Chapter 25 Making Great Fortune Overnight
The next three days, to collect those ingredients, Ye Chen constantly ran around. So much so that even Li Changfeng and Zhang Jingshan, who offered to help him, were rejected.
From running around buying all raw materials until assembling the utensils needed to produce the cream, three days passed as if in the blink of an eye.
Although the area of the rental house was not large, it has somehow become a small workshop for him. This was all thanks to those past life memories imprinted in his brain.
He appreciated himself, who was used to be a "half-assed scholar" in his studies.
Otherwise, even if he know how to create the Flawless Cream, there was no way to start.
June 24th.
7:30 p.m.
Ye Chen, who was sneaking around, put down the tools in his hands. Taking off the gloves, he sat on the sofa and switched on the TV.
According to his past life memory, there will be a press conference tonight. The conference regarding the planning, development, and reformation of the urban village of Jiang Zhou was led by the Municipal Committee, followed by the Urban Construction Bureau, Land and Resources Bureau, National Development and Reform Commission, Bureau of Commerce, and various leaders from other departments.
Because of this press conference, the property price of Jin Lin Mansion fluctuated fivefold overnight with no warning.
After Ye Chen switched on the TV- He didn't even need to wait to finish smoking. The press conference began as predicted.
It started with the opening speech of the Municipal Committee.
Then, coming along with the speeches from the head of departments.
The declaration regarding the relocation project of the urban village and the commercialization of the recent development was then announced.
In the courtyard somewhere near Jiang Zhou-
This was where the former secretary of the Municipal Committee, Zhang Weimin, lived. It was also the old residence of the Zhang family.
In that historical building, lush and shadowy botanicals were planted in its courtyard, forming a peaceful atmosphere.
Inside the house, the TV was playing the scene where the press conference was held by the city government.
In front of it, were none other than the three generations of the Zhang family- the former Municipal Committee Zhang Weimin, the president of Yong An Construction Ltd Zhang Xingguo, and Zhang Jingshan.
"Dad, the government planned to develop that urban village in the West City? Why so sudden? Do you know beforehand?"
Watching the press conference on TV, Zhang Xingguo asked incredulously.
"Of course I do!" The old secretary, Zhang Weimin nodded his head.
"What? Did you know about this matter? Then why don't you tell me earlier?!" Zhang Xingguo got anxious.
"Why should I? Don't think I don't know the thoughts in your head. I've been serving as an honest civil servant for the rest of my life- even I'm in my old age, why would I reveal the government's planning to my son, so that he can become a 'bloodsucking capitalist'? If I did this, won't the citizens talking behind my back?" Zhang Weimin glared and snapped at his son.
Zhang Xingguo went silent- he expected this reply from this old man.
If this old man was selfish, his Construction Ltd will be able to increase its status long ago.
After blowing his fuse, Zhang Weimin continued, "It was Zhou who came over to talk to me about it half a month ago. He asked for my opinions, then reminded me to keep my mouse shut about this matter. According to him, it is private and confidential- whoever leaked this government information will be executed. Don't you realize no one dares to release this information?"
Zhou was now the right-handed man of the Municipal Committee.
Zhang Jingshan- being the one who has always liked to argue with his dad Zhang Xingguo, kept silent once in a blue moon.
His mind went completely blank!
This was because that urban village expected to be developed was located right next to Jin Lin Mansion!
What did it mean?
It means that after the announcement made in the press conference, there will be a price fluctuation on Jin Lin Mansion!
At this moment, those words that Ye Chen said to him kept lingering in his head.
'If you believe me, you can buy some estates here.'
'If I had enough money, I would purchase the entire property! Unfortunately, I have only 200,000 dollars with me, so it's only possible to deposit for two units!'
'Buy it if you believe me!
'Actually, you can try to be a little crazy, such as giving a deposit in one go for ten units, or making a full payment to purchase them all! After all, there is no maximum purchase quantity.'
At that time, he did not take those words seriously.
Although he also followed by paying the deposit for two units, he was merely playing ducks and drakes with the 200,000 dollars. Since he didn't expect that the Jin Lin Mansion will have a price increase soon, he didn't want to spend his money in vain.
But now?
How did Ye Chen know that someone will develop to land beforehand?
It's hard to believe that he knew this news before Zhang Xingguo- that cunning fox, even knew about it.
How was that possible?
"Grandpa, are you sure that no one leaked out the information?" Zhang Jingshan hurriedly asked.
"Unless someone wanted to be thrown out of his job!" Zhang Weimin responded without thinking about it.
"Then could have someone inadvertently leak it on some occasion?" Zhang Jingshan continued his query.
"Do you think that kind of person will be informed in the first place if they say this information is confidential?" Zhang Weimin hit the nail on the head.
Suddenly, Zhang Jingshan felt that something was wrong with this kid. "Jingshan, what do you mean by that? Why do you ask this kind of question?"
"Grandpa, I... I paid a deposit for two units in the Jin Lin Mansion. During its opening, someone told me to get a few units there if I believe him. He also mentioned that if he had money, he would purchase the entire property. Later, he suggested I should buy ten units at once!" Zhang Jingshan replied staggeringly.
At this moment, he wanted to slap himself.
If only he had listened to Ye Chen and bought ten units in one go, what would it be like?
At that time, the price for Jin Lin Mansion was only seven to eight thousand dollars. The entire unit was just approximately 1 million dollars.
Under the discount, 10 units will be 10 million dollars, and he could still afford this price.
However, after this press conference, 10 units were worth at least 50 to 60 million dollars.
In just three days, the price fluctuated from 10 million dollars to 60 million dollars!
Just three days to get a fivefold profit- even he were to rob a bank, he couldn't earn so much money at such a speed!
At this moment, the word 'regret' was no longer enough to describe Zhang Jingshan's feelings.
Simultaneously, his surprise and curiosity towards Ye Chen were inexpressible!
First, it was the Buddha bracelet.
Second, he predicted he will be unlucky in love.
Then, he foretold the fluctuation price for Jin Lin Mansion.
After that, he predicted that Li Changfeng's newly purchased car would be in trouble.
All of those predictions came true one by one.
If they were 'coincidences', could they even be justified?
"What?!" As soon as Zhang Jingshan finished his words, the Old Master Zhang Weimin and Zhang Xingguo exclaimed in unison.
