Chapter 536 Land Title Confirmation
After she sat down, the staff member also sat down opposite her, opened a recording interface on the tablet, and hovered his fingertip above the screen:
"Then please briefly describe your experience while serving with the Linchuan troops."
It mainly includes the time, location, general area you passed through, and the location and circumstances under which you left the military.
Xu Xiaoyan organized her thoughts and began to narrate.
What she said was basically the same as what she said in the bunker. When she mentioned Lin Tong City, she could clearly feel the staff member's finger pause for a moment.
Although he didn't show much reaction on the surface, it revealed his sensitivity and concern about that place.
But he didn't ask any further questions; he simply entered every word Xu Xiaoyan said into the system.
Then, at certain key points, details such as time, distance, and number of people traveling together were checked several times.
The entire interrogation lasted about ten minutes, shorter than Xu Xiaoyan had expected.
"Okay, thank you for your cooperation." The staff member put away the tablet, stood up, walked to a locker in the corner of the room, opened the locker door and took out a bag.
It was a white plastic bag, about 30 centimeters long and 20 centimeters wide, with a neat sealing strip pressed at the opening.
It was printed with the words "Sealed Rice, 5 Jin Pack" and stamped with a blue inspection certificate.
He handed the rice to Xu Xiaoyan: "This is compensation for you. There is a number on the bag, so you can eat it without worry."
Go straight out the door, there's a place called the Real Estate Transfer and Transaction Center, where you can go to process the land ownership confirmation procedures.
Xu Xiaoyan thanked him, took the rice and put it into her backpack, making the already bulging backpack even heavier.
Following the directions given by the staff, Xu Xiaoyan entered the urban area of Satellite City No. 5, and the scene before her was much better than she had expected.
The buildings on both sides of the road are all frame structures, mostly five or six stories high, with uniform light gray paint on the exterior walls.
The streets are divided into a neat grid pattern, with straight lines, which looks like a giant chessboard when viewed from above.
Every few blocks, you can see piles of building materials on open ground in the distance, with scaffolding still in place.
Workers wearing hard hats went in and out, and the clanging and banging sounds were constant, indicating that the expansion was still underway.
There weren't many pedestrians on the road, and occasionally a few electric tricycles carrying building materials would pass by, their cargo beds piled high with cement and gravel.
As Xu Xiaoyan walked, she observed the layout of the surroundings and silently memorized the locations of key facilities such as pharmacies, supermarkets, and water stations.
Although most stores have not officially opened yet, signs have already been put up and notices saying "Opening Soon" have been posted on the glass doors.
After walking for about twenty minutes, she saw the sign for "Property Transfer Transaction Center".
It was a detached three-story building with a flagpole at the entrance and a brand-new flag flying on top.
The doors were wide open, and the interior was bright and airy, reflecting off the marble floor.
There were far fewer people in the lobby than she had imagined; only three or four people were scattered around different windows handling their business.
She walked up to the ticket machine and pressed the button. The machine dispensed a small ticket that read "A006".
She glanced at her number, A003, which was being processed. There were only two people ahead of her, so she should be able to get a turn soon.
She sat down on a plastic chair in the lobby, put her backpack at her feet, and straightened her sweat-soaked collar.
Less than ten minutes later, the electronic screen displayed the message "A006 Please go to window number 3".
A young woman, in her early twenties, sat behind the counter. She had her hair in a ponytail, wore a neatly ironed white shirt, and had her name tag pinned to her chest.
She looked up and smiled at Xu Xiaoyan, her tone light and cheerful: "Hello, what kind of service do you need?"
"I'm here to process the land ownership confirmation." Xu Xiaoyan put her backpack down beside her feet and moved a little closer. "I selected plot E15 on my phone before, and I'm here to confirm it now."
"Okay, just a moment." The staff member took out a small black box from under the counter.
Open the lid to reveal a circular sensing area with a ring of fine metal contacts in the center.
She held the box out to Xu Xiaoyan: "Please extend the arm with the implanted chip so I can scan and confirm your identity."
Xu Xiaoyan positioned her arm against the circular sensor area, and a soft "beep" sounded from the box, turning the indicator light from red to green.
"Okay, information read." The staff member put away the black box, turned to face the computer screen on the table, and began to type rapidly on the keyboard.
She operated the machine while staring at the screen, pausing from time to time to check the data, muttering to herself as if confirming some information.
Xu Xiaoyan stood in front of the counter waiting. After about a minute, the staff member stopped what they were doing and looked up.
His gaze shifted from the screen to Xu Xiaoyan's face, and his tone became more formal: "Ms. Xu, confirmation complete. You have selected plot E15 on your mobile device."
The plot of land, which has an area of 400 square meters, is located in the northeast area of the satellite city. It is an urban plot and is currently vacant and awaiting construction. No building information has been registered yet.
Xu Xiaoyan nodded, feeling a little more at ease.
"The current policy here is as follows," the staff member began to explain in detail. "After residents of Qing City select a plot of land, they have two ways to build a house."
The first option is to hire an official construction team. They use integrated molding technology, where the computer generates the design and the machine pours the concrete into shape. This method is fast and the quality is guaranteed.
The second option is to hire unemployed workers in the city to build houses manually. You will need to handle both materials and labor yourself. The time frame may be longer, but the cost may be more flexible.
She paused, then added, "These are special times. If you choose the official construction team, we can give you a 10% discount on the original price."
This preferential policy is currently only available to the first batch of residents who have completed the property rights confirmation process; it may not be available to them later.
Xu Xiaoyan was somewhat curious about the "one-piece body sculpting" technique, but right now she was more concerned about a practical question: "How much does it cost to build a house?"
The staff member pulled up a calculation spreadsheet and pointed to the numbers on the screen to show her:
"The official construction team's standard fee is ten yuan per square meter. This price applies to single-story buildings and is calculated based on the building area. After a 10% discount, it is nine yuan per square meter."
If you want to build a two-story building, the price will double to eighteen dollars per square meter, and a three-story building will cost twenty-seven dollars per square meter, and so on.
She thought for a moment, then asked again, "What about the fence? The land needs to be fenced off, right?"
"The fence also has a standard price." The staff pulled up another page of data: "It is poured according to the standard of 2.5 meters high and 10 centimeters thick."
The fee is seven yuan per meter, and after the discount, it is six yuan and thirty cents per meter. You can decide the length and height of the fence yourself, and the fee will be calculated based on the actual length of the concrete poured.
