　　Roughly speaking, if the principal of 1 million is loaned for 30 years, if calculated according to the original 4.6%, it is probably more than 800,000, 870,000 yuan and 860,000 yuan.

If the interest for 30 years is calculated, if the interest is reduced by such 15 basis points, the interest expense of a 30-year loan can be reduced by more than 30,000 yuan. In fact, if you calculate it, it is about 100 yuan per month. 100 bucks.

　　On the basis of the LPR, the commercial bank can re-adjust itself, that is, to reduce its lower limit by 20 basis points, and the first suite will be reduced by 20 basis points.

Then if this adjustment is added, if the bank implements the lowest lower limit, the buyer of the first suite may be (reduced) by about 35 basis points, which is still a lot.

Then it will probably be calculated according to what I just said in 30 years, and it will probably save more than 70,000 yuan.
