Chapter 462 Buying Land and Building Your Own House
Since the Spring Festival in 1989 was early, in early February, there were more things to do at work after New Year's Day.
However, for Fang Minghua, there was another important thing, which was to look at land.
Fang Minghua now lives in a commercial building, but he is interested in the kind of houses with courtyards. After buying a courtyard house in Yanjing, he always wanted to buy one in Xijing.
The two children are growing up and like to run around outside. If there is a courtyard like my father-in-law's house, the children can play in the courtyard, and if there are some flowers and trees planted like in the courtyard houses in Yanjing, it is quiet in the hustle and bustle, this is how to live.
There are also courtyard houses in Xijing, but they are more dilapidated. Several families use one faucet and go to the public toilet. Fang Minghua really doesn't like it.
More importantly, they are all in small alleys, and the alleys are narrow, so cars can't pass at all.
However, some time ago, a developer known to Zhao Hongjun was renovating low-lying shantytowns and dilapidated houses in a place called Nanfang Lane in Chaoyangmen in the east of the city, and requisitioned a large piece of land to build commercial housing.
According to the plan, there is a vacant land of about 400 square meters in the northeast corner that cannot be used for the time being. After Fang Minghua learned this news from Zhao Hongjun, he suddenly had an idea:
Why not just buy that piece of land and build a small building like in the countryside? Wouldn't it be beautiful to have a small yard in front?
This place is not far from Xincheng Square, and it is very convenient to go to my parents' home or my father-in-law's home.
Through Zhao Hongjun, I contacted the developer several times, and the other party basically agreed. Today, we will go to discuss the price in detail.
Fang Minghua received a call from Fang Zhao Hongjun in his office: "Minghua, I'm at the door of your unit."
"Okay, I'll be down right away."
Fang Minghua tidied up the messy desktop, picked up his briefcase and hurried out the stairs. When he walked out of the door, he saw a brand new black Crown parked diagonally across the street. Zhao Hongjun stuck his head out of the car window and waved, and he walked over.
This is not the Crown that Zhao Hongjun bought privately, but the eighth-generation Crown that Shengshi Book Company bought not long ago.
The company's scale has expanded rapidly. One Xiali car is definitely not enough, so they bought a Crown and a Santana.
Fang Minghua opened the car door and sat in the passenger seat. The car was warm as spring.
"Let's go directly to the construction site. Boss Ma is there." Zhao Hongjun said and slowly started the car.
Going north along Shangqin Road, it only takes more than ten minutes to reach Nanfang Lane.
Sitting in the car, Fang Minghua saw that this was originally a low-rise residential area, but now all the houses have been demolished and it has become a huge construction site.
Zhao Hongjun parked the car outside the construction site. He and Zhao Hongjun entered the construction site and asked several workers wearing safety helmets. Finally, they found the boss surnamed Ma.
Boss Ma's name is Ma Shilin. He is not old, about 40 years old. After getting to know him, I found out that he was a department-level cadre in the Municipal Construction Bureau and went into business two years ago.
After the two shook hands, Ma Shilin took him to see the land.
It was in the northeast corner of the community. What made Fang Ming happy was that the land was next to Shangai Road, and the built yard could be opened directly on Shangai Road.
Not bad, not bad.
Fang Minghua secretly praised in his heart.
There is no problem for the car to enter and exit.
"Editor Fang, we are all friends. This piece of land is 482 square meters. I got the land from the Housing Authority at 42,000 yuan per mu. How about I transfer it to you at the original price?"
Fang Minghua didn't care about the price. He was concerned about the processing of the real estate certificate and the surrounding supporting facilities.
When Fang Minghua raised this question, Ma Shilin smiled and said, "You don't have to worry about the property certificate. We will handle it together with the residents of the entire community in the future. As for the supporting facilities, who are you going to find to repair it?"
"No one." Fang Ming said with a smile, "I heard that the construction company that built the houses in this community is also your own? I'll trouble you, Boss Ma, to repair it."
"That's easier to do. I will include the water, electricity and heating of your building in the overall arrangement of the entire community. As for the construction costs, I will also give you a discount!"
"Okay, as long as the quality is guaranteed."
"Don't worry, we are all friends, how can I cheat you?"
In the end, the two agreed that Fang Minghua would buy the land for 30,300 yuan, and Qinhan Construction Company, a subsidiary of Ma Shilin's own Qinhan Real Estate Company, would build it, charging 260 yuan per square meter for construction fees.
House prices have risen again
As for the design of the building, Fang Minghua was going to do it himself.
The two signed the contract in the board house on the construction site. Fang Minghua transferred the 30,300 yuan land payment to the other company's account within a week, and the construction costs would be paid after the house was repaired.
After finishing his business, Fang Minghua returned to the unit.
In the car, Zhao Hongjun drove and couldn't help asking: "Minghua, I really can't understand why the rich people in Xijing City want to live in high-rise buildings, but you want to build your own house! It's so troublesome, you might as well live in a high-rise with me."
It turned out that last year, the first high-rise residential building in Xijing was built on Xu Shimiao Street near Xijing Lianhu Park!
The 16-story building, more than 40 meters high, stands out among the surrounding low-rise bungalows. Equipped with an elevator that goes up and down, it attracted many ordinary people to go and see the novelty.
Of course, the price is not cheap. The base price has reached 600 yuan per square meter. The higher the floor, the more valuable it is. It is known as the most expensive in Xijing City.
Zhao Hongjun was so excited that he immediately felt that the three-bedroom, two-living-room new house he lived in on Xingqing Road when he got married was not so attractive, so he bought the most expensive house on the top floor.
The four-bedroom, two-living room house has an area of 136 square meters, and the cost of the whole house is 95,200 yuan!
Of course, this amount of money is not a problem for him.
The house has been acquired, and it is ready to be renovated after the spring of next year. Fang Minghua was dragged by him to see the house. Standing on the balcony, there is indeed a feeling of overlooking all the hills.
Not only can you see the bell tower, but also the Big Wild Goose Pagoda in the distance.
Zhao Hongjun was very proud, but Fang Minghua sneered.
Now hearing him say this again, Fang Minghua immediately smiled and replied: "I am afraid of heights, and it is safest to keep my feet on the ground."
Of course, Zhao Hongjun also sneered at his words.
When he returned home in the evening, Fang Minghua picked up a pencil and enthusiastically designed a new house on paper.
Before crossing, I envied those local tyrants who lived in villas, and now it can finally be realized!
Abandon the European style and use the new Chinese style!
Of course, I don’t understand architectural design, I just draw a schematic diagram, and the real house drawings still need professionals to do it.
But this also makes Fang Minghua very happy.
In addition to being happy, he also pulled his wife over to share.
"I plan to build a five-room, three-story building, facing north and south." Fang Minghua drew a house crookedly on the blueprint.
"Build a row of flat-roofed wing rooms on the west side of the yard. The kitchen, storage room, and utility room are all here. The roof can be used as an open-air balcony. The southeast side of the road is the entrance door, and there are two garages next to it."
Fang Minghua said excitedly.
"The first floor is the living room, parents' bedroom, tea room and guest room, etc."
"Our family lives on the second floor, with three bedrooms and two study rooms. There is a bathroom on each floor. We have a separate bedroom." Fang Minghua said while drawing.
"What about the third floor? Is it empty?" Song Tang asked.
"Did you forget? We still have tens of thousands of paintings. I plan to make a private painting exhibition hall on the third floor."
Song Tangtang nodded after listening and asked again.
"Should we plant trees and flowers in the yard?"
"Of course, they should be beautiful, like the courtyard in Yanjing!"
"Then you can just ask that girl named Wang Zi to help you plant them. You said she is good at planting flowers."
