Chapter 158: Borrowing money to buy a house
When Shi Luo heard what Sister Zhou said, he was not happy that Mr. Jiang had received the so-called honor. Instead, he frowned.
"Grandpa Jiang was lucky this time. In fact, compared to these honors and rewards, I would rather the thief had never appeared. You said that this was just bad luck for the thief. The first house he stole was a young and middle-aged man.
If the first house robbed was my Grandpa Jiang's, then let alone catching the thief, it's not certain whether Grandpa Jiang and Grandma Jiang would be able to escape unharmed. After all, the thief has killed people before, and my Grandpa Jiang and Grandma Jiang are old. If they meet the thief, I'm afraid they won't be able to resist him."
Uncle Chu: "That's right, that's right."
"Hour, come out for a moment."
Shi Luo was considering whether to go to see Mr. Jiang in the evening when he heard someone calling him.
When I looked up, I saw Mr. Jiang standing at the door.
Shi Luo didn't even have time to put down the melon seeds in his hand. He stood up and walked out quickly.
"Grandpa, I heard about what happened last night. I was saying that Hao and I would go see you after get off work tonight. I didn't expect so many things to happen after we left. By the way, are you and grandma okay?"
Grandpa Jiang patted Shi Luo's shoulder and said to him, "Don't worry, I guess you should know about this in the morning.
After all, the girl Zhou sitting in your office is well-known in our factory for knowing everything. If anything happens, she will definitely know everything within a day.
Your grandma and I are both fine, but we didn't sleep well last night. I came to the factory to ask for leave and go back to catch up on some sleep. I thought since I'm already at the factory, I might as well tell you so that you and Haohao won't worry.
Haohao, I won't go. He's probably very busy these days. Just tell him when you see him. Don't come to our place at night.
Your grandma and I were so frightened yesterday. After we have a good sleep today, we are going to eat roast duck and watch a movie to calm down our frightened mood. We don’t have time to serve you two.
Okay, I'm done talking to you and I'll leave. Oh, I'm getting old and I just can't stay up late. I'm so sleepy."
Shi Luo felt helpless when he saw Mr. Jiang yawning and turning away, so he could only go back to the office.
When Sister Zhou saw Shi Luo come in, she asked, "Is Grandpa okay?"
Shi Luo nodded and said, "I'm fine. I just didn't get enough rest yesterday. I asked for leave to go back and rest."
Sister Zhou: "I'm glad you're okay. I just heard vaguely that Mr. Jiang is going to eat roast duck tonight. Oh, that's great! I haven't eaten roast duck in almost a year."
Shi Luo also admired Sister Zhou's hearing. She could hear people talking quietly with the door closed, "Ah, yes, Grandpa was frightened last night, so he thought he'd have some roast duck to nourish himself today. Old people need to eat more."
Guyu stared at Shi Luo eagerly and asked in a delicate voice, "Brother Shi, was that old man your grandfather?"
When Shi Luo heard Guyu's pretentious voice, he felt goosebumps all over his body. He shook off his tears quickly and didn't want to look at Guyu at all, for fear of being clingy.
He quickly lowered his head, picked up the water cup, and blew gently on the hot water in the cup. He didn't even look up when he spoke, his voice was cold.
"He's not my biological grandfather, but my adopted grandfather."
Guyu saw that Shi Luo didn't dare to look at him, and thought that Shi Luo was shy and didn't dare to look up at him. Thinking of this, he lowered his head, smiled, and didn't ask any more questions.
Liang Song shook the newspaper in his hand and said nonchalantly, "I heard from my mother that the new buildings that are being built behind our factory are basically residential buildings for family members. Only one or two will be used as dormitories. The rest of the buildings can be distributed to workers as long as they pay money. I don't know if it's true."
Uncle Chu: "It's true. This idea was suggested by Xiao Qian from our department's Office No. 1. We originally planned to build two buildings, each with five floors, for staff dormitories.
Later, when our factory employees found out, they started complaining that there weren't enough houses to live in, and asked us to build a few more buildings to serve as family housing.
The factory leaders all care about the people, and the factory has enough money, so we submitted a report and applied to the higher-ups. The higher-ups agreed, so we started working overtime to build the house.
As a result, the house was almost completed, but the money available in the factory was not enough to pay the final payment for the project. Our factory director was a person who didn't want to owe anyone money, so he called on everyone in the factory to find a way to submit the project with this small amount of money.
Actually, originally the factory had enough money to build the house, but then our factory suddenly received an urgent order, and the materials for the factory building were insufficient, so we purchased another batch of materials, which left us with a shortfall of money.
Later, during a meeting, Xiao Qian proposed the idea of letting the employees contribute a large sum of money and the factory contribute a small sum, and then build a house together, and then return the house to the employees in the end.
The staff housing plan has already been submitted to the factory director and has been approved for a long time. I estimate that the notice will be issued today or tomorrow.
The main reason is that the house is almost finished, otherwise the notice wouldn’t have come so soon.”
When Sister Zhou heard about the house, she looked worried. "Oh, this is the plan that makes me worried. The factory is not building the house entirely with the factory's money.
Instead, the factory pays a small part and the workers pay the majority. To put it bluntly, the factory organizes people to build houses and then sells the built houses to the workers in the factory.
Even temporary workers can join the housing purchase program, but they can only buy houses in the factory. Free welfare housing will definitely not be allocated to temporary workers.
What is this plan called the Loan to House Plan?
The first batch of houses built this time will be used as debt to repay the workers. In other words, workers who lend money to the factory can definitely get a house. Moreover, this batch of houses is different from welfare houses.
At that time, the factory will sign an agreement with the workers who lent money to the factory. They will have the permanent right to use the house. Even if they are no longer workers in the factory, they, their families and descendants can live in this house forever.
In fact, it is equivalent to building a house with your own money, which is no different from building a house on a base in the countryside, except that we build a small building.
After distributing houses to the workers in the factory, if there are any extra houses, they will be used as free welfare houses to help the factory solve the housing shortage problem of workers.
However, the nature of this type of housing is the same as the employee housing in the previous unit, which is only provided for regular factory workers to live in. If a worker dies or resigns, the factory has the right to reclaim the house and continue to distribute it as welfare housing to other workers.
