Chat About Real Estate

The first two chapters talked about real estate, and I feel that everyone has quite different opinions on this matter.

Let's talk a few words... and talk about my own feelings.

Let me state first, I am not advocating anything, what I write is my feelings after living for nearly forty years.

Real estate is something that more people criticize than praise.

Housing prices are too high, squeezing the living space at the bottom, and causing various social problems. Basically, anyone can talk about the disadvantages of real estate. Because these are closely related to everyone's life.

I also complain that housing prices are too high, but if you say that real estate has all kinds of harm but no benefit, I really don't agree. Because my current life is also closely related to the development of real estate.

I was born in a small county town. When I was a child, Hong Kong movies were always shown in the video theaters in the streets and alleys. Subconsciously, I felt...wow, Hong Kong is so developed, with so many high-rise buildings. Hong Kong people are really happy, and their lives are much better than ours.

At that time, whoever had a relative in Hong Kong was a very powerful thing.

And I went to Shenzhen after graduating from school. I have lived in Shenzhen for more than ten years, and I have no plan to return to my hometown.

Why?

The reason why a big city is a big city gives people the most intuitive feeling that there are many houses, spacious roads and convenient life. Of course, housing prices are ridiculously expensive.

And I only come to my hometown once every few years. In the past few years, I also began to lament the sudden changes in the small county of my hometown. All kinds of residential buildings have popped up, and housing prices are also rising, which also feels outrageous.

Moreover, there are many more people in the county town, all of whom come to work in the county town from the villages below the county level. These people often just open a small restaurant or something like that, working from dawn to dusk, it's very hard work.

But if you want to ask these farmers from the countryside, can they afford a house in the county? I dare say that with their income, they will feel that the housing prices in the county are too expensive to afford.

Since I feel that housing prices in big cities are expensive, why don't I go back to a small county?

Since farmers who have moved to the city feel that housing prices in the county are expensive, why don't they go back to the countryside?

When I want to ask this question, all complaints become meaningless.

Why?

Because a big city has the convenience of a big city, more job opportunities, more income, and better supporting facilities, which is much better than a small county in my hometown.

If you can't get along in a big city, it will be even more difficult in a small county.

If you can't get along in the county town, it will be even harder to return to the countryside to work in agriculture.

We have been on the road of large-scale urbanization for the past 20 or 30 years. Urbanization means building houses, building bridges and roads, power supply and water supply, developing transportation, communication services, hospitals, police, and solving problems. A series of problems related to basic necessities of life.

To solve these problems will provide huge jobs, otherwise we graduate millions of college students every year, who will hire them? Who pays them? Who gave them the ability to earn money to support their families, get married and have children?

In addition to college students, we also have a larger number of migrant workers. How much money can these people earn by digging in the fields? Don't they want a better life? Don't they have the right to enjoy the benefits of national development?

How many ordinary people's employment problems have been solved by the express delivery industry alone? This is the job of two million people. This job does not require a high degree of education, a strong physique, or a handsome appearance. It only needs a little brain with a primary school education or above.

A courier can earn four to five thousand a month if he works hard, the only thing is hard work. But hard work can earn money, and many people are still willing to do it.

If it wasn't for the high concentration of population due to urbanization, if our cities were scattered and small like foreign countries, if it wasn't for the convenient transportation between cities, would we possibly enjoy the "Jiangsu, Zhejiang and Shanghai free shipping"?

If the job of express delivery can't be done, can you imagine how these two million people will live?

Many people complain about the original sin of real estate, saying that it allows a few people to make a lot of money and most people become house slaves. However, if we do not develop real estate and engage in urbanization, the lives of many people will not get better, but will only get worse.

Just 20 or 30 years ago, rural people tried their best to get an urban hukou, tried their best to live in the city, and tried their best to make a living in the city.

In the 1980s, how many college students wanted to stay in big cities like the imperial capital after graduation? After enjoying the convenience of a big city, who wants to go back to their poor and miserable hometown?

Hometown is a feeling, not a reality.

The memory of the hard days is not far away, I still remember it clearly.

We are all enjoying the great development of real estate and the benefits brought about by large-scale urbanization, but naturally we also have to bear the disadvantages brought about by it. But looking at it now, the advantages far outweigh the disadvantages.

Someone has made a fortune from real estate. Just post it, not everyone can be Wang Sicong's father...

The housing price is high, and the high is high. Anyway, we can't live without big cities.

If you feel depressed because of this, then look at the pastimes, eat a barbecue, drink a bottle of beer, complain to your friends, laugh at yourself, and then do what you should do.

Some people become rich before the age of 20, I'm almost 40 and I'm just starting out, and there are some people who are mediocre all their lives. But we still have to live.

It is useless to be jealous of others, and even more useless to complain and resent. Everyone's path is different. It is only serious to work hard and make money to change yourself.
