Chapter 104: The Next Big Move?
Chapter 104: The Next Big Move?
Wang Ping's ability to rise from a regular agent to her current position as regional director is undoubtedly top-notch.
Just from the way the two greeted each other, she could tell that both Lin Baoyi, who looked aristocratic, and Wang Yuzhe, who was frowning at her, had unusual attitudes toward Chen Yuanzhou.
This is completely different from what Chen Yuanzhou himself previously said about "merely knowing each other".
"It seems Chen Yuanzhou isn't powerless, but rather unwilling to help?" Wang Ping thought to herself.
Having figured this out, she merely shook hands with Wang Yuzhe politely, without directly trying to establish a relationship. Instead, she remained an observer and refrained from making any rash moves.
Wang Yuzhe had initially wondered if Chen Yuanzhou had deliberately brought Wang Ping to find him, but now that he saw Wang Ping wasn't making any further moves, he breathed a sigh of relief, saving him the trouble of dealing with her.
Wang Ping then smiled and said, "Xiao Chen, you go ahead with your work. Actually, I'm also quite interested in the houses in Zijinyuan. I'll go take a look."
After saying that, she turned and left, randomly picked a real estate consultant, and started wandering around the model.
Lin Baoyi didn't think much of it, assuming that she really wanted to buy a house and was simply coming with Chen Yuanzhou.
But Chen Yuanzhou was secretly impressed by her restraint; to become a director was indeed no easy feat!
If she were to approach Wang Yuzhe like a typical salesperson and try to build a relationship, not only would Wang Yuzhe not give her a friendly look, but she would also lose face for Chen Yuanzhou.
Choosing to maintain distance at the right time is a matter of discretion, and it's a way of telling Chen Yuanzhou through actions that I won't disrupt his network of contacts.
However, Chen Yuanzhou knew that after this, she would probably pay a lot of attention to him.
Although this was Chen Yuanzhou's original intention to showcase his connections, Wang Ping's response was impeccable.
"Mr. Chen, didn't Mr. Wang say anything to you?" Wang Yuzhe asked.
Chen Yuanzhou smiled and said, "I mentioned a little, but it has nothing to do with me."
Wang Yuzhe nodded and didn't ask any more questions.
From his perspective, there was no real need to cooperate with an intermediary company, so he was a little worried that Chen Yuanzhou would act as a go-between.
After all, he had received a favor from Chen Yuanzhou, and it would be quite inconsiderate of him not to give him this much face. Since Chen Yuanzhou said it was none of his business, he felt relieved, so he said goodbye to Lin Baoyi and left.
Lin Baoyi then smiled and said, "Xiao Chen, it's all thanks to you! With the help of the agents from Zhuowu Company, these houses are selling very smoothly. I estimate they'll be sold out in a few more days. Even if they aren't sold out, holding onto some long-term is perfectly feasible."
"How much did President Lin earn this time?" Chen Yuanzhou asked sarcastically.
After all, as the leader of the real estate speculation group, Lin Baoyi must have invested the most funds. He also had similar betting agreements with some large investors, and he was required to cover any losses.
Conversely, if he makes money, he will also receive a corresponding commission.
So Lin Baoyi chuckled and didn't answer the question directly, only replying, "I definitely earn more than you."
Chen Yuanzhou didn't know the specifics of his agreement with those investors, but judging from his mood, he knew that "a little more" was probably an extremely exaggerated amount.
Then Lin Baoyi added, "By the way, didn't you ask me to organize the project data for the eastern part of the city last time? Lao Xue has already done it all."
"How's it going? Where should we invest in the next project?"
Lin Baoyi spoke with a burning gaze, exuding ambition: "The Zijingyuan project was a great success this time, so... funding won't be a problem!"
Upon hearing this, Chen Yuanzhou understood that he must have used this success to attract a large amount of funds.
With that in mind, he asked, "Mr. Lin, what is the approximate total amount of funds? I need to make an overall plan."
Lin Baoyi pondered for a moment, then slowly said, "10 to 15 billion."
"Clam?"
Now it was Chen Yuanzhou's turn to be surprised.
He really didn't expect that Lin Baoyi would expand the scale of funds to this extent in just a few days.
But upon further reflection, this time Zijinyuan's plan is a quick in-and-out approach, so the original two hundred million yuan should now have increased to five hundred million yuan.
With such a rate of return, it's normal for investors to flock to it.
Moreover, some big players who were originally observing have probably made their moves.
Chen Yuanzhou glanced at the date; the next phase of the plan was almost here. He nodded and said, "President Lin, gather all the funds. The next move will be truly massive."
"Can you give me a little hint?" Lin Baoyi asked, somewhat excitedly.
Chen Yuanzhou knew he needed to get a general idea, so he got a map of Jiangcheng City from Xue Qingxiang and then found a corner to sit down with Lin Baoyi.
"President Lin, look~" Chen Yuanzhou pointed to the map and drew a line with his hand: "The next step is to go east along Shengli Road and take over all the projects that can be acquired along the way."
Lin Baoyi was taken aback, then frowned and asked, "Is there some explanation for this? As far as I know, the area along Shengli Road is the worst part of Jiangcheng City. It's all farmland and wasteland, or illegally constructed factories. Every single one of those projects is completely unsupported and unsold, and there are so many of them."
Even with the current four trillion yuan stimulus plan, do these projects really have room for appreciation?
Seeing Lin Baoyi's confused expression, Chen Yuanzhou suddenly changed the subject and said, "President Lin, you should know that the construction of Metro Line 1 in Jiangcheng City has already begun, running from the city center to the riverside new city."
Lin Baoyi nodded: "That's right, the plan for Line 2 was announced a long time ago, from the city center to Subai Lake Scenic Area."
"Hehe~" Chen Yuanzhou chuckled, "What if... the plans for Line 2 are suddenly changed?"
As he spoke, he traced a line on the map, starting from Shengli Road in the city center and moving eastward towards Xiashi University Town…
This route encompasses more than a dozen projects along the entire route.
Finally, Chen Yuanzhou asked, "President Lin, if the subway line follows this route, do you think the properties along the line will appreciate in value?"
"Hiss~"
Lin Baoyi was completely stunned!
He was well aware of the meaning behind Chen Yuanzhou's few words.
It should be noted that as the provincial capital, Jiangcheng's subway line planning requires approval from the top level. How could a plan that has already been finalized be easily modified?
Moreover, even if modifications are made, the significance of both the high-density residential areas in the west of the city and the tourist attractions in the south far exceeds…
and many more!
Lin Baoyi suddenly had a guess!
Looking at the map of Jiangcheng City, the areas to the west and south are blocked by mountains and rivers. The areas with the most land in the entire Jiangcheng City are to the north and east.
Especially towards the east, the urban area is extremely sprawling. If this area can be developed effectively, and nearly 30 kilometers of roads along the route were developed, the resulting economic benefits would be unimaginable…
At that time, the sightseeing along the route will no longer be limited to the current dozen or so projects; in the future, there will be dozens or even hundreds of projects!
Should we first enhance the already well-developed transportation infrastructure of scenic areas, or provide timely assistance to those in need in the suburbs?
Lin Baoyi felt his throat was a little dry, and asked in a hoarse voice, "Why do you think the subway plan will be changed?"
This is the most crucial issue!
