At night.
At the Du residence.
During dinner, Shen Xuehua heard that Li Chengyuan and his wife had paid the deposit for the house. She could not help but look at Du Anmin.
Du Anmin smiled but did not say anything.
He understood the thoughts of Old Li and his wife.
In fact, from the beginning, Du Anmin did not agree with Shen Xuehua's decision.
Li Dong was not someone who lacked money. Shen Xuehua insisted on giving him a house. Those who knew clearly knew that she doted on her daughter, but those who did not know would think that something was wrong.
Since Old Li and his wife were not willing, Du Anmin did not care.
Du Anmin did not dwell on this matter. He casually chatted for a while and heard Cao Fang sigh about the expensive property prices in Beijing.
Du Anmin was about to say something when he heard Li Dong say with a smile, "Mom, it's not expensive yet. It's just getting started. According to statistics, the average property price in Beijing reached 13,000 yuan per square meter at the end of 2007. Not only did it not rise in 2008, but it also fell. The average price now is not much different from 2007. Just wait and see. In a few years, you will be able to earn tens of millions with this house. "
Cao Fang said in disbelief, "That can't be, right?"
Du Anmin's face also became serious. He looked at Li Dong and said, "It's a little exaggerated. The real estate market was not doing well in 2008. The government cut interest rates several times to stimulate the market, but the real estate market did not recover. There should be an increase, but tens of millions. Do you mean to double the increase? "
Li Dong laughed and said, "Double? Uncle Du, you are underestimating the real estate market. Beijing's property prices are now at a low point. The average price is only about 10,000 yuan. How much would it be if it doubled? According to the current trend, in less than ten years, if the average price is not more than 50,000 yuan, it would be looking down on Beijing. "
Du Anmin almost dropped the wine glass in his hand.
How much?
The average price was more than 50,000 yuan?
This was the average price in the entire Beijing area!
Didn't that mean that the inner ring would cost more than 100,000?!
As the leader of Beijing's economy, even if Du Anmin felt that Beijing's housing prices would continue to rise, he never thought it would rise to this extent.
It wasn't just him. The current government probably didn't think that such a day would come.
An increase of 10% or even 20% a year was within a controllable and predictable range.
However, according to Li Dong's plan, it would increase by at least four times in ten years. That would exceed the expectations of the relevant departments, experts, and everyone else.
Du Anmin's expression turned serious. He looked at Li Dong and said, "Are you serious?"
Li Dong smiled and said, "Uncle Du, don't look at me like that. This is just my own prediction.
The increase in housing prices was not just a problem for the government and the market.
There has always been a need. Coupled with the depreciation of the currency and the lack of investment channels, I don't think it's strange for such an increase to occur.
There were too many people in the country, and the proportion of urbanization was gradually increasing.
More and more people from the countryside were moving to the cities. This is an indisputable fact. With this foundation, there will be a need.
In addition, the country's economy is improving, and wages are higher. Life is better.
In the past, a family of three working for decades might not even be able to buy a house.
But these few years, as long as the family of three works hard and saves money, it is not difficult to make a down payment in three to five years in a third or fourth-tier city.
Coupled with the real estate developers and real estate speculators, it is not strange for the housing prices to rise a little. "
"But you are saying that it is not a problem of rising a little." Du Anmin frowned slightly.
Li Dong smiled and said, "Yes. All these reasons added together are not enough to cause such a big impact.
But Uncle Du, you are an understanding person. There are some things that can't be helped.
With the huge increase in housing costs, the real estate developers also need to make money.
Let's not talk about other things. Do you know how much the land transfer fee and all kinds of taxes account for in the cost of housing?
It's around 65%!
The land transfer fees and taxes are getting higher and higher.
This is not something that can be changed with a few policies and a few restrictions on housing purchases.
Unless, from the root of the restrictions, the government will completely reduce the land and taxes sold, and in addition, introduce a policy to directly cap the sales!
Only then can the problem of housing price increase be eliminated from the root.
The government wants to rely on land transfer fees and taxes to ensure other aspects of infrastructure to boost the local economy, but they do not want housing prices to rise. Where else can they find such a good deal?
Real estate developers are not stupid. If they can't make money, why would they waste effort to develop real estate?
The land in the countryside is not high, but the key is that they can't sell it.
The bigger the city, the less they have to worry about selling.
Therefore, everyone swarms to the city, and when the government sees the supply not meeting the demand, the transfer fees will naturally increase …
In the end, how are we going to control it? "
"This …"
Du Anmin frowned. Li Dong saw this and hurriedly waved his hand and said, "Uncle Du, let's not talk about this. I am just saying this casually. Don't think too much about it. This is the general trend of the entire market. You can't change it alone. All the local governments need to rely on this to boost the economy. Furthermore, real estate developers also need to rely on this to earn money. Don't make a big fuss. If people find out, they will cut me up. I have offended enough people now. If you recruit more opponents for me, I will have nowhere to run. I can only hide here. "
Du Anmin was speechless. You also know that you have offended a lot of people!
But Du Anmin also knows that even if he wants to change, some things will be more difficult than he imagined.
What Li Dong said about offending someone and being sliced into pieces was not impossible.
Even if Li Dong is the richest man in the country, if he really offends the local governments and real estate developers, he will not be able to live a good life.
Back in Jiangbei, even though it was just a piece of land in Pingchuan, Li Dong was almost ruined by the real estate merchants in Pingchuan.
At that time, the biggest real estate developer in Longhua was still on Li Dong's side. If not, Li Dong would not even be able to win against the real estate developers in Pingchuan.
Now, it was magnified to the whole country, let alone the whole country.
There are too many vested interests in the real estate market. Li Dong and Du Anmin are just a small part of it.
Du Anmin shook his head and drank a mouthful of wine. "We will do our best. Some policies still need to be implemented. Now, many people in the government are suggesting to continue to introduce economic stimulus policies. According to what you said, even if we do not stimulate the real estate market, it will recover. If we stimulate the real estate market, it might reach your expectations. "
Li Dong agreed. "That is true. Uncle Du, in my opinion, there are not many good people in the real estate industry. If we are talking about good people, it is our Dong Yu Real Estate. How about this? You can sell all the land in Beijing to me at a low price. I will build the houses and sell them at a low price … … "
Everyone at the table quieted down when they heard this.
Everyone looked at Li Dong. This guy really dares to say this. He is really thick-skinned!
Du Anmin glanced at him and said after a long while. "If I dare to give it to you, you must also dare to take it!"
Let's not talk about whether he had that much power, and let's not talk about whether Li Dong could afford it.
Even if he can afford it, he must dare to do it!
Longhua is so powerful in Jiangbei, but they dare not monopolize the real estate market in Jiangbei. Even Pingchuan does not dare to monopolize the real estate market in Jiangbei.
Li Dong dryly laughed. "That's true. I'm just joking. Actually, I don't want to get involved in the real estate market now. It's troublesome, and I will be scolded easily. Far away from here, if the real estate market continues to expand, it will be more commercial real estate. The residential real estate market should not be outside of Jiangbei. At most, we can just build a few residential areas for employees. "
Li Dong's words attracted Shen Xuehua's approval.
Shen Xuehua nodded in agreement. "There are too many things involved in the real estate market, and it's easy to be criticized. Far away from here on out can actually avoid a lot of trouble if we focus on commercial real estate alone. In addition to this … we should pay more attention to the real estate market in the future. "
She did not make it too clear, but Li Dong understood.
Although the attacks on the internet had been settled, the news of Li Dong's father-in-law's background had been confirmed.
The real estate industry had always been eye-catching, and it's a taboo.
If Li Dong were to do it on a large scale, the attacks would only increase.
If he were to focus on commercial real estate alone, there would still be attacks, but it would not affect many people or ordinary citizens, and the impact would be smaller.
This was not only for Li Dong's benefit, but also for Du Anmin's benefit.
In fact, Li Dong might not be able to make much money even if he were to do real estate now.
If he did not take the unorthodox path and solely relied on real estate projects to make money, the investment would be too large, and the cycle would be long. It might not be better than the retail or other industries.
Although the retail industry did not make much money, the key was that the recovery rate was fast.
If you invested in the real estate industry, with billions of dollars, it might take three to five years. That would be normal.
But in the retail industry, three to five months was considered long.
Far away, which was in a period of rapid development, was more suitable for industries with short recovery periods.
Of course, if you relied on bank loans or used your connections to pre-sell in advance, the recovery rate would be fast.
But if you did that, there would definitely be some areas that were not compliant.
Nowadays, most of the domestic real estate companies were doing this.
However, Du Anmin, Shen Xuehua, and Shen Qian actually did not want Li Dong to do the same.
The law does not punish the masses, and everyone does it. This was the industry's rule …
These reasons could be used by others, but Li Dong had already come this far. There was no need for him to take the risk for such things.
After Shen Xuehua finished speaking, Li Dong nodded and said, "Auntie, don't worry. I know all of this. There are many profit-making industries, and I don't earn money from everything. Furthermore, commercial real estate makes a lot of money. Even building a Far away city in a city would be enough to keep me busy for decades. "
As the few of them spoke, Shen Qian saw that Li Dong's parents could not interrupt, so she could not help but interrupt with a smile. "Alright, let's not talk about this. Aren't you bored talking about this at home? Tonight is a farewell for Uncle and Auntie. Uncle Li, Auntie Cao, let me toast to you. I'll send you to the airport tomorrow. After the new year, I'll visit you again. "
When Cao Fang heard this, she immediately smiled and said, "Alright, alright, come over early. If it wasn't for the fact that Brother Du and Big Sis Shen would be unhappy, you might as well come over to our place for the new year. Brother Du is too busy. Otherwise, it would be even more lively if his whole family came over to our place for the new year. Next year, we'll celebrate the new year together … "
When these words were said, Shen Xuehua and Old Du felt a little upset.
As the saying went, a grown daughter could not be kept at home. Next year, their daughter would be spending the new year with someone else. It did sound a little sad.
Even though it was still early next year, they could not bear to part with her.
With that, the couple was no longer in the mood to say anything else. Their daughter was sucking up to her future father-in-law and mother-in-law, but her future son-in-law did not suck up to them. How inhumane!
Old Du was unhappy and did not give Li Dong any face. He kept asking Li Dong to drink.
As for himself, he drank five mouthfuls of a cup of wine, which meant that Li Dong had to drink five cups.
If you don't drink, it means you are looking down on me and not giving face to your father-in-law!
After a few times, how could Li Dong not feel this change? He immediately looked at Shen Qian with an aggrieved look. Who did I offend?
Old Du was really something. His daughter was already in her early thirties, but he was not in a hurry to give her away. Instead, he wanted to keep her by his side. What kind of person was he!
After a few cups of wine, Li Dong could not stand it anymore. He hurriedly said to Li Chengyuan, "Dad, drink with Uncle Du. Uncle Du can hold his liquor well. Don't stand on ceremony with him!"
When he said this, Shen Qian could not hold it in any longer and burst out laughing.
Old Du's face was also full of black lines. Bastard, I'll drink with you and you're still playing tricks. You're not a son!
For a moment, the atmosphere at the dining table became relaxed.
…
January 22nd, the 27th day of the twelfth lunar month.
There were only three days left before the new year. Li Chengyuan and his wife were in a hurry to return and did not continue to stay in Jingcheng.
Shen Qian had to stay to spend the new year with her parents and would only go to Pingchuan after the new year.
Early in the morning, Shen Qian came to send them off.
Old Du had something on, so he naturally could not come. Even if it was fine, Old Du might not come. Even if he did, it would only cause more trouble.
On the other hand, Shen Xuehua accompanied Shen Qian to send them off. Shen Xuehua, who came from a large family, was impeccable in terms of etiquette, except for being rude to Li Dong.
In the past few days, Cao Fang had become more fond of Shen Qian because her marriage had been confirmed.
When they bid farewell at the airport, she held Shen Qian's hand and had many things to say.
Li Dong also accompanied his parents back today. It was almost the new year, and there were still many things to arrange in Pingchuan. He had to go back and make them.
Seeing his mother talking to Shen Qian and his father playing with the two kids, Li Dong could not help but look at Shen Xuehua and said, "Auntie, do you have any instructions? My mom is talking to Qianqian and has almost forgotten about me. Do you want to say a few words to me? "
Shen Xuehua immediately frowned. This bastard. He was still fine in the past, but now he was getting more and more out of control.
She glanced at him. After a while, Shen Xuehua harrumphed and said, "If you don't treat Qianqian well, I'll deal with you later!"
Li Dong was instantly embarrassed. Didn't this mean that a mother-in-law would like her son-in-law more and more the more she looked at him?
In the Old Du family, he had a good relationship with everyone. Even Old Du, the dignified father-in-law, had settled things with him.
Why was it that when it came to Shen Xuehua, she always disliked him? It didn't make sense!
This time, Li Dong no longer tried to curry favor with Shen Xuehua. He hurriedly went to Shen Qian and Cao Fang and said, "Mom, Qianqian, it's time to go. Anyway, it's only a few days. You can come back after the new year. Why don't I pick you up? That's it. Go back and spend more time with Uncle Du and Auntie Shen. I keep feeling that there's something wrong with the way they look at me. "
Shen Qian could not help but laugh. She nudged him but did not say anything. Cao Fang also glared at him. This rascal, your mother-in-law is listening. What nonsense are you spouting?
The few of them exchanged a few more pleasantries with Shen Xuehua. Li Dong and Shen Qian hugged each other before waving goodbye.
After Li Dong's family boarded the plane, Shen Xuehua could not help but say, "Why does this rascal Li Dong seem more and more out of control? We need to discipline him later!"
Shen Qian's face was full of smiles as she said, "Mom, don't you think it's more interesting this way? It'd be so boring if he were to be serious. I like this character of his. I'm always so happy when I'm with him. "
Shen Xuehua rolled her eyes. It was hopeless.
Shen Xuehua could not be bothered to speak anymore. She turned around and left. Her daughter would really have to take the surname Li in the future. The more she thought about it, the more upset she felt.
