After chatting with Xia Xingguo for a while, Xia Xingguo took his leave. Xu Lu walked over curiously, her gaze slightly narrowed, and she asked curiously, 'Do you know Xia Xingguo?'
Han Songlin casually said, 'I just met him. Hey, you know him?'
'The head of the Anheng Group is a formidable figure.' Xu Lu really did know Xia Xingguo, she just hadn't spoken to him before.
At this time in China, information was not spread as quickly as it would be in the internet age, but there were still channels for the business world to find out about things.
This was the golden age of domestic magazines.
'How do you know him?'
Xu Lu glanced at Han Songlin and said indifferently, 'I use their products, so I found out about him!'
I see!
You use their products?
Han Songlin's gaze subconsciously fell on Xu Lu's perky buttocks, and then he realised something and quickly averted his gaze.
Xu Lu noticed Han Songlin's gaze and gritted her teeth. Could she not tell what Han Songlin was thinking?
Xu Lu said in a bad mood, 'My period hasn't come!'
'I don't understand what you're saying!'
Xu Lu laughed, not believing Han Songlin's nonsense.
Xu Lu had come to Beijing, so naturally she had to visit the distributors of Fule Wines.
Han Songlin also had things to do, and after arriving in Beijing, he always had to go see Tang Yan and the others.
In the evening, Han Songlin called their dormitory.
In one of the girls' dormitories at Jingcheng University, Tang Yan was just about to say that she was going to lie down with her books.
The dormitory was very warm with the heating on, and compared to the winters in the south, Tang Yan felt that spending the winter in the north was like heaven.
It's so comfortable!
'Yan, it's for you.'
Tang Yan: 'Oh!'
'Hello, this is Tang Yan.'
'It's me!'
'Who's that?' At this point, the sound of the phone call was a little distorted, and just by listening to the voice, it was really hard to tell who it was.
'Han Songlin.'
'Uncle!' Tang Yan was really a little shocked. Usually, Han Songlin would not call on his own initiative and say things like this.
It was Tang Yan who called back.
'I've arrived in the capital. Tomorrow afternoon, come to the courtyard and bring Liu Yang with you. I'll take you all out to dinner.'
Tang Yan glanced at the three people who had pricked up their ears and were eavesdropping, and then turned to Han Songlin and asked, 'Uncle, can I bring my roommates along?'
'Bring them along!'
Han Songlin didn't mind. Students from Jingcheng University were very capable these days.
Can you get into university just by cramming?
That's belittling people.
Some people play all day long, and you don't see them studying. But no matter how hard you try, you can't catch up. Isn't that infuriating?
Tang Yan hung up the phone and looked at her three roommates with a smile on her face. She got along quite well with her three roommates.
'I'll take you to see a handsome guy tomorrow. Do you want to go?'
'Hey, if a handsome guy can be noticed by our Tang Yan, we must go and see for ourselves.'
'Haha, I definitely won't let you down.'
'Will Liu Yang go?'
Tang Yan looked at Wu Xiaoli. During the National Day holiday, everyone had stayed in the capital instead of going home. At that time, inter-provincial transport in China basically relied on trains, and as for planes, very few people could afford them.
Tang Yan had arranged to go to the courtyard with her roommate to hang out, and then she met Liu Yang.
Wu Xiaoli immediately took a fancy to Liu Yang and often asked Tang Yan for information about him.
She also called Liu Yang's dormitory quite often, but Liu Yang was either insensitive or something, as if he didn't know Wu Xiaoli was calling.
'Oh, that's right, I need to give him a call.'
She said, and then she called Liu Yang's dormitory. At that moment, in Liu Yang's dormitory, several people were coding in front of the computer.
'Liu Yang, Tang Yan is looking for you!'
Liu Yang got up and answered the phone: 'Hello, this is Liu Yang.'
'Uncle is coming to the capital, let's have dinner together tomorrow. After the afternoon class, meet at the courtyard house.'
Liu Yang's face brightened. He had not seen Han Songlin for a long time since he went to the capital in July.
'Has my sister come yet?'
'I don't think so.'
'Okay, I'll go over after my afternoon class tomorrow.'
'Okay, see you tomorrow.'
Xu Lu turned the TV volume down a little and laughed, 'This courtyard house is quite nice, I'd like to buy one in Beijing.'
Han Songlin said, "You're right, you've reminded me. Courtyard houses in Beijing are a scarce resource, and if you buy a few to keep, they'll definitely be worth more than the market price in ten or twenty years" time.'
The reason why there is a price but no market is that the price is too high and no one will buy it.
For a courtyard house of 60-70 square meters, the asking price is 50 million yuan. Who is crazy enough to buy it?
If you have that kind of money, you might as well buy a villa or something.
Of course, this courtyard house is the kind of ordinary residential building. The future price will be very expensive, but it will be difficult to realise the value.
Even if you are worth tens of millions of yuan, you can only live a normal life.
Nowadays, there are quite a few courtyard houses of several hundred square metres. If you buy them, buy a few more, and wait a few years, you will become the richest person in the capital city.
Xu Lu: 'My dear boss, you don't really want to buy a courtyard house, do you?'
Zhou Tong's courtyard house is definitely considered a boutique among courtyard houses. After Zhou Tong's careful renovation, the people living around him are also people of great wealth.
'Why not? We'll have to ask Zhang Yue about this.' In the capital, Zhang Yue is the only person she knows well.
Xu Lu: 'Then tomorrow, I'll go with Zhang Yue to look around and see if there's anything suitable, and just take it.'
Xu Lu now has quite a lot of money too, but it's no use just leaving it in the bank, so she'll invest it.
As for what to invest in, Xu Lu doesn't want to rack her brains over it, so she'll just listen to Han Songlin, and she can't go wrong.
The boss's vision must be admittedly very strong.
'If you see something you like, you can just take it down.'
Xu Lu: 'Boss, how much money can you afford to spend? Why don't we just buy the whole thing?'
You can't even say that.
But it seems like you really could do that.
At that time, people didn't have a strong sense of protecting the Beijing courtyards. From 1990, Beijing began a large-scale old city reconstruction, and a large number of courtyards were demolished at this time.
So courtyards and the like really aren't worth much.
Before and after, it's because rarity makes things precious.
'Just buy a few exquisite courtyards, and don't even mention buying them in bulk, let alone buying the whole city!'
Xu Lu shrugged: 'If I had that kind of money, I would buy the whole city.'
'In the future, when it comes to bragging, I will only respect you!' Han Songlin had to give Xu Lu a thumbs up. Buying the whole city? Why didn't you say so? The moon is yours.
Xu Lu smiled and said, 'I learned from you.'
Han Songlin was speechless. When had he ever bragged?
What I said will eventually come true, so how can you say that I'm bragging?
The next day, it was still early in the morning when Han Songlin slowly got up. He glanced at the open door of the other bedroom and saw that Xu Lu had already left the house.
She really went to see the courtyard!
