Yuehui's house in her hometown has been sold, so if she wants to have a place to stay in Shanghai, she has to buy a new property.
Wan Feng sighed. If she didn't sell her old house and just stayed at home for another ten years, she would become a multi-millionaire.
What is the purpose of this?
Wan Feng had seen countless stories like this in his previous life. Someone from Bei Jing sold their ancestral courtyard house and immigrated to the United States in the 1980s and 1990s. When they returned to China several years later, they found that the courtyard house they had sold was worth hundreds of millions, while they were living a half-dead life in the United States.
Some of them just regret it, but others are just weird.
This kind of shameful thing must never be admitted, so these weird people have become the main force in smearing China.
Every day on the Internet, people cite the advantages of the West and talk about the disadvantages of China.
There are all kinds of birds in the forest.
In his previous life, Wan Feng met such a weirdo in Canada on Tianya. He spoke ill of China and boasted about his Canada every day. He even showed off the little wooden house where he lived, saying that the environment was elegant and environmentally friendly.
You see, they have all been intoxicated by the sweet air of democracy and freedom in the West.
Pudong Airport was under construction, and the first phase of the project would not be open until September 1999. Wan Feng and his friends could only get off at Hongqiao Airport and then take a taxi to Pudong.
There is now a bridge connecting the Huangpu River, and many more bridges are under construction, so there is no need for ferries.
When Yuehui saw the skyscrapers rising from the ground in Lujiazui, she couldn't help but exclaimed: "Is this Lujiazui?"
When she left Shanghai, Lujiazui was just a river beach with a few scattered houses like a rural village.
"You've been away from Shanghai for twelve years, right? Pudong is now a microcosm of the changes in the country, and also a microcosm of the changes in Shanghai. In another ten years, it will be more prosperous than Xianggang."
Yue Hui murmured to herself as if in a dream, "I never thought Shanghai would change so much."
Not only has Lujiazui undergone earth-shaking changes, but from Lujiazui eastward, whether it is Gaoqiao or Waigaoqiao, there are construction sites everywhere, and the scene is bustling everywhere.
Even in the area where Huaguang Electronics is located, construction sites can be seen everywhere.
The taxi they were riding in stopped at the gate of Huaguang Electronics.
"I don't have any land or real estate in Lujiazui, but I do have one here. I'm giving Brother Yang a house as your base in Shanghai. You can pick one and transfer the property rights. Okay, now we're dismissed. Those who need to stroll can stroll, those who need to rest can rest. We'll gather again if there's anything else."
Wan Feng called Tan Sheng.
Tan Sheng is busy recruiting people. This time he is recruiting for Huaguang Chip. All the people recruited from Shanghai University will go to Shenzhen.
But no matter how busy he is, he has to come if Wan Feng calls him.
Wan Feng asked Tan Sheng to take Yang Jianguo and Yuehui to the residential area of Huaguang Electronics to pick out a house.
The lake to the south of Huaguang Electronics, which was once overgrown with weeds, has been transformed into a scenic place after the lake embankment was built and the lake bottom was cleaned and dredged in the past two years.
There are rows of green trees and patches of flowers along the lakeside, as well as pavilions, terraces, and small bridges and flowing water.
There is a man-made island in the lake, with a covered bridge and a cruise ship. Standing on the covered bridge and the island, you can see the fish swimming in the water.
It cost tens of millions of yuan to renovate Lake Wanfeng.
Huaguang Electronics' residential area is planned to be built around this lake.
The main focus now is on developing the north bank of the lake, which has now reached the sixth phase. Each phase consists of ten buildings forming a community, and each community has approximately a thousand allocated units.
The first four residential communities are almost full of employees of Huaguang Electronics. The fifth phase is now to be completed, and the foundation of the sixth phase of residential construction has just been laid.
Shanghai can be said to be the most crowded place in the country in terms of housing.
In Shanghai, it is common to see a family of several people squeezed into a house of more than ten square meters. In the late 1970s and early 1980s, the average living area per person in Shanghai was 4.5 square meters.
At that time, Shanghai implemented the same housing allocation system as the rest of the country.
Faced with a situation where there are too many wolves and too little meat, welfare housing distribution is just a pie in the sky.
Once a report is submitted, there may not be a response even after three to five years.
In order to take care of the extremely difficult households in Shanghai, the standard classification of extremely difficult households is as follows: the per capita living area is less than 2 square meters, and men and women living in the same room are over 16 years old.
Even those who meet this condition need to queue up to get housing, and families with better conditions than this have to wait even further behind.
In 1994, Shanghai issued the "Implementation Rules on the Sale of Public Housing", allowing the sale of public housing.
The price is set at 750 yuan per square meter, and discounts can be given based on length of service, position, location and room type.
With these four preferential policies, the actual selling price of public housing at that time was around 250 yuan.
At that time, Huaguang had already started development in Pudong. The houses they developed were divided into four grades ranging from 50 square meters to 80 square meters. The price sold to the company's employees was 200 yuan per square meter.
Now, the housing prices in Shanghai have risen to around 600 yuan per square meter.
In 1998, the state announced the integration of housing for export and housing for domestic sale. From that year onwards, welfare housing distribution was completely abolished and all commercial housing was implemented through land lease.
The introduction of this policy caused the price of houses in Shanghai to rise to more than 700 yuan overnight. By around 2000, the price of houses in Shanghai had exceeded 1,000 yuan per square meter.
But this has little to do with Huaguang Electronics' houses. Due to the increase in material and labor costs, the cost of houses built by Huaguang Electronics has risen to 310 square meters, but it is still half cheaper than the market price.
This price may be a bit stressful for employees of other companies, but it is basically no pressure for employees of Huaguang Electronics.
Although the salaries of Nanwan Group employees are among the best in China, they are definitely not the highest. Currently, an employee's annual salary is around 7,000 to 8,000 yuan.
However, the bonuses of Nanwan Group are very high. The first-tier year-end bonus has reached 4,000 yuan, and the second-tier bonus has reached 3,000 yuan.
As long as an employee does not violate factory rules for a year, you can see a bonus of 4,000 yuan at the end of the year.
Even if there are some minor violations, you can still get a bonus of 3,000 yuan.
Of course, don’t expect anything if you have committed serious violations. It would be a huge honor if you are not fired.
If a couple both work at Huaguang Electronics, one of them uses the salary and bonus for spending, and the other saves the salary, they can buy a house of less than 60 square meters in two years.
Therefore, while people in Shanghai were still running around looking for houses, tens of thousands of employees of Huaguang Electronics had long since freed themselves from housing pressure, and almost all of them had spacious homes that met their own standards.
This is also one of the most powerful conditions that enables Huaguang Electronics to recruit a large number of college graduates in Shanghai.
