Rejecting 996, the capital of the whole world is broken

Chapter 131 The True Value

What Song Wen said was indeed the actual situation of the cameraman.

He was thinking about the issue of education, but he wasn't even married yet, and having children was a distant possibility. He might not even want to have children.

The same goes for health issues. Song Wen has said before that you never know which will come first, tomorrow or an accident. There is nothing wrong with paying attention to your physical health, but there is really no need to think about the future when you are in your prime.

Maybe once I close my eyes tonight, I won't be able to open them again.
The cameraman can understand these problems, but the concepts are still different.

But he really didn't understand what Song Wen said at the end: the light was so dazzling that those who looked up would close their eyes.

"What do you mean?" The cameraman looked puzzled.

Song Wen replied calmly: "The light is too bright, you can't see the truth clearly."

"What truth are you looking at? You're talking about the house?!"

Song Wen nodded: "Otherwise, the house is too sacred in your heart, so you have to look up at it, and those so-called supporting facilities, including concepts, are like dazzling light, which makes you have to close your eyes when you look up."

"You can't see anything clearly at all. When others say something is sacred, you just follow suit and worship it."

The cameraman thought about it for a moment and disagreed with Song Wen's statement:

"Not really. It's true that a house is sacred. What's the truth? The truth is that you need a place to live and make plans for the future."

"I'm not married now, but I can't stay married forever. I have to plan ahead, including for children and the elderly. I can't be irresponsible to them."

What the cameraman said was very practical, and it was basically the thoughts and ideas of most people in the live broadcast room:

"That's true. To be honest, I don't want to buy a house, but there's really no other way. If I can feed myself, my whole family will not be hungry. The key is that I have elderly parents and children to support. I can be content with the status quo, but they can't..."

"Especially the issue of the next generation's education. To put it bluntly, my life has ended since the birth of my child. The rest of my life will basically be spent serving my child. I am unwilling to give up. What else can I do?"

"I'm young and I've taken on millions of dollars in debt just for a house. I'm under a lot of pressure. I don't work for a living, I work to pay off the debt. In this life, my family is not satisfied with the house and is thinking about changing it. This is killing me."

"This actually has nothing to do with being rich or poor. Who among these owners of the Hengxing community doesn't have money? Aren't they also struggling to buy a house? I don't think they are just trying to live more comfortably. The environment is not much different."

"Song Ge is really free and easy. He can spend 2000 million to buy a car instead of a house. I envy him but I really can't do it. If I don't have a house, my girlfriend's family will really disagree. Think about it, who would want to let their beloved daughter be homeless?"

When it comes to the issue of housing, everyone has basically the same idea.

There is not so much yearning to speak of, most of the time it is done out of necessity.

Some buy it for the present, some for the next generation, and it can even be said that a house ties together the entire lives of many people.

You can be without money, but you must not be without a house.

And it has to be the best house possible.

Comfort can be ignored, the first requirement is convenience for the future.

Song Wen smiled bitterly and shook his head: "People have different concepts, and naturally their definitions of houses are also different." "Houses are like this. Originally, their value is not that high, but when they are tied to marriage, education, medical care and other issues, their value increases."

"If you care about these things, you will naturally pay for them. For most people, this is the core selling point."

"It's these things, not the house itself, that make you willing to pay for it."

"It's like this residential complex that is about to be launched. Whether you are talking about it or those who came to inquire this morning, have you seen the house?"

"Just one gate is enough to make you scramble to buy it."

"You guys don't care about the real problems with the house itself, so do you think the developer will care?"

“So what’s being sold now isn’t a house at all, and what you’re competing to buy isn’t a house either.”

"To put it bluntly, what we are robbing is nothing more than a bad check."

As soon as he finished speaking, the cameraman murmured something like "an empty promise" and then fell silent.

He repeatedly pondered what Song Wen said in his mind, and it seemed to be true.

It seems that what people want to buy now is not the house itself, but the so-called supporting facilities.

It is because of those things that the house seems priceless.

It is for this reason that everyone is willing to pay the bill for the sake of the future, even if they are heavily in debt now.

For ordinary workers, by the time their mortgage is paid off, they may have retired.
In addition, after all these years of desperate efforts to pay off the debt, perhaps even after paying off the debt, you will not be able to live here for a few years, and you may even spend more time in the hospital than living in your own house.
When the time comes, think about whether it is worth it or not, and maybe you will have a different answer.

This is when everything goes well.
What if some rules have changed over the years, and so-called school districts are no longer meaningful? Then who is paying the bill?

What if it's just a bad check?
Thinking of this, the cameraman couldn't help but feel a chill down his spine.

"No way! That's a star! They have put so many cases here before. Isn't this community in front of us a good example? It is precisely because it is good that these owners agree with it so much!"

"And if they really want to sell the property, it's not just about talking. There must be a lot of qualifications and related documents. Most of these owners are successful people. They are all smart people. How could it be possible..."

The more the cameraman spoke, the lower his voice became, or rather, the more he spoke, the less confident he seemed.

Many things are like this. When you don't expect it, you feel that there is a smooth road ahead. But when you really think about some practical problems, you become empty and not so determined. The most you can do is find excuses to comfort yourself.

The cameraman is like this now, but he can't get any rounder.
After all, most of his conclusions seem to be solvable.

Song Wen smiled calmly: "This is the dazzling light that makes those who look up to it close their eyes. Without seeing anything, they start to worship it and even rush to pay for it."

"Behind the light may be what you wish, or it may be endless darkness."

"Only time can tell what it is."
