Chapter 2611: A Good Opportunity that Makes Him Embarrassed
Shenzhen, Feng Yiping watched Zhang Qiuling walking over proudly with the support of her mother, holding her belly, and stood up with a smile. He first said hello to her mother, Mrs. Principal Zhang, and then looked at her and said, "Time flies. Time flies. The moon flies like a shuttle..."
"Stop it," Zhang Qiuling said immediately, "Let me remind you first, you can't be angry with me now,"
"How could that happen?" Feng Yiping said immediately.
When her mother got up and went to get some delicious food, he whispered something that made Zhang Qiuling happy, "You are not fat at all. Really, you are much better than Jingping before."
This was very effective. Zhang Qiuling immediately said, "This is the first time in so many years that I heard you praise me so much. Although the authenticity is questionable, hahaha, I am still happy."
"Don't you know the reason why I seldom praise you?" Feng Yiping pointed at Xiao Zhijie, who was also smiling, "You are the one he likes, he is my brother, and there is a saying between us men... "
Before Zhang Qiuling could smile again, he stood up with a smile and said, "Master, there are so many delicious foods,"
"Yiping, sit down quickly and don't be so polite," Zhang Qiuling's mother said hurriedly.
Xiao Zhijie, who was next to her, had already been very discerning and picked up the two large plates of peeled fruit in her hand.
Feng Yiping was sure that he would never be so discerning in front of his own mother. This could also be said to be another kind of difference between inside and outside.
After asking Huang Jingping and her children a few questions, Zhang's mother immediately turned the conversation to the three of them, "You three are really rare. Zhijie and Changning, it's thanks to you..."
Feng Yiping interrupted her, "Master's wife," he hugged Xiao Zhijie and Wang Changning, "Let's not talk about this between us."
"Yes," Xiao Zhijie was stuffing fruit in his mouth. At this time, he forked a large piece of apple and stuffed it into Feng Yiping's mouth. "We won't talk about this."
Because some words really seem light to say.
Zhang Qiuling looked at the three of them with a smile and said, "I really can't stand you being like this."
"Yulian, let's go up and leave the three of them alone for a while,"
"Then I don't guarantee that I will return it to you," Feng Yiping said.
"Take it with you, it's annoying to look at it," Zhang Qiuling waved her hand.
Xiao Zhijie really wanted to ask at this time, why is it always me who gets hurt?
"My temper seems to be getting louder again," Wang Changning looked at their backs and said quietly.
"Don't be envious, you're getting there soon," Xiao Zhijie said, "Follow her now and wait until the child is born, hum!"
"At that time, we have to obey her," Feng Yiping and Wang Changning said in unison.
"You two are bad friends," Xiao Zhijie pointed at them helplessly, "Life is so difficult, and I met you two,"
He stood up with a smile, "Go for a walk?"
"Okay." When Feng Yiping stood up, he also picked up a plate of fruits. He really couldn't eat it without looking at it and carried it away.
They were currently in the villa area of Xiangmi Lake. The main reason why they moved here from a high-rise apartment was to reduce the possibility of Zhang Qiuling being stimulated.
Shenzhen this year, speaking of it, is really not peaceful.
First, the stock market continued to plummet, and it seemed that it was not improving at all as the Olympics were approaching day by day.
But to make matters worse, starting from the second half of last year, the property market has also entered a downward channel, and the decline seems to be even more fierce than the stock market.
Putting these two things together... some high-rise buildings in the city immediately strengthened their security facilities. Even so, they still couldn't guard against those who took everything lightly.
"The stock market..." Wang Changning shook his head, "The property market is flat, what do you think?"
"Prepare money," Feng Yiping whispered. "By the end of the year, let's put it this way, those in good locations and originally high-end homes can buy 50 units, but they will never buy 49 units."
"So, do you agree with Professor Xu's point of view?" Xiao Zhijie asked.
The Professor Xu he was talking about was a party to a gambling game that everyone in Shenzhen was paying attention to.
Last year, housing prices in Shenzhen experienced a surge... Or, we can extend the timeline a little longer.
It can be said that housing prices in Shenzhen are closely related to those in Hong Kong.
Before the handover, starting around 1995, the Hong Kong property market began to surge. A large number of Hong Kong people were desperately speculating in real estate because they all knew that Hong Kong would become a land grab for the wealthy from the mainland.
All property prices are not afraid of rising prices, and there will always be people to take over the purchase. (As a result, in the year of the return, the Asian financial crisis took the lead, and not many people in the mainland took over the purchase. Those who had wishful thinking can also be said to be very miserable...) .
But not everyone in Hong Kong is rich. Under the pressure of high housing prices, many Hong Kong people have begun to overflow. Their first choice of place to leave is the place closest to Hong Kong and most similar to Hong Kong: Shenzhen Special Economic Zone, also known as Guannai.
Let me give you an example of why they did this. At that time, the price of Longzhu Garden in Hong Kong was 10,000 yuan per square meter, while the price in Shenzhen Customs was only 2,000 yuan!
Is there anything more cheap than this?
This brought about the first wave of Shenzhen real estate market, and then came the year 2003 that we all know.
In 2003, due to the impact of SARS, Shenzhen real estate was hit hard.
In order to sell the property, the intermediary companies at that time adopted many methods, and the common method was negative down payment.
For example, a three-bedroom apartment of about 90 square meters outside the customs costs a total of 220,000, but you can finally borrow 270,000, and the extra 50,000 is for decoration.
To buy a house like this, you just need to put down a few thousand yuan as a down payment, and the bank will take the rest of the money for you.
The aftermath of SARS had a long-lasting impact, and it was not until last year that significant changes occurred.
Before 2003, the average price in the city could reach 4,000 yuan. In 2006, it was only 6,000+ yuan. But last year, due to the stock market surge, the Olympics, and other factors, the average price in the city directly reached 12,500 yuan, and the highest price had soared to 17,500 yuan!
It jumped more than 50% in one year!
Starting from the local area, he was already successful at this time, but later on the entertainment page, more real estate bosses said conscientiously, "Ordinary people can no longer afford to buy houses."
He also said that if the housing prices rise again, something will happen, and proposed the inflection point theory, and let his company take the lead in reducing prices across the country - as a result, he became the target of public criticism. The government did not like him, his peers did not like him, and those who owned houses and those who speculated in houses did not like him.
When the public was still uncertain about this, in July last year, Xu Dianqing, an economist at Capital University, said in the newspaper: Shenzhen housing prices will definitely rise. This is an inevitable law of economic development, just like the eastward flow of the river, and it is definitely not called by anyone.
He also promised, "If the housing prices in Shenzhen are one cent lower than now next year (July 11, 2008), I will use a full-page article in the newspaper to apologize to the citizens of Shenzhen."
His words immediately attracted the attention of the folk economist Niu Dao, and a war between Xu and Niu broke out...
Now, the situation of Professor Xu is almost the same as that of Ren Dapao who was thrown a shoe later, and he is almost the target of public criticism.
Because since August last year, Shenzhen's housing prices have changed. That month, many second-phase projects were launched, and compared with the first phase, they did not rise!
By the end of last year, the housing market and the stock market had almost plummeted together...
To this day, the housing prices in many communities have been nearly halved, and it is not uncommon to see luxury houses with a direct discount of 50%.
Feng Yiping probably remembers that those real estate agents who have not yet closed down or run away will soon shout out "4988 yuan/square meter outside the customs" and "7380 yuan/square meter inside the customs" (now it seems like a dream).
The media has reported a lot of news about owners smashing and destroying sales offices because of the sharp drop in housing prices due to the second or third and fourth phases of the project.
Although the media did not report it, many people have stopped paying their mortgages.
Xiao Zhijie gave an example, "An old employee of the company paid a down payment of 160,000 yuan in July last year and bought a 70-square-meter two-bedroom apartment. The house price was 11,000 yuan at the time, and it is less than 7,000 yuan now. He wants to stop paying his mortgage,"
"Because this house is not worth 500,000 yuan now, but if he continues to pay, he will have to pay the bank more than 1 million yuan, so it is better not to pay,"
"The current negative assets will definitely be one of their most important assets in 5 or 10 years. If you can persuade your colleagues in the company about such things, please persuade them," said Feng Yiping.
He can imagine the pain in the hearts of those who stopped paying their mortgages now in a few years...
He thought about it, maybe, by the end of the year, he could reserve more apartments here for future employees?
He couldn't help but think about it, if all the money Li Ruiyuan earned in the UK was invested in real estate here, what kind of fortune he could make in the future?
However, that would be too hateful.
So, let's not talk about that idea for now, but some of his companies can't miss such an opportunity, which is why he came today. Zhou Xinyu will arrive in the afternoon, and Xu Bin will also come from Yangcheng. He will hold a meeting with the two heads of convenience stores and express hotels.
ps: Although the housing prices in the mainland were relatively stable at that time, the setting of the housing prices in the previous chapter was a bit imprecise, which has been corrected. Also, Monday is here, and the end of the month is also here, don't forget to vote for recommendations and monthly tickets, dear!
