How many old garden houses are there in Shanghai now? Where can I find information about these old houses?

Wu Kang Road is a quiet road in Shanghai West District. On the morning of August 9th, Zhao Jianping, the general manager of Stanford Housing Replacement Company, took four agents to take photos on this street to register, which in their jargon means "sweeping the street", that is, looking for a house. Stanford Company just opened its first store in this street on August 1, and it is the only company in Shanghai that specializes in buying, selling and leasing used houses.

There are more than 400 families living in this small street less than 3000 meters, including 100 old garden houses. And the owners of these old houses have been prominent for a while. Huang Xing lived in No.393 and died here on June 3rd1916+1October 3rd1. Tang lives at No.40 Lane 1. He was the first Prime Minister of Yuan Shikai's government. Chen and Chen Lifu live at No.2 and No.67, Lane 105, respectively, which are more than 100 meters apart. Now there are several old employees of the former Agricultural Bank of China. The big class of Zhengguanghe Alkali Factory lives at No.99; John Calvin Ferguson, a Canadian living at No.390, used to be a supervisor of the Advanced Technical College (the predecessor of Shanghai Jiaotong University) and the owner of News. Before liberation, Wu Kang Road was called John Calvin Ferguson Road.

"The profit from selling real estate may not be as good as selling old houses." Chen Zaochun, chairman of Stanford Company, told reporters. In Chen Zaochun's view, the short Wu Kang Road is simply a cornucopia. "If you count the nearby Hunan Road, Xinhua Road and Huaihai Middle Road, there are more than 300 sets of old garden houses here." Chen Zaochun, 32, is also the founder of "I love my family", the largest chain house leasing company in China. He started buying and selling old houses in Shanghai from 65438 to 0995. Sitting in his BMW X5 jeep, he pointed to the house he had traded. In recent years, he has sold 100 sets of old houses, not counting rental. The latest big deal was an old house on Wanping Road where Rong Yiren lived for 50 million yuan. If calculated according to the 3.5% commission commonly used in the industry, a transaction can raise a commission of 6.5438+0.75 million yuan. "In addition, this is a circular market. If I buy a house, I may sell it again, buy it back for packaging, and make a lot of money. "

In fact, most intermediaries do not necessarily have departments specializing in building houses, but they will never let go of the building business. "The commission for making a business will often reach more than 6.5438+0 million yuan, which is more than the sum of a store's annual profits." Kevin Z, manager of Yuyuan Store of Shanghai Housing Replacement Co., Ltd. said.

"As of 1949, there are more than 5,000 old garden houses in Shanghai, covering an area of more than 3 million square meters. Most of them are hidden in ordinary alleys. " Lou, director of the archives of Shanghai Modern Architectural Design (Group) Co., Ltd., told the reporter. In terms of price, garden houses and commercial houses are completely two concepts. "Last week, someone asked me which houses I could buy." Lou Cheng Hao said: "I told him that you should prepare100000 first." At present, the price of Shanghai old villa is 654.38+0 to 30 thousand per square meter, and the total price will often reach 20 million to 30 million. "Now the top floor of the World Trade Center can be sold for 35 million yuan." Shao Fei, manager of 2 1 century real estate Shanghai Deyou franchise store, said, "Shanghai's housing prices are rising. Why can't garden houses be sold more expensive? "

If we simply calculate, the average price of 5,000 houses10,000 yuan, the total value will be an astronomical figure. However, the market prospect of the old villa is not so simple. "The biggest bottleneck in the market is property rights," Sun Yi said. He is the planning manager of Shanghai Dahua Group. Garden houses in Shanghai have experienced several historical stages, such as private property, state-owned assets, confiscation during the Cultural Revolution and policy implementation. There were not many owners alive at the beginning, and those with inheritance relationships fell everywhere. Most of the property rights still belong to the government, but the users are both government agencies, institutions and ordinary residents. Property rights relations are extremely complicated. Shao Fei said that only 40 or 50 sets of garden houses with clear property rights can be circulated.

The problem of property rights and property rights also puzzles investors. Can the return be protected? Lu Chuanhui, an architect from Taiwan Province Province, was an early investor in Shanghai Old House. 1999 obtained the lease of "the first mansion in the Far East" and "Green House" 10, with an annual rent of/kloc-0.28 million yuan, and promised to invest 5-6 million yuan to maintain and protect the house. "Because it is a cultural relics unit, the government will hold a demonstration meeting. During this period, the rent was paid, but I couldn't work at all. " He rented out the first and second floors at a monthly rent of 200,000 yuan, but the owner Shanghai Planning Institute objected. At present, Lu Chuanhui has confiscated four months' rent. If it is normal, Lu Chuanhui can earn more than 1 10,000 rent every year, but he still feels that he has lost money.

Who moved Li Hongzhang's garden?

Li Hongzhang, an important official in the late Qing Dynasty, not only started the Westernization Movement and founded the Beiyang Navy, but also left a lilac garden for future generations. Lilac Garden is the best house in the old garden in Shanghai. The garden alone covers an area of 26,600 square meters, with a total construction area of 2,934 square meters. A Huashan Road divides the Lilac Garden into two blocks. At present, the east is the activity center of Shanghai veteran cadres. Hong Kong businessmen rented a building near the door and opened the Shen Yuexuan restaurant. The western district is now renamed "Lilac Mountain Villa".

Two years ago, Chen Zaochun, the president of "I love my family", signed an eight-year lease contract with the housing management department, and rented the western area of Lilac Garden, including a villa and a lawn with an area of 1000 square meters. "Then I invested more than 6.5438+million yuan, built four new villas in the garden and rented them to foreigners together with the old houses." Chen Zaochun told reporters, "This place has been renamed Lilac Villa accordingly."

Chen Zaochun can get 6 million yuan rent from each house every year. According to Chen Zaochun, in May this year, the plot was sold to Shanghai Datong Real Estate Company at a price of 65.438+0.6 billion yuan, and Datong Company terminated its lease relationship with Chen. "At the same time, Datong Company wants the tenants to move out, so the losses of me and those tenants are compensated by Datong Company."

Regarding whether this "breach of contract" is a loss or a gain, Chen Zaochun said: "I am a businessman. In addition to the liquidated damages I have to pay to those tenants, of course I have to make money. " Judging from the current market, the income of this business should far exceed the100000 yuan invested by Chen Zaochun at that time. "I'm not sure what's the use of Datong company buying this villa. I heard that the villas built two years ago have to be pushed, leaving only the old houses, and it is also possible to store this land or use it for mortgage loans. "

Chen Zaochun, who graduated from the Economics Department of Fudan University, began to set foot in the garden house agency business from 65438 to 0995. "At the beginning, the policy restrictions were very strict, and it was strictly forbidden to buy or sell. The only channel can only be leasing. I used to be a broker in a real estate agency, a high-end customer and a high-quality customer. On the other hand, I am familiar with Shanghai, so I began to look for some old houses in this market, rent them out and sublet them to foreigners at high prices. With the economic development momentum getting better and better, more and more multinational institutions have entered Shanghai, and such houses are almost in short supply. " Chen Zaochun told reporters.

1998 In the second half of the year, Chen went to Beijing to do the second-hand housing market and the housing rental market, and continued to develop Stanford Company, focusing on the housing rental market. In April 2000, "I love my family" Housing Replacement Co., Ltd. was established. It has developed into the largest house leasing company in two years, and currently has more than 400 chain stores in China.

After Beijing's business got on the right track, Chen Zaochun returned to Shanghai to continue his villa business. According to his statistics, among all customers who buy old houses, enterprises only account for 20% and individuals account for 80%. In terms of renting old houses, enterprises account for 70% and individuals account for 30%. Eighty-nine percent of customers use the old houses they bought or rented as their houses, especially the buyers from Taiwan Province Province and Hongkong, and overseas Chinese and Southeast Asian businessmen are also the main force.

For the business of foreign houses, Stanford is not limited to leasing and buying and selling. There are 9 garden houses where No.889 Julu Road is located, which were originally built by Asian oil companies in the 1920s. According to Zhao Jianping, manager of Stanford Company, they are cooperating with Jing 'an District Government to transform this 12 English conjoined villa into a comprehensive consumer and entertainment center, which is temporarily named Julu Road European Leisure Street. "The total investment in the first phase of property rights replacement and the second phase of overall environmental transformation is about 654.38+0.46 billion yuan." Zhao Jianping said.

Shanghai old house map

"The earliest Western-style building in Shanghai appeared in 1872, which was built by the British Consulate in the decade of Tongzhi in the Qing Dynasty. 1895 began to form a certain scale of garden houses. The more accurate name of the garden house should be' single-family house'. Before liberation, there were currently more than 5,000 buildings with more than 3 million square meters, of which only high-grade garden houses had an area of 6,543,800 square meters. " Lou Cheng Hao, director of the archives of Shanghai Modern Architectural Design (Group) Co., Ltd., said in an interview, "The earliest owners were all military and political dignitaries, big businessmen and celebrities. These people are more likely to absorb foreign cultures in Shanghai and like to be unconventional. It can be said that these ancient garden houses were all internationally popular styles at that time, and there were also some works by masters, including Hudak and Essex. Rogers. "

The layout of garden houses is generally facing south and the foundation is square. Cedar and cypress trees are planted in front of the house, and there is often a lawn in the middle. A marble statue or fountain is set as the center of the garden, and a pond is set in the distance to reflect the trees. The front side of the main house has a terrace and high steps, and the back is a low floor, even connected to the interior, separated only by large glass windows. The northwest corner of the main house is often connected with the "lower room" or garage, and there is also a greenhouse or heating greenhouse. In later luxurious garden houses, swimming pools and tennis courts were added. "Shanghai old villa has rich architectural styles, including European, American, Russian, Spanish and Japanese; There are both luxurious and solemn European Renaissance styles, as well as bright, lively and free country villas and modern styles. " Yan said.

According to preliminary statistics, garden houses are mainly distributed in four central urban areas: Xuhui District accounts for 39%, Changning District accounts for 29%, Luwan District accounts for 9%, and Jing 'an District accounts for 8%. "Shanghai developed from east to west, and the Happy Valley Hall was moved three times: from Henan Middle Road to Hebei Road to People's Square, all of them moved to the west." Lou Cheng Hao pointed to the map and said, "The earliest western architecture was on the Huangpu River, and later it was bounded by Tibet Middle Road. Garden houses are mainly concentrated in the west of this road, along the main roads such as Nanjing Road, Yan 'an East Road and Huaihai Middle Road, and distributed from east to west. In addition, many garden houses are built on both sides of the cross-border road construction area, such as Liyang Road, Duolun Road, Huashan Road, Yuyuan Road and Hongqiao Road. "Fenyang Road, Taiyuan Road, Yuyuan Road, Wu Kang Road, Hunan Road, Sinan Road, Changle Road, Huashan Road, Xingguo Road and Maoming Road are the most concentrated areas of old houses. Politicians live in Xuhui District, businessmen live in Yuyuan Road and Huashan Road, and intellectuals and technical elites are mainly concentrated in Luwan District. After liberation, most garden houses were nationalized as bureaucratic capital.

"At present, there are more than 20 houses on the list of key cultural relics in Shanghai, and the status quo of garden houses is not optimistic." Lou Cheng Hao said that more than a dozen houses in Huaihai West Road 1478 that he had been to were badly eaten by termites. "The government lacks sufficient funds to maintain all buildings. In this case, renting or selling a batch of properties can attract private funds to protect more buildings. "

In fact, the old houses that can be maintained in time are only a small part. Kevin Z, manager of Yuyuan Store of Shanghai Housing Replacement Co., Ltd., told reporters about a 20 million yuan business they had done: "The owner is an old lady in her 60 s.. She has lived in this villa for too long and wants to live in a high-rise by the river. The autumn rain in Shanghai is always sudden, which makes it too late for her to close the window that will splash rain and block the leaking ceiling. There are clouds of yellow water stains on the ceiling, and the rest of the water flows along the wall to the root of the wall, forming a small pool-because the early wooden floor has rotted into holes of different sizes. Her washbasin, buckets and even cups never seem to be enough, and they all come in handy in rainy autumn. The old lady only believes in cash. After lunch on the day of the payment transaction, she invited all the buyers and brokers to her home, carefully counted the 20 million yuan in cash on her floor, and there was no counterfeit money. Then she handed in the key and went out to call a taxi and left. "

Property right disorder

Yuyuan Road/No.3/KLOC-0 1654381is currently the Children's Palace in Changning District, with Gothic architecture and Spanish style in some areas. It is three stories high and has an extraordinary momentum. This was originally the private residence of Wang Boqun, Minister of Communications of the National Government, which was built at 1934. 1940, this villa belongs to Wang Jingwei, and Chen Gongbo and Zhou Fohai once lived here. After the victory of the Anti-Japanese War, the original owner died, and when his wife Bao Zhining returned to Shanghai, the property had been taken over by the Kuomintang Military Bureau. Why did Bao Zhining ask his in-laws to intercede? 1947 rented the house to the Information Office of the British Consulate in China. 1949 After the liberation of Shanghai in May, this villa was used by military organs and later served as the office of Changning District Committee. 1960 became the Children's Palace in Changning District.

"Almost all the most famous old houses in Shanghai have experienced property rights replacement," said Sun Yi, manager of the planning department of Dahua Group. "This turbulent change has led to a series of congenital problems in the current garden house market." The most important question is which houses can be traded?

According to Sun Yi, there are three states of the property right of the old villa. After liberation, the assets of the former national government, bureaucratic capital and reactionary leaders were nationalized and became state-owned assets, which were managed by housing management bureaus at all levels and mostly used by government agencies and institutions at all levels. In addition, the Donghu Hotel under the municipal government also operates many top properties such as Qiandu Building and Mahler Building. The foreign affairs housing service company represented more than ten old houses such as Zhang Xueliang's residence and rented them to foreign embassies and consulates in Shanghai. The property of national capitalists has been protected. Some houses were nationalized by the government in public-private partnerships, while others were still privately owned. However, it was confiscated during the Cultural Revolution and returned to the original owner or given compensation after implementing the policy. "There are two situations. One is that the policy is thoroughly implemented and the real estate is acquired by the heir. The other one is not thorough enough. Due to historical reasons, it is difficult for other residents to move out of the house. Residents have the right to use the house, but the owner can't accept the cheap rent of the residents, which forms the contradiction among the state, the owner and the lessee. It is a legacy of history. "

"Old houses belonging to state-owned assets are basically not sold, or only rented or not sold. If it is sold, it must be strictly approved by the Housing Authority. In principle, church assets can be sold, but the procedures are very complicated and need the approval of religious associations. The policy is not fully implemented, it cannot be listed, and the property rights are not clean enough; Only completely private houses can be traded. " Sun Wei said.

Even private houses with clean property rights have operational difficulties. 2 1 Century Real Estate Shao Fei, manager of Shanghai Deyou Franchise Store, said: "The property right of this real estate was broken by people. At first, many masters are no longer alive, and he will have many heirs. The house can only be sold if all the heirs agree. When selling garden houses, it is often necessary to prepare several signature houses when making a deal. Some heirs don't want to go back abroad to sign, and they need information notarization to go through the entrustment procedures. It often happens that the economic conditions among heirs are unbalanced, and the eldest brother is rich and the younger brother is poor. Some people think that selling a house is a black sheep, but some people need money. " Even so, it is necessary to find out whether the house has been sealed up by the court and mortgaged in the bank. In these cases, the transaction is impossible.

For Chen Zaochun, the biggest risk is that the property right relationship is "unclear". He used to run a house, which was uninhabited after liberation and nationalized. However, after the sale, the heir suddenly came to us from overseas, and he had to pay a large sum of money again. "Almost every villa has different property rights complexity, which depends on our investigation ability." Zhao Jianping said, "There are many companies competing for a villa. Whoever clarifies the property rights of the villa can win the villa in advance. We have a special support department to deal with the Housing Authority and government departments, and generally can get the background of foreign houses as quickly as possible. If it is a house with only the right to use, such as a house occupied by an administrative unit, it must first become a house with property rights. We can help him complete this process, but the specific trade fair will be agreed before. "

It is not easy to get a house with "clean" property rights, and many times you have to do it yourself. Shao Fei told reporters that a Taiwanese businessman took a fancy to a garden villa on Yongjia Road, but there were eight families. He first found a job for each household, bought back their right to use, concentrated eight right to use into one right to use, paid the land transfer fee to obtain unified property rights, and then sold the house at120,000 yuan. In fact, his relocation cost is only 6 million yuan. If one of the links is not well discussed, all the efforts will be in vain.

Generally speaking, the operation cycle of garden houses is also very long, which takes 6 ~ 12 months.

The "chewing head" of price

How many houses can be circulated in the market? According to Shao Fei's experience, there are generally only 40 ~ 50 sets in one stage. "Due to historical reasons, houses with clean property rights are rare." . Usually, when a house is released, agents will flock to it. "The value of the old garden villa lies in its small amount. Buy one and get one free." That thing which is rare is dear. At present, the price of Shanghai old villa is 1 to 30,000 square meters, and the total price of a house with a room area of 700 square meters and a garden of 500 square meters is 25 million to 30 million.

"The price of garden houses is very flexible and there is no frame of reference." Sun Yi said, "The location is different, the history is different, and the price will be very different. Usually, the larger the area, the higher the price, because it is more likely to be developed for commercial use. The house on Taiyuan Road is definitely more expensive than that on Huaihai Road because it is quieter. "

At present, the price of garden houses is generally determined according to the transaction price of houses with similar sections and areas. Dahua Assets Appraisal Co., Ltd. is an appraisal company specializing in the appraisal of old houses in Shanghai. Li, chairman of the company, said in an interview: "This is also a house with millions and tens of millions. Buying an old house is different from buying a new building like Wangjiang Mansion. The main angles of viewing the house are: human history, emotion, style and so on. To evaluate the value of a villa, the first thing is to look at the location and be close to the city center. Whether as investment or self-occupation, lots are extremely important for old houses. Look at the size of the area, no garden is not a house. A top-class house will have at least one block and a big lawn. The bigger the lawn, the bigger the land area and the higher the price coefficient. The precipitation of history and culture is even more important. Most of the old houses used to be places where important people in history lived, and they were prominent for a while. They were originally built by celebrities and have changed hands several times in the past decades. For example, Huang once lived in a villa on Xingye Road. He was Chiang Kai-shek's teacher. With such a story, the price is endless. The old villa attaches great importance to the quiet environment and the independent small courtyard style. It is best to be surrounded by tall French phoenix trees, which will add a lot of color to the old villa. If there are tall buildings around, the value will be greatly reduced. Huxing structure also determines the value of the house. Keep it intact inside and outside. After decades, it will be a bit shabby outside, and it is this feeling that is valuable. "

The internal details of the old villa also have a great influence on the price. "The highest photogenic rate is actually the corner, especially the included angle between walls. Only these places can reflect the depth of the house. The terrace is also a must-see, commanding, and the garden and surrounding environment are unobstructed. " Li said that the old details in the villa are also very valuable, such as the rusty doorknob of Runsheng old house in the north of Nanyang Road, the dragon on the roof, the carved dragon playing beads on the stairs, the Shou Xingtu and trapezoidal column corners on the wall, all of which are very interesting to the housekeepers. "A friend in the United States said that if the old bar in this villa is torn down and sold in new york, it can sell at least 65,438.

Medium and long-term investment

In the eyes of many real estate agents, it is not a problem for buyers to get housing. Property buyers are basically divided into two categories, owner-occupiers and investors. Shao Fei once accompanied an old Swiss overseas Chinese to see the house on Fenyang Road. "He showed me the place where I wanted to go to primary school. Money is not a problem for him. He has a budget of tens of millions, and now he would rather spend more than 10 thousand rent every month than buy a house again. "

In the personal consumption market, overseas Chinese are the main force. Dtz? Pan-city (China) comprehensive residential service company has done a customer survey. Wu Shaocong, executive director, said that foreigners accounted for 70%, and customers from other Hong Kong, Macao and Taiwan, other provinces and cities and Shanghai accounted for the remaining 30%. Only 13.3% customers have lived in villa property for more than 1 year, which can be called "experienced customers".

In addition, large companies are also chasers of old houses, and this kind of consumption has a strong investment. "Buying a house is also an investment in real estate. When you get a mortgage from a bank, the price will only be overvalued and will not be underestimated, which will bring good cash flow to the company. " Sun Wei said. In Wu Shaocong's view, investing in old houses is different from investing in ordinary real estate. It does not rely on frequent transactions to realize its investment value, but needs to have enough patience and confidence to grasp its value-added like investing in art, and should have enough time to preserve its value.

The investment value of the villa lies not only in the timing and vision of the acquisition, but also in the subsequent decoration, which affects the rent and resale price. The general principle is to keep the old as it is, plus modern facilities. Zhao Jianping said that water, electricity, gas pipelines and instruments should be replaced with new ones. As a necessary maintenance, it is best to ask a professional to clean it, and if necessary, brush a paint close to its true color. Steel windows generally do not need to be replaced, and copper handles and bolts are also part of the taste of old houses and should be kept as much as possible; The wooden window is old, and the outward side should retain its original color. Just polish the old floor, coat it with primer and wax it. The kitchen should be the style of the whole kitchen, and the old style is more interesting. It's best to raise the bottom layer to prevent moisture. Generally, the gardens of old houses have a long history and lush growth in precious trees, and they also need daily maintenance by professional companies. "If you are not careful, you can't sell the house at a good price."

Sun Yi told reporters that according to the current market, a 400-square-meter garden house on Taiyuan Road can be rented for 1 1 000 yuan a month, with a minimum of 9,000 yuan. "Many factors determine the dominant position of the old villa in the market, which is still an indisputable fact in the short term." Li said that the old villa is an "antique" of real estate, and its resilience is very strong. With repeated transactions and changing hands, its various conditions will continue to improve and enhance the value of the whole house, so investors may wish to hold the old villa in the "medium and long term".

Gu Chuanhui and "The First House in the Far East"

Gu Chuanhui is a Taiwanese businessman who invested in garden houses in Shanghai earlier. His parents are both from Shanghai. 1997 entered the mainland to do building materials business and used to be an architectural designer. 1999 One day, when Gu Chuanhui passed Beijing West Road and Tongren Road by car, he saw "a beautiful green arc". He stopped the car and ran to see it. It's a four-story green curved building, like a cruise ship. "I have telepathy with this building, and I think this is an extraordinary work. At that time, I also rented a garden house in Jiangsu. I have seen many houses in Shanghai, which are basically shear wall colonial buildings, and this house is a beam-column structure and a new building. " Four years later, Gu Chuanhui sat in the arc area that shocked him that year and recalled his first impression, still excited.

Later, Gu Chuanhui checked the information and found that this was the former residence of Wu, the king of Shanghai pigments. Wu is the son-in-law of rich businessman Bei Runsheng and the uncle of architect I.M. Pei. Wu Wentong asked Hungarian architect Hudac to design a house for him. This is Hudac's last work in Shanghai. When it was completed at 1938, Hudak assured Wu that it would not be outdated even at 100. This green house was called "the first mansion in the Far East" at that time, with elevators, air conditioning, floor heating and a boiler room. "Shanghai International Hotel was designed by Hudec and has been the tallest building in Asia for more than 40 years. I.M. Pei also said that she was deeply influenced by Hudec." Gu Chuanhui said, "Hudac likes to use arcs. The stairs and ceiling of this house are designed with many arcs, even if the elevators are all lotus leaf-shaped; I.M. Pei also likes geometric figures, acute angles and cones. This should be their teacher-student relationship. "

During the "Cultural Revolution", this mansion was used by the Shanghai Tricycle Union and placed under the Shanghai Planning Institute. Later, the Planning Institute built a new building next to it, and this garden house became a photo studio. When Gu Chuanhui knocked at the door, there were only two workers in the room, and the air was filled with the stench of Harmonia potion. "It can only be described in two words-broken, most of the glass is broken, the air conditioner is hanging outside in a mess, and there is an artificial fortification exit with white tiles in the garden." Gu Chuanhui wanted to buy a house, but he was not allowed. Finally, he got the lease of 10 at an annual rent of10.28 million yuan, and promised to spend 5-6 million yuan to maintain the house. "My idea at that time was simple. I thought I was from Shanghai and should preserve this excellent building. "

However, the subsequent development made Gu Chuanhui unexpected. "Because it is an excellent building in Shanghai, the repair must be approved by the Cultural Management Committee, the Real Estate Bureau and the Planning Bureau. Every department and expert has a set of theories; The seminar has been going on for two years. I pay more than 6.5438 million yuan in rent every year, but I can't start work. " Gu Chuanhui said, "I'm a businessman. I want to do business." By 200 1, the house decoration was finally completed. He paid 40,000 yuan to dismantle the entrance of the civil air defense project, built his own bedroom on the fourth floor, set up a company on the third floor, and opened Internet cafes on the first and second floors. "It used to be the most luxurious Internet cafe in Shanghai. I used Compaq's mainframe and LCD monitor for 20 yuan an hour. I don't understand this line. A year later, the Internet cafe closed and I lost 5 million. "

The "green house" has a history of more than 70 years, and the house has serious water seepage. Gu Chuanhui rebuilt the waterproof layer of the roof, but the housing management department did not agree to clean the facade, and the problem of wall leakage could not be solved. "There are many small cracks in the wall. How to solve it without removing tiles? The steel bars have rusted. " Gu Chuanhui said he was lying upstairs. Whenever a big car passes by, he will feel the room shaking. "How long can you shake it?" I don't know. Maybe it only has 20 years to live. "

1999 is the bottom of the Shanghai property market, and 200 1 starts to rise all the way. In 2002, Gu Chuanhui rented the first and second floors to a Singaporean businessman and opened a restaurant called Sunny Days. The monthly rent is 200,000, and the lease term is 5 years. However, the landlord planning institute objected to Gu's subletting behavior. At present, "Sunny Day" has stopped paying Gu Chuanhui's rent for four months.

What puzzles Gu Chuanhui most is that he wants to spend 1.2 million yuan to repair the elevator, but the protection units worry too much. "Even the labor department has to take care of it, and the responsibility is scary. I have more than one thing to do now. "
