Chapter 202: My Mom Told Me to Go Back (A Change, Asking for Tickets, ~Mo Da~)
Just after New Year's Day, the Chinese Spring Festival is here again, and Lin Zitan's two supermarkets are getting busier and busier.
Lin Zitan found that in the past two years, there seem to be more and more Chinese people coming to the United States from the mainland, especially on the streets of Flushing.
More and more Chinese faces, speaking unified Mandarin, he occasionally walked through the street, saw Chinese signs standing everywhere,
The Chinese compatriots who came to him occasionally felt like they were returning to their motherland, especially when they heard people passing by speaking the dialect of his hometown, which really made him feel the urge to cry.
It's a pity that the fear of the future still makes him hesitate to decide whether to go back to the mainland, always thinking about waiting, waiting.
Fortunately, I called Grandpa Lin recently and learned that the old man was in good health, but he wanted to call Lin Guodong's house back several times.
But he didn't dare to press the number that swirled in his heart and was silently recited thousands of times.
---------------------
2009 was the first year that their network company developed strongly.
After the winter break, many students who graduated in the summer want to sublet their apartments.
By posting their information on eastrent's app,
Then through the verification of the authenticity of the information on the platform, it can be published on the BLOG in the APP to share with everyone.
Xiao Cheng also took into account that users may not all buy a certain fruit when they developed, so they developed two systems of APP at the same time, so that both iOS and Android.
With over 12,000 different Android devices on the market, it's almost impossible to optimize the app for every Android device.
Therefore, it often takes more time to develop and test Android apps, but fortunately, they start earlier.
It is only designed for the brand machine that young people in the United States are more accustomed to, so as soon as it is put into the market,
It is loved by young people. Especially the students of New York and the young people who have just arrived in the metropolis of New York to pan for gold.
The United States under the influence of the subprime mortgage crisis was still gloomy until mid-2009, and the fear of a collapse in housing prices lingered in people's hearts for a long time.
The repayment pressure of a line of credit has caused more and more people to sell their existing homes in order to make ends meet, and many people have taken the opportunity to refuse to repay the loan outright.
The houses that Lin Zitan bought a year ago were basically in a state of rent, and the rents were lower than those of the owners who held high interest repayment pressure in the market.
But his purpose is not to earn rent, he just needs to make ends meet, and he doesn't have to pay extra to maintain these houses.
Because his focus is on the profit after the house price comes up.
Since he basically invests in shops and two-family houses, and each property has at least two incomes, he still earns money on average.
Take a two-family house as an example, a three-bedroom and one-bathroom family can charge a minimum rent of $2,000, which is still the worst East Bronz district.
Others, like Queens and Brooklyn, can be slightly more expensive by two or three hundred. So he received at least $4,000 in rent for a house.
Excluding land taxes and maintenance fees, plus loan interest, he could earn back at least $2,000 a month. Coupled with the basement sublet and the high rent of the shop,
He can earn about 30,000 yuan a month, and this money is about 300,000 yuan a year. Of course, not every house can be fully rented.
Removing the gap in the middle, it is easy to net 200,000 yuan a year, especially when people are helpless to buy a house!
And these revenues can just supplement the continued operation of his real estate company.
Of course, Lin Zitan's real estate acquisition has not stopped, and he knows that the housing prices around Flushing will continue to rise as more and more Chinese people pour in.
Back then, someone bought a single apartment for tens of thousands of dollars around 07, and it could be sold for more than 200,000 yuan in about 13 years.
is like the apartment that Zhang Jing bought, although it has fallen miserably now, as long as he doesn't sell it, this one can be sold for more than 800,000 yuan in a few years.
So Lin Zitan in 09 years and then bought a few houses near Flushing, this time he still focused on the two families, whether the brick house is too serious,
Because in the future, in order to be closer to the business district of Flushing, no matter what kind of house it is, the rich people of our Celestial Empire in the past,
and those early immigrants who worked hard in the United States for more than ten years saved money and still wanted to live closer to the Chinese circle.
This is also the reason why many Chinese are willing to buy a house in New York even if they have a store and business in other states.
Even some children are put in school in New York by adults, and they can buy a house in the school district on Long Island, even if they don't.
It is also necessary to let children live in places with many Chinese, on the one hand, they are afraid that their children will be discriminated against, and on the other hand, they are also afraid that children are too lonely and have no playmates!
。。。。。。
Lin Zitan this year, except for real estate and Internet companies did not make a lot of money, supermarkets and freight companies have survived the subprime mortgage crisis.
Although Joseph's plans to go public were blocked by the financial crisis, he was undeterred and prepared for a high-profile listing at the end of '09.
In addition to continuing to invest the dividends in real estate, Lin Zitan also became bold in stocks.
At the lowest ebb, I bought more certain fruits, and I also bought ancient songs that will definitely become popular in the future, such as Amazon and other products.
On this day, Zhang Jing, who had been decadent for many days, asked him to eat together, because he was too busy on weekdays, Lin Zitan hadn't seen this poor brother for a while.
I don't know if he picked himself up from his emotional wounds.
"How's it going, are you better?" asked Lin Zitan with concern as soon as they met.
The two of them are about to open a new high-end restaurant in Flushing, and they can see the bustling crowd outside the window, and it is indeed warm inside.
"What's better, isn't it a disease, what's so good~" Zhang Jing said calmly.
"I heard that my tone is much better, what are your plans next? Do you want to come back to help?" Lin Zitan wanted Zhang Jing to manage the two supermarkets.
After all, he is now lacking in skills, and he doesn't want to let the most profitable supermarket have any problems.
"I don't have any plans, but my mother let me go back to China!" Zhang Jing took a sip of Tieguanyin, still with a distracted expression.
"Do you want to go back yourself?" Lin Zitan was actually shocked in his heart, although he thought that Zhang Jing would go back to inherit his family business one day sooner or later,
But I always thought that it was too early, and they could still work together for a few years.
"I didn't want to go back before, but now... It doesn't matter where it is, anyway. Zhang Jing said expressionlessly.
"Brother, not really! Why am I so unaccustomed to it?" Lin Zi frowned.
"I'm fine, don't worry! I haven't been dumped yet! I just suddenly didn't know what I had to do.
It just so happened that my mother asked me to go back, and now the country is affected by the financial crisis, and life is not easy.
My dad's hypermarkets have closed several times, and I mentioned online sales to them before.
My dad and their old guys didn't give a damn about it, and now that they're reacting, it seems a little late!"
Zhang Jing's mouth showed the first smile of the day, but it was a pity that it was mockery~
"Then you go back and see, maybe you can help in any way? I mean, if you don't feel comfortable going back, or if you need help,
You can always tell your brother that you always have a share of the business here, and you are welcome to come back at any time. ”
Lin Zitan was silent for a while, and then said very seriously.
"Cut~ Don't make it look like life and death! I'm just going back to see, maybe I'll be killed one day! But in case I get some big projects in China,
I'll pull you back to join the gang, I heard that your capital is getting stronger and stronger now!" Zhang Jing finally smiled happily.
