Siheyuan: A Cook in the 60s

"It's for employees to live in. This way, it will be easier to manage. I also want to borrow some people from you, those who have retired from the army and have nowhere to go. Can you transfer some of them to me? I also want to set up a security department."

"Let's talk about this issue later. Let's talk about the house first." The leader said with a smile.

Cao Wei: ...

Well, I can't fool them, and this protection fee doesn't seem to have much effect.

"I plan to sell or rent the house to our internal employees."

"How about selling it? How about renting it out?"

"If it is rented out, a relatively low price will be set," Cao Wei explained.

This is actually not much different from the current status of state-owned enterprises.

In this era, the so-called unit-allocated housing, in fact, the ownership of the house does not belong to the individual, but to the unit. However, later on, the state-owned enterprises were restructured, and the old employees had lived in the house for so many years, and they could not be driven away, as that would be too outrageous. Moreover, this kind of thing, if not handled properly, would really lead to a riot. Therefore, after much deliberation, in the end, it was decided that the house belonged to the individual.

Back to the point, a normal state-owned enterprise, such as a steel mill, would usually build some tube buildings by itself. If there is no more room for people to live in, they would cooperate with the street office. The street office would rent out the houses it has, whether they are rented out or otherwise, and if there are vacant houses, they would also rent them out to the steel mill. In this way, they could be resettled. Therefore, the method Cao Wei mentioned is not surprising.

What the leader is really curious about is selling.

"What about selling it?"

At that time in 81, there was no such thing as real estate, but some people sold some under various names.

In fact, the higher-ups all know all of this, but no one cares.

They say that buying and selling houses is not allowed, but if people want to move to other cities or live with their children, they can't just leave their houses empty and be occupied by others. This is not appropriate, so they turn a blind eye. But if you talk about people who actually develop houses for sale, there really are none.

It’s not because capitalists can’t see the pie in real estate.

But the domestic environment does not allow it. How do you sell your house? How do you pay the tax? How much do you sell it for? These are all problems.

"We will provide a sum of money for employees to buy houses." Cao Wei said: "Our investor also approved this proposal. She thinks it is necessary to provide employees with a comfortable environment."

"Tell me more about the purchase price."

Cao Wei: ...

The boss is the boss.

"We will set aside a portion of our employees' monthly salary as housing funds."

"What's the difference between that and them buying it themselves?" Jing Yu couldn't help but interrupt.

"It's different. For example, this month, an employee's salary is 100 yuan. She takes out 20 yuan as a house purchase fund, and our restaurant will make up yuan. If she pays yuan every month, she can probably buy a house in three or four years."

"What if she doesn't want to continue working halfway through?" Jing Yu is also good at grasping the key points.

"During this period, the rent generated by the house will be settled with her. As for the remaining money, it will be returned and will not be withheld." Cao Wei shrugged. What he cared about was never selling or renting a house. To be honest, that thing is really an employee benefit.

"How much land do you plan to take?"

"Hey, it doesn't need to be too big. I can just build a garden-style community." Cao Wei waved his hand with a righteous look.

“What is a garden-style community?”

“It’s a community with a garden.”

Leader, Jingyu: ???

The idea of ​​a garden-style community was rejected by the leader, but he did get a piece of land to build a building. The land was not too big, nor too small. If he built a tube-shaped building, he could line up many buildings. But Cao Wei was not in a hurry. He had to wait for Lou Xiao'e to come back before he could start. At this stage, the domestic architecture department was still a little bit lacking. He also needed time to find someone.

Take your time.

After Cao Wei left.

The leader patted Jingyu on the shoulder and said, "You have a long way to go. Work hard."

"Yes!"

Cao Wei does not represent an individual, but a type of people. In this world, there are many honest people and many smart people. When the policy is relaxed, these people will take advantage of loopholes. Only they know that fighting wits and courage is a laborious process. It is tiring, but very interesting.

He returned to the courtyard humming a little tune.

As soon as I got home, I found Lou Xiao'e sitting in the living room.

"Hey, have you finished with that? I was just thinking about you, and here you are."

"What's the matter? What happened again?" Lou Xiao'e glared at him and said, "Why don't you go to Hong Kong with me? Your daughter and son are all there, but you just don't want to go out."

"No, no, no, there's nowhere else to go as free as in the old city. Besides, aren't you there?" Cao Wei put the tea tray on the table. For so many years, his hobby has been drinking tea.

"Here, I brought this for you." Lou Xiao'e took out a piece of tea cake from the bag.

"Hey, Dahongpao?"

"Well, it's been around for a while. Try it."

"Hey, I can't tell good from bad."

"Then you still drink tea all day."

"The bitter taste and the sweet aftertaste, good or bad, it's all the same. Thank you for your hard work." Cao Wei carefully broke off a small piece and processed the tea cake.

"You say one thing and mean another." Lou Xiao'e wrinkled her nose.

"How's things going in Hong Kong?"

"After disposing of some of the properties, I have left some that are easy to manage, some shops and a few buildings. It won't be so troublesome to collect rent in the future." Lou Xiao'e counted on her fingers: "This is the fastest way to deal with it. I just don't know if the real estate can still go up."

"Speaking of real estate, I just happened to want a piece of land."

"Do we still need land?" Lou Xiaoe frowned. "The southern part of the country is giving it away now. Especially in Shekou, I heard they are going to set up a cooperative organization. They will give as much as you want. It's exaggerated."

"It's a city after all." Cao Wei brought her a cup of tea.

She picked up the teacup and took a sip. "If you buy a piece of land now, you will not see the return until at least 20 years later. This period is too long. I can't do anything about it, but you can take bigger steps."

Since the opening of Samadhi Tower, Lou Xiao'e has slightly changed her mindset and believes that investing in the mainland is still interesting.

But this does not mean much.

Compared with Hong Kong, it is far behind. But who made this guy unwilling to develop in Hong Kong? Lou Xiaoe knew that with his skills, he would definitely have a place in Hong Kong.

Thinking of this, she couldn't help but glare at him fiercely again.

"You're itching, why are you staring at me like that?"

"Humph!"
