In 2011, Huang Rulun, the boss of Century Jinyuan, came to Fuzhou with 7 billion in cash, planning to build it into a super community that can accommodate 100,000 people, and sell it to all the hard-working people in big cities who can't afford a house in the city at a price clos

A full 10 years have passed since the villa complex ( Diyi Headquarters Economics ) in front of me that looks like Moon Bay was opened in 2011, and no family has lived in it yet.

Next to Moon Bay, there is another villa group with luxurious water views (Honghui Diequan Bay). Eight years have passed since it opened in 2013, and it is still uninhabited.

On the other side of the two villa groups, there is a villa area (Guigu, China) that was opened in 2013. However, in 2015, news of the construction site being suspended was reported, and it was not until 2021 that things turned around.

All the villas here seem to have been quietly pressed on the pause button, and they are covered in dust by this beautiful clear water lake from beginning to end.

In 2011, Century Jinyuan boss Huang Rulun came to Fuzhou with 7 billion in cash, planning to build it into a super community that can accommodate 100,000 people, and use it as a personal It is sold at the price of ordinary people to all the people who are working hard in the big city but can never afford a house in the city. In the past ten years, 42,000 families have settled here. Many young people have married their beloved girls because they have a house, and have lived a contented life ever since.

Someone once asked Huang Rulun why he did this. His answer was "Because this is my hometown."

In 2011, the price of new houses in Fuzhou City had risen to 15,000 yuan per square meter. At that time, the average monthly salary in Fuzhou was only more than 3,000 yuan. It would take 30 years of deprivation to buy a 70-square-meter house in the city. Although Gui'an is more than 20 kilometers away from Fuzhou, its price was less than one-third of Fuzhou's, which seemed quite cheap at the time.

On the opening day, all 1,300 units launched in the first phase were sold out. Seeing how hot the market was, Century Gold Resources urgently launched more than 3,000 units, which were still sold out instantly. The real estate market at that time was in a state of short supply. However, some of the more than 3,000 home buyers were real real estate buyers, while the other part were real estate speculators who came to make a profit on the price difference. Some wealthy people bought more than 10 or 20 houses in Gui'an in one fell swoop. After buying them, they could not live in them or renovate them. They just kept them vacant, waiting for the house prices to rise.

In 2013, the hot house buying wave pushed Gui'an to its peak. More and more people knew about this mountain town, and it attracted many small local developers to settle in. They were planning how to eat into the big cake of Gui'an. Century Gold Resources quadrupled the original investment of 7 billion yuan to more than 30 billion yuan. The big bosses wanted to build more higher-end houses in such a remote mountain town.

The reason why the big bosses have such sufficient confidence is not only the hot market popularity, but also the history and culture of Gui'an that has been passed down through the ages.

As early as the Tang Dynasty, more than 1,000 years ago, Gui'an hot springs have become famous all over the world. According to the county records of Lianjiang, Fuzhou, Emperor Hongwu, Zhu Yuanzhang, passed through Fujian a year before the founding of the Ming Dynasty. He heard that the hot springs here were unique, so he made a special trip here.

Only later did people learn that the daily mining volume of Gui'an hot springs can reach 7,000 tons, and the average water temperature reaches 82 degrees. It is actually a rare hot spring resource in the country.

In the Song Dynasty, the famous thinker " Zhu Xi" once stayed here and gave lectures. Later, after Zhu Xi left, local residents built a "Zhu Wengong Temple" covering an area of ​​300 square meters in the village to commemorate his old man. It is also because of the frequent visits of nobles that the place has the reputation of "Gui'an", which means "the nobles are well-being".

Looking at major cities across the country today, as long as there are hot springs, there will be people developing hot spring villas and various commercial and entertainment clubs.

And Century Jinyuan , after achieving two major sales miracles of residences and shops, launched the super luxury project with increased confidence.

Its name is "Diyi Headquarters Economy". It is the first mixed commercial and residential single-family villa in Fujian Province built by Century Gold Resources. It is located on the " Moon Island", the core location of Gui'an. The villa area covers an area of ​​ acres, with a total of 155 houses. Each luxury house covers an area of ​​1,700 to 2,200 square meters. Just from the residential area, it can be seen how high-end the original positioning was.

In 2012, the luxury houses here were officially opened for sale, and the average opening price reached 13,000 yuan per square meter. After calculation, the lowest villa here costs 22 million yuan. In 2012, the average price in the capital Beijing was only 25,000 yuan, and 22 million could buy nearly 10 houses in Beijing. This is obviously an unreasonable price. No one is seen staying in the mansion now, and it is completely dark at night. If you visit the place in person, it will give people a creepy feeling.

Next door is another lakeside mansion, Honghui Butterfly Spring Bay. Compared with the magnificent European-style villas just now, the romantic Venice water city villas here are more distinctive. The entire villa area is surrounded by the introduced Aojiang river, and each household is equipped with an infinity swimming pool in the yard, giving people a very luxurious feeling.

The floor area of ​​these villas reaches 1,200 square meters, and they are also positioned as high-end. It is only now that 8 years have passed, and there is still no trace of life in the villa area. They just let the Aojiang River flow slowly, but they always stand lonely among the beautiful lakes and mountains.

In addition to the two luxury villa groups above, there is also a special villa group on the opposite bank of them. It is Guigu, China. Guigu originally planned to hand over the houses in 2015, but when the construction site arrived in 2015 There has been a large-scale shutdown, and more than 1,800 property owners are facing the embarrassing situation of being unable to take over their houses. Many owners need to rent their houses while repaying heavy mortgage loans from banks. They have waited for 8 years to finally hand over their houses, but now the villa areas are still empty and lifeless.

In fact, the problem of unoccupied luxury villas is not limited to Gui'an, but is faced with the same problem in many areas across the country. These villas are generally located in the outer suburbs of the city, with inconvenient transportation and incomplete living facilities. Even if rich people buy them, they will not live there permanently. Perhaps in their eyes, this is just a game of wealth, but no one expected that the successor has not arrived.

This is a town aimed at those who just need to buy a house. It allows everyone working hard in the city to own their own cabin through hard work. However, most of the resources are taken up by these uninhabited mirages.

As night falls, colorful neon lights begin to flash in the night sky of the town. At the beginning of the lights, the dim yellow street lights guide the 42,000 residents of Gui'an in the direction home. The lights of thousands of houses are the most beautiful appearance of this town.
