Under worldly vision, my friend should be considered a successful person, in his early 30s, working in a medium-sized Internet company in Guangzhou, with an annual salary of 400,000 yuan, and a family of more than 100 flats in a flower, driving a Toyota car, and his wife and children kangtou . He is a child of someone else’s family in the eyes of his elders. He grew up as a school bully. His high school was the best Shantou Jinshan Middle School in Chaoshan, and his university was the best Zhongshan University in Guangdong.

I admire him very much and think that he has everything, but Xueba also has troubles. He is worried that his children will not be admitted to Sun Yat-Sen University like him, because the current house degree is very poor. Will be on the starting line with children in nearby villages.

At the weekend, he WeChat said that he wanted to change a degree room in the urban area. I asked where I wanted to buy it. He said Dongshankou, I felt a bit queasy. That’s Guangzhou or even the whole Guangdong province The best quality area, so we met together to see the room.


The old city where famous schools are gathered

Dongshankou is located in Dongshan District, a famous old city in Guangzhou. There was once the saying that “the rich have the potential to live in Dongshan”. The title of “Master Dongshan” is the name for the rich children here However, it was merged by Yuexiu District in September 2005, and since then there has been no Dongshan District.

Dongshankou subway station is a spacious street, many restaurants, unlike business people in Tianhe District, people here walk slowly, revealing the elegance and dignity of old Guangzhou.

Going forward there is a Dongshan department store, which has been open for more than 20 years.

The department store is at a crossroads, and there are many students coming and going.

Turn left at the crossroad and there is a straight street in front of Miaoqian. The straight street in front of Miaoqian will walk to Yandun Road. The school is veryDense.

First of all, I will go to Zhuqian Road Primary School. This school was founded in 1943. It is a very good school in Guangzhou, but it is only in Yuexiu District where famous schools are gathered. Can be counted as the second echelon.

Continue forward, there is a street on the left called Sibeitongjin, turn in there is a Dongfanghong kindergarten tens of meters.

This kindergarten has a great beginning. It was established in 1950. It is a first-level kindergarten in Guangdong Province and one of the two model parks in Guangzhou. “Working Regulations for Kindergartens”, this is one of the top ten pilot gardens. It is a kindergarten that countless parents want to enter.

Next to the kindergarten is a church, antique.

Continue to walk along the straight street in front of Miaoqian Street. When you reach Yandun Road, you will encounter Dongshan Peizheng Primary School.

This is the school my friend is looking for. Together with Dongfeng East Road Elementary School, Xiaobei Road Elementary School and Wende Road Elementary School, it is called the elementary version of “Guangzhou IV” “Daming School”, founded in 1889, has many branches in Hong Kong and Macao, and the children who can study here are either rich or expensive.

Puizheng Elementary School is lined with rows of villas and villas. These buildings were built by overseas Chinese in the 1930s. There are more than 600 houses in Dongshan District. Dongshankou is the most densely populated here.

Many long-legged celebrities will come here to take pictures.

Most of the gates of foreign buildings are equipped with elegant sculpture ornaments, and at a glance, you know that there are cultural people living inside.

Opposite to Peizheng Primary School is the seventh middle school, founded in 1888, called Peidao Girls’ Middle School in the 1990s, and a first-class school in Guangdong Province.

The tens of meters in front are Peizheng Middle School and a provincial-level school.

Going straight along Yandun Road will encounter another promising kindergarten-Yandun Road Kindergarten.

Founded by a foreign missionary in 1909, it is one of the oldest kindergartens in Guangzhou, and the entrance to the kindergarten is covered with honor medals.

Looking inside, I found that there is actually a boat in the sand pond played by children. It seems that there is a lot to teach here.

The learning atmosphere of Dongshankou is very strong, and there are many teaching auxiliary institutions in an alley.

The children who grew up here cannot have poor academic performance, my friend said proudly.


Look at the house

Many real estate agents who pass by will write the degree room of XX school at the door. They know that most of the people who look at the house come to the degree room.

< /p>

Go to an intermediary to find out the price of second-hand housing. The younger sister looked at us and casually said seven or eighty thousand and went back to work. Maybe it’s because of us. I felt that I couldn’t afford it. Fortunately, a fat older sister next door received us.

Fat sister said that the nearby degree houses are relatively old, most of them were built in eight years or so, and they were all converted into houses. If the average price is between 60,000 and 80,000, ask us what we want to see.

Friends talked about their basic situation. Huadu’s house has no loan. If you sell it, you can cash out 1.5 million. With your own deposit, the down payment is about 2 million. It is not a problem. According to the average price of 70,000, a total of A 70-square-meter small three-bedroom apartment with a price of about 4.9 million yuan is more suitable.

I calculate next to it, the total price of 4.9 million, according to the 40% down payment, necessary loan of 2.94 million,25 years, and the equivalent principal of 20,000 yuan per month A thousand dollars secretly squeezed sweat for a friend.

After talking for a while, the fat sister took us to see the house. On the way, my friend asked how to get to the two kindergartens. The fat sister said that she would draw lots. The winning rate is about 20%. More than 2,000 a month. After a while, the fat sister said: Noah, the house is above this building.

The house is a typical 80s old-fashioned house with dark walls and interlaced cables connecting several buildings like spider silk.

The water on the ground at the door is spotted. The iron shed on the top seems to have been hit by hail and many holes.

Looking up, there are more than a dozen floors.

Go up the stairs, and every wall of the house is written with words like Don’t Pour Garbage, Don’t Park Vehicles.

The door seems to have been caught by something.

The house is still being renovated. Inside it is all cement floor, about 70 square meters, the total price is about 4.6 million.

After watching my friend, I was not very satisfied, so I set off to see the second set. After passing a construction site on the road, the fat sister said that a new building was being built here. The degree of Peizheng Elementary School, 60-79 square meters, average price 12 About 10,000, so at least 7.2 million for a suite.

Fat sister also said that in fact, those villas and houses are also sold, one square meter is sold for 140,000, but there are not many people who buy them. My friend asked those degree rooms So old, is it possible to demolish in the future? The fat sister said that it is impossible. The height of the new building here will be limited to a maximum of 9 floors. The average price of the house is high. Demolition is very cost-effective.

Walking all the way to the location of the second suite, I saw a lot of people hanging clothes outside, and there were a few pieces of underwear blown off by the wind.

Looking closer, it turned out that the black wall was covered by blue moss.

The paint on the stairway walkway has come off, exposing the yellow bricks inside.

The house is a set of two rooms with 66 square meters. The fat sister said that the room is bigger and you can change it to 3 rooms.

The total price is 4.6 million. The fat sister said that the landlord of this suite is a foreigner in his 50s, who bought it here several hundred thousand years ago. Later, his children went to Zhixin Middle School after finishing Peizheng Elementary School. Zhixin is the middle school version of “Guangzhou’s four famous schools”, and then went abroad to study undergraduates, all the same as Kaihang.

Later we went to see a few more sets, the total price is more than 5 million, the main reason for the expensive is that the house is decorated like a five-star hotel, you can directly carry a bag, and many landlords will do this in order to sell high prices.

After passing through a tubular structure house, I looked up and saw the feeling of a frog at the bottom of the well. Through the leaked sunlight, I saw a smile on my friend’s face as if bathed in the holy light of a famous school.

On the way back, I have been thinking, if I can withdraw 2 million cash like him, and can afford a mortgage of 20,000 per month,< strong> Am I willing to give up the extravagant life in the suburbs and live in such a house for six or seven years in order to gain a better prospect for my children?

I don’t know.
