The auction of the haunted house came to an end.

Just when Yuan Guang and Shi Qian were dejected, they heard an unbelievable number: "The starting price of this suite is 300,000."

The two suddenly looked up at the auction platform, and Bai Liu and his party who heard the price also looked over with interest.

The auctioneer flipped through the catalog with his head down, and read the introduction without any emotion: "——This is a 2.45-square-meter custom-made house, on the 18th floor, located on the outskirts of Sunshine City, and it is a supporting facility for District E. One, after sharing the shared area, the physical area is about 2 square meters, there are toilets and kitchens, no water, electricity and electricity grids, and there are hospitals, supermarkets and transportation stations nearby, which can accommodate one person.”

"The previous house slave died suddenly at his job, so it was withdrawn from the auction."

The auctioneer raised his head, his tone indifferent: "The starting price is 300,000——"

Yuan Guang nervously held up the card of 310,000 yuan, looked around, and there were still some people vying for it, but unexpectedly, there were very few people raising cards for such a cheap house, which was the same as before. The scene in the scramble for a house is completely different, and some people are counting their cards, and these people also have obvious fear and hesitation on their faces:

"305,000."

"306,000..."

"Thirty...sorry, I won't take pictures, I'm sorry, I'm sorry."

Yuan Guang and Shi Qian looked at each other strangely, and after confirming that they had a high probability of being able to take pictures of this suite, they discussed in a low voice:

"Why did someone shoot this set? It's very cheap, only 300,000."

"It's too small, and it doesn't have electricity, water, and electricity. Is it really the reason why it can't live?"

"No way, there was a house in District B before, which was a little larger than this one, 3 square meters, with a basement, and electricity. The starting price of 470,000 is a crazy grab."

"Is the location too bad?"

"I'm here to shoot haunted houses, I don't think they care about the location..."

The more Shi Qian looked at it, the more she felt something was wrong: "I feel like you guys are afraid of this house."

Yuan Guang became more and more puzzled: "This group of people are all filming haunted houses, what other houses can scare them?"

Yuan Guang and Shi Qian tried to ask the people around them what was wrong with the house, but these people kept secret and refused to go into details. Only one person who talked to them before kindly persuaded them. Everyone said: "Don't shoot, this house is really dead if you live in it."

"Is there any undead living in this house?" Shi Qian asked in confusion from the bottom of her heart.

The man walked in, glanced left and right, leaned close to Shi Qian's ear and whispered: "If you live in a haunted house, you won't necessarily die, but if you live in this house, you will definitely die. Don't take pictures!"

But if you don't shoot...

Yuan Guang hesitated for a moment. We will shoot everything today. Just as the two of them were thinking about it, a deep male voice came from behind:

"Three hundred and twenty thousand."

Yuan Guang and Shi Qian turned their heads subconsciously. When they saw that the person holding the placard was the tall and burly Tang Erda, they immediately took a breath, shrank their heads, turned around and quickly entered the crowd. She concealed herself doubly, not daring to show her air.

"Are you still filming Shi Qian?" Yuan Guang asked in a low voice.

"Fuck! Bai Liu's team is here, we will definitely see it when we take pictures!" Shi Qian said gloomily, "This room can only be given up to us first."

The auctioneer, as if he was afraid that Tang Er would go back on his word, quickly smashed his hammer and sold the deal: "This gentleman, please come up and claim this house worth 320,000 yuan!"

Tang Er tensely stepped forward, swiped the ID card of a recruiter with a cold face and paid 320,000 yuan, then quickly took away the real estate certificate, and left with Bai Liu and his party. Looking from the back, there is a faint rush, panic and unnaturalness of being a thief for the first time.

Yuan Guang, who was hiding in the crowd, looked at each other with Shi Qian as if in a heartbeat, and asked quietly, "Tell me, how did you get your money?"

"If I guess wrong..." Before Shi Qian finished speaking, the auctioneer let out a scream from the side, pointing in the direction Tang Erda left: "Patrol team Hurry up and catch the person who just swiped the card! It’s someone who swiped someone else’s card!”

Yuan Guang and Shi Qian: "..."

Ah, sure enough.

"Fortunately, we directly forced some recruiters to write checks..." Yuan Guang patted his chest in fear, "It's very dangerous, otherwise we will be arrested."

Shi Qian looked at the direction Bai Liu was leaving, and slowly frowned: "There is a house worth 320,000 yuan in District E, what's going on?"

zone e.

After a few detours, Bailiu and the others simply and neatly threw off the following patrol team, and went straight to the location written on the real estate certificate in District E.

"...Route 444, No. 18 Street..." Mu Sicheng complained while reading the address on the real estate certificate, "Isn't this road number too unlucky? No wonder it's so cheap."

Liu Jiayi glanced at Mu Sicheng: "I don't think such things as auspicious road numbers will affect the housing prices in Sunshine City."

"People here shouldn't care about these things anymore." Tang Erda looked around solemnly, "As long as they can survive, they should be willing to live anywhere."

Mu Ke frowned and asked: "But they would rather live in a haunted house than here. For such a cheap house, there were no more than five people who raised their cards just now. Why?"

Bai Liu didn't rush: "You'll know when you go."

Compared with the city center made of reinforced concrete, District E is located in a remote location. It is located on the outskirts of the city. The road surface is full of potholes and mud after the rain. The entertainment facilities in the community, such as walking machines and slides, are rusty. Rusted, collapsed, as human-dimensional as the road surface.

Although the buildings in the community are also high-rise buildings, the walls are very old at first glance. The paint, plaster and tiles are all peeling off to varying degrees, and some are covered with green rattan plants. There is an old house of ten years old.

The entire e district is filled with an air of decay.

The people who live in these old houses are old and not young, and those who poke out from the windows of the houses to dry clothes are old grandpas and old ladies, with gray hair, showing their old appearance, and obvious bruises on their faces. Most of the clothes to hang are faded and whitened overalls after washing, and the overalls are either patched or at least a few patches.

The buildings are all the same, and there is no landmark building. Even the style of each room and the clothes hanging on the balcony are similar. Soon Mu Sicheng became dizzy: "This place Why are they all the same everywhere, how do I get to Route 444?"

"Ask the way." Tang Erda looked around with the real estate certificate, and saw a pair of old people who were slowly walking down from the walker, supporting each other, "Hello, how about No. 444 Road, District E?" Walk?"

The old couple heard Tang Erda's voice asking for directions, and looked up at Tang Erda. When he saw the faces of the two old people clearly, Tang Erda's gaze paused for a moment.

These two old people, a man and a woman, have cloudy eyeballs and ashes. From the edge of their mouths, the bridge of their noses is covered with age spots as dense as bugs, and they breathe out a stench of rotting organs. , A yellowish-green red blood pus was flowing from the ear and nasal cavity, dripping drop by drop onto the ground, but the ground could not absorb it.

These two old people are so old that they have gone through the extreme of the adjective "old" that normal people can imagine, and it even makes people feel that they are like... two corpses that can move.

"Are you..." Tang Erda glanced at the walker.

The old man replied tremblingly: "I'm sick, and I just exercised with my wife."

"If you're sick, you should have a good rest." Tang Er held the two of them firmly, frowning and asked, "Where's your daughter?"

The old lady next to her shook her head: "We can't rest, we have to go to work."

"Go to work?!" Mu Sicheng helped support the old lady, and asked incredulously, "Mother-in-law, you still have to go to work at such a great age?"

The old lady gave Mu Sicheng a strange look: "That's right, if you don't go to work, you can get the money."

The old man next to him nodded approvingly: "The two of us still have to pay the mortgage."

For a while, everyone was silent, only Bai Liu stepped forward slowly, and helped the master from Tang Erda: "Are you borrowing a young man?"

The master trembled and compared a seven: "My wife and I took out the loan together, and the loan lasted for 70 years. I started working when I was fifteen, and now I have ten years to pay off the loan."

"You have to exercise your body well to continue working and repaying the loan." The master patted Bai Liu and supported him as if educating young people, "Don't avoid work because of illness, it's wrong, you see, I After working hard for 60 years, I will finally be able to have my own house soon.”

The old lady sighed: "It's a pity that there is nothing here in District E now. In the early years, when District E was full of young people, it was as lush as District A, and housing prices were high. It's a pity that only us old people live in it now." here."

"We are getting old and lack of energy. When we were young, we could work seven or eight jobs a day and couldn't earn much money. Hospitals and schools, which are high-consumption places, couldn't continue to operate. They all moved out a few years ago. In recent years, there are not even a few restaurants left around here." The old man shook his head.

"The hospital and school will move away?" Mu Sicheng said in surprise, "You cannot rent a house here. They should buy the facade to make a hospital and school, right? How to move?"

The old man said: "Of course we have to move if we can't do it. Those who are hospitals and schools, although the fees are very high, we can't understand it. The mortgage to buy a facade to do business is very high. Yes, the people in the hospital and school are also living very hard, earning 50 yuan, and forty-eight yuan have to be used to pay the mortgage."

"The restaurant is the same. A dish costs 70 yuan, and 65 yuan has to be used to pay the mortgage. It is difficult to do business." The old woman shook her head and echoed, "Everyone is just earning hard money, really. If you can’t keep going and can’t pay the mortgage, you can only die, and the real estate will be taken back after you die, isn’t that just moving away?”

Mu Sicheng opened his mouth to say something, but in the end he couldn't say anything.

Soon the old man cheered up again: "Although the current supporting facilities in District E are not very good, the houses in District E are still very good."

The old grandma also had a happy smile on her face: "Fortunately, we bought it early, otherwise we would have to eat it now."

The master also bowed his head solemnly as a matter of fact, and commented rather contemptuously, his beards on both sides trembling in anger: "Yes, this group of young people don't do anything and want to live a happy life. Well, if you want a good house again, if you don’t work hard and don’t gain money, you just know how to eat the next generation, it’s really embarrassing!”

"What is it?" Mu Sicheng was a little dizzy, "What next generation?"

The master glanced at the young man who knew nothing, and explained in a good-tempered manner: "It's the property right period."

"The houses in District E were bought early, and the property rights were granted for one hundred years, that is, you can live in this house for almost one hundred years, so we can borrow for seventy years, but now real estate Businesses are unwilling to give such a long period of property rights."

"Yes." The old lady shook her head, "I remember that there is only a 20-year property right period, and the real estate developer will take it back after 20 years, so the loan must be repaid within 20 years, amortized every month The mortgage is very high, and many young people can’t afford to pay it off.”

Tang Er next to him frowned after inquiring: "What is Nian Xiao?"

I have only heard of gnawing on the old, but I have heard of gnawing on the young.

The master glanced left and right at this group of young people who didn't know anything, hesitated for a moment, and said: "It is to advance the future, let your future children help you repay the loan, a new research by the five major developers." loan repayment model."

"If you are interested, there is a new building opened in District C today, you can go to ‌ to ask."

New real estate in District C.

The magnificent real estate sales center opened three days ago, and there were countless people who came and went to inquire about it. Now that it has finally opened, a group of people are like hungry men who have been hungry for more than ten days and smelled the taste of a big meal, swarming crazy into it.

On both sides of the door stood ferocious patrols with guns/arms, high-voltage electric batons and steel forks to maintain order.

Yuan Guang and Shi Qian were totally sucked in by the swarming crowd. After they got in, they squeezed together for a few seconds and their heads were dazed, and it took a while for them to come back to their senses.

There are so many people who come to the new real estate, far beyond Yuan Guang and Shi Qian's expectations. They just heard the news and planned to come and have a look. After all, the price of the new real estate is too scary. It's not something that those who only have 60 million can afford.

But...Compared to auctioning haunted houses one by one, not every house can be auctioned. Buying new real estate should be the most reliable and ruthless way to pass the game.

Originally, Yuan Guang and Shi Qian thought that not many people would come to see such an expensive new real estate, because they couldn't afford it at all. As a result, when they bought it, the door of the real estate sales center was still open. Early on, I took pictures of the dragon.

There was a mixed bag of people in the queue, everyone. Yuan Guang and Shi Qian saw that they were well-dressed, and at first glance they were ordinary citizens, there were also sallow-faced house slaves who were on the verge of collapse, and there were some chest slaves. There is still a resume card ‌, a temporary resident in scanty clothes.

This extremely mixed crowd structure confused Yuan Guang and others even more.

Why should a citizen buy a house again after buying it? Isn't the house slave paying off the loan? Why do you want to come to a new property? Can you afford it? Temporary residents don't have the ability to repay the loan at all, and they can't even make up the down payment. Why should they come and see?

‌‌‌The crowd got involved, and when they came back to their senses, an enthusiastic salesman helped them up, and politely asked with a smile on their faces: "Hello, Are you here to buy a house?"

Yuan Guang was flattered when he helped him up: "Yes, yes."

The npcs related to real estate here are all arrogant and arrogant. When they see that you can't afford the cost of buying a house with your clothes, they can't wait to look at people with their noses, and wave you impatiently like chasing flies. After driving away, Yuan Guang thought that the sales npc who came to the sales office would pay more attention to the dishes, but he thought that his attitude was so good.

"The real estate market is still open today. Do you want to check the location and location first? I am Xiaodong, a real estate salesman in District C with number 1534. If you have any questions, you can ask me." Xiaodong smiled and moved quickly. Helping Shi Qian and Yuan Guang to sit down, "Excuse me, is there any drink or tea you like to drink?"

Yuan Guang said vigilantly, "Coke, is there any?"

Shi Qian: "Chrysanthemum tea is fine, thank you."

Xiaodong smiled and shook his head, and helped the earphone: "Please prepare me a cup of Coke and a cup of chrysanthemum tea, okay, I'll get it for you, please take a moment."

Looking at the back of Xiaodong going away, Shi Qian and Yuan Guang took a quick look at the surrounding situation, and found that all sales targets, whether homeowners, house slaves or temporary residents, were very enthusiastic, as if they were all Our potential customers, everyone can afford a house.

Shi Qian calmly said: "It's so hot, there must be a demon if something goes wrong, let's ask in detail later."

Yuan Guang shook his head heavily.

Xiaodong soon came over with a tray, and she handed the cola and chrysanthemum tea on the tray to Shi Qian and Yuan Guang respectively, opened the map of the real estate and introduced to them: "Everyone, why are you here this time?" What kind of room do you want to see?"

"We have small houses here, 12-16 square meters, which are very suitable for a family. After removing the average area, there are still more than 11 square meters. It is a very good choice for a family of three."

"Of course, if there is a need to raise more children, a house type of 20-25 square meters is also highly recommended. If the average area is removed, it can still be 20+ square meters, which can accommodate three or four brothers and sisters."

"Compared to this apartment type, you can design two folding beds and an invisible bed when you are doing decoration, and this big cabinet is in front of the bedside of parents and children. You can only You can't see each other's head when you see each other's feet, because each other has privacy."

Xiaodong said, showing a slightly narrow smile: "And this will not affect the married life between you."

Yuan Guang and Shi Qian stared blankly at this small room of 20 feet. There was only a large cabinet squeezed between the parents and the children, and they could see the feet on the opposite side. Under the circumstances, we still have to live a married life...

And next to Yuan Guang and Shi Qian are a man and a woman who are looking at this house type. After hearing this, they nodded in agreement and said: "Yes, this way there is privacy. Our previous house type was 12. Normally, the three children could only sit on the ground and watch us dig into the nest, my wife and I couldn't stand it."

Shi Qian next to her was drinking water and almost spit it out.

Brother, the three children are looking at you, you can still have sex with your wife, is there something serious wrong? !

On the contrary, the eyes of a salesman lit up when he heard this: "Do you have three children in your family?"

The man nodded slightly reservedly: "Yes, we came here this time because of the child..."

The salesman smiled more cordially: "Since you have three children, you can consider this large apartment with an area of ​​28 square meters..."

The two parties walked farther and farther away as they communicated, Shi Qian looked around suspiciously, and she finally found out what was wrong——

——The adults who come to buy a house are all a man and a woman, often with several children, and at least one or two children, and most of the sales introductions focus on housing. Enter the child.

It's a little... strange.

Here in Sunshine City, Shi Qian asked herself, she is definitely unwilling to get married and have children, but people here have a high willingness to have children, as can be seen from the most popular apartment types - most people The person who came up to ask is about 25 square meters, which can accommodate three children.

Xiaodong introduced all the apartment types, and her eyes swept back and forth between Yuan Guang and Shi Qian: "Are you two still planning to get married and have children?"

Yuan Guang and Shi Qian were taken aback. They worked together for a few years, and in reality, because they were too social, and encountered unfinished buildings and games. ‌There are worldly desires.

No matter how good your relationship is, if your relationship deteriorates, you will switch from friends to family members, because you have never considered this issue before, and when someone suddenly asks this question, you still feel at a loss.

Yuan Guang just wanted to say yes, but Shi Qian quickly covered her mouth to stop her eyesight. She had already discovered that the problem was with the child, so she raised her eyes to the salesman, pretending to be shy. : "... Yes, I plan to give you three children."

Yuan Guang, who drank a whole can of Coke next to him, opened his eyes wide and hiccupped in horror.

Xiao Dongxin understood: "Since the two of you are planning to have children, let me introduce to you a brand new loan service that Sunshine City Real Estate has launched to make it easier for everyone to buy a house—Sunshine Seedling Loan."

Shi Qian put it back, and asked intently: "What kind of loan is this?"

"Many people who live in Sunshine City can't afford the down payment for a flat for a lifetime. For example, this 25-square-meter apartment, based on the current average price of 320,000 yuan per square meter, costs 8 million. Sunshine A seedling loan requires a minimum 50% down payment, which is 4 million, and the remaining balance needs to be repaid in 20 years. If the interest is not included, the monthly repayment is 16,000. Most families can afford it and can afford it. bought a house."

Shi Qian couldn't help retorting: "How can the loan have interest?"

Xiaodong smiled: "The Sunshine Seedling Loan promoted by our subsidiary does not require interest, both of you."

Yuan Guang shook his head: "It doesn't work without interest. The down payment of 4 million is too high. How many people can afford it?"

"This is the subtlety of Sunshine Loan." The warm smile on Xiaodong's face deepened, "Sunshine Seedling Loan provides pre-mortgage loan services for children."

Yuan Guang suddenly realized: "What mortgage?"

"Children." Xiaodong repeated in a straight voice, she took out a contract, and introduced with a smile, "Well, if you can only pay a down payment of one million, what's left? For three million, you can let your children sign a labor contract with our real estate company, so that their future labor can be mortgaged. For example, for three children, each of them only needs to mortgage one million wages .”

Yuan Guang looked down at the labor contract that Xiaodong handed to me:

[...Party A promises that when its descendants reach the age of sixteen and have the ability to work, they will enter Party B's company and work twelve hours a day. Party B promises to give a monthly salary of 4,500 (average salary level), At the same time, 80% of the repayment of the mortgage by the descendants of Party A will be deducted every month until the descendants of Party A have paid off the mortgage debt of Party A. 】

Yuan Guang's back felt cold, but he slowly raised his head, his head was dizzy for a moment: "Eighty percent of the wages have been deducted to repay the loan, and I have to work twelve hours a day. With time off, how does this kid live?"

"That's not what you're worried about." Xiaodong said with a faint smile, "Children and grandchildren have their own blessings. As parents, don't you have a big fight just to let me take care of you for you?" Room, let you enjoy yourself?"

"Besides, if you are worried that your children will be tired, you will be able to have children in the future to enjoy the blessing."
