‘When you talk about money, don’t talk about feelings. These are two different things.”
With that, Lin Yi turned the car around and drove back the way he came.
This was because he remembered that he had passed by a newly developed building earlier. There was already a banner hanging outside which said that pre-sales would begin after the 15th day of the first lunar month. They were now in the warm-up stage.
Lin Yi stopped the car at the entrance of the building.
“Brother, what are you doing here?”
“I plan to buy this apartment. There are more than twenty units on each floor. It’ll be easier to manage everyone if we gather the children on two or three floors.” Lin Yi pointed at the outside of the building. ‘There’s even an empty space outside. We can discuss it with the developer and buy it as well.”
“That’s a good idea, but this building has at least 20 floors. We can use four floors at most. If we buy the whole thing, it will all be wasted.”
“It’s not a waste.” Lin Yi said.
“If I buy the whole building, I’m sure there’ll be a discount on the price. When we come across a better location, I’ll ask your sister-in-law to build another orphanage and then sell this apartment whole. Not only will I not lose out, I might even make some money.”
“Are you serious?’
“Of course.” Lin Yi said, “The higher-ups have a new policy for Yangcheng. The housing prices will definitely increase in the future, so properly is the most stable investment. You can’t go wrong with this.”
“No wonder people say that the rich are getting richer and the poor are getting poorer. You capitalists know too much,” Guo Ningyue complained.
“That’s how society works. The big fish eat the small fish.” Lin Yi said.
“And as development continues, the situation of class solidification, or rather class stratification, will become more severe. It’s just an unavoidable fact. ‘
“Then wouldn’t we commoners become the targets of exploitation by capitalists like yourself?”
“You’re wearing a coat that costs more than two hundred thousand a piece. Why didn’t you call your sister-in-law an evil capitalist when she bought you something?”
“Because I have double standards, haha…”
“Come on, let’s go in and take a look.” Wu Feiyue smiled and said, “You’re already an adult, yet you’re still so noisy.”
“Look, Big Brother is still the best to me.”
With that, Guo Ningyue took Wu Feiyue’s arm and walked into the sales center, ignoring Lin Yi.
Although it was only the eighth day of the Lunar New Year, there were many people in the sales center.
“Sir, Madam, are you looking at houses? What size unit are you looking for?” A female salesperson came up and asked, “We have all kinds of units here, from 79 to 328 square meters. There should be something for whatever need you have. This is a promotional pamphlet. You can take a look.”
“We want to buy an apartment,” Guo Ningyue said.
“Apartment…”
The saleswoman dragged her tone, and her expression was no longer as enthusiastic as before.
“Although apartments are cheaper, it’s better to buy a house.”
“We don’t really need a house. An apartment is good enough,” Guo Ningyue said, unmoved by the saleswoman’s rhetoric.
She and Lin Yi were clear about what was going on.
Because the apartment was small, the unit price was naturally low, so similarly, the sales commission would be low.
Therefore, they were unwilling to sell their apartments if they also had houses available.
“Alright, wait a moment.” The female salesperson called out, “Little Chen, come here for a while.”
“Sister Sun, you were looking for me.”
A boy with glasses said respectfully.
“These guests want to see the apartment. Introduce it to them.”
“Alright, I understand. ‘
With that, the saleswoman left. Even though Lin Yi was good-looking, she didn’t look at him.
“Handsome, she pushed us to you. Does she she no longer want to talk to us because we’re simply buying an apartment?”
The male salesperson looked a little embarrassed. “No, no. She might just be busy.”
“It’s fine. We all know the truth,” Guo Ningyue said.
“An apartment doesn’t cost much, and the commission is low. It’s understandable that she’s unwilling to receive us.”
The male salesperson smiled awkwardly and did not say anything, as if he had tacitly agreed.
When they reached the display unit, the male salesperson turned to the side and said,
“Sir, Madam, we have an apartment building here that will be sold after the fifteenth day of the first lunar month. However, the units inside are all the same. The unit area is sixty square meters. If there are not many people in your family, it will definitely be enough.”
“Brother, it’s your turn,” Guo Ningyue said.
Lin Yi pointed to a piece of land next to building A and said, “l think this empty land is pretty good. I wonder if you can get food delivery here.”
“Huh?” The male salesman was puzzled. “Are you looking to buy this piece of land?”
‘Yes.” Lin Yi nodded. “If this piece of land is available for sale, I’ll even buy the building along with it.”
The male salesperson’s eyes and mouth went wide open, as if he was frightened.
“Sir, are you joking with me?” The male salesperson said.
“The price of this building is at least a billion.”
“Don’t talk about the money. Just tell me if you can sell it to me.”
“If you really have such thoughts, I can discuss it with our manager,” the male salesperson said.
“But I still think you’re joking.”
“This is my business card. Show it to your manager,” Lin Yi said.
“If he’s still suspicious, show it to your boss.”
When he took the business card from Lin Yi and saw the words “President of Lingyun Group”, the male salesperson panicked.
Had a rich person come here?
“Everyone, wait for me in the rest area. I’ll discuss this with the manager. I can’t make the decision myself.”
“Okay, go ahead.”
Lin Yi and the others stopped at the rest area. The male salesperson even poured them a pot of tea and served them extremely well. Then, he ran upstairs to report this matter.
On the second floor of the sales center, the male salesperson took Lin Yi’s business card to the manager’s office.
After hearing this news, the sales manager in charge of this project’s head buzzed.
“He wants to buy the whole building?”
“That’s exactly what he said,” the male salesman said. “And with this business card, it doesn’t feel fake.”
“I’ve indeed heard of this Lingyun Group. It seems to be quite powerful.”
The sales manager asked, “Did you see how they were dressed?”
“The man was wearing a Richard Mille. He seems to be quite rich.”
“Then wait a moment. I’ll report this to the company. Such a big matter is not something I can decide.” The sales manager said,
“If his identity is genuine, neither of us is qualified to receive him. At the very least, we have to call over a vice president.”
“Then quickly investigate this. If we really sell it, our commission will be enough to buy a house in Yangcheng.”
“You’re so damn lucky to get such a big deal right after becoming a full-time employee. How amusing, hahaha. ‘
Twenty minutes later, the sales manager received a call from the higher-ups. When he hung up, his expression seemed to be frozen.
“How’s the manager? Is it true? Is he really that rich?”
“He’s not just rich.. He can easily buy our company, let alone the building…”
