In recent years, various "expert advice" has been frequently searched. Experts from the Real Estate Research Center of Beijing Normal University suggested that farmers go to the city to buy houses, and suggested that farmers with land needs can live in the city and drive back to the village to farm if necessary. A remark provoked ridicule from netizens!
Recently, experts have put forward suggestions for buying a house! At the Southern Wealth Conference, Meng Xiaosu, a well-known economist, made a proposal to advise everyone to take out one-third of their savings to buy a house and restore China's economy. Netizens fried the pan again! Everyone can't help but ask, why do many ordinary people understand the truth, but these officials and experts seem to not understand?
First, one-third of the savings to buy a house, can restore the Chinese economy?
The entry "experts advise people to take out one-third of their savings to buy a house" quietly rushed to the hot search list. The reason is that Meng Xiaosu, the former chairman of Zhongfang Group, put forward such a proposal, according to the data, the savings of the Chinese people increased by 15 trillion yuan in 2022, if everyone can take out a third of the deposit, then there will be 5 trillion yuan, use this money to buy houses and decorations, then the Chinese economy can recover."
Netizens replied under the news, "If my 1/3 deposit is enough to buy a house, do I still need to persuade?" "It's not enough to take it all, you tell me to take 3/1?" "Experts don't think that the 15 trillion yuan increase is in the accounts of ordinary migrant workers, right?" In fact, for most ordinary people, buying a house is definitely a matter that requires overdrawing all their assets, or even emptying the six pockets of two generations, far from being so easy to take out one-third of the savings.
You know, at present, almost all cities in the mainland have a double-digit ratio of house prices to income. First-tier cities like Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou and Shenzhen are even more exaggerated, with Beijing's price-to-income ratio reaching an outrageous 31 in the first half of 2022. You know, even in cities like New York, London, and Tokyo, which are generally known to be expensive, this value does not exceed 10.
For ordinary people, where does the money come from? Where does the money come from? The main thing is still work income! But under such a ratio of house price to income, how can workers buy houses casually by relying on income alone?
Such a simple truth, ordinary people understand, but these experts and officials who make suggestions do not understand, so it is no wonder that many people have called out experts and suggested that experts should not recommend in the future. So for these experts, do they really not understand? And what is the reason for such a proposal?
Second, why do experts frequently make outrageous suggestions?
In recent years, there has been much discussion around outrageous advice from experts and officials. So why do they frequently make outrageous suggestions? To sum up, there are probably the following two reasons. First of all, it is to stand on your own ground, in order to protect your own interests. In the case of the above-mentioned expert who persuaded people to buy a house, his speech seemed to take a very high position and was aimed at boosting the Chinese economy.
But in fact, because he himself is from the real estate industry and is still the boss of a real estate company, he put forward such a suggestion in essence to benefit his industry. Protecting one's own interests through a statement is probably the underlying reason behind this expert's advice.
But such remarks seem absurd to ordinary people. After all, affected by the epidemic in the past two years, ordinary people have a hard time. Many people's income streams have been affected, and they can barely survive on savings from previous years. In such a situation, expect the common people to come up with money for food to "save the market"? No wonder everyone complains like crazy on the Internet!
Another reason, I am afraid, is that we, the so-called experts and officials, have long been "separated from the masses". They speculate about everyone based on their current state of life, but how can ordinary people's living conditions be the same as theirs?
Just like last year, Xu Xianchun, an economist from Tsinghua University, put forward a proposal to solve the low income of young people, but it was to rent out the vacant house and drive his own private car to rent it out to achieve "flexible employment"? It can be said that it has redefined "flexible employment" on its own.
But the reality faced by more ordinary young people is that they live on a possible meager job income, no house, no car and no savings, and once they encounter a bad economic situation and enterprises lay off employees, they immediately have to live a life of "eating low insurance". It is really impossible to achieve the kind of "flexible employment" that experts say!
III. Summary
After reading so many confusing expert suggestions, as ordinary people, sincere advice experts, don't suggest at will, or do more research first, really understand the lives of ordinary people, and put forward more suggestions that can really solve everyone's difficulties and achieve common prosperity. And don't always say some ungrounded statements, or even treat ordinary people as "leeks" and try to use their influence to harvest for profit.
