(7) A long way to see the house
Zhang Gang vetoed on the other end of the phone: "My mother has just renovated her hometown, a brand-new three-story small western-style building, and there is such a big empty space downstairs, you can plant flowers and vegetables, why do you have to make any excitement and buy a commercial house that can't be wiped off the butt and has poor air quality?" ”
Li Xiaocan wanted to persuade Zhang Gang, so he had to take out the spirit of the college debate competition, and know how to move with emotion and reason-
Why buy a house? There are three reasons for this:
First, the employment environment. Is there a good job at home? Is there a good job with five insurances and one housing fund, large room for promotion, and high-speed rail travel by plane across the country? If so, why don't you and I stay at home? Why do parents come out to work and let us be left-behind children? How many days a year do you live at home? Is that still called home? Call a hostel! I also have to pay for renting a house now, and the rent is not the same as the monthly payment, so I don't need to say more. Besides, don't you know how much I've suffered in this city? If we buy a house here, then our children will not be on the streets at least in the middle of the night because they meet a black-hearted agent. I must not let my children endure the hardships I have endured once.
Second, educational resources. When did we learn English? Junior high school. What about the kids in the city? Kindergarten! By the time we can speak Apple, the kids in the city will be able to talk to foreigners in English! There are major universities and various training institutions everywhere in the city, what about our hometown? The county town is full of streets to find one or two training classes that are not famous. When other children travel abroad by plane, winter camp, summer camp, what about us? But I haven't even been to the provincial capital, how can our children make up for this gap in vision?
Third, medical resources. My colleague Sister Xia, do you know each other? is the one with short hair and baby fat on her face, and she is also from the county seat. Her child was two years old, and once the child had a cold, and was injected in the local maternal and child health hospital for a few days, but it did not get better, and then she was transferred to the people's hospital, and hung up for a few days, but she still did not get better. The child had a fever and all the people were wilting, so she was in a hurry, so she asked an acquaintance doctor, and the doctor told her that it was better to go to the provincial capital and stop delaying it any longer. She immediately chartered a bus to the provincial capital, and checked, oops, it's terrible, pneumonia causes sepsis! Immediately transferred to the Provincial Children's Hospital, and that night he was given a critical illness notice and admitted to the intensive care unit. The doctor said that if it was too late, the child would not be able to save his life. Later, she worked in sales in our company, with good performance, and tried her best to save money, so she wanted to send her child abroad. She studied English there when she had time, and I almost regarded her as an idol in my life. She works so hard, just to give the child a better place, what about us, let the child be a left-behind child, and go through our life trajectory again?
"Xiaocan, but the house is also more expensive than a house of millions, where did I get so much money, how can I pay back the monthly payment? Now this house price is like riding a rocket, and it can't be seen from afar, can we catch up? ”
"Even if you run to outer space, you have to chase it! Aren't we lazy, stupid, or squandering, and we can't even build a house in our lifetime? ”
"Xiaocan, my family can't afford the down payment, the decoration of my hometown cost more than 100,000 yuan, and now the family has no money. If you want to buy a house, you can only borrow, and you have to empty my parents' pockets and our lifelong youth, do you think it's worth it? ”
"Of course it's worth it! As long as these good hospitals, good schools, and good companies are in the city, the houses in the city are worth it! For the sake of our children, we must climb out of our poor countryside, let him grow up in the metropolis, and give him a high starting point. ”
Zhang Gang bit his lip tightly over there, and was silent for a long time, Li Xiaocan knew that Zhang Gang was convinced, and he was thinking about weighing it. In addition to the clean air and beautiful environment in the countryside, the infrastructure is backward. It is an irrevocable and universally recognized fact that the house has become a necessity after studying, seeing a doctor, and finding a job.
Thus, the young couple took the first step in the material foundation of their true union - viewing the house.
A house of millions is the place where you can live in this life, the harbor of the soul, and the residence of the family, which is related to various practical problems in the future, so you can't be careless. They decided they wanted to buy the best and most cost-effective house in W City.
So they began to search on the Internet, noting down the average price, geographical location, development potential, real estate name, and developer qualifications of each area of W City, and after looking up the buying strategy, Zhang Gang and Xiaocan, with this notebook full of memorization, and a map of W City marked with various colors, took the subway to see the house quite imposingly.
Of course, she didn't tell Li Xiaocan's mother about this, Li's mother hoped that her daughter would wake up, break up with Zhang Gang, and find a local house with a house, and she would definitely not pay a penny. Therefore, their budget is only 150,000 yuan given to him by Zhang Gang's parents, plus the savings of the two people's work, a total of 170,000 yuan.
The first stop - Yujinglong Bay. This is already the border of the city of W, next to the city of X. Xiao Can walked and looked at it, this place was undeveloped, it was all primitive abandoned land, the yellow mound was overgrown with weeds, and only a few buildings with more than thirty floors stood here alone, abrupt and incongruous. A large blue sky, as empty and silent as a rural hometown, no straight and flat roads, no towering office buildings, no large supermarkets with music in which no one comes and goes, and the thought of living with his family for a lifetime on this wasteland that no one cares about, Li Xiaocan's enthusiasm for looking at the house was instantly extinguished by reality: "Hey, it's a bit remote here." ”
"If it's not remote, it's not this price, and people who live in it won't be remote in the future." Zhang Gang was more accepting of the facts than Li Xiaocan, and pulled Li Xiaocan into the sales department.
The sales department was deserted, only the lights at the front desk were turned on, the lights in the hall next to them were turned off, and the chairs in the hall were empty. There was a sales lady sitting at the front desk, who was looking down and playing with her mobile phone.
"Can you tell us about the house?" Zhang Gang asked.
The sales lady didn't raise her head and threw out a sentence of "sold out".
Li Xiaocan was unwilling, took the subway for more than an hour, transferred to the bus for another hour, went around outside, and found this inconspicuous sales department after looking for a big circle. I finally came to visit, my mouth was dry, and I didn't drink a sip of water, so I was sent away by these three words, so I asked: "Is the small apartment also sold out?" ”
"Sold out! Sold out! Not a single set is gone! "The sales lady is a little impatient.
Li Xiaocan and Zhang Gang had to walk out stupidly. Doesn't it mean that the customer is God? Anyway, we brought hundreds of thousands, which is also considered a bulk consumption, so it won't be treated like this!
They don't know that in the real estate market, hundreds of thousands can only buy a small room of about ten square meters. The huge amount of money they thought was a drop in the bucket in the face of high housing prices.
