Chapter 109: What's meant by curbing housing prices from growing too quickly?

  In the pitch-black room, only moonlight spilled onto Li Xiaoteng's small bed. Looking out at the quiet and empty night sky, the buildings across from him were still dimly lit. At 3 or 4 in the morning, not a single light was turned on. But Li Xiaoteng's heart was filled with sunshine.

  Li Xiaoteng got up, put on a coat and sat back in front of the computer. He muttered to himself: "It's dizzying, I actually forgot to transfer the money!" As he spoke, he casually opened the computer, logged onto William Hill's website, and transferred all the money to his own bank card. At the first opportunity, he used online banking to repay the credit card debt.

  He quietly looked at the 140 million in his account, lying there. He silently stared for a very long time! Until the sky was somewhat bright, he finally came back to his senses.

  Li Xiaoteng opened the writing board, adjusted a No. 2 font on it, and quickly typed out a line of words: There is a fierce tiger in my heart, sniffing roses carefully!

  After finishing, I took a screenshot and set it as my computer desktop. Then, I dazedly crawled back to my bed and fell into a deep sleep!

  The morning sunlight shines on the earth. People, like diligent little bees, start another day of hard work. As recorded in the Historical Records' Biographies of the World: "All under heaven are for profit." "All under heaven are for gain."

  Lao Er sat at the breakfast stall, yawning and rubbing his eyes. He glared at his older brother and said, "Bro! It's just past eight o'clock. You dragged me out of bed already! I only slept for four hours! People say that men who don't get enough sleep will damage their kidneys! And I still don't have a girlfriend! What if I don't have any descendants in the future?!"

  The boss casually patted his younger brother's back of the head with a light slap.

  The unhappy one said: "What are you talking nonsense about?" After a moment of silence, he said: "Sun Dabao that kid actually didn't help you much, now he's at home with no job. Can you find him a good job! Why aren't you more diligent?"

  "Old Second said with dissatisfaction: 'What do you mean by no job, didn't they say they found a job?' Old Big shouted unhappily: 'You don't understand anything! What good jobs can be found at a recruitment fair? Li Xiaoteng's place is the best!'"

  He turned to Lao Er and asked, "What's so good about it? The salary he offers isn't even high! How come I didn't see anything good?" He sighed and said to Lao Da, "Didn't you see Li Xiaoteng's skill in making cold dishes yesterday? It's obvious that he has received guidance from a famous teacher and transmission from a master! And his roasted sauce! If we brothers can learn it, we will definitely have no worries about food and clothing in the future!"

  He looked at his older brother with a skeptical expression. Curiously, he asked: "Will we be able to buy a house in the capital city in the future?" The older brother immediately became like an eggplant that had been struck by frost, hanging his head and saying: "It's better not to think about buying a house. When we make some money in the future, we'll still go back to our hometown and build our own house! The housing prices in the capital city... Ah!"

  Xiang didn't say a word to Lao Er, but instead looked at his own brother. Suddenly, he heard someone calling out from behind him: "Xiang Da Ge! You're here pretty early!"

  He hastily turned around, only to see a slightly overweight man who was about his height. He was wearing a white-flowered shirt that had been washed until it was somewhat faded and deep blue jeans, smiling at him in a friendly manner.

  "Brother Sun! Long time no see!" Old Zhang hurriedly shouted loudly. Old Zhang hastily rushed to Sun, calling out: "Come on, old Sun! Hurry up and come sit down! We've been waiting for you to eat. I'm so hungry my eyes are getting dizzy!"

  Sun Dabao hastily sat down beside Lao Er and said to Lao Da, "What a great place! What makes you bring me here?"

  He whispered to Lao Da, "Didn't I tell you it's a night market? But the boss is an expert! His spicy hot pot and roasted fish became super popular in Xingda District within just half a month!"

  Sun Daren asked doubtfully: "You're not talking about that stall in front of Dongxing Restaurant, are you?" Xiang Lao'er curiously asked: "Brother Sun, have you eaten there too?"

  Sun Daren shook his head and said, "I've never been there before, but I've heard it mentioned by friends in the culinary circle recently! It's all over the place! I heard it was opened by a university student in their twenties!"

  He nodded to Lao Da and said, "It's run by a college student. But this kid really has skills. Yesterday, he invited us over to try his grilled skewers. I thought it was just us brothers doing the grilling. But who would have thought that he had made his own barbecue sauce? The meat skewers he marinated and grilled were so good that even I, a veteran chef, couldn't help but admire him. It's simply amazing!"

  Sun Dànéng curiously asked: "Really? A barbecue sauce can make you worship like this? How did you do it, tell me about it!"

  Xiang Lao Er hastily said: "My big brother had nothing to do yesterday, so he used his hand to dip in some sauce and eat. He tasted it for a whole night, but still couldn't figure out what was in it! It wasn't until later when he drank a bellyful of water that the saltiness became overwhelming..." After finishing speaking, Xiang Lao Er immediately let out a soft laugh!

  Sun Daren glanced at Xiang Dage. He saw that Xiang Dage was lowering his head in embarrassment. Sun Daren said casually, "Can't figure it out for now. We'll find another chance to get some later. Let's try slowly!" Xiang Lao Da hastily nodded and turned around to order several baskets of baozi from the boss. He also ordered three bowls of wontons.

  Taking advantage of the interval between dishes

  He said to Lao Da, "Sun brother, why don't you go take a look at Li Xiaoteng's place? That kid really makes good stuff. Maybe you can learn something from him. We rough cooks from the countryside really can't compare with others!"

  Sun Daren said with some discontent: "A newly graduated kid! How capable can he be?" Xiang Lao Da hastily said: "You'd better not underestimate him! You'll know when the time comes!"

  Just as they were talking, the breakfast was already on the table. The three of them ate quickly and finished their breakfast in a flash. Then, with a rustling sound, they arrived at the entrance of Dongxing Restaurant.

  Only saw Jiang Di crouching at the door, with a cigarette in his mouth. One hand held an account book, and the other grasped a pen, carefully checking the mutton!

  "Manager Jiang! The goods have arrived?"

  Jiang Di looked at the three of them, nodded and said: "All received! You guys can handle it later! I'm going back now!" He bid farewell to Lao Da. Looking around, he didn't see Li Xiaoteng anywhere. He asked strangely: "Manager Jiang, hasn't our Boss Li arrived yet?"

  Jiang Di scribbled in his ledger while nodding and said, "I reckon he hasn't gotten up yet! Something's going on?"

  He hastily pointed at Sun Dabao and said: "This is the cold dish master I found. Didn't Boss Xiao Teng say he wanted to try dishes today?"

  Jiang Di narrowed his eyes, glanced at the watch and asked in surprise: "You've come so early. I'll contact Xiao Teng for you right away!" After speaking, he took out his mobile phone from his pocket and dialed Li Xiaoteng's number...

  In the bathroom, Li Xiaoteng was half asleep and half awake, mechanically brushing his teeth with a toothbrush. He went back and forth, scrubbing a few front teeth. Suddenly he felt like he had eaten toothpaste. He suddenly woke up and hurriedly grabbed a cup to rinse his mouth several times. Only then did he feel slightly better.

  Only listening outside, the old mother was saying to Li's father: "Old Li, let you find a house! Which building have you seen recently?" Li's father drank porridge while unhappily saying: "I heard reports that now housing prices are too high! Later, housing prices will fall back. Haven't you found out that the cheapest houses now cost 6,000? These housing prices are too expensive! They will definitely drop in the future!"

  Dad Li said, after finishing his words, he took another sip of porridge. He smacked his lips and continued to say: "You think back then we bought a house for just a few tens of thousands of yuan. Let's talk about the year 2003, when the houses in Qingcheng Community were only 3100 per square meter. Now the second-hand houses are actually 6000! The housing price has risen by more than double! Recently, hasn't the country started to introduce policies? The housing prices will come down sooner or later! Why spend twice as much money buying a house! With this money, it's better to save it for Little Teng to get married and have a wife! I think we should wait a bit longer before buying!"

  Li Xiaoteng hastily wiped his face, pushed open the door and came out of the bathroom. He saw that his mom was no longer speaking, but instead lowering her head to drink millet porridge. Li Xiaoteng didn't know what it was about his dad's words that had moved his mom.

  Li Xiaoteng sat in his own seat, casually grabbed a bean bag and took two bites. Only then did he say: "Dad! Mom! If you want to buy a house, hurry up and buy it early! Don't delay this matter!"

  Mr. Li gave his son a displeased look, suddenly stood up and rummaged through his cabinet to pull out a newspaper. He then walked into the dining room, heavily slapping the newspaper onto the table. Pointing at it, he said: "Read me the headline on the front page!"

  Li Xiaoteng glanced at the newspaper and put down his dou bao. He took a quick look at the headline on the front page of People's Daily, scanned it briefly, and then said: "Dad, it says here..."

  Controlling house prices is to curb the overly rapid growth of the real estate market. Think about it! Land is originally a scarce resource. The country still relies on selling land to make money, do you know how much money the country takes from real estate developers when houses are sold? Fifty to sixty percent! What's left is just the cost of land and construction! House prices can't be lowered at all!"

  Mr. Li asked in puzzlement, "Who told you these things?" Li Xiaoteng thought gloomily to himself: I certainly can't tell him that the housing prices will rise to 20,000 in just a few years!

  Li Xiaoteng thought for a moment and said: "My university mentor taught us finance. He specialized in analyzing the financial policies of countries and the role of real estate markets in national development! Houses are the pillar of the Chinese economy. This situation will not change in the next 30 years! Because housing is a rigid demand. People from all over the country are rushing to Beijing. It must cause the Beijing real estate market to be hot!"

  Li's mother listened to Li Xiaoteng's words and reignited her desire to buy a house. She hurriedly said, "Old Li, take advantage of the fact that we have money now and can afford it! Let's just buy one!" Li's father unhappily said, "I'm telling you, BaoBao, what's the rush? I think housing prices will definitely come down!"

  Li Xiaoteng grumbled unhappily, "Dad! You'd better give up on that idea. Haven't you seen the essence of the newspaper reports? The country's policy has never said it would let housing prices fall. It didn't happen in the past, and it won't happen now or in the future... I think there won't be any chance of it happening in the next ten years either. The country always says to curb excessively fast growth..."

  Mr. Li hung his head and didn't say a word, sipping millet porridge on the side, thinking about it for a while. He felt that what his son said was quite reasonable, more thorough than his own analysis, with clear logic and evidence. It seemed like a layer of window paper. If someone pokes you. The window paper breaks in the wind. If no one tells yourself. Maybe you hit the south wall and still think your way is right!

  "Can't. Old Li, take advantage of today's holiday! Let's go to Rainbow City first and have a look at the house this morning! We must go today!"

  Looking at Li's father, the overbearing momentum of the head of the household just now was gone. He didn't say anything else, he just nodded lightly. Only then did Li's mother nod in satisfaction and said to Li Xiaoteng: "Buying a house is a big deal! You go together!"

  "Mom! I just got up to have breakfast! I'll take a nap later!" Li's mother grasped Li Xiaoteng's ear and said, "You've grown up? You can fly now and don't listen to me? You must go for me..."

  PS: I've been busy all day and can only sit down quietly to write at 11 o'clock. After finishing this chapter, I looked at the clock and it was already 1:40. Thinking of the people in the disaster area, fortunately, spring has arrived and flowers are blooming. The strong grandfather has also arrived in the disaster area to command! But my heart is still a little uneasy. May tonight be able to rescue more people affected by the disaster!

  A book friend sent two monthly tickets this morning, and Yangcun mixed brother and TT Fox book friends also sent one each. Suddenly, our book soared again! Although it's getting harder and harder. But I still want to say thank you to everyone! My brothers, the things I write can get everyone's recognition. I'm a bit nervous, I think my writing is not good enough! But everyone is still so supportive of me! I will definitely work harder to write this book well in the future! Let everyone have a great time reading it and feel thrilled!

  At the same time, I would also like to thank bookworm brother lsl for his reward. Although it's just one dollar! But compared to book friends who search all over the world for pirated copies, you are undoubtedly my true motivation. For you, I will work even harder! Brother, I bow down to you three times in gratitude!
