The Pentium Era - South to North

Zhang Chen and the others arrived at Changshu Road. The house Liu Bang, the founder of the Han Dynasty, talked about was in an alley on Changshu Road. The gate did not open to Changshu Road, but to the courtyard wall, next to Changshu Road. This was just right for Zhang Chen. , the door opens to Changshu Road, but it will seem a bit too lively.

Liu Bang, the emperor of the Han Dynasty, commanded Xiao Wu to turn left at the entrance of the alley. After entering for more than ten meters, there was an iron gate. There was an open space paved with floor tiles at the gate, where four or five cars could be parked. Probably because he was worried about others parking their cars. Here, except for a parking space, potted flowers are placed everywhere else. In the pots, the weeds grow more lush than the flowers.

In the only parking space, there is a black Hutou Mercedes parked here. The model of the car is very old. The car is covered with leaves. It seems that even the tires are a little flat. The car is parked here and it should be very old. long days.

The four people got out of the car, and Liu Bang, the emperor of the Han Dynasty, told them, come on, move out of the parking space.

Everyone moved the potted flowers to the side, and soon a parking space was opened, and Xiao Wu parked the car.

Inside the wrought iron gate is a courtyard. The tall camphor trees in the courtyard block out the sky and the sun, bringing a shadow to the entire courtyard at noon in midsummer. The cicadas chirp incessantly, giving this summer a quiet coolness. From the outside When you turn here on Changshu Road, you have the illusion of a winding path leading to a secluded place. Zhang Chen felt that he fell in love with this place.

At the end of the yard is a three-story house. This house is actually a freak, with Spanish style and Baroque style. It has red brick walls, double-slope roofs, dormer windows, and a bit of Gothic style. , the designer blended so many elements together, like a hodgepodge, but also like a pot of stew, full of flavor.

Anyway, Chinese people themselves are not familiar with Western architecture. Such a mixture makes people feel that it is all Western, so that’s fine. There was a time when the West was synonymous with modernity and avant-garde. When this house was first completed, it must have been It makes people feel very modern, and the designer is trying to figure out this kind of psychology.

Nowadays, after years of hard work, modernity has turned into vicissitudes. This disharmony has also become a memory intertwined with old dreams, becoming harmonious and interesting.

Someone in the house raised his ears and listened carefully to the movement outside through the chirping of cicadas. He heard their arrival and walked out of the house. This was a man in his fifties and almost sixty years old. He stood on the porch of the house, saw them, raised his left hand and waved towards them, then came down the steps and limped towards them.

The visitor was holding a cane in his right hand, also called a stick. When he leaned to the right, the stick supported him strongly. Without it, Zhang Chen felt that he would fall down at any time.

The man is older than Han Emperor Liu Bang, but he is called Brother Liu, Emperor Liu Bang. It seems that the title of eldest brother of Emperor Liu Bang in Taipei refers to status and seniority rather than age. From Lin Shuwan's age to the one in front of him, This man is called Brother Liu.

The man opened the iron door and let them in. Liu Bang, the emperor of Han Dynasty, patted his arm gently and asked, "How do you like it?"

"It's still the same. It's okay on days like this. But when it's cloudy, it hurts like hell."

The man replied that what they were talking about should be his leg disease. Liu Bang, the emperor of the Han Dynasty, told him to be careful. The man nodded.

Liu Bang, the great ancestor of the Han Dynasty, introduced them to the man whose surname was Ou and whose name was Boss Ou Jianglie.

He also introduced Zhang Chen, Liu Ligan and Xiao Wu to Ou Jianglie, and told him that it was Zhang Chen and he wanted to see his house.

Boss Ou said that the house is still good, but it is a bit old. As long as Boss Zhang likes it, everything else is easy to talk about. Brother Liu is a brother, so what else can be said.

Boss Ou led them inside. Zhang Chen saw that the foundation of the yard was good, but it was obviously neglected. The corridors of the yard were made of floor tiles. They were made of bricks with diamond-shaped patterns embedded in the ground. There was a marble The water in the fountain has stopped spraying for a long time, and the pool is full of fallen leaves and rotten water lilies.

They walked onto the porch. From the porch to the inside, the floor was paved with flower tiles. The inside of the building was just like the outside. The ceiling on top of the living room was actually decorated with stained glass similar to that of a church, surrounded by a circle. The wall skirt is made of Turkish-style tiles with white background and blue flowers, just like a Turkish bath.

The arches and door frames are well designed. The stairs leading to the second floor and the surrounding doors are all made of solid wood. They are dark and dark, giving people a very solid feeling. They seem to be competing against time. They are always It's reassuring to have the upper hand.

The entire living room is empty, of course the old furniture is gone. There are just a few rattan sofas and rattan coffee tables casually placed. In the corner on the right side of the living room, there is a small folding square table, spread out. It looks like it is European. The boss makes do with the place to eat.

There is a window air conditioner installed in the living room. It is very old and shabby. It spits out air-conditioning, but it doesn't actually spit out much. Fortunately, the house itself is very shady under the care of the camphor overhead, so it also makes it cool. People don't feel hot.

All of this gives people a temporary feeling. They are living in a temporary place, but once they have settled in, they will continue to be so temporary. If he had not been prepared in advance, Zhang Chen would not believe that this boss Ou would be in this house. The owner, on the other hand, also saw the embarrassment of the Taiwanese's current life.

Zhang Chen pointed to the stairs leading to the second floor and asked Boss Ou, can I go up and have a look?

"You can just look at it, but it's a little dirty. After my bad legs, I didn't go upstairs for several years." Boss Ou said with a smile.

"I'll accompany you up."

Liu Bang, the emperor of the Han Dynasty, said that four people went upstairs, and Boss Ou sat down on the rattan sofa in the living room alone. When they got upstairs, Liu Ligan asked Liu Bang, the emperor of the Han Dynasty, in a low voice, how boss Ou's leg was injured. ?

I was fooling around, drank, took a woman with me, and drove a car. In the middle of the night, I hit the isolation belt under the Yan'an Elevated Highway and broke the light pole. I was lucky to be able to save my life.

"Where is that woman?" Liu Ligan asked with concern.

"It's not a serious problem, but it's disfigured. It's a big problem for a woman. She lost her money and went back to her hometown in the countryside. There's no use keeping it."

Liu Bang, the emperor of the Han Dynasty, pointed to his crotch. He was useless here and became quiet.

Zhang Chen and Liu Ligan understood what Liu Bang, the great ancestor of the Han Dynasty, meant when he said that Boss Ou couldn't do anything even if he wanted to.

They went to the second floor and then to the third floor to take a look. The rooms were very small, and the stairs and passages were also cramped. This is also a common problem in this kind of old bungalow. Living in such a house is really uncomfortable, but If it is turned into a club, these small rooms of different shapes can be transformed into a mahjong room, a small restaurant, a refreshment room, a study room, and a massage room, but it will have a unique atmosphere.

Liu Ligan asked Zhang Chen, how is it?

"It's okay to be a club, and the location of this place is really good. You can get some peace and quiet amidst the hustle and bustle." Zhang Chen said.

"Especially for those country bumpkin rich ladies who have just become wealthy, they will find this place to be unique." Liu Ligan said with a smile, "This place has been repaired and can satisfy their self-righteous aristocratic dreams."

Zhang Chen nodded and said to Liu Bang, the great ancestor of the Han Dynasty, yes, Brother Liu, I bought it.

The four of them went downstairs and sat down on the rattan sofa. Boss Ou seemed to have been prepared for it. He handed a document bag to Zhang Chen. Zhang Chen opened it and took a look. Inside was the deed of the house.

The deeds of the old houses all carry real estate. In addition to the deeds, there are also newly obtained real estate certificates and land certificates. The area of ​​the land certificate is 732 square meters, and the area of ​​the real estate certificate is 353 square meters. square.

Zhang Chen gave all of this to Liu Ligan, who looked at it and found that there was no problem.

Zhang Chen looked at Boss Ou and asked, "Boss Ou, how much are you prepared to transfer this house for?"

"You have also seen my situation. I want to sell this house and go back to Taiwan." Boss Ou said, "My asking price is 20 million. Boss Zhang, you are Brother Liu's little brother, so we don't have to go around. After going around and around, how about a fixed price of 17 million?"

Boss Ou directly offered 17 million. Neither Zhang Chen nor Liu Ligan were too embarrassed to bargain. Zhang Chen looked at Liu Bang, the great ancestor of the Han Dynasty. Liu Bang, the great ancestor of the Han Dynasty, nodded slightly. From the looks of it, this It's the real price.

Zhang Chen said yes, then at this price, when can the transfer be completed?

"Of course I hope it will be as soon as possible, but it will take some time for Boss Zhang to raise money, right?" Boss Ou said, "It doesn't matter, I'll just wait for you."

Zhang Chen looked at his watch. It was already two o'clock. The housing authority should have opened the door. Zhang Chen smiled and said, "No, if it's convenient for Boss Ou, we can check in now."

When Zhang Chen said this, Boss Ou was stunned. He looked at Han Emperor Liu Bang, laughed, and said, "He is Brother Liu's younger brother after all, and his temper is the same as Brother Liu. Okay, let's go."

The five of them got up and went to the car outside. Zhang Chen asked Boss Ou, "Do you want to go to the bank to transfer money first?"

"No, just transfer the money after transferring the house, little brother, I can trust you." Boss Ou said, and his title for Zhang Chen became "little brother" after Liu Bang, the great ancestor of the Han Dynasty.

They arrived at the Housing Authority. The housing market in Shanghai was as sluggish as that in Hangzhou. There were not many people going through the procedures here. Their turn came soon and they completed the property transfer procedures smoothly.

Then they went to the bank. Zhang Chen transferred all the money to Boss Ou at the counter. It only took two hours. By about four o'clock, all the procedures were completed.

When leaving the bank, Zhang Chen heard Boss Ou whisper to Han Emperor Liu Bang: "Brother Liu, what money do you have?"

Liu Bang, the emperor of the Han Dynasty, waved his hand: "I'm not in a hurry. You deal with other things first. I don't lack that little money. Brother, when you return to Taiwan, you'd better take good care of yourself."

Boss Ou quickly said: "Thank you, Brother Liu! I owe you for taking care of me here in the mainland."

"Don't say such unreasonable words." Liu Bang, the great ancestor of the Han Dynasty, patted Boss Ou on the shoulder.

However, during the short time they left, a tricycle had been parked in the open space they had given up, and it was also locked with a chain. Zhang Chen, Liu Ligan and Han Gaozu Liu Bang got out of the car and lifted the tricycle aside. Wu parked the car and entered.

After walking inside, Boss Ou found a bunch of keys and handed them to Zhang Chen. He looked around and said to Zhang Chen, "Okay, little brother, this is yours. I will leave tomorrow."

"You're in such a hurry to go back to Taiwan?" Zhang Chen asked.

Boss Ou shook his head and said: "There are still things to deal with in the mainland, and we will still have to stay for a week or two. I will find a hotel to stay in when I leave tomorrow."

"As long as you continue to live here, I want to renovate it, and I can't come up with a plan so quickly." Zhang Chen said.

"Isn't that embarrassing?" Boss Ou said.

"It's okay, my little brother said it's okay, you can live there." Liu Bang, the emperor of the Han Dynasty, said.

"It's just that some people will come in and out in the past two days, which may disturb Brother Ou." Zhang Chen said.

"What's wrong, I'm the only one interrupting." Boss Ou said quickly, "Then I won't bother moving back and forth. Thank you, little brother. Don't worry, I will do it as soon as possible."
