"But Mr. Jia, aren't you afraid that the people who can't afford to buy or rent a house won't have a place to live? Now, the price of a house in Shanghai has risen to 2500 yuan per square meter. Even a house in Pudong New District costs 1800 yuan per square meter. The monthly rent for a 100-square-meter house is 300 yuan. You bought 250,000 units in one go. This is equivalent to making 250,000 families homeless. Doesn't your conscience hurt when you buy so many units? "Suddenly, a reporter stood up and questioned sternly.
"Here it comes!"
"Here it comes!"
"Where did this person come from? This question is really sharp. I'd like to see how Jia Yapeng will answer this question!" Hearing this reporter's question, the rest of the reporters all sighed in their hearts.
The reason was very simple. This question was a question of death. Boss Jia could answer the previous question with domineering words like "It's not against the law" and "I have money. What can you do about it?"
But this question was different. According to Boss Jia's previous answers, the answer would be "I don't violate the law by buying a house. As for whether other people have a house or not, it has nothing to do with me!"
Of course, Boss Jia could be more tactful. For example, "There are millions of houses in Shanghai. My 250,000 units are nothing. It won't affect the market!"
But no matter how he answered, Boss Jia's disregard for the common people's lives was undeniable. That was to say, the conflict over real estate was not intense enough now. If this happened 20 years later, Boss Jia would be criticized by the entire Internet. The entire Daqian Group would be boycotted. His reputation would be ten times worse than Lenovo's.
This was not the worst part. The worst part was that all kinds of tricks followed. Boss Jia and the Daqian Group were not far from death.
Just as the reporters were looking forward to seeing how Boss Jia would answer this question according to his previous style, Boss Jia praised in his heart, "It's finally here!" Then, he spoke in a drawn-out voice.
"Actually, I have a deep understanding of what this reporter said. I remember when I was young, the factory didn't give me a salary, and my parents didn't have a separate room. The whole family was squeezed into a single dormitory, a small room less than five square meters, and there were five of us. Those days were really difficult. At that time, my biggest dream was to be able to live in a big house, to have a room of my own, and to be able to enjoy a free life!"
To everyone's surprise, Boss Jia didn't answer the question directly. Instead, he began to reminisce about his life.
If Boss Jia was trying to change the topic by reminiscing about his past, it didn't seem like it. After all, Boss Jia suspected that he had lived a hard life without a house back then. Even now, he felt like he was on the same side as the people and wanted to defeat the house speculators.
But the question was, was Boss Jia going to defeat him?
"But Mr. Jia, what you said seems to be different from what you did!" A reporter couldn't help but mock.
"Reporter, are you a western reporter?" Boss Jia suddenly asked.
"Huh …" The reporter was stunned for a moment, then said angrily, "I was born and raised in Hua Xia, not a western reporter!"
"Then don't interrupt me, I haven't finished speaking!" Boss Jia smiled and said, "It was because of this experience in my childhood that I developed the hobby of buying houses. It can be considered as a way to make up for the trauma in my heart!"
"Also because of this experience in my childhood, here, I would like to solemnly announce an important decision to all of you!" Boss Jia's expression suddenly became extremely serious. The surrounding reporters were also shocked. Then, they all raised the cameras in their hands and pointed them at Boss Jia, waiting for his important decision!
"Actually, it's not a very important decision …" Boss Jia said with a smile. The reporters were relieved. Some of them put down the cameras in their hands and were about to curse when Boss Jia said, "I announce that in the next 15 years, the 250,000 houses I bought will all be rented out as poor low-rent houses!"
"In Shanghai, all families whose monthly income can't reach Shanghai's average wage and who don't have a house can apply to Daqian Real Estate to rent our poor low-rent houses. Here, I guarantee that the rent price of our poor low-rent houses will always be half of the average rental price in the surrounding areas. All families who don't live well can rent a renovated house from us at half the price!"
As soon as Boss Jia said this, all the reporters present were shocked. Wasn't this a little too extravagant?
250,000 houses, according to the current rent of 300 yuan a month, that would be a loss of nearly 40 million yuan a month. This loss was huge!
Hearing Boss Jia's words, all the reporters couldn't help but gulp. Then, some reporters stood up and asked if it was true!
"Of course it's true!" The person who answered this question was the representative of the Real Estate Administration. He replied with a serious face, "We have already reached a cooperation agreement with Daqian Group on this matter. This cooperation will be listed as a key project of the ZF for this year, and even for the next few years. We, the ZF, will be responsible for supervising the entire process. We will ensure that these low-rent houses are truly provided to those families who don't have to worry about living there!"
"Clap clap clap!" Suddenly, there was a round of applause at the scene. Then, the applause quickly spread. In the end, the entire President's office was filled with the enthusiastic applause of the reporters. Even some of the reporters who had ulterior motives had no choice but to applaud under the intense and enthusiastic applause.

With the end of the press conference, this important news quickly spread throughout the country. Most of the people knew about this news through the media, especially in Shanghai.
This was especially so for the people of Shanghai. The local neighborhood committees even took the initiative to send the relevant information to the residents in their areas of jurisdiction. They said that families or individuals who had poor living conditions, poor family finances, and did not have a fixed property could apply to Da Qian to rent low-rent houses.
As for the first batch of 10,000 units, they moved quickly and started renting them out before the New Year.
Out of the 10,000 places, more than 60,000 people applied. In the end, they had to rely on drawing lots to decide. In the end, more than 10,000 poor families excitedly moved into the spacious, bright, and 100-square-meter houses at half the price.
Important TV stations such as Shanghai and CCTV reported this news in all aspects. It wasn't just because these TV stations had a good relationship with the Daqian Group. More importantly, this was a great good for the ZF. It could greatly improve the ZF's image.
When this news spread throughout the country, all the people stopped scolding Boss Jia. After all, he was renting out his house at half the price. He was a good person in Hua Xia. They couldn't scold him.
Then, they started to feel jealous. They were jealous that Boss Jia didn't buy or build a house in their city. If that was the case, they would have had low-rent houses to live in.
The people of Shanghai were really lucky. Everything good happened to them!
For a while, Boss Jia and the Daqian Group were praised. No one scolded the Daqian Group anymore!
