Chapter 152: It’s My Treat, But You’ll Pay

School district houses?

Everyone looked at one another. It was obvious that they were unfamiliar with this kind of real estate product.

It was no wonder that everyone had such a reaction. There were no school district houses in this era. After all, in a sense, school district houses were derivatives of the real estate market. After a few years or even after a decade, because of the monopoly of educational resources, there would be a hierarchical classification in society. This was also the major obstacle to modern education reform.

With the development of modern technology, textbook content set by countries in the last century could no longer keep up with the needs of the times. The appearance of school district houses reflected the disadvantages of the current education system. It mainly reflected the imbalance in the distribution of educational resources in a city, resulting in some so-called ‘good’ high-quality primary schools, secondary schools, and high schools. This also reflected the unfairness of education.

In the future, once the student enrollment numbers in Baiyun City exceed the load, the admission criteria would become very harsh. Owning a house around the school would become a rigid condition for enrollment.

This was also why after ten years, a basement in the capital could be sold for two hundred thousand yuan per square meter, and the prices would still continue to rise. This was because its location was near the key schools.

With this basement, one’s child could study in this school.

However, Jian Ai couldn’t tell everyone these reasons because no one could predict the future so confidently.

Even if Jian Ai came from the future.

Even so, Jian Ai’s reason was convincing. As she said, if the houses near the schools entered a situation where supply was insufficient, building a high-end residential area would be an ideal choice.

However, the difficulty in front of everyone was not the development project but the construction difficulty.

“Of course!” Jian Ai changed the topic and smiled. “I know that everyone’s headache is the construction difficulty. I also have a headache. We naturally can’t violate the city’s rules. But since we can’t violate them, we should calm down and accept them.”

“We’ll start whenever we can. The completion of a project is not something that can be completed in a day. Furthermore, this is the development of an over ten thousand square meters piece of land.”

At this moment, Bai Zhou also said, “That’s right. As long as we keep moving, we’ll be one step closer to completion. Even if it’s three to five years, or even longer, the school district houses will be completed one day.”

The operations director of the development department, Wang Hui, nodded and said, “As the CEO said, the value of school district houses can only be shown in a few years. It doesn’t reflect the value of the houses around the school now.”

“That’s right.” Jian Ai nodded. “Therefore, before the business of school district houses expands, we have a lot of time to make use of it. Although indirect construction will require more capital investment, I believe that the returns this residential area will bring to the company in the future will be more than worth it.”

Jian Ai’s confidence infected everyone. Wang Hui said, “Our development department will draft a location for the project as soon as possible.”

Han Yuandong nodded in agreement. “The planning department will also conduct preliminary evaluations of the project and calculate the investment budget. We will come up with a complete plan the moment we receive the draft from the development department.”

Seeing that everyone’s morale had recovered, Jian Ai couldn’t help but nod in satisfaction. Then, she heaved a sigh of relief and said to everyone, “In order to welcome everyone at M Group, I’ll treat everyone to a meal tonight.”

As soon as she finished speaking, she looked at Bai Zhou. “You’ll pay!”
