Dreaming back to 1949, the great powers were there to deceive us

$ 6.3 billion.

This is the cost for Western capital to hold real estate in Shanghai.

Hu Zhenhua doesn't care whether this number is inflated or not. What he cares about is that TA company has obtained a large amount of liquid cash. Three years later, this money may become 20 billion, 30 billion, or even more.

In a joyful and peaceful atmosphere, the two parties signed the contract.

The foreigners were very fond of Hu Zhenhua, but in their hearts there were two words: idiot.

Doubled in three years, are you kidding?

Money is not so easy to make, especially in a country like Japan that is in ruins.

Why is Western capital unwilling to go?

Prejudice is one aspect, but more importantly, the initial development costs are too high.

Investment requires supporting facilities, such as water, electricity, roads, and level land, commonly known as "three connections and one leveling".

If it is a special industry, ventilation and communication are also required, commonly known as "five connections and one leveling".

If the investment is in manufacturing, supporting industries are also needed.

Japan is in ruins and everything has to be purchased from abroad, and the investment cost is frighteningly high.

Double the profit in three years!

If you can achieve profitability within three years, it will be with God's blessing!!

If Hu Zhenhua fails to pay the house price and repay the loan as agreed when due, then Riqi Commercial will become a possession of Western capital.

Hu Zhenhua was polite to the foreigners, but in his heart there were only two words: idiot!

After I finish harvesting the leeks in Shanghai, I will continue harvesting them in your own country.

And he used the sickle you handed over to him!

After the agreement was signed, Hu Zhenhua began to prepare to exchange real estate for raw materials.

This work is extremely tedious!

There is an old saying: If you want to get something, you must first give it.

If you want to exchange the raw materials in the hands of the people, you must let them see real benefits!

And it’s an offer that’s hard to refuse!

Early in the morning of May 5, Hao San was still sleeping when the gate of the courtyard suddenly made a slamming sound. Hao San didn't take it seriously, turned over and continued to sleep.

The market has been in a mess recently, with people seeking donations everywhere. Hao San doesn't plan to go out again, otherwise the hard-earned money will not be enough to be extorted by the fundraising team.

Hao San's wife quickly put on her clothes, muttering,

"Here I come, knock gently, the door is about to fall apart!"

Hao San's wife opened the door, saw someone coming, turned around and shouted,

"Boss, get up quickly, Mr. Guo is here!"

Mr. Guo was holding a newspaper and laughing.

"Hao San's wife, good times are coming for your family! The Mokai District is going to implement a home ownership program! Your family fully meets the requirements!"

As he was speaking, Hao San had already put on his clothes. He led Mr. Guo into the courtyard and said with a simple smile,

"Mr. Guo, what does it mean to have a home?"

It wasn't that Hao San didn't want to invite Mr. Guo into the main room, but there was really no room in the room because all the pig iron he bought was piled up inside.

Mr. Guo spread out the newspaper and read,

"When it comes to buying a house, don't be misled by others. Buy it within your means! Having a home is a necessity in life. The warmth of a home lies in its careful construction, not in flowery words. Even a thousand beautiful words are not as good as having a house.

The Mokai District Management Committee feels that people’s survival is not easy and cannot bear to see the loss of hoarding raw materials. It is now purchasing them at a high price, but the following conditions must be met: 1. Those who do not own a property and are interested in buying a house; 2. Those who hoard raw materials, the proceeds from the sale should be enough to pay for the house!

Mr. Guo pointed to the price details in the newspaper and said excitedly,

"The purchase price of iron ingots in the Magic Development Zone is 35 dollars per piece. Hao San, with the number of iron ingots you hold, it's enough to buy a large courtyard. From now on, you will also be a property owner!"

The capital 35 in the newspaper is so eye-catching.

Hao San took the newspaper, lay over it, and began to read it intermittently. Mr. Guo was beside him and would point out a few words when he came across one he didn't know.

Hao San repeated it six or seven times before he could read it fluently!

He held Guo Xianshang's hand, tears filling his eyes.

Hao Sanyi had a total of 72 iron ingots. If they were sold at a price of 35, that would be 2520 silver dollars.

It’s more than enough to buy a small courtyard like the one at No. 75 Sinan Lane.

When Hao San bought these iron coins, the average price was no more than ten yuan. In just a few days, the price tripled or quadrupled.

What a huge profit!

Hao San wiped his tears and asked,

"Mr. Guo, you've accumulated a lot of iron ingots. Do you want to buy a house of your own?"

The old man adjusted his reading glasses and said with a smile,

"This is a rare opportunity, so of course I have to buy one! The properties in the Mokai District are being sold at cost price. If I miss this opportunity, I'm afraid I'll regret it for the rest of my life."

Hao San was very confused and asked,

"Mr. Guo, what is the cost price?"

“That’s the land price for a house like this, plus the construction cost.”

Although Hao San's mind was not very bright, he realized that something was wrong and asked

"That's not right. The housing price has already fallen below the cost. If we buy at the cost price, won't we lose money?"

Master Guo laughed.

"Hao San, I can tell you slept too soundly last night. In the second half of the night, the real estate market completely reversed, and housing prices rose sharply. The fact that the Magic Development Zone was sold to us at cost price is a complete discount!"

The real estate reversal was naturally the work of Hu Zhenhua.

He boosted the real estate by transferring it from his left hand to his right hand.

During this process, some officials, businessmen and gentry wanted to take the opportunity to sell their houses, but no one was willing to take over their houses. The reasons they gave were very convincing: they just didn't like them!

That's right, I just don't like your house.

Hu Zhenhua is not here to take over, so how could he possibly take over their properties!

Therefore, a very strange phenomenon has emerged in the real estate listings: those with high listing prices are easily sold, while those with discounts are ignored!

Sometimes, the prices of two adjacent buildings can be very different.

After listening to Mr. Guo's explanation, Hao San opened his mouth wide, feeling that he had missed out on hundreds of millions again.

His family still has some savings, and if he had bought at a low price yesterday, he could have bought a smaller yard.

He originally thought that housing prices would continue to fall and wanted to wait a little longer.

By waiting, the opportunity is gone!

Don’t be too greedy!

This is the conclusion Hao San came to!

The bad nature of human beings: when buying something, they hope that it is cheap and free; when selling something, they hope that the price will skyrocket!

Especially in the stock market, it is even more obvious!

Hao Sanyi gritted his teeth, stamped his feet, and shouted,

"Buy it. I'm going to buy a small courtyard this time!"

Hao San drove his motorcycle tricycle and went out happily with his wife and neighbors.

According to the process, they must first go to the community to obtain a certificate of no house.

It wasn't just Hao San's alley that got the news early in the morning; the community was already packed with people.

The proof requires you to provide your current residence, the number of people in your family, what you do, where your children go to school, and a guarantor from a respected person in the alley.

In short, the process is very rigorous.

After getting the certificate, Hao San began to wander around the blocks.

All properties for sale are marked with a red card with information such as area and price. If anyone is interested in the house, they can contact the nearest staff to make the transaction!

On the street, a propaganda car with a loudspeaker was moving slowly forward.

"Please note that this Home Ownership Scheme is targeted at ordinary working people. Residents who own property should not try to get away with it. If discovered, your property will be confiscated."

"Attention, fellow citizens! If you find unqualified individuals taking advantage, please report them. Every time they steal a house, you have one less option. This is a matter of vital interest to everyone. Fellow citizens, please be brave and stand up and report them!"

Hao San felt more at ease.

From the time I was born until now, it seemed like nothing good could happen to me. But recently, for some reason, my luck has turned around.

What Hao San didn't know was that the more something is forbidden, the more people will take risks!

Many people have already forged certificates of not owning a house in an attempt to get a bargain.

The dark clouds of war seemed to disappear in an instant.

Soon, Guo Xianshang chose a suite in a seven-story building, which was about 70 square meters in size.

Since Hao San had to park his tricycle, he chose a two-story building with a courtyard.

Everything went smoothly, but there was a little trouble with the payment.

The iron ingots were first transported to the raw material storage point. After inspection, the staff opened a passbook for Hao San, which specifically stated that the money could only be used to purchase real estate and could not be used for other purposes. Otherwise, it would be a breach of contract and the money would be frozen!

After Hao San got the deposit certificate, he went to the bank to make the handover and apply for the real estate certificate!

After waiting in line for most of the day, Hao San finally got the property certificate. He felt incredible and asked,

"Mr. Guo, isn't it said that only people without houses can enjoy the discount? Why didn't they ask for my proof of not owning a house? How did they know we don't have a house?"

This question really stumped Master Guo.

"Yeah, how did they know?"

Before Master Guo had time to think about this question, Hao San interrupted him.

"I just saw Boss Xu. He was clearly reported, but how did he still get the property certificate? This doesn't make sense!"

"where is it?"

Hao San pointed casually.

It’s indeed Boss Xu!

Mr. Guo calmed down and reviewed the whole process. He had a rough idea in his mind.

This is a conspiracy, equivalent to selling real estate at 70% off.

It’s just that they play it very cleverly, making you feel like you’ve gotten a great deal!

After Mr. Guo figured out the key, he was not too frustrated.

It's a great bargain to snap up a property at such a cheap price.

"Mr. Guo, I decided to move today. What about you?"

Master Guo stroked his goat beard, in a good mood, and said with a smile,

"I'll move two days later. I've developed feelings for the old alley. Let me take a closer look at it!"

Hao San didn't have this sentiment. He curled his lips and said,

"It's not my own house, so what's there to see? I have to pay for an extra day's rent if I stay there for one day."

Master Guo shook his head and said nothing more.

Birds of a feather flock together. Mr. Guo and Hao San are not from the same world.

After this move, I'm afraid it will be difficult for us to meet again.

After returning to the alley, Master Guo decided to treat Hao San's family to a meal. It was Hao San who started the hoarding of iron ingots. As the saying goes, one should remember the person who dug the well when drinking water.

At the entrance of the alley, they met their neighbors. They were sitting together, eating melon seeds and chatting.

The leader was called Feng Kui, who greeted Hao San and Master Guo in a sarcastic tone.

"San'er, Mr. Guo, have you responded to the government's call and bought a house?"

This Feng Kui is the small boss who grinds gaskets in the alley.

Mr. Guo bowed to him.

"It's Boss Feng. We ordinary people always need a place to shelter from the wind and rain."

Feng Kui stood up to return the greeting. Facing Master Guo, he did not dare to be too presumptuous.

"Master, you might have been fooled. How can the authorities be so kind? They would care about the lives of ordinary people! I just looked around and found that as long as someone wants to buy a house, they will sell it without even checking the certificate of no ownership. I suspect they are setting up a scheme to sell off the property."

Hao San suddenly became nervous.

Did I fall into the trap again?

Mr. Guo was unmoved and said with a smile,

"Whether it's true or not, I got what I wanted. I exchanged a few iron ingots for a house. What else can I be dissatisfied with?"

Hao San felt a little better.

Yes, it’s not a loss to buy a house anyway. No matter who wins the world, we ordinary people have to live as usual.

Feng Kui wanted to ridicule Hao San, but he was so shocked by what Mr. Guo said that he didn't know how to refute him. He just stood there and smiled foolishly.

After they all left, Feng Kui sneered,

"Smiling on the outside, but crying in the heart, how pitiful!"

Less than a day had passed since he gloated over his misfortune when the municipal government suddenly issued a notice to crack down on hoarding. Anyone hoarding war supplies such as copper, iron, aluminum, lead, zinc, and rubber would be arrested and the hoarded supplies would be confiscated.

Feng Kui was dumbfounded. He also had a lot of iron ingots stored in his home.

what can we do about it?

You can only buy a house!

When he went to the real estate market, he felt even worse.

The price of iron ingots has dropped to 30 yuan per piece, and the discounts on houses are not that big. After two days of sales, the good houses have basically been picked up.

Feng Kui gritted his teeth and picked out a satisfactory house, and quickly exchanged the raw materials.

"damned!"

At this moment, Hu Zhenhua, who was cursed by Feng Kui, was meditating.

He didn't want to use such rogue means, but there was no shortage of smart people in this world.

After the routine was exposed, the number of people changing rooms decreased significantly.

This operation requires too many people, and there will always be problems in some links.

Hu Zhenhua didn't necessarily want to plunder the raw materials from them, but he was worried that the authorities would forcibly requisition them, which might result in casualties!

Old Hu had no choice but to resort to this desperate measure!

Inhumane!
