Zhang Shulin's wife was a diligent housekeeper. She quickly arranged a large table full of dishes and said with a smile, "There are no dishes. I hope you don't mind."
"I'm sorry to bother you." Li He helped to arrange the dishes.
Zhang Shulin said, "It's our honor to have you here."
"If you don't mind," his wife echoed, "please come more often in the future."
"Then I will." For the sake of his daughter, he didn't even know how to be polite.
Zhang Shulin took out the white wine but was rejected by Li He. Zhang Shulin said, "Beer then?"
"One bottle per person." Although Li He didn't give up drinking completely, he still tried to drink as little as possible.
"As long as you're not afraid of the cold." Zhang Shulin remembered that Li He was an alcoholic and didn't want to drink too much. Although he had doubts, he didn't ask. He took two bottles of beer and put them under the radiator for a while. When they warmed up a bit, he gave each of them a bottle.
There wasn't much alcohol. The two drank slowly and mainly ate the dishes.
"Sister-in-law's dishes are really good." Li He gave a thumbs up and praised, "If you open a restaurant with such skills, you'll definitely make the surrounding restaurants run out of business."
Zhang Shulin said with a smile, "Don't praise her. She can't stand it."
His wife said, "It's fine if you make two dishes at home. But not a restaurant. First, you can't spend so much effort and can't make exquisite dishes. Second, you have to be willing to use good ingredients at home. You don't care about the cost. In a restaurant, you have to serve the dishes quickly. The customers don't have the patience to waste time with you. Moreover, if you don't care about the cost, you'll lose a lot of money."
"Sister-in-law, you don't have to be so modest." Li He knew that he was telling the truth. For example, the taste of the dishes made by Shoushan at home and in a restaurant would be different.
"Come, let's drink." Zhang Shulin finally took a big gulp.
"What did you want from me last time?" Seeing his wife go to the kitchen, Li He finally got to the point. He couldn't just freeload a meal.
"This year, we will stop the welfare housing distribution policy.
Since June, everyone's confidence in the real estate market had increased, and the new construction area of commercial housing had increased significantly compared to the same period last year.
Some of the existing houses were sold out, and the future houses were also sold out. Moreover, the housing prices did not fall. The houses within the Third Ring Road were not only in short supply, but there were also no houses for sale. Everyone said that the housing prices would not fall.
I'm always worried that the housing prices are too high. "Zhang Shulin revealed his purpose of looking for Li He.
"You are the developer. You should be happy that the housing prices have increased, right?" Li He didn't understand Zhang Shulin's perspective.
Zhang Shulin said, "Now that the government has introduced affordable housing, the construction of new residential projects, especially affordable housing, may affect the development of the housing market. The housing prices will be driven up by the government, developers, and individual residents to stabilize the current housing prices that are too high relative to the residents' purchasing power.
I'm worried that it will impact the commercial housing market. Many developers are already adjusting their business methods. They would rather rent out their properties than lower the price of commercial housing.
Lowering the price would mean a loss. One square meter of land would cost 4400 yuan. "
"Then what do you mean?" Li He asked casually.
Zhang Shulin looked at Li He, paused, and said, "I want to temporarily stop for a period of time and see how the wind blows."
"I happened to have nothing to do this morning, so I looked at some data. I won't talk about housing prices. I can only talk about the return on investment. The areas with the highest return on investment in office buildings are the Zhongguancun area, where the property prices are the lowest, and Jianguomen Wai Street, where the annual return on rent is as high as 19.4% and 18.3% respectively. Do you know what this means? "Li He asked.
Zhang Shulin said, "In other words, investing in high-end public housing and office buildings in Beijing will only take an average of six years to recover the investment."
Li He spread out his hands. "Whether it's a necessity or an investment, as long as one isn't stupid, the funds will eventually stay in the real estate industry."
History had finally proven it with facts, and he didn't need to make any inferences or logical explanations.
"Mr. Li, every time I look for you, I can't be wrong." Zhang Shulin's admiration for Li He was overflowing. A simple example was able to make him understand the trend of the real estate industry. He had to be convinced! However, this didn't make him feel better. He continued, "The macro-economy has entered a period of major adjustment. The Asia-Pacific financial crisis is coming fast and the whole world is shaken. I'm afraid the overall environment is not good. "
"You're wrong again." Li He rejected Zhang Shulin's opinion. "The impact of the financial crisis is still limited. Even if the international market is really depressed, the government will guide domestic demand instead of suppressing the real estate market.
With the strengthening of the housing reform and the introduction of the central bank's housing guarantee measures to guide residents' housing consumption, the market demand will increase, and the market will become more standardized. The new supply will decrease, and the overall price of ordinary housing will rise steadily. In the short term, the market supply and demand will not fundamentally change, and the fluctuations of housing prices in different locations will continue. "
With his actions, Soros collapsed in Thailand, Malaysia, and was hit back in Hong Kong. After losing 700 million USD, he could only leave with his profits from the Philippines, Singapore, and Japan. There were profits and losses, but there were still profits.
Li He was not satisfied with this operation, but he had no choice. The scale of the international financial market was too big, and Soros was not fighting alone. He represented a huge international fund, and he was also the wind vane of the hot money.
It was not easy for Guo Dongyun to make Soros suffer losses in Thailand and Malaysia.
However, he still had some gains. The consortium led by him had made 7.7 billion USD in this financial crisis. After the division was completed, he still received 1.5 billion USD.
"Enlighten me." Zhang Shulin raised his glass again.
"Just finish it." Li He was unwilling to drink anymore since the bottle was empty. Zhang Shulin didn't force him to do so.
After dinner, Feng Yu chatted with Zhang Shulin for a while. Before leaving, he patted his daughter's head. "Say goodbye to Uncle?"
Zhang Xiaohui did not even raise her head and was playing with her train.
"Why are you so rude?" Zhang Shulin scolded Zhang Xiaohui.
"Don't scare the child." Li He smiled nonchalantly. He said goodbye to Zhang Shulin and left the Zhang family.
It was already 8 pm when they reached home. Li Lan was doing his homework on the coffee table. He did not even raise his head.
Li He sat on the sofa and threw the candy wrappers and fruit peels into the trash can. He found a broken plate in it.
"Who did this?"
"I don't know." Li Lan shook his head and thought for a while. "Probably Mom."
"Why?"
