Chapter 179 What? The messy Dongnei area? Is he kidding? Actually, we don't have any houses there .
Qin Guan knew what he was thinking about . To suppress his doubts, he added in his most elegant and imposing manner, "I know your rules . Your company will deduct from the customers, and your bonus will be influenced . My business is bigger than you can imagine though . " Qin Guan crossed his legs gracefully and supported his hands on his knees . He lay back against the couch and threw a bomb at the young man . "According to the current prices of the area, it would cost 3,500 to 4,000 yuan per square meter . Most of the houses there are low buildings, 30 to 50 square meters each . That would be about 100,000 to 200,000 yuan per house . You can get only five per thousand as a bonus . Of course you’d look down upon such a small amount . I have a lot of money though . If you can find me houses in that area…" Qin Guan drew a circle on the map . "I’ll buy them all!" "What?" The young man pulled his chair towards the table and picked up the map . He glanced at it, his hands trembling as if he was having a stroke .
"Really? Don’t mess with me, bro!" He was excited enough to speak in his hometown accent . "I’m not lying . Call me when you have two or three . If you can find enough for me, I’ll give you a bonus myself . " The young man was so excited that he was already planning on pasting advertisements around the area . If there was no information on the database, he would look for houses himself . He was familiar with the neighborhood committee . After leaving the warm young man, Qin Guan let out a long sigh . The advantage of entrusting the agent was his professional integrity . He wouldn’t ask any questions about why he was purchasing those houses . It would be a good choice for the residents to sell their houses to him . They’d have to wait a long time before moving otherwise . If they could buy another house in a taller building with that sum, they wouldn't suffer any losses . Qin Guan considered himself a kind man . Of course, he hoped the residents would not regret this after a couple of years .
Qin Guan didn’t stop . He headed to Legation Street to purchase more houses . The properties on sale there would not increase in value though . The history of Legation Street could be dated back to the establishment of the capital of the Ming Dynasty . It was actually the largest business street of that dynasty . Businessmen came together in crowds in that flourishing area . During the Qin Dynasty, the Ministry of Employment, the National Academy, and the Supervisorate of Imperial Instruction had all been located there . Some princes, dukes and ministers had also built their mansions there, such as the Su Mansion, the Zhenguo Duke Mansion, the Grand Secretary Mansion, and so on . In the 1990s, the street had been recognized as a historical area by the government . Residents could sell or rent their houses out, but it was impossible for them to get a fortune by moving . Qin Guan bought those houses for sentimental reasons . He had always loved that street very much, both in that life and his past one . Before the foundation of PRC, the street had been called the Legation Quarter . After 1900, 11 states had built embassies there, and the street had become a leased territory . The page was turned over after 1949, when the foreign military camps and banks were gone . There were many tall buildings built then . The changes on that street represented the changes of several eras . Legation Street had witnessed all history . The value of the street was not just historical, but also artistic . The area was beautiful, with towering ancient trees . Compared to the sheds at Dongnei, the houses there were like royalty . Most of them were quadrangle dwellings compete in all aspects .
The first real estate agent Qin Guan visited had the property he wanted . He was aware of the shortcomings of quadrangle dwellings . Unlike purchasing a house in a tall building, the structure of a quadrangle dwelling deserved particular care . Quadrangle dwellings had a yard surrounded by houses . A rich or big family could build two quadrangle dwellings, connected from front to back . High-ranking officials or rich businessmen could build three or four quadrangle dwellings linked together, with flowers planted between them for decoration .
A small quadrangle dwelling could be composed by 13 rooms, while larger ones had 30 chambers . If there was another quadrangle dwelling joined together, there had to be around 25 to 40 rooms . None of this was important though . Frankly, no one bought a quadrangle dwelling for its living area, but for the floor space . It was a big trick . Qin Guan had lived in a small quadrangle dwelling of 13 rooms, with a living area of more than 200 square metres . The floor space was about 400 square meters though . The price was 20,000 per square metre, which was far more than Qin Guan could afford . The agent did not see Qin Guan as a potential customer at first, and Qin Guan's expression confirmed his impression . Qin Guan went out, feeling like weeping . It was a starry night . The revolution was not yet successful . The comrades still had to work hard . Qin Guan watched the busy Chang’an street, falling into deep thought . After a few years, the sum in my account will not be enough for me to afford even a small apartment here . How will I talk about feelings then? Determined, Qin Guan rushed to the set of "Graceful Princess" . Sister Xue met him there and found the assistant director, who was in charge of the casting . They were let in . The show was a period drama narrating a story during the North Song Dynasty (960-1127) . Qin Guan auditioned for a supporting role .
