Chapter 993: Advanced
The property company also offers a variety of minor repairs, which are not free of charge, but are also convenient for residents. Whether your home has a broken circuit, a problem with water supply and drainage, or a house that needs minor changes, you can ask the property management company for help.
The service it provides is more guaranteed than the temporary unfamiliar personnel, and the problem only needs to be responded to in the property company, which is considered to be the guarantee of after-sales service.
This is only the first step, as the time for property companies to settle in increases, more convenient services will be launched in the future. For example, waste and garbage disposal, overall greening improvement, unified transportation of children to and from school, legal aid, decoration supervision, hiring nannies, pet management, water and electricity grid bills, etc.
With the overall management of the property company, the price of broadband access and cable TV access will also be reduced. Because it can negotiate with the corresponding company as a group user, it is more convincing than for each individual to go it alone.
Anyway, the benefits are visible to everyone, and there is only one disadvantage, that is, each household has to pay a certain amount of property fees every month. This amount of money is not much, an average of about 1,000 yuan a year for a household. This is still the price of a single house, and if it is a large courtyard, it will be reduced accordingly due to the difference in living area.
In fact, property management companies do not rely entirely on property fees to survive, but more on paid value-added services, such as various repairs and maintenance, pick-up, housekeeping services, booth leasing within the community, acceptance of advertising, etc.
But here Hong Tao has made another drawback, the winning property company is not aimed at the 25 residents at all, it is itself a supporting company after the development of the real estate by the aunt-in-law company, and there must be no such 25 residents.
As far as these 25 households are concerned, it loses money, and the reason why it is still willing to bid is because of the relationship between the eldest aunt and the husband, and more importantly, because of the greater market prospects and the subsidies given by Hong Tao privately.
As long as more residents can join the management committee in the later stage, it is equivalent to joining the service scope of the property management company at the same time. Once the number of paying residents reaches a certain value, then the property company may enter the breakeven mode.
And the subsidy that Hong Tao gave them was not money, but a house. That's right, it's those door-face rooms.
These houses will be rented to the property management company at a price that is neither too high nor too low, and it will manage and rent it in a unified manner, and the difference in price is the subsidy of the property company.
If the business is doing well, the difference in the rental cost of these houses alone may allow the property company to cover all the losses and maybe make a profit.
Some people may ask, is it true that property management companies do not aim to make profits? In fact, most of the property management companies in the capital basically lose money as long as they do not cheat and cheat and exploit the residents.
So how do so many loss-making property companies survive? Quite simply, developers will subsidize them.
After the developer develops a real estate, a property company must be established for effective management in accordance with laws and regulations, otherwise not only will it not be able to obtain the sales certificate, but the reputation of the real estate will be poor, which will affect the value of the real estate, which is enough for the developer to have a headache.
Therefore, the developer is not kind, but can only say that the price of your house has included this part of the cost, and the inside and outside are all your money, but it has been turned by the developer's hand.
Hong Tao does not agree with this model, he hopes that the property company can also be really profitable, so that it can survive for a long time and healthily, and it is not easy to reduce the quality of service and exploit residents. The ideal community, whether it can be achieved or not, must be ideal first.
But outsiders don't know the twists and turns, let alone outsiders, except for a very few people, even the manager of the property company doesn't know why the head office has to let him bid for such a small project, not to mention the short-term benefits, but also take up a lot of manpower.
Of course, he won't think so when he sees the doors and faces that will be available for rent from the management committee, and the value of those houses and the location will make every property company manager smile.
But don't laugh too early, these façade houses are not rented out unconditionally, and the management committee has strict requirements for the business environment near the community. Projects such as restaurants, laundry rooms, bars, small supermarkets, gyms, hair salons, florists, auto repair shops, car washes, etc., should not only be complete, but also not too repeated.
It's not that whoever gives more money will rent it to whom, these problems have to be balanced by the manager of the property company himself, anyway, any store must be agreed by the three representatives of the management committee.
In fact, it is not that they agree, their resolution will be forwarded to Hong Tao by Wu Xiaolan, director of the neighborhood committee, and they can only be counted after receiving instructions, otherwise it will be in vain if they agree. Because Wu Xiaolan has the right of veto, this is also a prerequisite for the sub-district office to agree to the self-construction management committee of community residents.
But what they didn't expect was that this condition was not prepared for them, and Wu Xiaolan's real superior was not the street office, but a housewife and man who had nothing to do with a few children all day long, Hong Tao!
Speaking of children, the second thing done by the Houhai Social Management Committee also followed, what is it?
Nowadays, kindergartens are becoming more and more expensive and difficult to enter. But each family has only one baby child, and I don't know if it was the grandson bastard who said that who can't be bitter if it's bitter.
The direct consequence of this sentence is that the children who should suffer the most have become little emperors, and the adults themselves shrink their clothes and diet, and they have to slap their swollen faces and become fat, and desperately send their children to better kindergartens. As the name suggests, you can't lose at the starting line.
At this point, the community structure in Europe and the United States is more reasonable, everyone lives in a concentrated manner according to different income levels, and several communities of the same grade share kindergartens, primary schools, and even middle schools. In this way, everyone can't compare, everyone's income is about the same, and they can't compare who can eat.
The children of the rich will always have more educational resources and a greater chance of becoming a talented person than the children of the poor, and they will have a greater chance of becoming rich in the future.
This is necessary and humane. Our ancestors said that dragons give birth to dragons, phoenixes give birth to phoenixes, and rats have sons who will make holes, and there are warnings such as the right door.
The class thing exists in any society, and it must be relatively stable. Whether everyone likes it or not, that's the way it is. Only when all strata are relatively stable will the whole society be stable.
The main culprit of class solidification is not the clear boundaries between the various strata, but the loss of circulation channels for each other. There is an advertising slogan that is very appropriate here, called "General is not painful, and pain is not clear".
As long as the circulation channels can be unblocked and the number increases, the poor can see enough room for growth, and there is no need for hundreds of millions of people to squeeze a small road like the ancient imperial examination, and every family still needs to force their children to desperately compete for the starting line?
In this way, it can not only stabilize the society, but also make full use of social resources, mobilize enough enthusiasm in all walks of life, and do not have to go to work all day.
Someone else said that we have been fighting for many years in the class struggle, and we have long since eliminated the class. Whoever says this is either blind or brain-dead.
If you want to talk about class solidification, China can be ranked among the top few in the world, except for those countries that are born with racial discrimination, I am afraid that we are amazing.
There is no need to argue about this, what is the second generation of officials, the second generation of rich, and the second generation of red? If there is no so-called elite class, these second generations all jump out of the cracks in the stones?
And apart from the exam, we basically have no way to rise to the civilian class. As long as you look at the history books, you will find that in the past, it was a cold window to study hard to be an official, but now it is still a virtue, and the college entrance examination has become a national movement, the scale is comparable to the Spring Festival, and the importance is more than that.
The second thing Hong Tao did was to set up a community kindergarten in the Wei family's compound to receive school-age children from his community.
Kindergarten teachers are all hired from abroad for the time being, and they are no longer bilingual, as long as you want to learn, English alone has five or six accents from the United States, Britain, India, Australia and Hong Kong, plus French, German and Latin.
