hundreds of millions, Liu Jian was a little jealous.

It's not that Liu Jian has never thought about taking all the funds he has on hand to Beijing to buy a courtyard house. After five or six years, he can double or dozens of times.

But after thinking about it for a long time, I still gave up this idea. I am sure that I am not the only one who can think that the price of the courtyard house will increase. Maybe there will be a lot of hot money already eyeing this area. I will follow Dongfeng and make a small profit. Nothing will happen. But if there is a large amount of hype, I am afraid it will block other people's money, and then there will be their own crying fruit.

After all, Liu Jian has no background, and all developments are based on foresight. This risk is still not worth the hassle, so Liu Jian never mentioned this plan.

However, when making this plan, Liu Jian saw it and got to know the courtyards in Beijing. Behind the Forbidden City, there is an old street, and the streets are basically courtyards. After twists and turns, it was never developed, and finally became one of the few remaining streets of Beijing Siheyuan. The house price here also soared to hundreds of thousands per square meter in the previous life, making it the most expensive bungalow in Beijing.

Liu Jian knew that at this time, no one would have thought that this unremarkable street would become a tourist attraction in Beijing. In the future, countless people would pay money just to see the courtyard house and understand the life of old Beijingers, so Liu Jian I decided to act quickly, and headed straight here when I came to Beijing.

Beijing Siheyuan is a kind of courtyard building. The so-called Heyuan refers to a courtyard surrounded by houses, a quadrangle house with a courtyard in the center. This is a courtyard.

Rich people can build three or four compound courtyards, which are also connected front and back. Plant flowers and fruit trees in the courtyard for viewing.

The large courtyard is surrounded by walls from the outside, all of which are tall walls and do not open windows, showing a kind of defensiveness.

The whole family lives in the courtyard, and the people living in the courtyard are very comfortable. The gate is closed at night, and it is very quiet, which is suitable for family-centered reunion life.

During the day, the flowers, plants and trees in the yard are very beautiful. At night, the flowers are fragrant and the air is fresh. At night, the family sits in the yard to enjoy the cool, rest, chat, drink tea, and have fun with the whole family. No matter what the family does in the yard, outsiders can’t see it. , which is in line with Chinese habits.

The most representative residential buildings in the Qing Dynasty were palace-style mansions, which were large and medium-sized courtyard houses where bureaucrats, landlords, and wealthy businessmen lived. It can also be said that the Qing Dynasty was the peak period for the development of Beijing courtyard houses.

Since the late Qing Dynasty, China gradually became a semi-feudal and semi-colonial society, and the development of Beijing courtyards also began to decline gradually.

The Japanese invasion of China brought about great changes in Chinese society, and the economic situation of the citizens went from bad to worse. Many residents who used to live in single-family houses could no longer afford to raise more houses, so they had to rent out the extra houses and use the rent to subsidize their living.

There are fewer and fewer houses for residents, and more and more tenants in the courtyard. The single-family courtyard has begun to become a multi-family complex, and the residential nature of the courtyard has changed.

After the founding of the People's Republic of China, fundamental changes occurred in the use of traditional courtyard houses in Beijing.

Due to the change of ownership, many palaces and houses left over from the Qing Dynasty changed from private property to public property. They were no longer occupied by the former nobles, but instead became public housing for state organs, schools, hospitals, factories, kindergartens, clubs, etc.

The change of use function creates an insoluble 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 residences are no longer exclusively occupied, but have become "big courtyards" for multiple households. These changes in use have made it difficult for the courtyards to maintain the depth, tranquility, elegance and warmth of the past. The courtyards were divided, Transformation and carve-up have become common phenomena. coming.

Driving into the alley, Liu Jian saw many courtyard houses, and many people lived in a courtyard. In fact, the property rights of these houses often belong to individuals, but special times have created peculiar courtyard houses. Many families do not pay rent or pay less rent without the right of residence. Some of them even have their own houses. However, in order to take advantage of such a small advantage, each of them would rather rent out the building, and the whole family would huddle together in the small courtyard rather than move out.

It is naturally difficult for Liu Jian to understand this kind of thinking, but his purpose is to buy a house, so when he sees that the small courtyard is full of people, Liu Jian will turn his head and leave, and continue to look at the next house.

After walking through many houses in a row, when he was 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 to knock on the door.

The person who opened the door was a gray-haired old man. Seeing Liu Jian and Bai Wei, a young couple, he thought they were here to rent a house, so he said, "Young man, you are looking for the wrong house. I don't rent a house here!"

Liu Jian said with a smile: "Grandpa, we are not here to rent a house."

"Then what are you here for?" asked the old man.

"I'm here to buy a house. I saw the advertisement you posted and wanted to come in and have a look. If there is no problem, I will buy it."

Liu Jian didn't hide it either. It's 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 spend money. Sure enough, when he said this, the old man's eyes lit up, and then he saw Liu Jian opened his eyes. Audi felt a lot more relaxed, and then said with his hands: "My surname is Huang, please come in first."

Liu Jian smiled, and took Bai Wei's hand into the room. The things in the room were all old objects. From this, it can be seen that Mr. Huang is not an ordinary person.

After looking around inside, Liu Jian was very satisfied. Although it is an old man's house, it is well maintained and can be moved in without major repairs. Moreover, the whole house is divided into front and back yards, and the back yard has a small garden. This is the courtyard house in old Beijing, so it can be built so extravagantly. It turns out that this house was also the residence of that high-ranking official.

Back in the front hall, Liu Jiancai asked, "Uncle Huang, is this courtyard house yours?"

Uncle Huang nodded and said, "Yes, I'm also an old Beijinger. Back then, my whole family lived here. After decades, I'm the only one left."

Liu Jian asked a little strangely: "Uncle Huang, why did you sell the house? Where did you live when you bought it?"

It's not that Liu Jian cares much about Uncle Huang's affairs, but that Liu Jian is afraid that there will be troubles in the future. If there is another owner of this house, Liu Jian will be in trouble if he buys it.

Uncle Huang said with a wry smile: "It's not because of my little grandson. My son works in Shanghai and can't come back several times a year. After I added a little grandson last year, I don't have time to come back. My son took over I went to Shanghai, but I was reluctant to part with this old house and my neighbors. Who would have thought that my son’s job would be transferred to a foreign country this year. If I don’t follow along, I’m afraid I won’t be able to see mine in the next few years. I have a little grandson. I have no choice but to sell this house and exchange some money so that I can live a better life abroad."

Hearing Uncle Huang's words, Liu Jian believed it a little, so he asked, "Uncle Huang, what price do you plan to sell at? If it's suitable, I'll buy it."

Uncle Huang was amused at first, and then hesitated a little. Seeing the old house, he was obviously reluctant, and Liu Jian didn't urge him.

Uncle Huang hesitated for a long time before he said: "At least 1.2 million. I've inquired about it. If I rent out this house, I can charge another 50,000 to 60,000 a year. If I sell it, at least I will pay for the next two years." Ten years of living expenses, sold."

The price of 1.2 million was beyond Liu Jian's expectations. It was not high but low. It costs 300,000 to 400,000 to buy a building in Beijing. A courtyard house can be exchanged for at least five to six residential buildings. In other words, at least two million or so, it seems that Uncle Huang doesn't know the real estate market very well.

Liu Jian couldn't wait to agree, but he was afraid of arousing Uncle Huang's suspicion, so he said: "Mr. Huang~www.NovelMTL.com~ This price is a bit high, but Mr. Huang, you are also anxiously waiting for the money. You have to keep all the furniture and decorations for me. I think they are also old people’s things, and they are worth a few dollars.”

Uncle Huang was a little hesitant. These furniture and utensils have been used for many years, and he is very reluctant.

Seeing Uncle Huang's hesitation, Bai Wei said: "Uncle Huang, you are going to go abroad anyway, so it's useless to ask for these things. If you sell them to others, you won't be able to sell them for much. We still have to go out and buy them. Why don't we just forget about them?" , We didn't counter the price of the house, and you actually took advantage of it."

Uncle Huang thought for a moment that it was indeed the case, hesitated for a long time, and agreed.

Seeing that Uncle Huang agreed, Liu Jian asked Uncle Huang to take the formalities. They went to the street to do the formalities. After all, it involved a courtyard house. Liu Jian didn't want to make any mistakes. The streets have the procedures for these houses. Is it Uncle Huang's house? , It can be confirmed there, and it can avoid a lot of troubles in street transactions, and it will be much more convenient when transferring ownership in the future.

The people in the sub-district office were surprised to hear that someone bought a courtyard house. Many people bought houses with this idea, but few bought bungalows. What's more, they spent more than one million yuan to buy a bungalow. It would be good if they didn't regard Liu Jian as mentally ill.

The procedures are actually very cumbersome. If it weren’t for the fact that Uncle Huang has lived here for decades, everyone in the neighborhood knows everyone, and the street is also helpful, it is impossible to finish it in a day or two. Even so, it took three days of busy work. Only after the formalities were completed, did the courtyard house really change its owner.

Uncle Huang reluctantly left the house. What he missed was his old neighbors and the things he had used at home. He was actually very satisfied with the price, which was a high price at the time. Unfortunately, the house was sold out in less than ten years. Dozens of times, and in 2008, it was even worth hundreds of millions, which was not what he expected.
