  As a seasoned person, Li Yifan is well aware of the high housing prices in Beijing and, having worked as a real estate agent for three months, he also knows that some areas have good houses and some areas have great development potential in the future.

  But now as a rich man, he really thinks it's unnecessary to occupy land for the sake of future money and wait for demolition, after all, that's very troublesome.

  You're not a local in Beijing, and you can't get along with those developers. Now there are over 10 million in hand, the most important thing is to solve your own worries first, as for making money, there will be plenty of opportunities later.

  He knew well the future trend of Beijing's real estate as a person who had lived through two generations. At this age, buying a house is best to buy a quadrangle courtyard, not only convenient transportation but also great space for appreciation in the future.

  However, this idea was soon vetoed by Li Yifan. The current scale of the city in Beijing is not as severe as the expansion of later generations. Those siheyuan are mainly concentrated in the old city area within the Second Ring Road.

  It's that piece of land right next to the foot of the Imperial City, but due to historical reasons, those siheyuan are all inhabited by several families together, and their preservation conditions aren't great either.

  As for those well-preserved siheyuan, they are generally either former residences of famous people or historical sites protected by the government.

  So wanting to buy a suitable Siheyuan is not very hopeful, and it's also quite troublesome. First of all, you need to negotiate with many residents, these people's asking prices are not low, and most of the houses have been neglected for years, after taking them down, they still need to be renovated again.

  What's crucial is that the idea of cultural relic protection, these places' siheyuan mostly don't have centralized heating and still burn coal balls, this problem wasn't completely solved even after a dozen years.

  And those siheyuan have very poor sanitary conditions, if you want to buy one, you still need to renovate the water and electricity system, it's quite troublesome.

  The most crucial point is that these siheyuan are generally located in the core area of Beijing, which now seems to have very convenient transportation, but when it becomes congested with traffic jams everywhere in Beijing after a decade or so, you will know the pain of living in this place.

  And a few years later, the smoggy weather that will shroud the city center every day is also one of the main reasons to consider. Therefore, after some deliberation, Li Yifan sent someone to buy a siheyuan within the scope of house purchase.

  After a day of exploration, he selected several communities, all of which are hotspots in the capital city of later generations. One of them is located in Chaoyang District, near Chaoyang Park. This place is very close to the CBD in later generations, and the community scale is relatively mature, with a good living environment, and it's convenient to go anywhere.

  There is a community called Jingjing Haoting, which is very much in line with his idea. In the last life when he was doing real estate brokerage in Beijing, he had sold houses here before.

  At that time, in the first peak period of the real estate industry, the house prices here had already reached a price range of 30,000 to 40,000 yuan per square meter. After several rounds of national regulation, the house prices here finally broke through the 60,000-yuan mark.

  As a real estate agent who once sold houses here, Li Yifan has a very deep impression of this community, which was developed by a real estate developer from Xiangjiang.

  It was just completed at the beginning of this year. Because it is a landmark work of Xiangjiang Company, the design and construction quality of the community are very good. Even if it is put ten or twenty years later, the quality of the houses and the greening plan of the community are still top-notch.

  Whether a house is good or not depends not only on its geographical location. If it's for self-occupation, the quality of the house is also a key factor to consider.

  The original design of this community was said to be done by a world-renowned design company specifically hired by the Xiangjiang company, with great building spacing and greening, as well as excellent house types. Compared to those buildings built over a decade later, which were designed solely for increasing floor area ratio without considering lighting or ventilation, just to cater to speculators, this community is much better.

  Moreover, in order to make a name for itself, Xiangjiang Group was very strict with the quality of construction. Even after ten years, people who lived here would still be full of praise for the quality of the houses.

  After comprehensive consideration, Li Yifan was very satisfied with the house type, geographical location and house quality here, and met with the salesperson in the afternoon to understand the general situation.

  This community was just developed and built at the beginning of this year. As it is a landmark project of Xiangjiang Construction Group, they handled everything very seriously, even providing high-end decoration for each house.

  In this era, such a decoration apartment that can be checked in with luggage is rare in Beijing, and the price is also unusually high.

  At a price of 40,000 yuan per square meter, it is also making many potential homebuyers hesitant to take the plunge. Moreover, it was just after the Asian financial crisis in 1998 and not during a period of booming housing market, so even people with purchasing power were extremely cautious about buying a house.

  Li Yifan set his sights on a maisonette apartment on the 18th floor of Building 8, located in the center of the residential area. The total area of this house is over 240 square meters, with an open view to the front and facing an artificial lake within the community.

  Inside, the layout is carefully designed by designers from Xiangjiang, and the walls are pasted with wallpapers that are not commonly seen in China. The floor is paved with excellent tiles, and kitchen utensils and stoves are all well-known domestic brands. Although they are not internationally renowned brands, their quality is still relatively good.

  Although the country has not yet entered the internet age, the designer of this community has surprisingly left a fiber optic interface in each household for future use, which shows the careful consideration of the house design and construction team.

  The quality of the house is very good, and the layout design in the room also makes Li Yifan very satisfied. The internal design layout of the high-end family in the TVB drama, which is common in Xiangjiang, has both Chinese flavor and Western style, which is not often seen in the country this year, looks very comfortable.

  Moreover, the most important thing is that the price is not expensive, 4200 yuan per square meter. This price is undoubtedly a sky-high price for the ordinary citizens of Beijing who have an average monthly salary of only around 2000 yuan, but for Li Yihua who has just become a small tycoon, it's not a big problem at all.

  Additionally, the sales staff here seem to be in a hurry. According to her hints, Xiangjiang Development Group has suffered significant losses due to last year's Asian financial crisis, so their cash flow is currently quite tight. As a result, they have introduced a series of preferential policies for homeowners who purchase properties here.

  For example, if you buy the property here in full, not only will you not be charged for the shared area fee, but you will also receive a 9.5% discount on the total price of the house, and most importantly, two underground parking spaces will be given away directly.

  Under such conditions, if you were to switch to ten years later, you might as well go dream, ten years later don't even mention buying a house, you want to buy tens of square meters of shared area fees, it's just a parking space and you won't spend hundreds of thousands of yuan.

  The villa has a unique layout with multiple layers, and the geographical location is superior. The house has access to water, electricity, and gas, and it's a full payment purchase with discounts and a free parking space. Where can you find such a good deal?

  Li Yifan immediately signed a contract with the other party on the spot, but they can only go to the bank for the transfer of ownership and account change together tomorrow.

  When Li Lisheng and his wife returned to the hotel after a day out, they were stunned when they heard that Li Yihua had bought a house.

  Li Yifan thought it was natural for him to spend money on a house, but he neglected the fact that in his parents' eyes, he was still just a 17-year-old kid. Buying a house was such a big deal, and he didn't even discuss it with his parents, which made Zhang Shu and her husband somewhat unacceptable.

  "Son, didn't we just buy a house in Bin City? Why are you still buying a house in the capital?"

  To be honest, when Zhang Shu heard that her son had spent tens of thousands of dollars at once, she was a little unhappy in her heart, fearing that her son had been cheated.

  "Hey, Mom! I've been thinking that with my current academic performance, it might not be too difficult to get into a top university in Beijing in the future. Who knows, maybe after graduation, I'll even stay in Beijing for work. So, I think it's better to buy now rather than later. Why don't we buy an apartment in Beijing just in case? That way, if you two come to Beijing again for tourism or whatever, you'll have a place to stay."
