Chapter 9 (9)

The mother of the Li family was sitting in the aisle in front of the building, picking up the vegetables and leaves from the vegetable market, her expression was serene, and she didn't seem to be trapped by life at all.Lao Li came back from the nightclub where he worked part-time. The old lady mentioned as if chatting: "Two days ago, when you were away, Director Wang from the street came to check the situation and register for demolition." Old Li stopped and asked, "When?" "Is it three or four days?" "Oh! Mom! You are so old-fashioned! You won't talk about such an important matter for three or four days! What about the household registration? Huh? Xu Li, where did you put the household registration?" Lao Li said to his wife who had just entered the door.

"Why do you need a household registration? Last time I was afraid that I would lose it, so I hid it in a special place. Oh? What place? It's broken, it's a bigger place, and I forgot." The couple were in a room Rifle things out. "What are you looking for for a household registration?" The old lady sat motionless at the door and asked. "Didn't you tell me to fill out the form? It's too late and they won't accept it later." Lao Li was very anxious. "It's not like you're a little ghost rushing to reincarnate, what are you doing in such a hurry? Are you still afraid that people will forget you?"

"Everyone will get the money by then, and we will be left alone." "Isn't it good to keep it? People take money to be happy, and you take money to cry. Are you in a hurry to cry?" Lao Li and Xu Li were stunned. "People took the money and went to buy new houses. What do you do with the money? Who would build a 20-square-meter house now? Even if they give you a 40-square-meter suburban house, let you subsidize another 100,000 80,000, where do you get the money to pay? My grandson is about to go to college. Have you thought about where the tuition fee will come from? In a few years, my grandson will also start a family. Is there any girl who is willing to marry into a set of 40 yuan? Living in a house with four generations per square meter? If a girl asks to buy a house, how will you subsidize your son? I am getting older, Xu Li has been sick all her life, and neither of them has labor insurance. Are you looking at us? Sick and dead?"

"Then... Mom, what do you mean?" Xu Li asked tentatively. "Don't move. Don't register. Just stay like this." "But Mom, if we don't move, will they give up this land because of us?" "They will not give up, they will come to talk to us, they will bargain with us. In this way, we have the initiative." "But what if people don't talk about it at all? Just throw us on the street?" "If Shanghai is not afraid of embarrassment, then we can sleep on the street. The World Expo will open soon? The streets are full of foreigners, so we will put our home in front of the city hall."

"Mom, does this work? With a 10-square-meter house, three generations of grandparents and grandchildren can eat it. Who would do such a loss-making business? Judging by your tone of voice, it seems that you want to use this The house squeezed out millions. If everyone thinks like you, it will cost 100,000 yuan per square meter, and no one will come to take this land.” "Not everyone thinks this way. People can exchange a medium-sized house for a big house, and if they have money, they can get to the sky in one step. Only us. You don't rush to send your hukou, it will appear that you are in a hurry, People won't beg you. If you stand still, people will come to your door to beg."

"Forcible evictions are everywhere now, and people are killed in some places. If ordinary people like us fight with them, will eggs hit rocks?" "Try it! You can negotiate terms with people, what else is there besides this broken house? Money, skills, knowledge, status, we have nothing. This is our only capital. We are not eggs , We are stones, stones in the latrine. They will not be willing to give up the banknotes they have because of our family. Even if they are finally gnawed off a piece of meat, as long as they don’t hurt their bones, they are still willing. They have weaknesses, and they are Eggs. We'll just sit here and wait for them to hit us."

Lao Li looked at Xu Li suspiciously: "This... can this work?" Xu Li thought about it and said: "Mom has been on the battlefield for a long time, so I will do as Mom tells me." Su Chun was drawing sketches on the table, and Haiping entered the door with a dejected face. "Why, none of the houses you looked at were satisfactory?" "Yeah! Haizao and I ran for two days and watched 7 episodes, but it still didn't work." "Isn't it a new house? Are you still not satisfied?" "If it is an existing house, there are only two possible situations. One is to hang it up and sell it. They are all high-quality goods in the community. You can't put it down at first glance, but the price is also staggering. If the average price is 8,000, that kind of house It must be tens of thousands of square meters. And the apartment size is large. The current developers are absolutely treacherous. If you hear where the market is open, go and have a look, it must be selling leftovers. Take out those that cannot be sold at first glance and start the market. The price is very tempting. This is tasteless, the kind that can’t be eaten. The price is higher the later it is opened, so you can see that the current house price is rising, but it is actually artificially speculated.”

"There must be a market for it to be fried again. If the price is so high that people can't afford it, is it still idle? How much money will be occupied!" "So it's evil! The price is so high, and it's still as if someone robbed the house for no money. For any broken house, you have to line up to get the number and look at the blueprint. If you hesitate a little, the people behind will pick the one you fancy. Leave, hesitate again, half of the building is gone. In this situation, people can't think normally, either follow the trend and throw money down quickly, or you will retreat bravely. I always think that it's time to fall, it's time Did it fall? But looking at this situation, it doesn’t look like it’s falling at all. Moreover, I always feel that this is the tension created by the seller. It used to be open, but now it’s doing internal sales before the opening, just like buying refrigerators and color TVs through the back door in the past .You fancy a real estate, but if you have money, you can’t get in. You have to ask someone to intercede and advance internal sales. Really. The house I saw today is the internal sales building that Haizao asked someone to look at.”

"Then you walked through the back door, has the situation improved?" "No. Just one word: poor. I don't know I'm poor when I don't go to the sales site. Everyone drives to see the house, but Haizao and I take the bus. Even the sales lady wears POLO, and I wear Baleno. There, banknotes are like waste paper, and the forms filled out by others are all followed by a string of zeros! Scared!" "Cut! The streets are full of POLOs, and all the old ladies in the supermarkets are wearing DIORs. Who doesn't carry LVs on the bus now? How many of them are real? Does this irritate you? If you want to wear them, you can buy one for 30 yuan on the market."

"But the car they drive isn't made of paper, is it? Anyway, looking back and forth, we are the only ones who are poor in the world. Sad, two college students from prestigious universities have no tiles and are penniless. The mainstay, the middle class!" "How can we count as the middle class? People in the middle class have to pay at least 30% of the tax?" "Hey, in the United States, aren't the people who can afford a house all middle class and above?" "That's the United States, and the national conditions are different. The Chinese, you have to talk about owning everything. Knowing that you can only have it for 70 years, you have to own it. The rich people in the United States donate their property to the society when they die. You When have you ever seen Chinese people doing this kind of thing? Money has to be passed down from generation to generation and become an antique. There is a lyric that says it best: don’t care about forever, only care about what you once had. This is a portrayal of Chinese society.”

"That's right! Everyone gives their money to their offspring, isn't society empty? Sometimes you have to open up a bit, so that the next generation can have a good and stable meal, at least you have to spit it out to maintain balance. You see, the most diabolical is that Bill Gates, all the good names are called him. A philanthropist, quit the business world, develop a foundation, only leave 30 million US dollars for each of his three sons, and donate the rest Drop. How good it sounds! Tens of billions! How generous! In fact, if you think about it carefully, which child in the world is born with 30 million dollars in his mouth? This is not to deprive his child of labor to create happiness Right? The 30 million yuan not only guarantees his child a lifetime of good food and clothing, but also ensures that his child will not be attacked by a group of hungry wolves holding braised pork. This is a smart move. Those who can’t figure out this reason are probably us Chinese. Why do we buy a house, don’t we also want to leave it to our children? We can’t keep banknotes, and we don’t have antiques and treasures, so we can only keep a house to preserve its value?” "Hey! What kind of life is this? It is said that the times have progressed and people's living standards have improved. Why do I feel that I am not as good as our parents' generation? At least they have achieved no internal debts and no debts in the poorest time. No foreign debts. I’m fine. I’ve been in debt all my life, and a house made me a millionaire. After thinking about it, the most wise decision made by our party is family planning. My parents used to raise ten or eight, but now I It is difficult to raise one. If you ask me to pay for a small one, I will definitely die on the spot. In the past three years, natural disasters told me to tighten my belt. When I pay the down payment, you will tell me to tighten my neck. I can't even come up with a piece." "You can't talk like that. This is called being in line with the world. You just envy people who are good at this and that. They are good at everything. Why is the population growing negatively? Why does Canada immigrate from China? Isn't that also because of the heavy burden? This is a world issue, don't Talk about China. Besides, which developed country does not have negative assets? The richer you are, the more you have to bear. If you have the ability to bear, you have credit. If you live up to it, you don’t even have a foothold in society Don't make a mistake, the bank let you bear it because it thinks highly of you and believes in your ability. If you want to bear it, you have to have some skills."
