The handover work went smoothly, the Organization Department of the Municipal Party Committee announced the completion of the appointment and dismissal documents in the morning, Tian Wenjian and Xiao Na packed their luggage in the afternoon, and hurried back to Beijing with Xiao Jingwen and An Xiaobin.

Seven years ago, I came at night, and seven years later, I left at night again. I don't dare to say that the two sleeves are breezy, but it can be regarded as a light car and simple, and it does not move the public.

Although he has not been in the capital for seven years, Chen Hongjun has kept the three-bedroom apartment when he first entered Beijing. So many things have happened, Tian Wenjian's family naturally won't live anymore. This does not mean that he feels ashamed, for fear of being embarrassed to see his old friend, but he doesn't want to send people under the fence like before.

At the same time, he also rejected An Xiaobin's kindness, after all, in this sensitive period, it is better to keep a little distance from all factions.

The housing prices in the capital are too expensive, and before the real estate in Jiangcheng is not cashed out, Tian Wenjian and his wife really can't afford it. What's more, although "Centennial Image" is not so profitable, it is also a career, and it is easy to close the door and enter the bag, but then the brother-in-law Gu Xiaojun and others will have to lose their jobs.

Tian Wenjian, who has no place to live for a while and never treats himself as an outsider, simply takes his wife and children to borrow it at Sister Chen's house, and the two families are crowded together, but they are also happy.

When we meet again after a long absence, there are a lot of topics to talk about. Only by living in peace can we be happy, and the most talked about is the issue of housing.

“…… If you really can't get a mortgage, right? Renting a house is not a problem, and it is also a problem to go to school, so it is good to solve it in one step. ”

Chen Jie's are still charming, and they speak like machine guns, so you don't have a chance to interject at all. Tian Wenjian shook his head slightly, and smiled casually: "Sister, I don't want to be a house slave for the rest of my life." Besides, going to the Development Research Center of the State Council is just a stopgap measure, and when the rumors pass, even if they don't drive me away, I won't stay longer. ”

In Dr. Tianda's view, there is really nothing to study in the Development Research Center. Simple problems are always complicated, and it is difficult to implement them even if they are researched. As for the part-time professor of the Central Party School, Tian Wenjian is even more disdainful, it's not that he hasn't done anything about Niu playing the piano, those people don't even want to have face, what's the point of telling them that?

It is a major feature of Chinese officialdom that he only goes up and down, and if he were not afraid of the face of the upper and lower levels, he would not have accepted this nominal and unreal position.

Maybe only university is his ultimate destination, and if he can't do it, he will return to his old job and become a journalist with a conscience, anyway, he doesn't want to be an official anymore.

How could Chen Yongjun not know his thoughts, so he diverted the topic, pointed to the evening newspaper on the coffee table, and asked with a smile: "Wenjian, do you see this round of regulation, can the housing prices come down?" ”

"yes, yes, I want to know that too?" Xiao Na obviously didn't want to run around anymore, and was bent on settling down in the capital, and when she saw Chen Yongjun talking about housing prices, she couldn't help but ask.

"My Grand Director, aren't you embarrassing me? I'm not Prime Minister, how do I know? ”

"Don't say it, I really have to ask you about it. If the prime minister had a way, he would have solved it long ago. Let's talk about it, there are no outsiders here. ”

Seeing the three of them staring at him, Tian Wenjian sighed secretly, shook his head and said with a wry smile: "During the two sessions, the prime minister has always emphasized the issue of housing prices, made it clear that housing prices should return to reasonable prices, and even claimed that real estate developers must have moral blood in their veins. Despite this, I am still pessimistic about real estate regulation, if we do not take tough measures, not only will it not fall sharply, but it is also very likely to induce a retaliatory rebound at a certain time and rise even higher. ”

Chen Yongjun didn't dare to agree, and said with a serious face: "But this time it's a real move!" As soon as the money is tightened, real estate developers will definitely not be able to hold on. ”

"My good brother-in-law, how did you become an official?"

Tian Wenjian rubbed his temples and said helplessly: "Real estate is not an isolated issue, but directly related to the reform of the political system. Officials raise so much, but also high consumption, the real economy simply can't afford to support, and the local political axe only sells land as a way to make money. Over the years, the real estate has been turned into a pillar industry and the housing prices have been raised to the sky. If the real estate is really allowed to collapse, won't the political axe go bankrupt? ”

Without waiting for Chen Yongjun to speak, Chen Jie said thoughtfully: "But it is a taboo for social stability to search for people's paste through real estate. Because housing is the most basic livelihood of the people, if the people can't afford to buy a house and can't live in a house, there will be great opinions and the society will be unstable. The contradictions have intensified to this extent, do the central leaders really not know? ”

"Yes, after all, real estate and land finance do not have a lasting surname, another negative effect is to stifle the real economy and industrial innovation, forcing the political axe can only be hanged on the tree of land finance, and now the harm to politics, economy and society has been presented, I think this time it will never be thunder and no rain."

Looking at Chen Yongjun's confident look, Tian Wenjian shook his head heavily, and said solemnly: "This is a dilemma, if housing prices fall, especially to a reasonable price that ordinary people can afford, then the local finance will immediately run out of food, what should so many officials do?" They have to pay their salaries, they have to spend three publics, they have to work in meetings, where does the money come from?

Whether we want people's livelihood and a good economy, or the jobs of officials, is the most fundamental game of interests at present. However, stability is paramount, the contingent of cadres must never waver, and the central authorities must ultimately compromise with officials at all levels, first protecting their status and jobs, and as for the common people...... And who cares about them? ”

After a pause, Tian Wenjian continued: "Officials will not take the country and the people as the overall situation and give up their status, privileges and interests, and the possibility of political system reform is very small, and it is conceivable whether housing prices can fall to a reasonable price." ”

Although what Dr. Tian said was very reasonable, Chen Yongjun still shook his head and said thoughtfully: "Why can the housing prices in the water be controlled?" Even if the waterfront model can't be replicated, the southwest model can. I don't trust so many economists that they can't come up with a solution. ”

"My good brother-in-law, it's time for you to wake up. There is no economics in China at all, only political economy. There is no market economy, more of a power economy, so I want to laugh when I hear Ren talk about market economy and free competition. ”

The atmosphere was a little heavy, Chen Jie hurriedly changed the topic, and asked with a smile: "Xiaojian, then what are your plans in the future?" I don't think you're the kind of person who breaks jars. ”

"Don't you still have a mouth and a hand?"

Tian Wenjian sighed, with a heavy expression, and said lightly: "Writing articles and teaching, even if you can't be Lu Xun, you won't even be as good as Master Lang, right?" ”
