The rapid development of Internet in China has created a large number of Internet tycoons like Ge Ke, former chairman of Jinshan. In this context, Wanliu Academy has become a good choice for these upstarts to seek improvement-whether it is housing or class. People can't help but wonder, what kind of world is it in a dinghao community like Wanliu Academy?

In Beijing, the killing of the top school districts by the rich is continuing.
On May 14th, at the online auction, the starting price of a school district located in Wanliu Academy, Haidian District, Beijing reached 55.3 million yuan, which was unattainable in Haidian District, Beijing, where the average price of second-hand houses was over 9, yuan.
it is located in the southeast corner of the community, on the top floor, with three bedrooms and two halls with terraces, covering an area of about 3 square meters. As a luxury house, the distance between Wanliu Academy and its surroundings is calculated in meters. It goes 12 meters north to Bagou Station of Metro Line 1, 65 meters east to Hualian Shopping Center, which looks like a luxury cruise ship and covers an area of 5, square meters, and 5 meters north to a golf club.
Although the starting price was not low, this auction still attracted eight bidders. They each paid an auction deposit of 11 million. After 26 rounds of price increases, its price was raised to 83.92 million yuan, equivalent to 28, yuan per square meter. This price has exceeded the average price of 27, yuan per square meter of Shanghai's top luxury-"Tomson Yipin".
but this is just the beginning. Next, six people quit, leaving only bidders "U2575" and "U424". The auction turned into a game of raising prices for two people. Behind the code name "U424" is Ge Ke, former chairman of Kingsoft. This first-generation Internet person who worked hard in Jinshan for 22 years and resigned this year just celebrated his 49th birthday last month. Obviously, in Jinshan, Ge Ke also earned his own "Jinshan". Last year, he ranked 3th in Hurun China Professional Managers List in 221 with a wealth of 6 billion yuan.
in the next 4 minutes, they went through 94 rounds of chasing after each other, which translates to an average price of 27, mouse clicks per index finger. At the last stalemate, the buyer "U424" only considered it for 1 seconds, and in one breath, it added the price to the final transaction price-19 million, and the unit price reached 364,7 per square meter. If all goes well, Geke only needs to pay an additional 3% deed tax-about 3 million yuan, and a monthly property fee of 12.5 yuan per square meter, so he can really own it.
In fact, the price of more than 1 million yuan is far beyond the expectation of Liu Xiaotao, a real estate agent. He is responsible for the sales of luxury houses in Wanliu area, and this year is his tenth year of selling luxury houses. The whole Wanliu Academy Community has 14 buildings and 319 households, with an average of 25 square meters, and the plot ratio exceeds 2. On May 14th, he even recorded a short video, saying that this method of shooting a house "can be missed and cost-effective".
according to his cognition, since March this year, the luxury residential market in Beijing has shown a strong demand, and has experienced a round of transaction explosion, with the transaction volume increasing by 54% month-on-month. He is not surprised by the price increase of Wanliu Academy. After all, since the opening in 214, the house price of Wanliu Academy has climbed from 14, yuan/square meter to this day.
but he didn't expect that this auction would directly win the highest transaction record.
People can't help wondering why Ge Ke is so obsessed with it. And what kind of community is Wanliu Academy where this suite is located?
It seems that from the moment it was built, Wanliu Academy was full of legends.
The most widely spread is the circle of 5-meter-high gray walls. There is a folk jingle about Beijing Dinghao: the wall of Wanliu, the cylinder of Xichen, the top of Xiaoba, the lake of Sunac, the tree of Zichen Garden and the courtyard of Beiping House. The wall of Wanliu ranks first. It encircles Wanliu Academy, which is about five football fields in size. There are always outsiders standing under the wall to discuss it. Some people have commented that this wall looks unremarkable, and the wall is black, even like the "Soviet aid building"; Some people retorted, "This is simply ignorant of goods". This external wall is made of handmade Dutch bricks, "one by one from Holland", because there are minerals in the bricks, and the colors of the bricks are different with different sunshine angles every day. According to well-documented data, when Zhonghe Real Estate built this wall, it deliberately tilted the wall from the bottom up to the courtyard by 5, "an imperceptible arc, humbly taking care of the feelings of passers-by".
As the houses in Wanliu Academy become more and more expensive, the grey walls become more and more mysterious. Some bloggers came here, standing under the wall, stroking the angular bricks, claiming that the quantity of this wall alone "scared away more than a dozen bidding teams".
On May 23rd, I also came to Wanliu Academy and stood under the high wall. It is more than two people high. Because of its existence, I can't look down at Wanliu Academy. I have to look up at the big trees sticking out of the wall and the spire of Wanliu Academy. The wall is monotonous, with countless horizontal gray bricks, no patterns, and no patterns. The unchanging bricks extend straight for hundreds of meters, leaving no exposed space for Wanliu Academy.
This is an inviolable feeling. The whole Wanliu Academy is shrouded in static state, and there are no residential buildings, unit doors and residents living here. In my impression, this kind of wall does not appear many times, either it is an ancient bamboo wall or a section where the subway is being repaired, and a high iron wall is built, only the construction roar inside is heard.
I imitated the blogger, put my hand on the wall brick and felt the afterheat of the sun setting.
but this is only the part I can see, and inside the wall, it is another world.
according to the public information, in this wall, the developer once transplanted all the adult trees with full crowns for decades for landscaping, and even replaced the original fatong outside the wall with adult ginkgo biloba. In order to be beautiful, the cost of a single ginkgo tree is more than 6 thousand yuan to keep the age, crown and even branches and leaves consistent.
In the book "Interior Design and Decoration", it is also introduced that the energy consumption, water quality, sound and indoor air quality here need to be comparable to the convalescent data level in Switzerland. For example, American platinum air purification system, fresh air system, central dust collection system and 12-fold mute system, and interior decoration materials are also imported, such as Birgatz stone, freshly brushed oak veneer and Saint Laurent stone.
Even the underground garage in the community is equipped with six lighting patios and fresh air system. A parking space of several million yuan is already the price of a suite in many second-tier cities.
These details are hidden by the gray wall, whether it is greening, decoration or people living in it. In Wanliu Academy, the only high-profile and well-defined thing seems to be the wall, which tightly wraps Wanliu Academy, cuts off the city roads in all directions, blocks the curious eyes of the outside world and becomes a barrier between classes.
"This kind of school district, this kind of configuration and this kind of traffic can be counted with your fingers in Beijing." Liu Xiaotong, a luxury agent, said.
Different from ordinary luxury houses, Wanliu Academy was scarce from the beginning. Beijing business today once described it as "fighting alone". As the only top-ranked company listed at the end of the Year of the Horse in 214, its rivals are Sunac Guanlan Jiayuan, Kaisa Plaza and Evergrande Palace, which will be listed in 215 ... Now, its rivals in those years have long been left behind by it.
To a great extent, Wanliu area, where Wanliu Academy is located, itself presents a kind of scarcity. In Wanliu, which is 48 square kilometers, you can ride a bicycle for 1 minutes to the north, and you can reach the Xiuyi Bridge in the Summer Palace. It takes 5 minutes to cross a Wanquanhe Road to the east, which is China Renmin University. The graduate apartment of Peking University is located in Wanliu area. The best way to boost housing prices is Zhongguancun No.3 Primary School, one of the best primary schools in China, right in the middle of the district.
The location, famous schools and supporting facilities, and the arrival of Wanliu Academy have added the mystery of luxury houses here. Liu Xiaotong still remembers that Wanliu Academy was not born at that time, and Wanliu intermediaries, including him, were boiling. "I heard that Wanliu was going to be a land king."
On July 1th, 212, Zhonghe Real Estate won the Wanliu plot at a sky-high price of 2.63 billion yuan. During the same period, there were more than ten competing real estate enterprises, including Poly, Sunac and Vanke. The land king immediately gave birth to the sky-high floor. At that time, Chen Yunfeng, the secretary general of China Real Estate Agents Union, bluntly said that the floor price of Wanliu plot had exceeded 4,, which was likely to become the second Diaoyutai No.7 yard. In 212, the per capita disposable income of urban residents in China was less than 25, yuan.
When the wall of Wanliu Academy began to be built, Zhongguancun next door was just completing a painful self-iteration. At this time, Haidian Book City was no longer hit by e-commerce, and simply transformed into Zhongguancun Venture Street. In just one year, this street less than 2 meters long hatched more than 6 entrepreneurial teams, and countless cups of entrepreneurial coffee were cold and hot. Young people with an average age of 21 walked the streets all day looking for new entrepreneurial opportunities.
Perhaps influenced by Zhongguancun, Wanliu Academy has set the tone since its establishment, with "no style, only life" and "no show-off". Liu Xiaotong also affirmed this statement, "the owners who bought Wanliu Academy are very low-key".
"Most of the buyers who come here are IT professionals, who are concentrated in their 3-5 s." Liu Xiaotong said. After 217, a large number of Internet companies ushered in a wave of listing in succession. "As soon as stocks were sold, they suddenly had tens of millions or even hundreds of millions of assets in their hands. Except for buying a house, there was no place to spend money." In contrast, there are not many bosses in the real economy among customers.
In this context, Wanliu Academy has become a good choice for these new Internet tycoons to seek improvement-whether it is housing or class. "After accumulating a certain economic strength, many customers feel that the community they live in now can't match their identity, and the grade is a bit low. In addition, the people they contact are different, so there is a need for improvement."
when he receives guests, he never looks at each other's clothes and jewelry. Real customers often wear very ordinary clothes, drive 2,-3, cars, or simply take a taxi. "Most of the people who live here are not obvious, and you can't say which day you will meet the president or executive of a big company."
Car park toll collector Chen Musheng and his sofa chair have been living under the high wall of Wanliu Academy for six years.
To the east of Wanliu Academy is Hualian Shopping Center. From 7 am to 9 pm, he sits here and collects parking fees, 8 yuan an hour. Seeing me asking about Wanliu Academy, Chen Musheng jumped up from his chair. "This is the third largest mansion in China!" As for who is the first and second mansion, he can't say why.
all his belongings are under the wall, an electric car and a stainless steel charging box. For the inside of the wall, he only knows that the people who live in it are "all rich", and his fellow villagers once went in to do construction, saying that the head inside is like a "garden".
people inside the wall must rely on people outside the wall to survive. For example, Xiao Biao, a takeaway who flies in Wanliu all the year round, often goes in and out of Wanliu Academy. Most of the takeout ordered by people in the wall is 8-1 yuan. In his view, the high-end places here are "color", "brown looks very different" and the title of building different from ordinary residential areas. "The wall says No.1 mansion, not No.1 building".
Decoration worker Zhao Gang also helped the owner of Wanliu Academy to decorate. He contracted the skylight decoration of a sunroom on the first floor of the owner's basement. The sunroom with an area of more than 6 square meters spent more than 2, yuan on the aluminum frame of the skylight, and the working hours were close to 3 months. "The skylight has four floors, and it is fully automatic together with the sunshade. Pure aluminum material is already the best material on the market, and it will not rust when it is painted. All the materials add up to nearly 4, yuan per square meter. " He said.
In addition, the householder installed a 9-square-meter pure aluminum pavilion in his first-floor garden, which is equivalent to more than 4, yuan. "It's expensive because it's on the edge of the electric roller blinds around the pavilion. If there are no roller blinds on all sides, the pavilion will cost more than 1 thousand yuan."
but obviously, money is not a problem.
Shenghua Temple Road on the west side of Wanliu Academy is a quiet street. It is a rich area in Wanliu, and few people and cars pass by at ordinary times. A blue warning sign stands at the intersection, "You have entered the monitoring area, 24-hour video surveillance". Along the way, several probes were neutral from the high wall, and some were simply embedded in the wall.
once a car enters and exits, a huge alarm bell will ring at the northwest gate. The security guard raised the switch, and I stepped forward to talk to him. He told me that he heard from the sales manager of the developer, "The house here is 24 square meters, 54 million." See I want to continue to speak, he is very stiff, eyes wandering, "you don't talk to me, there are monitoring, even the human hair can be seen". Looking up, in my upper right corner, a huge monitor is rotating.
compared with shenghuasi road, bagou road in the north of wanliu academy is much more lively as the main road. When it's getting late, residents living in the surrounding areas come out for a walk in droves and pass by Wanliu Academy. Everyone looks up, and they are talking about who will live here and how much money it needs, facing the fa? ade, the window, the lamp and the figure vaguely exposed from the window. A woman who lives in Wanliu said to me, "I don't know whether the people in the wall have isolated society or society has isolated them."
In most cases, people can't pry into any details about Wanliu Academy, except when the main entrance of Wanliu Academy, the south gate, is briefly opened. This bronze door made of pure copper is 4.8 meters high, with a combined length of 12 meters. Usually, only the rightmost one is opened for the owner to pass through.
