With the collapse of the Shangguan family, almost the entire economy of Shanghai has been taken over by Huanyu.
Next comes the rectification and reshuffling of the entire market.
These are minor matters, and Lin Yu naturally wouldn't concern himself with them; he only needed to focus on the overall direction.
In addition, he is more concerned about issues related to people's livelihood.
For example, in the medical industry, Lin Yu personally participates in setting standards for drug pricing and hospitalization fees.
Then, there's a question that everyone is currently concerned about – the housing market.
This is a rather sensitive issue in Great Xia, and Lin Yu doesn't want to touch it for the time being. In addition, the cabinet has already formulated a soft landing policy, which Lin Yu believes is the most effective way at present. It's never too late to mend the fence after the sheep are lost.
After this series of upheavals, housing prices in some areas have begun to decline.
However, the housing problem for impoverished groups cannot be solved in the short term.
In order to ensure that migrant workers in the city could have a place to live, Lin Yu had public rental housing planned.
And he personally conducted on-site investigations.
However, after arriving at the site for inspection, he was somewhat unhappy.
The public rental housing he had planned was in very poor condition; it didn't even have a toilet, and the kitchen had to be shared.
On such a cold day, after everyone got up, they still had to run to the public toilet outside.
The person in charge of planning the public rental housing was Du Hongtao, a capable subordinate of Zhu Yeqing.
Seeing Lin Yu's ashen face, Zhu Yeqing felt uneasy, knowing that her boss was unhappy. She asked Du Hongtao, the person in charge, "I've allocated a lot of funds to you for public rental housing, what's going on? The conditions are so bad!"
Du Hongtao gave a wry smile. "Miss, I did indeed do it according to Mr. Lin's wishes. His idea was to ensure that all working people could have a place to live, but if I make the public rental housing too good, these poor people won't be able to live there!"
"What do you mean?" Zhu Yeqing was a little confused.
Du Hongtao shook his head helplessly and said, "There's an old public rental housing complex right next door, and the conditions are good. I'll take you there and you'll see!"
Afterwards, Du Hongtao led Lin Yu, Zhu Yeqing, and others to the neighboring community.
This is the first public rental housing community that Du Hongtao developed.
The community environment is excellent, comparable to that of commercial housing.
Lin Yu was quite satisfied when he came in, but then his brows furrowed.
Because the parking spaces in the residential area were filled with luxury cars.
BMW, Mercedes-Benz, Audi, Land Rover, and they're even extended versions!
Lin Yu was a little confused.
Are you sure this is public rental housing?
Why are all the people living here rich?
Driving a BMW requires an annual income of at least several hundred thousand, right? Do you need to live in public rental housing?
"What's going on?" Lin Yu asked coldly.
Du Hongtao looked helpless and said, "Mr. Lin, as you can see, we have implemented public rental housing, but you must understand that we can only be responsible for the project. As for who can live there, that is not something we can decide. The application, approval, review, petitions, and so on, this whole process is not something that ordinary people can do. Moreover, there is no guarantee that someone will line their own pockets in the process. People who can get public rental housing approved don't even need it. It's really too difficult! Of course, I'm not saying all of them, but this is a common phenomenon!"
"I understand!" Lin Yu nodded.
He suddenly remembered a story.
What story?
Emperor Qianlong ordered Heshen to provide relief to disaster victims. Not only did Heshen embezzle funds, but he also had sand added to the porridge being distributed.
Why add sand?
Heshen told the officials that if they didn't add sand to the porridge, the disaster victims wouldn't be able to eat it at all!
Only if it's mixed with sand will the rich not steal it!
In this world, the strong always get stronger—that's the principle!
Those who get rich first, with power, status, and connections, become powerful. They won't think about helping others; instead, they'll use every means to steal jobs from the poor and bully them.
The people of Daxia leave no room for compromise in their actions. They all hope to step on others.
It's all too common for families to be wiped out.
This is human nature!
Lin Yu just didn't expect that such a thing could happen within his jurisdiction!
He took a deep breath and said, "Let's go in and see what kind of monsters and demons live here!"
Lin Yu went straight into one of the houses.
This is a ground floor apartment with a small courtyard.
An elderly woman was taking care of a child in the courtyard, and a Panamera was parked next to her!
"Auntie, may I ask you how you ended up living in this house? Did your family apply for public rental housing?"
The old lady gave him a haughty look and said, "Yeah, so what? This whole building is public rental housing that my son applied for. What are you going to do about renting a place? There are still rooms available on the fifth and sixth floors, but the rest are all rented out!"
Lin Yu couldn't help but frown. "What do you mean? Your son not only applied for public rental housing, but he also got the entire building? And he's renting it out?"
"Yes! Is there a problem? We rent from the government for 500 a month, and then rent to tenants for 1000 a month. We can earn 500 yuan per household, which is not much. You know, in Shanghai, you can easily rent a single room for several thousand yuan!" The old lady had a proud expression.
Clearly, he mistook Lin Yu for someone renting a house and started promoting it on behalf of his son.
Lin Yu took a deep breath, and a small flame in his heart surged up.
Damn it!
He asked Du Haitao to quote the official price of only two hundred yuan, but when it came to the actual tenants, the price increased five times.
