The first meeting of the Liu Group was a complete success. The leaders of each branch and factory saw the determination of the group. It was no longer possible to hang around like before. How to keep their positions has become their current goal.
First priority, no other choice.
Liu Jian has been with Li Li for several days during this period. Compared with other women, Li Li's mature charm is very attractive to Liu Jian. In addition, she is gentle and amiable, which makes Liu Jian, who is anxious during this period, very attractive.
Jian was a good comfort, so Liu Jian stayed with Li Li for almost a week. If the Hangzhou branch hadn't remembered to ask Li Li to go back, Liu Jian would have let Li Li go with great reluctance.
The group company began to really operate, and Liu Jian's work was much more leisurely than when the company was newly established, because every branch was trying to find ways to improve performance, and there was no time to come here to argue and report on work. This also reached Liu Jian's point.
How could he stand it if he was always so busy for the purpose of fitness?
After lingering with Bai Wei that day, Liu Jian remembered that Bai Wei had not graduated yet, and asked strangely: "Xiao Wei, don't you need to go back to school?"
Bai Wei shook her head lazily and said, "What are you going to do? I'm currently in the internship stage. I just need to write a thesis and complete the graduation defense before graduation."
"Oh, that's it, so your graduation is fine." Liu Jian asked.
Bai Wei asked in confusion: "Boss, why are you asking this?"
Liu Jian smiled and said, "Nothing, Xiaowei, how many students like you are there in Beijing? Are there many who can't find jobs?"
Liu Jian had no choice. The group company's talent gap was too big. Liu Jian planned to recruit in a centralized recruitment, but Liu Jian had not decided whether to recruit in Changchun or Beijing.
Bai Wei guessed what Liu Jian was thinking, shook her head and said, "Boss, you don't have to play with their ideas. They would rather starve to death in Beijing than come to work here. Our city is too small."
Liu Jian naturally understands this truth, but he is still unwilling to give up. After all, there is still a shortage of people. The only way to change this situation is to introduce a large number of talents. And the places with the most talents in the country are naturally Beijing, Changchun and Beijing.
It's not even a tiny bit worse than that.
After thinking about it, Liu Jian decided to go to Beijing to try and said: "Xiaowei, pack your things, let's go to Beijing to recruit people. I don't believe we can't recruit people."
Bai Wei nodded without trying to persuade her. After all, Liu Jian was the boss, and she still had to listen to Liu Jian.
Hearing that Liu Jian was going to Beijing to recruit talents, Liu Fu didn't think it would be effective. However, considering that Liu Jian was so confident, Liu Fu couldn't say anything. Anyway, the company had nothing to do now, so let him go
It doesn’t matter if you try it, wouldn’t it be better if you succeed?
On the contrary, Liu's mother was noncommittal about Liu Jian's behavior. Seeing Liu Jian taking his little secretary to Beijing, Liu's mother suspected that the recruitment was fake and that the trip was real.
When I went back to talk to Liu Fu in the evening, Liu Fu was also a little hesitant. Xiao Jian couldn't be so dishonest, right? He was busy doing things in the company, and Xiao Jian would still go out to play? But he couldn't talk about things he had already agreed to, and
There is a reason for everything Liu Jian does. Even if you can't see it at the time, you will find it later and learn from Liu Jian's plan this time.
It's a pity that Liu Fu guessed wrong. Liu Jian was just bored and wanted to go out for a walk. Changchun was too close and there was nothing to go around. Beijing still had a certain attraction for Liu Jian. It would be nice to go and see it. It's time to relax, and if he encounters a good talent, Liu Jian will not turn over.
Liu Jian drove Bai Wei to Beijing. When Liu Fu and his wife came out, Liu Jian did not notify anyone. Even when passing through Shenyang, Liu Jian did not go to see Ren Shanshan.
Liu Jian saw it very slowly this time. It was already dark at night, so he ran to Shanhaiguan. Shanhaiguan at night was spectacular. If it hadn't been dark, Liu Jian would have climbed up to Shanhaiguan to have a look.
As soon as it got light the next day, Liu Jian dragged the confused Li Li up to Shanhaiguan Pass. There were people everywhere in Shanhaiguan Pass in the morning. When Liu Jian asked, he learned that those who climbed up Shanhaiguan Pass in the morning were all locals. They climbed up to Shanhaiguan Pass every day. They all got up early to exercise and climb the mountain customs, because there was no admission fee during this period. Although he didn't care about the dozens of dollars in tickets, Liu Jian was still happy to have the opportunity to take advantage.
Bai Wei didn't expect that Liu Jian could be so happy for just a few dozen yuan. Liu Jian's stinginess really hit him hard. This kind of person should be struck by lightning, Bai Wei thought bitterly.
At noon, Audi entered Beijing. Tian Dan originally thought that Liu Jian would go back to find a hotel, but he did not expect that Liu Jian drove straight to the Palace Museum.
Bai Wei asked in confusion: "Boss, don't we find a place to live first?"
Liu Jian shook his head and said: "Don't worry, I remembered that there are many courtyard houses for sale in Beijing at this time, and I want to buy one directly to save myself from having to stay in a hotel every time I come!"
"Ah, then there's no need to buy a courtyard house. Wouldn't it be enough to just buy a building?" Bai Wei asked doubtfully.
"You don't understand this. Buying a courtyard house is not only a place to live, but also an investment. Beijing is developing everywhere now, and the courtyard houses are completely destroyed. If you can buy one at this time, you will do nothing in the future. , the rent collected is enough for living expenses.”
Liu Jian explained. Thinking that a courtyard house in later generations would cost millions, tens of millions, or hundreds of millions, Liu Jian became jealous.
It's not that Liu Jian has never thought about taking all the funds he has on hand to buy a courtyard house in Beijing, and after five or six years, he can double it several times or dozens of times.
But after thinking about it for a long time, I still gave up this idea. I thought that I am not the only one who wants to increase the price of courtyard houses. There may be a lot of hot money already eyeing this area. I will follow Dongfeng and make a small profit. But if there is a large amount of speculation, I am afraid it will block other people's financial opportunities, and then they will have their own consequences.
After all, Liu Jian has no backing, and all developments are based on foresight. The risk is still not worth the trouble, so Liu Jian never mentioned this plan.
However, when making this plan, Liu Jian met and learned about the courtyard houses in Beijing. Behind the Forbidden City, there is an old street, which is basically full of courtyard houses. Liu Jian paid attention to this place because it has been visited many times. After many twists and turns, it was never developed, and in the end it became one of the few remaining streets of courtyard houses in Beijing. The housing prices here also soared to hundreds of thousands per square meter in previous lives, making it the most expensive bungalow in Beijing.
Liu Jian knew that at this time, no one would have thought that this inconspicuous street would become a tourist attraction in Beijing. In the future, countless people would pay money just to visit the courtyard houses and understand the life of old Beijingers, so Liu Jian
I decided to start quickly, so I went straight here when I came to Beijing.
Beijing Siheyuan is a type of courtyard building. The so-called courtyard is a courtyard with houses built on all sides. A quadrangle house has a courtyard in the center, which is the courtyard.
Wealthy families can be extravagant and build three or four courtyards, which are connected from front to back. They can plant flowers, fruits and trees in the courtyards for viewing.
The large courtyard is surrounded by walls from the outside, with tall walls and no windows, showing a defensive nature.
The whole family is in the courtyard. The people living in the courtyard are very comfortable. The door is closed at night and it is very quiet. It is suitable for a family-centered reunion life.
During the day, the flowers, plants and trees in the courtyard are very beautiful. At night, the flowers are fragrant and the air is fresh. At night, the family sits in the courtyard to enjoy the shade, rest, chat, drink tea, and have fun as a family. No matter what the family does in the courtyard, no outsiders can see it.
, which is in line with Chinese people’s habits.
The most representative residential building in the Qing Dynasty is the palace-style house, which is the large and medium-sized courtyard house where bureaucrats, landlords, and wealthy businessmen lived. It can also be said that the Qing Dynasty was the peak period of the development of Beijing courtyard house.
Since the late Qing Dynasty, China has gradually become a semi-feudal and semi-colonial society, and the development of Beijing courtyard houses has also begun to gradually decline.
The Japanese invasion of China caused great changes in Chinese society. The economic situation of the citizens went from bad to worse. Many residents who originally lived in detached houses were no longer able to afford more houses, so they had to rent out their excess houses and use the rent to supplement their living expenses.
There are fewer and fewer houses for residents, and there are more and more tenants in the courtyards. The single-family courtyards have begun to turn into large courtyards with mixed households, and the living nature of the courtyards has changed.
After the founding of the People's Republic of China, there have been fundamental changes in the use of Beijing's traditional courtyard houses.
Due to changes in ownership, many royal palaces and residences left over from the Qing Dynasty were transformed from private property to public property. They were no longer occupied by the nobility of the past, but instead became state agencies, schools, hospitals, factories, kindergartens, clubs and other public housing.
Changes in use functions have created an insurmountable conflict between the building itself and the needs of users. The final result is not that people obey the building, but that the building is transformed by people.
Those courtyards that are still used for residential purposes are no longer exclusively occupied and have become "large courtyards" where multiple families live. These changes in use have made it difficult for the courtyards to maintain their former depth, tranquility, elegance and warmth. The courtyards have been divided.
Transformation and partition have become common phenomena. Here they come.
Driving into the alley, Liu Jian saw many courtyard houses. Many families lived in each courtyard. In fact, the property rights of these houses often belong to individuals, but special times have created unique courtyard houses, many of which are unique.
Families do not have the right to live in, so they do not pay rent, or pay less rent. Some of them even have their own buildings, but just to take advantage of such a small advantage, one by one they would rather rent out the buildings.
They were crowded in the small courtyard and refused to move.
It is naturally difficult for Liu Jian to understand this kind of thinking, but his goal is to buy a house, so when he sees the small courtyard full of people, Liu Jian will turn away and continue to look at the next house.
After walking to many houses in succession, when he was almost at the end of the alley, Liu Jian found a for sale sign on the door. Liu Jian stopped the car, happily pulled Bai Wei forward and knocked on the door.
The door was opened by a gray-haired old man. When he saw Liu Jian and Bai Wei, a pair of young men, he thought they were here to rent a house, so he said: "Young man, you are looking for the wrong house. I don't rent houses here!"
Liu Jian smiled and said: "Old man, we are not here to rent a house."
"Then what are you here for?" the old man asked.
"I'm here to buy a house. I saw the advertisement you posted and wanted to come in and take a look. If there are no problems, I will buy it."
Liu Jian didn't hide anything. It's better to tell the truth at this time. Looking at the expression of this old man, you can tell that this is a man who is eager to use money. As expected, when he said this, the old man's eyes lit up, and then he saw Liu Jian open his eyes.
Audi, who felt much more relaxed, said with his hands, "My surname is Huang, you can come in first."
Liu Jian smiled, took Bai Wei's hand and entered the room. The things placed in the room were all old objects. From this, it can be seen that Mr. Huang is not an ordinary person.
After looking around inside, Liu Jian was very satisfied. Although it was an old man's house, it was well maintained and did not require major repairs before he could move in. Moreover, the whole house was divided into front and rear yards, and the yard at the back was still
With a small garden, this is the courtyard house in old Beijing. It was built so luxuriously. I think this house was also the residence of a high-ranking official.
Returning to the front hall, Liu Jiancai asked: "Uncle Huang, does this courtyard belong to you personally?"
Uncle Huang nodded and said: "Yes, I am also an old Beijinger. My whole family lived here back then. Decades have passed and they have all left. I am the only one left."
Liu Jian asked a little strangely: "Uncle Huang, why did you sell the house? Where will you live after buying it?"
It's not that Liu Jian cares much about Uncle Huang's affairs, but that Liu Jian is afraid of any trouble in the future. If there is another owner of this house, Liu Jian will be in trouble if he buys it.
Uncle Huang said with a wry smile: "It's not just for my little grandson. My son works in Shanghai and can't come back several times a year. After he gave me a little grandson last year, he has no time to come back. My son picks up
I went to Shanghai, but I couldn’t let go of this old house or my neighbors. Who would have thought that this year my son’s job would be transferred abroad. If I didn’t follow him, I’d be afraid that I wouldn’t be able to see my son in the next few years.
I have a little grandson. I have no choice but to sell this house to get some money so that I can live a better life abroad."
Hearing what Uncle Huang said, Liu Jian believed it a little, so he asked: "Uncle Huang, I wonder what price you plan to sell it for? If it is suitable, I will buy it."
Uncle Huang was happy at first, and then hesitant. Looking at the old house, he was obviously reluctant to part with it. Liu Jian didn't urge him. After all, this kind of thing couldn't be done reluctantly. If he wanted to sell it, Uncle Huang would naturally do it.
Uncle Huang hesitated for a long time and then said: "It will cost at least 1.2 million. I went to find out. If I rent out this house, I can get 50,000 to 60,000 a year. If I sell it, it will cost me at least the next two years."
Ten years of living expenses, sell it."
The price of 1.2 million was beyond Liu Jian's expectation. It was not high but ridiculously low. Buying a building in Beijing now costs 300,000 to 400,000. A courtyard house can be exchanged for at least five to six residential buildings.
In other words, it will cost at least two million. It seems that Uncle Huang does not know the real estate market very well.
Liu Jian couldn't wait to agree, but he was afraid of arousing Uncle Huang's suspicion, so he said: "Uncle Huang, the price is a bit high, but Uncle Huang, you are also eager to use the money, so you want the furniture and furnishings in this house."
Keep them all for me. I think they are all old things and they are worth a lot of money."
Uncle Huang was a little hesitant. He had used these furniture and utensils for many years and he was reluctant to part with them.
Bai Wei saw Uncle Huang's hesitation and said: "Uncle Huang, you are going abroad anyway, so it's useless to ask for these things. If you sell them to others, they won't sell for much. We still have to go out to buy them, so why don't you just give them to us?
, we didn’t counter-offer the house, but you actually took advantage of it.”
Uncle Huang thought for a moment that it was indeed the case. After hesitating for a long time, he agreed.
Seeing that Uncle Huang agreed, Liu Jian asked Uncle Huang to take the procedures. They went to the street to go through the procedures. After all, it involved a courtyard house. Liu Jian didn't want to make any mistakes. The streets have procedures for these houses. Is it Uncle Huang's house?
, you can confirm it there, and you can avoid a lot of trouble when doing transactions on the street. It will also be a lot more convenient when transferring ownership in the future.
People in the subdistrict office were surprised to hear that someone was buying a courtyard house. With this idea, more people bought houses than bungalows. What's more, spending more than one million to buy a bungalow, it would be nice if they didn't regard Liu Jian as mentally ill.
The procedure is actually very cumbersome. If Uncle Huang had not lived here for decades and knew everyone in the street, and the street also helped, it would have been impossible to complete it in one or two days. Even so, it took three days.
Only after the formalities were completed, the owner of this courtyard house actually changed.
Uncle Huang reluctantly left the house. What he missed was the old neighbor and the used things at home. In fact, Uncle Huang was very satisfied with the price. It was also a high price at the time. Unfortunately, less than ten years later, the house was turned upside down.
Dozens of times, and by 2008, it was worth hundreds of millions, which was beyond his expectation.
