The early morning in the old capital is full of fireworks. Bicycles are constantly shuttling on the streets, people are shouting in front of the food stalls, and the charming or disgusting smell of bean juice is everywhere...

A group of aunts were chatting about their parents' shortcomings, and several uncles were returning from a walk. Little friends wearing red scarves were jumping around, and a group of young men and women wearing military coats whizzed past...

I don’t know if it’s collective brain damage, but in recent years, old-fashioned military uniforms have become popular again. The streets and alleys are either army green or navy blue. Even if you can’t get a military coat at home, you have to get a loose one.

Put on military pants?

And fashionable girls have also become popular with leggings, and wear them openly? They don’t look away, and they proudly receive the attention from all around, which is simply... secretly refreshing!

This situation made Li Yuan's eyes wander wildly. The other country bumpkins were collectively turned to stone. They all looked straight and couldn't help but salivate.

…

"Drip bell bell!"

A bicycle braked suddenly and stopped in front of Li Yuan and the others. Sitting on it was a young man who thought he was twenty-five or six years old: "Xiao Li, have you finished your breakfast?"

"It's finished. I'm waiting for you."

"Then come with me and I'll take you to see the house. It's in the Liangjia Hutong in front."

"..."

Living in Beijing is not easy. Just like decades later, the first thing that needs to be solved is the housing problem.

After arriving in the capital that night, Li Yuan and the others first found a hotel. Maybe others could make do with it, but Li Yuan really couldn't bear it. He had to stay in a guest room with a separate bathroom, even a simple standard room.

.

This Haixi Hotel is also a foreign-related hotel. In addition to foreign guests, the remaining guests here are very few people with status. Such as cadres above the department level, reporters, celebrities, etc. Anyway, there are no idle guests!

People like Li Yuan... must be Bai Ding. No matter how rich you are, it's useless. To be honest, in fact, being a famous writer like Brother Yuan can be used. The status of writers in this era is very high. But yours

What about the membership certificate of the Writers Association? There is no way to prove it.

In desperation, Li Yuan could only rent two luxury suites on the spot for a long period of time as...offices! Ahem.

Something needs to be explained here. In this era, nationals and foreign guests, state-owned enterprises and foreign enterprises are completely two different systems.

Foreign guests must use foreign currency in China, or at least exchange it for foreign exchange coupons. And they must go to designated shopping malls or consumption places. You should all know this. The place where you live must also be a foreign-related hotel. If you want to buy real estate, there are also dedicated hotels

Export commercial housing...

Maybe the people in China are still very envious. The foreign guests go to high-end places, and they are like the best!

But for foreign guests, they are sometimes more painful. After all, the consumption in these places is extremely high, but it is not possible to spend money outside? Can't you enjoy the kind of civilian consumption that domestic people can enjoy?

This makes it inevitable to complain, we foreigners are just pigs! Do you think we are all stupid pigs?

Maybe this is some kind of siege!

The same is true for foreign companies. Foreign companies cannot recruit workers from the public and must go through foreign service companies. This should be the earliest labor dispatch company, right?

So when I could go to foreign companies, they were all temporary workers. (Laughing and crying)

There is also office space. Except for joint venture manufacturers, foreign companies must work in foreign-related business buildings. In other words, renting other office spaces is not allowed at all.

However, the question arises - how many foreign companies have entered China? At least set up an office in Beijing? The few foreign-related business buildings in Beijing district simply cannot meet the huge demand of foreign companies. If they want to build one, there is no time to build it?

In the end, we compromised and came up with a workaround - we could rent a room in a foreign-related hotel on a long-term basis and use it as an office space for foreign companies.

Li Yuan took advantage of this rule. Of course, the more important thing was that he gave too much foreign exchange!

Note: There is no use for soft girl coins here, the key is foreign exchange!

Li Yuan took advantage of the foreign company status of those companies and rented two luxury suites here.

In this regard, Haixi Hotel is relatively flexible. The procedures can be completed slowly later, and local registration in Beijing can also be carried out slowly. As long as there is a contract and the foreign exchange is seen.

In addition, a hole was opened, allowing Li Yuan and others to stay here for a few days.

Of course, Bai Ding has no human rights, that is, even if he lives here for a few days, he still needs to move out as soon as possible. After all, foreign companies are foreign companies, and you people are still Bai Ding! You are allowed to work here, but you must not stay here!

Under such circumstances, the problem of renting a house can only be solved as soon as possible.

But the problem comes again. At this time, there are no real estate agencies at all, and I don’t know where to rent? There are no conditions and requirements, and I can’t even find the housing information?

Fortunately, there were many local aboriginal employees in the hotel. When Lin Xuan heard about it, he took the initiative to introduce a place to Li Yuan and the others.

Lin Xuan led Li Yuan and the others to an alley, turned left and right, and came to a gray-black door: "Xiao Li, you need a place for four people to live. It needs at least four bedrooms, and it must be able to be used as a home.

In addition, there is a parking space. So this place is more suitable. This used to be the dormitory of the street factory. I just went there to get the key. Their factory director and my third uncle are very good friends. If you have any conditions, just ask, their street factory

I will definitely be satisfied..."

While talking, Lin Xuan took out the key and opened the door.

Li Yuan and the others walked into the door with Lin Xuan. What a guy!

Looking at the layout of this place, it should have been a warehouse originally, but it was later divided into many small rooms and turned into dormitories. There must be no furniture or anything, the ground is dusty, and there are a lot of spider webs in the corners?

The only advantage is that there are many rooms and the place is large enough. But it is definitely not a good place to live.

"This was originally a staff dormitory?"

This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Lin Xuan said cheerfully: "The factories are gone, so there is no need for dormitories. But people can live here after tidying up. The street can also help apply for liquefied gas.

There is a small door at the back that leads to the factory. There is a large space there that can park several cars. Xiao Li, the main reason is that your requirements are too high. It is not easy to find a place like this."

Okay... let's solve any problems first. Anyway, it's just a transition period for a few days, and we will definitely move out in the future.

As for being more dilapidated? Aren't there three grown men around me? But having said that, there were no commercial houses at all during this period, so it was pretty good to find a place to stay.

Through the small door at the back, Lin Xuan followed Lin Xuan to the factory. Production here has also been discontinued, and all the equipment inside has been demolished. Only piles of garbage are left.

Lin Xuan asked half-jokingly: "Xiao Li, do you want to rent this place? I heard that you sell agricultural products, and it would be a good warehouse for transportation. And there is an alley courtyard in front, and the factory gate in the back faces the main road?"

"

Li Yuan was happy. Although this place is relatively "remote" and belongs to the "rural area" a little inside the third ring road, how can it be possible to build a warehouse in the future? Real estate is about the same. The logistics center will have to be outside the fifth or sixth ring road.

Looking around, he saw that the place was indeed quite spacious. Li Yuan asked half-jokingly, "Are you going to sell it? There's no point in renting it."

Hearing Li Yuan's joke, Lin Xuan laughed and said: "The land is owned by the state. This is the collective property right of the street. Generally, it is only rented to outsiders and not sold."

To be honest, in the street offices of big cities like Beijing, all of them are big landowners, and their hands are cramped every year in collecting rent. But generally they will never do takeout.

"Brother Lin, that's it! We've just rented this place, and we have to apply for a temporary residence permit later."

"Okay! Just wait a minute, I'll call someone right away."

"..."

In this era, it is not easy to be a drifter from the north. If foreigners want to live in Beijing and other cities for a long time, they must apply for a temporary residence permit. Otherwise, if they are caught, they will be deported as a blind drifter.

Regarding the repatriation system, it seems that there were many criticisms from all parties, and later this policy was abolished.

In fact, the temporary residence permit is not expensive and is relatively easy to apply for. It can be processed at the public security bureau and only costs 2 yuan per person per month.

Of course, subsequent urbanization has brought big cities into a period of rapid construction, with waves of migrant workers moving bricks on construction sites everywhere. Police stations in some places can even earn millions in temporary residence permit fees every year?

You know, government agencies like police stations rely on financial allocations. Even purchasing a pencil and paper is borne by the finance, and you don't need to spend any money at all.

So the police station in a certain city was so rich that they were so overwhelmed with money that they simply bought a complete set of mahogany furniture? The chief was so angry that he cursed the chief! (laughing and crying)

But on the other hand, it seems that it should be easier to apply for a temporary residence permit, but there are two requirements: one is to have a fixed place of residence. It is also OK to live at the construction site, or it is OK for the nanny to live in the owner's house, but there must be a fixed place; the other is

Stable work is required.

In fact, many migrant workers cannot meet these two very simple requirements. Therefore, in groups like Beidiao, many people just hold their own student ID cards. Even after graduation, they still keep them with them.

This is just like the ancient road guide system, where scholars can enjoy certain preferential treatment. The same is true for students today, and they do not need a temporary residence permit.

In the end, there were countless literary youths in Beidiao!

…

Ten minutes later, Lin Xuan accompanied a middle-aged man in his forties over and introduced Li Yuan: "Xiao Li, this is Section Chief Yun of the subdistrict office."

"Hello, hello. Do you want to rent this place? Is the price agreed upon?"

"That's right. Hello, Chief Yun. Do you need more care from you in the future?"

"It should, it should. I heard that you are in the agricultural products business?"

"It's just some wild things from the mountains. It's nothing." Jiao Qian said, and Li Yuan didn't want to explain anything more, "Oh, I just happened to bring a lot of things this time. Brother Lin will help me later. Let's go together.

Send it here. Chief Yun, there's nothing expensive, just something fresh to eat."

While at home, Li Yuan and the others went to the mountains several times, and at the end of the year the village caught several large nets, so this time they brought a lot of mountain catches with them. Fortunately, it is already freezing in the north.

, putting it outdoors is like putting it in a large refrigerator. There is no fear of things getting damaged. Besides, let Li Yuan and the other men cook by themselves? That would be like killing them.

Section Chief Yun understood what Li Yuan meant, and his smile became much more enthusiastic: "No need to be so polite, no need to send it away."

"Why not? If I am free tonight, I would like to have a few drinks with you. We have just arrived in the capital and would like to ask you for advice."

"..."

After a few polite words, the two quickly signed the rental contract. Nowadays, rental contracts are quite simple. They just write the amount and date.

After signing, Section Chief Yun kindly reminded: "Xiao Li, there is already an intention in this area, and it may be assigned to other companies in the future. Maybe three or five years later, maybe one year. So you have to do it early.
To be continued...
