Liu Yun: "And then you all got involved? Constantly battling wits with the developers?"
Mother Yu: "Well, it's not like it'll happen every day. After all, we still have to fight for the benefits we deserve."
Liu Yun: "Whatever makes you happy."
It's often said that older people need to be active and energetic, and it seems that's true.
Look at these old folks, they get more energetic the more they fuss! As long as they don't collapse, they can do whatever they want.
Mother Yu: "The negotiations here are almost complete. If we want the house, we can get it within a year. The house is not far from here, and we went to see it. It's not bad. The compensation is also 1 to 2.3."
Liu Yun was a little surprised to hear "2.3". She didn't expect that these old men and women actually had some skills.
"They've really reached an agreement?"
Mother Yu: "We've reached an agreement. The order of housing allocation is based on the number of houses. Your houses total more than 1,440 square meters, which is among the top, and you're in the first batch to choose houses."
Liu Yun: "When the time comes, we shouldn't choose a house on a floor that's too high up."
Mother Yu: "They are all 15-story buildings with elevators. I've looked at some, and a few buildings have 200-square-meter units per floor, with four bedrooms, two living rooms, and a kitchen. They're pretty good. We can exchange for two units, and then we can choose the sixth floor."
Liu Yun: "How many households are on one floor?"
Mother Yu: "Four households."
Liu Yun: "We can choose any of the four units on the sixth floor, and exchange the rest for 150-square-meter apartments. We can exchange for 17 more units. I wonder if we can pay some money to exchange for an entire building as well."
Mother Yu: "It should be possible. When we couldn't reach an agreement on compensation, most people wanted to exchange it for cash. In the end, the developer made a concession. It seems that they want all the homeowners to choose the resettlement housing, so it shouldn't be a problem for you to pay more to buy one."
Liu Yun: "Is the location of that neighborhood alright?"
Mother Yu: "It's alright, the environment is also acceptable."
Liu Yun: "Let's talk about it then!"
Liu Yun and Qiao Ying both own a relatively large number of houses, although not the most, but still in the top tier, so they were among the first to be negotiated.
Liu Yun wanted to pay more to get a whole building plus four apartments totaling 200 square meters. Qiao Ying saw that Liu Yun was paying more to upgrade to a different building, so she followed suit, thinking that following Liu Yun in this matter would definitely be better.
The developer is currently in need of cash flow, so the negotiations went exceptionally smoothly. In fact, because the two were working together and wanted more houses, they received a significant discount, even lower than the market price.
And just like that, Liu Yun acquired another building.
Mr. Yu was amazed by the speed at which Liu Yun was hoarding properties; this was yet another building she had acquired. Mr. Yu was also very envious.
Yu's mother even joked with Liu Yun, "You're definitely going to be a landlady from now on!"
Liu Yun: "Haven't I been doing this for a long time? I've been doing it for over ten years."
When Yu's mother thought of the house she bought years ago, she said, "I had forgotten about that. In 1980, the rent you collected each month was more than the salary of an average family."
After all, that's more than ten houses. Each house has a courtyard of more than 200 square meters and costs ten yuan a month, which is a hundred yuan a month.
Moreover, many of them are shops, which started at ten yuan a month. The rent was raised several times later, but she received the smallest increase. With so many shops and houses combined, the monthly rent is not a small amount.
Leaving aside other places, in the nearby cities alone, Jin Yi Ge didn't charge rent, but the others did, and they charged every six months, each time amounting to tens of thousands of yuan.
