Chapter 63 The Future of Zhong Yuemin and Others
The real estate market these days is very strange. Gao Jialin spent several thousand yuan to build a few kilns in his hometown. Now in Shanghai, he can find such a good villa for only 20,000 yuan.
It is incredible that the cost of buying a three-hole cave dwelling in the mountains of northern Shaanxi is more than one-tenth of the total price of an old villa in the prosperous area of Shanghai.
However, the reality was right in front of Gao Jialin. This was the real situation of the real estate market in the 1980s. Houses in the city were all allocated by units, and people had no concept of spending money to buy a house. If anyone spent money to buy a house, others would think he was a fool. You had to waste money on something that you could get for free.
However, you have to pay for the construction of a house in the countryside. The prices of bricks, lime and cement are fixed, and the labor cost is not cheap either. Those with some money can spend several thousand yuan to build themselves a whole yard, while those without money can only slowly save up materials and then exchange labor with others. It may take several years to build a house.
After looking the house inside and out, Gao Jialin found that the house was just as he had expected. The overall structure was well preserved, but the decoration and furniture inside were in a mess. If he wanted to live in it comfortably, he would have to spend a lot of money.
This is also the main reason why the house was not sold. Nowadays, there are very few people who can afford 20,000 yuan to buy a house, and even fewer who can spare some money to renovate the house. There are even many things that you can't buy even if you have money.
Such a big house must have air conditioning and TV. TV is still okay, but air conditioners nowadays are a luxury item, costing thousands of yuan, and good ones can cost tens of thousands, not to mention the identity and procedures required to buy an air conditioner.
But these problems are not so bad, there will always be ways to solve them in the future. If you miss such a villa, you may never find it again in the future, so Gao Jialin decided to buy it after seeing it.
Before that, Gao Jialin had one last question to ask, "What is the situation of the owner of this house? Are all the formalities in place?"
"The owner of the house used to be a big businessman in Shanghai. He has only one son and one daughter. They are both planning to go to Hong Kong to join their uncle. They will not stay in Shanghai in the future. All the paperwork is also complete. Look, it's all here!" Xie Chao opened the file bag and showed it to Gao Jialin.
The documents in the file clearly stated that these two people were the owners of the house and there was no other property rights dispute. Gao Jialin was finally relieved. "The house is not bad, but can you lower the price a little bit?"
"You've made your decision after just seeing one house? Why don't you take a closer look?" Xie Chao couldn't help but remind him. This is 20,000 yuan. He would have to think for several days when he spends 20 yuan to buy a piece of clothing. How could Gao Jialin be so casual in buying a house worth 20,000 yuan?
"I will definitely have to look at the next few houses. Can we negotiate the price first? I'll buy whichever one offers the best value when the time comes!" In fact, Gao Jialin wanted to buy any suitable one, but unfortunately he didn't have enough money right now, and buying so many houses would be a bit eye-catching, so he could only take a look first.
"That's right, I'll ask for you later!"
The three of them spent all their time today looking at houses. Although the other two houses were not as good as this one, they would still be super luxury houses worth tens of millions in the future. Gao Jialin kept all the information in mind for the time being.
After the filming, Gao Jialin invited Xie Chao to a restaurant for a big meal. Before leaving, he asked the restaurant to prepare a few more dishes and pack them for him to take back for his wife and children. Xie Chao was very satisfied. He could eat and take away at the same time. Today's hard work was worth it!
Before leaving, he offered, "Tomorrow at work, I'll look through more information and ask other colleagues. If there's a suitable house, I'll call you and we'll make an appointment to continue looking!"
"Then thank you for your help!" Gao Jialin wished he could find more houses for him.
As soon as Xie Chao left, Niu Xinliang immediately reminded him, "Jia Lin, you have to hurry up with the new book, otherwise where will the money for the house come from?"
"Don't worry, I have thought of the outline. In the second part, I plan to focus on the period from graduation from university to entering the workplace, to describe the joys and sorrows of the new generation of college students during the transition from the ivory tower to society. What do you think of this main line?" Gao Jialin asked.
Niu Xinliang's eyes lit up. "That's a great idea! The two periods of college life that attract the most attention from readers are the beginning of freshman year and the end of senior year. Your last book was about freshman year, so this one is perfect for senior year!"
"You are only a freshman now. Can you write a good story about this period of time?" Niu Xinliang thought this topic was very good. His only concern was Gao Jialin's age and experience.
"I have been very busy these past few months. I have been chatting with seniors who are in the fourth year or have already graduated. I have written down a lot of conversation records. It shouldn't be a problem to write these down!"
Gao Jialin met a lot of people in the official document writing training course. Through their introductions, he also met some college graduates. After chatting with them, he got all the materials together.
"You write out the outline first. If I think it's okay, I'll show it to the editor-in-chief. If he thinks it's okay, then just write it!" Niu Xinliang was still a little worried.
"Okay, I'll give it to you next week!"
After returning to the dormitory, Gao Jialin spread out the lazy desk, took out the manuscript paper, and began to write. It was so easy to arrange the future for Zhong Yuemin and the others. He just had to write according to the original work.
Song Yunhui wanted to go to Jinzhou Chemical Plant to contribute to the development of the country's chemical industry, but he didn't know that his roommate Yu Shanqing also had his eyes on this position. He felt that Jinzhou Chemical Plant was a leading enterprise in the domestic chemical industry, with good treatment and broad development prospects, and he would definitely live a good life if he went there.
However, Jinzhou Factory only had one enrollment quota at the Shanghai College this year, and Yu Shanqing got it through the back door. Song Yunhui could only force a smile and congratulate his roommate, and then feel secretly disappointed alone.
The handsome boy Qi Tongwei is favored by the school counselor Liang Lu. Liang Lu hints to Qi Tongwei that as long as he agrees to be with her, she can use her family connections to keep him in the big city.
Qi Tongwei already had a secret crush on Chen Yang at this time. He wanted to return to Handong Province with Chen Yang to develop, so he decisively rejected Liang Lu.
Who knew that Liang Lu's father was a senior leader of Handong Province, and he directly sent Qi Tongwei to a rural judicial office, and even said that young people should first go to the grassroots for training, and then be promoted and reused after they have been trained well in the future.
Zhou Bingyi was much wiser than him. He returned to his hometown in Jiangxia Province as soon as he graduated and married his high school classmate Hao Dongmei. At this time, Hao Dongmei's father had been rehabilitated and resumed his job. With his care, Zhou Bingyi got a good job.
But Zhou Bingyi also has his own troubles. His father-in-law and mother-in-law look down on his ordinary working-class family. There are many frictions between the two families, and the two young people are caught in the middle.
Tian Xiaoxia returned to her hometown to work as a reporter, Zhou Xiaobai went to a military hospital, and Zhou Rong joined a magazine and met a poet who was much older than her.
He had already thought of all the other supporting roles, except Zhong Yuemin, which made him a little embarrassed. How should he arrange this kid?
