Starting from the deputy company commander of the Soldier Assault Team

Seeing that Zhang Anbang's expression remained unchanged, Yuan Lang, unaware that Zhang Anbang hadn't reacted, continued with a grin, "Of course, the benefits are also great. This building is on the ninth floor, the top floor."

This location has an attic. Because it is indivisible, the attic is given away for free and is not included in the property area, but the right to use it belongs entirely to you.

The usable area is about 60 square meters. The rest of the space has a low ceiling, so we could use that for storage.

That's exactly what I did. You can do the same and partition off a two-bedroom, one-living room, one-bathroom apartment like I did.

"How about it? Is it suitable? Is it top-of-the-line?"

"Perfect, perfect, amazing! I'll buy it!" Zhang Anbang didn't hesitate at all, but he felt a little unreal. Such a good thing had just happened to him, and he hadn't even spent much money.

He could understand the various subsidies, cost price, and discounts, but the key was that such a good location, such a top-of-the-line house, built in 2000, was left empty, like a house waiting for someone.

These days, houses are in high demand, let alone this kind of house.

Without asking any further questions, Zhang Anbang decided to take over the house, which, including the attic partition, had five bedrooms, three living rooms, one kitchen, and two bathrooms—a luxurious house.

Besides, why ask so many questions? Once you've bought the house, that's all that matters. Yuan Lang would never cheat him on this, especially with his Uncle Tie around.

Neither of them are the type to engage in illegal or irregular practices.

Yuan Lang smiled, admiring Zhang Anbang's decisive nature. There were some things he didn't say, and there was no need to say them; some things exist for a reason.

Yes, the houses themselves are in high demand.

These top-tier elevator apartments, located in a prime military medical area, boast unparalleled safety, amenities, and convenient transportation, making them highly sought-after.

The surrounding residential properties are already approaching 6,000 yuan per square meter, with better locations starting at just over 6,000 yuan per square meter, indicating huge potential for appreciation.

The reason why the rooms were vacant for two years and there was a situation where people were waiting for the rooms was because of the nature of their workplace.

These indivisible top-floor units with attics were reserved before the units were planned and are considered their internal units.

This was resolved internally, bypassing the grassroots level and avoiding transparency; the excess portion was also specially approved for reduction at cost price.

Many of them had retired due to illness, such as their former chief of staff, so the battalion commander chose the area around 301 for convenience.

Of course, this kind of special housing reserved internally is not unique to their unit; many other units also have it.

Some people genuinely used special channels due to the special nature of their work units, while others... also used special channels.

Larger units, such as those over 140 square meters, scenic buildings, lakeside locations, and roadside locations, are generally reserved for military leaders, division commanders, retired senior officers, and units with classified information.

Independent courtyard houses, row houses, and detached houses are reserved for military officers of rank or above, retired senior officers, and individuals who have made special contributions.

In newly built government-built housing and affordable housing, the most desirable units are usually reserved for headquarters, military region headquarters, and commanding officers of combat units.

Priority will also be given to those who died on duty, the families of martyrs, and wounded or disabled cadres.

Various situations exist, and since contributions vary, there will certainly be differences in treatment. We cannot let heroes shed blood and tears.

While there are undeniably some isolated cases, the overall principle is to reward based on work and contribution.

If you really end up being bullied like you do online, then grab your weapons, go to the front gate, kneel down and cry, just cry without saying a word. If you're from Lao Lu, go to Lao Hai; if you're from Lao Hai, go to Lao Kong; if you're from Lao Kong, go to Lao Lu...

"Squad leader, how much is this?" Zhang Anbang asked with a grin, as if he had won the lottery.

Yuan Lang put down his cup. "This is very simple for us. It only takes a few steps and will be done in no time. You don't even need to leave the camp."

Go directly to the Logistics and Barracks Section and fill out another form. After that, find the political commissar to sign it. After he signs it, take your officer's certificate, rank certificate, and housing status certificate and return them to the Barracks Section.

Once they've confirmed everything is correct, they'll directly forward it to the finance department. The finance department will calculate the subsidy amount for you, you'll pay the amount, and then they'll issue you a receipt. That's it.

Zhang Anbang had never bought a house before and didn't know the specific procedures, so he thought it was too simple and asked incredulously, "It's that simple? That's it?"

Yuan Lang smiled and said, "You think it's that difficult? Of course, there are still procedures to follow, but you don't need to worry about them. Someone will take care of the documents for you and notify you to pick them up when you arrive."

What is issued is the property ownership certificate for the sale of existing military housing, also known as the housing reform property ownership registration certificate. With this certificate, the military recognizes full ownership, which can be inherited, but it is not allowed to be traded on the market for the time being.

They can enjoy the same benefits as others as usual, including residency registration.

As for the official property ownership certificates issued locally, that takes a very long time. It requires approval from the General Logistics Department, and the military region submits the materials to the local housing management bureau for separate household registration.

Because the coordination between the military and local authorities is slow and the land procedures are complicated, it can take three to five years at the fastest, and ten or eight years at the slowest, but it's not your problem to worry about it.

The military region will handle everything and distribute it to you later.

"Okay, I'll go take care of it right away. Anyway, I don't have any tasks or anything to do today," Zhang Anbang said impatiently, grabbing the passbook and heading out the door.

"Haha," Yuan Lang couldn't help but laugh as he watched Zhang Anbang rush out the door.

But the thought of having a good comrade-in-arms or a good brother as a neighbor in the future is quite comfortable.

At the barracks section, Zhang Anbang first took the form, filled in all the information on the spot, and then took it to Political Commissar Qin Gang for his signature.

As a fully-fledged, officially organized military unit, Old A had all the necessary departments—headquarters, logistics, finance—and was no different from any other military unit.

The only difference is the tasks they undertake.

The process was completed quickly, and Zhang Anbang walked out of the finance department.

Holding the signed and stamped agreement for the sale of existing military housing in his hand, he still felt a little unreal.

I bought a house, in a place I never even dared to dream of before.

Moreover, this was the first time in my two lifetimes that I bought a house, and it was a luxurious duplex in a prime location with an attic. It was that simple.

I didn't see the model apartment, didn't go to the sales office, didn't visit the site, didn't take out a loan, I didn't do anything.

It was just a simple process at the brigade headquarters, and that was it. All you had to do was wait and see; you didn't have to worry about anything else.

It was so simple it was almost unbelievable. Most importantly, after paying all the money, he still had a huge sum of 115,000 yuan left in his bankbook.

In addition, he also has a housing provident fund, so he can easily find time to buy another commercial property as an investment.

Back then, I could have applied for a housing provident fund loan and used the money in my savings account as a down payment—perfect!

I just chatted with my comrades in the barracks department, and it seems that there are signs of a military housing fund policy coming into effect. When the official document is issued, we'll see if we can go directly to the military housing fund for a loan, which would be much more convenient.
