Chapter 190: Moving into the Long-term Rental Project
The current situation in this society is that everyone is waiting for a job, and once they have a job, the factory will allocate housing.
Although it's said to be the factory's housing, it's actually given to people.
Only those who see no hope and urgently need housing will go for long-term rental.
So who is the target? Those without work but with money at home.
But twenty years? Then don't even think about it.
Over a thousand—who would be that sucker?
Yang Qing quickly changed the price again to 2 yuan.
The construction cost for low-end housing is around 180, mid-range about 220, and high-end around 280.
If you don't say that people nowadays have conscience, even the resistant housing is brick.
We didn't give you a mud house; a mud house could be settled for just a few dozen yuan.
Inside there's a kitchen and a heated bed, everything complete; though small like a sparrow, it has all five viscera.
After calculating the data, Yang Qing still set the target at ten years.
The rental period is divided into 5 years, 10 years, and 20 years.
For a 5-year lease, 3 yuan per month, 36 yuan per year, 180 yuan for five years.
For a 10-year lease, 2 yuan per month, 24 yuan per year, 240 yuan for ten years.
For a 20-year lease, a package price of 350 yuan.
The highlight is just one word: affordable.
Reasonable price, strong appeal.
The longer the term, the greater the discount.
Make those who rented for five years feel, no matter how they think, that ten years is more worthwhile; make those who rented for twenty years feel, no matter how they think, that twenty years is more worthwhile.
Mainly a psychological battle.
In this day and age when every penny must be pinched, this appeal is bound to explode.
Wan Ling watched from the side, anxious to no end.
"Brother-in-law, the rent is uniform, can't be messed with, must be 3 yuan."
"If you do this, you'll make a mistake."
"Disrupting market order."
"How would those who pay monthly think? This isn't conducive to unity."
Yang Qing didn't even bother to respond to her, and quickly posted the price list.
"We're lowering prices, not raising them—what are you afraid of?"
"If you want to get things done, you need to have guts; if this won't work and that won't allow it, then what the hell are you doing?"
"As long as it benefits the masses, then we've done right."
"If it's not beneficial to the masses, then it's right and also wrong."
Wan Ling was left stunned by Yang Qing's words, feeling something was off but couldn't say what; overall, she felt his words made a lot of sense.
"Alright, brother-in-law, you decide; whatever you say goes. I'll hand over my ninety catties to you—don't cheat me."
Yang Qing also saw that Wan Ling didn't treat money as money, which made him a bit bolder.
For someone with background, this little matter is hardly worth mentioning.
The key is they indeed didn't do wrong; they lowered the rent.
"Close the door, let's go, shall we go sweep the streets?"
"Sweep the streets? Why would we go sweep the streets? The street office already has people for that."
Yang Qing bumped and closed the door.
Wan Ling also learned what ground promotion was that day.
One and a half months passed in a row.
The long-term rental project was already known to everyone in Hongxing Street Office.
That day, Yang Qing had just returned home not long ago when a loud shout came from the front courtyard.
"Liu Guangtian…"
Yang Qing was startled by that shout, and Chen Hong came over and whispered.
"I heard Liu Guang Qi ran away; someone saw him this morning."
"What?"
"Ran away?"
"They haven't even collected the gift money, and they ran away?"
Chen Hong indicated she didn't know.
"Maybe they also wanted to learn from us."
Yang Qing thought it over and felt a bit unable to decide, possible yet also impossible.
After all, San Da Ye already received it, so Liu Guang Qi shouldn't have.
"Let's go, let's go check it out."
Arriving at the front courtyard, it was already crowded with people; in Er Da Ye's home, the table had tipped over onto the ground, the ground a mess of spilled food and rice, with several steamed buns rolling about.
Meanwhile, Liu Guangtian was holding a stool and confronting Liu Hai Zhong.
"What does Liu Guang Qi leaving have to do with us? On what grounds do you hit us?"
"Isn't that your eldest son? How come you don't want him?"
Just that Guangtian's mouth is truly vicious.
Just go right for his father's soft spot.
"You bastards, if it weren't for you two, how could your brother have left?"
"It's all your fault; you forced your brother to leave."
"I'll beat you to death."
Liu Hai Zhong brandished his belt and charged at the Liu Guangtian brothers like a tank.
Liu Guangtian immediately used a stool to press against Liu Hai Zhong's stomach.
"You hit, you hit, Old Liu, you too will grow old; when that time comes, don't say we brothers are unfilial."
"I'll finish saying it today."
"If you still can't tell right from wrong, we'll see later whether you're the one who suffers or I am."
Er Dama was startled by Liu Guangtian's words; the eldest son ran away, and the second son also fell out with them.
"Old Liu, Old Liu, we speak but don't fight."
"As long as he hands over Guangqi's position, we'll let it go."
Old Liu was also furious beyond measure.
"Rebel son, rebel son, you rebel son—forcing your elder brother away isn't enough; you also defy your father and threaten him."
"Today either you have me and I don't have you, or I have you and you don't have me."
He grew even more agitated as he spoke.
But the shout rang out, and the belt wouldn't come off.
He Yuzhu thought Liu Guangtian's actions were a bit excessive.
"Liu Guangtian, you are rebellious and unfilial; do you still want to stay in the compound?"
Liu Guangtian spat at him.
"He lets Liu Hai Zhong torment us brothers every day, yet forbids us from resisting."
"Sha Zhu, your brain's not right; don't come out to embarrass yourself."
He Yuzhu was angered by Liu Guangtian.
"Er Da Ye, why keep such an unfilial descendant? Drive him out; our compound can't accommodate such an unfilial person."
After all, he's his own son; though disliked, Liu Hai Zhong has never considered abandoning him.
"Did you hear that? Keep coming at me; I'll starve you to death."
Liu Hai Zhong scoffed, curling his lip.
"Sha Zhu is foolish, are you foolish too?"
"If you haven't studied, at least restrain yourself a bit."
"If you dare disregard our lives, we'll sue you for abandonment. Understand?"
This round of mockery gave Yang Qing a full score.
Liu Guangtian, that guy, studied Sun Tzu's Art of War and also law; he's got a future.
His momentum is already not weaker than Liu Hai Zhong's.
Sha Zhu was bewildered by Liu Guangtian; he turned his head and asked.
"Daughter-in-law, is what he said true?"
Liu Shumin nodded.
"What they said is true; in the future, if you don't understand, don't meddle—it's shameful, right?"
"We let you study, you didn't; now when you need it, you're stunned, huh?"
Everyone in the compound heard Liu Shumin's words.
Damn, this actually happened?
Liu Guangtian stared at Liu Hai Zhong with an arrogant, clearly provocative look.
"You, I..."
Liu Hai Zhong suddenly became at a loss.
Liu Guangtian still wasn't going to let him go.
"You also abuse children—that's a crime; plus abandonment. Old Liu, do you think the steel mill will keep you?"
"Study less, speak less; if you have a bit of status, you think you're the king of heaven."
"You you you... I..."
Er Dama, seeing Er Da Ye about to die of anger, hurriedly said.
"Liu Guangtian, don't be angry at your dad; your brother left, and your dad is already suffering."
Facing Er Dama, Liu Guangtian couldn't be so ruthless.
He fell silent and continued to stand off against Liu Hai Zhong.
