Top of the big era

Some things are really hard to get the best of both worlds.

Markets have tremendous power.

In the face of this power, Zhou Buqi is as small as an ant. He cannot resist the rapid rise in housing prices in the surrounding area. If supply exceeds demand, a similar situation will inevitably occur.

Zhang Yiqiu went on to tell her story. When I was looking for a house, I saw a 50-square-meter studio with a monthly rent of 2,700 yuan and a building that was over 30 years old. There were four beds there, three of which were arranged in the living room.

There are 4 beds and 6 girls live there.

They rented together.

“There are so many young people working in Internet companies here that there is no house that cannot be rented out.”

Zhang Yiqiu's seemingly plain words reveal the endless bitterness of contemporary young people working hard in big cities. Young people are the future and hope, but young people of this generation are burdened with too much unimaginable pressure.

At this point, Guo Dan added, "I have a friend who is a civil servant and has a very good investment acumen. He collected more than 700,000 and bought 4 houses here. He only paid a down payment. Then he bought the house The young people who rent to these Internet companies rely on their rent to support their houses. When we chatted about Shan Zhan Teng Nian that day, we all praised him for his brains and that he should go out to do business."

Zhou Buqi nodded, "The more complex the market, the more opportunities there are. As long as you are bold, dare to borrow money, and dare to fight, you can enjoy the dividends of the times."

This is a two-way dividend surrounding the Internet and real estate.

If anyone sees it correctly, they can almost enjoy the success.

Buy a few more apartments next to a big factory, then rent them to young people from the big factory, wait for the rent to be collected, and just rely on the rent to pay off the mortgage. As time goes by, the Internet industry will become richer and richer, and employees' salaries will become higher and higher, which will push the price of renting houses higher and higher.

At the same time, the real estate boom across the country is booming again, with housing prices rising steadily.

It's simply a pleasure.

With some savings in hand, I will continue to buy houses, continue to rent houses, and continue to operate this business model. The initial start-up cost actually only requires a down payment of 100,000 yuan for the first home.

There are college students who have just graduated, discovered the mystery, and then rushed in, constantly buying houses, renting houses, collecting rents, paying off loans, and continuing to make down payments to buy houses.

If the repayment pressure is too great and the capital turnover is limited, it doesn't matter. Anyway, the housing market is so hot. If you just transfer one house out, the financial pressure will be relieved, and the remaining money can be used to pay the down payment of three more houses.

Just like a loan shark, the interest keeps rolling in.

In fact, they are drinking the blood of contemporary young people.

The speaker has no intention, but the listener has intention.

Zhang Yiqiu was able to become Guo Dan's secretary. She was also a very smart girl, and she immediately discovered a big opportunity. If even the big boss is sure of the idea, it will definitely work!

This is an opportunity!

She was still hesitant at first. She had worked for two years and finally saved some money, but house prices were rising more and more fiercely. She had thought about buying a house on her own several times, but she always backed away in fear.

What if house prices fall?

Years of hard work have been in vain.

But listening to what the big boss said, it seems that housing prices will have a lot of room to rise in the future. That’s no problem, just take action when it’s time to take action!

She secretly made up her mind that after returning this time, she would call her parents, borrow some money from home, and then use the money she had saved over the past few years to make a down payment and buy a house nearby!

At this moment, Zhang Yiqiu felt the magic of working next to a big shot. With casual words and deeds, she could change the fate of a small person like herself.

Choice is indeed more important than hard work!

How great would it be if I were the secretary of the big boss?

However, when she saw Ning Lu, who was as beautiful as a flower and looked like a fairy descending to earth in a painting, she became disheartened. With her own beauty, she might not be qualified.

No matter how great the big boss is, he is still a man.

Zhang Yiqiu has graduated several years ago. She has rich experience in the workplace and has a thorough understanding of men and women. She is far beyond what the nine new secretaries in the secretary's office of the board of directors can compare with.

After receiving a signal from the big boss, she continued.

In May of this year, she finally found a house. It was a large house with two bedrooms and one living room with a total area of ​​more than 80 square meters. Because it was a new house, the rent was even higher, reaching 6,500 yuan.

Fortunately, we can rent together.

What was vacant was a large bedroom, and beds were placed in the second bedroom and the living room. A total of 4 girls lived there. 2 second bedrooms and 2 living rooms. The four of them have to bear 4,000 yuan in rent, and the rest is borne by the big bedroom.

Zhang Yiqiu accepted it and moved in.

After going there, I discovered that the four girls who shared the apartment were all Internet practitioners. They all worked in nearby "small factories" with 1-2 years of working experience.

After getting to know each other, the four of them all expressed their strong admiration for her, and they all excitedly got close to her and added her on WeChat.

The first sentence is basically asking: "Do you still need people there? Can you help me?"

They are also Internet companies, and the gap is too big.

These small Internet factories nearby also require 996 and overtime work every week, but they do not have many company benefits such as housing subsidies, car subsidies, and communication subsidies.

Someone else specially sent her his resume and said, "Miss, I'm so envious of you. You have such a good job and can rent an entire room by yourself."

Guo Dan expressed this: "Even our Ziweixing employees and even my secretary have encountered so much trouble renting a house nearby. You can only imagine what kind of survival pressure the young people in other small companies will bear." A few years ago, those who worked overtime envied those who didn't work overtime. Now it's different, those who don't work overtime envy those who work overtime."

"Oh?" Zhou Buqi raised his eyebrows, "How do you say that?"

Guo Dandao: "Because of the salary and the rent. The rent is too high. If you want to survive, you must pursue high wages. Many companies don't need to work overtime. That's because there is too little business and stagnant development, which means the wages are very low. . Under the temptation of high salary and the pressure of rent, many people are looking forward to finding a 996 job."

Zhang Yiqiu nodded lightly, "When I was looking for a house, I met a lot of people renting houses and joined some groups. It's really like this. In this industry, there are levels. The ones at the bottom are those who don't work overtime. Except for a few For foreign companies, most of them can only live in the basement, dreaming of climbing up the ladder to find a high-paying job with overtime; if they move up a level, they will get the opportunity to work 996 overtime and enter a small company. They squeeze their heads to get into a big company, especially It’s a job like Ziweixing where you can get housing allowance.”

Zhou Buqi said: "What about the big companies? The employees of the big companies are all trying to get on the train to buy houses, and then harvest the young people who were like them, right?"

"ah?"

Zhang Yiqiu was slightly startled. She had never thought about it from this perspective. She wanted to buy a house just to make her life more comfortable. After listening to the big boss’s advice, I suddenly felt like I had an enlightenment.

Zhou Buqi sighed. Under the general trend of the times, he felt that he was powerless. "In this huge social algorithm, everyone is an insignificant flow in this competition for interests."

As soon as these words came out, Guo Dan praised him repeatedly, and felt more and more that the big boss was of very high standard.

Zhang Yiqiu was even more moved.

So why not herself?

Looking at Ning Lu aside... Well, she is indeed the famous person next to the chairman. She is fair-skinned, beautiful and has long legs. She is protected like a canary. She does not seem to show any insignificance towards herself. feelings and emotions.

The story is over.

Questions were also raised.

What a good question!

Today’s young people, especially those working hard in big cities, face housing problems.

How to deal with it?

too difficult!

Society is a high-speed machine. The current problem is just that a certain part of the machine is damaged and needs to be repaired or replaced.

what to do?

This requires the coordination of every gear in the entire machine, and one move affects the whole body. But the gears deep inside many machines cannot be changed.

Due to the limitations of his personal perspective, Zhang Yiqiu tentatively came up with an idea, "How about we build some employee dormitories and rent them to employees?"

"no."

Guo Dan immediately rejected the idea.

Selling a house won't work. Ziweixing has already made similar attempts before. Things there are too complicated and thankless, and it can also create an unfair mentality among employees.

Renting a house is even less feasible.

The responsibility is too great.

What if the dormitory catches fire?

What if there is a fight or vicious incident in the dormitory?

What if there is an earthquake and the dormitory building collapses?

Housing is a personal responsibility and each person is responsible for themselves, not a company. Many state-owned enterprises do this because they are responsible and can handle things if they happen.

As a private company that is about to go public, Ziweixing's stock price will inevitably collapse once some similar safety accident occurs, which will harm the interests of countless shareholders.

There is an even more important point.

Even if Ziweixing builds employee dormitories, it is still a company's business. Now the entire issue needs to be addressed to the whole society from a larger perspective.

Ning Lu was a little anxious, "We are an Internet company. Isn't the nature of the Internet peer-to-peer? The price of the rental market is so high now. It's actually very confusing. It's all caused by middlemen."

Zhou Buqi was a little funny, "Do you know?"

Ning Lu blushed slightly and said unconvinced: "I just checked and asked some people. In the rental market, most landlords are not the most profitable, but are the many middlemen who follow. The house is transferred to the second landlord, who entrusts the house to the real estate agency. The real estate agent may also entrust the house to the third, fourth, and fifth intermediary agencies. It changes hands layer by layer. The contract signed by the landlord is usually signed once. Several years. But the prices in the rental market always change in half a month or a month, and it’s all the middlemen who are doing this.”

Zhou Buqi waved his hand, "It's not that simple...and according to what you said, it's just treating the symptoms rather than the root cause."

Guo Dan smiled and said, "I think what Assistant Ning said makes sense. It's enough to treat the symptoms. We are businessmen. It's good to be able to try to treat the symptoms and improve the industry situation."
