Chapter Five Hundred and Thirty Never Seen Such a Cross
Chapter 530: I've never seen such a arrogant person
Wang Cailing went home from the school in advance today. Zhang Ke picked up Liang Wenjiang into the car on Qingxu Road. Liang Wenjiang held the two bottles of wine in his hand in his arms and said in embarrassment: "These two bottles of wine are too expensive. Isn't it a bit bad to take them over?"
Zhang Ke looked at Liang Wenjiang's cautious look as if he was afraid of knocking over the bottle, so he took it over and put it under his feet, saying, "You go to see your future father-in-law and take two bottles of Xi'an local wine at will. If you have the best intentions, your future father-in-law will be happy. I'm a formal visit, and I can't lose my intentions..." Zhang Ke pointed the wine in front of his feet with his toes, "There is no need to be sold in the market. Do you know how much this wine costs a bottle?"
"You asked me to go to the Yunchi Wine Industry office to get the wine. The person in the office told me that the wine has not been launched yet and the output is too small. At present, it is only a gift wine office that is less stored. The vice president in charge of sales called him in person and gave us two bottles. It would cost at least a thousand yuan per bottle on the market. Cailing's father would not accept such expensive gifts..."
"It's not that mysterious," Zhang Ke smiled proudly. It's not that he called Kong Changhe and wanted to send out these two bottles of wine that were not sold. "The cost is only 100 yuan. My father started Yunchi Wine Industry, so they had no choice but to collect the cost price from me. I'll go to Xinwu another day and throw the two hundred yuan into their boss's hands to see if they have the face to collect my money..."
"The cost is 100 yuan, but it costs 1,000 yuan," Liang Wenjiang patted his head incomprehensible, "How do you sell this wine to others..."
"It's just a bead when buying a box," Zhang Ke smiled. "You can't unpack it now. When you arrive at your father-in-law's house, you will take the wine out to drink it when you drink. Unpack it, and you will understand at a glance..."
The key is that Wu Qili's driver drove them, and Zhang Ke couldn't let Wu Qili's driver know too much about what he shouldn't have known.
When he arrived at the entrance of Zijingyuan Community in Xizhimen, Zhang Ke and his cousin Liang Wenjiang got out of the car with wine and asked Wu Qili's driver to drive the car back.
Zhang Ke and Liang Wenjiang stood at the entrance of the community. It can be seen that this should be the early high-end commercial housing community in Beijing. Wang Cailing's parents were both officials of the Ministry of Posts and Telecommunications. Liang Wenjiang said that Wang Cailing's parents were both honest technical officials, and it was impossible to pay for the commercial housing to live on their own. The Ministry of Posts and Telecommunications should give them welfare housing. He asked Liang Wenjiang in surprise: "How is your father-in-law living here?"
"Oh, the Ministry of Posts and Telecommunications purchased a high-rise apartment last fall and distributed it to officials in their ministries and commissions. Cailing's family just happened to have another set..."
"Another set? It seems wrong..." Zhang Ke frowned and thought of some other flavor.
"Why is it wrong? The treatment of the Ministry of Posts and Telecommunications is indeed enviable..."
The housing prices in Beijing were not so high in the early spring of 1997. High-end communities like Zijingyuan were only 8,000. It is not an out-of-reach dream for Quanteng Online, such as Liang Wenjiang and others, to buy a house in Zijingyuan.
"Ministry and commission welfare housing allocation is usually funded and built by self-built. The ministries and commissions have great authority, and it is very convenient to acquire land from Beijing. Build high-end communities by themselves and save land costs. This is a huge expense. There is no need to buy commercial housing at a high price as a welfare allocation housing..." Zhang Ke explained to Liang Wenjiang, "But this situation illustrates a problem..."
“What’s the problem?”
"I heard that Vice Premier Zhao Jidong proposed to abolish the welfare housing distribution system for personnel of government agencies, enterprises and institutions, and change it to a policy of monetary subsidy. I think before the time limit for the welfare housing distribution system was cancelled, officials from certain central ministries and commissions would also concentrate on a surprise allocation of a batch of welfare housing for their own welfare. They did not have time to raise funds to acquire land for their own construction, so they could only buy commercial housing and pay it out..." Zhang Ke patted his head and said, "It seems that in a few months, Beijing's housing prices will rise sharply..."
"How much can it increase?" Liang Wenjiang was a little stubborn. He was not a pure nerd and had some knowledge of the economy, but he could not understand why Zhang Ke had to draw such a conclusion.
Zhang Ke just smiled and didn't tell Liang Wenjiang in detail.
In Liang Wenjiang's view, even if the ministries and commissions are going to launch a large-scale house purchase and distribution, so that all their officials can catch the last bus for welfare housing distribution, the funds will have to be raised by themselves. Besides, most officials already have housing in Beijing, and if they attack, they can hit the target amount of demand.
Zhang Ke remembered that Beijing's housing prices rose sharply in 1997, which was very puzzled by people with pure market theory, because at that time, only the deadline for abolishing the welfare housing distribution system was determined, but it had not been changed to monetary subsidy.
Before the time limit for the welfare housing distribution system was abolished, a few officials from ministries and commissions misappropriated fiscal budget funds to purchase commercial housing and distributed it to subordinate officials for welfare and utilization, which suddenly pushed up Beijing's housing prices in the autumn and winter of 1997.
A few leaders of ministries, commissions, departments and bureaus have all solved their houses in this special period, and even their personal houses in this special period.
Of course, this is just a very special phenomenon. Even if it is a bit exaggerated, it is in line with the personnel and welfare housing distribution policy of government agencies, enterprises and institutions at that time.
Zhang Ke stood at the entrance of Zijingyuan Community and sighed. Even though he knew clearly that Beijing's housing prices would rise sharply in 1997, he just sighed a few times. I hope that this market dynamics will soon disappear in the long river of history and never remember it for others.
“Bao…”
Zhang Ke was looking at the towering high-rise apartment and sighing. The harsh sound of car horns came beside him. He was startled. He turned his head and saw a black Buick turning into the corridor of the community without slowing down. Liang Wenjiang didn't pay attention and scraped the reflector with his right hand. The two bottles of wine in his hand fell to the ground. He staggered and almost fell.
"Is it okay..." Zhang Ke helped Liang Wenjiang.
"It's okay." Liang Wenjiang rubbed his scraped elbow, and two bottles of wine fell to the ground, and the wine overflowed from the packaging box. The car stopped in front, and Zhang Ke was still waiting for the people in the car to come down to apologize. Unexpectedly, a head emerged from the driver's seat, with a greasy head and a powdery face. He pointed at them and cursed: "There are dead people in the family, and you are here to charge the tablet!"
Zhang Ke knew that there were some arrogant people in Beijing, but he had never seen such a arrogant person. He cursed and pointed at the man's face, "You have the will to get out of the car..." He picked up two bottles of wine, broke a bottle, and smashed the broken bottle and the packaging box at the head of the person who had crawled out of the car window.
The man's head swayed and hid, and Zhang Ke was not willing to smash the second bottle. It was not because he felt sorry for the money. After that, he would have to go to the door empty-handed and bent down to find the brick.
There was a man sitting in the car and saw something more horizontal. He didn't say a word. The driver's head was retracted back into the car, and he didn't have the courage to push the door and get out of the car to get a train. He started the car and went into the community.
The security guard in the guard room at the entrance of the community saw a dispute here, and waited for the car to drive away before coming over, loudly condemning the people who drove for being immoral.
Zhang Ke didn't say anything. The car rushed into the community without slowing down, so they should come out to manage it. It was also difficult for them to rush in. It was a black-branded Buick just now. Who knows who was sitting inside? The security guards in the community dared not have disputes with these people. It was already good to come out and share the same hatred for the enemy.
Zhang Ke was sure that Liang Wenjiang's hand was not scratched, the packaging box was very tight, and the broken wine bottles were not dispersed. He picked it up and threw it into the trash can, and claimed that he was unlucky and walked towards the high-rise apartment where Wang Cailing's house was.
Liang Wenjiang was blind in the direction, and had been here three times and was still in the wrong way. He could only blame the high-rise apartment here for being too similar, and the building numbers seemed to be a bit messy. After walking twice, he arrived at the building of Wang Cailing's house. The black black-platform Buick happened to be parked in front of the building.
Zhang Ke looked around and saw that there were no cameras or CCTV installed on the left and right, so he picked up a small piece of broken brick from the corner. Liang Wenjiang was afraid of causing trouble and said, "Forget it."
This building is full of officials from the Ministry of Posts and Telecommunications. Senior officials at the ministerial level have special residences. At most, officials from department departments live here. Drivers of senior officials at the ministerial level are generally low-key. For example, the current drivers of Xu Xueping and his secretary know the right position. They are not so arrogant. Such drivers are simply causing trouble for the owner. Speaking of which, if the drivers are so arrogant, the owner must not be a good person. Zhang Ke has never been afraid of anyone in this role.
"What are you afraid of? Who can they catch? When we leave at night, let Uncle Xu's car pick it up. I'm not uncommon for such people. Nowadays, when people are walking sideways, they have to break their feet first so that ordinary people can suffer less grievances!" Zhang Ke smiled and asked Liang Wenjiang to stare on the side of the road to see if anyone came over. He used a sharp corner of the broken brick to shatter the sides of the black Buick, and was beyond recognition. The two people in the car could probably cry when they saw the car like this. Zhang Ke admired his masterpiece with satisfaction. Liang Wenjiang smiled bitterly, but just urged him to go into the building quickly, for fear that it would be difficult to deal with it.
Zijingyuan Community is really a high-end residential area. It used the visual access control system in 1997. Even ten years later, ordinary people still regarded this thing as fresh goods. Wang Cailing controlled the access control system at her home before turning on the elevator. Zhang Ke and Liang Wenjiang took the elevator to the twelfth floor. Wang Cailing stood at the door with an apron and waited for them, and turned around and called his father: "Dad, Wen Jiang and his cousin are here..." Liang Wenjiang saw three men walking to the door to greet him. Seeing a young man behind his future father-in-law, he turned his head in shock and looked at Zhang Ke: it was the driver who had just popped his head from the black Buick car!
