Chapter 581 The Age of Freedom
House prices fell?

It is estimated that when someone sees these four words, they will definitely curse: Are you afraid you are living in a dream?
How could house prices fall?

100 years, 1 years, never fall!

Other commodities are likely to fall, but housing prices are impossible!

It can only rise to 50, 100 million, or even higher!

but……

No matter how firm the beliefs of those who hold the theory of "perpetual rise in housing prices", housing prices have really fallen.

The decline is still quite a lot.

First-tier cities fell by an average of 30%, second- and third-tier cities by 35%, and fourth-tier cities by 20%.

And these declines are about half a year after the "robot revolution" broke out.

In the next year or two, there is still the possibility of continued decline.

根据专家预测：未来的全国房价，一线城市维持在15000-20000每平的区间，二三线城市7000-10000，四线城市4000-5000的均价。

Compared with the current housing prices or even two years ago, these prices can be called "onion prices".

The era of high housing prices is coming.

A lot of people see this, and probably can’t stand it anymore, author, wake up, stop writing these nonsense things, the house price you marked is missing a 0 at the end!

But in the world in this book, housing prices have indeed fallen, plummeting, and many developers and real estate speculators have lost everything.

In the media, there are news of real estate speculators jumping off buildings every day.

In the past two months, a total of 400 people have jumped.

No one sympathizes with them. They are self-inflicted and cannot live.

The culprit who caused this scene to happen is our protagonist—Zhou Ming.

It was he who shattered the dreams of countless real estate speculators to get rich, and it was he who brought countless developers back to poverty overnight.

If Zhou Ming's identity and actions were made public, he would probably be reviled and hunted down by hundreds of millions of people!

Speaking of which, what the hell did Zhou Ming do to make a house that was originally a "gold price" plummet to the price of an onion?
shook his head.

Zhou Ming didn't actually do anything, he just accelerated the pace of the era of "house prices like green onions".

Let things that would have happened 8 or 10 years later happen 2 years earlier.

The explosion of technology has become a killer of housing prices.

One, after the advent of the intelligent age, most of the jobs will be replaced by machines or robots, people want to be house slaves but cannot.

After all, the unemployed cannot afford such high-priced houses.

Second, the development of virtual technology makes the workplace no longer limited to specific places.

Virtual office allows office workers to wear VR helmets and enter the virtual office, instead of having to squeeze the bus and subway every day, and go to the company to clock in for work.

In the future, 50% of office workers will be able to work at home, 40% of citizens will become freelance workers (e-commerce and other jobs), and 20% of the population will rely on state welfare to survive.

Most citizens, even if they return to the remote and backward countryside, can survive well as long as they have a network connection.

Big cities will no longer be places where young people must settle down.

No matter where people live, they have basically the same development opportunities and a very bright future!

The development of science and technology has lifted the oppression and shackles on people's heads. The houses, facilities and opportunities in big cities can no longer limit the freedom of personal choice!
People can say "no need" to 10,000+ one-square-foot houses, "I won't come" to big cities, and "I want to leave" to those hideous landlords.

The era of freedom, happiness, and beauty has officially arrived.

Demand has fallen sharply, who are developers selling their houses to?

What's more, there are only 14 billion people in country Z, but the houses built by developers are enough for 40 billion people to live in.

No matter how powerful the real estate speculators are, no one can live in more than a dozen suites.

In order not to smash the house in their hands, they can only sell it at a reduced price.

But now the investment hotspot in the market is working robots. If you have some spare money, the first consideration is not to buy a house, but to grab the income right of a working robot.

Even many young people who plan to buy a house are thankful that they did not sell the house. If the down payment of the house in their hands is used to buy a robot, not only will they have no worries about food and clothing for the rest of their lives, but they will not have to be a stressful house slave.

In this case, a fool would buy a house!

House prices fall, let me continue to fall!
Countless real estate speculators who have suffered heavy losses have fallen to the point where their parents don't know each other.

But they still have to figure out a way to sell the house, put the money into working robots, and continue their speculative ventures.

It’s just that no one really buys the house, unless it’s cheaper and lower, someone will be willing to take over the offer for them.

This kind of situation, the homeless people all over the country, can be said to be happy to hear and see.

Zhou Ming also shook his head and smiled secretly.

But his wife Su Yuxiang was not happy.

very unhappy.

Seeing the house price falling every day, her heart felt like a bleed.

By the way, how did Su Yuxiang buy so many houses and become a "taker"?

This has something to do with the "Chuangshen Biotechnology Research Center" founded by Zhou Ming.

After the establishment of this medical research institution, it took less than two years to develop three "miracle medicines".

One is against leukemia, with a cure rate of 99%.

One is against liver cancer, with a cure rate of 99%.

There is also a drug against AIDS with a 100% cure rate.

These three miracle medicines were launched one after another, causing sensations in the whole world one after another, and countless terminally ill patients saw the hope of survival.

The state also gave strong support, allowing "Chuangshen Technology" to shorten the time for clinical trials and release these three miracle drugs in advance.

As soon as these drugs were introduced to the medical market, they triggered a frenzy of buying.

In terms of drug prices, "Chuangshen Technology" is also quite conscientious. The cost of each course of treatment for the three drugs does not exceed 10 yuan in China.

As for foreign countries, these drugs not only have an export quantity limit, but the purchase price of a single course of treatment is around 10 yuan.

This naturally caused dissatisfaction and protests abroad, but Zhou Ming's attitude was very strong: love to buy, buy, don't buy and go away!
Zhou Ming's concept is: Chinese people can earn less money, but foreigners must earn more money!

The sales volume of the three "miracle medicines" is also considerable, and they have brought tens of billions of profits to "Chuangshen Technology" in less than half a year since they were launched on the market.

In addition, the game "Land of Glory" that Zhou Ming asked this company to act as agent for Cow Games has 3 million players, and its popularity has dropped significantly compared to last year, but it has also brought Zhou Ming more than [-] billion in profits.

The sum of the two is more than 200 billion.

As the saying goes, the standard of a good husband is to give all the money he earns to his wife for safekeeping, keeping nothing in his hands.

But Zhou Ming dared to give Su Yuxiang all the huge sum of over 200 billion... This is not hundreds of millions.

Su Yuxiang also understands this truth. A man has a man's career, especially a successful man. The funds he holds are related to the future of tens of millions of people. She had better not reach out.

Zhou Ming gave her some "pocket money" at most.

Of course, it is pocket money, but the total amount of these pocket money is at least more than 10 billion.

There are also dozens of novels written (transported) by Zhou Ming on the Chinese website of the terminal, and millions of manuscript fees are recorded in the account every month... These "small money" also belong to Su Yuxiang.

In short, the current Su Yuxiang is a little rich woman with a net worth of more than one billion.

However, the money is basically all cash, and it will only depreciate if it lies in the bank.

Su Yuxiang doesn't know much about stock trading and financial management.

After consulting some relatives and friends, she felt that buying a house was a good choice.

If you have dozens of houses in your hand, even if the house price will not rise in the future, it is still great to rent it out to others to earn some rent.

So she looked around and spent a lot of money. In two months, she bought more than 30 houses.

In fact, at that time, housing prices had already shown a clear downward trend, and the imminent outbreak of the "robot revolution" also caused panic and chaos in the real estate market...Su Yuxiang picked up a lot of bargains from it, and bought many houses with a price drop of more than [-] yuan. .

Zhou Ming persuaded her not to buy so many houses, saying that in the future, housing prices would be so high that if so many houses were left in her hands, she would definitely suffer heavy losses in the future.

Su Yuxiang hesitated for a moment, feeling that what Zhou Ming said made sense.

However, seeing reports of "resisting robots" everywhere in the news, and the retaliatory rise in housing prices in some cities gave her a certain amount of confidence, so she said to Zhou Ming: "House prices will not fall, even if they fall, they will not fall." No matter how much it falls, investing in real estate is profitable."

Her point of view is the same as the mainstream view, and she firmly believes that house prices will not fall sharply!

The result is of course needless to say.

Su Yuxiang, who invested almost all of her funds in real estate, lost millions every time the house price index dropped by 100!
And the downward trend of housing prices seems to have no end in sight.

If you want to sell it, you can't sell it.

I can only bear it silently, with blood dripping from my heart.

Zhou Ming shook his head, it was hard to comment.

People are inherently profit-seeking, and speculation is also a manifestation of human greed.

There is no sense of security in depositing money in the bank, but I feel that the loss is not small.

In the final analysis, most people still want to be the "rentier class" who can make money while lying still, and hope that through the struggle and sacrifice of house slaves, they can exchange for their comfort and happiness.

This is understandable, no one can stop it.

but……

Technology is developing.

Technology is advancing.

One day, when people enter the era of high productivity, high welfare, and high degree of freedom, the static house will naturally only depreciate continuously and become as expensive as a green onion.
