Chapter 133 Free, no one will cherish it
Xiao Huang raised his hand and pointed at the sales control list, wanting to cry but having no tears. He didn't buy the house that was just priced at 9,000 yuan per square meter. After making a fuss in Haiwan Yiyuen for a few hours, the price here in Qingshijie had increased by more than 1,500 yuan per square meter. At least 100,000 yuan was gone!
MD, my old parents have been farming for their entire lives and have only saved this much money!
I was completely wiped out in just a few hours! How could I face my parents? How could I talk about buying a house?
Xiao Huang was extremely heartbroken. He opened his mouth and wanted to say something, but no sound came out.
"I'm sorry, sir. The houses priced at 9,000 yuan per square meter have been sold out. There are only four left. If you don't buy them, they may be sold out soon. The next launch will be three months later. Hurry up..." the property consultant urged.
"You, you guys, you guys are cheating people!"
Ning Weiguang completely broke down emotionally and yelled with a sad face. He really didn't expect that after all his scheming and running around, he still got nothing in the end.
"We are open for business, prices are clearly marked, and we don't force anyone to buy or sell. How can we be considered as cheating people?" No matter how good-tempered the little girl was, she couldn't help but complain.
“You, you…”
Ning Weiguang searched for reasons but couldn't find a suitable one to refute.
At this time, another wave of people came into the sales office. After a brief chat, they waved their hands and the few remaining houses were gone, as if the money was not money at all.
Ning Weiguang stared blankly at the sales control list, in disbelief. Five hundred houses had just been put on the market, and in less than half a day, they were gone? Just gone?
Buying groceries?
It's unbelievable.
The house was sold and there was no point in arguing anymore, so the two of them had no choice but to return to Jingu Building in despair, walked in, took the elevator and went to the office.
Halfway through the walk, Xiao Huang suddenly thought of something and said, "Director Ning, I'm going to the bathroom. Please go back to the office first."
"Oh." Ning Weiguang sighed and returned to the office.
Xiao Huang's expression changed, and he knocked on the door and entered Li Feng's trading room.
"Hey, Xiao Huang? Come, have some tea--"
Li Feng asked in surprise.
"Hey...Brother Feng, what's going on?" Xiao Huang sighed, sat down on the chair beside the tea table, and started to talk.
"I sold a house for 7,500 yuan per square meter, and now I can't even buy one for 8,500 yuan. The Light World, which just opened today, is now over 10,000 yuan! The house across the street I sold has gone up even more, now it's 12,500 yuan. That's a difference of 5,000 yuan per square meter! That's hundreds of thousands of yuan!"
"Oh my god, even if you sell me, I wouldn't be worth that much!"
"If I had known earlier, I would have listened to your advice and not checked out. Sigh..."
"Brother Feng, please tell me whether I should buy this house or not. I will definitely listen to you this time."
Xiao Huang kept sighing and regretting a lot.
Li Feng looked at him and asked seriously, "Xiao Huang, why did you buy a house?"
"marry."
"Can't I just not buy it?"
"I have to buy one! My girlfriend, her family and I have already agreed that we will get married after we buy a house. How can we get married without one?" Xiao Huang said.
"Is it not possible to get married?"
"Brother Feng, are you kidding? How can I not get married? If I don't get married, will I be a bachelor all my life? Our family has been a single-son family for three generations. If I don't get married, there will be no descendants. No, I really can't!" Xiao Huang shook his head like a rattle.
Li Feng continued:
"Look, isn't your housing problem simple? Since you can't afford the risk of not buying a house, then you have to buy one. You have a typical rigid demand. Since it's a rigid demand, don't talk about the price. It's like eating and drinking water. Get it first, then talk about it later."
"But, but this price is really a bit expensive, I can't afford it! Alas... and what if the housing prices drop?" Xiao Huang hesitated.
Li Feng shook his head and said, "Xiao Huang, don't take risks you can't afford. Come, let's have some tea first..."
"Oh... I'll ask my parents and my girlfriend..." Xiao Huang sighed, drank tea and sent WeChat messages.
After a while, he weighed it over and over again, figured it out, and said:
"Brother Feng, I've figured it out. I'm buying! Even if the price goes up to 15,000 yuan, I'll still buy it! I just need it. I'm not speculating in real estate. What does profit or loss have to do with me? I just want to settle down first, build a home, and get married."
"Brother Feng, you have a lot of connections. Do you have any way to help me find a cheap house? Please introduce me to one. I'll beg you for help."
Li Feng glanced at Zhao Xinyue who was sitting next to him, pondered for a moment, and said, "Xiao Huang, I have a friend who actually has a house in the Light World that he wants to sell. It's a small two-bedroom house of 80 square meters, priced at 8,500 yuan per square meter. However, the name change fee is 20,000 yuan."
"The 20,000 yuan name change fee works out to less than 8,800 yuan per square meter, making the total price 700,000 yuan. I'll take out a 30% loan, so the down payment is 210,000 yuan. I can borrow some money from my sister tonight, so it shouldn't be a problem," Xiao Huang calculated silently in his mind and replied, "Brother Feng, leave the house to me. If the layout is good, I'll take it! Don't give it to anyone else!"
"Do you have a floor plan now?"
"Yes, it's Room 802, Unit 2, Building 11. Go search online and take a look. I'll put a deposit on this house for you for one day. Please write me back within that day."
"Okay! I'll go check it out first."
Upon hearing this, Xiao Huang happily returned to the office and began to check the house's layout, orientation, location, and lighting...
Ning Weiguang took a look and asked curiously, "Xiao Huang, isn't the house in the Light World gone? What are you still looking at?"
"I just went to have tea with Brother Feng, and it just so happened that his friend had a house for only 8,500 yuan per square meter. He said he could keep it for me for a day and then transfer it to me! Oh, there is always a way out! 8,500 yuan per square meter is not bad, the sooner I buy it, the more secure it will be, and the sooner I can get married..."
Xiao Huang showed off while checking,
"Tsk, tsk, this house is really nice, a bright and square floor plan, floor-to-ceiling windows, great lighting, and north-south ventilation... No, I have to go find Brother Feng and book the house!"
Xiao Huang has found a house, but he doesn’t know where the house he wants to buy is.
Ning Weiguang felt very uncomfortable when he heard this. Suddenly, he remembered the scene he saw with Li Feng in the sales office. Suddenly, he had an epiphany. He stopped Xiao Huang and said:
"Xiao Huang, I saw Li Feng at the Light World sales office this morning. He might have been the one reselling this house! No wonder the house sold so quickly. It turns out they were all reselling it to someone inside. Xiao Huang, don't be fooled. Cheap houses are not always easy to come by, so don't hang your head against the wall!"
"No way? Director, could you have recognized the wrong person?"
"I absolutely didn't admit my mistake. We left one after another, and he left right after us. Both were led by the sales manager. How could I admit my mistake? You must not go!" Ning Weiguang grabbed Xiao Huang.
Xiao Huang hesitated, thought about it again, and firmly pushed Ning Weiguang's hand away, saying:
"Director, I have to buy this house. I can't get married if I don't! I can still afford it if I buy it now. If the house price goes up again, I won't be able to afford it and won't be able to get married. Director, you're already married and have a child. Please don't stop me. I beg you."
"You—you—ah—"
Ning Weiguang was helpless.
Xiao Huang returned to Li Feng's trading room to discuss the name change.
Li Feng had already called Yao Jiu, made an appointment, and arranged for the two to change their names.
Upon hearing this, Xiao Huang expressed his gratitude again. After returning to the office, he opened the website again, looked at the floor plan, and lay back in his chair, feeling relaxed. He sighed inwardly, "Where there is a will, there is a way. Finally, I'm going to own a house! I'm going to get married too!"
After Xiao Huang left, Zhao Xinyue closed the door, took another look, and asked in a low voice, "Li Feng, Xiao Huang is pretty good. Why don't you give him the spot you got? You'll still make 20,000 yuan from him."
Li Feng laughed after hearing this:
"Xinyue, you're so kind to do me a favor. You know, a name change like this would cost at least 30,000 yuan, or even more. 20,000 yuan is already a small amount for me."
"Besides, let me tell you, if I really gave it to him for free, he wouldn't necessarily be grateful to me, nor would he cherish it. Some people might even blame me for not telling him earlier, why I didn't give it to him for free, why I didn't take him with me to 'get' the order."
“Everyone likes free things, but no one cherishes them.”
"Just like this novel I wrote, if it's free, very few people will truly cherish it and read it carefully. However, if I charge a fee, many people will definitely read it carefully and savor it thoroughly. If I charge 1,688 yuan, even more people will treasure it like a treasure and keep it secret, as if they had found some secret manual of divine power."
"This...is impossible..." Zhao Xinyue almost laughed as she listened.
Li Feng said:
"Really? That's the sunk cost, a human psychology. If it's free, it doesn't cost anything, so if you throw it away, you'll just throw it away. If you miss it, you'll miss it. But if it's paid for, especially if it costs a lot of money, you have to cherish it even if it's worthless, because you really spent money on it, and it's worth it even if it's not worth it."
"It's like you spend 100 yuan on a movie ticket, but after entering the theater, you find the movie is not good. But if you leave, wouldn't the 100 yuan be wasted? So, many people hold their noses and watch the movie to 'earn' their 100 yuan back. It's like many supermarkets having promotions and selling eggs at a loss. Many customers come here, they can't just buy eggs and go home empty-handed. They have to take something with them so they don't leave empty-handed."
"It's the same thing in the stock market. Many people buy the wrong stocks and, faced with losses, are reluctant to cut their losses. Instead, they keep adding to their positions. This is because they can't get over this hurdle. They always think, 'If I cut my losses, won't the paper loss become a real loss? Then won't the loss be in vain?' As a result, they make the same mistake over and over again, and they are trapped."
"Don't you know that your market value is the funds you can control now? Those figures in the past are just a few clouds. Everything is just your psychological reaction to sunk costs. If you have no confidence, no hope, and no plan for your position, then don't hold it for a second, otherwise it means further losses."
After saying that, Li Feng turned on the computer again to observe the market.
Today is Tuesday, July 19, 2016.
The Shanghai Composite Index opened at 3040 points and closed at 3036 points, down 4 points (-0.23%), with a small lower shadow. The trading volume was 187.2 billion yuan, shrinking again.
The ChiNext Index opened low at 2249 points and closed at 2273 points, up 23 points, or 1.06%, with a small positive line and a trading volume of 36.7 billion.
Li Feng looks quite normal.
However, many people think it is extraordinary, because including today's small negative line, the Shanghai Composite Index has been negative for four consecutive days, and the trading volume has been shrinking again and again. Many investors have published technical analysis articles in stock forums to analyze the market trend.
Most people are not optimistic, and the main argument is that the stock will fall if it is kept open for a long time, and the volume and price are low.
Blue-chip stocks are generally adjusting, especially the liquor sector, which fell by 2.19%!
Kweichow Moutai fell 2.58%, from 326 yuan to 308 yuan, Wuliangye plummeted 4.19%, from 38.8 yuan to 35.47 yuan, Jiugui Liquor fell 3.33%, from the highest point of 25.11 yuan to 21.62 yuan!
