There was a wooden fence outside the coffee shop with green vines crawling on it. It looked very quiet and secluded.
Opposite the door were two CBD buildings. The sofas were all grey in color, and the wooden furniture made the whole place look clean and fresh. The girl looked at the sun outside, then pushed open the glass door and walked in.
"Little Xia, over here, over here." As soon as the girl entered the door, a chubby middle-aged man in a light blue Tang suit greeted her with a smile not far from the counter.
"Uncle Guang." The tall girl called Little Xia was called Xia Yu. She walked quickly to the middle-aged man and smiled.
"You came pretty fast. I was just shopping. Are you feeling better?" Uncle Guang asked her to sit down.
"I've been doing well recently. I wasn't shopping. I was just about to eat when you called me over," the girl said directly.
"It's fine as long as you are feeling well. Everything else is trivial. But if you didn't come today, the seller would have sold the house to someone else," Uncle Guang waved his hand carelessly.
"Why is the seller so anxious?" Xia Yu couldn't help but frown.
"You'll know why when we get there," Uncle Guang smiled and signaled Xia Yu to pick up the coffee on the table.
"Are we leaving?" Xia Yu picked up the coffee and asked.
"Of course. He should be here soon. We can just walk there," Uncle Guang nodded and stood up first.
Of course, although Uncle Guang was wearing a Tang suit, he was also holding a cup of coffee in his hand.
"Thank you, Uncle Guang," Xia Yu said politely.
"Let's skip the formalities. Your parents and I are old friends. Plus, I carried you when you were young. Although it's hard to find a house here, I still have a way to get one for you," Uncle Guang said proudly as he walked.
"Yes, yes, yes. Uncle Guang is the best," Xia Yu praised tactfully.
"Haha, of course. Little Xia, you just came back from America, so you don't know the market. Even the school district houses in Chengdu are easier to get than the houses here," Uncle Guang said mysteriously.
"Oh? Is that so? "Xia Yu nodded on the surface, but she had some doubts in her heart.
Xia Yu had been abroad for more than ten years, but she grew up in Chengdu. Later, she followed her family to the United States, where she studied and worked until she retired due to illness.
Because his family was all Chinese, he liked to pay attention to domestic news, and he knew a little about housing prices.
For example, Chinese people like to buy houses near schools.
"Isn't that so? If you had come back before the New Year, it would have been easier to buy a house here. But now, it's even more difficult." Uncle Guang looked around and shook his head.
"Why is that?" Xia Yu took a sip of coffee and asked with narrowed eyes.
"Look around. Do you see anything?" Uncle Guang pointed to the surrounding tall CBD buildings and the many fenced up buildings in the distance.
"Is this place being developed?" Xia Yu looked around and asked.
"Exactly. They are preparing to build a gourmet cultural city around our Taoxi Road. Therefore, there are many people buying houses now. Moreover, many of them have bought houses for investment and personal use." Uncle Guang nodded and said.
"No wonder it's so hard to buy a house." Xia Yu nodded.
It was always difficult to buy a house in a developing and prosperous area. It was the same in every country.
For example, the housing prices in New York were not cheaper than those in Beijing, although one only had 70 years of property rights while the other was for life.
"It's hard to buy. We have found a seller now." Uncle Guang led Xia Yu to the main street of Taoxi Road happily.
Both of them walked fast. Uncle Guang was used to being a middleman, while Xia Yu was tall and had long legs. Therefore, she walked fast.
In a little while, they passed by the Yuanzhou shop and continued to walk forward.
When they passed by the Yuanzhou shop, Xia Yu looked at it subconsciously and found that there was no longer a line in front of the shop. Instead, there was a person sitting at the door and carving with a knife.
They walked quickly and arrived at the end of Taoxi Road in a little while, which was close to the street office.
Uncle Guang led his men around the street office and went straight to the building at the back.
This building was the same as the previous buildings. It was an old-fashioned building without elevators and only had seven floors. The house that Uncle Guang said was for sale was on the top floor.
They climbed the stairs quickly and arrived at the seventh floor in a little while.
"Hey, this is the one." Uncle Guang pointed at the big iron door on the left and said.
"This building is really old-fashioned. It's exactly the same as the one I lived in when I was young." Xia Yu smiled.
"But the price is different." Uncle Guang opened the iron door with a smile and led them into the house.
The door to the room was facing an old-fashioned shoe rack. On the left was the living room, and on the right were two open doors. One door led to the kitchen, and the other to the master bedroom. Both rooms had large windows facing the outside, and it looked like they had good lighting.
The living room was relatively large. There was even a compartment in the style of tatami for sleeping and drinking tea.
There was a balcony in front of them. There were four windows on the balcony, which also looked very bright.
All in all, the furniture and decorations here were neither new nor old. They could move in directly after tidying up a little. It looked like a residential house.
Xia Yu turned around slightly and then looked down from the balcony. She could see the main street of Taoxi Road that they had just passed.
"How much is this house?" Xia Yu asked directly.
"31,000 square meters. The interior area is 62.5 square meters." Uncle Guang said casually.
"What did you say?" Xia Yu suspected that she didn't hear him clearly.
"It's true. I didn't tell you the price on the way here." Uncle Guang patted his head when he saw Xia Yu's surprised expression. Then, he explained again, "Didn't I say it's hard to buy a house here? Not only is it hard to buy, but the rooms are also ridiculously expensive. It's still cheap at this price. "
"But the surrounding area isn't prosperous. I remember that the city center of Chengdu is Chunxi Road?" Xia Yu said.
"Yes. That's indeed the city center." Uncle Guang nodded. But when he saw Xia Yu's puzzled expression, he waved at her and said, "Come here."
Uncle Guang led Xia Yu to the balcony and then pointed down, "What do you see?"
"Street?" Xia Yu was puzzled.
"No. Look ahead." Uncle Guang stretched out his fat and short finger and pointed at the middle of Taoxi Road.
"People coming and going?" Xia Yu said after a moment of silence.
"Wrong. That's Boss Yuan's shop. Do you see the person carved at the door? That's Boss Yuan. "Uncle Guang stroked his bald chin and said with admiration.
"What's wrong with Boss Yuan?" Xia Yu finally realized that Uncle Guang was pointing at the shop where she had queued up in the morning.
"I forgot that you've only been back for two days. You don't know." Uncle Guang mumbled. Then, he turned his head and explained, "It's like this. Taoxi Road wasn't prosperous in the past. The houses here were only worth 5,000 yuan. But ever since Boss Yuan became famous one or two years ago, the houses here have been rising."
"The reason why it's so expensive here is because Boss Yuan is here. The reason why it's so expensive here is because this place is very close to Boss Yuan's restaurant. You can even see Boss Yuan when you open the window," Uncle Guang said earnestly.
Xia Yu, "…"
