Hearing this, Yang Jing was completely relieved.
Lao Xue is now mainly dealing with scrap collection stations, not collecting antiques. This money is enough for him to use for a long time.
"Brother Yang, I'm afraid I can't do this job for you for much longer." After taking another sip of wine, Lao Xue said this hesitantly. "I think you saw it when you came here. It is said that the land I live in will be demolished in the spring. If it is demolished, your sister-in-law and I will have to go out and find a house to live in. I'm afraid I can't do the job of collecting your things."
"It's okay, Brother Xue. Actually, when I came here this morning and saw the workers marking the lines, I knew that your house was going to be demolished soon. By the way, what did you and sister-in-law choose? Did you change houses or pay for the demolition fee?"
Old Xue said, "Before the New Year, the government came to do a survey and asked me what I would choose. I remembered what you said to me before you left last time, so I asked to move to a building, and add the house next door, and try to get a retail apartment with the combined area."
Yang Jing nodded and said, "You are right to make the exchange. If you have such a building and a shop, you and your sister-in-law should not have to worry about the rest of your life. How much the housing prices in Yanjing have risen in recent years, I believe you, Brother Xue, know it best, right?"
"That's right! The housing prices in Yanjing have risen dramatically in recent years. Your sister-in-law's second uncle used to live in Fangzhuang. I remember that Fangzhuang began to count the households to be relocated and expropriate land in 1984, and the land expropriation was not completed until 1991. Construction of Fangzhuang community began in 1992. It seems that the pre-sale of houses in Fangzhuang community began in 1986. At that time, the prices of houses in Fangzhuang community were divided into three grades: A, B, and C. Grade A was 1,700-1,800 yuan/square meter, Grade B was 1,400-1,500 yuan/square meter, and Grade C was 700-800 yuan/square meter. Dongmei, is this the price?"
Liu Dongmei nodded and said, "Yes, this was the price when the commercial housing in Fangzhuang Community was pre-sold in 1986. At that time, my second uncle was a relocated household, so his family was able to get a house. But my second uncle also had a young son who was not married, so he wanted to buy another house for my cousin, and the price at that time was this price."
Old Xue slapped his thigh and said, "Eight years ago, the best houses in Fangzhuang were only 1,700 to 1,800 yuan per square meter. Now, at the end of last year, the average price of those Class C houses in Fangzhuang community has reached 3,800 yuan. It is said that the prices of those good houses have exceeded 6,000 yuan! The housing prices are soaring, and I don’t know when it will stop. So I discussed with your sister-in-law and decided to listen to what you said at the beginning. Let’s move to a new house, and it will definitely not be a loss!"
What Old Xue said was not nonsense. Yang Jing knew something about the housing prices in Yanjing.
When Fangzhuang was first built, in addition to state agencies and major state-owned enterprises, a group of the first wealthy people in Beijing and a large number of celebrity actors also competed to buy Fangzhuang properties. When the commercial housing in Fangzhuang community began to be pre-sold in 1986, the price was indeed as Lao Xue just said, but in the second half of 1995, the price of the best commercial housing in Fangzhuang community once reached 7,000 yuan per square meter. And the price of Fangguyuan Longzhu Apartment, which was launched in 1995 as a fully decorated export apartment, reached a terrifying 2,000 US dollars per square meter.
It is no exaggeration to say that the entire Yanjing real estate started from Fangzhuang Community.
Although in the late 1990s, housing prices in Fangzhuang community fell for a time due to unreasonable housing layout, small housing area, too few parking spaces and other reasons, the second phase of Fangguyuan released in 1998 was only about 6,000 yuan per square meter, far lower than the peak in 1996, but it cannot be denied that Fangzhuang community witnessed the rise of Yanjing real estate.
Old Xue said, "Brother Yang, it's not that I don't want to continue collecting things from you, it's just that the situation is right here. Once my two houses start to be demolished, I might have to move to Tong County with your sister-in-law, and then I won't be able to collect things from you."
Yang Jing said, "Brother Xue, it doesn't matter. You have collected a lot now anyway. It doesn't matter if you can't collect it in the future. Well, from now on, until your house is demolished, you can collect as much as you can. We will have dinner later. After we load the car, I will tell you a place, and you can just deliver these things to that place. As for the remaining money, you can take it as a reward for helping me collect these things these days."
Upon hearing this, Lao Xue stood up and said, "Brother Yang, this won't do. How much does it cost to buy these things? Leave all the remaining money to me, I can't take it."
"Haha, Brother Xue, don't argue with me. You should have seen that I'm not short of money. And you've helped me so much, I should give you a reward. Besides, your house is about to be demolished, and you and your sister-in-law need to find a house to live in, which costs money. So, listen to me, take this money!"
