My courtyard shelter

November 7, Friday, the beginning of winter.

The Coke Bread Factory is about to go public.

In the past week, in order to rescue Nisang, the government has almost mobilized all large and small ships to transport Nisang people, which has caused the originally hot foreign trade market to plummet.

It's not that there are no orders, but the goods cannot be shipped out and can only be piled up in the warehouse to collect dust.

Fortunately, there is no need to worry about liquidated damages, because this is called force majeure.

Affected by this, Yang Shuo also has some free time.

Ma Lingling took a day off specially, plus two days of weekend, just in time to accompany her husband to look at houses.

The couple had discussed before and planned to buy a small villa with a basement.

Buying a house is a big deal, and Yang's mother also went with him.

After leaving home, the three of them headed north. Most of the villa communities in Yanjing are concentrated in the north or northeast. Even if there are houses in other areas, there is not much room for choice.

More than an hour later, they arrived at Beichen Hongxiang Villa Community. The reason why they came here first was very simple, because the villas here, whether they are duplex or townhouses, all have basements.

The basement is their primary condition.

The real estate agent was probably enthusiastic because of the red envelope, and he told the truth right away.

"Auntie Yang, Mr. Yang, Mrs. Yang, now is not a good time to buy a house!"

"Oh, what do you mean?"

"I won't hide it from you. Recently, the housing prices in the entire capital area have generally risen by 30% to 50%, especially the villa type, some of which have even doubled or tripled."

Ma Lingling asked curiously: "Why did it suddenly rise so much?"

In recent years, the housing prices in the capital have been very stable, and they have been stable with a decline.

"Well, it's all because of the trouble in Nisang."

"Nisang?"

The real estate agent nodded: "Isn't Nisang a volcano and an earthquake? Their place is no longer suitable for living. Rich people come to settle here."

"Have many people bought houses recently?"

"A lot, a lot. It's a pity that there is no commission for selling houses now, otherwise I can make a lot of money."

The real estate agent said with regret.

Ma Lingling looked at her husband: "What should we do now?"

No one can bear to spend several times more money, and the money they originally prepared for the purchase of the house now seems to be insufficient.

"Brother Yu, according to your estimate, when will the housing price return to normal?"

Yang Shuo asked hurriedly.

"At least half a year, at most a year, it will definitely come down."

"Half a year is too long."

Yang Shuo shook his head.

The main reason their family bought a villa was to avoid risks. This is a rigid demand. After all, time waits for no one.

Yang's mother asked directly: "Xiao Yu, what is the current housing price here?"

"The townhouse is the cheapest, with an area of ​​about 360 square meters and a price of 800 million; the second is the duplex, with an area of ​​about 510 square meters and a price of 800 million; the last is the single-family villa, with an area of ​​about 640 square meters and a price of 800 million."

The real estate agent quoted the price skillfully.

"Are there many houses?"

"Not many, there are only eight left. They sold quickly in the past few days, and more than 30 sets were sold at once. There are more rich people in Japan than expected."

When Yang Shuo heard that there were only eight left, he quickly pulled his mother and wife aside and discussed privately.

It was also bad luck. When I first consulted last week, the price had not risen yet. As a result, it was delayed for a few days and the situation suddenly changed.

This is probably what the saying goes:

Plans are not as fast as changes.

"Mom, what do you think?"

"Why don't we take it slow? The house price is too expensive."

Yang's mother shook her head.

Yang Shuo then turned to Ma Lingling: "Wife, what about you? Do you want to buy it now, or wait for a year or two?"

"Hubby, I listen to you, you decide!"

Ma Lingling didn't want to put too much pressure on her husband.

Yang Shuo nodded, and then expressed his thoughts: "Mom, wife, I want to buy it now. There are not many villas in Yanjing. After being swept by the Nisang people, the price may not be able to drop next year."

Gu Bu

"But we don't have enough money?"

Yang's mother worried.

"It doesn't matter if it's not enough, we can still get a loan."

Yang Shuo comforted.

"Loan? What if you stop paying?"

Ma Lingling quickly persuaded: "Mom, it's okay. I still have shares in the bakery, and I get tens of millions of dividends every year. We are not afraid of stopping paying."

"Yes, Mom!" Yang Shuo followed up and echoed, "You also saw that such a big disaster happened in Nisang this time. It seems that there will be another war in Europe. With a basement, our family will be safer."

"You two better think it over."

"I have thought it over. When the rescue in Nisang is over, foreign trade will be able to recover immediately. As long as I give you another year next year, the mortgage will not be a problem at all."

Mother Yang was finally convinced.

Just when Yang Shuo was full of confidence and ready to be a rich man, the real estate agent came over directly, with an apologetic face:

"Sorry, I just received news that the villas here have been sold out. Do you three want to take a look at the residential building next door? There are large flats inside, which are not much worse than villas."

"What? Sold out? So fast?"

Yang Shuo was surprised.

"This time it was a group purchase, and all the remaining houses were packed up at once."

"Are they Nisang people again?"

"Yeah." The real estate agent nodded.

“Are they qualified to buy a house?”

The real estate agent smiled bitterly and said: "Mr. Yang, I see what you said is true. Now is no better than before. As long as you are willing to spend money, there are a lot of opportunities in Bohai New District."

Investment promotion in Bohai New District is in full swing.

"Husband, forget it if it's not here, let's go check out other places?"

Ma Lingling advised.

Mother Yang tried to ask: "Xiao Yu, are there any villa communities nearby?"

"Of course there are, but I'm afraid not many have basements. It depends on luck."

the real estate agent replied.

"Forget it, Brother Yu, let's go back to the agency directly! You can help me find all the houses with basements. There is no need to see the houses on the spot. We can just pick one at random."

Yang Shuo said straightforwardly.

To be honest, the locust-like sweeping behavior of the Nisang people seriously amplified his anxiety. To be on the safe side, it was better to start as soon as possible.

As for the quality of the villa, no matter how bad it is, it's not much worse. Plus it's not raining now, so at least there's no need to worry about waterproofing.

"Husband, you..."

Ma Lingling said anxiously.

Buying a house is a big deal, how can you be so hasty?

"Don't worry, I'm sensible."

Yang Shuo waved his hand.

Of course the real estate agent was happy to have his leisure time: "Okay, let's go back now, shall we?"

"Let's go, don't let those Nisang people get the first step again."

…

Back at the agency store, before everyone could get excited, Yang Shuo signed on the spot for a 450-square-meter townhouse with a basement and a price tag of 2.5 billion yuan.

Fortunately, not long after the house purchase contract was signed, the price of villas in the surrounding communities ushered in a new round of skyrocketing, rising by 50%.

Ma Lingling immediately gave her husband a thumbs up.

"Husband, you are still awesome. You made more than 100 million in half an hour."

The real estate agent echoed: "Mr. Yang, your vision is indeed accurate."

Yang Shuo shook his head subconsciously.

No matter how much the value of a house that cannot be liquidated has nothing to do with their family, unless the housing reform policy is abolished in the future, it will simply be a mirror image.

You can see it, but you can't touch it.

However, the above is quite exaggerated. For this kind of exotic leek, the attack is quick and ruthless, and I wish I could dig out the roots.
