Chapter 124 Old and Broken House
Upon hearing this, Qiao Xiazhi casually said, "Since you've bought it, why not build it yourself? This way, at least the entire homestead is still yours."
"It just depends on whether the government has any requirements on what kind of building it should be built? Or is it OK as long as it is not a dangerous building that poses a safety hazard?"
Teacher Liu: "There are no requirements on what kind of building to build. It only says that if the house occupies the road, the street needs to be reserved, and the remaining foundation can be built at will."
Teacher Kuang: "But this will cost a lot of money, and we will have to renovate it in the end! When will this money be recovered from the rent?"
"If you ask me, Xia Zhi, your company will allocate housing to you in the future anyway, and your man will have the opportunity to apply for a larger yard in the future, so why bother spending that money to buy a lousy house?"
Qiao Xiazhi smiled, but she still didn't explain why she was so obsessed with buying a house.
After all, she is now living in a fictional era, and she cannot predict how this place will develop in the future.
She could only buy it on her own. If Teacher Kuang and the others were willing to follow her and trusted her, then they could follow them.
Anyway, the homestead is in your hands, so you won’t lose anything in the future.
"You don't have to rush to renovate. If you're not in a hurry to move in, then don't renovate. Anyway, my house is built and it's not a dangerous building, so I don't have to worry about it, right?"
"As for a house, I'll buy one if I have the chance. It will be convenient to have my own house when my children go to school in the future."
After hearing this, Teacher Kuang thought that Qiao Xiazhi was making plans for his four future children and did not try to persuade him further.
Teacher Liu: "Yes, it only says that as long as it is not a dangerous building, it is up to you to build one or two floors."
Qiao Xiazhi: "That's right. Some houses in the old city are actually still in good condition. It's just that no one has lived in them for a long time, which makes them look like dangerous buildings. Maybe they don't have to be demolished and rebuilt immediately after cleaning them up."
Teacher Liu: "But if your house happens to be blocking the street, it still needs to be demolished and the road needs to be cleared."
"As for the area that was demolished to build the road, I heard that there is no compensation. After all, the road is shared, and you need a road at your doorstep too."
Teacher Kuang: "Who would be willing to demolish the house if they don't pay the compensation? And the whole house has to be demolished. What if there is no money to rebuild it?"
“Although most people in the old town have jobs, building a house is not a small amount of money.”
Teacher Kuang: "I heard that it is not up to you to choose whether to demolish or not. The demolition work has been going on for more than half a year and there has been no progress. Now the higher-ups don't have the patience to make policy changes again and again."
"Anyway, this is what has been decided. If something is occupying the road, it will be demolished, whether you like it or not. If it is demolished, we will just follow the policy of demolish one and replace one."
"Want money? Then you can find a way to sell the house and see if anyone wants it."
Qiao Xiazhi: "In fact, it is good enough to demolish one and replace one. After all, the house over there is empty anyway."
"Now the government has redeveloped that area, and if there is a house there, we can rent it out and collect some rent, even if it's not much, it's also an input subsidy."
Indeed, it was very humane to achieve the goal of "demolishing one and replacing one" in the initial demolition.
If you want to make hundreds of thousands or millions of dollars from a house or compensate several houses like in the future, that will happen after the real estate industry develops.
Houses nowadays are really cheaper than cabbage, and the most important thing is that not many people are willing to buy them.
It’s better to rent a house for a few dollars a month.
It would be a bit wrong to wait for the company to allocate housing to you.
At this time, the job can be inherited by future generations, so you can almost always live in the company's house.
Since everyone has a house to live in, why build so many houses?
It also costs money to build and decorate.
Because there is no concept of house appreciation, many people are unwilling to demolish one and replace one.
After you get the house, you have to spend money to renovate it before you can rent it out.
When can we get back the money spent on renovation by collecting rent?
It would be more worthwhile to sell it and get cash.
Every time Teacher Liu heard Qiao Xiazhi say that collecting some rent would also be an income, he would just smile.
Qiao Xiazhi did not explain much, and then asked:
"Teacher Liu, are you planning to demolish the house and rebuild it or build it yourself?"
Teacher Liu smiled awkwardly: "We can only choose to take one down and put one back together."
"Although I have recovered from my illness now, as the two brothers, Big Liu and Little Liu, have grown up, it will cost a lot of money to send them to school. Your teacher Liu and I are only thinking about raising them well now."
Whether their children can inherit their work depends on their abilities, after all, it's not like a factory.
Therefore, when they retire, the house will definitely have to be returned to the company.
The house on the other side of the old house must be kept.
Otherwise, there will be no house to live in.
This is all thanks to Teacher Yao’s timely reminder, otherwise they wouldn’t know what to do with the products after buying them.
Qiao Xiazhi nodded when he heard this: "Although this is the truth, we should replace one house with another, and replace one house with another. In the future, you two old people will be able to add these two brothers."
"They have two brothers who have started their own families. How can they live in one house?"
Although it was already the end of the 1980s more than ten years later, commercial housing might have already begun to appear here by then.
But how could the two brothers who had just entered society have the money to buy it?
You must have a house for transition in the early stages.
Moreover, Qiao Xiazhi felt that demolishing and replacing seemed to be a good deal now, but it would be a big loss in the future.
After thinking about it, Qiao Xiazhi said, "It's better to build it yourself than to tear it down and repair it. Then you can plan it in advance."
"Build a three-story building, and then the two brothers will each take a floor. Or build two row-style buildings, and then the two brothers will each take a row."
"This way we can have two facades."
Teacher Liu: "We will live there by ourselves in the future, so we will know how to build a more suitable house, but where can we get the money?"
Qiao Xiazhi: “If they don’t specify how to build it, then just build two storefronts and reserve the upper floor for now, and then add more when you have money later.”
She has seen many landlords like this in the real world.
Originally it was a three-story house. Later, as the economy improved, more and more people rented houses, and the cost of demolition and reconstruction was too high, so they just added more floors.
Anyway, the foundation laid at this time is very solid, so adding six or seven floors is no problem.
After hearing what Qiao Xiazhi said, Teacher Liu was still very tempted, but his concerns were not gone.
"But is it okay to just build two storefronts there? You can't live there or rent it out."
At that time, self-employed individuals had not yet been legalized, and personal storefronts were basically useless.
Teacher Liu originally wanted to take a house and spend some money on simple renovation and then rent it out, but the storefront is not easy to deal with.
Qiao Xiazhi: "Does Teacher Liu believe me? If Teacher Liu believes me, then do as I say and build two storefronts for now. There is no need to renovate them. The main thing is to occupy the foundation first."
"The foundation is in your hands. When you have money in the future, you can build upwards. Or if you are not satisfied with the reconstruction, just like I said just now, you can build two rows or three floors."
"If you don't have money, you can live in a different storefront? Isn't that better than living on the street?"
"Besides, you don't have the money to build one. What if Da Liu and Xiao Liu grow up and become successful and build their own house? Their own house will be bigger than the one they get from the company?"
"Let me tell you something bad. What if the company doesn't give out houses in the future? What will you do with these two brothers?"
Hearing this, Teacher Kuang felt that what Qiao Xiazhi said made sense.
After all, it's for the two grandchildren.
Seeing that Teacher Liu didn't say anything, Teacher Kuang tugged at Teacher Liu's clothes and signaled him with his eyes to listen to Xia Zhi.
Teacher Liu thought about it and nodded: "Okay, Teacher Liu believes you, then we won't take down one and put in another, we will build it ourselves."
Qiao Xiazhi nodded.
After leaving school, Qiao Xiazhi went straight home.
But she was not in a hurry to go to the old town in the afternoon.
Anyway, there is still one day left tomorrow, so she can go there tomorrow morning and watch over the whole day.
Going back and forth in the afternoon will waste time, so you will have less time to look at houses.
The next day, Qiao Xiazhi went out on his bicycle.
The destination is to go straight to the old town.
When we arrived at the old city, we no longer had to hide behind buying and selling houses because the area was being demolished.
Those who do not want to build their own houses and do not want compensation can just hand them over to the street office to put them up for sale to see if anyone wants to buy them.
Under the current circumstances, no one has much hope of selling the house.
So the quotes are not high.
Some have more than 300 houses per yard, and some have more than 500 houses per yard.
Anyway, everyone's goal is to get cash, which is much more cost-effective than buying a house nowadays.
After all, you can only get a few hundred dollars if you sell it.
Even if you rent out a house, you will only get a few dollars in rent a month. Why bother?
Qiao Xiazhi found the street office and asked, "Are there any houses for sale here?"
As soon as he finished speaking, a warm-hearted female comrade came over to greet him.
"What kind of house do you want to buy? It's very cost-effective to buy a house now. Once you get the house, we will immediately prepare for demolition. Then you can get a new house."
"After getting a new house, we can just renovate it and rent it out. By then, houses will definitely be in short supply here..."
Qiao Xiazhi listened to the comrade's endless chatter, then quickly interrupted her and said, "What kind of houses are for sale here now?"
Female comrade: "What kind of house do you want? Big or small? They are all going to be demolished anyway, so you don't have to worry about anything else..."
Qiao Xiazhi: "It doesn't matter if it's big or small. Can you take me to have a look and tell me about the next plan?"
The female comrade nodded quickly: "Okay, okay, wait for me, I'll get the plan and take you to see it."
Then the female comrade went back to her desk and took out a plan and a house sales form.
Seeing this, Qiao Xiazhi asked casually, "There are quite a lot of houses ready for sale in the old city."
The female comrade was worried that Qiao Xiazhi would get worried after seeing so many houses for sale, and then would not buy any, so she immediately gave an awkward but polite smile and said, "No, no, this is just a random note."
"Let's go, let's go. I'll take you to see the house."
