On Friday afternoon, Sun Weiguo, Cao Yong and Sun Dahai were walking on the way to the old house.
"Xiaoyong, you made a call this morning. What did Xiangjiang say?"
"My uncle had never thought of those things before. Once I explained our analysis to him, he understood. He asked me to thank you for reminding me, otherwise, the funds may be trapped. My uncle said
, after the Chinese New Year, he will start selling real estate. He currently has hundreds of thousands of dollars in cash, so he can give us half a million dollars first. I have already found a lawyer to help register an investment company in Xiangjiang and open an account.
, when everything is completed, we will first transfer 500,000 US dollars to the account. The company name is tentatively named 'Sun's Investment Company', and you can change it at any time if you are not satisfied."
"Uncle Xiaoyong, you are a lawyer, why do you need to find another lawyer?" Sun Dahai was more curious.
"Lawyers in Xiangjiang are divided into two types: barristers and solicitors, but they are not divided into different levels. They just have different tasks. I am a barrister, and my business is relatively specialized. I mainly defend my clients in court. Barristers
We have the right to speak in courts at all levels and the Supreme Court, so we are also called court lawyers. In addition, we can also draft legal documents or provide legal opinions. Solicitors have a wide range of business, mainly dealing with daily legal matters, such as property
Conveyancing, probate, matrimonial disputes, legal proceedings and acting as legal advisers. Solicitors can also defend clients in court but cannot speak before the Supreme Court.”
Talking and laughing along the way, the three people arrived at the door of the old house. At this time, several people were already waiting for them outside the gate.
"Director Sun, you are here." The staff member responsible for processing the Sun family's application rushed a few steps forward and shook hands with Sun Weiguo. "Let me introduce to you, this is deputy leader Feng of our working group, and this is my colleague
Xiao Liu, this is Comrade Landlord, the landlord of the yard next to your house."
When Sun Dahai walked over, he was paying attention to Comrade Lang. The people in the work group were easy to distinguish. They were all wearing Mao Zedong suits or old military uniforms with overcoats. Comrade Lang was in his early thirties and looked thin and small.
, with a dark complexion and thick calluses on his hands, he seemed to have suffered a lot when he went to the countryside for rehabilitation. He was wearing a cotton jacket and cotton trousers, carrying an old khaki satchel on his back, and holding a book in his hand.
English-Chinese dictionary, seize the time to memorize words.
After a few people shook hands and exchanged greetings, they walked into the courtyard together. The moment he entered the door, Sun Weiguo paused. After fifteen years, he finally walked into the courtyard where he was born and raised. He was so excited that he
His body couldn't help but tremble. Cao Yong quickly stepped forward to help Sun Weiguo. He also lived here since he was a child until he left the capital. When Cao Yong came here again, he was also filled with emotion.
Sun Dahai didn't have so many feelings. He was born after the Sun family left the old house. Entering the yard, Sun Dahai wandered around.
What a big courtyard! The courtyard gate is opened at Sunda, which is the east corner of the courtyard due south. Sun Dahai estimated that the courtyard is about 40 meters long and 25 meters wide. There is no separation, and there are rows on all sides.
There are several rooms surrounding the large open space in the middle. There are several trees in the corners of the open space, and some tables, chairs and furniture are piled randomly in the middle. I don’t know how long they have been there, but they have been exposed to the sun and rain and are no longer in shape.
Sun Dahai went in and looked at each house. There were three main rooms, two wing rooms in the north, and five east and west wing rooms. The main room and the wing rooms were more than one meter away from the courtyard wall, so they all had windows on both sides, providing privacy and security.
The lighting is very good. The east wing may be a dormitory, with a big shop inside, and the house in the west wing is an office. The south wing is connected to the courtyard wall, and only the north side has doors and windows for lighting and ventilation. The upside-down room
It is divided into two parts by the gate. To the east of the gate is the kitchen, to the west is the concierge, canteen, boiler room, and a storage room with a cellar. To the west is the bathroom with an inner bath and an outer toilet. There are two rooms for men and women.
On the walls inside and outside the house, there are messy stickers saying, "Stealing is justified, robbing is not guilty, long live the revolutionary bandit spirit!", "The more knowledge you have, the more reactionary you become", "The east wind blows, the war drums beat, who in the world is it?"
Who are we afraid of? It’s not that the people are afraid of American imperialism, but that American imperialism is afraid of the people.” etc. were all slogans of that special period.
Sun Dahai was born in 1973. Not long after he remembered it, the turmoil ended. These slogans were relatively new and interesting to Sun Dahai. He read them one by one and was very happy.
Sun Weiguo and the others looked at the house and found an office with tables and chairs in the west wing. Under the organization of Deputy Team Leader Feng, they started negotiations.
Sun Weiguo was excited, and when he saw that his yard had been changed beyond recognition, he was heartbroken, so Cao Yong came forward to talk about it.
The negotiation went smoothly, and Comrade Lang didn't care too much. He voluntarily gave up the main house and took all five east wing rooms, three west wing rooms, and the kitchen in the reverse room. The Sun family got all the north wing rooms.
room, two west wing rooms, as well as the dining hall, concierge and storage room in the reverse room.
Generally speaking, the two families get about the same amount, so there is no argument that one is taking advantage and the other is losing. There are two bathrooms, which are equally divided, and the boiler room is shared by both families.
After the two families negotiated, Team Leader Feng offered them compensation, which was no different from what Sun Dahai knew in his previous life.
At this time, Cao Yong made some detailed requests to Team Leader Feng. No one noticed that the boiler used here was a relatively advanced automatic electric furnace at the time, which was used for both heating and water supply. For this reason, the Revolutionary Committee at that time,
A 380-volt industrial power line was also installed.
In his previous life, Sun Dahai had never enjoyed this electric stove at all. Because he did not pay attention to this detail at that time, he repaired the house after he got it. After spring, the whole family moved in. In winter, when the boiler was needed to heat the house,
Only then did I discover that industrial electricity had been stopped. It was very troublesome for individuals to apply for industrial electricity at that time. Going through the procedures would make me vomit blood. Sun Weiguo, who was not short of money, simply found a relationship and bought a new coal-fired boiler.
The house is now heated.
Coal-burning stoves require someone to keep an eye on the coal-filler day and night, so in winter, the Sun family not only has to endure the pollution from cinders, but also has to schedule shifts every day and take turns getting up at night to add coal. And they bought the house from Comrade Lang.
The new landlord mainly wanted to rent out. He thought the cost of boiler heating was high, so after discussing with the Sun family, he removed the heating equipment in several of his rooms. Only the Sun family did this work. In the end, after one winter, the Sun family
This boiler was no longer used. It was not until 1986, when the idea of reform was deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, that the Sun family secretly hired a retired boilerman to burn the stove every winter.
Cao Yong is indeed a lawyer, and he grasped these details very well, saving Sun Dahai the trouble of mentioning them again.
Team Leader Feng was stunned for a moment. He had not thought of this problem. He discussed it with the other two staff members and said with a smile: "No problem. Our working group is drawn from various departments and can handle all aspects of the problem."
.For what you mentioned, we can issue a document in the name of the working group and explain it to the power supply bureau. This line will not be withdrawn, but will be converted to civilian electricity pricing. You can continue to use it. However, the cost of electricity is unavoidable."
"Team Leader Feng, you are joking. The expenses will naturally be borne by ourselves. I have another question. If we are not satisfied with the current layout of the house and want to make major changes, is that okay?"
"It is possible now. Theoretically, new construction or major renovation of houses requires approval from the Planning Bureau and Housing Authority. You are doing something special this time. Therefore, you can change the land deed first, and then change the house deed after the house modifications are completed.
"
Cao Yong discussed it with Sun Weiguo and said to Team Leader Feng: "Okay, then we have no problem."
Comrade Lang suddenly asked, when re-registering the land deed, can I change my name to someone else?
Team leader Feng took a deep look at him and said: "The current national policy does not allow individuals to conduct house and land transactions. This is a special situation for you and you need to re-register the house and land deeds. Therefore, when registering, you
Whoever shows his or her ID will be registered by the Housing Authority. Do you understand?"
"I understand, thank you." Comrade Lang was very happy. Sun Dahai estimated that he had already considered selling the house.
