Chapter 003: Living in the capital is not easy
In his previous life, Gao Yang worked in the capital, but he never cared about housing prices or considered buying a house in the capital.
Firstly, there is a problem with my horizons, and secondly, I have never thought about living in the capital for the rest of my life.
Looking back later, I feel like I missed hundreds of millions.
Now after hearing Wu Bo's introduction, Gao Yang thought to himself, the current housing prices in Beijing are really cheap.
In about fifteen years, housing prices in this area will increase more than 20 times.
Thinking of these things, Gao Yang asked again: "Teacher Wu, do you plan to buy a house in the capital?"
Wu Bo said with a smile: "It's already in the plan. I went back to Jinyang during the National Day and sold a house of more than 150 square meters with a full set of furniture and appliances. It only cost 96,000. After the Spring Festival, I plan to get a mortgage near the Third Ring Road. A set of about 100 square meters, and buying a car will make traveling more convenient."
Gao Yang raised his thumb: "Awesome!"
Wu Bo smiled and said: "Gao Yang, work hard. You can buy a car and a house in just a few years. You will officially go to work tomorrow. There will be a pre-editor meeting at 9 o'clock in the morning. All the editors and editors will participate. I will introduce you to him then. Everyone knows each other.
In addition, HR will handle your temporary residence permit, work permit, salary card, social security, medical insurance, global mobile phone number, and reporter business card for you, so you don’t have to worry about it.
Just focus on adapting to the new working environment."
After introducing these situations, Wu Bo returned to his work station to rest.
Gao Yang went downstairs and went to a bicycle repair shop near the Mingyuan across the street. He spent 100 yuan and bought a 70% new second-hand bicycle.
Then I rode to the comprehensive market near Capital City, bought a wire bed, bedding and other supplies, tied them to the back seat of my bicycle, and rode slowly back to the office building.
At this time, it was almost 2:30 in the afternoon. Zhang Tao and Wan Hong had both gone out for a meeting. Wu Bo was the only one left in the national version of the workstation area.
Wu Bo called the network administrator, debugged an idle computer, and arranged for Gao Yang to sit at an idle workstation.
Gao Yang sat down and cleaned up this old 586 computer.
Now that conditions are limited, Gao Yang plans to buy a laptop by himself when he has more money, even if it is a second-hand one.
Wu Bo is currently using a laptop, which is naturally provided by the company. However, Gao Yang doesn't like it. It should be a domestic product obtained in exchange for advertisements.
Domestic notebooks of this era are purely of off-brand quality, far from international brands.
Gao Yang registered his own QQ account. In my memory, this was in May or June this year. At Wu Bo's suggestion, he used the only computer in Jinyang Metropolis Daily with Internet access to register.
At that time, Wu Bo suggested that Gao Yang should learn computer typing as soon as possible, and also revealed that when the time was right, he would be introduced to work in the capital.
Later, Gao Yang often went to Internet cafes. The Internet fee was 7 yuan an hour. Although it hurt, Gao Yang could only spend money to go to Internet cafes to practice typing.
Now, Gao Yang doesn't even have a single friend in his QQ account.
None of the young colleagues at Jinyang Metropolis Daily have access to computers yet.
Gao Yang went online and flipped through recent cpi national newspapers for a while. Finally, after 4 p.m., Zhang Tao came back.
As soon as Zhang Tao came back, he greeted him warmly: "Gao Yang, let's go, I'll take you shopping."
Gao Yang smiled and pointed to his side: "I've already bought it."
Zhang Tao glanced at it and said with a smile: "Okay, then you wait for a while and I will write a small manuscript."
After 5 p.m., Zhang Tao finished his work, and two reporters came back from the office area, one man and one woman.
Gao Yang glanced at it and remembered that the female reporter was Lin Yuan, about 163 centimeters tall, from Urumqi. After graduating from university, she applied to cpi as a reporter. Her boyfriend was an engineer at a software company in Beijing.
The male reporter is Sun Chengyi. He is of medium height and has an average appearance. He is from Henan Province and a computer enthusiast. He later went to the Special Administrative Region to do business.
Zhang Tao came over and introduced Gao Yang to the two of them.
Gao Yang is 178 centimeters tall and has a handsome face like a pretty boy. He also likes sports and has a pretty figure, which attracted Lin Yuan to take a second look.
Lin Yuan stared with big eyes: "You are the Gao Yang that Teacher Wu said, you are so handsome!"
Gao Yang smiled slightly: "Thank you, thank you. Please take care of me in the future."
Lin Yuanyu waved her hand and said grandly: "No problem, if you don't understand anything, just ask us."
Sun Chengyi was relatively introverted, so he just smiled and nodded to Gao Yang: "Gao Yang, if you need anything, just ask."
Zhang Tao said: "Gao Yang is staying with me and Wan Hong temporarily, and I will take him back to settle down."
Zhang Tao helped Gao Yang carry his luggage downstairs, hailed a taxi on the street, and went straight to Four Seasons Village in the West Fourth Ring Road area.
In the direction of the West Mountain, the sunset was shining brightly on the horizon. Gao Yang remembered that the autumn colors in the capital city of this era were still very beautiful.
Clear blue skies are common, and there is no annoying smog a few years later.
The house rented by Zhang Tao and Wan Hong is on the third floor. Gao Yang lived here for more than a year in his previous life.
A two-bedroom apartment, plus a small hallway-like living room, is less than 40 square meters at most.
The room Wan Hong lives in is about 15 square meters, with a bed, a small desk, a cloth wardrobe, and half of the room empty.
There were a bunch of large Coke bottles on the ground. Gao Yang knew that Happy Fat House Water was Wan Hong's favorite, but this guy drank one bottle a day and didn't gain weight. He was quite skinny.
After helping Gao Yang make the bed and pack his luggage, Zhang Tao took Gao Yang downstairs for dinner and gave him a room key.
There is only one restaurant at the entrance of the community. This restaurant is Northeastern style, and Gao Yang instantly remembered that he had eaten a lot of pimple soup here in his previous life.
Zhang Tao ordered food, ordered two bottles of beer, and had a drink with Gao Yang:
"Gao Yang, the monthly rent for our apartment is 1,250 yuan. I have discussed it with Wan Hong. We will pay 500 yuan each, and you can pay 250 yuan. The rent has been paid for half a year in advance. From now on, you will pay 250 yuan per month."
In the previous life, Zhang Tao and Wan Hong arranged this. Now, Gao Yang is still very moved.
Gao Yang said: "Thank you. I didn't expect that the rent in Beijing is so expensive."
Zhang Tao said: "This place is close to the Fourth Ring Road and is relatively remote. If it is near the newspaper office, a house of this size cannot be rented for less than 1,800 to 2,000 yuan."
Gao Yang immediately sighed: "Living in the capital is not easy. It seems that it has been like this in all dynasties."
Zhang Tao smiled and said: "Yes, these are ordinary old houses. The high-end boutique community across the street from our newspaper office is called Weber Apartments. It was built last year. In such a community, guess what the house price is and the rent is high.
How many?"
Gao Yang pretended to be curious: "How much?"
Zhang Tao made a drinking gesture: "The house price is 8,000, and the monthly rent for a 100-square-meter house is also 8,000!"
Gao Yang deliberately smacked his tongue: "It's so expensive!"
For a new house of 100 square meters, the purchase price of one square meter can be recovered with one month's rent. This is the extremely high rent in Beijing.
If you buy a house with a mortgage of 20% down payment and rent it out, you will get your down payment back in less than two years.
Naturally, Zhang Tao was the one paying for this meal.
In my memory, Gao Yang worked with Zhang Tao for more than two years in his previous life. As long as he had dinner with Zhang Tao, he could not give out the money in his pocket.
If you don't let Zhang Tao pay the bill, he will get angry with you.
Northeastern men are so bold...
