Zhou Liwen has now purchased several old villas like this. In his previous life, Zhou Liwen liked such old houses. He felt that living in such old villas would feel the siege of years, and his whole mood would become particularly peaceful and peaceful.

In the past, due to the limitations of conditions, this was just a luxury dream for Zhou Liwen. Now he has used the network of real estate companies to start this different collection hobby with great enthusiasm.

With the erosion of time and the long-term poor maintenance of residents, several old villas that were obtained were scarred and even unrecognizable. Just like the one in front of you, when you took it down, the small garden was filled with moldy garbage, the wooden ladders in the corridor were halfway, and the owner of the household just made a few steel wires to barely use them. As for the wooden floor, it was even more worn and not decent. The walls in the house were burned by smoke and fire, which were black and yellow. If you came in the middle of the night, under the dim light, it looked like a haunted house.

I hired an old professor who was engaged in historical architecture research from the university. It took me half a year to spend nearly 3 million yuan to renovate the entire house. Now, what is presented to Zhou Liwen is its original appearance, just as new as it was a century ago.

Pushing open the thick oak door and stepping on the crisp wooden floor, Zhou Liwen looked around with a confused and surprising look. The overall structure was deliberately maintained in its original flavor during decoration. The internal layout was based on the design drawings found in the old paper pile in the library, and the later residents were restored one by one. After renovation, it was revitalized again.

The first floor is the living room, dining room, kitchen and servant room. The design of the living room is in the Locke style. Compared with the Baroque style originating from Italy, the Locke style is more compact and practical, and is more suitable for this bungalow with a large living room area. At the request of Zhou Liwen, the dining room and kitchen have added a simple pattern to the Locke style, giving people a grand and exquisite feeling.

The three rooms on the second floor are one of the master bedrooms, one is the deputy bedroom, and the other is the study. The rooms have also been adjusted in terms of overall style according to the different owners of the institute. The master bedroom is calm and intact, the vice bedroom is gorgeous and lively, and the study room exudes a strong cultural atmosphere. Along the way, Zhou Liwen nodded happily.

The third floor is small, so Zhou Liwen simply opened up the storage room and the attic on the third floor to make an activity room. You can usually exercise, play basketball, or something. If there are even guests, clean up a little, and it is not a big problem to temporarily treat it as a guest room.

As for the small garden behind, the cement floor had been shoveled away by Zhou Liwen. A short path was paved with colorful pebbles. A tall camphor tree was planted on the left, a green lawn was laid on the right, and two rattan chairs were placed on the lawn, which looked very warm and lifelike.

"Boss Zhou, are you still satisfied?" The speaker was a short fat man in a suit. He was Lao Mai, the contractor in charge of rectification and decoration. Don't look at the appearance of this guy. According to the professor of the Department of Architecture who introduced him, this Fat Man's engineering team is very good and has also undertaken the restoration of historical buildings on the Bund. It is at the top level in this industry.

"Good, thank you for your hard work." Zhou Liwen nodded, and Fatty Mai immediately grinned with joy: "You're welcome, you're welcome, Boss Zhou, you're satisfied. It's not that your brother brags about it. With high requirements like you, there's no better engineering team in Shanghai than me. Don't look at the decoration companies outside now, they are all foolish. Find an office to hang a sign and go back to the countryside to get a few three-legged people to do business. It's so careless to use this engineering team to build a husband's house, but it's impossible to do this. Look at this technology, the whole project basically uses tenons, which is a kung fu job! It's not like they can only knock nails..."

Fatty Mai sang praises for himself with a spirit, and Zhou Liwen was not angry. Fatty Mai sang a praise for himself. As for what he said, most of his use of tenons in decoration, and carpenters cannot do such jobs at all. Now, there are very few projects outside that can use half-tenons, and most of them basically rely on nail guns to work. After the decoration of this kind of job, it seems pretty good in the first few years, but various problems will arise over time.

Zhou Liwen has handed over the project quality acceptance to the professor of the Department of Architecture he hired. Today he came here mainly to see the final effect. After chatting with Fatty Mai, Zhou Liwen told him that he was very satisfied with the final effect, and that another house was also planned to be handed over to him. Fatty Mai was overjoyed after hearing this, and thanked Zhou Liwen repeatedly with a smile. Zhou Liwen asked him to go directly to the professor to arrange the next work, and the professor would discuss with him in detail in the specific situation.

Fatty Mai left, and Zhou Liwen was turning around the house with great enthusiasm, and Yao Liang arrived.

"Damn!" As soon as he entered the door, Yao Liang was stunned. He looked at the magnificent villa decorated in a daze. It took him a long time to come back to his senses.

"Is this the same house? Why did it look like this?"

"It's changed after the decoration is finished. Why? It's not bad, right?" Zhou Liwen asked happily, Yao Liang looked around intently, and his mouth was twitching.

"You are such a terrible capitalist family! How can we ordinary people live if we actually make this building look like this?"

"Bad, you kid is still a commoner?" Zhou Liwen immediately criticized Yao Liang for this shamelessness: "I remember you kid has more than ten apartments now, right? You still call yourself a commoner in so many houses? Believe it or not, I will go to your Discipline Inspection Commission to report or expose it."

"Hehe, a small fight... a small fight..." Yao Liang smiled and scratched his head embarrassedly. Since helping Zhou Liwen get the mortgage, Yao Liang couldn't help but get it up soon. This kid is still quite conscious. He thinks Zhou Liwen is right. The house price is just a moment, and the house price will eventually rise as time goes by. Moreover, he carefully analyzed that the current housing prices and rental ratios are actually not much different. Even if you rent a house for a loan, you don't have much pressure to repay it. In this way, he has made more than ten houses intermittently over the past year. And according to what Zhou Liwenhe said, his goal is mainly to old public housing near key primary and secondary schools in the city center. Because this kind of house is low, has a high occupancy rate and has a great appreciation potential, it is a good investment goal.

However, Zhou Liwen knew very well that Yao Liang had made the right move. After more than ten years, these school district houses are the most popular. The small old house with a total of nearly 50 square meters is only more than 100,000 yuan now, but it will be no difficulty to sell 34 million yuan with your eyes closed in the future, and it will even be snatched by someone once listed. Based on the number of houses he currently has, a quasi-billionaire ten years later is standing in front of him.

"If you have the chance, you can also get one. I will give you some attention to the housing supply. To be honest, compared to high-rise buildings, I still like this kind of old villa." Zhou Liwen suggested.

Yao Liang shook his head and said laughing and crying: "I said, Boss Zhou, you are standing and talking without a pain. Now more than a dozen mortgages are almost suppressed, and I can't breathe. If it weren't for some rewards and subsidies from the bank, I would have to jump into the Huangpu River. I don't know how much your house costs? I've all done the loans, and these decorations, these furniture, my mother! In terms of calculation, it probably will be worth the price of this house. I'm not you, you are the big boss, I'm just a small job."

"You kid, if you don't buy it now, you will regret it in the future. Don't blame me for not reminding you."

"Not bad! It's absolutely not bad!" Yao Liang laughed and took out a document from his bag and handed it to Zhou Liwen: "The contract is brought to you. Please sign it if there is no problem."

After saying hello to Yao Liang, Zhou Liwen sat on the sofa in the living room and looked at the document carefully. In fact, this thing is a mortgage agreement. In addition to this house, Zhou Liwen also bought several other old villas. A few days ago, he even fell in love with a deep house on Huaxun Road. Zhou Liwen is very familiar with this place. He passed by every day from childhood to adulthood. According to the older generation, the original owner of this house had a very high status before liberation. After liberation, the original owner's family fled to the Taiwan Strait, and the government confiscated it for another purpose, and later became the office location of the agency. If history had not changed, the place would be taken down by a multinational company in a few years, and then the famous German restaurant in Shanghai was built. Now, Zhou Liwen made a move in advance and got it from the Second Light Bureau for a price of up to 37 million.

Speaking of taking over this place, Zhou Liwen still took advantage of Luo Jianhua and his real estate company. In fact, Zhou Liwen had this plan more than half a year ago. After acquiring Luo Jianhua's real estate company, Zhou Liwen did not change the company's name for some reason. When he learned that the Second Light Bureau was about to merge with the Industrial Bureau, Zhou Liwen quietly began to take action and used these relationships to tentatively propose the intention to buy it.

At first, the head of the Second Light Bureau did not take this seriously, but with the gradual increase in the price of Zhou Liwen, and the merger of the Second Light Bureau and the Industrial Bureau was officially confirmed by the municipal government, the cancellation of the Second Light Bureau was a foregone conclusion. The head of the Second Light Bureau faced this situation and began to plan for his own retreat.

At this time, the other party had formal negotiation sincerity. Zhou Liwen paid a huge amount of 37 million yuan in open purchases, but in fact the total amount was as high as more than 40 million yuan. He also solved several places to study abroad for the person in charge of the Second Light Bureau, and then he got what he wanted.
