My Lord, you need to stand up!

Chapter 417 The Harvest Season Has Begun
Later, this real estate became quite famous in the history of Jiangzhou's real estate market as "Animal Village," and even became the name of various taxi and bus stops.

It has won numerous first-place titles in the national real estate industry.

"The first commercial and residential community";
"The first commercial advertisement promoting real estate";
"The first landscape-planned real estate project"...

There are countless titles like these that can be modified with many adjectives.

But it did indeed appear out of nowhere and suddenly jump into the eyes of the people of the whole country, and many people with different opinions and attitudes wanted to criticize it harshly.

But when I look at that popular TV series, I can't find anything wrong with it.

From its size and price to its quality, it is impeccable.

Jiangzhou Daily has been bombarded with advertisements from the initial public service sales ad for Shangzhou tangerines, the new and dreamlike debut ad for the zoo, and the housing purchase fair for citizens.

They're not so sensitive anymore and have started to accept commercial advertisements.

Of course, it was still very cheap. For the first time ever, Wei Dong asked for a full-page bottom page. The newspaper tentatively quoted him 2,500 yuan.
Jianggang Real Estate said, "Okay, we'll do this for three consecutive days in mid-August!"
Are you kidding me? The price of these new elevator apartments for sale is 520 yuan per square meter, which is lower than the average price of 500 to 900 yuan per square meter for property ownership without land deeds at the housing purchase fair held in the city before.

The 264 ready-built houses in this single building alone are for sale, with a total price of 915 million.
Then there are twelve buildings of pre-sale apartments, totaling 3168 units, with a total price of 109.8 million!
Are you really concerned about these 7,500 yuan "sales and promotion costs"?
It really only cost this little money.

If we exclude the decoration and renovation costs of Jianggang Real Estate's "sales office".

The reason for using a full page is because there is too much content.

The publication of this article immediately shocked the entire city!
A full-page advertisement at the bottom of the newspaper announced in large, eye-catching words: "The brand-new elevator building at Jiangzhou Zoo is now open for sale, both completed and pre-sale apartments!"

They also named the two completed buildings and the twelve buildings under construction after animals.

Most of the text uses a zoo map as a background, with a detailed map explaining the location of the completed "Elephant Tower" and "Tiger Tower," as well as the corresponding "Lion Tower," "Horse Tower," "Crane Tower," "Deer Tower," and so on, arranged next to it.

It is emphasized that all homebuyers will receive a ten-year zoo pass that can be used by three people at the same time!

Next, floor plans are listed for a 100-square-meter large apartment with three bedrooms, two living rooms, two bathrooms, and two balconies, and a 50-square-meter small apartment with two bedrooms, one living room, one bathroom, and one balcony.

It is particularly emphasized that there are model rooms available for visits at the sales office.

Finally, the following details three different loan purchase methods.

They directly reduced the down payment for the two apartment types with a total price of over 50,000 and over 20,000 to around 10,000 and 5,000 yuan respectively.

As long as you can make this down payment and then pay a monthly mortgage of a little over one hundred to two hundred yuan, you can own the property in this new apartment building with an elevator.

Anyone who sees this newspaper will inevitably start to ponder and speculate with great interest whether they can actually do it.

The detailed information on loan eligibility also allows everyone to consider what conditions are required to obtain a loan.

Having ten thousand yuan was indeed rare at that time, but if you wanted to save up a few thousand or borrow ten thousand yuan to buy a house for your family, it was not a pipe dream.

For example, at that time, when the Jiangsu and Zhejiang regions organized fundraising events, a coastal county alone was able to raise 1.2 million yuan from tens of thousands of people!
That's still just empty talk, using high interest rates to lure people in.

This is a legitimate home purchase.

Wei Dong is already a seasoned "real estate developer".

He sold those three Khrushchev-style buildings for the first time in Shangzhou at the end of last year, and before going to Shanghai in May, he sold another 1,400 new apartments.

Very skilled and confident.

Because he has a base of tens of thousands of employees!

If we hadn't repeatedly persuaded you, and our factory area itself is building such high-rise residential complexes, would you rather live next to the zoo but have to take a bus for more than an hour to cross the river to get to work every day, or live in the factory area and be able to get to work in just a few minutes' walk?

That was barely enough to suppress the situation where everyone instantly sold out three thousand sets.

However, they promised that once the sales over there were completed, they would immediately begin internal sales within the factory area as well.

Why did Wei Dong insist on spending his own money to complete the zoo dormitory building?

Because this area is considered the western suburbs, there are many buildable plots of land between the zoo and the nearest steel plant.

It would normally be difficult to attract urban residents to move to the peri-urban area, but the novelty of the zoo has made the task much easier.

Talk is cheap. If we sell one existing building now, and then sell twelve more, wouldn't that easily attract homebuyers?

The pre-sale apartments sold at this time were purchased with bank loans, completely relieving Wei Dong of the enormous pressure of having to pay for the construction himself.

Once I catch my breath, I can free up my resources to handle the next real estate deal...

Sigh, before he knew it, a mere year had passed, and Wei Dong had become the very thing he once despised. And now, they were all launching sales at the same time… He didn't even want to count how many houses he had under construction at the same time!

Moreover, they are all high-rise buildings with elevators, some over twenty stories high.

But now he has funding from Hong Kong businessmen, construction teams from infrastructure groups, the most sought-after steel these days, his own fleet of transport barges that can haul the cheapest sand and gravel from Shangzhou, as well as his own cement plant, steel processing plant, and even an elevator factory in which he has invested!

With such a strong and well-equipped army, it would be incredibly cowardly not to overindulge themselves.

In short, from the very first day the newspaper advertisement was published, a steady stream of citizens began visiting the Jianggang Real Estate sales office.

It has been confirmed that a sales office is indeed preparing to start sales on August 18th.

Moreover, the completed model homes can be visited and appreciated, but only within a designated area covered with a synthetic red carpet.

For three consecutive days, tens of thousands of citizens have come to inquire!
It's not like you can just go in and out like flowing water; you can't stop to take a closer look.

This alone has already redefined the city's residents' concept of housing.

No longer white walls and terrazzo floors, no longer cement stoves and narrow squat toilets.

Exquisite and beautiful wallpaper, simple and high-end wainscoting, a beautiful and eye-catching TV wall, a set of sofas, dining table and chairs, a dazzling array of lamps, a fully tiled bathroom, shower room and toilet, plus a realistic-looking telephone, radio, refrigerator and other furnishings.

The modern family you only see in magazines, suddenly appeared right in front of you?

With so many citizens asking questions, the real estate company led by Chi Shiming had to put up labels overnight on all the renovations and appliances: "Renovation display, for reference only," "Not for sale," "Not included with the package," etc.

They even opened up the unfurnished apartment next door for comparison. This is what you get for your money. To achieve the same effect as the apartment next door, you would have to spend even more money on renovations, appliances, and furniture.

Therefore, in this case, the announcement can be completed in three days.

August 18, 1985.

While Jin Zhuoqun was still struggling to raise a few million yuan for the initial funding of building construction.

The first-ever residential housing development in Jiangzhou City has opened for sale.

According to the onlookers, this was the first time they had ever seen so much money gathered here in such a concentrated manner.

If any armed criminals were to appear... they would definitely be riddled with bullets by the armed militia on the scene!

Because there was a loophole in the advertisement, unlike the two house sales in Shangzhou, it did not remind everyone that only a 500 yuan deposit was needed to complete the purchase, and the remaining money was to be paid when signing the loan agreement with the bank.

This time, many citizens used bags and backpacks, especially the most common military backpacks or small black synthetic leather shoulder bags these days.

They brought over several thousand or even tens of thousands of yuan worth of goods.

Because it was a 10-yuan note representing great unity, it was roughly equivalent to the weight and volume of 50,000 to 100,000 yuan in later times.

The police officers who were originally on loan from the surrounding area immediately noticed that there was too much money involved. They quickly said, "Don't you construction teams have your own militia company? Send people over immediately to maintain order!"
When Lao Geng's guard company set off, someone even asked if they wanted to bring machine guns!
Wei Dong was urged to emphasize that not a single bullet should be brought; the gun was only to be used as a fire-and-water weapon at the scene.

A group of strong young men, dressed in black T-shirts from the urban construction company, denim overalls, carrying Type 56 semi-automatic rifles, with the words "Urban Construction Militia" in red on their arms.

Together with the police, they quelled the scene.

The scene was even more tense than when 300,000 to 400,000 tourists gathered during the May Day holiday.

At that time, there were just a lot of people, and we were afraid of a stampede.

There is a real, huge amount of money on site right now.

As it turned out, someone actually came with a huge sum of money to pay the full amount upfront!

At exactly 8:00 AM, the sales office quickly filled out a simple registration form for the buyers, conducted a simple verification of funds, and then proceeded into the building to see the model apartments. If not, they could go directly to the "zoo" area through the back door, where there was a spacious lawn with shady trees where they could queue up to have their loan applications reviewed by the bank. Once approved, they could pay the down payment to complete the purchase and select their apartment and apartment number.

It really relies entirely on a super-large zoo that can accommodate two or three hundred thousand people as a buffer.

The registration process started at 5 a.m., and by 10 a.m. it was announced that more than 4,000 people had registered, and it was unlikely that anyone would be placed in line later. Please ensure your safety and leave the scene in an orderly manner. We have militia and police to escort you out...

Leaders at all levels in Jiangzhou City, the state-owned Jiangzhou Real Estate Development Company, and major construction companies all held an on-site meeting on the second floor of the Jianggang Real Estate Company, a commercial building, to experience the entire process.

The construction cost of each house is approximately eight million, and the difference between the building cost and the selling price of 915 million is the profit of the urban construction company. The sales of these three-story commercial storefronts are the real estate company's revenue, as well as the cost of constructing the community, roads, and other internal environmental facilities in this area.

All parties were watching with bated breath as more than 3,000 apartment buildings with elevators were easily emptied!

Isn't it said that only a very small number of people have ten thousand yuan?
Isn't it said that everyone is still eyeing welfare housing and unwilling to spend money to buy a house?
How come it becomes so simple here?
But after the on-site meeting here, we will immediately move to the Golden Plaza in the city center to see the grand scene after the completion of the commercial real estate there.
