This yard is really cheap for Yang Jing, but in fact, when Mike Aller bought this yard, he was still slaughtered...

If it were calculated based on the price at that time, even if the yard is good and the area is large, the actual price is only about 300,000 national coins, and this yard is still a public one.

However, Yang Jing specifically instructed Mike Aller at that time, that no matter how much the yard costs, it must be taken down. When someone saw a kid, how could the knife not be sharpened quickly?

But for Yang Jing, let alone $500,000, even $1 million or $2 million, Yang Jing would have bought it without hesitation by Mike Aller.

Because Yang Jing knew very well what this yard in the original time and space represents, even if you have money, you can't buy this yard!

The most important thing is that Yang Jing wants to buy this yard early and then completely renovate it, in the next thirty years, this yard can be used as a temporary warehouse. At least, whether it is Pete, Wu, or later Xue Renfa, the old items they purchased for themselves need this yard to preserve. This yard occupies a very important position in Yang Jing's plan.

When Yang Jing stood in front of this completely rebuilt large yard, he couldn't help but feel a little excited.

Fortunately, this is Yanjing, and there are many foreigners, otherwise Yang Jing, who just stood here and stood motionless, would attract the attention of many people.

When I knocked on the door, footsteps quickly sounded inside. When the door opened, an old man in his fifties and almost sixty years old appeared in front of Yang Jing.

"Ha, hello... looking for a pot of oil?" The old man was obviously hired to come to see the door. He was smashed open by a foreigner early in the morning. The old man was obviously a little confused. He said something mixed with English and Chinese, and almost spit out Yang Jing.

"Hello, I'll look for Mr. Wu." When Yang Jing saw that the old man had even said "oil search pot" (meaning "who are you looking for"), he simply stopped speaking English, but instead directly expressed his origin in Mandarin.

"Oh! You can speak Mandarin?" The old man was fluent in his Mandarin, and his old face immediately burst into laughter.

"Wait a moment, I'll go in and greet Mr. Wu." The old man politely welcomed Yang Jing in and said very politely. Yang Jing's appearance, which was changed by the "disguise" skill, played a big role. In this era, Wei Guoren was still very popular in China.

"Thank you, uncle!" Yang Jing said a polite word with a smile.

"Hey! You're welcome, you're welcome! You're so polite..." The old man happily turned around and continued to be polite, while walking quickly inside. After a while, a man in his thirties followed the old man.

When the man saw Yang Jing's appearance, hesitated and asked, "You are..."

"I am Michael Lynch, you must be Pete Wu, right? Mr. Mike Aller should notify you that I am coming to Yanjing to find you?"

When he heard Yang Jing report to his house, Pete Wu suddenly became extremely respectful. Of course he knew that his boss Mike Aller was working for Michael Lynch in front of him, and the one in front of him was the final boss.

Both of them spoke Chinese, and the old man next to him was also shocked. This foreigner who smashed the door early in the morning turned out to be the big boss!

Peter Wu welcomed Yang Jing in very respectfully. After hearing that the boss had arrived, the other three foreigners hurried out from their own houses to meet the mysterious boss.

Along the way, Yang Jing was very satisfied when he saw this newly built yard.

This yard generally retains the architectural style of the traditional courtyard of Yanjing. The main house, east-west wing room, down-sitting room, back-cover room, ear room, and podium room, hanging flower door, eaves and corridor coexist. The four courtyards in front of the main house are all covered with flat stone floors, but there are four small gardens at the four corners of the yard, each with crabapple, magnolia, peony, peony and other flowers and plants, as well as several not-so-large pomegranate and persimmon trees, and there is also a huge locust tree in the middle of the yard.

"Boss, this locust tree was just transplanted this spring. It is said that this locust tree is more than 200 years old. I looked very good at that time and the price was appropriate, so I asked the workers to transplant it." Seeing that the boss was very satisfied with the big locust tree, Pitt Wu explained in a low voice.

Yang Jing nodded with a smile. Of course he was satisfied. Planting an old locust tree of such a big age in this yard has played the finishing touch. Especially this locust tree is not only old, but also has a pretty shape. Although it is winter and there are no leaves on the tree, Yang Jing can also see that once spring and summer, the huge crown of this old locust tree is enough to cover the entire yard.

After standing in the yard for a while, Yang Jing walked into the main room, and as soon as he entered the door, a heat came towards him.

"Is heating installed in the house?" Yang Jing asked.

"Yes, when we rebuilt this yard last year, we followed Mr. Mike Aller's instructions to lay heating pipes under the floor tiles of the room. Then we set up a small coal-fired boiler in the room on the westernmost side of the back room to heat all the rooms in this yard."

Yang Jing nodded again. He proposed this kind of geothermal heating. In this era, Yanjing's warmth had not yet disappeared. Yang Jing didn't want to burn a honeycomb coal stove in this yard, so he simply built a heating system himself.

Yang Jing walked around the other rooms in the main room and found that these houses were not inhabited, so he asked, "Why don't you live in the main room?"

Peter Wu said: "Boss, I am a Chinese. There are some rules in our motherland that cannot be broken casually. For example, only masters like you can live in this main house. We who work can't live in the main house. Anyway, the conditions in the side room are very good, and it's great to live there."

As Pete Wu said, after the rebuilt of this courtyard, the decoration inside was luxurious even in 2017. All the furniture in it was bought from Europe. It cost more than one million US dollars to buy these furniture alone, and all the houses in the courtyard cost two million US dollars just to decorate. Including the two million US dollars spent on rebuilt and the 500,000 US dollars spent on buying a house, the yard costed nearly five million US dollars in total.

This is the five million US dollars in 1981, which is more valuable than the fifty million US dollars in 2007!

Yang Jing wanted to decorate according to the prices of later generations, but in this era, the decoration price of 2 million US dollars was already the top. Unless Yang Jing wanted to be a nouveau riche, use gold and real money to decorate...

Yang Jing doesn't want to be such a tasteless person.

"Peter, you four can live in the main house in the future. You know that I am quite proficient in Chinese civilization. I know that if no one lives in a house like this for a long time, it will be unpopular. So, I don't mind you living in the main house."

Peter Wu nodded and said, "Since you agree that we live in the main house, then the four of us will live in the main house for a period of time every month."

"Go and go to the basement."

Peter Wu immediately led the way in front and led Yang Jing to the house on the eastmost side of the main house.

"Boss, according to Mr. Al's instructions, we opened a basement last year when we rebuilt this courtyard. We originally wanted to build two-story basement, but because the water was too severe, we had to give up the construction plan of the second basement, and only one basement was built. The basement has two entrances. The exit of the downward house is currently closed, and only this exit of the main landlord's ear house is open."

Yang Jing understood that this place was just north of Houhai, and the gate was only more than ten meters away from the north of Houhai. It was indeed a bit difficult to build two-story basement at this location. However, one basement was probably enough. After all, this is a courtyard that is 40 meters wide and more than seventy meters long. Even if the area of ​​the basement is only 70% of the above ground area, it is more than 2,000 square meters.

After Pete Wu walked into the Donger room, he flipped a password lock similar to a safe on the wall, and then opened the safe. There was nothing else inside, only a switch button.

"This is a switch specifically to control the basement door. Currently, only Dwyane and I know the password. Every time we open the basement, we must be present."

A white man in his forties next to him nodded slightly. He just learned by introducing Yang Jing that this is one of Mike Aller's confidants, Dwyane Miller.

After Pitt Wu pressed the switch, accompanied by a low sound of motor running, the roller shutter door of the Donger Room rolled upwards, and on the ground north of the room, a large crack suddenly cracked open, and then the crack that was as wide as the entire room became larger and larger, and a downward slope appeared in front of Yang Jing.

After the floor doors were all opened, Pete Wu walked in first, and Yang Jing followed him in. As soon as he entered, he could hear a "buzzing" sound in the basement, as if some kind of equipment was running.

"Boss, the total area of ​​this basement is 2,275 square meters, with a height of 3.2 meters. The ground, top and four walls are poured from reinforced concrete walls up to 70 centimeters thick. There are two layers of waterproof layers inside. The entire top is supported by 32 reinforced concrete columns. In addition, eight high-power dehumidifiers are also installed in the basement, which are running continuously for 24 hours to keep the basement dry. The antiques and cultural relics I have purchased from Yanjing and other regions in the past two years are all placed in the basement."

This basement is very large, in the middle and four corners, each with a large cement concrete wall connecting the ground and the ceiling, as if something is isolated inside.

When she saw Yang Jing looking there, Peter Wu explained: "Because plants need to be planted in the yard, especially the transplanted big locust tree, the area for planting flowers and trees was reserved in advance when building the basement. Those five areas are the places reserved."

The basement doesn't feel damp at all, but on the contrary it also has a very dry feeling, and it doesn't feel that it's in the basement. This is enough to prove that this huge basement has done a good job of moisture-proofing.

The old items that Pete Wu bought in the past two years are all placed in several rooms separated by a separate entrance to the Donger House!
