Chapter 53 Section VIII

Hao Dongxi went home, and Ajiao's first reaction when he saw his outfit was: "Where did you go to the masquerade party?" It was only then that Hao Dongxi realized that he was still wearing a bear-packed chef's uniform and a bear-packed chef's hat on his head.After unloading the clothes and hats three times, he said: "It's a little cold, so I put on the clothes of the bear bag." How could such a shrewd woman like Ajiao believe Hao Dongxi's rhetoric, she snorted and sneered: "You took good care of yourself today, even covering your head, why didn't you wear a mask?"

Lumen City has a subtropical climate, and the winter temperature is equivalent to the spring and autumn seasons in the north. Lumen people don’t have the habit of wearing hats at all, and many women don’t even have pants. They are used to wearing skirts, and they are not used to wearing pants at all.Not only is the temperature in Lumen City mild and pleasant, but the air is also very clean thanks to the care of the sea and land breeze. Wearing a mask is a rare sight on Lumen Street.Therefore, Ajiao used these words to ridicule Hao Dongxi. Hao Dongxi really didn't want to expose her embarrassment today to A Jiao, and continued to argue: "I saw the hat as fun, I put it on and tried it, but forgot to take it off."

A Jiao threw a stack of papers to Hao Dongxi: "Don't make it up, are those people from Oriental Garden causing trouble?" Hao Dongxi didn't say a word, he didn't want to let A Jiao know about this, for fear that A Jiao would also worry about it. But Ajiao began to analyze: "Are they really besieging you? It shouldn't be, it's not that time yet, and the house price hasn't really dropped publicly. Bird's Egg is negotiating with them, how could it be rushed all of a sudden?" Come to you? How many people are besieging you?" Hao Dongxi was also puzzled: "I don't know how many people there are."

Ajiao turned pale with shock: "So many people? You can't even count them? All the buyers are here to make trouble, so it's not too many for you to count." Hao Dongxi was in a daze: "I didn't see the troublemaker. I heard from Niaodan. Niaodan said that he had received reliable information. The real estate speculators would come to the club to surround me and force me to sign an agreement with them. Lower prices." Ajiao was also a little puzzled: "No way? We developed the house, and the price is our legal right. Why do they ask us not to lower the price? If we don't lower the price, we will starve to death from thirst?"

Hao Dongxi said: "That's what I said, but when they bought the house, the price was 12,000 yuan. If we drop it below 10,000 yuan for promotion, they will lose money. It is understandable for them to have opinions." Ajiao's thoughts were still on making trouble: "We haven't officially lowered the price, why did they start making trouble? How many people are there?" Hao Dongxi scratched her head: "There seems to be no one." Ajiao was also dizzy: "You said just now that you couldn't count, and now you say there are no people, what's going on?"

Hao Dongxi explained: "I didn't say it was innumerable just now, I just said that I don't know how many people there are. You said it yourself. I was afraid that I would be surrounded by those people, and I would be entangled if I was surrounded. I walked through the back door, but I couldn’t go through the back door. Just happened to meet the bear bag, and the bird egg took off the bear bag’s clothes and put it on for me, and asked me to go through the front door like this. I came out from the front door and saw no troublemakers what." Ajiao was stunned for a moment, then laughed loudly: "No, no, I laughed out my urine, I have to go to the bathroom quickly." He laughed and ran into the bathroom while talking.Hao Dongxi was not in the mood to laugh, and he didn't understand what was worthy of A Jiao's ghostly laugh. His mind was still circling on that unlucky project of Oriental Garden.

The Dongfang Garden community developed by Hao Dongxi has sold very well since its opening.However, with the step-by-step implementation of the national austerity policy, the boiling real estate industry has gradually turned from green to yellow like leaves in late autumn.Oriental Garden, which has been selling well, suddenly became a slow-selling product, and often a house could not be sold for a week.The development of a community requires billions of dollars of funds, which of course cannot be independently supported by a developer like Hao Dongxi. Their sources of funds mainly come from two sources: one is cooperative financing between the same industry, and their own funds generally account for 100% of the development funds. Thirty percent is considered a real development, and most of the remaining funds are obtained from bank loans after obtaining the land.The house is sold, and the bank loan and interest are repaid from the proceeds, and the rest is huge profits.Therefore, the vast majority of real estate developers start selling houses as soon as they open, which is called off-plan housing.

The Oriental Garden has been capped. From the opening to the cap, the price has been rising all the way, from the initial average price of 7,000 yuan to 15,000 yuan, which has reached the upper limit of Lumen's house price.The renminbi flowed into the bank account of the Great Southeast Group continuously like the rolling Yangtze River, which made Hao Dongxi happy all day long. The season has already arrived in late autumn, but spring is still bright in his eyes.Before he knew it, the cold current came quietly like a treacherous enemy army, and Hao Dongxi was still in the illusion that Lumen's property market was only rising but not falling.The house suddenly became unsalable, which directly led to the disconnection of funds.It doesn't matter to Hao Dongxi that the funds cannot be returned to the basket. The house cannot be sold for the time being, and it is always there, and it will turn into money sooner or later.But the bank can't wait. The loan and interest must be repaid. If the loan is delayed, not only will the bank seal the house for auction through the court, but Hao Dongxi's reputation will also be severely damaged. Almost impossible.

The only way is to pay close attention to the return of funds and ensure that bank loans and interest are repaid on schedule.Hao Dongxi forced the sales office to run down the road and yelled to sell the house, beating gongs and drums, using all kinds of tricks.However, it is an undeniable truth that the world is better than people. The entire housing market has entered a period of freezing, and no matter how hard the Great Southeast Group struggles, it will be difficult to reverse the decline.The house is unsalable, but the bank loan has to be repaid. The last and most helpless way to promote sales has finally become the choice Hao Dongxi has to face: price reduction.

In all fairness, it is largely due to those speculators who invest in real estate that the housing prices have reached such heights. Without their promotion, it is impossible for ordinary people who actually buy houses to live in to raise housing prices to that level.During this period, the manipulation and indulgence of the local government is also a driving force that cannot be ignored. The higher the housing price, the more government taxes, and the more attractive the figures such as GDP and fiscal revenue must be handed over to the superiors.Hao Dongxi and the others are relatively cautious. They are unwilling to dissatisfy the government and avoid provoking the protests of those speculators. They adopt a tentative method of lowering prices in disguise: using specific time and specific groups of people as a cover, for example, during the National Day During the Golden Week, diamond-level members of the Chinese-style restaurant club will get a 20% discount on house purchases, hoping to increase some sales and increase some funds to be withdrawn, so as to solve the serious problem of capital lock-up and failure to repay loans on time.

However, in the face of the stock market’s plunge that is suspected to be like a Milky Way, and the real estate market’s sudden drop in temperature and price, people are worried about the economic prospects. The uncertain economic situation makes everyone frightened. Escape doom and keep your pocketbook before the gunshots ebb.The Great Southeast Group is only a small tentative step, but the reaction it triggered has been unexpected.Other real estate developers took advantage of the trend to lower prices, and the Great Southeast Group became an excuse for them to lower prices: Why can't we lower them if they can?The real estate speculators who bought the house in Oriental Garden from the Great Southeast Group, and tried to wait for the house price to rise further, are even more sensitive to the point of hypersensitivity. After hearing the news, they immediately formed a negotiating team and went straight to the headquarters of the Great Southeast Group, demanding Sign an agreement with Hao Dongxi to guarantee that the price will not be lowered. If the price of Oriental Garden's real estate market drops later, they will make up for their economic losses, or refund their house payment with the original price plus interest. After Hao Dongxi heard the report on the situation of Niaodan’s reception of the negotiation team of the real estate speculators, his first reaction at that time was: "Fuck you, the stock market has fallen. If you give the stockholders compensation at the original price, I will give you the real estate speculators the original price." Compensation to check out. How can there be such a reason in the world, how can there be a business that only makes money but does not lose money?" However, this is just talk. In the face of huge interests and risks, it is impossible for real estate speculators to respect market rules and abide by legal norms. The most efficient way for developers.Some real estate developers in Lumen who have blatantly cut prices have already encountered this kind of problem. The real estate speculators formed a powerful protest group, besieging the developers, holding slogans to the city government to protest, and even standing on the top of the building collectively to protest with the collective. Jumping off a building scares people. In desperation, Hao Dongxi and the others had no choice but to constantly think of some tricks to sell houses at lower prices in disguise, and on the other hand, invested the money earned from the export business into real estate projects to repay the loans so that the follow-up real estate projects could not stop working. Damn it, thanks to such a company that imports and exports building materials, otherwise it would be really difficult to maintain.Recently, Hao Dongxi often used this sentence to comfort herself and increase her confidence. Ajiao came out of the bathroom, laughed enough, finished peeing, and his expression and thoughts returned to normal: "Dongxi, don't you be afraid..." Hao Dongxi interrupted her: "Who is afraid? What am I afraid of? Fuck him, I am on the ground of Lumen, who am I afraid of?" A Jiao knew that the word "fear" touched his worthless man. With self-esteem, he quickly changed his words: "I don't mean you are afraid, I mean you don't worry." Hao Dongxi was still annoyed: "If I can't do it, I just lowered the price. I can't lose money anyway. Those real estate speculators deserve their losses, and they still make trouble for me. It's not that they are driving up the price, so how can the house price be so high?" Ajiao curled her lips: "Okay, don't be cheap and good-looking. When people raised the house price, weren't you so happy that the old woman married a new son-in-law? When the tide rises, there must be a tide. You have been doing it for a lifetime." The ship forgot even that." Having said that, Hao Dongxi was choked. At that time, Ajiao reminded him that "the tide is too high to prevent the tide from falling". He didn't care at all. All the information he got told him that the house price in Lumen would definitely rise above the average price. Twenty thousand yuan. Ajiao picked up the chef hat that Hao Dongxi threw on the sofa, went to the terrace and stuffed it into the washing machine, and then started the automatic washing process. She wanted to wash the greasy work clothes and hats in the bear bag before returning them to others .While doing these things, she suddenly remembered and asked Hao Dongxi: "By the way, let me ask you, what did Bird's Egg tell you? How could those people chase you to the clubhouse? You saw those people with your own eyes. ?” Hao Dongxi also calmed down now, lit a cigarette and frowned thinking: "Didn't I just say that? I didn't see those house flippers either. I just had dinner with my client, and I was going to accompany him to the water bath Bubble, the bird egg hurriedly ran away and said that the house speculators chased me here to besiege me and force me to sign the agreement. I was afraid that being blocked in the clubhouse would affect the business if the customers saw it, so I let the bird egg get dragged behind in a daze, the bird egg Let me run through the back door, but I couldn’t get out through the back door, and just happened to run into a bear bag, and the bird egg disguised me and came back through the front door.” Ajiao laughed again, Hao Dongxi knew that she remembered her embarrassment just now, and she became angry with embarrassment: "Is it that funny? Fuck his old bird, let me find out. If he is playing tricks on me, I will immediately Tell him to fuck off." Ajiao helped him analyze: "Niaodan would never dare to tease you like this, but I guess those house speculators would not chase you to the clubhouse to besiege you, it must be that Niaodan didn't figure it out, and you didn't ask him where the news came from. of?" Hao Dongxi: "Did you treat me like a melon? Of course I want to ask. He said he saw it with his own eyes." A Jiao was also confused: "He saw it with his own eyes? Then why didn't you see it when you came out?" It was Hao Dongxi's turn to be guilty: "Yeah, why didn't I see anyone making trouble when I came out?" Ajiao is a woman who can take it easy and put it down, so she won't spend time and effort digging into the corners of the problem that she can't figure out for a while: "Okay, I'll ask tomorrow to see what's going on. Now the last The most important thing is Oriental Garden, the funds are crushed to death, and if you don’t hurry back to the cage, the rabbit will be hard to get off the wall. We will invite Director Zhang and Director Li to come out for a few days to see if they have any good solutions.” When there is a problem, setting up a meal, everything is solved on the meal, which has become a convenient channel for Ajiao to solve problems and deal with problems. This is also the most basic function of a Chinese-style meal. Hao Dongxi didn't have much hope for this: "They are all officials. They don't need to buy our house, and they don't know how to help us sell it. Troubling them at this time can't solve any problems." Ajiao said: "If you can't solve the problem, you can listen to their views on the situation. They are members of the government and understand the current situation better than us. There is no harm in listening to their opinions." Hao Dongxi was already sleepy, and had long since lost the will to talk to A Jiao, so he took off his clothes, went into the bedroom and fell asleep.A Jiao kept yelling outside asking him to take a bath.However, Hao Dongxi had already let out a loud snore.
