Chapter 386: How to own five buildings

"So that's why Sunshine City's marriage and fertility rates have been so high for three years in a row." Bai Liu pondered, "So it's because of this [Sunshine Nursery] loan."

Mu Sicheng was creeped out by the sound of this, "Mortgaging the birth of a child? Won't these kids run away if they grow up and realize they've been mortgaged?"

The grandmother sighed and shook her head, "You can't run away, as long as you come to Sunshine City, there's no way to leave at all until you pay back the loan."

"My partner and I haven't left this place for sixty years since the day we started to borrow money to buy a house, until today." The old man looked out of the E area which was covered by the tall buildings and only let in a sliver of sunlight, his eyes showed a fleeting longing, "Sometimes I want to go outside to have a look, but as soon as I take a day off from work, I don't have any more."

"I really hope, after ten years of paying off the loan, there will be some money left over for us to live to see the outside world ah."

"In Sunnyside, I've never seen the whole sun in all my life."

The old grandfather sighed softly, but before the words were out of his mouth he covered it and choked violently, and great mouthfuls of bloody pus poured out of his mouth and nose.

The grandmother next to him took it for granted to take out a small handkerchief from her chest to wipe the old grandpa, and nodded her head to Bai Liu and the others with embarrassment: "I'm sorry to hear that, we both work on the construction site, and there is too much dust, so the respiratory tract has always been bad, and it's an old problem."

"Every month's medical expenses is a large sum of money, when we were young, we should really wear a good protective shield, should not be in order to rush to work so little time." Granny slightly reproach patted the old man's back, a long sigh, "you see now, in order to see the doctor more to go, right?"

Tang Er hit took out a bottle of water, slowly feeding the old man dry cough, frowned and asked: "This is the occupational disease caused by long work, right? It's considered a serious work injury, won't your company pay compensation?"

Both the old man and the old grandmother were slightly confused when they heard this, "What kind of work injury and what kind of compensation?"

Tang Er hit just wanted to open his mouth to explain, but remembered that here all kinds of bizarre system, under these bizarre system, the company to give employees compensation for occupational diseases is simply a luxury over the top, so he just opened his mouth and closed, and finally just stiffly said "nothing", to muddle through the topic.

On the contrary, the old man slowly drank two mouths of water, slowed down to think about Tang Er hit the words, seems to understand Tang Er hit the meaning, he shook his head as if he felt funny: "Eh, ah, after a few decades of work on the construction site, to my age, everyone is going to get this kind of disease, the company where the management over ah, the medical cost is so expensive. "

"They opened the company to make money not to do charity." The old man waved his hand, "Managing your medical bills for decades? Where is it that good."

Bai Liu followed the old man's slow pace side by side, "I've noticed that there are a lot of new citizens coming to Sunnyside, are you a Sunnyside native or an immigrant?"

"My old partner and I are both immigrants." The old man looked to Bai Liu, "Sunny City has fewer immigrants these days, and more immigrants from the earlier batch with me!"

Bai Liu followed up by asking, "Why were there so many immigrants in Sunnyside in the early years?"

"Because we had a loan program in that batch called [Sunshine New Home]." The old man's memory didn't seem to be very good anymore, stopping to gaze at his memories, "I can't remember exactly how the terms were, anyway, it was that if you came to Sunshine City and were ready to buy a house, and at the same time you could bring in more than twenty outsiders to Sunshine City to buy a house, then you'd get a subsidy for the price of the house of almost three million dollars."

"At that time, everyone bought pretty much a 30-square-foot house, right, with an average price of 200,000, so that's basically equivalent to a 50% discount!" The old man's face with celebration, "Although the salary level at that time is not high, one or two thousand a month it, but it is still a good deal!"

The grandmother nodded approvingly, "Biting the bullet and buying a house at that time was the best decision we ever made."

"At that time, we were still reluctant to come over." The grandmother couldn't help but cover her mouth and laugh as she recalled, "So anxious that the opposite side shouted out something like [If you're a brother, help me cut three million]."

"Right, because at that time my old partner and I was also coaxed by friends, because the other side needs 20 outsiders to come over to buy a house in order to here to enjoy [Sunshine New Home] this loan service." The old man's head slightly raised, recalling the past, "At that time in my friend's vigorous lobbying, I am a righteous person well, a bite or buy, behind me also in order to enjoy the [Sunshine New Home] this service, called twenty friends to come over to buy a house."

The old man waved his hand with a proud face, "Of course, they're all grateful to me now, or else they would never have been able to afford a house according to the current property prices."

Bai Liu's eyes twitched, "Yes."

No wonder there are so many new immigrants in this Sunnyside city, it turns out to be this kind of pyramid scheme to pull people in.

A person to come here to buy a house to repay the loan, will lead to twenty people to come here to buy a house to repay the loan, twenty people to buy a house will lead to four hundred people to come over, and once in the sunshine city here to buy a house, have a loan people can't go, so a wave of a wave down, people will be completely trapped in the sunshine city.

"Is this [Sunny New Home] loan program still available?" Bai Liu inquired softly, "I see there are still quite a few immigrants coming through."

"Long gone." The old man shook his head, "Now that Sunshine City's population can rise quite a bit a year just by giving birth, there's no need for foreigners to be brought in, and the immigrants who are coming over now are probably not well-informed enough, and don't know that [Sunshine's New Homes], the loan, was canceled a long time ago, and they didn't catch up with the trip."

The grandmother exclaimed, "This group of young people came too late, come a little earlier to catch up with the good times, just by pulling people will be able to buy a nice, 20 square feet or so house in Sunshine City."

"Eh, nowadays housing prices are really high, no wonder you young people are forced to live in cemetery houses." The old man couldn't hide his sigh, "You guys have this house on your hands to live in is basically a dead person, you guys are really bold too, you still dare to buy it to live in."

Bai Liu quickly seized on the key word: "Cemetery room?"

The old man gave Bai Liu and the others a wry look, his tail tone rising as he questioned, "Don't you know? 444 18th Road in E is the cemetery of Sunshine City."

Mu Ke paused for a split second, "But how can it be a cemetery when the real estate license says 18th floor?"

"Right." The old man explained naturally, "Our cemetery here is also a building, hollowing out the ground and building downwards, with the one close to the ground as the first floor of the cemetery, the lower the floor the higher, usually there are 18 floors in each tomb, the one you got is the top floor, it can also be said that it is the bottom cemetery, it's the worst cemetery floor."

"the bottom floor are all big family cemeteries, usually can put a whole family's body, there are 3-5 square meters, removing the equalization is usually more than 2.7 square meters, most of them are bought by rich first class citizens, the top ones are usually only 1,2 square meters, removing the equalization is only about 1.5 square meters, can only put one body, not so good, they are all still for sale now, the This 2.5 square meters or so you guys have is considered big."

"Down to the 18th floor of the cemetery?!" Mu Sicheng was a little giddy even listening to it, "What's the difference between this Damn it and the 18th floor of hell."

The old man heard really thought Mu Sicheng in jest, but instead also laughed a little, "This is the characteristics of the Sunshine City ah, cemeteries and buildings are the same as high-rise buildings, otherwise a cemetery accounted for a piece of land, how expensive ah, everyone can not afford to buy."

"But don't buy this cemetery room to live in." The old man laughed and then seriously hitched a ride on Bai Liu's said, solemnly exhorting, "I know some young people are greedy for the cheapness of this cemetery room and buy it as an abode, but don't live in it."

"If you can live in a murder house, why can't you live here?" Bai Liu asked rhetorically with a raised eyebrow.

This old man lowered his voice and leaned in to whisper in Bai Liu's ear, "There is no elevator in the cemetery building, so if you want to go back to this 18th floor cemetery room to rest after work at night, you'll have to walk down one floor at a time by yourself, passing by all the cemetery rooms."

"But it's a dead man's place, and they come out at night and move around."

"When you live in a murder house, you will only meet one ghost, but when you live in a cemetery, you will meet a first-floor ghost, and you can still hide from one ghost, but where do you hide from a first-floor ghost? It's too late to even run up to the ground."

The old man slightly choked and coughed, and patted Bai Liu's shoulder in a serious manner, "Living in a dead place will really become dead, young people, it is better to work hard to earn money and try to buy a Sunshine City house on the ground."
