Siheyuan: Heavy Industry Revitalizes the Country

Fang Xiang had no idea what was happening on the other side of the ocean.

But even if he knew, it wouldn't affect him.

After talking to Liu's father on the phone, J-11 no longer had much time left for him.

So much so that the plan was originally to conduct a second test flight in late second month.

It was also brought forward to mid-June.

Although the time was a bit tight, fortunately Fang Xiang and the butcher kept a close eye on the progress and the site every day.

There were no unexpected situations.

Next is the time when the factory distributes houses and the real estate company starts selling them.

As for all these, Fang Xiang couldn't even take care of his own affairs, so how could he have the energy to care about those things?

Fortunately, Director Ma manages the factory affairs very well.

After more than ten years of cooperation, Director Ma has not only been conscientious and hardworking, but his professional ability is also above the excellent level.

Otherwise, Fang Xiang wouldn't have dragged me all the way to where I am now.

As for the real estate company, after the price was determined, the group of professional managers also demonstrated their due level.

Of course, it was only 83 after all, and there wouldn’t be a series of fancy things like capital verification, fundraising, sales opening, house delivery, etc. like in later generations.

Basically, you come with money, choose a house, pay, get the keys, and leave.

Actually, it is a process that couldn't be simpler.

However, the sales office being surrounded by crowds every day has become the norm for real estate companies.

Many people originally thought that the price would be too high to accept, but now they see that it is just a matter of tiptoeing away.

And those who can't afford it in the first place still can't afford it.

But this is also within Fang Xiang's plan.

The essence of this batch of houses is to improve living conditions.

The target customers are what later generations called the middle class and above.

As for whether you can afford a two-bedroom apartment of over 80 square meters for more than 2,000 yuan?

In the 1980s, those who could live in cities basically all had stable jobs.

The monthly salary ranges from a hundred yuan to thirty or forty yuan.

If there are two working people in the family, the income will be even more substantial.

Not to mention that there are many families with two generations who have stable jobs and stable housing income.

It is not difficult to save two thousand yuan in ten years.

Most of these people have houses allocated by their work units.

But what did the houses look like back then?

Most of it is exactly the same as the residential building for employees of Luoqi that Fang Xiang originally designed.

Do you still remember the open-style teaching building where you went to school when you were a child?

A long building with several classrooms lined up in a row. Outside the classroom is the playground.

The buildings at that time were also like this.

A long building with six, seven, eight or nine rooms lined up in a row, and the most has more than twenty rooms.

There are no toilets, you have to go to the public toilets.

As for the kitchen, there is none.

They just set up a coal stove in the corridor or at the door.

A small house like this is less than ten square meters, and a large one is more than ten square meters.

Later it evolved a little and came with a suite.

But the area is basically only 30 square meters.

Of course, it’s not entirely like this, there are also new buildings.

The kind with door openings.

There are two households on one floor, and the rooms are bigger, with two bedrooms of about 40 to 50 square meters.

There are some three-bedroom apartments, but only high-ranking officials are qualified to live in them.

These are equipped with kitchens and even independent bathrooms.

Although it’s small, it’s there, isn’t it?

However, such houses are not only rare, but are basically occupied by leaders of various units.

Or maybe only units with particularly good performance can afford to build such houses.

In other words, only when we start to develop the economy on a large scale now can the conditions for it to become truly popular on a large scale.

Logically speaking, such a house is already the ceiling in China, except for the small villas where senior leaders live.

But as the old saying goes, there is no harm without comparison.

What is the layout and area of ​​the house sold by the real estate company?

Is there any comparable layout? Is there any comparable community environment?

Not to mention, the real estate company has also introduced property management companies which are just beginning to become popular in Hong Kong Island.

There are dedicated security personnel and cleaning staff.

As long as you have money, you can enjoy the best house except for a very few big leaders.

Let me ask you, if you had money, would you buy it or not?

The local residents of Chengdu cast their votes with their feet.

The result is that the product has been on sale for only a week, with no tricks or fancy activities.

More than 5,000 sets were sold.

Quite a number of people, after getting the house keys in the morning, don’t even want to eat lunch and start moving directly.

At one point, carts became a scarce commodity in the entire city of Chengdu and even in the surrounding areas.

Yes, nowadays when we move, we use a cart or a bullock cart.

Cars? You're overthinking it. How many cars are there nowadays?

Except for a few people who have some power and are brave enough to use the company's cars to help transport things.

Others went around borrowing ox carts, donkey carts, horse carts, and flatbed carts. If they couldn't find any, they would just ride bicycles and move like ants.

Because it was still a weekday, wherever you went on the street, you could see women riding bicycles and carrying things to move.

The most popular way of greeting in Chengdu nowadays is: Have you eaten?

It has become, have you moved?

With such a grand occasion, even those who are not well-informed would know what happened.

You originally had money but didn’t plan to buy it, but now you see that others have bought it, but you don’t have it?

Can this be tolerated?

The competitive genes of the Chinese people were activated, and they immediately got excited and took out their money to buy one.

What? Your Wang family can afford to buy a new house, but my Li family can’t?

Didn't you buy the second floor? I'll buy the third floor!

Just to suppress you!

Those who are well-off are even more generous and directly buy a three-bedroom apartment of 110 square meters.

In their opinion, why do we need two living rooms? Wouldn't it be better to just change it to four bedrooms and one living room than three bedrooms and two living rooms?

As for lighting? Ventilation?

Who cares about this these days?

There are houses everywhere where you have to turn on the lights as soon as you enter the house.

Without turning on the lights, you can’t see what kind of house there is, there are so many.

This house is better than the ones the leaders live in, so what is there to complain about?

Next, it attracted those who couldn't even afford it.

Many people started to think, I can’t afford it, can’t I borrow money to buy it?

In the blink of an eye, it was time after dinner, and I ran around looking for relatives, friends, colleagues, and neighbors to start building relationships.

What? Your family bought a new house?

Oh, you don’t know, there are four, five, six or seven people in my family now, and the house we live in is so cramped.

A whole family lives in such a small pigsty. We have such a good relationship, can you just watch me suffer?

No!

Then you have to lend me some money?

It seemed like in the blink of an eye, people all over the city were borrowing money.

In addition to this group of people, a new profession has emerged today.

intermediary!

Yes, thousands of families bought houses, but what about the original houses?

If there are many people in the family, they can live separately.

This not only makes it more comfortable, but also provides more private space.

After all, the house is just on the edge of the city. It’s not far to get there by bike, right?

If there are few people in the family, then it will be very worrying.

We don’t live in this extra house anymore, so can we sell it?

Just consider it as blood recovery?

Of course, there is no such word as "recovery" these days, but it does make sense not to waste time, right?

Gradually, after someone sold his house at a high price, other people also knew this information.

I also started to think about it.

A new house would cost at least over two thousand, which we cannot afford.

But the houses in those residential buildings are about 30 to 40 square meters, and the price is 20 yuan per square meter.

A house only costs a few hundred dollars.

I can’t afford a new house, but can I not afford a building?

In the past, we couldn’t afford to live there because we didn’t have the qualifications, experience, or conditions.

But now, you can live in the house that you used to envy by spending only a fraction of the price of a new house.

It’s not impossible, right?

Before long, the whole city suddenly became active in the reselling of second-hand houses.

When we meet and greet each other, have you moved yet?

It becomes, have you sold your house?
