Chapter 942: The courtyard is in hand, there is hope to win magic with magic

When Li Long and the others arrived at the alley, the young man was looking forward to it at the door, looking at Gu Xiao Yu, Li Long, and the others coming over, immediately grinned and waved:

"Come, come... you guys finally came."

The voice was not loud, it could be heard that it was deliberately suppressed.

Li Long felt a bit strange listening, why suppress the voice?

They walked into the courtyard, and sure enough, saw those old furniture Gu Xiao Yu said were piled in the courtyard.

Li Jianguo looked at it a few times, then went to look at the courtyard, Li Juan and Li Qiang didn't like these old furniture even more.

"This is... Huanghuali?" Li Long leaned closer to take a look, and poked it with his hand, asking.

"Yo, you are an expert?" The young man originally thought they were bumpkins from out of town, didn't expect this one to know goods, he said with a smile: "Interested? But sorry, it's already sold, someone came to take the goods... sigh, in this era, my courtyard is not as good as this broken furniture, sigh..."

"Who let the wood of this furniture be good, if it were golden nanmu, it would be worth several courtyards." Li Long also joked, he sized it up, and said, "The courtyard is not bad."

"Heh, you look highly at me." The young man hurriedly waved his hand, "If there were golden nanmu, would I still need to sell the courtyard? Don't mention it, don't mention it, you are the main person buying the courtyard, right? No Yanjing household registration? This matter I have to tell you clearly... of course, if you have abundant US dollars in your hand, this is not impossible to handle..."

Li Long originally thought about letting it fall on Gu Xiao Yu's head, now hearing this young man say that if there were US dollars, it could also be handled, so he became interested and said: "Then what is the way? If it can really be handled, I won't be less with your intermediary fee, paid in US dollars."

"Really?" The young man's eyes lit up, immediately leaned over and said: "So to speak, the person handling the procedure, there are also people in the family who want to go out, this US dollar, like me, is not enough.

Of course, this matter cannot be put on the table, because during this period of time, many people have seen my courtyard, and many people have run the procedures, I know people, can make connections..."

"Then you trouble yourself to help ask?" Li Long smiled, "This matter I also say clearly, we plan to buy several courtyards, one thing doesn't bother two masters, if you can help me find a few courtyards like yours that have no trouble, then similarly, I will pay the intermediary fee in US dollars."

The young man was really excited this time, he immediately came over and reached out and said: "Really didn't see it, hello, hello, my name is Shao Li Cheng, others call me Da Cheng, the Cheng of honesty, how do you address?"

"My name is Li Long." Li Long shook hands with him and said, "Comrade Da Cheng, then let's talk about the matter of this courtyard first. How about it?"

"Fine, fine, no problem. If it falls on you, then you have to clear the way first, you see this..." Shao Li Cheng rubbed his fingers, smiling.

"I can't just listen to your empty words, right?" Li Long shook his head with a smile, "Shouldn't we set a rule first, and then I pay, so at least I have a bottom in my heart, right?"

The young man retracted his hand in embarrassment, obviously, this person in front of him was also not easy to fool, he said:

"Then fine, let's talk about the matter, the girl talked to me about this courtyard earlier, 1,250 US dollars, you recognize this, right?"

"Recognize." Li Long said, "If you add the money for handling the procedures, how much is it in total?" Obviously, Li Long intended to get it all down together. This courtyard was not bad, although it wasn't as big as the one he had in Ma County, but small had small benefits, quiet, and no other miscellaneous people.

At this time, units basically allocated houses, of course, the unit's houses were also in short supply, and there were many people who couldn't be allocated houses, such as Huang Yufei. So there were people buying houses privately, and the official didn't forbid it.

But there were many people and few houses, many courtyards were lived in by many families, some rented, some were stationed by the official to solve housing. It was relatively difficult for the original owner to clear the household.

This courtyard had no tenants, saving a lot of trouble, thinking that people who wanted to buy this courtyard should be many. If it weren't for his US dollars taking advantage, this young man really might not necessarily be willing.

"Two thousand, at least two thousand." The young man said, "Don't look at the procedure as just a thin piece of paper, but the rules are dead, people want to break the rules, they have to spend a lot of money to settle a bunch of people."

The reason is this reason, but the real situation is hard to say.

Li Long calculated whether these two thousand US dollars were worth it.

Li Jianguo and the others had finished looking at all the rooms and returned to the courtyard.

"This courtyard is not bad." Li Jianguo was quite satisfied.

"Little Uncle, it's not as big as yours, that one has houses behind." Li Qiang whispered, "The room is not as big as that one either."

Shao Li Cheng's mouth twitched, thinking to himself this one still has a courtyard, listening to what this child said, is it two-entry?

Gu Xiao Yu had been paying attention to the conversation between Li Long and this young man surnamed Shao. Seeing Li Jianguo and the others finished looking, she also walked over.

"Xiao Yu, do you want this courtyard?" Li Long asked, "If you want, just buy it directly."

Shao Li Cheng was worried immediately, he really worried that Gu Xiao Yu would agree, although it also received US dollars, but if this girl bought it, wouldn't the US dollars behind be earned by himself?

"I don't want it," Gu Xiao shook her head. "It's too big, and it's not convenient for me to live in alone. I've thought about it; if I'm going to buy, a single room with one bright and two dark areas will do. I still plan to look for one near our workplace."

"Right, right, right, this courtyard is big, it's really not convenient for a single girl to live in." Shao Li Cheng hurriedly said: "Still have to have many people living in it to be good."

Li Long could see that this person just wanted US dollars, he was worried that if Gu Xiao Yu bought it, she would pay RMB, so he said this.

"Then fine." Li Long looked at his elder brother, "Big Brother, how is this courtyard?"

"Quite good, I feel quite good."

"Then fine, Comrade Da Cheng, we want this courtyard. Let's discuss how to pay. If you can handle this procedure, two thousand is not impossible, but we can't just say it with empty words, I have to believe it. You have to show some sincerity..."

The pressure was given to Shao Li Cheng here, he was also thinking about how to gain Li Long's trust?

Li Long took out a stack of US dollars from his bag, and those green bills really made his eyes hot.

"How about this? Give me five hundred US dollars first." Shao Li Cheng said: "These five hundred are not much for you, right? Five hundred is equivalent to a deposit, I take this money and it's easy to talk to people, right? Otherwise, people can't believe me, right?"

"Also fine, but five hundred US dollars is not a small amount," Li Long looked at the things in the courtyard, pointed to a official hat chair and said: "Then I'll take this as a mortgage, how about it? Just a meaning, fine?"

This pile of furniture, only this chair was pleasing to the eye, Li Long really meant this.

"Fine." Shao Li Cheng agreed.

Li Long wanted to take out money, Gu Xiao Yu took out the five hundred US dollars Li Long gave her and snatched it to hand to Shao Li Cheng.

Shao Li Cheng smiled and took it and said: "All the same, all the same."

"Same also has to write a note." Li Long said, "We are meeting for the first time, it's better to set up a note for this kind of thing."

"No problem, no problem." Shao Li Cheng wanted to earn more US dollars, naturally agreed to everything.

Holding the deposit receipt, carrying the chair and preparing to leave, Li Long asked Shao Li Cheng again:

"Just now you also heard that the bungalow my sister wants, where are there such houses for sale nearby, you are a local, you should know clearly, right?"

"There are, it's just... how to say it, that house needs to be cleaned up." Shao Li Cheng thought about it and said, "Just walk west from the alley I live in, walk another thirty or forty meters forward, go into an alley, there are bungalows inside, it's a bit mixed there..."

"Forget it, no." Gu Xiao Yu didn't speak, Li Long directly rejected it, "That definitely won't work."

Shao Li Cheng didn't speak again.

Li Long and the others returned to the hotel, discussing the next action. Shao Li Cheng locked the door and started to act.

The fever of going abroad started in the early eighties, now it's a hot time, whether it's settling abroad or traveling abroad, public dispatch, going out all needs foreign currency, this US dollar is a continuous hot thing.

Shao Li Cheng took those US dollars and first went to a nearby bank, found a familiar face outside, let people see the US dollars in his hand, confirmed there was no problem, and then hurriedly ran to a public unit, at this time the sky was already dark, people here were getting off work one after another. When he knocked on an office door, the fifty-something bald man in the office was carrying a bag and preparing to get off work. When seeing Shao Li Cheng, this man said impatiently:

"Why come at this time? Off work, have things tomorrow."

"No, no," Shao Li Cheng said with a full smile:

"Director Zheng, it's a good thing, don't be anxious, listen to me, it's such a matter, someone entrusted me to find you to handle things, what they took is this..."

He took out those US dollars, but took out four hundred.

Mainly afraid that this Director Zheng would open his mouth like a lion, take it all at once, his loss here could also be less.

Always have to guard against it, right?

As soon as Director Zheng saw the US dollars, the impatient expression on his face immediately disappeared.

He knew Shao Li Cheng mainly because someone invited him to dinner, knowing that this person had a courtyard to sell, was anxious to go abroad, and money was not enough.

Both lacked US dollars, so they got to know each other, now seeing the other party take US dollars, this is finding the door?

"Say it, what matter, I'll tell you well, this illegal and disciplinary thing, I won't do it!"

"How could it be illegal and disciplinary?" Shao Li Cheng heard and hurriedly waved his hand, "We can't do that either. The matter is like this, someone came to buy my courtyard, need to settle the household registration, this is a bit troublesome. But people also said clearly, willing to use this to pay, spend more money is fine..."

As he said this, he raised the bills in his hand: "This master is not short of money, and has also asked around here..."

"Speak clearly!" Director Zheng saw this Shao Li Cheng talking cloudily, his face immediately sank:

"Where is the trouble exactly?"

"The one buying the courtyard is an out-of-town household registration." Shao Li Cheng originally wanted to turn a corner and say the difficulty was small, but Director Zheng's official prestige was there, he immediately dropped the bottom, "As long as it's handled well, one courtyard, six hundred US dollars of benefit fee!"

Total two thousand for Li Long, he thought about taking away one hundred fifty in the middle.

One hundred fifty, the black market price would be one thousand yuan!

"Can't handle it." Director Zheng shook his head directly, "Such a big matter, six hundred US dollars? Even if US dollars are valuable now, this matter can't be settled, this is not something I can say alone..."

As he said this, he carried the bag and looked at Shao Li Cheng.

Shao Li Cheng immediately understood, this matter had a door, but the other party thought the money was too little.

Bargaining, Shao Li Cheng couldn't possibly pour out all the bottom at once, he said with a smile:

"Director, people don't just have one courtyard, if they want two or three courtyards, then it's over one thousand, the other party is not short of money, but also asked around here..."

"Even if they asked around, this matter is not so easy to handle." Director Zheng didn't want to force it too tight, thought about it and said: "Do you know if there are any suitable courtyards anywhere else?"

"No." Shao Li Cheng shook his head, "The courtyards I know all have some trouble, there are tenants inside, people find it troublesome."

Director Zheng thought about it, he could handle the matter, maybe there was a small tail behind, but he did it well, the other party definitely couldn't see it. Since he wanted to do it, then do a big one, he thought about it and said:

"I have two courtyards registered here, one two-entry and one one-entry, just vacated public housing, but the location is quite good, the price will be higher, the money for this procedure is also higher, the person you said, can they take it down?"

Shao Li Cheng hit this idea. He didn't have housing sources himself, Director Zheng had them here, most of the housing sources in the whole district had to be registered here, this person although usually not showing off, the information he mastered could all be exchanged for money!

"Fine, feel it's possible. The person who came to find me today is not short of money, it should be no problem!"

"Don't say no problem, go ask for a firm word. To handle it, handle it together, otherwise forget it." Director Zheng knew that relying on one courtyard, wanting to set up more US dollars was impossible.

But wanting several courtyards together, then asking for more is no problem, right? Anyway, selling this courtyard to whom is not selling?

"Fine, fine, fine, Director, look if you can give me the place, I'll take people over to take a look, so it's better for people to decide, right?" Shao Li Cheng said with a smile.

"Give, key." Director Zheng opened the drawer, gave the key, and said the address, Shao Li Cheng took the key and was about to leave, Director Zheng snorted coldly and looked at the money in Shao Li Cheng's hand.

Shao Li Cheng hesitated for a moment, finally handed the four hundred US dollars to Director Zheng's hand, although it hurt, he still said with a smile: "Director, this money I just asked someone to verify, no problem."

"Forgive him for not daring to lie to me." Director Zheng took the money, looked at the denomination and was also startled, such a big denomination.

But since it was true, then it was fine.

Shao Li Cheng went out and walked far away, only then spat "Pah," but also knew that wanting to make money, had to earn risk, and had to run legs.

Li Long left the hotel address when he left, he saw the sky was already dark, but thinking about worrying that Li Long and the others would turn to other places tomorrow, he went to the hotel again.

Li Long and the others in the hotel had already finished dinner and were talking about

"You didn't get through? Tomorrow I'll take you to another post and telecommunications office. The connections there are faster, and you'll be able to get through," Gu Xiao Yu said after hearing that Li Long and the others hadn't gotten through on the phone. "I called a senior fellow apprentice in the south earlier, and it should be possible to get through."

"That's good," Li Jianguo thought it would be better to notify their family.

"Then after we get through on the phone tomorrow, Gu Xiao Yu, you see what's convenient and take Juan and Qiangqiang to stroll around the university," Li Long said. "See if you can go to those top-tier universities? If that's not possible, then just go to your university."

Gu Xiao Yu didn't want to return to her dormitory; she wanted to stay here with her sister for a few more days. She was very greedy for this feeling, and even though there were only a few days left, she didn't want to let them go.

Just at this moment, Shao Li Cheng came looking for them.

After confirming at the hostel that Li Long and the others were staying there, Shao Li Cheng said he was their friend, but the staff didn't want to call them, as it was already dark and there were rules and regulations here.

Li Long had sharper ears and heard the noise outside. He went out, saw Shao Li Cheng arguing with the staff in the hallway, went over to say a word to the staff, and then went outside with Shao Li Cheng.

After hearing what Shao Li Cheng had to say, Li Long asked:

"You mean to say we can look tomorrow? Where is the location?"

"It's not very far from here. There are two courtyards, one with two entrances and one with one. If you can take both, and take all three courtyards, then the paperwork will be easier to handle."

Shao Li Cheng genuinely wanted to facilitate this deal. He said to Li Long:

"Comrade Li, I can see you're not short of money. I suggest you take them if you can. To be honest, I can see that the person over there is asking for too much; the paperwork for three courtyards and one courtyard costs about the same."

"Then I'll have to see the courtyards first before I decide," Li Long shook his head and said, "I want to buy this stuff, but I can't buy everything, right? Are those two courtyards cleared out?"

"Cleared, they're cleared. Don't worry, once the courtyard gate is locked, no one can interfere." Hearing Li Long's tone, Shao Li Cheng realized he could really afford it, so he immediately said, "Then it's settled, we'll go look at the courtyards tomorrow?"

"Fine. After breakfast tomorrow, you come find us, okay?"

"That's definitely no problem," Shao Li Cheng smiled.

Li Long saw he wasn't leaving yet, realized what was going on, and said, "Don't worry, as long as I successfully buy these courtyards, your commission won't be short. I'll pay in US dollars, is that okay?"

"Hey, Comrade Li is truly straightforward! I'll definitely keep your matter in mind. Don't worry, I'll try my best to push the price down on that side and get you a good deal! That side is public property, so you can rest assured about that aspect..."

Li Long smiled and sent Shao Li Cheng out, then entered the room and told his older brother about the matter.

"Buying one more courtyard should be enough, right? Buying two, is it okay just to leave them there?"

"We'll see," Li Long had figured it out now; it was best to spend these two stacks of twenty thousand US dollars. Keeping them on him and returning to Northern Tianshan wouldn't be of much use.

If he really bought courtyards that didn't have any trouble, he could come over once or twice a year to tidy them up, and usually just let Gu Xiao Yu keep an eye on them. That would be great.

But thinking about it, he might still need to raise his status a bit. The title of the Autonomous Region wasn't loud enough; if he could get a national-level title, that would be even better. (End of chapter)
