Night falls.

Gaoqiao Town, Wuding County, southern Yunnan.

This is the provincial headquarters of the Southern Yunnan Branch.

Two years ago, the town had a population of only about 2.5. In the past two years, about 1.4 people have moved in. Together with a number of outsiders who often stay here, the total population of the town is about 4.3.

The office buildings, dormitory areas and industries of the Southern Yunnan Branch are all concentrated in the southern part of the junction of Gaoqiao Town and Wuding County (Shishan Town), so the Southern Yunnan Branch can also attract workers from the county seat.

In fact, the country has recently been planning to merge some towns and villages.

Hailufeng Company is also making relevant adjustments.

The main reason for the merger is that the rural population is seriously aging. No matter how much assistance is provided to some areas, their traffic restrictions and insufficient education and medical resources are inherent problems and it is difficult to solve the problem fundamentally.

Merging villages and towns is the future development direction.

For example, the total population of a county is 50, which is divided into five or six towns, and each town has a population of about . Then five sets of various supporting facilities and public services will have to be prepared. This is not only a waste, but also an inefficient allocation of resources.

The built-up areas of Gaoqiao Town and Shishan Town in the county will be connected in the next few years, and then the entire county will soon become a whole by abolishing towns and converting them into districts.

To solve this problem, we must first solve two major problems.

The first one is naturally transportation.

The second is the resettlement community.

Now these two problems are not difficult. As long as we are willing to invest, it is estimated that the construction plan of the new county can be completed in a few years.

You know, with the emergence of foam silicon materials, the scale of application in the entire southwest region is getting larger and larger, and it is almost catching up with the local use of steel bars and cement.

In the study room of the dormitory.

Under the light of the desk lamp, Jiang Miao was looking through the relevant financial statements of the Yunnan Southern Branch's subsidiary: Yunnan Southern New World Real Estate Customization Company.

From the financial statements, we can clearly see a new microcosm of the domestic real estate industry.

The trend of blindly pursuing high-rise buildings has been shattered by the wave of ground-floor integrated housing in recent years.

For example, the houses built by New World Real Estate in Southern Yunnan in Wuding County are generally standard 9-story buildings.

Why are all the houses like this?
The answer is that the technology is mature, transportation is convenient, the price is low and the safety is good.

As long as the foundation and underground parking lot are built in advance, the remaining buildings can be directly customized by the factory and then transported and installed by airships. Once the foundation and underground parking lot are completed, it only takes a few days for the building to be occupied and handed over.

Yunnan and Sichuan provinces are areas with dense earthquake belts. Although many local buildings have earthquake-resistant designs after several tragic earthquake disasters, it is still unknown whether these designs can withstand earthquakes of magnitude 8 or above.

Especially in rural and township areas, the vast majority of buildings in these areas are self-built and the quality varies greatly.

The integrated house made of foam silicon material can still ensure the integrity of the main structure of the building even in the event of a magnitude 9 earthquake.

Unless a crack with a width of several tens of meters suddenly appears, the entire building falls into the crack, and then the crack closes and squeezes again, it is possible to crush the house.

Or if the entire building falls into the water, the residents inside the building may be drowned.

The earthquake resistance of the integrated house has also been verified by earthquakes.

In mid-December last year, a magnitude 8.1 earthquake struck the southern part of Shikoku Island in Japan. All 53 single-family houses built there at the time maintained their structural integrity, and the damage rate of indoor facilities was only about 4.3%. After the earthquake, they were readjusted by airship, and normal living functions were restored in less than a few days.

After all, there is no day without earthquakes in Japan throughout the year, it’s just the magnitude of the earthquakes that matters.

Therefore, it is a good place to verify the integrated room of foam silicone materials.

After a field test, the integrated house became the preferred residential building in earthquake-prone areas.

Even the wooden houses that the Japanese used to prefer have been replaced by integrated houses.

After all, no matter how much you like it, it is not as important as your own life. The Japanese have always been a nation with a strong sense of crisis, so they naturally pay more attention to this kind of new technology buildings that can withstand earthquakes.

And an integrated room doesn’t mean you can’t use wooden floors and ceilings.

Of course, reducing the amount of wood and synthetic wood panels used will also be beneficial in terms of fire prevention.

Jiang Miao looked through the report and learned that the branch had received orders for a total of 396717 houses this year. The average retail price of these houses was about 67 yuan, and the average area was 131 square meters.

And the orders are still increasing.

However, this is not the exclusive business of Hailufeng Company. Currently, there are more than 857 companies entering the integrated housing market in China.

These companies are large and small.

There are giant players like Hailufeng Company, state-owned companies like China Railway Group, and several real estate giants that have survived in the past, but many of these real estate giants are no longer doing well.

More companies are local medium-sized real estate companies.

For example, in southern Yunnan, there are currently 22 qualified integrated house production companies.

In addition, some specialized real estate-related companies have developed, such as companies that specialize in the production of integrated houses; companies that specialize in the construction of foundations and underground parking lots; companies that specialize in contracting and interior design projects, etc.

However, since the source of technology is controlled by the Hailufeng Group, the integrated house industry is not in chaos at present, but rather has a thriving development trend.

This is thanks to Hailufeng Company's authorization review of qualified enterprises. This authorization review is conducted once a year. If there are quality problems with the integrated houses produced, it will definitely not pass next year's technical authorization review.

If we lose the technical authorization, what does it matter if we have the qualifications? We still cannot produce integrated houses.

You should know that the integrated house production bases in each region are concentrated in one city, which is very convenient for monitoring quality.

And the one-room house has a "special test" that other houses do not have.

That is airship lifting.

If the quality does not meet the standards or if corners are cut, the integrated house will crack, deform, break, or disintegrate during the lifting process.

In the integrated production process of foam silicon materials, there are only two results: either integration is completed or structural defects occur.

In fact, as long as we pay attention to some process details during the factory assembly and production process, the probability of problems occurring is very small.

In fact, the domestic real estate industry has now adopted robots and AI technologies on a large scale, making it difficult to find problems.

After all, the cost of foam silicon materials is already low enough, and all kinds of production costs have been basically pushed to the point where they cannot be reduced any further. Now major real estate developers can only focus on decoration and services. Trying to tamper with the main structure is really not worth the cost.

Under such a crazy internal circulation situation, in a small city like Wuding County, the housing price is only about 4,000 yuan per square meter, while in Chuncheng, the capital of southern Yunnan, the local housing price is less than 8,000 yuan per square meter.

Except for super first-tier cities such as Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou and Shenzhen, housing prices in other parts of the country are below 10,000 yuan per square meter.

At this stage, real estate makes money through decoration and services, and the profit margin of the main structure is less than 5%.

Of course, the low housing prices are not just a matter of cost reduction and industry involution, but also a legacy of the previous real estate era. Now the country has relaxed some of the restrictions on real estate.

For example, due to restrictions on house construction in rural areas, people can now obtain corresponding residential area through homestead replacement.

For example, in Wuding County, 1 square meter of residential land can be exchanged for 2 to 10 square meters of residential area.

As for how much to replace, it all depends on personal financial resources and needs.

However, there are still some restrictions in the application process. For example, you cannot apply to build on the original site, but instead the location must be arranged by the planning department, or you can gather more than a certain number of people to purchase a residential building in a group.

Among them, group purchase of residential buildings is more popular in the Dianchi Lake area. Usually, a family or dozens of households in a village come together to apply for a residential building.

In fact, this is another important reason for the sluggish housing prices across the country in recent years. That is, it has become easier to apply for rural real estate, and coupled with the increase in employment opportunities in rural areas, the potential for continued expansion of large cities has been suppressed.

Companies like Hailufeng Company, which have a large number of employees, do not play by the rules. Whenever they arrive in a region, they directly engage in real estate projects and do not give other real estate companies the opportunity to reap their employees.

The main point is that I should spend as much money in the company as I earn in the company.

Faced with this situation, other real estate companies could only watch helplessly as a large number of high-quality customers were controlled by Hailufeng Company, without any way to stop them.

To some extent, this also reflects a reality.

That is, the real estate industry is no longer a pillar industry in the country.

The current pillar industries in the country are manufacturing, agriculture and services.

The entire manufacturing chain is covered from low-end to high-end.

Agriculture also covers the entire chain from low-end to high-end.

In the service industry, China is not far behind.

Although America used to be the world's largest exporter of services, the service industry has a fatal flaw, which is that it must rely on the real economy and world hegemony.

Having lost its world hegemony, America naturally cannot maintain its previous service industry scale.

For example, when it comes to purchasing financial products, America's financial products are basically ignored in the international market.

After all, other countries, companies and investors are not stupid. How can these financial products guarantee their value after you lose world hegemony? Is it just because you are so shameless?

The service industry is such a special industry that it must be supported by the real economy, otherwise it will fall apart sooner or later.

Serbia has the world's most powerful and comprehensive manufacturing and agriculture industries, so it can naturally develop the world's largest service industry system.

Therefore, among the various industries in the country, the agricultural population is generally in a downward trend, the industrial population is almost the same as before, but the service industry personnel are rapidly absorbing the country's abundant labor force.

However, there are still relatively large restrictions on domestic service industries such as finance, and they are becoming increasingly stringent.

On the contrary, similar to medical staff, the scale has been expanding in recent years.

Jiang Miao actually knew a lot of inside information.

After all, he had a part to play in this.

The reason why he pushed for the expansion of medical care was, on the one hand, that the aging of the domestic population was becoming increasingly obvious, and Northeast Asia, which had joined the Asian Community, also had a serious aging population. Only Southeast Asia had a large number of young labor forces, but it was estimated that they could only barely support it for another 20 to 30 years.

On the other hand, the medical care industry is also a good direction for realizing the return of pensions.

Many retired elderly people have considerable pensions, and they can bring this money back into the financial system by providing medical services.

Although due to the rapid economic growth in the country in recent years, the economy seems to be booming.

But many problems are just covered up or delayed by the booming economy, which does not mean they have been completely solved.

Jiang Miao made many suggestions in this regard, all of which were adopted and formed into new strategies.

Although there are still many very difficult problems, Jiang Miao is not too worried. This is mainly because of the previous lessons and the great economic development in recent years. America has retreated back to North America, so we still have at least a dozen years to solve these problems.

With so much buffer time, the problem can still be solved as long as adjustments are made step by step.

Jiang Miao is more optimistic about this.

After reading the reports, he took a sip of hot ginger tea, looked up, and saw Shuya was also looking at something, but he did not disturb her.

After getting up, he picked up the teacup and went to the balcony.

The cold night wind blew his hair. He looked at the street not far away. Even though it was almost eleven o'clock in the evening, it was still brightly lit. Many food carts on the streets were still operating in full swing.

A slight smell of barbecue wafts across my nose in the wind.

He leaned on the iron chair on the balcony, took a sip of hot ginger tea, picked up a telescope, and took a look at the bustling food street.

The equipment of those snack carts is also keeping up with the times, with a variety of light and durable tables, chairs and tableware, as well as the local seasonal mushrooms that were previously available all year round.

In the footage, he even saw a barbecue stall selling matsutake slices and porcini mushrooms.

These ingredients were obviously rarely seen at barbecue stalls in the past, but now they appear one by one.

“Technology really changes our lives.”

"What technology changes our lives?" Shuya's voice sounded behind him.

He smiled and turned around, only to see Shuya coming towards him with a coat and draping it over his shoulders.

"keep warm."

"Thanks."

Shuya looked at the binoculars he had put down, then looked at the food street not far away: "Would you like to find a chance to go shopping there tomorrow?"

Jiang Miao shook his head when he heard this: "No, there are too many people moving around in the food court, and it's hard to guarantee that there won't be any problems with security."

"Okay!" Lin Shuya also understood her husband's concerns. Their identities meant that they couldn't just go to this kind of food street.

Jiang Miao smiled and changed the subject: "Let's go to Yulong Snow Mountain tomorrow and take a look at a confidential project of the company!"

"Does our company have a confidential project near Jade Dragon Snow Mountain?" Shuya showed a hint of surprise.

He explained: "It's the seed project."

"Oh, the seed project." Shuya immediately understood the situation in her mind: "Has that project been completed?"

"Ah."
