In that era, coal resources were relatively scarce, and every household generally used coal briquettes as fuel to boil water and cook.

As the sky gets darker and it’s almost time for dinner, every household starts to light a fire and cook.

For a moment, the narrow corridor was crowded with people and smoke was curling up, it was very lively.

Since coal briquettes emit a pungent odor when burning, in order to avoid affecting the indoor air quality, people usually store coal briquettes at the end of the corridor.

Over time, the area where the coal balls were placed became black, as if covered by a thick layer of coal ash.

However, these problems are nothing compared to the small living space.

At that time, almost every family had several children.

Many families have only two houses to allocate, one for the parents and the other for the children.

In desperation, the younger children had to squeeze on the living room floor to spend the night.

Although there were beddings on the floor, the cold at night was still unbearable, and not all children could grit their teeth and persevere.

With the rapid development of the national economy, people's living standards have gradually improved, and their requirements for housing conditions have also increased day by day.

As a result, the real estate industry has rapidly emerged in the country like mushrooms after rain, and has gradually become one of the popular industries.

At this turbulent moment, Gu Changmu naturally would not stand idly by.

He immediately called Huangpi and urged him to return to the capital as soon as possible.

It turned out that a large amount of land was being publicly auctioned in the market recently, and the old man of Gu Changmu's family had already seen the opportunity and decisively purchased a lot of high-quality land.

Now, we just have to wait for Huangpi to return to help handle the follow-up matters.

This time, Ye Pei did not summon him to Beijing because Shanghai also urgently needed to build houses.

After weighing the pros and cons, Ye Pei decided to let them act separately, responsible for projects in Beijing and Shanghai respectively.

You must know that Beijing and Shanghai are the first places where the domestic real estate industry has risen, and opportunities are fleeting.

Faced with such a good opportunity, they must not miss it. After all, the profits that real estate can bring are much greater than those of the reselling business they have been engaged in before.

In this way, they took the funds generously donated by Yue Yue and Gu Changmu, and pooled the money from their brothers to vigorously establish a large-scale construction company.

Immediately afterwards, relying on his strong appeal, he quickly recruited a large number of workers and immediately started large-scale construction in Beijing and Shanghai, and launched housing construction projects in full swing.

At this moment, houses have become a hot treasure in everyone's eyes, and everyone wants to own a home of their own.

At the same time, banks with a keen sense of smell also seized the opportunity and launched the installment home purchase business model in a timely manner.

Because the overall wage level in society was generally low at that time, most people's monthly salary was only tens to hundreds of yuan, while the selling price of a house started from 10,000 yuan and went up to hundreds of thousands.

In this situation, for many home buyers, paying the full amount of the house in one lump sum is almost a fantasy, so installment payment undoubtedly becomes an extremely attractive and feasible home buying option.

In that era, they became the first pioneers to engage in house building.

Since they were the first team to build houses, they were extremely strict in controlling the building materials.

After all, as a pioneering project, the quality of these new houses must pass the test impeccably.

At that time, high-rise buildings were relatively rare. Generally speaking, newly built houses were usually only five to eight stories high, with five stories being the most common.

Moreover, the so-called "common area" policy had not yet been implemented at that time. In other words, the house area obtained by home buyers was exactly the same as the actual marked area, without any water.

During that period, a housing purchase boom swept Beijing and Shanghai.

People held the newspapers of the day, their eyes fixed on the introduction and promotion of the houses.

At the same time, they would from time to time cast their eyes on the exquisite models displayed in the housing sales department, and their desire to own a house of their own became stronger and stronger, even reaching a whole new level.

Time passed quietly. Under the tireless and meticulous supervision of Huang Pi and Ye Pei, new residential communities sprang up like mushrooms on the many lands developed by the Gu Group.

Finally, the exciting moment of selling the house has arrived!

Today happens to be the important day when Gu officially sells its newly built residential properties to the public.

Every community here exudes an ordinary and warm atmosphere.

However, it should be pointed out that in this particular period, people who are able to purchase real estate are often either rich or noble.

Looking at those houses priced at tens of thousands of yuan, many people are worried even if they are not well off.

They also have to find ways to raise the money for buying a house through borrowing, just to be able to settle down in this prosperous city and have a warm home that truly belongs to them.

Today, the outside of Gu's sales office was full of residents who came to buy houses. Huangpi had no choice but to ask his brothers to find someone to maintain order outside the sales office.

Inside the sales office are sales ladies who have been carefully trained for several months. Looking at the dense crowds outside, they can already imagine how booming their performance will be today.

Each of them perked up and prepared to greet the incoming customers immediately. As the clock struck ten, the door of the sales office was opened and the customers strode directly towards the sales office.
