The Liangcheng Fertilizer Factory, located east of the Liangshui River, was built in the 70s and was surrounded by sparsely populated farmland. With the development and expansion of the city, the factory area is now surrounded by high-rise buildings and densely populated. The current location not only restricts the further development of the fertilizer plant, but also affects the surrounding environment and the health of the residents.

Therefore, the Liangcheng city government has decided to relocate the entire fertilizer plant to a chemical park in Haibin County, and plan to build a new comprehensive sports stadium and supporting service facilities on the vacant land.

Liangcheng Fertilizer Plant is responsible for docking with the design institute is the deputy general manager Shi Jingen, the design institute technical staff to the factory for the first time, in order to show the attention, the general manager Cheng Lin also personally came forward to greet.

The specific docking of the methanol plant in charge of Geng Zhiyuan is Du Hongyi, deputy chief engineer of the fertilizer plant, who was born in the fifties and is the same age as Geng Zhiyuan's uncle.

In order to complete the design task faster and better, Yue Weiben discussed with Shi Jingen and offered a common trick of the design institute: on-site design.

The fertilizer plant vacated the plant's guest house for the designers, and the factory auditorium was renovated to serve as the designers' workplace. After the Provincial Chemical Design Institute preliminarily prepared for Labor Day, it pulled all the more than 80 designers of the project team to Liangcheng for on-site design.

After inspecting the current situation of the factory, the two sides rushed to the relocation site in Binhai County to inspect. The new site of the fertilizer plant's planned relocation is located on a deserted salt-alkali beach in the northern part of Haibin County, and the nearest village is Dianzi Village, where Lu Yi's family lives, which is also at least five or six kilometers away.

The flat saline flats are devoid of vegetation and stretch as far as the eye can see. Yue Weiben sighed: "It's really a good place to build a factory, and you have to work the general plan." ”

Shi Jingen pointed to the surroundings and introduced: "This area will all be built into chemical enterprises, there is a million-ton wharf in the north that can transport oil, gas and other energy, and several villages close to the south can be relocated if they need it in the future." ”

"Xiao Geng, I heard that you served here a few years ago?" Yue Weiben suddenly asked Geng Zhiyuan.

Geng Zhiyuan nodded hurriedly and said, "Yes, I stayed in the county fertilizer factory for a few months in '97. ”

"The county fertilizer plant can't continue to operate, except for synthetic ammonia and nitric acid, other devices have stopped, and it is estimated that it will not last for a few years. Shi Jingen said on the side.

"I remember that the county fertilizer plant is on the edge of the county seat, won't it be relocated?" Geng Zhiyuan took the opportunity to ask.

Shi Jingen smiled and said: "It's going to be rich to relocate, it's about to go bankrupt, what are you going to move?"

A good enterprise that was thriving a few years ago, how could it just say that it would not work if it didn't work? Geng Zhiyuan was puzzled, leaving a big question mark in his heart.

After inspecting the site and having a simple lunch, everyone in the design institute set off to the provincial capital. There was nothing to do on the road, everyone discussed the house that everyone cared about, Yue Weiben kindly persuaded: "The welfare house will be canceled sooner or later, don't wait for the house to be divided in the courtyard, the real estate market will soon be booming, if you have enough money, you can buy a house and buy a house quickly." ”

Liang Guangyuan said: "The houses sold outside, I asked near our courtyard, they are already two thousand five or six square meters, who can afford to buy such an expensive house?"

"Two thousand five or six?" Geng Zhiyuan said in surprise: "Impossible, right?"

"How is it impossible?" Yang Meng, a professional in general drawing, said: "I went to LVGEM Home a while ago to take a look, obediently! The average price of one square meter is 2,480 yuan, and a house of 100 square meters costs 250,000 yuan, who can afford it?"

The second floor that Geng Zhiyuan bought in the third phase of Lakeside Beauty in August last year was only 1,680 yuan, and it had risen by nearly 1,000 yuan in just half a year, so he couldn't think it was possible.

"Commercial housing is so expensive, who will buy it?" Ye Shoufeng said leisurely: "I have a house in the courtyard anyway, so I don't want to spend that unjust money." ”

"Xiao Geng, I heard that you bought a house with a beautiful lakeside?" He Fengwen suddenly asked.

Geng Zhiyuan bought a house quietly at a young age, and everyone was surprised and looked at him one after another. Geng Zhiyuan nodded helplessly and said, "Yes, I bought a house in the beautiful lakeside scenery in order to get married." ”

"How big?" Yang Meng didn't expect Geng Zhiyuan's consciousness to be so advanced, the lakeside beauty community is one of the few high-end communities in the city, where do ordinary people dare to buy houses there.

Although Geng Zhiyuan has already bought two houses, in line with the principle of being a low-key person, he prevaricated: "I just bought it last year, 135 square meters, and it cost more than 200,000 yuan. ”

More than 200,000 yuan! The veteran comrades have become accustomed to living in welfare housing without spending money, so when they heard that he had spent more than 200,000 yuan to buy a house, they were heartbroken one by one, secretly scolding him for having nowhere to spend his money and wasting money indiscriminately.

"How much did you buy when you bought it?" Yang Meng said with interest.

Geng Zhiyuan straightened his body and replied: "It's not expensive, it seems to be 1680 square meters, the second floor." ”

"Then you earned it. Yang Meng said with a smile: "The fourth phase of the lakeside beauty has reached two thousand and sixty-one square meters, and you have made a lot of money." ”

"Impossible, right?, so fast?" Geng Zhiyuan said in disbelief.

"How is it impossible?" Yang Meng explained, "At the end of last year, it increased its price once, to more than 2,000 yuan. Last month, it rose to the current price again, and it is said that it will rise. ”

"It's going up so fast?!" Geng Zhiyuan was amazed and secretly happy in his heart, his two houses were worth nearly 700,000 yuan at an average price of 2,000 yuan, and he had earned more than 300,000 yuan from the house price.

"Dean Yue, you are well-informed, can you tell us why housing prices are rising so fast?" finally chatted with Yue Weiben for the last time, and Geng Zhiyuan hurriedly asked him for advice.

Yue Weiben smiled faintly: "Then I'll talk about my own opinions, you can judge for yourself whether it's right or wrong, don't look for me if you regret it." I think house prices will rise in the next step, and it will rise to a price that we dare not imagine now, as for how much it will be, I dare not say, everyone can just wait and see. ”

He took a sip and continued: "One of the reasons for the price increase is that the housing distribution system has been reformed from welfare housing to monetized housing. With the acceleration of the urbanization process in the next step and the rapid growth of the urban population, the demand for housing will naturally grow rapidly, and housing prices will also rise. ”

He sighed: "We are fortunate that we are in an era of rapid national economic development, and maybe ten or twenty years from now, looking back, we will regret our decision not to buy a house or to buy a house less." ”

"Dean Yue, have you bought a house?" Ye Shoufeng said curiously.

Yue Weiben smiled slightly: "Of course I bought it, I am neighbors with Xiao Geng, and I also bought a house in the lakeside beauty community." ”

Yue Weiben deliberately said that one set was very heavy, and at the same time glanced at Geng Zhiyuan intentionally or unintentionally. Geng Zhiyuan's heart trembled, and he said secretly: "Lao Yue won't know that I bought two houses a long time ago, right? ”

When he returned home for dinner, Geng Zhiyuan inadvertently mentioned the rise in housing prices, and Su Qing said excitedly: "Zhiyuan, I just wanted to tell you about it." ”

"Do you know that housing prices have gone up?" Geng Zhiyuan said in surprise.

Su Qing smiled and said: "I go to school in school, and my classmates have no money and don't need to buy a house, they don't care about the house. When I went to the TV station to help, I heard from a guest from Shanghai, who said that the housing prices in Shanghai could rise to 10,000 or even tens of thousands in the future. ”

Geng Zhiyuan was dumbfounded: "Impossible! Isn't he talking nonsense? Who can afford to buy one or two hundred thousand? Who will sell the house to?"

He said that the current housing prices in Shanghai are four or five thousand. Su Qing flashed his eyes and said, "If it's really like what he said, why don't we go to Shanghai and buy a house?" Four or five thousand has risen to one or two thousand, and the difference is quite a lot." ”

If a house of 100 square meters is bought now, it will be possible to earn 500,000 yuan in the future! Even if it is held for 10 years, the annual profit rate will be about 10 percent. This is much higher than saving in the bank, and this money is a little too easy to earn, right?

"Zhiyuan, do you say we buy it or not?" Su Qing said eagerly.

The first house in the lakeside beauty community was bought by Geng Zhiyuan at Lin Chu's strong request. Now it seems that Lin Chu's economic mind is many times higher than he doesn't know. Now that Su Qing has proposed to buy a house in Shanghai, I don't know if her idea is feasible?

During the Chinese New Year, Geng Zhiwei once mentioned that the housing prices in Minhang District, where he is located, are very low, and some communities are only two or three thousand yuan. If you buy a house for appreciation, why not go to Minhang District to buy two or three sets, in addition to renting, you can also lend it to your younger brother to live, saving him from renting a house outside.

Geng Zhiyuan pondered for a long time, and then said: "That's it, let's go to Shanghai on May Day to see the house, and have a trip by the way, you say okay?"

"Great, I haven't been to Shanghai yet!" Su Qing clapped her hands happily.

Geng Zhiyuan looked at his girlfriend's innocent appearance of cheering, remembering that he had never taken her out to play once after the two fell in love, and secretly felt distressed: "I haven't been there either." ”

Su Qing was surprised: "You haven't been there either?"

"What's so strange about this?" Geng Zhiyuan said with a smile: "In addition to the projects in the province, most of the projects outside the province are in remote areas, and we have not done projects in Shanghai." ”

"Isn't that just going to take a look?" Su Qing remembered something and said worriedly: "Let's ...... Is there any money?"

Geng Zhiyuan frowned and said, "I have to do the math......"

From January to the first quarter of March 2001, Chuyan Condiment Company made a profit of more than 300,000 yuan, Yuanyi Catering Company made a profit of about 200,000 yuan, and Geng's Catering Company and Zhenyuan Security Company had just started business, and the profits were almost negligible.

After looking at the house on May Day, I went to buy it in July and August, and at that time I should have enough funds to buy one or two houses with a total price of 500,000 or 600,000 yuan.

"Well, we have money, you don't have to worry about money. Geng Zhiyuan said quite confidently.

Su Qing entangled her boyfriend with admiration, and said with deep feelings: "Zhiyuan, you are so amazing, I love you to death!"

Geng Zhiyuan deliberately mocked: "You love my money to death, right? If I am a poor bastard, see if you still love me?"

Su Qing also understood that he was deliberately teasing himself, so he pretended to be angry and said, "Then I'll just kill you now, won't your money be all mine?"

Geng Zhiyuan fell on the sofa and shouted, "Come on! Su Jinlian has murdered her husband!"

Su Qing saw that his shouting voice was loud, for fear that the neighbors would hear the misunderstanding, so he pinched him a few times and said, "Who is Su Jinlian? I haven't married you yet, even if I kill you, it's not murdering my husband." ”

Geng Zhiyuan dragged her into his arms and said pitifully: "Qingqing, even if I die in your hands, I am willing." ”

"Phew!" Su Qing chirped: "Talking nonsense again! You still have to earn money for me, where am I willing to harm you?"

"Qingqing, you are so beautiful!"

Su Qing was most afraid of Geng Zhiyuan's love words, so he hurriedly covered his ears and said, "Don't say it, it's sour!"
