Sun Weihong and Charlie also came out and began to wander around the yard. It was obvious that Sun Weihong was very satisfied with the place.
Nowadays, there are many factories around Hengshan Road, which are noisy, dusty and very polluting.
For ordinary people, this place is very good and it is the city center. But for Sun Dahai and Charlie, the current situation here is not very suitable for living.
What Sun Dahai really likes is Hengshan Road, which has lost its commercial character decades later.
The tall French plane trees on both sides of the road reflect the dappled sunlight. The carefully carved buildings of various Chinese and foreign styles compete with each other for their beauty.
Hengshan Road is surrounded by lively and bustling streets and many new commercial centers, which are crowded with people and busy with traffic.
This is the real tranquility in the midst of movement, a top-notch urban central residential area that is hard to find.
If you think too far, this will all happen in the future.
Sun Dahai turned his attention to the simple building again.
He asked the designer just now. The simple building is 25 meters wide and more than nine meters deep. It is divided into two floors and has a usable area of less than 500 square meters.
Because when the simple building was built at that time, it was just to house the residents, so the main body of the building was still very strong. There was only a large frame in the building, which was a load-bearing wall, and the rest were pigeon holes separated by wooden boards.
Sun Dahai went over to chat with the designer for a while, and then he learned that their company had built this building ten years ago, and they had archived all relevant construction information.
Sun Dahai quickly asked the designer if the roof of the building could be used as a large terrace?
The designer told Sun Dahai that the simple building drawings and specifications used at that time could build a three-story building, but the surrounding buildings were all two-story, so there was no additional building.
As a large open-air platform, the roof has no problem in terms of load-bearing. In fact, during the hottest summer every year, many residents in the building take their mats and sleep on the roof at night.
Sun Weihong and Charlie came out. Sun Dahai thanked the designer, got in the car with them, and returned to the Peace Hotel.
Back at the hotel, they went directly to the Dragon and Phoenix Hall on the eighth floor, where Mrs. Charlie had already made a reservation, and they were going to treat Sun Dahai and Sun Weihong to dinner at noon.
Longfeng Hall specializes in Jiangsu and Zhejiang cuisine, which is characterized by careful selection of ingredients, fine preparation, freshness and tenderness, and emphasis on original flavor. Since it is located in Shanghai, it has also added some signature dishes from the local cuisine.
There were only four of Sun Dahai and the others dining, so they ordered a few side dishes and everyone chatted while eating.
What everyone wants to talk about most is definitely the house.
Sun Dahai made no secret of her love for this house. After confirming her idea to Sun Weihong, Sun Dahai decided to buy it and asked Charlie and his wife to make an offer.
Charlie and his wife have already discussed it. They bid 150,000 U.S. dollars, which is equivalent to 100 U.S. dollars per square meter. They hope to pay in U.S. dollars.
The private housing traded on the black market in Shanghai is now about 75 yuan per square meter, which is slightly more expensive than in the capital, where the price is 60 to 70 yuan per square meter.
Considering that the main body of the villa is intact, and the housing management bureau allows you to change the name and register it directly, the price is still very reasonable.
Without saying a word, Sun Dahai winked at Sun Weihong, and the two of them picked up their drink glasses and clinked them directly with Charlie and his wife.
Sun Dahai said: "Okay, we accept this price, let's make a deal. After dinner, we will draft an agreement and sign it in a while while my aunt is here. Do you think, when can the formalities be completed?"
Charlie and his wife did not expect that Sun Dahai would decide so quickly.
Charlie said: "As long as it is during working hours, the procedures can be completed at any time. If you are in a hurry, we can go to the Housing Authority to handle it in the afternoon."
Sun Dahai said, "My aunt has something to do in the afternoon, so I can't go today. Let's do it tomorrow morning. Aunt, are you free tomorrow morning?"
"I have time." Sun Weihong replied.
"Mr. Charlie, let's decide to meet in the lobby at eight o'clock tomorrow morning and let's go through the formalities together."
Everyone ate the meal absent-mindedly, except for Sun Dahai, who didn't care and ate a lot until his stomach was full, and then he put down his chopsticks.
Drafting an agreement is very simple. It is actually a gentleman's agreement. If someone really wants to break the contract, they will probably break the contract. Only God knows how much legal effect this piece of paper has.
However, Sun Dahai, Sun Weihong and Charlie and his wife are not like that. They really want to make a deal.
So, at the dining table in the Dragon and Phoenix Hall on the eighth floor of the Peace Hotel, Sun Weihong and Charlie and his wife signed a transfer agreement regarding the house and land deed on Hengshan Road.
After the agreement was signed, Sun Dahai was ready to pay. Charlie and his wife did not have an account in Xiangjiang, so cross-border transfers were troublesome.
Sun Dahai had an idea. Sheng Zhiwen must have an account in Maple Leaf Country. Wouldn't it be much easier to ask him to transfer money?
Sun Dahai expressed his idea to Charlie and his wife, and they also thought it was more convenient.
So they went upstairs together to Sun Dahai's room. Sun Dahai called Xiangjiang and successfully found Sheng Zhiwen at Lan Kwai Fong Development Company.
He told Sheng Zhiwen about the situation and asked him to use his account in Maple Leaf Kingdom to transfer US$150,000 to Charlie and his wife. Sun Dahai used the phone to transfer money from Sun Weihong's (anonymous) account to Sheng Zhiwen Xiangjiang.
's account.
For Sheng Zhiwen, this was just a piece of cake. He also briefly reported to Sun Dahai on the progress of the development company's work before hanging up the phone.
Everything was done and they were waiting for them to re-register tomorrow. Charlie and his wife left the house deed and land deed to Sun Weihong and went back to their room.
Sun Weihong stupidly hugged the house deed. It was as simple as this. It was already hers?
Sun Dahai quickly reminded her: "Auntie, don't you have a meeting this afternoon? If you don't leave, we might as well go to the Housing Authority now."
Only then did Sun Weihong wake up. She thought about it and decided to leave the property deed with Sun Dahai and go back to school for a meeting.
Sun Dahai stopped Sun Weihong who was about to leave. He called the service desk and asked the driver to wait at the door of the hotel, and then accompanied Sun Weihong downstairs.
"Auntie, don't forget this afternoon. You must issue a household registration certificate at school, otherwise we won't be able to go through the procedures tomorrow."
Sun Dahai gave Sun Weihong many instructions, fearing that she would be overly excited and forget about issuing the certificate.
In 1982, there was no resident ID card, so to get things done, you could only rely on your household registration book and a letter of introduction.
Sun Weihong's current identity is a graduate student. Her household registration has been transferred from her home. She now belongs to a collective household and lives in Danfu University.
If she wants to do something now, she must get an account certificate from the school, a letter of introduction, and her student ID card.
Arriving at the front door of the hotel, Sun Dahai asked the driver to take her directly back to school. Since the car was rented for the whole day, she didn't mind making the extra trip.
Sun Dahai inquired and found out that the house on Hengshan Road is fifteen kilometers away from Danfu University. If you take the bus, you need to transfer once, which is about an hour away.
In the 1980s, the roads in Shanghai were not very congested. It was still very convenient for Sun Weihong to live on campus and return to Hengshan Road on weekends or holidays.
As for when she gets a job in the future, Sun Dahai will definitely encourage Sun Weihong to learn to drive. Otherwise, wouldn't the two garages in the villa be wasted?
Wasteful behavior is shameful, Sun Dahai is not that kind of person~!
