Chapter 126, renting a house
Nan Yi did not leave for Yanshan immediately. He had something to do and couldn't leave for the time being.
Masami Ueto sent several new employees from Tokyo, namely Sasaki, the head of the quality control section, and staff Hitomi Akagi and Yuko Imaizumi.
Sasaki has twenty years of experience in quality control. If the company where he originally worked hadn't closed down, it would have been difficult to recruit someone with such rich experience and a professional counterpart.
As for how the club where he originally worked closed down, this was mentioned in the information provided by Masami Ueto.
The president of that club was a wise man. He found that the Nikkei Index was already extremely high and was about to prosper and then decline, so he shorted the Nikkei Index. As a result, of course, he lost all his pants.
Hitomi Akagi came from the same club as Sasaki, and turned out to be Sasaki's employee.
Imaizumi Yuko is a student who graduated from a vocational school, which is similar to a technical school. She has a pretty face and a bit of a big frame, and she looks a bit like a model named Ayaka.
According to her profile, the section manager of the club where she used to work was a nice person. He often took her to an izakaya after get off work, and he was afraid that if she didn't enjoy her drink enough, he would work with other colleagues to get her drunk.
She just couldn't stand the enthusiasm and resigned in anger.
The original clubs of Sasaki and Hitomi Akagi were engaged in the food processing industry, and Yuko Imaizumi's original club was even more so. Her original club was under the Nippon Agricultural Cooperative, and her job was to select agricultural products.
It can be said that the work experience of the three people is relatively consistent with the demand for mountain food. As long as they are familiar with mountain products and dried fruits for a period of time, the three of them can become effective inspection and quality control personnel.
The three newcomers can no longer be accommodated in the Friendship Hotel. Room rates in foreign-related hotels at this time are not cheap. A standard room costs twenty or thirty dollars a day. The median income in the United States this year is less than eight thousand dollars.
This expense was too big, and Nan Yi would certainly not be willing to bear it. He called Men San'er, and the two of them went to the housing management office together.
"Bugs, bugs."
The two of them arrived outside the housing management office. Nan Yi leaned against the window and shouted to a young man inside.
When the young man heard the shouting, his eyes came over, his face lit up, and he walked out.
"Master Nan Wu, why did you think of coming to see me today?"
The young man's name is Fang Chong. He is Nanyi's bad friend and they often fight together outside.
"Don't be shy, I'm not trying to quarrel. I want to ask you something today." Nan Yi took out a cigarette and handed it to Fang Chong and said.
"It's not just a matter of quarreling. My brother has become a good man and will go to work honestly now."
"I'm looking for you because it has something to do with your class. I want to ask you, does your housing management office manage a lot of houses? Are there any vacancies now?"
"Yes, there are escrow and hosting services. Why, do you want to rent a house?"
"Yes and no, this matter is quite troublesome. Let me tell you this, I am asking on behalf of a Japanese company. They have three employees, two men and one woman for the time being, and there may be more in the future. They need to provide accommodation for them.
."
"Oh, foreigner?"
"Japanese Japanese can also be considered foreigners."
"We do have houses, but we have policies that require foreign exchange to be charged for renting houses to foreigners, and the prices are more expensive."
"This is not a problem. Is there a place suitable for twenty people to live? It would be best on South Street, next to the foreign-related office building."
"Yes, there is a tube building in Zhongguancun. It used to belong to a Sanbian factory, but is now managed by our housing management office. The building is good, and it is better than the one you have in Erhua."
"Expert building?"
"The specifications are higher. It was built in 1973 and is an officer's building."
The officer's building that Fang Chong mentioned is an old-fashioned two-story building, which can also be understood as a townhouse. One family lives on the first floor and one family lives on the second floor. It is considered a relatively high-standard housing in the 1970s, and ordinary people cannot live in it.
Men San'er asked curiously: "What is Sanbiang Factory, with such high housing conditions?"
"Men San'er, my friend."
"Oh, hello, brother." Fang Chong said hello and said, "I don't know much about it, but the house is really nice. May I take you to have a look?"
"Don't be impatient. Please tell me the price first so that I can have an idea."
"Each apartment is 84 square meters, with three rooms, a kitchen, bathroom, and a large living room. Mr. Wu, you said it is rented by foreigners, so that apartment is 80 yuan."
"Eighty? You want to eat people. Renting a room in a large courtyard doesn't cost more than five yuan."
"You also talked about a large courtyard. Can it be compared with this one? A large courtyard is less than 10 square meters, right? Based on the area, 80 square meters costs 40 yuan, and that doesn't even include a kitchen and bathroom.
Mr. Wu also said that if a foreigner rents, the price will be higher. By the way, Mr. Wu, as I said before, you need foreign exchange, not foreign exchange coupons."
"Is it okay to pay for a day?"
"Of course, as long as it's not Jie Jie's waste paper, it'll be fine. We're not short of Jie Jie's money, and we've seized several trucks."
"Okay, you take us there first??"
"Wait a minute, I'll go in and give a shout."
Fang Chong walked back to the office and came back after a while, holding a key disk in his hand.
Fang Chong rode a bicycle, Men San'er took Nan Yi, and the three of them went to South Street. Along the way, Fang Chong also helped Nan Yi recall the prestige and history of the year.
Fighting the blind, scolding the deaf, beating the lame, and patting the mother-in-law.
"Fifth Master, do you still remember Yun Yun?"
"Um."
"She is hanging out with Gao Yi now. It's unclear. Gao Yi, do you still remember? Haihou, she had a fight with us."
"I know, I met the two of them not long ago. How do you know so much about her?"
"To tell you the truth, she is so beautiful, and I am also itching for you. It was when Fifth Master you said you wanted to sniff her, that I stopped thinking about it, but you never did anything, and then you went to the countryside again."
"So, you started thinking about it again later?"
"Bah, not long after you left, she fell in love with that boy Sun Xiaojian. They spent the night at his grandson's house just two days after they met. Later, Sun Xiaojian fell in love with someone else, and she followed Gao Yi.
I am also very close to Gao Yi now. This guy is very clever. He can often get some in-demand goods. He distributes them, but the distribution is unclear. He often brings a group of people with him, the same group of people from Haihou.
Let’s go to a restaurant.”
"You went too?"
"Sometimes, the salary is too small. After paying for food for my family, I don't have much money left a month. It's not enough for me to buy a few packs of cigarettes."
"oh."
Nan Yi carefully recalled every bit of Fang Chong's past, and the past events were replayed in his mind... This guy is not bad, and he works in the housing management office, so he can observe and observe first.
"Here we are, right here."
Nan Yi jumped out of the car and looked at the wall on the roadside. He had passed by this place many times, but he never knew what was behind the wall.
There are too many places in the important place of the capital that you shouldn't inquire about, and you shouldn't look at blindly. Nanyi will never put curiosity in this.
As Fang Chong opened the courtyard door, what came into view was a passage paved with stones.
A small flower bed was dug up next to the corridor. It should have been full of red and green flowers, but it is now abandoned.
Walking along the corridor, low buildings appear one after another.
They are scattered in an orderly manner, not the usual horizontal and vertical ones. Each building has a small courtyard, surrounded by a wall less than one meter high. It is estimated that in the original plan, there will be a fence on the wall.
"There are nine buildings in total, eight of which house two families. One building has upstairs and downstairs connections, and can only house one family." Fang Chong said, leading Nan Yi and the two of them to one of the buildings. "It has water both above and below.
It's clear, there are two buildings whose floors haven't been finished yet..."
As the door was opened, Nanyi also turned his attention to the house itself.
The environment here is much better than my old bungalow. The nine houses plus the small courtyard and the large courtyard outside are roughly estimated to be about 3,400 square meters.
Zhongguancun, 3,400 square meters, a quiet house amidst the bustle, it would be great to be able to buy it.
