Chapter 127: Selling One House to Multiple Customers (Part 1) Gift Value Plus
After Zhou Jing got off the bus, a group of people immediately surrounded her. "Who is Mr. Wang?" she asked.
Who knew this group of people would suddenly ask, "Are you a reporter from the provincial TV station?"
"Where's your press card?"
"Where's reporter Jiang?"
Zhou Jing was stunned, and at the same time, she was very dissatisfied with their questioning tone. "Didn't you invite us here? Why are you asking me for a press pass?"
Jiang Ningyue slowly opened the door and got out of the car. Everyone's eyes lit up when they saw her, and many of them raised their phones.
"Reporter Jiang is here! Our problem will definitely be solved!"
Jiang Ningyue's tone was a little bad, and it was becoming more and more like Tian Jun's style. "Stop filming. Choose two representatives to speak, and then the rest of you can disperse."
Intimidated by Jiang Ningyue's aura, many people silently took two steps back, and most people put down their phones.
Only a few people still secretly took photos of Jiang Ningyue. Maybe they thought that with this sneak shot, they could become popular on Douyin and become an Internet celebrity?
Zhou Jing silently gave Jiang Ningyue a thumbs-up. Although she had been a journalist for many years, she was still easily outdone in terms of momentum. If she had said the same thing, this group of people would definitely not have bought into it.
"Come on, Mr. Wang."
Zhou Jing called Mr. Wang aside, and Jiang Ningyue also stood silently by.
Mr. Wang said, "We bought this house in 2015 for 450,000 yuan, and it's 130 square meters. It's been 19 years and we still haven't received the house. And, most importantly, when we owners got together, we found that many of us had duplicate house numbers. In other words, the same house was sold to multiple people."
As he spoke, Mr. Wang called Mr. Zhao over.
Zhou Jing asked, "Do you have any evidence for the claim of selling the same house to multiple buyers?"
"some."
Mr. Wang produced his own purchase contract, which clearly stated "Unit 1, Door 3, 2201." Mr. Zhao's contract also stated "Unit 1, Door 3, 2201." The only difference between the two contracts was that one was with the developer, Shengdi Real Estate Company, while the other was with the construction company.
Jiang Ningyue stood aside and asked slowly, "Do you know that this house is illegal?"
"It's just a small property." Mr. Wang said with a simple smile, "The rooms around here are all over ten thousand, but this one is less than five thousand."
Mr. Zhao also said, "And isn't there a saying that small property rights can also be issued with property certificates in the future?"
Jiang Ningyue didn't want to say anything and changed the subject, "I'll go find the person in charge of the construction unit."
"Oh." Zhou Jing nodded and continued the interview.
Jiang Ningyue came to the building under construction and asked a worker, "Hello, do you have your boss's phone number?"
"Yes." The worker took one look at Jiang Ningyue and didn't dare to look at her again.
"Help me shout."
"OK."
The worker quickly made a phone call, "Boss, Jiang Ningyue is here. She's the Jiang Ningyue from the TV station. She wants to see you."
After hanging up the phone, the worker smiled innocently and said, "Wait a moment, he will be here soon."
"Thanks."
Jiang Ningyue nodded. In less than 3 minutes, a young man came running over from a distance, panting. He nodded and bowed to Jiang Ningyue from a dozen meters away.
"Hello, reporter Jiang, I've heard a lot about you."
"What's your name?"
"My last name is Li, you can just call me Xiao Li."
"Mr. Li, please relax. We just want to understand the situation."
Jiang Ningyue brought Mr. Li, the construction company's general manager, to Zhou Jing's side. Zhou Jing's interview had already concluded. Jiang Ningyue introduced him, "This is Mr. Li from the construction company."
Zhou Jing nodded. "Hello, Mr. Li. I have a few questions for you. Just now, the homebuyer brought two contracts, one from the developer and one from the construction company. What's going on?"
"That's right."
Mr. Li was a little nervous, his body tense. "We signed a contract with Shengdi Company to build the building, but they never paid us from start to finish. After repeated requests, Shengdi Company had no choice but to sign a supplementary contract with us, which allowed us to sell the house ourselves to offset the debt."
“But you’re selling duplicate houses.”
Zhou Jing asked in return, "Don't you check when you sell it?"
Mr. Li complained, "They're being unethical. They said they'd give us five buildings, but now they've started selling these five buildings. This is totally against the rules."
Jiang Ningyue asked, "Mr. Li, do you know that the houses you built have limited property rights? Or, in other words, do you know that the procedures for these houses are incomplete?"
"Know."
Mr. Li felt a little guilty when Jiang Ningyue asked, "We asked them when we first started building the house. They showed us a construction notice with the village committee's seal on it. I said this notice didn't comply with the regulations, but they said it was okay and to go ahead with it. In the end, there were no other procedures."
Jiang Ningyue asked, "Wait, why is it the village committee that stamped it? What does this have to do with the village committee?"
Mr. Li explained, "This residential complex was originally resettlement housing for the residents of Harmony Village, and the land was also collectively owned by Harmony Village. Furthermore, the original design drawings didn't call for the current 28-story building, but rather five."
Through the explanation of Mr. Li from the construction unit, Jiang Ningyue gradually understood.
This residential complex, originally owned by Harmonious Village, was collectively owned by the village committee, and Shengdi Real Estate Company was invited by the village committee to construct the buildings. The original plan called for a "5+1" building layout, meaning five floors above ground and one floor below, with one house per household.
However, during the renovations, the resort company changed its mind and revised the blueprints, increasing the original 5 floors above ground to 22. Just last year, the developer again requested to add floors, bringing the total to the current 28 floors.
Mr. Li said, "The developer wants to add another floor, based on the 22-story blueprint, without redesigning it. This poses a serious safety hazard, and we're afraid to do it, fearing the building will collapse. However, the developer is unwilling to do so. I heard they're hiring someone to build it themselves."
Jiang Ningyue frowned after hearing this. She and Zhou Jing looked at each other and then said, "Where is the village?"
"The village is just to the north."
"Okay, Mr. Li, go ahead and do your work. Let's go to the village to find out what's going on."
Mr. Li hesitated for a moment and then asked, "Reporter Jiang, can you mosaic my image?"
"no problem."
Jiang Ningyue nodded in agreement.

At the corner of a coffee shop in Gulin City, a man leaned against a wall, smoking a cigarette to calm himself. At his feet was a black plastic bag containing a sharpened boning knife.
The cafe wasn't open yet, so the man had no choice but to wait.
He smoked one cigarette after another, and his mood calmed down a lot. He took out his mobile phone and watched Tik Tok to pass the time.
Suddenly, a familiar face appeared.
In the shaking picture, there is a flawless face and a tall and bright figure.
Voiceover: 'Reporter Jiang is here! Our problem will definitely be solved!'
The man took a deep puff of cigarette and muttered to himself: "Jiang Ningyue..."
