Rovno Oblast, Ukraine.

In the northwest of Rifni City, in more than two months, a brand new residential community emerged on the west side of the Ustya River that was close to the city.

This is November 1st.

The check-in ceremony, co-chaired by the state government and Aldeck, was held today.

A temporary stage was set up in front of the square at the entrance of the community, with guests from all walks of life sitting below the stage, and a large group of media reporters around it.

UFMS President Krim Jereviyanko did not listen carefully to the Governor's speech on the stage. He looked at the beautiful red and white seven-story apartment building not far away for a long time. He said to Sergei Komorov, the head of the Aldek Company who had recently lost weight and was exhausted. "I suddenly realized that our boss should be an idealist."

Sergei Ben, who hadn't had a good rest for more than two months, had no intention of speaking. Hearing Krem say this, he also looked at a large new apartment building not far away. His expression was filled with some satisfaction, but he said, "Do you really think so?"

"What else?" Krim signaled to the apartment building: "Didn't you plan to build a tube building at first? Now, I can't help but move into such a beautiful apartment."

"Actually, I feel the same as you."

"Since that's the case, is there anything wrong with what I just said? A real capitalist should not be willing to spend money to build such a beautiful apartment."

Sergei shook his head slightly: "But, Krim, have you ever thought that these apartments are not that easy to move into."

"Isn't this a matter of course?" Krim said without any surprise. "It would be unfair to live in such a good apartment without enough effort."

Sergei hesitated a little and did not continue to argue with Krim, otherwise he would be suspected of his boss' right and wrong.

Sergei was so satisfied that he could not be satisfied with the first 30 apartment buildings named "Usty Community". In order to complete this project, he has worked hard for the past two months and has lost weight.

Many times, even Sergei himself felt that these apartments were too luxurious for factory workers.

As Krim said, at the beginning, when he received the funds given by Simon, Sergei only wanted to build a batch of tube buildings, which was the kind of shabby apartments that were long and narrow like trains that began to be promoted during the Khrushchev period until now, both in Kiev and Rivny.

Unfortunately, my boss doesn't think so at all.

It is said that it is to build a home for community residents, rather than a cold dormitory.

As a shrewd businessman, Sergei's first reaction was that it would cost a lot of money and it would not be worth the loss.

But this is not something he can decide.

In order to clear the hidden dangers in the west of Rifney City before the cold winter season arrives, there is not much time to argue. In the end, the boss personally finalized the plan to build a unified six-story apartment building, and it must be a one-bedroom, one-living room or two-bedroom, one-living room with a complete kitchen and bathroom.

When Sergey saw the plan given by the boss at first sight, he felt so painful that he finally made a decision.

The boss also compromised slightly.

The sixth floor apartment was added to the seventh floor. As for the eighth floor suggested by Sergei, it was impossible. Even though he didn't know where to ask his boss and said that '8' was a very auspicious number, the reply there was that the eighth floor was too high without an elevator, and the seventh floor was already the limit.

All right.

Because Rovno Prefecture is integrated, the preliminary design planning and project approval took only two weeks. The only thing that made Sergey feel comfortable was that the land given by the state government was almost for free. For this reason, a temporary bill was also issued. As long as you are willing to build cheap resettlement housing for residents in Rovno Prefecture, any developer can get corresponding discounts.

However, except for his own big boss, others will only spend money on the northwest border state of Ukraine if they are sucked.

Moreover, the state government has another idea, limiting the bill to only three years.

In short, it was tailor-made for this project and allocated public land, and 370 hectares were given at one time. In fact, it was originally 250 hectares, but after reporting it, I got a brief reply from the boss, "You are all 250!!!". Everyone was confused, but obviously the boss was unhappy.

So the senior government officials held a meeting overnight to divide allocated land to this project, and the project area immediately increased to 370 hectares.

If you can't finish it, then build a park first and keep it.

In more than two months, Sergei Komorov put down most of the other work of the Oldeck company and has been in charge of the project personally. After two weeks of completion, the ground was immediately broken. In order to rush the work, its Oldeck Construction Company summoned more than 3,000 workers at one time, some of which were Vasily Borisov, the commander-in-chief of the Western Operations Command, who had already served, secretly sent over to earn extra money to the engineers.

The first batch of 30 apartments broke ground at the same time.

Work day and night.

Sergei has lived almost on the construction site for more than two consecutive months.

It took less than 20 days from excavating the foundation to capping the apartment building, and the subsequent water and electricity pipeline laying was also only two weeks.

The temperature in Ukraine was already very low in October. In order to dry the new house as soon as possible to ensure the check-in, 30 apartments turned on the heating system for seven consecutive days, and finally the check-in ceremony was successfully held on November 1st.

Looking back at this time, Sergei felt that he had created a miracle.

Of course, I still feel a little distressed.

It's mainly cost.

Even after Kuch came to power, Ukraine's political situation stabilized and the issuance of new coins successfully this year, the economy is still sluggish. Ukraine's public average monthly salary of US$30 is actually just a joke. Many people still may not even earn US$10 per month. The housing prices in a country or region are basically the same as the average monthly salary of residents.

The average construction cost per square meter of this apartment is equivalent to US$45, which is based on the premise that Sergey not only did not make money from it, but instead personally took charge of the bank's supervisory worker to control costs to the greatest extent.

Unit numbers are difficult to make people feel a lot, and the comparison is quite strong.

According to the original plan for building a tube building, Sergei could ensure that the construction cost per square meter was less than US$20. Now, because all kinds of construction materials have been increased by one level, and the floor cannot be stacked high and the budget is low. Even the separate kitchen and bathroom space means an increase in costs.

In short, the average construction cost per square meter has more than doubled compared to the initial estimate.

If you only calculate the unit area, it doesn't seem to be anything.

However, the entire resettlement community project is planned to build 3.5 million square meters of residential space. Therefore, the price difference between $45 and $20 is expanded to the entire project, which is equivalent to an additional investment of nearly $90 million. This does not count as the total investment of the remaining departments to build supporting funds for schools, hospitals, shopping malls, parks, etc.

The residential area of ​​3.5 million square meters is only equivalent to US$157 million in unit price of US$45, and the remaining US$43 million will be used for these supporting facilities with destined to be lower.

Just looking at these data, your boss is indeed an idealist.

But when you think deeply, things are never simple.

First of all, this newly built community is definitely not something that everyone can rent. At present, employees of companies related to the Westeros system of Rovno Prefecture must be applied. Even if the project is fully completed, the conditions will be relaxed, and there will definitely be some screening. This is obviously another control over the economy of Rovno Region.

The reason is very simple. If the Westeros system is not recognized, some employees under the company will not even be qualified to rent a good house.

Over time, the result can be imagined.

Besides, for residents, it seems that as long as they find a related job, it is enough, but once the residents leave or are fired by the company, they must move out within one month, and even their children can no longer enjoy various supporting facilities related to community schools.

This is also some kind of very deep binding.

The construction specifications of this apartment are already very high, and the surrounding facilities are more superior. You can imagine that as long as you move in and get used to it, you will never want to leave again. Just as the boss imagined, this place is more like home than home.

As a result, it is inevitable that you will be unable to help yourself.

The Westeros system's various enterprises or factories here will never work easily. At that time, if you want to maintain a decent life, you can only accept harsh working conditions and completely give up a life that may be easy but inevitably difficult, and work tirelessly like an ant.

Secondly, there is also cost.

This is a plan personally provided by the team of the boss, and the relevant data are clear at a glance.

Take a couple who have no children as an example. Both work in a factory, each with a monthly salary of US$30 and a total income of US$60.

Then, after the nominal subsidy of 50 square meters of rent here, the rent is still $20, which directly accounts for one-third of the couple's income. In addition, the daily expenses of property water, electricity, gas, etc., even if it is very saving, it will cost at least $10.

The remaining half will not be much left after food, clothing, housing and transportation.

These daily consumption of food, clothing, housing and transportation are basically all in shopping malls, supermarkets, hospitals, karaoke bars, cinemas and other places controlled by the Westeros system. They are equivalent to the salary earned from companies related to the Westeros system and are back in the Westeros system.

For families with children, if you don’t think carefully, you will inevitably be in a difficult situation.

In short, apart from a relatively comfortable and decent environment, it is difficult for people working and living in this area to be left in the end. However, the Westeros system and the large number of factories opened by affiliated companies can continuously create profits for behind-the-scenes capital with low labor costs.

It was precisely because of understanding this that Sergei realized that his boss was not naive at all.

However, if you think about it carefully, Sergei has to admit that this is also the fate of most ordinary people in this world. After all, only a few people can get rid of this fate, and the transcendence of these few people is undoubtedly based on the reincarnation of most people.

Realistic and cruel.

On the stage, Governor Andrei Smirnov delivered his speech. It was Sergei's turn. He quickly put away his thoughts, changed out a smile and walked towards the stage quickly.

In any case, I am already a transcendent and a chess player, why bother to think so much?

After taking turns to deliver speeches and cutting the ribbon, surrounded by a large group of reporters, the guests who participated in the ceremony entered the community to visit the residents' joy of moving.

The first batch of apartments were built next to the river.

There are 14 single-story apartment buildings, including 10 of which are 70 square meters of two bedrooms and one living room, and 4 are 50 square meters of one bedroom and one living room, with a total of 98 apartments in each building, with an effective housing area of ​​6,300 square meters. Calculated based on the living space of 20 square meters per capita, the standard number of residents exposed in each apartment is 315.

There are 30 apartment buildings, which are exactly ten thousand people.

However, this is only an ideal state in the future.

The reason why this community is so rushing to work is to allow residents of the shanty towns in the west who had gathered 100,000 people to move into safe and warm residences as much as possible before the cold winter comes, so as to avoid various situations in the cold weather.

Therefore, the living capacity of the first batch of apartment buildings has been temporarily expanded by more than quadrupled, and 40,000 people are expected to be settled in these 30 apartments.

This is also impossible.

Due to the influx of a large population, even if the rent in the city of Rifney has soared by two or three times in the past two years, it is very difficult to find a place to live. Even the surrounding villages and towns are full of foreign populations, which is why the shanty towns in the west of the city appeared.

Therefore, some plans can only be suspended.

The capacity of residents here has temporarily expanded, and some conditions have not been relaxed, but have been replaced.

In addition to employees who originally worked in companies related to the Westeros system, who can directly obtain occupancy qualifications, employees who originally lived in collective dormitories of some factories in Westeros system also moved to the brand new apartments here, and the dormitories were freed up for residents of the shanty town who had no jobs or had unstable work.

It is expected that before the construction is completely frozen in December, there will be another batch of 30 apartments to be moved into.

After that, the residents of the shanty town will be roughly resettled. Those who have nowhere to be found will be forced to return to their hometowns. The shanty town that has temporarily gathered in the past two years will also be demolished. The Rifni area will no longer allow such a gathering area that may develop into slums in the future.

In order to further achieve its goals, starting next year, the Rovno State will also limit population inflows.

At that time, how many workers will be needed here before they can be put in. Even if some people are inevitable, with the continuous completion of large-scale resettlement communities and the strict control of the authorities, there will definitely be no more shanty towns or even slums.

On the other hand, once the resettlement community is fully completed, it will no longer be allowed to happen similar to group rentals at this time.
To be continued...
