The questions raised by the audience made the host Wu Ying nervous. He turned to the asked Fang Zhe and expected him not to say anything too eye-catching.
But Fang Zhe's answer disappointed him and even frightened him: "I think young people, the sooner they buy a house, the better!"
WOW! Fang Zhe's light words caused a commotion in the whole venue!
The sweat on Wu Ying's forehead is getting bigger and bigger. He believes that Fang Zhe's words will certainly be on the hot search and front page headlines tomorrow!
The audience was in a commotion, and the three leaders on the stage also had different faces. In the eyes of President Ma of Tencent, there was a look of schadenfreude.
One of the most feared mistakes in business is "incorrect politics" or "incorrect values". In the United States, this "incorrect politics" is racial discrimination and in Europe it is "* *", while in China, Fang Zhe's remark "the sooner young people buy a house, the better" is not politically incorrect, but it is definitely contrary to the mainstream values!
In the current mainstream public opinion, advocating young people to buy a house is almost equal to advocating young people's money worship and materialism. Therefore, any public figure will be cautious or even avoid talking about this issue. As the host of the conference, Wu Ying hopes not to discuss this sensitive issue at all!
Unfortunately, Fang Zhe is going to find trouble with nothing. Yes, in Wu Ying's view, Fang Zhe's answer is to find trouble with nothing. He believes that if Fang zhe can't give a reasonable reason today, Fang Zhe and Huizhong will inevitably fall into a public opinion and public relations crisis criticized by the mainstream media and many netizens.
In his opinion, with Fang Zhe's wisdom and vision, it is impossible not to see these negative consequences and effects, but why should Fang zhe say so?
Yeah, why?
Because as a reborn Fang zhe knows that house prices will rise slightly in the next few years. In this case, the sooner you buy a house, the better?
Facing the audience's commotion and confusion, Fang zhe gave his own explanation:
"The reason why I say that the sooner young people buy a house, the better is because I personally predict that house prices in the first and second tier cities in China will continue to rise in the next three to five years!"
WOW! Fang Zhe's explanation not only didn't calm the commotion on the field, but made the commotion on the field more enthusiastic. Many viewers under the stage talked about Fang Zhe's remarks one after another!
"Is there any reason why house prices are still rising when they are so high?"
"Fang is always bragging. He said he would go up if he went up?"
"Yanjing is almost three square meters. How can it rise again? Who can afford to buy it again?"
"I'm not sure. House prices have been rising in recent years. It's normal to rise for another two or three years in the future, but it's a little too exaggerated to rise for another five years!"
"You have forgotten president Fang's nickname? Iron mouth divine calculation. He knows everything like a God. He said that if it goes up, it is likely to go up!"
While the audience talked, the other three leaders on the stage also spoke one after another. The first one to speak was president Li of Baidu. He didn't directly oppose Fang Zhe's prediction, but just joked:
"President Fang won't invest in the real estate industry recently?"
President Li's words sound inexplicable, but when you think about it carefully, you can understand that President Li's meaning is that Fang zhe has invested in the real estate industry, so he entices everyone to buy a house!
Fang Zhe's answer was also ridicule: "yes, Mr. Li, you forgot that I bought several pieces of land next to your house a few years ago?"
President Li suddenly remembered that Huizhong, a neighbor of Baidu, had hoarded more than a dozen pieces of land nearby several years ago. Now several years later, the price of these lands has doubled several times. The return on investment of these lands alone is hundreds of millions of yuan!
President Li's face has turned pig liver color. He is still interested in teasing others. They can easily do a sideline, which is a return of hundreds of millions!
The chat between Fang Zhe and President Li was also really heard by the audience. In their ears, some people seemed not to understand what they were talking about, but some people, especially those who paid enough attention to Huizhong, showed expressions of excitement, joy and admiration on their faces.
They remember that Huizhong has indeed taken a lot of land in different time periods in the past few years, including a new Huizhong headquarters under construction and several, which have been developed into Huizhong's employee apartments in cooperation with third-party real estate companies!
"I remember. I read the news on the Internet six months ago and said that the first batch of old employees of Huizhong live in the newly built employee apartment. The rent of old employees for more than three years is free, and they only need to pay water, electricity and property fees every month."
"Sleeping trough, so awesome, why didn't I meet such a good boss."
"President Fang is too strong. I believe more and more that house prices will rise. No, I have to buy a house quickly when I go back. I can't delay any more. Who knows when I can wait for house prices to fall!"
The audience's comments remained unabated, but more and more people believed Fang Zhe's words. After President Li, President Ma of Tencent couldn't resist the opportunity to attack Fang Zhe, picked up the microphone and said:
"We don't know whether the house price will rise. Just say the current house price, how many young people can afford to buy a house, let alone after the price rise!
So I think young people should take a correct view of buying a house. A house is for living. As long as there is a place to live, where is it different?
Young people should put more energy on improving their personal ability, professional ability and personal quality, on life and on the cultivation of interests and hobbies. When their personal ability goes up and they earn more money, they will have a house naturally! "
In his previous life, Fang Zhe is an ordinary person who doesn't know the future. Fang zhe will greatly appreciate and even applaud his words, because it sounds very reasonable. Indeed, after President Ma said these words, there was a warm applause!
But now, when Fang Zhe, as a reborn person, knows that house prices will rise strongly in the next few years, Fang zhe just wants to say: "go to you * *"
Knowing that house prices will rise and rise fiercely, Fang zhe can't make all kinds of disgusting soul chicken soup!
Therefore, Fang Zhe is still firm in his point of view: "President Ma said very well. If you don't have the idea of buying a house for the time being, you should try to improve yourself. If you already have the idea of buying a house, I'll still say the previous sentence as soon as possible!"
The IT summit ended in a hubbub. Although the theme transformation of the conference was not a topic among ordinary Internet users, and Fang zhe did not put forward trendy concepts such as o2o this year, Fang Zhe's remarks about buying a house early still made headlines on Baidu hot search, microblog hot search and major news websites.
As Wu Ying expected, Fang Zhe's view of buying a house as soon as possible has been criticized by many mainstream media and Internet public as bewitching young people to advocate material money worship. Fang Zhe's remarks that house prices will continue to rise have formed two sides among netizens, one believes and firmly supports it, the other opposes and refutes economist's remarks with all kinds of evidence.
In a word, Fang Zhe and Huizhong have been hotly discussed and criticized, but Fang zhe doesn't care much about these. He dares to express such a view in public because there are deeper reasons for the root cause of the problem of high house prices. Even if the media and Internet users criticize him again, it's nothing more than a big thing. Does Fang zhe say that house prices will rise when house prices rise? I think highly of him!
Compared with the criticism and accusations from the outside world, Fang Zhe, who has just returned to Yanjing, has a more important thing to do, that is to investigate whether the three bat companies are secretly working together to deal with Huizhong!
Fang zhe doesn't believe that when he just attended the IT summit, he saw the three of them talking and laughing. It's an illusion and show. If it's a show, why should he avoid Fang zhe?
