Chapter 141 Buying a house
Huang Shi didn't expect that he would have a second career spring in his forties. He originally just hoped to sit down as the director of the Sixty-fourth Institute safely, but who would have thought that his superiors really had such great courage and sold the Sixty-fourth Institute to Zhou Shuo.
As for Zhou Shuo's poaching of the Sixty-fourth Institute, he was not so angry that he was infringed on the authority of the Director, but rather envious of those people's treatment.
What are the directors of the Sixty-fourth Institute? The above funds are insufficient, the equipment is poorly maintained, and the staff are all over the world. Who knows how much pressure is?
Look at the researchers poached by Zhou Shuo. Not only do we double our basic salary, we also have overtime pay during holidays, we also have overtime pay, we also have a completion award for projects in advance, and we also have a bonus for research projects...
With these messy subsidies, it is normal for researchers to earn three or four times higher than their salary in the 64th Institute to be killed. Unfortunately, Huang Shi’s own level is too high, and even if he surrenders to Zhou Shuo, he may not have a place to settle himself.
Who would have thought that Zhou Shuo mentioned the two choices, the above actually agreed to the one with the least hope. The entire package of the sixty-four institutes became the Fanhan Research Institute under the Fanhan Group. He, the director of the Sixty-four institutes, transformed into the president of the Fanhan Research Institute. From a professional who had a meal but had no meals, he became a high-paying person with a monthly salary of more than 5,000 yuan. How could he not be radiant in such a change?
Although no one competed with Zhou Shuo at all, the cost of acquiring the Sixty-four institutes was still as high as 20 million yuan. Fortunately, the Science and Technology Commission considered that the Empression City was seeking a software park project and agreed that the money could be delayed for one year. Even so, his investment in the transformation of the Sixty-four institutes was still quite large.
After settling Qiujun and his development team, Zhou Shuo and Huangshi said as they walked in the corridor of the dimly lit tube building.
"The Panhan Research Institute inherited nearly 300 employees from the 64th Institute, and at least 80 of these people live in the staff dormitories. Qiu Jun brought a project team this time, which is nearly 100. However, the staff's dormitories are old buildings in the 1960s and 1970s, and they are very old and old. In addition, the financial situation in the institute was not abundant in recent years, and it has not been divided into houses for employees for a long time. Many people live together for three generations of grandparents and grandchildren, or even four generations."
Zhou Shuo looked at the specific environment in the dormitory and couldn't help but frown. The situation here is indeed not optimistic. There is neither a kitchen nor a toilet in the tube building, and three or four young men are crowded in a single room of twenty square meters. The environment is simple and hygienic. It's okay to have a low temperature in winter, but the temperature rises in summer, and the air is not circulating and various mosquitoes are breeding. It's very challenging for people to be willing.
He asked Huang Shi: "The conditions are too simple. Can you buy a batch of commercial housing from the market and improve it for everyone?"
In the mid-1990s, the commercial housing market in Xiucheng had gradually developed, but citizens mainly rely on units to improve housing conditions to separate houses. A welfare housing may only cost 20,000 yuan to 30,000 yuan, but the commercial housing on the market must be increased by two or three times. Even so, in Zhou Shuo's opinion, a house only costs no more than 100,000 yuan, which is similar to free-to-play.
At this time, commercial housing mainly supplies self-employed individuals who made money in small businesses in their early years. Some employees of the unit were still looking forward to the welfare of the unit's distribution of houses. These people went to the industry to make money early and get rich quickly, and their desire to improve housing conditions became stronger. Developers adapted to market demand and built good houses with 70 to 80 square meters, with toilets and kitchens. Only when the unit raised funds to divide houses would they build small apartments to take care of as many employees as possible.
It can be said that welfare housing and commercial housing are completely different markets at this time.
Huang Shi thought for a while and nodded and said, "It just so happened that there was a commercial housing community near the institute that was being built, and there was still some money in the institute's account. Principal Zhou said, "It's better to make up a group purchase. But it's just that it's not the same. This is not easy to grasp. Since the institute has been transformed into Fanhan Research Institute, should it be divided according to professional title or qualification?"
Zhou Shuo touched his chin and thought for a while, and said, "If you just divide the houses for the research institute, it would be a bit more than the other. You have to add the group headquarters, Yiqigao and Huaguang Factory, and the keyboard factory. If you calculate this, you must have at least more than 300 houses."
Huang Shi was dizzy when he heard it beside him, and quickly waved his hand and said, "Principal Zhou, you are going to catch all the commercial housing in Xiucheng this year!"
Zhou Shuo was puzzled and said in confusion: "I think houses are being built everywhere in Xiucheng this year, at most, it is a little more expensive. Not too many houses for about 300, right?"
Huangshi calculated with his fingers: "If we say that there are indeed many houses built in our Xiucheng every year, most of them are welfare houses raised by units, and they will not be sold on the market at all. In fact, there are only three or four commercial housing communities under construction in a year. If you deduct the sold and reserved ones, it would be good to have 100 existing houses. More than 300 houses, and a building of twenty households will cost fifteen to twenty buildings. Don't say whether we can buy them or not. Even if we really get all together, the Xiucheng housing market will have to have a major earthquake!"
Zhou Shuo was stunned. Then he realized that he had become sick again and used his experience in his later generations to build it. After twenty years, the 300 houses were left unstoppable in the market. However, in Xiucheng in 1995, it was a big order that could bring about the entire real estate market.
"But later, the Fanhan Research Institute will have new personnel plans to be implemented one after another. Housing conditions will definitely become more and more tense, and it will not work if it is not improved." Zhou Shuo shook his head and said, "I will consider this matter again and see if there is any solution."
The two of them left the staff dormitory of 64, and Huangshi did not do this. No matter how bad the housing conditions are, they have been here for so many years. After the reform, everyone's income has increased considerably, and this difficulty can still be overcome.
Zhou Shuo came out of the Sixty-fourth Institute and drove a Cherokee back to a Vocational High School. He sat at his desk and thought about it. The key to this matter was the market reaction that would lead to a large number of existing houses. To solve this problem, I am afraid that we must communicate with the government.
He picked up the phone and thought about it. The ones he was more familiar with in the government were Yu Shunshui of the Science and Technology Commission, Wu Changgeng, secretary of the district party committee, He Xi, deputy mayor, and Changjiang Bridge.
This matter will definitely not work if you find Yu Shunshui. His Science and Technology Commission is still difficult to protect himself. Wu Changgeng, secretary of the district party committee, is a good candidate, but the urban areas of the Sixty-fourth Institute and Huaguang Factory belong to, may be a bit troublesome to coordinate. This matter may be more useful. He is the deputy mayor in charge of industry, and all factories in the city can speak. It is not impossible to get some welfare housing for each unit.
As for Jiang Daqiao, Zhou Shuo didn't think about it. He was also a big mayor. It was a waste to use such a thing to use his favors.
He Xi received a call from Zhou Shuo, and the three hundred houses were really scared. He quickly calmed Zhou Shuo and said, "Principal Zhou, don't take action first. I will coordinate with relevant units in the city to give you an opinion as soon as possible. In short, wait for my news, and the real estate market in Xiucheng can't resist such trouble!"
After Zhou Shuo swears to make a guarantee, He Xi allowed him to leave the phone. Thinking of this, he couldn't help but smile. One day he would become the culprit of rising housing prices.
The next day, the sun was getting late in winter, and Zhou Shuo arrived at the first vocational high school just after dawn. However, before he could enter the school gate, a car rushed up in the diagonal thorn.
Wu Changgeng got out of the car and laughed and said, "Principal Zhou really made me wait!"
Zhou Shuo was startled by him and looked at Wu Changgeng carefully. His nose was red and his face turned a little blue. It was obviously not because he happened to wait outside the school gate for a long time. However, when he looked at his expression, he smiled, obviously not as if he was wronged.
"Secretary Wu, please come in quickly. It's a cold day, what wind blows you?" Zhou Shuo quickly pulled Wu Changgeng into the office and poured him a cup of hot tea.
Wu Changgeng said straight to the point: "I heard that Principal Zhou wanted to buy a batch of houses to improve the housing conditions of the original Huaguang Factory employees?"
"There is such an arrangement." Zhou Shuo nodded and said, "But the number of things you want is a little larger. After communicating with the city, he is waiting for the news above."
"Hey, why don't you come to me directly?" Wu Changgeng said in a false anger: "Huaguang Factory is on the ground in our district, and the employees of Huaguang Factory are naturally the people under my jurisdiction. Isn't this my unshirkable responsibility to improve their housing conditions?"
Zhou Shuo's eyes lit up and he asked quickly: "Why, Secretary Wu, you have a house in your hand?"
"I have a house!" Wu Changgeng patted his chest and said, "Isn't it just three hundred houses? It just so happened that the district government built a batch of welfare houses this year, and there were more than sixty houses and could be collected. In addition, the streets below, bureau offices and enterprises and institutions, there is absolutely no problem with 300 houses!"
"Isn't this good?" Zhou Shuo hesitated and said: "The welfare housing of each unit was given to Fanhan Group. What should they do if their own house allocation plan?"
Wu Changgeng waved his hand and said heroically: "Hey, it's not that I won't give them any more. At worst, the houses for this year and next year will be allocated until next year."
Zhou Shuo didn't expect that Wu Changgeng was so easy to talk to, and smiled and said, "How can you be so embarrassed? Secretary Wu is really taking care of us too much."
He and Wu Changgeng were having fun talking, and suddenly heard a mess of footsteps coming from the corridor outside the door. The sound of footsteps was getting closer and closer, and a shout suddenly came from outside the door.
