Visiting Shuibei Village behind the rumor: the average price of second-hand houses is 70,000 per square meter.


Shenzhen’s urban renewal has always been short of stories of getting rich overnight, and the "old renovation of Shuibei Village" is undoubtedly an excellent window to observe the urbanization process in Shenzhen. Although the rumor of "200 million compensation for demolition" has come to an end with the detention of three rumors, there will be more thinking and discussion about the sample "Shuibei Village" in the process of urbanization.
The 530-table big potted vegetable banquet made Shenzhen Shuibei Village popular overnight. The compensation of 200 million yuan for demolition was finally proved to be false news, but it is undeniable that the old reform of Shuibei Village brought great wealth to the villagers, and the myth of getting rich from demolition did not disappear because of rumors. Around Shuibei Village, a village in the city where 100,000 people once lived, there are too many stories. Wealth and dreams, sadness and parting are all staged with excavators driving into Shuibei Village. Under the background of soaring land prices and housing prices in Shenzhen, the story staged in Shuibei Village is an excellent window to observe people and a city, people and this era. The transformation of Shuibei village is also an excellent sample to understand the urbanization process.

Shuibei village: a city surrounded by gold and jewels
On October 27th, a reporter from Beijing Youth Daily came to the scene of the old renovation of Shuibei Village in Luohu, Shenzhen, where a "530-table big pot dish banquet" was put out. There was no trace of the big pot dish banquet on the construction site. Instead, several excavators are under construction, making a roar. Dozens of workers are working nervously on the construction site. The big archway in Shuibei Village still stands on the west side of the construction site, and there are couplets written on both sides of the archway, which read "The people of Luo Qing, the water companion emperor, think of Chang Yan, and the scenic spot of Beilian and the source of Tian Yue are the brightest". Before it was demolished, Shuibei Village was a typical urban village in Shenzhen. According to the village history of Shuibei Village, Shuibei Village has a history of more than 600 years since it was founded in 1410, the eighth year of Yongle in the Ming Dynasty. The earliest ancestor was Zhang Yuanjian in Shenzhen.
In front of the memorial archway in Shuibei Village, a golden yellow water shell is erected, with a "big pearl" in its mouth. In the park at the entrance of the village, a cement sculpture water shell is also nested in the eye-catching position on the ground. This symbol, together with the name of the village, implies a certain relationship between this place and jewelry. In fact, Shuibei Village has long been a famous gold and jewelry industry cluster in Shenzhen and even the whole country, and Shuibei Village is also known as "the first jewelry village in China".
The reporter of Beiqing Daily strolled along Shuibei Second Road, which is only a few hundred meters away from the old reconstruction site of Shuibei Village. There are many jewelry shops on both sides of the street, and all the buildings are named as "Jewelry City". A jewelry city that is being rebuilt uses "every inch of land and every inch of gold" to describe this lot, and even the residential buildings in the nearby Belle Community have branded jewelry business. In this narrow "delta" interwoven by Shuibei No.1 Road, Shuibei No.2 Road and Beili North Road, almost all well-known gold enterprises in China have set up offices or branches here, and almost all large jewelers in China have set up exhibition points here. At present, the annual production and sales value of Shuibei gold and jewelry industry cluster exceeds 100 billion yuan, and more than 2,000 corporate jewelry enterprises have gathered, accounting for 70% of the national market share.
According to the residents nearby, before the demolition, it was the largest village in Shenzhen and the most powerful one among many villages in Fiona Fang. Thanks to the advantages of the frontier position of reform and opening up, as early as November 1984, Shuiba Village registered "Shenzhen Shuibei Industrial Co., Ltd." in the collective name, and nearly 600 villagers in Shuiba Village became shareholders of the company. At present, it has a number of companies, which are involved in catering, electrical maintenance, parking, property management and so on.
statement
Villagers: "There are 200 million, but there are 120 million."
After the rumor spread that the compensation for demolition was 200 million yuan, Zhang Xingxiang, the chairman of Shuibei Industrial Co., Ltd., frequently explained to major media these days that all the villagers in Shuibei Village chose to move back as long as the property was free of money, and there was no cash compensation. He even introduced in detail that there were 178 original village collectives and villagers’ properties in Shuibei Village, and the demolition compensation ratio was 1: 1, of which one floor paid for shops and the second floor paid for houses. The number of people participating in the compensation plus about 1,000 overseas Chinese, on average, the area allocated to each household is about 200-300 square meters. There are more than 180 families in the village, the largest of which has received more than 2,000 square meters of compensation, but the family has several brothers and sons and grandchildren.
People from the nearby chain real estate introduced that the prices of second-hand houses here are almost between 70,000 and 80,000 yuan per square meter, and the expensive ones have exceeded 100,000 yuan. When it comes to the standard of compensation for demolition, many villagers in Shuibei Village keep their mouths shut. A villager surnamed Zhang revealed to the reporter of Beiqing Daily that according to the conversion of nearby house prices, 200 million is definitely not available, but one household has 120 million for sure.
Many villagers in Shuibei Village introduced that the compensation for demolition mentioned by Zhang Xingxiang was basically true. Almost all the villagers chose to move back. First of all, this is their homeland, and no one wants to move away. Secondly, here is now an inch of land and gold, and if you leave, you may never come back.

Shuibei village in the process of "explosive" urbanization
Although it is a gathering center of jewelry industry, Shuibei Village has not become "glamorous" because of jewelry for many years. The streets are narrow and old, the crowds are messy, there are few high-rise buildings in the village, and public security incidents occur frequently. In the rapid development of the surrounding areas, Shuibei Village appears to be "backward" and "obsolete".
A person from a planning department in Luohu District of Shenzhen told Beiqing Daily that in recent years, the urbanization process in Shenzhen has been "explosive". The value of the original humble Shuibei Village suddenly stood out. Strolling around the construction site of Shuibei Village, you can see that high-rise buildings have risen from the ground, and Teli Jewelry Building has entered the stage of investment promotion; Shuibei Jewelry International Plaza has been capped and the height of the main tower has exceeded 200 meters. Shuibei Golden Tower, Shuibei Ginza, Jinzhan Jewelry Plaza and Xinglong Gold Jewelry Building will also be put into use soon.
In 2015, Shenzhen’s land price and house price soared, and high-priced land appeared frequently in the land auction market. The price increase in Shenzhen ranks first in the country. Ms. Chen bought a house nearby for 1 million yuan in 2008, and now the market price has reached more than 5 million yuan. Due to the development of gold and jewelry industry, a large number of industries and housing needs support the housing prices in Shuibei District. The housing prices of second-hand houses here have exceeded 70,000, which is close to some core areas of Shenzhen such as Futian and Nanshan.
According to the Urban Renewal Unit Plan of Shuibei Village in Cuizhu Street, Luohu District (Draft) issued by Luohu Reconstruction Bureau, the urban renewal unit project of Shuibei Village was included in the second batch of Shenzhen urban renewal plan as early as 2013, with a land area of 53,710 square meters. The project includes two plots, of which the northern plot is located in the north of Shuibei No.1 Road and the southern plot is located in the south of Shuibei No.1 Road.
Last year, the Decision on the Pilot Reform of Urban Renewal in Luohu District and the Plan on the Pilot Reform of Urban Renewal in Luohu District were studied and approved by the executive meeting of Shenzhen Municipal Government. Luohu, the earliest built-up area in Shenzhen, became the first pilot area for urban renewal and reform in the city. With the decentralization of power in the city, and the Shenzhen municipal government’s eastward strategy, the urban renewal of Shuibei broke out almost instantly.
story
The moving process of villagers and tenants
The 530-table big potted vegetable banquet gives the outside world an impression that the villagers in Shuibei Village are happy to welcome the demolition, but in fact, quite a few villagers are unwilling to be demolished, and they also have objections to the compensation for the demolition.
A villager surnamed Zhang said that his family’s jewelry business in Shuibei Village has been very good, and the demolition will bring great losses to their family. None of their family wants to be demolished.
A villager recalled that the ratio of 1: 1 was not high. According to the contract, the store will not be divided into individual property rights in the future, but will be held by the village joint-stock company as a whole, and the rent will be allocated only according to the proportion of the current store area. This means that villagers can’t enjoy the appreciation of shops. This is the main reason why some villagers were unwilling to sign contracts.
According to the residents nearby, the large-scale demolition of Shuibei Village began in the first half of 2014. However, due to the compensation conditions for demolition, some villagers are unwilling to sign the contract. Subsequently, the large-scale demolition and closure of the passage cut the village into two impassable parts, cutting off the most prosperous commercial district in the village. The roads with an average daily flow of over 10,000 people could not pass, and a large number of merchants eventually withdrew.
It is understood that people from different walks of life lived in Shuibei Village before the transformation, including private enterprise owners, urban white-collar workers, small commodity operators, porters, cleaners and shoemakers. They have even lived here longer than the aborigines in many villages.
A tenant who has lived in Shuibei Village for 10 years told the reporter of Beiqing Daily that there were about tens of thousands of people living in Shuibei Village before the demolition, of which 90% were migrant workers, and some were company employees and newly graduated college students. Few villagers in Shuibei Village lived here, and most of them had houses elsewhere.
The reporter of Beiqing Daily married a shoemaker who had lived in Shuibei Village for 20 years. He was not invited to the big pot dish banquet held at the construction site of Shuibei Village a few days ago. Although the 65-year-old shoemaker said frankly that he was not qualified to participate, he still had some disappointment in his eyes. After the feast of big pots of vegetables, a kind villager in Shuibei village sent him a packet of leftover food, and the shoemaker was grateful. Nowadays, the shoemaker is reluctant to leave the place where he has lived for 20 years, and still stands beside the construction site to repair his shoes, but without the "Shuibei Village", he can hardly earn even basic living expenses.
The shoemaker told the reporter of Beiqing Daily that with the disappearance of hydropower, excavators drove into the village, and many residents who had lived in Shuibei Village for more than 10 years moved out overnight. The once prosperous Shuibei Village "market" suddenly became deserted. The reporter of Beiqing Daily was eating in a restaurant next to the construction site. The proprietress of Chaoshan complained that after Shuibei Village was demolished, her business for more than ten years plummeted, and now it is barely supported. "If you can’t stay, go back to your hometown."
future
Shuibei Village will build an international jewelry ecological creative city.
In 2012, Shenzhen Shuibei Industrial Co., Ltd. and Jingji Company signed a cooperation agreement on the renovation project of Shuibei Village. Zhang Xingxiang, the chairman of Shuibei Industry, once said, "Our whole village held a shareholders’ meeting to choose one of the five developers, namely Jingji, Kaisa, China Resources, New World and Zhuoyue, and finally we decided to choose Jingji."
Jingji Company once created a well-known "Caiwuwei Model" in Shenzhen, in which villagers, village collectives, local governments and enterprises participated and shared dividends. The houses of the villagers in Caiwuwei were replaced by commercial houses in Jingji according to the compensation ratio of 1: 1. In addition, through relocation and resettlement, the former rural collective joint-stock company also obtained 62,500 square meters of high-grade new property. The "Caiwuwei Model" has become a model of urban renewal in Shenzhen. Since Caiwuwei, it has triggered a "nuclear explosion effect", and many old districts in Shenzhen have begun to copy the "Caiwuwei Model".
For a time, the mode that rural collective land is transformed into rural collective joint-stock companies and shares participate in the urbanization business process and share the dividends has become a widely used sample in similar urbanization transformation in Shenzhen and even the whole country. According to the plan, Shuibei Village will become a "lakeside boutique community and a flagship city of jewelry creativity" in the future, and Shuibei — — Buxin area will be turned into an international jewelry ecological creative city as a whole.

Financial observation
The topic of Shuibei Village is far from over.
Shenzhen’s urban renewal has always been short of stories of getting rich overnight. For example, the renovation project of Gangxia Village in Shenzhen, which was widely reported by the media. In the process of its demolition, the transformation of Gangxia Village created an incredible "myth" — — Overnight in the house demolition, the owners of more than 500 buildings collectively entered the ranks of tens of millions or even billionaires. At that time, some media reported on the demolition and reconstruction of the village with "Five Hundred Gangxia Old Buildings Fall and Ten Billionaires Stand Up". In the old reform of Caiwuwei, some nail households received high compensation. The old transformation has created a large number of rich people, and some people say that it has influenced the compensation standard for the old transformation in Shenzhen, which has led to an increase in the threshold for urban renewal. To some extent, it also indirectly pushed up the housing prices in Shenzhen.
Relevant persons of Futian District Old City Reconstruction Office have publicly stated that Shenzhen government is a "loose and weak government", and this feature is also reflected in the old reform, which will inevitably pay a price.
On the road of urban renewal in Shenzhen, the myth of getting rich by demolition will continue to be staged. Mobilization, relocation, demolition and reconstruction, the dispute between nail households and developers, stand on the opposite side of vested interests, many people think that this is the embodiment of getting something for nothing.
Restlessness in change, worry about high housing prices, and the game of interests of all parties … … Undoubtedly, the "old transformation of Shuibei village" is an excellent window to observe the urbanization process in Shenzhen. How can the government, developers and villagers find the point of convergence of interests in the transformation of old villages closely related to the urbanization process?
The rumor of "200 million compensation" brought the story of Shuibei Village into the whirlpool of public opinion. The villagers in Shuibei Village chose to call the police. On October 27th, shenzhen public Bao ‘an Branch administratively detained three authors and reviewers of the "200 million compensation" statement from WeChat official account. The story of Shuibei village has come to an end, but there will be more thinking and discussion around Shuibei village, which is a sample of urbanization process.

Event backtracking
Each household in Shuibei Village will pay 200 million yuan for demolition.
The whole story of rumor bursting
A little-known village in the city became popular in a few days because of rumors. This rumor, which has been screened, is that Shuibei Village in Shenzhen is undergoing the transformation of the old city, and each relocated household has received compensation as high as 200 million yuan, which has caused public outcry. The myth of villagers getting rich overnight has made netizens envy and hate. Two days later, three rumors were arrested by Shenzhen police. What kind of process is this? Beijing Youth Daily combed it.
The beginning: the banquet of thousands of people in Shuibei Village attracted attention.
On October 23rd, 2016, it was the second Sunday after the Double Ninth Festival. According to the traditional practice of previous years, Shuibei Village, Luohu District, Shenzhen held a bowl banquet for thousands of people, with a total of 530 tables, and friends and relatives shared their friendship. Some media reporters directly hit the grand occasion: amid the music resounding through the sky, there was a banquet of potted vegetables, the ground was covered with red carpets, and the villagers raised their glasses and collided … … It is understood that the dish banquet is a traditional custom in Shenzhen Bay, and it has a history of 800 years, and it has been shown in China on the Tip of the Tongue. However, this time the Shuibei Village Pot-dish Banquet was different from the past, and it was held in an open space on the ruins of Shuibei old city reconstruction. Last year, Shuibei Village completed the overall demolition.
According to public information, Shuibei Village belongs to the village under the jurisdiction of Luohu District, Shenzhen, and is now Shuibei Community, located opposite Honghu Park in Shenzhen. It covers an area of 0.106 square kilometers and has 3252 households.
Rumor: The net post said that the demolition will create nearly 60 billion households.
However, the traditional folk custom in Shenzhen Bay has been interpreted as "villagers having dinner to celebrate getting rich overnight". On October 24th, the day after the Pot-dish Banquet, someone posted on the Internet that the reason why Shuibei Village celebrated the village was that each family received nearly 200 million yuan in cash for this demolition. And there is news that the highest one will be compensated by 8 billion! It is also said that the demolition of Shuibei Village has created nearly 60 households with 100 million yuan.
At the same time, a document with a "compensation" of 198 million yuan and a special financial seal of Shenzhen Cuizhu Shuibei Co., Ltd. was circulated on the Internet. Although the specific information such as the payee was not clearly written, it was close to the key words such as "compensation" of 200 million yuan and Shuibei. It is difficult for the public not to associate this document with the Shuibei Village incident.
Immediately after that, someone on the Internet basked in the identity cards of villagers in Shuibei Village with the words: each household can get 200 million yuan in compensation for demolition, and there are still 83 girls in the village who have no boyfriends and 38 boys who have no girlfriends. So a good thing netizens immediately claimed to organize a group to go to Shuibei Village for blind date.
Some netizens immediately thought of two other things that happened in the second half of this year, namely, demolition and getting rich. This series of information is superimposed together, which makes the rumor that "each household in Shuibei Village will be compensated 200 million yuan" more true and credible, and stimulates the nerves of the public. Some people feel that it is not good to see a complete individual. Wealth has nothing to do with struggle, but with ancestors. It is better to be a local tyrant than a villager. There are also views that this is the embodiment of social injustice.
Soon, rumors of villagers’ demolition becoming rich overnight and worth 200 million yuan shot to fame on the Internet. This myth of demolition becoming a billionaire was forwarded by several big V’s in Sina Weibo, and the WeChat circle of friends was blown up.
Rumor: there is no cash compensation for the demolition of Shuibei Village.
On October 25th, Weibo, the official of the Propaganda Department of Shenzhen Luohu District Committee, released a rumor that it was a rumor that each household should be compensated with a minimum of 200 million cash. The villagers in Shuibei Village reported to the police that day and the police in Luohu accepted it.
Zhang Xingxiang, chairman of Shuibei Industrial Co., Ltd., told the media that there were 178 original village collectives and villagers’ properties in Shuibei Village, and the ratio of demolition and compensation was 1: 1. Among them, the first floor paid for shops and the second floor paid for houses. The villagers in Shuibei Village all chose to move back, and there was no cash compensation. Some media immediately estimated the price of nearby real estate. If calculated by the largest family, the market value of residential property is about 100 million yuan.
In addition, the online check of 198 million yuan is fake and the official seal is forged. Zhang Xingxiang said that the official name of Shuibei Village Co., Ltd. is "Shenzhen Shuibei Industrial Co., Ltd.", not a "joint-stock cooperative company", and there is no word "Cuizhu" in the official seal.
In response to the online rumor that there are 83 single women in Shuibei Village, Zhang Xingxiang denied that most villagers in Shuibei Village are married and the number of singles is very small. Although there is no special statistics on single people, there are only more than 500 people in Shuibei Village, and it is impossible for more than 100 people to be single marriageable young people.
Outcome: Three rumors were administratively detained.
On October 26, the police informed that three rumors had been arrested. According to the report of shenzhen public Baoan Branch, on the morning of October 24th, Baoan police received an alarm, and some netizens published an article entitled "Shenzhen Shuibei Village Demolition Compensation at least 200 million yuan for each family", which was suspected of spreading rumors, and caused a lot of attention and forwarding from WeChat WeChat official account, friends circle and Sina Weibo, and Baoan police immediately investigated. After verification, the content of the article is inaccurate and belongs to false information. Baoan police summoned the suspects Ming Molu (female, 27 years old, from Hunan), Zhu Mou (male, 30 years old, from Guangdong) and Gao Mouhua (male, 23 years old, from Hunan) who fabricated and forwarded the information according to law. After trial, the three confessed the illegal fact that in order to improve the click-through rate of their WeChat WeChat official account, it was written by Ming Moulu, reviewed by Zhu Mou and revised and published by Gao Mouhua. At present, Baoan police have imposed administrative detention on three people for five days according to law.
Regarding the huge impact caused by this incident, the person in charge of Shenzhen Tide Life told the media on October 27 that he hoped to apologize to the residents of Shuibei and the affected people through the lens. In this incident, the company did bear certain responsibilities.
