Chapter 201: The Age of Freedom
House prices have fallen?
It is estimated that when someone sees these four words, they will definitely scold: Are you afraid that you are not living in a dream?
How can house prices fall?
A hundred years, ten thousand years, it will never fall!
Other commodities have the possibility of falling, but the house price is not possible!
It can only rise to 500,000, 1 million flat, or even higher!
But......
No matter how firm the belief of those who hold the "theory of permanent rise in housing prices" is, housing prices have really fallen.
The drop is quite significant.
Tier-1 cities fell by an average of 30%, second- and third-tier cities fell by 35%, and fourth-tier cities fell by 20%.
And these declines are about half a year after the outbreak of the "robot revolution".
In another year or two, there is a possibility that it will continue to fall.
According to experts' predictions, the future national housing prices will remain in the range of 15,000-20,000 per square meter in first-tier cities, 7,000-10,000 in second- and third-tier cities, and 4,000-5,000 in fourth-tier cities.
These prices are compared with the current and even two years ago, and the completion can be called "onion price".
The era of housing prices is coming.
Many people see this, I guess I can't stand it anymore, the author, you wake up so quickly, don't write these dream things anymore, the house prices you marked are missing a 0 behind!
But in the world of this book, housing prices have indeed fallen, plummeted, and many developers and property speculators have lost their money.
In the media, there is news of property speculators jumping off buildings every day.
In the past two months, there have been three or four hundred people in total.
But there is no one to sympathize with them, and he is guilty of his own sin, and he cannot live.
The culprit that caused this kind of scene to happen is none other than our protagonist - Zhou Ming.
It was he who shattered the dreams of countless property speculators to make a fortune, and it was he who brought countless developers back into poverty overnight.
If Zhou Ming's identity and actions are revealed, he is afraid that he will be scolded and hunted down by hundreds of millions of people!
In other words, what did Zhou Ming do to make the house that was originally a "gold price" plummet into the price of onions?
Shook his head.
Zhou Ming didn't actually do anything, he just accelerated the pace of the arrival of the era of "housing prices are like onions".
Advance what would have happened in 8 or 10 years to 2 years.
The explosion of technology has become a killer of housing prices.
First, after the advent of the intelligent era, most of the jobs are replaced by machines or robots, and people want to be house slaves but cannot.
After all, the unemployed can't afford to buy a house that highly.
Second, the development of virtual technology has made the workplace no longer limited to a specific place.
Virtual office, let office workers wear VR headsets, enter the virtual office, do not have to squeeze the bus every day to take the subway, go to the company to clock in and go to work.
In the future, 50% of office workers will be able to work from home, 40% of citizens will become freelancers (such as e-commerce), and 20% of the population will depend on state welfare to survive.
Most citizens, even if they return to remote and backward rural areas, can survive well as long as they are connected by a network cable.
Big cities will no longer be a place where young people have to settle down.
No matter where people live, they have basically the same development opportunities and a bright future!
The development of science and technology has lifted the oppression and shackles on people's heads, and the houses, facilities and opportunities in big cities can no longer limit the freedom of personal choice!
People can say "no" to a house of 100,000 square meters, "I won't come" to a big city, and "I want to leave" to those hateful landlords.
The era of freedom, happiness and beauty has officially arrived.
With demand plummeting, who are developers going to sell their houses to?
What's more, there are only 1.4 billion people in country Z, but the houses built by developers are enough for 4 billion people to live.
No matter how powerful the property speculators are, one person can't live in more than a dozen suites.
In order not to smash the house in their hands, they can only sell it at a reduced price.
It's just that the hot investment in the market today is a working robot, and if you have a little spare money in your hand, the first consideration is not to buy a house, but to grab the right to earn from a working robot.
Even many young people who plan to buy a house are glad that they have not sold their houses, and if they take the down payment of the house in their hands to buy robots, they will have no worries about food and clothing for the rest of their lives, and they do not have to be a stressful house slave.
In this case, a fool goes to buy a house!
House prices give me fall, continue to fall!
Countless property speculators who have suffered heavy losses have fallen to the point that their parents don't know each other.
But they still have to find a way to sell the house and put the money into working robots to continue their speculative business.
It's just that no one really buys the house, unless it's cheaper and lower, and then someone is willing to take it over.
This situation can be said to be happy to see the houseless people in the whole country.
Zhou Ming also shook his head and smiled secretly.
However, his wife Su Yuxiang was not happy.
Very upset.
Looking at the house prices that are falling every day, her heart is like a drop of blood.
In other words, how did Su Yuxiang buy so many houses and become a "receiver"?
This has something to do with the "Chuangshen Biotechnology Research Center" founded by Zhou Ming.
After the establishment of this medical research institution, in less than two years, three "miracle drugs" have been developed.
One is against leukemia, with a cure rate of 99%.
One is against liver cancer, with a cure rate of 99%.
There is also a fight against AIDS, with a 100% cure rate.
These three miracle drugs were launched one after another, and the whole world was a sensation one after another, and countless terminally ill patients saw hope for survival.
The state has also vigorously supported and allowed "Chuangshen Technology" to shorten the time of clinical trials and release these three miracle drugs in advance.
As soon as these drugs were introduced to the medical market, they triggered a rush to buy.
In terms of drug prices, "Chuangshen Technology" is also quite conscientious, and the treatment cost of each course of the three drugs does not exceed 100,000 yuan in China.
As for foreign countries, these drugs not only have a limit on the number of exports, but also the purchase price of a single course of treatment is about 100,000 meters.
This naturally caused a wave of dissatisfaction and protests abroad, but Zhou Ming's attitude was very tough: love to buy, don't buy!
Zhou Ming's concept is: Chinese people can earn less money, and foreigners' money must be earned more!
The sales volume of the three "miracle drugs" is also considerable, and it has brought tens of billions of profits to "Chuangshen Technology" in less than half a year after it was launched on the market.
In addition, on the side of Morning Glory Game Company, Zhou Ming asked this company to help represent the game "Land of Glory", which currently has 300 million players, and its popularity has declined significantly compared with last year, but it has also brought more than 10 billion profits to Zhou Ming.
The sum of the two is more than 20 billion.
As the saying goes, the standard of a good husband is to keep all the money he earns to his wife, and keep nothing in his hands.
However, with a huge sum of more than 20 billion, how dare Zhou Ming give it all to Su Yuxiang...... That's not hundreds, millions.
Su Yuxiang also understands this truth, a man has a man's career, especially a successful man, and the funds he holds are related to the future of tens of millions of people, so she had better not reach out.
Zhou Ming gave her some "pocket money" at most.
Of course, it is said that it is pocket money, but the total amount of these pocket money is at least more than 1 billion.
There are also dozens of books written (transported) by Zhou Ming Chinese the end of the network, and millions of manuscript fees are also recorded every month...... These "little money" also belong to Su Yuxiang.
In short, the current Su Yuxiang is also a little rich woman with a net worth of more than one billion.
However, this money is basically all cash, and it will only continue to depreciate in the bank.
Speculating in stocks, managing money or something, Su Yuxiang doesn't know much about it.
After consulting some relatives and friends, she felt that buying a house was a good choice.
If you have dozens of houses on your hands, even if the house price will not rise in the future, it is still great to rent it to someone else to earn some rent.
So she looked around and spent a lot of money, and in two months, she bought more than 30 houses.
In fact, at that time, housing prices had already shown a significant downward momentum, and the imminent outbreak of the "robot revolution" also made the real estate market panic and chaos...... Su Yuxiang picked up a lot of bargains and bought a number of houses with a price drop of more than 1,000 yuan.
Zhou Ming persuaded her not to buy so many houses, saying that in the future, housing prices will be like onions, and so many houses will definitely lose a lot in the future.
Su Yuxiang hesitated for a moment, feeling that what Zhou Ming said made some sense.
However, seeing reports of "boycotting robots" everywhere on the news, as well as the retaliatory rise in housing prices in some cities, gave her a certain confidence, so she said to Zhou Ming: "Housing prices will not fall, even if they fall, they will not fall much, and investing in real estate is profitable." ”
Her view is the same as the mainstream view, firmly believing that house prices will not fall sharply!
Naturally, the results need not be said.
Su Yuxiang, who invested almost all her money in real estate, lost millions every time the house price index fell by 100!
And the downward trend in housing prices seems to have no end in sight.
I can't sell it if I want to.
I can only bear it silently, and my heart is dripping blood.
Zhou Ming shook his head, and it was not easy to comment on anything.
Human beings are naturally profit-seeking, and speculation is also a manifestation of human greed.
Depositing money in the bank does not have the slightest sense of security, but feels that the loss is not small.
In the final analysis, most people still want to be a "rentier class" who can make money lying still, hoping to exchange their comfort and happiness through the labor sacrifice of house slaves.
There is nothing wrong with this, and no one can stop it.
But......
Technology is evolving.
Technology is advancing.
When one day, people enter the era of high productivity, high welfare, and high freedom, the static house will naturally continue to depreciate in value and the price will be like a green onion.
