My Lord, you need to stand up!

Chapter 213: Soft words, reasonable
What Weidong demonstrated was the huge consumption power brought about by the release of productivity.

This impact is even more far-reaching than reversing the Third Line factories and promoting industrial and commercial reform.

Because this profoundly reveals why reform is necessary.

Of course, the old security guard himself didn't realize it. He just used the loudspeaker to signal the whole scene to everyone in the moving company.

These lazy people from former state-owned units who live in old villas are jealous.

Look at those old ladies who are obviously dressed like urban poor. They are so rich that they wave their money to register and then queue up for the lottery to choose a house!

A brand new residential building is right in front of you.

It was a six-story tube-shaped building with three units and staircases, the most common dormitory structure with two households per staircase in the 1980s.

The small two-bedroom apartment comes with a kitchen and bathroom, providing a clean, tidy and comfortable life.

The strong men who could lift hundreds of pounds of objects without breathing when they were young are now gasping for breath like cows pulling bellows.

Let Weidong goad them: "When we were recruiting workers at the pharmaceutical factory half a year ago, they were even poorer than you. They even lived in illegal sheds. At least you had the company building to live in, but they had the advantage of being able to keep working and not let the factory go to waste. After a few months of work, you can have a down payment of one or two thousand yuan. After that, you can deduct a little money every month, and the new house is yours."

He didn't even bother to mention that this new house, which cost just over ten thousand yuan, would definitely increase in value several times in ten years, and more than ten times in twenty or thirty years. If it were to be demolished, the profit would probably be dozens of times.

Anyone who follows him to buy a house from now on should probably set up a longevity tablet for him at home.

Someone couldn't help but say: "Manager, what do you say?"

Weidong was like dangling a carrot in front of an ox, a horse, or a donkey: "Find a job. There's a lot of transportation work on the construction site every day. Shouldn't my transportation company give it priority? Does your wife at home have any packaging work? If you spend all day playing cards and fishing, don't expect anyone to give you a house. Why would you expect pie in the sky?"

The good thing about the moving company is that it doesn't have so many twists and turns. I had watched the construction site for an hour or two before, and after discussing it together, we decided to take on the job of transporting a large amount of glass.

Weidong was secretly pleased that he was waving his whip quite well.

Shen Cuiyue, wearing a mask, came around and stood behind him, whispering, "I also signed up and chose a condom."

Rang Weidong was about to say, why are you arguing with the employees about this, but then he thought about it, everyone gets rich, so he nodded.

Shen Cuiyue said, "I told you to pay the full amount tomorrow when the house is delivered, and you can choose a corner unit on the first floor. Then no one will know if you come here to steal people."

Let Weidong laugh and scold: "I still want to steal?!"

Shen Cuiyue suddenly realized: "Yes, yes, our master always asks for it openly."

Wu Shengyun also quietly moved behind Weidong and murmured with regret, "It would be great if you could add a hundred or eighty yuan per square meter to these 180 apartments. You really don't make a penny?"

Shen Cuiyue's tone turned cold: "Do you think Rang Ye is the one who earns those hundred or eighty? This is to save the city's reputation. What are you talking about?"

Let Weidong also learn her indifference: "Housing system reform."

Wu Shengyun immediately said respectfully: "I understand."

Anyway, Wei Dong felt that Shen Lao San must be the same as himself. In his mind, a public screen displayed subtitles saying "If someone is too nice to you without any reason, he is either a traitor or a thief!"

But just a few seconds later, Wu Shengyun said again: "I just saw that all the houses were purchased from the real estate construction company with the company's funds, and then distributed to the employees?"

This was the point that made Wei Dong let go at the real estate company meeting today: "Well, I originally wanted to confirm that our company had the qualifications to sell houses to employees, but the city emphasized that we had to establish the first private real estate company to be able to sell houses. Forget it, let's not be the first to do it, and just consider it a distribution."

Wu Shengyun's idea was not to start a real estate business. "Then, can we mortgage these properties to other banks and raise more funds to invest in our current major construction projects?"

Rang Weidong was still holding the electric speaker. At this moment, he really wanted to pick it up and shout to the people around him: "Come and see, there is a person who has traveled through time and space and been reborn!"

Damn, isn’t this the common mortgage scam thirty years from now?

Although he has never owned a house, he has heard countless such cases from colleagues and tax cases.

In the eyes of some people, all assets, whether tangible or intangible, such as real estate, factories, equipment, and even intellectual property, patents, and equity, can be financial collateral.

The mortgaged funds can be used for long-term investment, short-term investment in stocks and bonds, or even simple gambling on sports and money. If you make money, the mortgaged property is still yours, a bicycle becomes a motorcycle, and one house becomes two. Of course, if you lose, you will lose everything.

And following this simple model, real estate developers, car dealers, and micro-loans all play the same game, except it's more complicated and confusing.

It turns out that Wu Shengyun is this kind of person.

He slowly turned around and looked at the young man who was thinner and more handsome than himself. "I don't care how long you plan to work with us, but please remember this: the standard by which I measure business is whether I can increase productivity, not how much money I can make."

As the boss, it’s cool to just say this.

There was even a bit of that "I don't care about money" aura. But Weidong, still a veteran security guard, felt the need to explain clearly: "It's like when we practice martial arts. I want the ability to shatter multiple layers of wood with one punch, not to bully those who don't have the skills to steal their money. If you can't understand this, get out of here."

Wu Shengyun looked at him and asked, "Then why did we develop the ability to break wooden boards?"

Weidong had to think about his casual metaphor again: "Only when you become stronger can you see the world as big as it is. You can go wherever you want and do whatever you want. Compared to just focusing on money... I think they are two different realms. Think about it yourself."

It was just a simple resistance to financial products. Weidong didn't understand any profound truth and turned his head away before he was exposed.

I heard a respectful voice behind me: "Shengyun understands."

It is inevitable that there is a sense of satisfaction in being a boss and being complimented no matter how much nonsense you say. I quickly remind myself that this may be a poisonous snake and I must be on guard at all times. It is also a warning to myself not to get carried away.

Little did they know that the backs of the three of them standing here were captured by the reporter from Jiangzhou Daily under the guidance of the city's secretary.

The next morning it was on the front page of the newspaper.

This newspaper is not just an ordinary city newspaper.

Usually the front page contains major national policy news, the second page contains Jiangzhou local policy news, and the third page contains other news such as people's livelihood and economy.

This article, "Reform the housing allocation system and promote a variety of paid housing," was like a bombshell, spreading directly from Jiangzhou to the entire country.

The welfare housing distribution system has been implemented for decades.

In the current situation where the type of housing one lives in is determined by one’s job position across the country, will it become the case that just having money will allow one to live in a good house?

Anyway, as newspapers and magazines across the country reprinted and summarized the article, Jiangzhou set a precedent before other parts of the country, and the housing reform measures it launched before National Day caused a huge wave.

The backs of three young people standing in front of the new dormitory building also spread everywhere with this kind of news.

I used this picture for everything I could think of, even if I didn’t know why.

Of course, Weidong's muscular back in a shirt, jeans and sneakers, Shen Cuiyue's graceful secretary figure in a shirt, suit and skirt, and Wu Shengyun's stylish and neat look in a shirt, trousers and leather shoes are indeed eye-catching.

It seems to be a metaphorical expression of young people's active support for the reform of the housing distribution system.

Because the Brick Stage’s “Report Series 2 on the Forefront of Reform and Opening Up” on the night of the house sale also highlighted this youthful feeling.

The rhythm is different from the first episode, which goes from the quiet mountains to the abandoned third-line factories, and then to the vigorous reform and progress.

The second episode is the opposite and it’s super lively from the start!

The first shot is the bustling Free Market Night Market.

Directly from the reporter in the night market, he raised his camera and filmed the surrounding scenes from a high vantage point.

Barbecue stalls, spicy hot pot, and skewers, all with good color, aroma and taste.

The sounds of hawking, cheering, and children playing are all pleasant to the ears!
Then, suddenly, silence fell, and the old leader sat in front of the camera with a calm expression: "Our Shangzhou is an impoverished mountainous area with a population of over seven million. The towering mountains and steep cliffs require us to be extremely calm and cautious on the road of reform, because if we are not careful, the people will suffer losses!"

The camera suddenly pulls back to the daytime of the free market. Farmers stand at the cement platform and bargain with citizens to sell eggs and agricultural and sideline products. Small vendors are shouting that they are selling high-quality floral cloth, saying that they have limited stock and only a little is left today.

Then it was extremely quiet again. The industrial park director, Lao Tian, ​​was speaking with a slightly nervous and awkward voice. "So, we're going to learn from the country's opening of the Pengzhen Special Economic Zone in the south and Shangzhou's opening of an industrial experimental park in Beijiaochang. The first thing we're going to do is to create a free market and centralize the previously chaotic farmers' markets, the free and undisciplined transactions, and the tail-end businesses..."

The camera was suddenly pulled out again, turning into that super busy morning when tens of thousands of people were crowded at the three-way intersection.

You can see the free market with red flags flying in front, the "Industrial Park Service Hall" under construction across the street, and on the right is the "Shangzhou Feiyan Sanitary Napkin Factory" where a large number of people are crowding to sign up for work. Even the signboard is a temporary one-meter square diamond cut out of white cloth. Each word is written separately and pasted in a bamboo winnowing basket and hung on the door of the original hemp spinning factory.

But the more makeshift it is, the more obvious it is that it is not a fake staged photo.

There are so many people working together.

The camera quietly pulled out this time, and it turned out to be Dong Xueying, which shocked Weidong and Dong Xueqing: "What! Why is it you?!"

The young woman who was breastfeeding her baby also opened her mouth and took several seconds to swallow her saliva: "They, they interviewed me, I thought they were just saying a few words casually."

The tightness of his white short-sleeved shirt made it easy to overlook the response: "Indeed, due to industrial upgrading, the Jiangzhou Feiyan Sanitary Napkin Factory transferred all its equipment to our Shangzhou factory, helping us build a daily production capacity of 250,000 packs of sanitary napkins. Leveraging Shangzhou's strategic location at the mouth of the Three Gorges, we can now cover all provinces and cities along the Yangtze River, providing the warmest protection for women..."

Her Mandarin was quite poor, and her words were a bit soft and limp, which made Dong Xueqing giggle.

It perfectly helped Jiangzhou's private enterprises to withdraw, bringing the incident to a successful conclusion.
