"Young man, where do you live? Do you have a house in the capital? "After chatting with Jia Yapeng for a long time, an auntie suddenly asked.
"Yes!" Jia Yapeng nodded sincerely. How could he not have a house in the capital? He had more than 1,000 units.
"Where do you put it?" the auntie asked again.
"In the Asian Games Village!" Jia Yapeng answered honestly.
"Does the Asian Games Village also have a siheyuan? No, are they all adobe bungalows? "another old man asked disdainfully.
"No, the Asian Games Village is full of buildings!" Jia Yapeng smiled and said, "The reason why it's called the Asian Games Village is that the buildings were specially built to hold the Asian Games. They were all built according to the housing standards of the United States. Just like what the auntie just said, each house has three bedrooms, two living rooms, one kitchen, and one bathroom."
"What does three bedrooms, two living rooms, one kitchen, and one bathroom mean?" an auntie had never heard of this new term.
"It means that each house has three bedrooms, one living room, one dining room, one kitchen, and one bathroom!" Jia Yapeng explained.
"Your house has a separate dining room, kitchen, and bathroom! There are so many rooms! It must be very big! "the auntie asked with her mouth wide open.
"Yes, it's 100 square meters!" Jia Yapeng nodded and said.
"100 square meters. All our houses together are less than 50 square meters!" The auntie's face was full of envy. Although the siheyuan looked quite big, it was usually shared by several families. Each family usually only had one bedroom and one side room. They ate, slept, and relaxed in one room. They had to run out of the room to go to the bathroom. Sometimes, they even had to run outside the siheyuan to go to the bathroom. Life was actually very crowded.
Therefore, when they heard that Jia Yapeng's house was 100 square meters, and it was a building with so many rooms and functions, everyone's face was full of envy.
"Xiao Jia, do you have a toilet and a bathtub in your house?" A middle-aged man asked curiously. In the eyes of people in this era, if a house had a separate bathroom, toilet, and a bathtub that only appeared in foreign movies, it was an absolutely luxurious modern residence.
"Yes!" Jia Yapeng nodded. Because the houses in the Asian Games Village were originally prepared for foreign athletes, the bathrooms and toilets were especially modern, and they did come with their own bathtubs.
"This is perfect!"
"Oh my god, it's a thousand times better than our house!!"
"Mom, Dad, I want to live in a building!"
Jia Yapeng's words quickly aroused a burst of envious voices from the surrounding neighbors. The children were even drooling as they hugged their parents' thighs and said.
"Are you exaggerating?" Jia Yapeng muttered in his heart, "I can't wait to have a siheyuan!"
At first, Jia Yapeng didn't understand. But later, he figured it out. He liked the courtyard house, not because it was comfortable, but because it was worth a lot of money. He didn't really like living in the courtyard house.
If Jia Yapeng was really allowed to leave the modern house and live in a traditional courtyard house, he was afraid that within a few days, Jia Yapeng wouldn't be able to stay there anymore.
For the residents of the courtyard house in the capital, the logic was the same. They had long been fed up with the various flaws of the courtyard house. The general trend of the 90's was indeed to respect Western-style buildings. Everyone wanted to live in a building, and a terrible house like the courtyard house was abandoned like a pair of worn-out shoes.
Logically speaking, if it weren't for the fact that the courtyard house occupied the best location in the capital, the courtyard house itself would really be worthless.
"Ah, I like your place. It's so nice. There are so many people living together, and my house is so quiet. There isn't even a neighbor who comes to visit!" Jia Yapeng sighed and said sadly.
"Then the two of us can exchange. You give me your house, and you can live in my courtyard house!" Hearing Jia Yapeng's words, a middle-aged man laughed and said.
"Ha …" Jia Yapeng was stunned. The neighbors on the side couldn't stand it and scolded, "Lao Dong, you are too shameless. Your house leaks every day, and the roof is about to collapse. Together, it's a shabby house of less than 30 square meters. You have the nerve to exchange it with someone else's house. You are shameless!"
"No, he said that he wanted to live in my courtyard house, so I said exchange … It's just a joke, just a joke!" Lao Dong smiled awkwardly. He was also momentarily confused by Jia Yapeng's words. At the same time, he had had enough of that damn small courtyard house. Subconsciously, he followed Jia Yapeng's words and said that he wanted to exchange houses.
Of course, he was just thinking about it. How could he exchange such a good house for his shabby courtyard house?
Just as Lao Dong was about to leave, he suddenly heard Jia Yapeng shout, "Mr. Dong, if you really want to exchange, we can talk about it!"
"Clang …" An iron basket fell to the ground. All the neighbors stared at Jia Yapeng in a daze, especially Old Dong, who was even more shocked.
"Xiao Jia, are you kidding? Are you really willing to exchange with my shabby house?" When Lao Dong spoke, his mouth couldn't close. "Xiao Jia, I want to make it clear to you. My house only has one room, and it has a total of 28 square meters. Once it rains, it leaks, and the roof may collapse at any time. Are you sure you want to exchange your 100-square-meter house with a bathtub and toilet with mine?"
"No problem!" Jia Yapeng nodded readily. "But Uncle Dong, I have to make it clear to you that my house is still some distance away from here. It's about 8 kilometers away. It'll take 20 to 30 minutes to get there by bike. It might be inconvenient for you to work!"
"That's okay. I usually walk to work, and it takes twenty to thirty minutes!" Lao Dong said quickly.
"That's fine. If you are really willing to exchange, I will take you to see the house tomorrow. If you are satisfied with it, we will go to the Housing Management Bureau the day after tomorrow to sign the contract and complete the transfer procedures!" Jia Yapeng laughed.
"Really? Xiao Jia, are you kidding me? Are you really willing to exchange your brand-new house for my shabby old house? "Lao Dong felt that he was still in a dream." Of course.
Anyway, we are exchanging houses, and no one has to pay for it. In addition, we will go directly to the Housing Management Bureau to transfer the ownership. You don't believe me, but you should believe the Housing Management Bureau. All the houses are registered with them, and they also need a property certificate. If we transfer the ownership to them, the house will be changed. How can I cheat you? "Jia Yapeng said happily.
"Well, then I will go to see the house tomorrow. Let's go see the house …" Lao Dong said as he floated back to his house, as if he was stepping on clouds. He didn't sleep the whole night.
"Xiao Jia, are you crazy?" Seeing that Jia Yapeng and Lao Dong had reached an agreement about exchanging houses in an instant, all the neighbors were shocked. They looked at Jia Yapeng as if they were looking at a fool.
A 100-square-meter house was exchanged for a 28-square-meter shabby house. How could this guy make such a decision if he didn't fall on his head?
"Uncles and aunties, don't worry. I am not crazy!" Jia Yapeng said with a smile, "Didn't you say that the 50-square-meter siheyuan was sold for 300,000 yuan? Uncle Dong's 28-square-meter house is worth at least 160,000 or 170,000 yuan. My house was bought for 180,000 yuan. I just lost a little bit!"
"Then you still lost a lot!" An aunty said.
"Yes, I lost a little bit. But consider it as my investment!" Jia Yapeng decided to tell the truth. "Actually, I am optimistic about the future of the siheyuan. I think that in the next ten years, the price of the siheyuan should be able to double. It may be longer than the house, so I decided to exchange it."
"What if it doesn't double?" An aunty asked again.
"Then consider it my loss!" Jia Yapeng spread his hands. "Investment is always risky. It depends on one's vision and luck. I believe in my vision and luck!"
"Then if you exchange the house to Lao Dong, where will you live?" The aunty asked again.
"It's okay. Actually, I made a small fortune recently. I bought more than a dozen houses, all in the Asian Games Village. If I exchange one, I still have more than a dozen houses. I have a place to live!" Jia Yapeng said with a smile. Everyone's eyes widened when they heard him.
This kid actually has more than a dozen houses. Isn't he a millionaire?!
More importantly, could she also ask him to switch houses?
Thinking of this, everyone couldn't help but fall into deep thought.
