Chapter 64 How Much Would You Pay?
What the football commentators said on TV was exactly the big project Heng Da Group going to do. They didn't build the football field at the place as the rumor said. Instead, they built it in the suburb, which was more than 30 kilometers away from downtown.
One of the reasons for choosing the suburb was because that place was the hinge of the surrounding cities and Jiangzhou. Of course, this was not enough to be the reason why the Heng Da Group chose the place. More importantly, the extension of Metro Line 10 in Jiangzhou would pass through there. Combining the two prerequisites, the previously remote place would become a popular place with the large popularity from several surrounding cities.
Ye Chen remembered clearly that it became the hot news when the Heng Da Group announced where the new football field would be in his last life. People couldn't understand their crazy decision, it was so inconvenient, and many fans who worked and lived in Jiangzhou had to give up on going to the field to watch the game.
They said that the Heng Da Group picked up a sesame seed but lost sight of a watermelon. People thought that the Heng Da Group only tried to attract people from the surrounding cities to expand the territory, but they ignored the inconvenience this location might cause for football fans from Jiangzhou.
Ten days after that, the Jiangzhou city government announced the extension of Metro Line 10, and the metro would go directly to the football field by the time.
Not only people in Jiangzhou but also the people in the surrounding cities were thrilled about the news. This solved the problem of people in Jiangzhou watching football, and greatly facilitated people in surrounding cities as well.
In an instant, people sought out business opportunities regarded the original suburb as a great place! Because people in the surrounding cities would flood in there, and the place would become a real golden area with the large popularity!
However, some people were not happy about this while everyone was cheering up. It was said that dozens of residents in the village on the outskirts regretted their decision, which was that they sold their places to Heng Da Group. They were so ecstatic that they got paid hundreds of thousands of dollars or even millions of dollars at that time.
The houses were all in disrepair for long years, and it was basically self-built dilapidated houses. The homesteads were somewhat valuable, but they didn't worth a lot of money in the market after all because of their remoteness.
But just ten days later, with the official announcement of the extension of Metro Line 10, their regret was beyond words. If they waited ten more days at that time, it would have been at least several times the price! If only they waited ten days!
While thinking of this, Ye Chen checked the date on his phone. It was July 8th, one week before the Heng Da Group bought the residences in the suburbs, so he had to make a move before this.
At this time, Ye Chen realized that no matter what he knew, he didn't have the money to buy it. He knew that once he bought those houses there and then sold them to the Heng Da Group, he would make ten times the original price.
However, he gave all his money to Li Changfeng to short the shares of the Four Seas Group. Now, he wished the Maple Leaf Hotel got in trouble as soon as possible, or he could only withdraw shares!
Ye Chen, who murmured to himself, did not regret taking his money to short the Four Seas Group, because the acquisition of those dilapidated houses required a large sum of money. He could only take twenty properties at most with the 27 million dollars.
After getting the skyrocketingprofit of shorting the shares of the Four Seas Group, he could at least take 40 houses. Even if he recalled earlier what Heng Da Group would do, he would have made the same choice regardless of the tenfold increase in profits.
Ye Chen stood up and got out. He took a taxi, and it reminded him that it was time to buy a car. Taking a taxi was not always convenient. Ye Chen said, "Jinzhong Village in the suburbs, please." After about an hour, he arrived at Jinzhong Village, the place where the Heng Da Group's football field was about to be located.
What he could only see now was a dirty, messy, and old place! It was even worse than the worst urban village in Jiangzhou, which was ​​Jin Lin Mansion!
If it was not for the words "Jiangzhou city" shown on people's ID cards or the registration books, it was hard to believe that there was such a place in Jiangzhou. But it made sense that Heng Da Group managed to buy the village at such a cheap price in his last life.
Ye Chen saw a middle-aged man, asking, "Excuse me, how can I find the person in charge of Jinzhong Village?" "In charge? There are only dozens of households in Jinzhong Village, we don't have anyone in charge." The man said, looking at Ye Chen cautiously, and continuing, "Who are you? What are you doing here? What do you want?"
Ye Chen answered, "No, don't get me wrong. I just wanted to ask if the house here is for sale, I mean the house with the land!" Ye Chen said. "Huh?" The middle-aged man who was lazily sitting on the motorcycle straightened up immediately after hearing Ye Chen's words, confusing, "Do you want to buy a house in our Jinzhong Village?"
In an instant, the middle-aged man became extremely suspicious. He thought, "What the hell? Something wrong with this guy? Who would want to buy a house here! This place is like being isolated from the world, and the dilapidated houses are at least twenty to thirty years old. As long as he is sane, he would not buy it in a million years!"
Someone in the village once posted information on the Internet, thinking that this place belonged to Jiangzhou, and the list price was 500,000 to 600,000 dollars. Although the house was not valuable, the land was still under the jurisdiction of Jiangzhou after all. As a result, not even an intermediary come to them, and the phone never rang after the information was online for half a year.
"Yes, my boss wanted to find a batch of houses with land included. He wanted two things, one was to be in Jiangzhou, and the other was to be cheap. I searched all over Jiangzhou, I guess this is it, Jinzhong Village is the place!" Ye Chen could easily make up a story.
"What? Buy a batch of houses? Are you kidding?" The middle-aged man almost couldn't breathe. People in Jinzhong Village had long been tired of this shabby place. If they had the money to buy a house, they would have all moved out.
"I came all the way here, do you think I'm joking?" Ye Chen laughed out loud. "How much would you pay for it?" The middle-aged man said, getting off the motorcycle. "It depends on how big your house is!" Ye Chen said. "The production team in the past arranged the land for us, so the floor spaces are similar, each household is about 120 square meters, some are two floors, some are three floors!" The man answered, and continued since he was so curious about the price, "How much money would you pay?"
"If this is the case, I can tell you that it should be one million dollars for three floors, and 900,000 dollars for the two floors! Ye Chen said. The man was instantly dumbfounded, "Are you fucking kidding me? For real? One million for three floors? 900 thousand for two floors?" The man got totally stunned and exclaimed.
