Chapter 606: Buying a House
"This is the most prosperous commercial street in Guangzhou in this era?"
As far as the eye can see, there is a cluster of low, dilapidated houses, even "shanty towns", with plaques hanging from bamboo poles, such as "Tai Chang Long" and "Xi Lai Fu", and the middle road is less than 5 meters narrow, but the flow of people is good, and a person in a long shirt is pacing down the street or talking to the shopkeeper.
As the locals do, Yanluo's hair doesn't shave, but the modern garments of jeans, shirts and jackets are so striking that he enters a clothing shop and gets a new outfit.
In 1879, there were tailor-made shops in China, and when the Republic of China in 1911 was the Xinhai Revolution, suits were regarded as the main dresses, and foreigners and foreigners who went abroad for business and study wore suits.
Putting on a tie and changing into leather shoes, the shopkeeper stood aside and carefully complimented: "Childe is worthy of coming back from a foreign country, he is really a talent, and he is a dragon and phoenix among people...... No, it should be said that Wenqu Xing descended to earth, which is different from the laity. ”
Yan Luo took out Dayang to pay and asked, "I just arrived in Guangzhou, I don't know where to rent a house?" ”
"Rent a house." The boss hurriedly said, "This easy Guangzhou is full of houses for rent, I don't know what the son needs?" Single room or multi-room, short-term rental or long-term rental, what grade should it be? ”
"It's a more prosperous place, long-term rental, the grade is better, money is not a problem."
Money is indeed not a problem for Yan Luo, he has a lot of gems in his hand, and the power of words to "hide" to steal, or directly hypnotize the pupil illusion is a good way to get money.
Hearing him say this, the smile on the face of the shopkeeper was a little more enthusiastic and bowed and said: "Since the son is not short of money, it is better to buy a house than to rent a house, and then sell it after buying a set, it is better than renting a house and giving money to others every month. ”
"Okay."
The boss handed over the shop to the man, took him directly to call two rickshaws, and went to the Pearl River with a smoke.
The so-called Henan, refers to the south of the Pearl River, can also be called Zhuhai District, Yanluo saw the unique scenery of Guangzhou in this era on the rickshaw, the surface of the Pearl River is full of boats, hundreds of thousands of people actually live on the river! They usually live in "houseboats", and there is no home on land, and the house they live in rises and falls with the tide of the river every day.
The boss smiled and introduced in another rickshaw: "Almost all the boats on the shore here, what kind of fun the boy wants, whether it is a prostitute, or a big cigarette, listening to a song, or eating and drinking, you can solve it in the flower boat, which is called a summer garden by foreigners." ”
"If the son buys that house, close to the summer garden, it is easy to meet foreigners, but also be careful, now Guangzhou is full of gangs, bandits, bandits, swimmers, salt lords, bandits, foreign thieves, extortion of merchants everywhere to forcibly collect protection fees, open brothels and casinos, alas...... Those of us who open shops have to pay more than 10 protection fees a month, and some gangs are lawless, attacking the government, and even foreigners dare to kill them. ”
"The security team with foreigners in this part of Zhuhai District is better, and I hope that after Lord Zhongtang arrives in a few days, it will bring a new atmosphere."
"When Childe and others buy a house, they must buy a few slave bodyguards, otherwise they are single and rich, and those gangs will not let go of a fat sheep, they don't care whether you are a talent who came back from studying in the West."
The boss chattered and explained things to Yanluo, and arrived at his destination when it was getting late.
A 3-storey European-style house building, called "Little White Building" in this era, a total of thirteen rooms upstairs and downstairs, mainly there is a small yard, with a garden inside, of course, now it is barren and overgrown, there are some potholes in the garden, especially a large earthen pit about the size of a basketball court, this house and the garden If it is placed in more than 100 years, it is absolutely sky-high.
In this era, it is also a top-level bungalow, and there is no way to say that it cannot be sold, after all, there are many rich people in Guangzhou now.
"Why didn't this house sell?"
"Don't dare to deceive the son, this house used to have something to do with the revolutionaries."
The boss bowed down and said: "At the beginning, Sun Yat-sen brought a group of people to Guangzhou, set up the Guangzhou branch of the Xingzhong Society, and developed hundreds of people to join the organization. ”
"My friend rented this small building to them at the beginning, and later he fled to Shanghai for fear of being implicated by the wanted revolutionaries, as for this house was originally the base of the revolutionaries, no one dared to buy it, and the big pit in the garden was left by several revolutionaries when they fought with Li Jiazhuo when they were arrested, and Li Jiazhuo was the commander of the patrol battalion, the confidant of Tan Zhonglin, the governor of Liangguang, and his martial arts were extremely terrifying."
Yanluo: "Strong martial arts? ”
"Of course it's very strong, there are many people who practice martial arts in the mixed gangs of the three sects and nine streams in Guangzhou, such as the Ten Tigers of Guangdong, then Li Jiazhuo is the commander of the patrol bravery, if the martial arts are not high, he can't control the field, he is good at using the eagle claw iron cloth shirt and the Wulang gossip stick."
The boss explained, and said: "I don't dare to hide it from Childe, I will tell all this, if Childe likes it, I will definitely give you a low price, much cheaper than other houses, if you feel worried about trouble, it's nothing, I know a few people in Zhuhai District, and I can rent other houses for Childe today." ”
Of course, Yan Luo is not afraid of trouble: "How much does it cost to buy it?" ”
The owner of the coat shop was suddenly ecstatic in his heart, after all, he could get a 10% intermediary fee for the sale of this house, and hurriedly said: "Childe really wants, as long as 3000 oceans!" If it weren't for this incident, the house would have cost at least 5,000 oceans. ”
Yan Luo also reached the 2000 oceans, but he only had more than 10 pieces on him, so he simply took out a large particle of magic crystal ruby condensed by fire element magic.
In 1900, Chinese gems were rarer and more precious than the magic world, and the boss was a little surprised to see a ruby close to the size of a fingernail, he didn't dare to eat this gem and couldn't identify the value, so he invited a professional appraiser from the Chamber of Commerce overnight, but he couldn't identify the variety of the gemstone, and finally took it to a foreigner's jewelry store, which was purchased by the store for 600 pounds.
600 pounds is about 6,000 oceans, pounds are very valuable in this era, and 6,000 oceans is enough to buy a courtyard house in Beijing! Yan Luo suddenly became a small rich man, and after paying 2,000 oceans, there were still 4,000 yuan left.
After all this, it was already the afternoon of the next day.
The boss left happily, and asked if the maid and the bodyguard were willing to do it, Yan Luo refused, the bodyguard is the wolf and the woolly bear, as for the maid...... Isn't there little love and Joan of Arc?
