I owned a house in the sea market. In the eyes of many people, they bid farewell to the life of "sea drifting" and officially became "sea market people".

But Zhao Hong was a little unimpressed. In his view, although many people live and work in Haishi, they are still just "countrymen" who run around the city. Because they still don't have a hukou in Haishi, all their marks show that they are far from being "Haishi people", their social security, their medical insurance, as the children grow up and go to school, there are all kinds of differences. Not to mention them, even their family can still feel a lot of inconvenience in Haishi......

"The place where the community is located used to be a village called 'Anting Town Five Villages', and now, there are villages and farmland around it. There are no all-weather buses or regular taxis"

Xiao Wanting said to Zhao Hong, "The commercial housing community where my friend is located is also in the "Ring Highway". The premise is that if there is a ring highway, then they are also from the city. ”

This situation makes her feel like her friend lives in a "village city". She learned from people in the real estate industry that there are similar properties in the suburbs of Haishi. Almost all of these properties are quite a short distance from the subway, and the surrounding area is still a village or wasteland. However, such real estate often has low housing prices, and most of them are "just needed houses".

Zhao Hong explained to her the reason for the current phenomenon, "Since 1996, housing prices in the sea market have begun to rise at an accelerated pace. Rising house prices have forced homebuyer demand to shift to the suburbs of large cities. On the other hand, from the developer's point of view, with the implementation of the national policy on the development of Pudong in the sea market, the land price in the sea market will become higher and higher, and developers who cannot afford to buy land in the urban area will look to the suburbs of the city. And it's still getting farther and farther away. ”

Guo Yi, who has worked and lived in Haishi for four years, has a deep understanding of this process.

She always remembers an advertisement for selling a house in a subway station with Zhao Hong in 1995. "That day, in fact, I just came out of the company's celebration banquet, we used to buy a house, there were many people in the sales department, holding a small advertisement and watching, 'Xinzhuang's fully decorated existing house, 2000 (yuan) a flat'. At that time, I whispered to my colleagues around me, where is Xinzhuang? It sounds very far away, who would buy a house there! Who would have thought that a year later, our company would have bought a villa there as an office space, and the company also collectively purchased several buildings, some of which were bought by the employees themselves, and some of which were bought by the company as collective dormitories for future workers. ”

In 1996, with the rapid development of Guo Yi's company, it was becoming more and more unsuitable to work in this small courtyard at that time, rather than renting someone else's house. I also see that house prices are rising day by day, and rents are also skyrocketing......

"We thought, just take advantage of the company's money, and the company's employees are making money, just buy (a house). Guo Yi said.

So, she and the company's employees began a long way to see the house. At this time, Su Ying and his wife only had five or six million yuan of activity funds in hand, and they would continue to use it for the company's operation, and the maximum down payment they could afford was 1 million yuan. They can only target the suburbs of Haishi, and new districts such as MH have left their footprints to look at houses.

After many comparisons, they still chose to stay in Xinzhuang, because it was indeed the best in all aspects such as the traffic environment! Zhao Hong also agreed to this plan at that time. Several villas with a down payment of 400,000 yuan and a loan of 800,000 yuan. The house was delivered at the end of 1996. In March 1997, just after the renovation was completed, the company moved in, because the company is developing too fast, and the staff office is indeed insufficient.

"At that time, many employees were renting at the end of their deadlines, and the landlord wanted to increase the rent, so we just moved in. Because I am afraid that there will be residual formaldehyde in my body, the house is in the cold weather, and the windows are always open for ventilation, which is sour!" Guo Yi said.

The biggest problem is the inconvenience of travel. The dormitory for non-local employees is nearby, which is more convenient for work, but it is troublesome for local employees.

Guo Yi can't imagine how inefficient it would be for employees to go out to run business if the company didn't buy a car. For the company, the biggest problem brought by the "village city" is the inconvenience of travel.

There are no all-weather buses from the community to the subway station, only the bus shuttle bus at stage time. From Monday to Friday, it will be opened to traffic from 7 a.m. to 9:30 a.m. and from 5:30 p.m. to 9 p.m., ferrying residents from several nearby communities to the subway entrance. It takes more than 10 minutes to take the bus to the subway entrance.

Guo Yi said, "The most troublesome thing is at night, and sometimes I have to work overtime in the company at night." After 9 o'clock, there will be no bus at the subway station, so I have no choice but to go to the staff dormitory to squeeze in. ”

"I remember, when I first moved in, there was no such bus shuttle. The company also bought a few public bicycles. It's convenient for everyone to go out. Guo Yi recalled.

"Another time, in the summer, employees rushed to meet customers, dressed up and rode their bikes to the subway station. But the chain of the car broke halfway, and she pushed the car all the way in high heels, which was particularly embarrassing. ”

In addition to the inconvenient transportation between the subway and his home, what makes Guo Yi even more uncomfortable is the large amount of time spent on the road every day. As soon as I moved into the new office, I encountered the peak development period of the business, and everyone was so tired! Living in the dormitory was better, and it was even more tiring to go back and forth every day.

"Even if the company leaves work on time at half past five in the evening, it will be eight o'clock when I get home, and there are people in the community who have eaten and come out for a walk. When I see them, I feel very uncomfortable thinking that I have just left work. I don't think life should be like this. When I got home, I ate at nine o'clock and went to bed at ten o'clock. I think it's a very unhealthy life. Guo Yi said with some excitement.

If the work is too busy, after 9 o'clock in the evening, the employees can only take a taxi home from the unit, and then the company will reimburse them......

Xiao Wanting listened to Guo Yi's story, and also felt a little uncomfortable for Guo Yi's efforts, and said with some admiration, "It's really not easy for you at that stage! It's much more difficult than me in country M!"

Zhao Hong also said helplessly, "Otherwise, why did I stay by her side to help at that time? There are many opportunities in China, but it was very hard to make money at that time!"

"Cut! Aren't you still studying on campus! Enjoy your youthful school years? If it weren't for the fact that I had already experienced a more tiring life as a migrant worker than this, and there were parents and children at home who were looking forward to my success! I might not have been able to persevere!"

Guo Yi said with some dissatisfaction.

Xiao Wanting also agreed, "That's it, you're a big lazy worm! Who else can take a fancy to you except our sisters?"

"Haha......" They laughed very satisfied and happy, and Zhao Hong just didn't know what to say on the side.
