Lin Yifeng wants to buy a house.
This idea came about last night after I snagged a Ding kiln lotus-patterned bowl worth 50 million yuan.
But in 1992, there was only one residential complex in Muye City, and it was still under construction. Although it was for sale, what use was Lin Yifeng to a house that wasn't finished?
"Either buy an old, dilapidated apartment, or buy a plot of land in the suburbs."
At this stage, Lin Yifeng has two choices: one is the old, dilapidated house like those in later generations.
Although it's called an old, dilapidated, and small house, in this era, it was considered a very good residence. Most people, including officials in Makino City, lived in such old, dilapidated, and small houses.
The second option is to buy a plot of land in the suburbs.
The current outskirts of Makino City will become the city center in the future. If Lin Yifeng buys a plot of land in the suburbs first, he can make a profit from the demolition and redevelopment in the future, or he can build a small villa.
"It's better to buy a plot of land directly than a residential plot. You can do something else on that land, or you can leave it there and wait for the real estate market to open up after 2008 to build apartment buildings."
"At this stage, I think buying an old, dilapidated apartment is more suitable."
"Let's ask around and see which residential compound has old, run-down shops for sale."
Buying a house is not cost-effective in this era; buying a shop is the most suitable option.
But Lin Yifeng didn't want to buy the shop anymore, mainly because it was on a street and he would be woken up by noise every morning.
He's been reborn, so he doesn't want to wrong himself.
Having made up his mind, Lin Yifeng decided to look at old, dilapidated apartments in the next few days and buy one to make do.
...
Lin Yifeng had a relatively free time in the following days.
He went to and from get out of class with his roommates every day, ate in the cafeteria together, and even participated in group activities together.
Lam Yat-fung participated in everything from watching movies and playing arcade games to social gatherings and playing soccer on the playground.
This made his roommate exclaim that Lin Yifeng had changed.
Lin Yifeng returned to normal student life, but the other person in the dormitory also changed.
Old Guo has been leaving early and returning late every day these past few days. He's a lot like Lin Yifeng before. He doesn't go to class every day, leaves in the morning and comes back at night. When he comes back, he doesn't chat with his roommates, but just lies in bed and falls asleep.
What is Lao Guo doing?
Apart from Chet Lam, nobody knows.
When the people in the dormitory asked Lao Guo, he wouldn't say anything, only that he had something to do and would be busy for a few days.
The people in the dormitory all speculated that Lao Guo was in a relationship.
Some people speculate that Guo Degang has also gone into business.
Several people asked Lin Yifeng if Lao Guo was working for him, but Lin Yifeng just smiled and didn't answer.
Life in the ivory tower was peaceful and comfortable. Lin Yifeng spent five easy and peaceful days quietly until five days later, when Lao Guo handed him an investigation document.
An air conditioner in 1992 was a luxury among luxury items.
In this era, the air conditioning market is a seller's market. An air conditioner starts at 6,000 yuan, and once you buy it, you can't decide when it will be installed; the manufacturer decides.
The best-selling air conditioner brand of this era was Chunlan.
Chunlan brand air conditioners were produced in Hailing Province. In those days, Chunlan brand air conditioners were extremely competitive, with a market share of up to 50%.
The huge market share made Chunlan extremely arrogant. They did not continue to conduct in-depth research and development of air conditioners, improve the technology of air conditioners, train the quality of employees, or strengthen after-sales service.
Instead, it has expanded and taken a diversified approach.
Chunlan Air Conditioning, whose sales exceeded 5.3 billion yuan in 1994, began to venture into refrigerators, washing machines, televisions, and even motorcycles and trucks.
At the height of its success, Chunlan Air Conditioning began to recklessly self-destruct. Not only did its air conditioners frequently malfunction, but after-sales service was also unreliable. In addition, its air conditioners were expensive and its technological innovation was slow.
Chunlan brand air conditioners, which held 50% of the domestic market share, died out not long after.
The second-ranked domestic air conditioner brand is Guqiao.
Guqiao brand air conditioners are manufactured in Kyoto and are very popular there. Even Chunlan brand air conditioners, which are very popular in China, have been defeated by Guqiao brand air conditioners in Kyoto.
However, like Chunlan brand air conditioners, Guqiao brand also suffers from slow installation and lack of after-sales service.
"Chunlan and Guqiao brands are currently the best-selling in the market, but manufacturers can hardly guarantee when the air conditioners will be installed."
Guo Fengsheng has been investigating air conditioners these past few days. He even visited some companies and individuals who install air conditioners in person: "I asked some companies and individuals who install air conditioners, and the average installation period is two months, but it's hard to say for sure."
The unit that took the longest to install the air conditioner was the company that came to install it; it took a full five months.
Five months?
It's already mid-May. By the time the air conditioner is installed in five months, summer will be over.
I spent over 100,000 yuan to install air conditioners, not to let them be mere decorations.
Lin Yifeng didn't speak, but nodded to let Guo Fengsheng continue.
"I personally do not recommend installing these two brands of air conditioners."
"As for the reason, I wrote it down in the investigation report. You can take a look, Brother Feng."
Guo Fengsheng handed the investigation report to Lin Yifeng, who opened it and saw its contents.
This investigation report was handwritten.
In this era, most people have pretty good handwriting. Guo Fengsheng's handwriting may not reach an artistic level, but it can be considered neat.
Lin Yifeng read Guo Fengsheng's investigation report word by word.
It must be said that those who can attend vocational high school in this era are truly capable.
This was Guo Fengsheng's first time giving an investigative report, but in Lin Yifeng's opinion, he did a very good job, even vaguely resembling a template for later generations.
