Siheyuan: Heavy Industry Revitalizes the Country

“Isn’t this house too spacious?

Not only is the room huge, but even the kitchen and bathroom are as big as the bedroom in the old house I live in now.

Isn’t that a bit of a waste?”

“I think so too, and you see, there is a TV and a washing machine in this room.

You can tell at a glance that this is not something that ordinary people can afford.”

"Now that you mention it, I remember that I said that this house was going to be sold.

What’s the price?”

“It won’t be cheap!”

"Nonsense! This house doesn't look cheap at first glance. The question is how much it costs..."

"I think it must cost thousands of dollars per set?!"

"hiss...

Several thousand? Forget it, our family doesn’t have that kind of money... "

"A few thousand dollars? That's a lot, right?

If it really sells for thousands of dollars, how many people in Chengdu can afford it?"

“It’s hard to say, there are people with a monthly income of 10,000 yuan nowadays.

If I really like it, I can afford a few thousand dollars... "

"That's true. If it really costs several thousand dollars, I can only take a look."

"Just take a look. It's free to visit anyway."

"No, I have to go home and take a look, this house looks so beautiful.

If I can live in this house in my lifetime, it will be worth it!"

"Are you really planning to buy it?"

"What if it's cheaper? If it's only a thousand, it's not impossible to get it together."

"One thousand dollars? I'm afraid you're overthinking..."

"One thousand yuan is not bad. The annual salary is several hundred yuan. If you save a little, you can save one or two hundred yuan a year.

Just save for a few years and you will have it.

I’m just afraid it will cost a few thousand dollars, and I really can’t afford it...”

At this time, the newly renovated model room of the real estate company was open to the public for free.

There is a constant stream of people coming to visit.

They say curiosity kills the cat. I didn’t expect there were so many visitors that they had to queue up.

But what no one expected was that when they heard that they had to queue up to visit, more people came.

If you want to see a model room now, you not only have to queue for several hours, but there are also time limits for visiting.

Not only does each person have only 5 minutes to visit, but only five people are allowed to visit at a time.

Even so, it couldn't stop the curious and enthusiastic citizens from coming to watch.

Just like that, two strangers who met in the model room started chatting.

A month has passed since the model room opened.

For a time, this real estate project of building a new city from scratch became the hottest topic of discussion in the entire city.

Almost everyone in the city came to take a look.

Almost everyone reached a consensus.

This house is absolutely a good house, the best ever!

But the price is probably going to be sky-high, right?

Some heads of units and agencies who had been eager to take action before are now running here more diligently.

There are countless government agencies that plan to rent one to three buildings as welfare housing.

As for who should it be packaged and sent to?

Do not ask!

The question is about the benefits provided to the employees of the unit!

In addition to government agencies, many enterprises and institutions with good performance have also begun to follow suit.

Faced with such a large number of inquiries, several senior executives of the real estate company who came from Hong Kong Island could no longer sit still.

This is not Hong Kong Island.

The real estate industry in Hong Kong has now become mature.

Basically, there are prices for reference in every area, every road section, and every type of house.

But there isn’t any in Rongcheng?

Not only is there no data in Chengdu, but there is basically no data available for reference in the entire country.

Is it too high?

Afraid of not completing the task.

Is it too low?

Afraid of being held accountable when returning.

"This is our current concern. So how about you decide the price, Mr. Fang?"

At this time, in the meeting room of the real estate company, several company executives were sitting around Fang Xiang.

Everyone looked at Fang Xiang nervously.

I have to be nervous, this is the boss of the boss of the boss.

Yes, these senior executives were all transferred from Great Wall Industrial by Yin Qingqiu.

They naturally knew Fang Xiang's identity and background.

When it comes to something uncertain like pricing, Fang Xiang must make the decision.

“Have you ever done a price plan before?”

Fang Xiang held the white porcelain teacup in his hand, looked at the jasmine flowers floating in the cup, and asked lightly.

"I did it a few times, but it was overturned every time."

The general manager of the real estate company who was speaking was named Chen and was originally from Guangdong Province.

In the 60s, when he was a teenager, he was almost starved to death and had no choice but to sneak into Hong Kong Island.

From a real estate agent, I gradually became a store manager.

Later, when Great Wall Industrial was established, he decisively jumped to it.

He went from being an ordinary salesperson to the current general manager of a branch.

"Tell me about your previous considerations."

Fang Xiang raised his head and looked at Manager Chen.

In fact, he was not sure about it at the moment, but for the sake of face, he could not show it.

After all, he is already in his thirties.

Moreover, to be honest, the people in front of him could barely be considered his employees.

Of course you have to make something look good, right?

"The earliest plan was based on the prices of houses sold privately by Chengdu residents in recent years.

Because Chengdu itself has private certificates, there are not many houses that can be traded.

Many of them are old houses built decades ago, and the transaction prices are generally around ten to twenty yuan per square meter.

But if we calculate it based on the price of thirty yuan per square meter.

Our house of more than 80 square meters only sells for more than 2,000 yuan.

The cost may not be enough.

So later on, we simply gave up this plan. After all, our house is worth much more than those old houses.

Therefore, the second version of the plan is calculated at eighty to one hundred yuan.

In this way, a house of more than 80 square meters can be sold for 7,000 to 8,000 yuan.

But later, when the model room was opened, we collected some financial information from local residents.

I found that at this price, basically not many people can afford it.

So this plan was quickly abandoned.

The price of the third edition was set at 60 yuan per square meter.

A complete set costs about 5,000 yuan.

Although it is still a bit expensive, we think we can cooperate with banks to launch installment and mortgage loan methods.

But at this time we discovered another problem.

Today's bank interest rates are very high, with a five-year deposit already exceeding six points.

Then the interest rate of the loan will only be higher than this, not lower.

Therefore, the down payment ratio is also a problem. Moreover, the residents here are very averse to loans.

It is because we really cannot make a decision that we asked you, Mr. Fang, to come over here."

When Manager Chen heard Fang Xiang's question, he immediately started talking about the three versions of the plan he had made previously.

Because the conversion method in Hong Kong Island is different from that here, for the sake of ease of reading, we will follow the calculation method that everyone is accustomed to.

“Have you calculated the cost?”

After listening to this, Fang Xiang did not rush to speak, but took a sip of tea first.

After pondering for a moment, he continued to ask.

"After calculations, our cost per square meter is about 20 yuan so far.

Compared to Hong Kong Island, it’s much cheaper...”

As soon as Fang Xiang finished speaking, Manager Chen immediately responded.

At the end, he sighed.

“That is to say, this one thousand acres of land is based on the previous plan.

The cost of building it all will be more than 30 million?"

When Fang Xiang heard the cost, he silently calculated it in his mind and found that the cost was far lower than he expected.

There is no requirement for floor area ratio nowadays, but Fang Xiang has no plans to build a pigeon cage.

Instead, it was built according to the standards of improved housing in later generations.

Apart from a very small number of high-end townhouses, the rest are basically five-story buildings.

The area is similar to that of Factory 132, with only three apartment types.

Two-bedroom apartments are over 80 square meters, three-bedroom apartments are 110 square meters, and four-bedroom apartments are 130 square meters.

When you think about it, for such a large area, there are actually only about 11,000 units.

If we count based on a household of three, there are more than 30,000 people, which is basically the same as a small town.

Even some small counties don't have such a large population.

After all, this is not the era of urbanization in later generations.

At that time, the population of Chengdu was less than two million, which was almost ten times less than that in later generations.
