Li Rui secretly thought that with Han Zhifei as a spy, it shouldn't be difficult to get evidence of Han Shui's illegal activities. If Han Zhifei couldn't get it, then let his father, Han Jin, do it. The father and son's ability and resources were not on the same order of magnitude. Thinking of this, he suddenly felt that it was time to get in touch with Han Jin and test his attitude towards Han Shui. If possible, then he would cut the Gordian knot and quickly turn him over to his side and use him for himself.
Back home, Li Rui put down his briefcase and took a glass of cold water. While drinking, he walked around the living room and found a cup with only tea base left on the coffee table. He guessed that there was a guest in the house and took it to the kitchen to wash it.
At this time, Li Jianmin also came back from outside. Li Rui casually asked him who was the guest in the house. Li Jianmin said that it was an old workmate named Wang Youcai. He used to visit the house often and asked Li Rui if he remembered him. Li Rui thought for a while. He had some impression, but he couldn't remember clearly. He guessed that they hadn't met for many years.
Li Jianmin talked about Wang Youcai's recent experience, which was the main content of this old friend's visit tonight.
Wang Youcai's family of six (two elders, Wang Youcai and his wife, son and daughter-in-law) had been living in a small house of more than 60 square meters in the northern district of the city. They had worked hard to save money for most of their lives. In addition, their son and daughter-in-law had saved tens of thousands of yuan in the past few years. In the winter of last year, they had saved 250,000 yuan for the down payment and bought a three-bedroom, two-living room house with an area of 135 square meters. They planned to move to a bigger house. When the big house was handed over, the family of six would move in. As for whether they would sell the old house to pay off the loan or rent it out, it would depend on the income in the future.
According to the contract, the new house was to be handed over at the end of April this year. However, after the house was built, the measurement showed that the building area was 9.6 square meters more than what was stipulated in the contract. The total area was more than 144 square meters. The developer asked Wang Youcai to pay for the extra 9.6 square meters. Because the increase in area exceeded the so-called luxury standard of 144 square meters, the deed tax also doubled, from the previous 2% to 4%. The extra space, the deed tax, and the miscellaneous fees for receiving the keys had suddenly reached a whopping 100,000.
One must know that the average salary in Qingyang City was only a relatively low figure of 3,000 yuan. Wang Youcai's family of six, all of their income came from his son and daughter-in-law. The two of them added up to 6,000 yuan, and their annual income was no more than 80,000 yuan. The family's food, clothing, transportation, medicine, as well as all kinds of social activities during weddings and funerals. At the end of the year, they might not even have twenty thousand yuan left in their hands. It was no exaggeration to say that the huge economic pressure brought by the extra 9.6 square meters of the Nanzhu Garden commercial building would definitely make Wang Youcai's family breathless for five years or even longer.
This made Wang Youcai's family both surprised and angry. They repeatedly communicated with the developer, but the developer only asked the saleslady to come forward perfunctorily. None of the managers showed up. Wang Youcai took his son to argue with the saleslady, but the saleslady perfunctorily said that it was good to increase the area and that the house would be bigger. Wang Youcai's son was angry at that time. He slapped the front desk and scolded, "Nonsense! I know it's good to have a bigger house, but do I have so much money? Why don't you give me an extra 200 square meters, or 2,000 square meters, and build the entire community into my house? "
When the saleslady heard this, she simply ignored them. Wang Youcai and his son also knew that the developer was rich and powerful, so they only dared to lose their temper. They didn't dare to really beat and scold the saleslady, so they could only return in embarrassment. Later, Wang Youcai and his son joined other owners to defend their rights, but the saleslady was perfunctory. Later, she gave an ultimatum, saying that if Wang Youcai refused to pay the extra house price, she would charge a late fee of one-thousandth of the total house price every day.
What was even more disgusting was that before Wang Youcai bought the house, the real estate developer promised that the height of the house was 2.8 meters, but the actual height of the house was only 2.6 meters. He felt particularly depressed when he walked in. The taller the person, the more uncomfortable it was to stay in the house. It hadn't been renovated yet. If the height of the house was reduced by five to eight centimeters after the renovation, it would be even more depressing. It could be imagined what kind of experience it would be to live in such a house all day long.
Wang Youcai's son was so angry that he found a classmate who was a lawyer and wanted to file a lawsuit with the developer to fight for his legal rights and interests. After his classmate heard the crux of the problem, he pointed out that this kind of problem should be dealt with according to the "Area Confirmation and Area Difference Handling" provisions of the State's "Administrative Measures for the Sale of Commercial Housing". If the difference between the area agreed in the contract and the actual building area did not exceed 3%, the difference needed to be made up. If the difference exceeded 3%, the buyer could cancel the house and ask the developer to make the necessary compensation. Alternatively, the buyer could only make up for 3% of the difference and not make up for the part that exceeded 3%.
In the end, Wang Youcai's son took out the house purchase contract and looked at it. In the "Area Confirmation and Area Difference Handling" section, there were two options to choose from. The developer chose option I: The area agreed in the contract was the estimated area, and the final area was based on the actual area measured by the relevant departments. The corresponding amount of the house would be refunded and compensated. Option II was the national regulation above. When the lawyer saw this, he determined that the family had fallen into the developer's trap. Because of this, Wang Youcai's family had to pay for the extra area. Otherwise, the law would not protect them. The lawyer asked for the developer's name again. Wang Youcai's son said that it was Huasheng Real Estate Development Company.
When the lawyer heard this name, he smiled bitterly and waved his hand. He said, "Don't say that we are not in the right. Even if we are in the right, the other party is Huasheng Real Estate Development Company, a subsidiary of Hanshui Real Estate Company. We can't afford to offend them. If I dare to accept this case for you, not only will I lose my foothold in the city, but I will also suffer the personal revenge of Hanshui Real Estate Company.
Wang Youcai's son went home and told the situation to his family. When the Wang family heard that the developer was actually Hanshui's company, they were scared out of their wits. They didn't dare to compete with the developer anymore. They could only suffer in silence.
Wang Youcai was so angry that he couldn't vent his anger. That was why he came to find his old friend, Li Jianmin, to vent his anger.
Li Rui was pleasantly surprised when he heard this. He realized that this was another big piece of evidence of Hanshui's crimes. If it was done well, it might become the biggest opportunity to defeat Hanshui. He shouted, "It's Hanshui's fault again?!"
Li Jianmin asked curiously, "Again? What other crimes did Hanshui commit? "
Li Rui smiled and said, "No, I'm just lamenting!"
Li Jianmin also scolded, "There are no good developers nowadays. If they are all caught and executed, there will definitely be some who are innocent. But if one-tenth of them are released, there will definitely be some who slip through the net. The money that the people painstakingly save is all earned by the real estate developers. Hanshui still thinks that he doesn't earn enough and plays tricks on the size of the house. Oh, you promised that it would be 135, but you suddenly increased it to 144. Did I let you increase it? Why do I have to pay more? "
Li Rui thought for a while and asked, "The developer said that there is an extra 9.6 square meters, so there is an extra 9.6 square meters. Didn't Uncle Wang ask the surveyors from the Housing Management Bureau to re-measure it?"
Li Jianmin said, "Your Uncle Wang originally wanted to find someone to measure it, but later he heard that the developer was Hanshui's company, so he didn't think about it. What's the use of re-measuring it? With Hanshui's wealth in the city, he must have colluded with the Housing Management Bureau. Let alone re-measuring it once, even if it was re-measured ten times, it would still be the same amount. "
Li Rui asked, "Does Uncle Wang have any evidence to prove that?"
Li Jianmin shook his head and said, "How can there be any evidence? Besides, is there a need for evidence?! Isn't it obvious?! Who would believe that the real estate developer didn't collude with the Housing Management Bureau? "
Li Rui asked, "Apart from this, is there any other evidence that the developer is suspected of cheating Uncle Wang?"
Li Jianmin asked curiously, "Why do you want to know so much? Don't tell me that you want to seek justice for your Uncle Wang. If it was an ordinary developer, it would be fine, but Huasheng Real Estate Company is owned by Hanshui. Who doesn't know about Hanshui's reputation in the city? Rumor has it that he started out as a gangster. Even if you become the secretary of the Municipal Party Committee, you definitely won't be able to beat him. So, just treat it as gossip and don't ask so much. Don't think that you can rely on your father-in-law to fight with Hanshui. Your father-in-law isn't in Qingyang City, so he can't help you. If you really fight with Hanshui, you will implicate Qingman. She is pregnant now. Because outsiders don't want to offend someone as ruthless as Hanshui … "
Li Rui's expression didn't change, but he smiled bitterly in his heart. He thought to himself, Your son, I have already fought with Hanshui. Now, it's either he dies or I die. I have to kill him. If I don't kill him, I won't have a good ending, let alone Qingman and the child. He nodded and said, "Yes, I'm just asking casually. Didn't Uncle Wang say that the developer promised a height of 2.8 meters, but they only built 2.6 meters? "
Li Jianmin shook his head and said, "Your Uncle Wang said that this wasn't written in the contract. Even if he is cheated now, he can't complain."
Li Rui nodded and didn't ask anymore. He walked into the bedroom and chatted with Qingman for a while before taking off his clothes to take a shower.
