Chapter Eighty-Eight: Buying a House
As the introducer, Deputy Manager Yang took everyone into the newly completed staff building, and soon everyone noticed the material of the ground.
"Adams, this is concrete made from cement produced by the cement factory you manage, right? Is it actually used to make floors? That's too extravagant, isn't it?"
Edmund looked at the flat concrete floor in amazement, tried to stomp it with his foot, and found that it was very solid, and definitely did not have the dirty, fluffy feeling of the slum mud floor.
I am afraid that even a civilian's house cannot afford such a concrete floor, but I didn't expect it to be used by a construction company in such a place.
"Well, it's cement, yes, but it seems to be a little different, according to the boss, this is cement mixed with small stones and sand to make concrete, the cost is lower, and the strength is higher, and the house is built with such materials quickly and strongly!"
Adams explained as he touched the snow-white plaster on the wall, revealing a somewhat moved look.
Although the factory directors have made a lot of money, because of their work, their families have always lived in the slums, and there is no change in their living conditions, except that food and clothing are no longer a problem.
In Adams' opinion, it would be great if they could buy a house to live in such a building.
After carefully considering the amount of gold he had accumulated over this time, Adams began to hesitate between continuing to save money to buy his own boat or buying a house first.
Even Adams, who dreamed of owning his own boat, was a little shaken, and several other factory directors and employees were even more excited.
"That's right, as Adams said, our staff building is made of bamboo-reinforced concrete, which is very safe, and the lime walls and concrete floors look very clean!
Come with me, and I'll show you around the inside of the staff suite!"
With a smile on his face, Deputy Manager Yang pushed open the wooden door of the 101 suite, revealing the interior of the house that resembled the rough house in Xia Lin's previous life, although it looked very rough in Xia Lin, it was very delicate in the eyes of these visitors.
"Oh my God! How big is a suite? That's how many people can live there!"
Edmund's eyes widened as he looked at the 65-square-meter space inside the suite, and immediately sighed.
"Director Edmund, in our design, a suite is 65 square meters in size, which can accommodate a family, that is, three to six people.
The interior layout of these suites is three bedrooms, one living room and one kitchen, which is enough for a family of four to have their own room and a family of six to live comfortably.
The living room can be used to set up some furniture such as tables and chairs to entertain guests, and although the kitchen is only five square meters, it is equipped with a briquette stove designed by our owner, His Excellency Xia Lin.
For just 1 copper bis, our residents can buy a briquette from our newly built briquette workshop in Xinglan Industrial Park, which is enough for everyone to cook three meals a day, saving them the trouble of cutting firewood and grass in the reeds!"
Deputy Manager Yang introduced everyone with a smile.
"Can you still have your own room?"
"I know this briquette stove, it's a new product from the machine tool factory, and it seems to cost only 2 silver mar for one!"
Hearing Deputy Manager Yang's explanation, the employees were surprised and discussed. One person can have a dozen square meters of room, and they have never imagined such a thing.
"What about going into the pit?"
However, Luo Yin looked around, frowned and asked a question.
The so-called upper pit is to go to the toilet, because there are many large pits in the slums for dumping all kinds of garbage, everyone calls the toilet an upper pit, as for the washroom, it is still the existence that Xia Lin came into contact with after becoming a sergeant.
"Of course we'll fix that! Please come with me!"
Deputy Manager Yang smiled mysteriously and led a group of curious visitors to the toilet at the end of the corridor:
"Look, everyone, this is the toilet, that's all
It's the place where we go to the pit.
There are small cubicles separated by wooden planks, and this strange pattern of pottery pit allows us to squat on it, and after going up the pit, we can wipe our butts with the paper placed next to it, and then use this wooden bucket to catch water and wash the feces down!"
As he spoke, Deputy Manager Yang twisted the brass faucet of the toilet, and a stream of clear water flowed from the faucet to the wooden barrel below, which immediately attracted a burst of amazement from the visitors.
"Oh my God! What is this? Why does it come out of the water?"
"Is there a connection to a well underneath this pipe? Or is it the boss's magic? It's amazing!"
"I decided that I had to buy a house in the employee community, so that I could have that briquette stove for food, and I didn't need to go to the river or a well to fetch water, which was so convenient!"
The group looked at the faucet that would automatically dispense water when it was twisted, and they were amazed.
Water is the most indispensable part of human life, so any settlement is located near a water source.
But fetching water is an eternal problem in a world where productivity is not developed, and it's no wonder that these people don't respond to the 65-square-meter suite as much as they see this automatic water tap.
"It's a brass faucet, please come over here and look at the tall building.
It's actually a water tower that pumps water into the tower and stores it, and then when we want to use it, we can turn on the tap and get a quick and easy source of water!"
Deputy Manager Yang smiled and came to the window of the toilet and pointed to the water tower not far away.
"How is this done? It's amazing! Can there be water on the third floor? I want to buy a house on the third floor!"
An employee looked at the tall water tower standing behind the staff building in amazement, and turned to Deputy Manager Yang and asked.
"There is also water on the third floor, but the boss said that the water pressure is not enough, and the water flow on the third floor will be smaller, so our boss also stipulates the water use time on each floor in the morning and evening.
Look at the sundial on the flat ground outside, and when the shadow of the stick in the middle falls to the blue part is the water time on the first floor, the yellow part is the second floor, and the red part is the third floor.
As for the other parts that are not colored, it is the time period when everyone can use water as they like, mainly to prevent everyone from using too much water and the water supply of the water tower cannot be supplied and the water supply will be stopped."
Hearing this question, Deputy Manager Yang pointed to a sundial in the employee community by the window, on which the time period of 6 a.m. and 6 p.m. was marked with eye-catching paint.
"I want to buy a house, four golden, right? I can pay it right now!"
Looking at these novel and convenient facilities, Luo Yin could no longer suppress his desire to buy, and asked Deputy Manager Yang.
"It's four Jinlunte, that's right, who is that, you take Director Luo Yin to each suite to have a look, Director Luo Yin, which one do you want to buy, just tell this young man directly!"
I didn't expect the business to open so soon, Deputy Manager Yang's smile became more and more sincere, and he called out an employee whose name he hadn't written down yet and asked him to take Luo Yin to see the house:
"As you can see, our staff building is designed everywhere for the convenience of everyone's life, and even the construction drawings are drawn by Boss Xia Lin himself.
Now is the period for internal employees to buy, and the price is only 4 gold, and even the new district development company can provide low-interest loans for everyone to buy in installments.
Soon, concrete roads from the employee community to the industrial park and even steel-clad wooden rails will be built.
It's just that when the new district development company will open these buildings to our employees in the industrial park, I don't think you will have the opportunity to live in such a good house again!"
"If you build a concrete road, wouldn't it be easier to get to work in the future? Then I'll buy a set!"
Hearing Deputy Manager Yang's words, Edmund suddenly showed a look of interest and hurriedly shouted.
Anyway, in the eyes of these well-paid factory directors, four gold lunt is enough
It is not a lot of money, and Edmund's savings from dividends and wages during this period are also twenty or thirty gold lundes, and in his opinion, it is definitely worth it to use these money to buy such a comfortable house.
The reason why he was so hesitant before was just that Edmund wanted to discuss it with his parents, and now that Deputy Manager Yang said this, Edmund, who was completely moved, naturally had to seize the opportunity.
"I want to buy it too, how do I get that installment?"
"This staff building is really good! I want to buy a suite on the second floor!"
Seeing the exciting living facilities of the staff building, and being promised to build roads and even railways in the future to speed up their commute, more than 30 visitors decided to buy a suite.
Deputy Manager Yang immediately smiled when he saw this scene, these will be counted as his achievements, and he hurriedly arranged for the new staff of the new district development company to handle the house purchase procedures and housing loans for customers.
