Chapter 610 It’s just the right time
Finding an extra room is easy.
The difficult thing is that there is indeed a shortage of housing these days, and there is a shortage of housing everywhere.
No matter how big the state-owned unit is, people who are waiting on tiptoe to be allocated a room can wait ten or twenty years later.
This is something that even the country is worried about.
For example, at the beginning of this year, the "Beijing Construction Master Plan" was released. The primary goal of the Beijing government is to carry out large-scale construction of residential buildings to alleviate the housing shortage problem.
What is not difficult is that as long as there is a need for anything, there will be a market.
Regardless of whether the thing is tangible or intangible, the law allows or disallows buying and selling, and whether the market is open or secret.
As long as you have money, you can always solve problems by spending money.
In an era when supplies were scarce and hunger was rampant, all kinds of tickets were much more valuable than money, and the country completely implemented a rationing system.
But even so, the phenomenon of ticket reselling has existed for a long time.
There is also the Friendship Store. Things that cannot be bought with RMB outside can be bought with foreign exchange coupons in the store, and you can even get discounts.
So there is a trading market for foreign exchange coupons.
Even when the country does not allow buying and selling, this thing has still become a noble currency, far more valuable than the RMB.
The same is true for houses.
Although since the founding of the People's Republic of China, public housing has been allocated.
Private houses have also begun the process of "reforming" ownership, gradually returning them to public ownership through redemption, and individuals are not allowed to rent or re-trade them.
However, as the relevant systems were relaxed slightly and the social situation eased, private transactions and rentals of houses began to revive.
And with extremely strong vitality, it became a spark that started a prairie fire.
In fact, even if you don’t have a private house, this matter will always be blocked.
In a special way, public housing has become a commodity in disguise at housing exchange stations.
Everyone knows that in these days, unit allocation is a very important benefit, but how it is distributed is not necessarily fair.
Those homeowners who have the word "excess housing" are all people who have taken advantage of "public housing".
By virtue of their positions, status, seniority and interpersonal relationships, they occupied more owners of houses when the units allocated houses.
For them, the house they are allocated is like meat that they eat into their mouths, and no one will spit it out again.
However, if there are too many houses, just looking at them would be quite disturbing.
Naturally, they came up with the idea of sending the house to a house exchange station to find a buyer.
To put it bluntly, their real purpose in coming to the housing exchange station is not to exchange housing, but to resell public housing in this way.
Once the two parties have negotiated the terms, there will be no need to go through the procedures of changing houses at all.
Instead, one brings the money and the other brings the book, and goes to the housing management office to transfer the ownership and change the lessee.
To put it more clearly, it is reselling the leasehold.
As this kind of thing goes on for a long time, not only the people who change housing stations become accustomed to it.
Even here, like other gray transactions, an underground market has been formed at the door, and "house bugs" who specialize in this business have been bred.
The composition of the people who do this is extremely complex.
There are idle people in society, retired employees of the housing management department, relatives of current employees in the housing management department, "fangxianer people" who have been eating this bowl of rice before liberation, and some who earn "labor insurance" at home. Those who make extra money include retirees, children of working cadres, etc.
In short, "house bugs" can be said to include three religions and nine streams, five elements and eight works in society.
The only thing they have in common is their wide range of social contacts.
At least you have to be able to find a house by smell to be able to enjoy this meal.
The above is what Ning Weimin learned from the people at the housing exchange station.
Think about it, how beneficial this is to him now?
He lacked everything except money.
Since there is such a way to go, is the problem of relocation still difficult?
Even after learning about this situation, Ning Weimin felt extremely regretful.
If nothing else, he regretted knowing that it was too late.
Otherwise, there would be no need for him to search around and have nowhere to put his collection.
Looking back now, it seems that in the first few years of co-operation, all the worry about the house was spent in vain. How anxious he was in vain.
Of course, having said that, this "knowing it too late" is also relative.
Because he was tasked with recovering Ma's Garden for Kang Shude, Ning Weimin never forgot to find someone through his connections.
Jiang Hui and Li Zhongcai would like him and introduce Meng Yi to him. Otherwise, where would he go to learn about relevant policies? There's no chance of knowing.
To be honest, for this era without the Internet, the speed of information dissemination is too slow.
But also because of this, information is extremely valuable and of high value.
Ning Weimin is really good at understanding this news now.
Not only is it not too late, but it is also very lucky that it happened at the right time.
Why?
The reason is obvious, because 1984 was a key turning point in the "rural encirclement of cities".
Because this year is the beginning of the great migration of labor force in my country during the reform and opening up phase!
As we all know, our country has always implemented a dual urban-rural household registration system.
Especially after 1958, due to the shortage of national materials, grain, oil and non-staple food began to implement a rationing system, and people received it according to their household registration.
In this case, even if farmers enter the city, they will not be able to survive.
But in 1984 it was different.
Due to successive bumper harvests, we have no shortage of food.
Not only has the urban grain and oil policy been liberalized as a result, but there has also been a problem of surplus labor in rural areas.
That’s why the country issued documents to encourage individual industrial and commercial households in rural areas to provide their own food rations and set up stalls in cities and towns.
Even if conditions permit, with the approval of the industrial and commercial administration department, you can open a store in the city.
This is tantamount to saying that Emperor Yongzheng of the Qing Dynasty implemented "sharing a small family into an area".
The Republic thus gave freedom to the rural labor force, and the city opened its doors to the countryside.
Farmers began to cross from the "red light stage" where they were absolutely unable to enter the city to the "yellow light stage" where they could enter the city with conditions.
This means that major, medium and small cities across the country are no longer restricted areas for farmers, and there will inevitably be a huge migration wave.
Being the capital, Beijing will definitely experience a population explosion.
Many handicraftsmen from the countryside, small businessmen and hawkers, as well as countless private capital from foreign lands will come one after another.
These people bring exotic food, culture, customs, and dialects, and they are destined to accelerate the change of the landscape of the capital, making the people's livelihood in the capital more diverse and richer.
The demographic dividend will also gradually show its great power in promoting the economy.
This is the starting gun for which all private capital should be ecstatic. The great era of gold mining in the city has begun!
Needless to say, it is completely foreseeable that when a large number of people pour into the city, the first thing that will be affected is the price of real estate.
Because when people come, putting down roots is the most practical need.
In addition to eating, we also need to live.
To open a business, a house is needed as a business place.
Driven by this kind of demand, how can house prices and rents not rise?
What's more, when outsiders come to Beijing, the two lives of people and land are the fat on the table.
And "bullying students" is a common trick of businessmen, and they can ask for exorbitant prices.
As a speculator, Ning Weimin certainly knows best what will happen in a real estate market with skyrocketing demand.
He estimated that it was only a year and a half later than now. These house bugs were too lazy to talk to the people in the capital anymore. They must be specializing in business for foreign merchants.
At that time, if he wants to buy a house again, the price he will pay will be huge.
At least you have to do a few more somersaults than you do now.
So, it’s better to come early than to come late.
He was actually able to learn the secrets of public housing transactions before outsiders entered the city.
Didn’t this mean that he was just in time? Can you say it's not luck?
No, just when Director Wei was busy with the house inspection and paying for it, he had already started running to the housing exchange station.
Not to mention, what he learned was really good.
At this time, almost all the people looking for houses at the housing exchange station are working-class people, ordinary people.
Either because of housing shortage, or because of family disputes and eager to find a house to live in, or because of marriage and waiting for a house...
Anyway, these are rigid and normal needs.
In a word, due to the limited financial resources of the demand side, the overall transaction price of houses has been sluggish.
A one-bedroom apartment only costs three to four thousand yuan.
A two-bedroom apartment is almost five to six thousand.
Because the third house is rare, it is higher, and the one who gets 18,000 yuan.
And this is still a unit. If it is a tube building or a simple building, the price will have to go down.
