Chapter Summary
Didn't my father say back then that owning a house here is a very good investment? My father bought one 12 years ago for about 80,000 yuan per square meter. Beijing only has such a small area, but so many people come every day, so the house prices can only rise rapidly." Liu Ning felt he understood housing very well, as his own city was similar, though vastly different from here.
"Are you surprised by everything here? I was the same when I first arrived. We're just staying in a hotel temporarily. Anyway, you'll be buying a house soon. Didn't my father say back then that owning a house here is a very good investment? If you keep living in hotels, those bastards will look down on you. When I first came here to study, I stayed in a hotel and suffered so much. No matter how high-end the hotel is, in their eyes you're just from the countryside. Because apart from this city, they don't consider other cities as cities, just gatherings of rural areas. Besides, the houses here appreciate in value very quickly. My father bought one 12 years ago for about 80,000 yuan per square meter. Do you know how much it is now? It's 900,000 yuan now. It almost doubles every year. Beijing only has such a small area, but so many people come every day, so the house prices can only rise rapidly."
Liu Ning felt he understood housing very well, as his own city was similar, though vastly different from here. The current situation was alarming, and whenever things like this happened, Liu Ning felt it was truly terrifying. Because of this, he also found these events to be perfectly normal. So what if housing prices doubled in a year? It didn't bother Liu Ning. Judging from the current situation, prices would continue to rise. Countless people were gathering here, and as long as new residents joined, housing prices would continue to climb, and the rate of increase would accelerate. People felt this was excessive and even demanded government intervention to control housing prices. But could they control such things? Absolutely not. They didn't have that power, because these things were beyond their control.
Hearing the property prices here, Liu Ning was genuinely surprised. He couldn't understand how ordinary people outside managed to live. 900,000 yuan per square meter—even just buying a bathroom would be more than an average person could earn in a lifetime. Unless you never ate or drank from birth, there was absolutely no way you could earn that much. What was the point of these people living in this city? If you only bought a 100-square-meter unit, it would require hundreds of millions of yuan. Did those people even have hundreds of millions of yuan? Therefore, most people in this city lived in hotels, which were basically just rentals. They charged about two or three hundred yuan per night. In Liu Ning's city, that would be enough for a single room, but in this city, it would only give you a bed. If you wanted a good night's sleep and a single room, you would have to pay much more. There was nothing he could do about it; after all, you had to try to establish yourself in this city.
Liu Ning strolled around the room, finding it quite comfortable. He agreed with the furnishings, finding them to suit his tastes perfectly. For Liu Ning, who wasn't concerned with cultivating social refinement, a place that provided shelter from the wind and rain was fine. Zhao Lele, on the other hand, seemed very familiar with everything here. This highlighted the difference in their backgrounds. Whether it was the previous generation or the current one, Liu Ning was unfamiliar with such things because he lived in an ordinary society, completely different from those in the past. But these people were different; they had grown up in wealthy families. If they were to see things from a different perspective, they would understand perfectly well. Because of this, when such things happened, they could only watch obediently, otherwise, there wouldn't be any good consequences. That was the current situation. When Liu Ning decided to do something, he needed to discuss it thoroughly with these people. After all, he was out of touch with reality.
"Let's not think about so much anymore. Let's just have a good meal. Tell us what good food your hotel has to offer. You've been bragging for ages, calling it the best hotel in Beijing, the best hotel in the world, with all sorts of delicious food. My stomach is rumbling. We didn't eat anything good on the plane. If we still can't fill our stomachs here, don't blame me for complaining. Didn't that guy say he could solve all my problems as long as we're in this hotel? I pay you so much money every day, I should enjoy that kind of service. What kind of food do you serve now?"
Liu Ning took out some things he had. For him, thinking too much was pointless; he should just eat. They could eat out, but Liu Ning felt very comfortable here, and the night view was excellent, offering a view of most of the city. Wouldn't it be a waste to eat out here? They'd already spent so much money; they should enjoy themselves. Liu Ning suggested going to some of the food streets to experience the city's culinary delights. However, Zhao Lele clearly didn't want to go out. She was already quite tired; anyone would be tired after such a long flight. So she let them bring the food up; it was her right to enjoy herself.
"Sir, you have excellent taste. Our restaurant has its own unique cuisine. Our best dish is the iron pot barbecue, which is quite interesting because we don't barbecue ordinary meat. Instead, we barbecue whole, flawless wild beasts that frequently appear in the wild. Even the parts on the meat are still there. Many places only sell the meat of wild beasts, but here, the good parts, including the meat itself, are all preserved. It's all original and authentic, without the meat being affected by too many seasonings."
