Precisely because he was bound to win, Hong Yanwu always persisted and did not give up, even though there were several back-and-forths in the process.
Like the first time we talked, among the four of us, someone said that the price approved by the housing management office was too low and that we had to order more money privately.
Hong Yanwu thought this was the actual situation and nodded happily.
But after the price was agreed upon, someone else suggested that there was a small courtyard behind the building. The land deed included the courtyard, and the open space in the courtyard also had to be paid for.
Hong Yanwu still agreed.
This is because when he was involved in demolition in his previous life, the compensation for a private yard with a deed was indeed calculated in this way, and it was not out of the ordinary.
Unexpectedly, by the third time, these four brothers had new ideas.
If this alone is not enough, why should we give each of them a color TV?
And even though I know that these guys are just greedy, they are a bit jealous.
But Hong Yanwu thought that if he could take down the house as soon as possible, it would still be worth it.
He still agreed.
He even made a wish on the spot in order to stop these guys from thinking about new ideas and sign the contract as soon as possible.
They said that if they could hand over the house deed and go through the transfer procedures within three days, they could negotiate for 26,000 yuan, and they could also pay with foreign exchange certificates.
This cannot be said to be ungenerous or refreshing.
It's a pity, bad habits are all acquired through habit.
Just like the story of "The Fisherman and the Goldfish", no matter how good the conditions are, they will always work for those who don't know how to take advantage of them.
Hong Yanwu was bent on seeking quick results and blindly accommodating others, which actually encouraged the other party's greed.
At this point, you should obviously have gone through the formalities.
But when something happened, these four brothers regretted it again.
They actually made up a baseless excuse, saying that a foreigner was asking about this house and wanted to buy their house for 20,000 US dollars.
This allowed Hong Yanwu to fully understand that for these people, some links really couldn't be avoided, and they had to fight over their own concerns.
So after returning without success this time, he simply ignored them and decided to sink them.
Hey, sure enough, this trick works.
I didn't see any reply from him, but the person on the other side was a little anxious.
A few days later, my brothers urged the intermediary to bring him a message, telling them not to regret leaving this roommate.
And since Hong Yanwu was so scheming and recognized that they were "playing tricks", how could he be willing to give in?
Instead, he played hard to get and asked the middleman to reply that he wanted to buy because he was anxious to use the house.
But after all, my family's financial resources are not as good as those of foreigners, and they cannot afford the 20,000 US dollars.
The other is to use professional knowledge to disparage.
Hong Yanwu also asked a middleman to tell him that their house was actually a trading shop in the past. Not only was it inconvenient for people to live in, the house was also of a different grade than other houses.
Because if there is a serious palace gate, it must have a palace gate, and it must be painted red and green.
The plain black houses without doors can only be private houses.
Not even two days later, Hong Yanwu saw something about the "Ruyi" gate courtyard nearby, and the intermediary revealed it to the four brothers in a "timely" manner.
As a result, with the previously offered prices in mind, the four other brothers became more and more awkward the longer they delayed, and gradually began to lose their composure.
And when it came time for them to start complaining, blaming, and causing chaos among themselves over this matter.
The middleman appeared at the right time and made the final mediation with "good intentions", and after one matchmaking, the final deal was finally reached.
In short, the whole process of taking over this house was too tortuous, with stretching, pressing, and coercion.
It was not easy for Hong Yanwu to achieve what he wanted.
But on the other hand, looking at the actual value of this house, it is really worth it.
Because afterwards, both Mr. Shan and Hong Lucheng applauded the building after seeing it.
Both of them also confirmed a fact that Hong Yanwu never expected.
Fortunately, the wooden building he bought by mistake turned out to be the former site of "Qingyun Building", one of the "Eight Buildings in the Capital" in the Qing Dynasty.
According to Hong Lucheng, this restaurant was built in 1820 by Daoguang of the Qing Dynasty. It was the only one of the eight buildings located in the north of the city at that time.
The "fried spring rolls" and "cup cake" here are very famous.
Moreover, because most of the customers served were princes and princes nearby, this restaurant was particularly particular about the dishes and the construction of the building.
To be honest, if it weren't for the untouchable people around us who sealed off the location, we wouldn't be able to expand in scale.
Otherwise, with its reputation and class, it would be quite qualified to squeeze into the "Eight Great Halls".
However, precisely because its long-term service targets are all Banner people, the business of "Qingyun Tower" is highly dependent on the Qing government.
Therefore, since the fall of the Qing government, business has gone from bad to worse.
Since the establishment of the Nanjing government, it has been completely shut down.
Its position in the "Eight Buildings" was replaced by the rising star "Anfu Building" during the Republic of China.
Mr. Shan also said that although this building looks like a private house, the owner of the store spent a lot of money to build and expand it.
The work of tiles, wood, oil, etc. is all done in a regular and unique way.
On the surface, it seems to be just two floors, but in fact its structural design is much more than that.
For example, the attic with six rooms in the annex building must have been demolished.
There should have been a large terrace and pavilion above the main building, but now they are gone, and the only remaining staircase is also blocked.
This should be related to the owner's lack of financial resources and the state of disrepair.
If it could really be repaired according to the style of that year, it would show the tiled floor inside and the nanmu carved blue gauze cabinet.
There is a dark building above, a stage inside the house, and a pattern of colorfully painted pavilions on the terrace.
This kind of house is more exciting than the pavilions of the royal palace.
The only regret is that the princes and below are reluctant to re-arch the caisson and violate the etiquette system.
This building is restricted on the ceiling, which is incomparable with the palace.
Anyway, no matter how he said it, Hong Yanwu understood that he had indeed picked up the treasure.
So this matter made him really happy. Not only did he happily pay 20,000 yuan as a deposit for this, but he also officially entrusted the rebuilding of "Qingyun Tower" to Mr. Shan's daughter.
Moreover, he had an idea and simply went through Song Guofu's network to register the "Qingyun Tower" brand name, the brand name that his family had used in the past, and the "Longkou" trademark specifically for tourism products.
Come down.
When it comes to the font sizes used by the Hong family, they are really old and young.
There are five buildings in Guangzhuang Pavilion: "Yanqing Hall", "Yanxi Hall", "Yanmei Building" and "Yanxingju".
There are more pastry shops.
"Yanmei Zhai", "Jinlanzhai", "Yanyingzhai", "Yanxiangzhai", "Yanfuzhai", "Yanhuazhai", "Yandezhai" and "Yanningzhai" were once distributed in the capital
All directions.
To be honest, Hong Yanwu himself didn’t know whether such an old brand name would be used in the future.
But he doesn't have to, and he can't let others fool him.
After all, it is the Hong family's signature brand, and if it is allowed to be used by interested outsiders in the future, it will be a small thing for others to take advantage of it.
But if the sign is ruined and people misunderstand it, it would be unfair to blame it on the Hong family.
This is called trademark awareness.
Of course, that means he had a good life today and became a kind person.
He didn't rush to register "Eight Great Halls", "Eight Buildings", "Eight Great Residences" and "Twelve Spring" as his own trademarks.
Otherwise, he would have to stick to his old wolf-like temperament and regard this as a way to make money.
Anyone who wants to use this sign in the future must pay him.
