The Black Card - Chapter 1186

[Chapter 1184 Buying a House for Parents]

The time is early April, and there is still a whole month left before this quota cycle.

Shi Lei calculated the amount of consumption by himself.

Thirty percent of the non-revenue investment has been completely consumed, 20% of the city dungeon consumption is no problem, and 10% of the collection consumption has not yet been carried out by Shi Lei.

However, this is also a very simple matter. With Shi Lei’s current wealth and status, it is not too difficult to find a collection worth around ten million.

As for the remaining 40 million, Shi Lei’s daily expenses during these two months were still relatively large.

During this period, he went to Myanmar, Yulong, Spring City twice, Rio de Janeiro, and later went to London with Song Miaomiao.

The cost spent on the journey alone has exceeded 10 million.

There are still 30 million left, which must be used up within a month. The challenge is actually quite big.

From before the Chinese New Year to now, Shi Lei has experienced more than two months of war and chaos, three of which even tested his life and death. It’s time for Shi Lei to calm down and properly arrange his consumption for the next month.

In fact, it was only 30 million. Shi Lei could just buy a yacht, but considering that when he reaches level five in the future, he would still need to face the tasks of a new city dungeon.

Shi Lei decided to postpone the yacht and private jet matters until level five.

Since Song Miaomiao also went to London, Shi Lei was the only one left in Wu Dongjiu’s huge villa.

He obviously has three girlfriends, but now he is alone. Apart from the fact that the ferryman is still missing, there is nothing else for Shi Lei to worry about, which makes Shi Lei feel a little lonely and cold.

Silently bought a gift for Sun Yiyi, Wei Xingyue and Song Miaomiao. Of course, it was impossible to hand it to them personally, but even if he bought a limited edition luxury bag, it was just a drop in the bucket for the amount he was facing now. , it doesn’t consume much at all.

When he was bored, Shi Lei went to Xicheng to visit his parents. After Shi Zhongping retired early and came to the company to help, he quickly got started. Now, he is quite entrepreneurial.

Seeing that his parents were still living in a rented apartment, Shi Lei had an idea to buy an apartment for his parents.

After asking, I discovered that the housing prices in Xicheng are not directly proportional to the average income of the city. Compared with the surrounding cities, the housing prices in Xicheng are incomprehensibly low.

The average income in Wudong is actually similar to that in Xicheng, and even compared to the income within the city, it is slightly lower than that in Xicheng. However, the housing prices in the city center are twice as high as those in Xicheng.

In Kuncheng, not far from Xicheng, the housing prices in the city center are a little higher than in Wudong.

After careful selection, Shi Lei finally found an old house for sale in the city center. This old house has a history of almost hundreds of years and is the most prosperous building in the city center as a protected building. near the pedestrian street.

It is very close to Shi Zhongping and Gao Yan’s company. It only takes about ten minutes to walk to the company.

After inquiring about the price, Shi Lei was very satisfied. The price of this old house for sale reached 23 million.

It stands to reason that such an old house with a Ming and Qing style, covering an area of more than one acre, and having two entrances and two exits, would not be so cheap even in Xicheng.

The agent told Shi Lei that the reason why this house is so cheap is because it is a protected ancient building required by the government. Although it is a private residence, the owner is never allowed to demolish and renovate it privately, and the government will make appropriate adjustments every year. A portion of the allocation will be made to ensure the maintenance of the house.

Therefore, there are special restrictions in many aspects for the homeowners who take over.

Shi Lei took his parents around this house. Both Shi Zhongping and Gao Yan fell deeply in love with this house, which was quiet and full of purpose.

Shi Lei then told them about the restrictions of this house. Although Shi Zhongping and Gao Yan found it a bit troublesome, they still couldn’t resist the attraction of this house to them.

So, Shi Lei met with the owner and asked for more specific information about the house.

Finally, we learned that this house was registered with the Cultural Department of Xicheng. Every year, the Cultural Bureau allocates 400,000 yuan to the house for its repair work.

However, the actual expenditure reaches almost 800,000 per year.

“Mr. Shi, I dare not hide this from you. According to the current situation, if you take over this house, you will need to spend about 400,000 extra yuan every year just on repairs. Otherwise, to be honest, there is such a thing in the city center. It is impossible to sell more than 20 million yuan for more than an acre of land. Moreover, the cultural department also has extremely strict requirements for interior decoration. If I hadn’t repeatedly negotiated with them, according to the cultural department’s wishes, they would have I’m not even allowed to install air conditioners.”

Shi Lei was stunned for a moment, then turned his attention to the roof and walls.

The house owner also noticed Shi Lei’s doubts and explained: “But it’s pretty good now, everything has been resolved. To be honest, in order to install the air conditioner without damaging the original structure of the house, I specially hired someone from the Imperial Capital We asked experts in ancient architecture to carry out the design, and ultimately spent more than 2 million to ensure the installation of air conditioners without causing any damage to the building itself. You can look around and see that all the air conditioning ducts are laid in Xinjia. During the decoration, the connecting pipes between the outdoor unit and the indoor unit did not damage the original brick and wood structure.”

Shi Lei nodded and said, “I’m just saying it’s strange, I clearly saw the air conditioner… Haha, old gentleman You really put a lot of effort into it.”

The landlord sighed and added: “To be honest, I can still afford the annual expenses of 400,000 yuan. If it weren’t for my age and my children living abroad, Even though I wanted to take me over, I was quite reluctant to let go of this house. After all, our family has lived in this house for four generations. Every brick, every tile, even every flower and plant, was all created by me with my eyes closed. I can also accurately tell its location. The key is that this house cannot be rented out or left empty. After all, it needs to be maintained to a certain extent every year. After long discussions with Director Zhang of the Cultural Affairs Bureau, they are unable to acquire me. I can only make this decision for this house.”

Shi Lei smiled and said, “Is it our duty to protect such ancient buildings?”

“If Mr. Shi thinks so, that’s the best thing. For specific situations, if you decide to buy, Director Zhang of the Cultural Affairs Bureau will definitely communicate with you in advance. If it weren’t for such trouble, to be honest, this The house has been sold a long time ago.”

“Old sir, you have already mentioned this, so I won’t say more. I am very willing to take over this house, and I can accept the basic issues. Who told my parents to like this house? I also hope that when they get older, they can live in such a winding environment. Then please bother the old gentleman and contact the cultural department to see when to make an appointment , let’s learn more about the specific situation.”

The homeowner was slightly excited. Before Shi Lei, no less than ten people came to see the house, but when they heard that this house was in such trouble, they basically backed down.

Shi Lei was the only one who really showed intention to buy.

“Mr. Shi, are you really sure?” The homeowner stood up.
