Chapter 1215 House Prices That Will Make You Cripple (Give +13 to Gentle and Refined)

Chen Hui said to Xiao Wei, "That's about right, generally around a thousand yuan, thirteen thousand is normal. Zhang Yanhong, are you getting your probationary salary?"

Zhang Yanhong nodded: "Yes, the probationary period is six months. After the probationary period, the salary is 1,200 yuan, plus a car allowance of 150 yuan. I still have one and a half months left."

Xiao Wei asked, "No bonus or anything?"

Zhang Yanhong said, "It's good enough if I can get a permanent position. Many people are fired as soon as their probation period is over. There are plenty of graduates now, and they still dare to think about bonuses. Private companies don't give bonuses. Bosses would rather pay less wages and work hard for free."

Xiao Wei said, "Are there no jobs for college graduates these days? Aren't you supposed to find a job and take an exam?"

Sister Wang said, "You still need to find a job first. You can't just go wherever you want. Besides, there are colleges, vocational schools, high schools, and technical secondary schools. Where are there so many places waiting for you? They're not assigning jobs anymore."

What kind of people can get into government agencies? You need strong connections to get in. Most of them just get into any company, and even then, they're still just workers. Don't you know about state-owned enterprises?

New employees earn three or four hundred yuan a month, maybe five or six hundred yuan, and that's about it. They barely scrape by; it's hard to say when they'll ever earn a thousand yuan.

Zhang Yanhong said, "Now, after graduation, we all stay at home and wait for opportunities. Even if we can find someone to help us, we still have to wait until there is a vacancy. So now, my classmates and I are all out looking for jobs. Staying at home means we don't have any money."

At least I have an income outside. Even if I don't help my family, I can support myself, and who knows, maybe an opportunity will come along. My hometown is a small county town; the economy isn't good, so I came here with my classmates.

Chen Hui asked her, "What about your classmates?"

Zhang Yanhong said, "We're all working here, each looking for our own jobs. We can't be together all the time. At first, we'd chat and hang out, but then we got busy and exhausted, so we gradually drifted apart. I haven't seen them for months."

Wan Bin said, "Kyoto is too big. It would take my classmate half a day to travel here by train. I don't have the time."

Chen Hui asked Wan Bin, "What do you do for a living?"

Wan Bin said, "Information management, well, you've used a computer before, right? The computers within a company can be connected to form a local area network, and they can transfer files to each other. That's what I do for maintaining."

Chen Hui said, "That's pretty impressive. Only a little over a thousand for this job? I don't think so. That Ping guy said his installation engineer only makes two or three thousand the other day, right?" He turned to Xiao Wei and asked.

Xiao Wei nodded: "More than two thousand plus commission, they said it would be three or four thousand."

Wan Bin said, "You're talking about the computer company in Zhongguan Village, right? I know it, I've been there. They don't need anyone. There are a lot of people learning computers these days."

Sister Wang said, "Right now, private companies like cosmetics, clothing, and beverage companies offer slightly higher salaries, but they have fewer employees and are extremely tiring. You have to run around doing marketing."

Xiao Wei asked, "What's the average salary in private companies right now? In Kyoto."

Wan Bin said, "It depends on the industry, they're all different. Five hundred yuan, I guess. People like Sister Wang earn a lot, and mine is considered high. Salespeople earn two or three hundred yuan a month, they have to rely on commissions to make money. Salespeople earn two or three hundred yuan a month, and they get commissions for selling more."

Xiao Wei was taken aback: "So low?"

Chen Hui said, "About the same. The cleaning staff there only make three or four hundred yuan, and the office staff make six or seven hundred yuan."

Sister Wang said, "I heard that the wages are higher in eastern Guangdong, and also in Shanghai, but I haven't been there so I don't know if it's true."

Chen Hui said, "The prices are higher in eastern Guangdong, Shenzhen, and Shanghai. The cost of living is too high there."

Zhang Yanhong said, "That's right, we spend all our money on food and sleep, and we don't even have money to buy clothes."

The chef pushed the food cart over and started serving the sliced ​​duck. Xiao Wei asked Sister Wang and the others, "Would you like something to drink?"

Wanbin said, "Let's have a beer."

Zhang Yanhong shook her head: "I won't drink, I won't drink anything."

Sister Wang said, "Xiao Hong can't drink alcohol, so how about I have a drink with you? I can handle anything."

Chen Hui said, "Forget it, let's each have a bottle of beer. Xiao Wei doesn't drink, let him have juice with Zhang Yanhong."

They called the waiter over and brought over some juice, and then everyone started eating.

Xiao Wei asked Wan Bin, "If there were a place like this, about ten square meters, with a bathroom, how much would you rent it for? The transportation would definitely be convenient."

Wan Bin said, "What kind?"

Xiao Wei said, "It's on the ground floor, in an apartment building with an elevator, the kind that's thirty or forty stories high."

Wan Bin said, "Three or four hundred, but no more than five hundred."

Sister Wang said, "Well, five or six hundred yuan is not bad. Who would want to live underground if they had that kind of money? The problem is that we can't find a place to live."

Zhang Yanhong said, "If it's close to the company, a slightly higher price is fine, since I don't need to take a car."

Xiao Wei thought for a moment and said to Chen Hui, "If it's thirty-five floors, it will take more than ten years to recoup the cost, about fifteen years, based on 1,200 square meters."

Chen Hui said, "That depends on the total building area. We can build supporting facilities for the office building, and then add some residential units for sale. We can also sell part of the office building itself."

Xiao Wei shook his head: "There's too much pressure. Let Dean Cheng do a proper calculation; it'll be funny if this gets wrong."

Chen Hui said, "Now office buildings sell for more than 10,000 to 20,000 yuan per square meter, while commercial storefronts vary depending on the location, ranging from 50,000 to 60,000 yuan per square meter to 10,000 to 20,000 yuan per square meter."

Xiao Wei looked at Chen Hui in surprise: "It's that tall? The house only costs a little over a thousand yuan."

In 1995, the average house price in Kyoto was just over 1,000 yuan within the Second Ring Road. It never even reached 2,000 yuan by 1998. People who saved up to buy a large mobile phone or a high-end mobile phone back then probably regretted it later. And that was for apartment buildings; single-story houses and courtyard houses only cost a couple hundred yuan.

Chen Hui said, "Yes. The New World near Fuchengmen sells for over 30,000 yuan per square meter. I checked, and it's a sales company operated by Hong Kong. We're not hoping for that. Selling for 15,000 to 20,000 yuan per square meter shouldn't be a big problem."

Sister Wang asked, "What exactly do you two do? Sell houses?"

Xiao Wei said, "I'm planning to build a house. Sister Wang, what do you do at your workplace?"

Sister Wang said, "Finance. That's what I studied. I used to do this back in my hometown. I don't know anything else."

Chen Hui nodded and said, "If it's finance, that's about right. A salary of over two thousand is simply impossible for the average person."

Sister Wang said, "Who said that? Some of our sales staff earn four or five thousand."

Xiao Wei said, "Are cosmetics really selling that well now?"

Sister Wang said, "The foreign brands we represent are doing relatively well; they have counters in various department stores. But now there are more and more counterfeiters in eastern Guangdong, so it's not easy to do business there anymore. We mainly make money by developing beauty salons."

Chen Hui asked, "Why? Aren't they all just for sale?"

Sister Wang said, "How can they be the same? They're completely different."
