Chapter 1971, it's different after seeing the world (1)
Chengdu, Sichuan.
Following the policies promulgated by the imperial court, a large number of factories, workshops, businesses, etc. invested here, making the entire Chengdu prosperous and lively.
Factories are springing up everywhere, high-rise buildings are being built continuously, and roads connect all directions, making this ancient city of Chengdu noisy and lively.
In a real estate opened by Jingcheng Real Estate, the four brothers of the Wei family are working and discussing the thirty-two years of Hongzhi that are about to pass.
The Chinese New Year is coming soon, and the commercial banks have already issued holiday announcements for the Chinese New Year. During the entire Chinese New Year period, we can take almost half a month off.
The four brothers had made money and were eager to go home and have fun.
"We have a holiday in a few days, and I can finally go home."
Wei Jin was very excited and felt very happy when he thought of going home. He had been here for five months in Chengdu, building cement roads and building houses. His life was very solid and time passed very quickly.
Before I knew it, the Chinese New Year was coming soon.
"Fourth child, are you particularly homesick?"
The boss, Wei Huo, immediately asked with a smile.
"Well, I can't wait to go back right now."
Wei Jin nodded and said, "Let's see who dares to look down on us four brothers this time. When we go home, we will build the most beautiful house in the village and marry a beautiful girl."
"Haha~"
When his three brothers heard this, they couldn't help laughing.
"No matter how nice the house inside our home is, it's not as good as the house outside."
"Look at how beautifully built this house is, and it's made of reinforced concrete. It's so strong. Also, this community has running water and electricity."
"There are schools and commercial districts nearby. It's comfortable to live in a house like this. I don't want to go home and build a house now. It would be great if I could buy a house in the city."
When Wei Tie thought about the house, he also took a fancy to the house he was building in front of him. Although it has not been completely built yet, it can already be seen that these houses are well planned, beautifully designed, and have excellent supporting facilities.
There are supporting new schools here, there are hospitals nearby, and there are also commercial blocks, squares, etc., all the supporting facilities are there. Although they can't see much now, as participants, they know that this place will definitely be very popular in the future.
Not bad.
"The houses here are good and beautiful."
"But the houses here are too expensive. The cheapest one costs more than 300 taels of silver. How can we afford it? It's hard to sell the house without seeing it?"
"Even the rich people here in Chengdu say that this house is too expensive. A better courtyard house in Chengdu only costs a few hundred taels of silver. This kind of building, which has no ceiling and no floor, costs a few hundred taels of silver. It is really too expensive."
Already."
"Third brother, let's forget it. We can go home and build a house and marry a wife. We can still live like this. There is no need to buy a house in the city."
When the boss Wei Huo heard this, he immediately shook his head and said.
"Yes, third child~"
"This house is too expensive, and it hasn't been built yet. Who knows what it will look like after it's built, and whether it will be as advertised."
"Besides, we don't even have land in this city. If we can't work anymore, how will we make a living in the future?"
Wei Qing, the second oldest, also followed suit.
"But Supervisor Wang told me that this house will definitely rise in the future. There will be more and more people in Chengdu. If we don't buy a house now, we will not be able to afford it in the future."
"It's cheap now. You only need to pay 20% of the down payment, and you can pay off the rest of the bank loan slowly in the future."
"I don't think Manager Wang will lie to us, because he comes from a big city in the Beijing-Tianjin area. He is a well-connected person. They say that a house in the Beijing-Tianjin area already costs two to three thousand taels of silver."
"He told me that if I have money, I should buy a house in Chengdu first so that I can live more comfortably in the city."
Wei Tie thought for a while and said.
"Director Wang is Director Wang. He earns dozens of taels of silver a month, so there is definitely no pressure to buy a house, but we are different."
"How can we afford such an expensive house after working so hard to earn some money?"
The boss, Wei Huo, shook his head and said.
"But I want to buy it. I have taken a fancy to a set. It only costs 300 taels of silver. I have 30 taels of silver on hand now, and I can get a few taels of silver bonus before the Chinese New Year."
"The down payment is 2 yuan, which is 60 taels of silver. Each of you three will lend me 10 taels of silver. I will pay you back next year and the next two years."
Wei Tie was determined to buy a house in this city, and he had to borrow money from his brothers and a bank loan. He just wanted to buy a house in this city and put down roots.
"Third brother, why don't you obey me?"
"Are we in the city?"
"Yes, let's go home and build a new house. When the time comes, the four brothers will build it together. Together, we will build this reinforced concrete house and a three-story building. How beautiful it will be."
"Third brother, it's better not to give it up. You still need a bank loan, and you have to pay back the mortgage for the next thirty years. You have to pay back more than 1 tael of silver every month. It's too stressful."
"What we rural people fear most is debt. In the past, some people were forced to death by debtors. Are there still many people who sell their sons and daughters?"
"Yeah, yeah, but you can't get a loan."
When the three brothers heard this, they immediately continued to persuade.
"I feel like I don't want to go back to the countryside to live. I've had enough of that kind of life with my face facing the loess and my back turned to the sky."
"You work so hard to farm, but you can't even eat meat a few times a year."
"And now there are many factories, businesses, and workshops in this city. You can find a job anywhere."
"A mortgage of more than 1 tael per month is nothing. If you earn money, you can pay off some in advance. With our current income, it is completely affordable."
"The most important thing is that there is a school next to it. None of us have gone to school. I don't want my children to be able to go to school in the future."
"You must help me."
Wei Tie thought for a while and said very firmly.
He was determined to buy a house in this city because he felt that Supervisor Wang would not lie to him. He had also heard some people talking about this house, saying that houses in the Beijing-Tianjin area were now very expensive.
It was so cheap at that time, so cheap, if I had bought it at that time, I would have made a lot of money.
"Hey, it's up to you."
"You've already spoken, why don't we help?"
The boss, Wei Huo, saw that Wei Tie was determined and had no choice but to vaguely feel that what Wei Tie said actually made sense.
After staying in this city for a few months, everyone has actually gotten used to it and feels that life in the city is quite good.
Life is very convenient, the water is tap water, and it comes as soon as the switch is turned on.
Moreover, there is electricity in the store. When the switch is turned on at night, it is very bright and very convenient. There is also an electric fan when it is hot.
Life in this city is also simple. You can work for 6 days and have one day off. When you are at home, you are busy all year round.
If I have any plans for next year, there is no doubt that I will continue to work in the city and continue to work for the trading company.
"Yes, if you want to buy it, we will help you."
"It's just that if you buy a house, you won't be able to build a new house when you return home."
"It's okay. I've bought a house in the city. Let's talk about my hometown later."
With the support of his brothers, Wei Tie also decisively used his savings to buy the cheapest house here in Jingcheng Real Estate where he works. The area is only 140 square meters, but it has five rooms. It will not be until the middle of next year.
Just handed over the house.
Because he is an employee of his own bank, the bank gave him a discount of 10 taels, so it only cost 290 taels, with a down payment of 20%, a 30-year loan, and monthly repayments of 1.3 taels.
After buying a house and getting the house purchase certificate and deed, Wei Tie was scolded by the three brothers again, saying that it was not worthwhile to exchange for these pieces of paper after working hard for more than half a year, and the house would not be until June next year.
The house was handed over at the right time. This firm is really smart and knows how to do business. It uses everyone's money to do things. No wonder the house is not easy to sell. It is too expensive to sell. The house will not be handed over until next year. It is really good at calculating. Only Wei Tie
Only such a fool would buy it.
A few days later, the commercial bank officially opened its annual holiday.
The four brothers of the Wei family happily received another year-end bonus and some new year's goods. They had no intention of staying in Chengdu for a moment longer, and happily embarked on the journey back to their hometown.
A few days later, here in Weijia Village.
Because the Chinese New Year is coming soon, although the entire Weijia Village is poor, it is beginning to feel a little bit like the New Year. Some families who are willing to spend a few coins will buy a couplets to post on their doorsteps.
Those with better conditions have already purchased new clothes and new shoes for their children.
Now that the Ming Dynasty's industry has developed, the price of cloth has been very low, and the prices of clothes and shoes are also very cheap. You can buy a piece of clothing and trousers for a hundred yuan, and you can buy good cotton clothes for a few hundred yuan.
Cotton pants or woolen sweaters are very warm when worn in winter.
"Did you hear that?"
"The horse-faced monkey is getting married."
"Is it true? Who would marry a horse-faced monkey? With his family's conditions, who else would marry him?"
"Don't believe it. Although this horse-faced monkey is not very good-looking, he has two sisters. One got a gift of 10 taels of silver when he got married, and the other was used in exchange for a marriage. That's why the horse-faced monkey
The monkey has a wife."
"Let me tell you, how did he get a wife with a horse-faced monkey? That's how it came about."
"Isn't that right? It's not very popular to change marriages now. If Horse-faced Monkey didn't have two younger sisters, it wouldn't be his turn to change marriages."
"That's the good thing about those who have older sisters. At least they can exchange marriages. Those of us who don't have older sisters will have to be singles for the rest of our lives."
"No, this bachelor is probably determined."
"Wei Tie, Wei Huo and the other four brothers haven't come back for the Chinese New Year. Could it be that something happened outside?"
"Maybe I don't have the nerve to come back and meet people. How many taels of silver a month do I have? It's like pie in the sky."
"That's right, how can such a good thing happen and it also includes food and accommodation?"
"That is to say, their parents will believe what they say. Who would believe it? There may not even be a place to shelter from the wind and rain outside."
"But I've also heard that some people do make money by going to Chengdu to work. I heard that there is indeed a need for many people now."
"Don't believe this. The only serious thing is to farm the land honestly at home and save more money to marry a wife."
"That's right~"
