Soon the receptionist came,

"Mr. Chen, I heard that you want to buy a courtyard house here..."

"Director Li, you heard wrong! I want to buy a courtyard house, not a..." Chen Fang interrupted him. He only had more than 1,000 US dollars on his own now, and he used that much money to sell a courtyard.

I guess this money is just enough to buy a small house in that yard.

"Sorry, sorry, is this the same! I wonder if you are optimistic about it?" He was excited for a long time when he got the news in the office. It was unexpected that Chen Fang would be stationed in the capital. Isn't it difficult to carry out many things in the future?

?

"No. 112, Xizhimenwai Street, Xicheng District, are there any vacant houses in this courtyard?"

Director Li was stunned when he heard this. He didn't know where the address was. The secretary next to him quietly told him that this was the family dormitory area of ​​the Red Star Rolling Mill.

"Mr. Chen, do you know that there is a family area over there? The environment may be a bit complicated...so?" His original intention was to refuse because he was afraid of leaving a bad impression on Chen Fang.

"I've asked around, and the location over there is just right!"

When Director Li saw this, he didn't think about it, and immediately contacted the director of the subdistrict office there to go to the courtyard to have a look. Anyway, if Chen Fang wants to buy it, there is a suitable location there, and he will definitely help solve the problem.

Then the four people came here led by the director of the subdistrict office. The third uncle Yan Fugui at the door was watering the flowers. He is now retired and is enjoying his leisure time.

The third uncle in the later period is indeed a good person, but only to his own family members. Later, they regard Silly Zhu as their own child, so they will appear to be very caring.

"Director Zhang, why do you have time to come to our small courtyard today!"

"I brought a guest here to take a look at the vacant house in the backyard..." Director Zhang did not say much. The staff at the investment office just asked her not to reveal too much about Chen Fang's identity.

After taking a few people to the backyard, Chen Fang took a look and saw that the yard was not bad. It could not be compared with the conditions of later generations, but compared to this era, it was just fine.

"How much do these two houses cost in total?" Chen Fang guessed that it would not exceed 1,000 yuan. Prices are very low now.

The current official exchange rate is 1 U.S. dollar equal to 1.96 Chinese yuan, but China needs foreign exchange everywhere, and the price on the black market is much more outrageous than this.

"Mr. Chen, just pay a total of 750 yuan for two houses." Director Li said, this is the lowest price the street can offer. Chen Fang nodded, this price is completely acceptable.

"Yes, this price is no problem! But I only have US dollars, can I pay for it?" Chen Fang said deliberately. People are eager to pay in foreign exchange, but the exchange rate can only be based on the official one.

Property rights in this period were very limited. There was no real estate certificate, because the houses were all public-owned, and there were only residence certificates issued by the street. However, these policies will be improved in the future, and the residence certificate is equivalent to the real estate certificate of future generations.

After completing these procedures, Director Li of the Investment Promotion Office worked hard to get all the documents for Chen Fang, and also purchased furniture and the like. Now Chen Fang can move into the courtyard.

"Director Li, I have really worked hard for you today. If you have any needs for purchasing overseas materials and equipment, please contact me!" Chen Fang assured him as he patted his chest pain. Director Li had only heard these words after a busy day.

Isn't that what he is busy with? In other words, it is to serve the people. The businessmen of this era are quite disciplined.

"Thank you in advance. Why don't you hurry up and leave today?" Chen Fang had just invited him many times to have a roast duck, but Director Li refused due to regulations.

After seeing off Director Li from the Investment Promotion Office, Chen Fang began to look at the yard.

This place should belong to the backyard. Xu Damao's family lives there. It seems that the second uncle Liu Haizhong also lives here. I can't remember the details. I should know when they come back.

At the same time, the staff of the Beijing Supply and Marketing Cooperative were extremely anxious, because the soap in their warehouse was almost out of stock, and the entire Beijing storage capacity was less than 100,000 yuan. This amount is enough for anyone.

Once the supply and marketing cooperative in Sijiu City runs out of stock, it will affect thousands of ordinary households. In the past few days, the president has remembered how much hair he has lost, so he can only start looking for help everywhere. He has tried various connections but has not found the right one.

of.

But these have nothing to do with Chen Fang. He is now hiring someone to clean the yard. He randomly found an aunt outside and promised to pay him five yuan. After hearing this, the aunt happily came to help.

Although five yuan is very valuable in today's society, for Chen Fang who is coming from the market outlook, these are just small sums. Now I have calculated that I still have about 1,000 yuan, but Chen Fang is not panic at all, because a lot of money will come soon.

.

As for using the portable space to sell on the black market, Chen Fang disdains this. Now is the open era, private individuals can already do business, and Chen Fang still does business with the government, and he is not afraid of people coming to check the water meter.

After the cleaning was completed, the house finally looked like it, Chen Fang nodded.

"Auntie, thank you! This is five yuan, please keep it!"

At this time, the third uncle, Yan Fugui, came here while wandering. He also wanted to see who the person he brought in the morning was. He heard that he had already moved in. Although he had retired, he had developed a habit over the years.

"Hey, I'll give you five yuan for cleaning the room? You're really rich. It looks like you came back from abroad..." The third uncle thought to himself,

"Young man, you moved in today! I am the third uncle in the courtyard..." Yan Fugui started to chatter non-stop. In short, he wanted to see if he could get any benefits from Chen Fang.

"My name is Chen Fang. I just moved in today. Please take care of me from now on."

When Yan Fugui heard this, he thought that this kid was on the road, but he had no reason to ask for benefits, so he thought about it.

"Chen Fang, you have just moved in and you have to invite people from the compound to have a banquet with you. How about setting up a few tables! The third uncle just happens to write a few calligraphy paintings for you, so I will charge you 10 yuan. I am not willing to do it for ordinary people.

It will be easier for you kid."

The third uncle said shamelessly that he was such a person in the original drama. He would take advantage of the opportunity and would not be polite at all.

Chen Fang also laughed angrily, saying that Yan Fugui was Yan Laoxi, but he didn't expect him to be even better than Yan Laoxi!

"Third uncle, I just moved in. As an elder, you should treat me, a junior, to a meal!" Chen Fang said angrily. He really thought that he was easy to bully. He said nothing to Chen Fang after a meal.

The third uncle was speechless and said with a sly smile, "Look at me young man, I'm not happy for your own good."

"Okay, third uncle, thank you!"

After saying that, Chen Fang entered the house.
