Regarding Mrs. Qian's house, Mrs. Tang had heard of it and asked, "I heard your house is nearly ten million."
"The housing prices keep rising every day. Real estate experts say that in Beijing, you can't expect house prices to drop in a hundred years. It's expensive, but when you think of it as an investment, it doesn't lose out, it only goes up," Mrs. Qian was almost intoxicated as she calculated, "When I first bought that house, it was over three million, and in less than three years, it's increased more than threefold."
Mrs. Tang felt quite a pinch hearing that. If she had bought it three years ago, how good it would have been. Just being a step slower would mean losing more than threefold. The rise in housing prices was like a rocket, and the speed of making money couldn't keep up with the pace of the house price increase.
After exchanging a few more words, the two women agreed on a meeting time for the next day and hung up the phone.
