Rebirth of Bloody Romance

Chapter 390 Welfare Housing Distribution

Zhong Yuemin also kindly reminded that if housing prices skyrocket in a few years, you really may not be able to afford it. At least a salary of one or two hundred yuan is still very scary for a housing price of two or three thousand per square meter.

It is said that in the late 1980s, the People's Daily conducted an in-depth discussion on the housing prices in Pujiang.

At that time, an article clearly pointed out that even if an ordinary worker worked hard for a hundred years, it would be difficult for him to afford a house of his own! This cruel reality undoubtedly made people more worried about the issue of housing prices.

When Zhu Jianguo heard this, he quickly responded: "Oh, don't say that! I'd better pay you back as soon as possible. I feel uneasy living with debt all day long!"

Seeing this, Zhong Yuemin shook his head gently, and said with an expression of understanding but firm opposition. "Don't worry! I don't need your money right now, so you don't have to be so anxious to pay me back. Take a good look at the situation in the city now. Do you feel that the housing area is obviously not enough? Look, everyone is busy expanding those satellite cities! What does this mean? This fully proves that real estate will become a scarce commodity sooner or later! So, you have to keep the funds in your hand to purchase real estate, and then continue to invest. Believe me, the price of this house will definitely soar in the future. Buy it with confidence, you will never suffer a loss, and you will never be deceived."

Zhong Yuemin raised the corners of his mouth slightly, revealing a sly smile. His bright and deep eyes quickly swept across the people present, and then he cleverly turned the topic to Liu Yansong and other colleagues.

Zhong Yuemin clapped his hands lightly and raised his voice to say, "Everyone, now is a great opportunity! We all have some money on hand, so don't hesitate! This real estate investment is definitely a sure win. Believe me, it won't be long before you find out what a wise decision you made, and then you'll have to thank me!"

As Zhong Yuemin spoke, he paced back and forth, gesturing in the air with his hands from time to time, as if a beautiful blueprint for wealth had emerged before his eyes.

At this time, Zhong Yuemin, like an experienced mentor, was earnestly imparting valuable knowledge and experience to his students.

In this way, Zhong Yuemin, relying on his eloquence, constantly persuaded people around him to join the army of home buyers. Perhaps even he himself did not realize that his actions had unknowingly become a powerful force driving up housing prices in the capital, leaving an indelible historical mark.

Liu Yansong adjusted his gold-rimmed glasses and smiled confidently, as if all the troubles in the world had nothing to do with him. "Yuemin, you have to look at the long term. The school will allocate housing in the future. This is a foregone conclusion. It's just a matter of time. If we pay for it now, isn't it redundant?"

After hearing this, Zhong Yuemin curled up his lips into a wry smile. He looked up at the starry sky. Those distant and bright stars seemed to be telling unknown secrets.

"Separate rooms? Hey, Xiao Liu, you've probably been immersed in this sea of ​​books for too long and forgotten about the wind and rain outside." Zhong Yuemin's words were a bit teasing, but also contained some seriousness.

Liu Yansong pushed up his glasses on the bridge of his nose, his eyes behind the lenses sparkling with idealism. He firmly believed that there would always be a place for them in the future.

"Associate Professor Zhong, you always look at things realistically. It is true that according to the current scoring system, the road to housing allocation is long and difficult, but don't forget that times are changing and policies will not remain unchanged. The school is in a period of growth and expansion and renovation of school buildings in the next few years is a foregone conclusion. By then, the new dormitory building will be built, and our chance will come, right?"

Zhong Yuemin shook his head, a cynical smile appeared on the corner of his mouth. He preferred to grasp the present rather than pin his hopes on an unknown tomorrow.

"Xiao Liu, I understand your optimism, but the reality is harsh. Look at those old professors, they have dedicated most of their lives to the school, some of them still live in tube-shaped buildings built in the 1960s, two bedrooms and one living room, three generations living together, it's hard to turn around. The 'youth apartment' we live in now is nominally a single room, but in fact it's just a small grid separated by partitions. What can you do with ten square meters? When you get up to go to the bathroom at night, you can hear the loving voices of the couple next door. The sound is so penetrating, can you sleep at night?"

"We are the backbone of the school and the elite of society, but we are actually just indulging ourselves in the ivory tower. Once we step out of this door, the world outside is much more complicated than we imagined. A house is not just a place to shelter from the wind and rain, it also carries the warmth of home and is a symbol of belonging. Tell me, how many men are willing to let their women and children stay in such a small space?"

Liu Yansong's expression became serious when he heard this. He realized that although Zhong Yuemin's words were sharp, they were not without reason. The two were silent for a moment, and a faint sense of worry filled the air.

Under the clear and strict framework of the welfare housing distribution system, comprehensive scores have become the yardstick for measuring each person's housing distribution ranking.

This set of rules, like a precise scale, takes into account comprehensive factors such as faculty and staff's position, professional title, age, years of work, academic qualifications, and family members. Each point carries heavy expectations and efforts.

Only when the points accumulate to that exciting threshold will you be eligible for a room.

"Allocated housing?" Liu Yansong's words were filled with hope for the future, but more of a sense of helplessness about the current situation. He knew very well that according to the existing scoring rules, he, Zhong Yuemin, and many people around him would still need to "work hard and persevere" in the long river of time.

This is a silent competition. Everyone is accumulating every point and cent toward a new home in his own way.

Zhong Yuemin bluntly pointed out the cruelty of reality. "We, including Liu Yansong, still need to go through more trials and tribulations. Promotion of positions, evaluation of professional titles, accumulation of years of work, and even the increase or decrease of family members will become variables in this competition. And in this long process, we may only be able to continue to live in this small space, far away from our dream home."

Zhu Jianguo interrupted, his tone was full of ridicule and helplessness. "Associate Professor Zhong, according to what you said, don't we young people have to wait until we are 40 or 50 years old to have the opportunity to get a house? Don't we have to be 'old bachelors'?"

Hearing this, Yang Li smiled bitterly. He pondered Zhong Yuemin's words, nodded, and agreed. "It seems that there is really no chance. We still have to rely on ourselves."

Liu Yansong sighed, his eyes flashing with determination. "If that's the case, then don't wait any longer. Let's work hard on that teaching project. Once we get some money, buying a house won't be a problem. Only with a house can we settle down and start a family."

Zhong Yuemin looked at everyone and thought to himself that although this group of people faced various difficulties, they never gave up their vision and pursuit of the future. "Yes, everyone is right. You have been single for too long. It is time to consider starting a family. And to start a family, it is best to have your own nest. A house is not just a place to live, but also a symbol of home and a harbor for the soul."

At this point, Zhong Yuemin paused, looked at everyone present, and continued, "So, we have to work harder to complete the teaching project, and when we make enough money, we can buy a house. By then, everyone will have their own home, and it will be great to be together again!"

After hearing what Zhong Yuemin said and Liu Yansong's encouragement, everyone was a little moved. The key is that they have been single for too long, and seeing their colleagues and friends around them getting married and starting a family, they can't help but feel a little anxious. And to get married and start a family, it is best to have a house as a cornerstone.

"Associate Professor Zhong, you are right. We can't wait any longer." Zhu Jianguo was the first to speak out, his voice full of determination and courage. "We must plan for our future and work hard for our own happiness."

Yang Li also nodded, his eyes flashing with determination. "That's right, we are not too old, we have a lot of energy and drive. As long as we work together, nothing can stop us."

For a moment, the room was filled with a positive atmosphere, and everyone expressed their determination to work hard for their own future and happiness.

On this day, the sun was exceptionally bright, and the breeze was blowing gently across the earth, as if cheering for the upcoming National Light Industry System Conference.

For Yu Guodong, this was not only a grand meeting, but also an unforgettable milestone in his career.

At this moment, Yu Guodong was standing quietly on the podium in the spacious, bright and solemnly decorated conference hall.

Below the stage, colleagues from all corners of the world gathered together. They were either industry leaders or experienced seniors.

On the rostrum sat a group of high-ranking and powerful leaders, each with an expectant and scrutinizing look on their face.

Facing so many gazes, Yu Guodong felt that his heart was beating like a frightened deer, but at the same time, a strong feeling of excitement also arose.

Thunderous applause suddenly broke out, sweeping over like a tide, echoing throughout the entire conference hall, without stopping for a long time.

However, behind this seemingly enthusiastic applause, Yu Guodong deeply understood how great the responsibility he shouldered was and how arduous the mission he had to undertake was.

Because today, here, on this highly anticipated stage, he will explain to everyone a crucial point about the future development direction of China's manufacturing industry.

For a moment, the whole audience fell silent. Everyone held their breath and stared at the slightly nervous but confident figure on the podium - Yu Guodong.

Yu Guodong first closed his eyes slightly, took a few deep breaths, and tried to calm his restless heart.

Then, Yu Guodong opened his eyes, and with a firm and powerful look, he scanned the audience below the stage, and then, with a slightly trembling but still steady voice, he began to nervously and methodically expound the point of view taught to him by Zhong Yuemin...

“Dear leaders and dear colleagues:

Hello everyone! Today, I am honored to be here to discuss with you the crucial issue of the global manufacturing development pattern, and to deeply analyze the severe challenges and rare opportunities facing my country's manufacturing industry.

At this moment, please allow me to look around, because from the eyes of each of you, I can see your attention and expectations for this topic. And my eyes are also facing you without any hesitation, which not only contains confidence, but also burns with firm determination.

In today's world, the global manufacturing industry has formed a clearly identifiable and distinct four-tier development pattern. The first echelon that comes into view is the global science and technology innovation center headed by the powerful United States of America. They shine at the forefront of the technology field like bright stars, firmly controlling the dominance of core technologies. Whether it is the ever-changing information technology, biomedical engineering that promotes human progress, or the research and development of new energy that changes the future mode of travel, the United States and the countries it leads have always maintained a leading position.

The second tier is the European continent with a long industrial history and profound manufacturing background, and the island nation of Japan. These regions are world-renowned for their exquisite craftsmanship and unparalleled high-end manufacturing standards, and have become an indispensable and important role on the global manufacturing stage.

Germany's automobile industry, Switzerland's watchmaking, Italy's fashion design, etc. are all synonymous with quality and luxury; and Japan's electronics industry and precision machinery manufacturing are world-renowned, representing the highest standards in the industry.

Looking at the third echelon, it brings together the emerging economies known as the "Four Asian Tigers" - South Korea, Singapore, Taiwan and Hong Kong. With their flexible and diverse production models and relatively high production efficiency, they have successfully emerged in the fiercely competitive low-end manufacturing sector and firmly occupied their own space.

However, we have to admit that our great motherland, China, has not yet joined the three highly anticipated echelons mentioned above. Although my country's manufacturing industry has achieved remarkable achievements in recent years, it still needs to continue to work hard to achieve a real breakthrough and rise in the global manufacturing landscape. "

Having said that, Yu Guodong paused slightly, as if leaving room for the participants to think.

Then, Yu Guodong changed the subject, his tone full of passion and hope. "But this does not mean that we have no chance! Today, I want to creatively propose the concepts of 'Made in China' and our 'Going Global Strategy'. We believe that through continuous technological innovation, industrial upgrading and market expansion, China is fully capable of occupying a place in the global manufacturing industry and even becoming a leader."

These views were like a stream of fresh air, instantly attracting the strong attention of the participants. They nodded in agreement, and some even began to discuss in a low voice, obviously deeply moved by Yu Guodong's speech.

"Mr. Yu, your views are very novel and forward-looking!" A participant couldn't help but stand up and express his appreciation to Yu Guodong.

"Yes, China's manufacturing industry really needs such voices to guide us towards a brighter future!" another participant echoed.
