Chapter 4994: The Body Is in Heaven, the Heart Is in Hell
The quality of Chinese projects has always been criticized by the people. After all, there are too many shoddy projects. For example, the bridge collapsed by the armed police officers, the famous building was fragile, and the levee collapsed by the big waves. These are all representatives of shoddy projects.
As for the quality of Chinese houses, the most criticized is the lack of sound insulation and low water pressure. As for the lack of heat insulation, since there is no relevant thing to test, and it is an intangible thing, the general consumers do not have much sensory knowledge of it. But the lack of sound insulation and low water pressure are very direct.
This time, the release of the "White Paper on Chinese Housing Quality" stipulates all aspects, which can be said to solve all the dissatisfaction with residential buildings at one time. There are also rigid standards for community parking lots, green areas, common areas, and fitness venues. It can be said that if all real estate companies build according to this standard in the future, then everyone will truly enjoy what a livable community is.
Nowadays, except for those truly aristocratic communities, ordinary communities are lucky to have a little green belt. As for having enough lawns, basketball courts, etc., forget it. There are also underground garages, which are mostly not equipped. In this case, this community is just for one person to live in. As for whether it is livable or not, that is a joke.
Of course, in today's real estate environment in China, it is good enough if you can buy a house. Do you still expect these? Don't expect it. But this time, Lin Feng has mandatory regulations for it, and fifteen real estate companies have signed agreements, which is a good thing for everyone.
Before this, although there were various low-rent houses built by Lin Feng's "Second Real Estate", they were a minority after all. Lin Feng's company could not get so many plots of land, so it was considered that there were too many monks and too little porridge. In this regard, everyone also understands that after all, there are not many philanthropists like Lin Feng. Therefore, they did not expect to be lucky enough to live in Lin Feng's community. Therefore, they all counted on those real estate companies. Now they are willing to build communities similar to Lin Feng's community, which is great.
Almost everyone praised it. The whole nation gave a thumbs up to the "White Paper on China's Housing Quality". They all said that these real estate companies really did a good thing. It can be said to be a great thing that benefits the country and the people.
Of course, there are only 15 real estate companies. Will other real estate companies build according to the standards of this "White Paper on China's Housing Quality"? What if they don't build? After all, there are more than a thousand real estate companies in the country. Although these 15 are the largest, they only account for a small share.
In the face of the people's doubts and concerns, Lin Feng posted a Weibo.
- If other real estate companies do not meet the standards, then everyone can choose the properties of these 15 real estate companies. I believe that everyone will never be unable to buy a property. Of course, I also welcome real estate companies across the country to join this standard.
Lin Feng's Weibo post undoubtedly received thumbs up from the whole nation again. And those real estate companies that are still hesitating and waiting are cursing. If you say this, aren't you forcing them to join this shitty standard? Like Xu Jiayin and Wang Jianlin, they all hope that Chinese houses can be built to the sky and can be lived in for 70 years, but in fact, no one can live in them for 70 years. Even if they can live in them for 60 years, it is already shocking and shocking. In this case, why do you build such high-quality buildings? In addition, those communities actually need lawns, basketball courts, etc. Do you really need to do this? It’s good enough to have a house to live in, why do you have such high requirements!
In particular, these are all extra, which forces them to increase costs! So, they are all waiting to see if this is feasible. After all, it is normal for Chinese projects to cut corners and use inferior materials as good ones. Maybe these big companies will implement one set of policies on the surface and another set of policies behind the scenes. At that time, it will have no impact on them at all.
But Lin Feng’s Weibo post undoubtedly pushed them to the edge of the cliff. Their strength was originally not good, and now they are forced by Lin Feng. If they don’t join, then these big real estate companies will definitely swallow up their market share. At that time, they will only be out. Helpless, they could only choose to join.
Afterwards, everyone immediately took a plane to Mian-Zhu to sign the agreement. Afterwards, Lin Feng also ordered people to build the "China Housing Quality Network", put all its contents on the Internet, and made all the names of the participating companies public, and began to intensively select candidates for the "Quality Inspection Team".
This naturally received support from the people across the country, and they signed up enthusiastically. After all, the salary is not low. Although there are many requirements, first, you must study hard and be able to learn various methods of identifying housing quality; second, you must endure the turbulence of flying around every year; third, you must have the courage to speak out, not fear power, and dare to expose various shady dealings; fourth, you must be able to maintain your integrity and not accept bribes.
These four points, although they seem simple, are by no means something that ordinary people can do. However, the number of applicants is still beyond imagination. After all, this is the only job that does not require academic qualifications, has absolutely equal opportunities, and looks very decent. In particular, they all firmly believe that the salary given by Lin Feng will definitely not be very low. Therefore, the number of applicants nationwide still exceeds 10 million.
As for the selection, it is natural to take a written test through the Internet, and then a second online interview, and finally go to the headquarters of the newly established "China Housing Quality Committee" in Shanghai for an interview. There are three levels in total to select the members of the final "Housing Quality Inspection Group".
While the interview was in full swing, something happened. That is, the national housing prices suddenly rose. Especially in big cities, the rise is particularly fierce. Originally, the housing prices within the third ring road of Beijing are about 50,000 yuan, of course, except for school district housing. The fourth ring road is about 20,000-30,000, the fifth ring road is 10,000-20,000, and the sixth ring road is about 10,000. As a result, all of a sudden, all housing prices have risen by an average of 5,000 yuan.
This is not a big increase for housing prices within the third ring road, but for housing prices in other areas, the increase is a bit scary. And it is not just the rise in Beijing, but the rise in housing prices nationwide, and the price increase is almost the same. Basically, on the basis of the original housing prices, there is an increase of about 5,000 square meters per square meter.
This made all the home buyers stunned. What's going on? How could it suddenly rise so much! And it is a nationwide increase! This is unreasonable. What is going on?
While everyone was wondering, there was a rumor. The price increase is because the cost of real estate companies has increased. According to the standards of the "China Housing Quality White Paper", the average price per square meter must increase, and 5,000 is still a small amount. After all, the quality of the house is thick enough to withstand mortar attacks, the high water pressure can break your water pipes, the community is green like a park, and the configuration is like a large shopping mall. Such a real estate project, how can it not be expensive! These used to be high-end real estate projects, how can they not be expensive?
5,000? This is still a small amount, and it is still a preliminary estimate by real estate companies. Many real estate companies have begun to prepare to build the real estate projects under construction according to this standard, and are testing how much the average price of the floors built in this way can be. According to pessimistic estimates, 5,000 may be the minimum, and it is even possible to increase by 10,000!
This time, it scared everyone! On the existing basis, an increase of 10,000, this 100-square-meter building will increase by 1 million! This is too exaggerated. It's not easy for ordinary people to make money. They can easily earn another million. They can't afford it!
But before everyone could get tangled up, the price went up again. On the original basis, the average price was raised by 2,000 yuan per square meter. That is to say, in just a few days after the release of the "White Paper on China's Housing Quality", China's housing prices rose by almost 7,000 yuan. You know, this is the average price, which is almost the same nationwide, including third- and fourth-tier cities. The original housing prices in these cities were only about three or four thousand. All of a sudden, they all broke ten thousand.
The national housing prices are all over ten thousand! What is this concept? This is a very crazy concept! Some media took this opportunity to ridicule that if calculated according to the current housing prices, the land value of China can probably buy 10 United States.
10 United States! This is too scary! This is a number that makes everyone crazy. But think about it carefully, isn't it. Including fourth-tier cities, housing prices have broken ten thousand. And the local wages, the average wage is only about 1,500. With such a wage level, how can such a high housing price be afforded. In the past, the housing price of 3,000 or 4,000 yuan was barely affordable, but now they can't afford it.
How can the housing price be so high?
Some people began to spread on the Internet. Why are Chinese housing prices so expensive? Why are the housing prices in third- and fourth-tier cities over 10,000 yuan? The reason is that Lin Feng launched the "White Paper on China's Housing Quality". Because the requirements are too good, the cost of Chinese real estate companies is too high, which leads to rising housing prices. Although everyone hopes to live in a good house and live comfortably, this will inevitably lead to rising housing prices. Therefore, before this, it was not that real estate companies were unwilling to build livable communities, and they were unwilling to have trees and springs in the communities, but because of the cost, the housing prices were too high, which would make it out of reach for ordinary people.
The original intention of the God of Wind was good. He hoped that everyone would live in a garden community and enjoy a garden city-like life like Singapore. But this requires money. Lin Feng is very rich. He has so much money that he can throw it into the sea, but he forgot that most ordinary people don't have that much money and they can't afford such high housing prices. In their hearts, the biggest dream is not to live in a garden community, but to have their own home.
"What we want is a home, not a garden community" - a netizen named "If only as first sight" published this article, in which he made a sharp criticism of Lin Feng, believing that Lin Feng's move, under the guise of improving housing quality for all people and enjoying the garden community, was actually hurting the Chinese people in disguise, indirectly raising housing prices, forcing the people to bear longer-term mortgages, and even paying high mortgages that they may not be able to pay back for a lifetime.
At this time, the bank also stated that perhaps they could consider ultra-long mortgages. Nowadays, the longest mortgage is 30 years. According to the current housing prices and the current property market, the bank is considering the introduction of a 50-year mortgage to help the people relieve the pressure of buying a house, and can appropriately reduce the down payment of the mortgage.
The news about the bank will undoubtedly cause the already fermenting public dissatisfaction to explode immediately. If this is the case, wouldn't they have to be house slaves for the rest of their lives? Previously, the longest time to repay a mortgage was 30 years. If you buy a house at 30, you can repay the mortgage at most 60 years old. When you are old, you can still live in peace and enjoy your old age. But now, under such circumstances, how can you enjoy your old age in peace? Buy a house at the age of 30, and 50 years later, you will be 80 years old. 80 years old, can you live to be 80 years old? Is it possible that I still have to pay off my debts until I die? Do you want your children and grandchildren to repay the debt?
If so, wouldn't life be too tiring and miserable? If this is the case, then no matter how comfortable they live, what's the use! Doesn’t that mean they are in heaven and their hearts are in hell?
Is this kind of life really comfortable? Is it really good? The public's emotions exploded in an instant, and they all angrily criticized real estate developers for such irresponsible price increases. Real estate developers have also expressed that they are also innocent. Because they all build their houses in strict accordance with the standards of the "White Paper on China's Housing Quality", and the current average price of 7,000 yuan has increased, this is a helpless choice they made after calculating the costs. They don't want to raise prices, but for the sake of housing quality and not being punished, they have no choice but to raise prices.
Of course, if everyone really cannot accept the price increase, there is only one way, and that is to have a referendum to abolish the "White Paper on China's Housing Quality." As long as everyone does not follow the standards of this "China Housing Quality White Paper", then housing prices should return to their original prices. Then, everyone can afford a house. Of course, this depends on whether Lin Feng is willing or not. After all, this "White Paper on China's Housing Quality" was created by Lin Feng alone. Does he agree?
The emotions of the masses were naturally directed towards Lin Feng. Of course, fortunately, Lin Feng's popularity in China is really high, and Lin Feng has never done anything unscrupulous in these years. Therefore, the common people have not yet cursed Lin Feng as a profiteer who wants to steal their money. On the contrary, they think that Lin Feng was doing it for their own good, but he did not consider it carefully and did not think about the cost, which is why the current sharp rise in housing prices has occurred.
So, can the "White Paper on China's Housing Quality" be abolished? Some people have started a petition!
