Chapter 100: The Pledge of Allegiance
Chapter 100: The Pledge of Allegiance
As the unveiling ceremony concluded, Wang Fang withdrew his gaze and turned back to make phone calls one by one at his desk.
He needed to spread the news as quickly as possible that Zijinyuan had successfully become the premier school district in Jiangcheng City.
The person who could be personally summoned by the eldest son of the family must be no ordinary rich person. They don't need to be rich, but they must be extremely wealthy!
After ending a call, Wang Fang glanced at Wang Yuzhe beside him, somewhat annoyed by his sluggishness: "What are you still standing there for? Notify all the important clients, as well as those GG companies, the partner banks..."
"Do I have to teach you everything?"
Upon hearing this, Wang Yuzhe froze, falling silent and not daring to utter a sound. He simply stepped out of the door and began making contact in the hallway.
At the same time, Chen Yuanzhou also dialed Zhang Wang's number...
"Feed?" Zhang Wang answered quickly.
Chen Yuanzhou asked, "Could you please tell the store managers you know that Zijinyuan has been assigned to a school district, and Xuejun School is a nine-year consistent system?"
"What? Is it really Xuejun?" Zhang Wang was also very surprised after hearing this.
Although Chen Yuanzhou had mentioned a few days ago that he had some inside information from clients, it's difficult to spread rumors; we have to wait for official confirmation.
"Confirmed!" Chen Yuanzhou replied, "I'm at the entrance of Zijinyuan now, and the signs for the opposite campus have already been put up."
Zhang Wang also knew that these kinds of things were first come, first served, and since it was official news, even intermediary companies should know about such important news!
With this in mind, he stopped notifying them privately one by one and instead used a different method.
Without hesitation, he sent the message to the store managers' group chat in the western region after hanging up the phone.
[Zhang Wang (Qinchun Jiayuan): I just received news that Zijinyuan, located at the intersection of Gushan Road and Binshui Road, has been confirmed to be within the school district of Xuejun School, a nine-year compulsory education school.]
In this way, the store manager he had contacted privately before would naturally understand what he meant!
Sure enough, as soon as the message was sent out, the usually stagnant regional store manager group started to boil over...
[Holy crap! Old Zhang, you're not kidding, are you? Xuejun opened a branch campus?!]
Is this the same Xuejun I know?
[Besides Zijinyuan, which other residential communities have been included in the area?]
[The prices at Zijinyuan are insane!]
[It's true! It's been announced on the official website!]
We're all seasoned veterans in this industry, so we naturally understand what a top-ranked key school district in the province means for a new project.
Even if other nearby communities are not included in the school district, the existence of Zijinyuan will drive up housing prices to some extent, in addition to the already announced four trillion yuan stimulus plan.
In no time, all the stores in the area that were even a little bit close to Zijinyuan started to take action.
Because they not only knew about the school district boundaries, but they had also been informed in advance by Zhang Wang that speculators had acquired a large number of properties in Zijinyuan and were now selling them…
When it comes to matters of personal interest, no one can remain indifferent!
However, the most excited person at this moment was Lin Baoyi, who was standing next to Chen Yuanzhou.
"Xiao Chen!" He turned to Chen Yuanzhou: "We're rich now!"
After Chen Yuanzhou purchased 18 76㎡ studio apartments, only 276 units remained available for sale in Zijinyuan, with some units reserved. Therefore, Lin Baoyi only purchased 256 units at that time.
The average price is around 9000 yuan/㎡, and the total price reaches more than 2.5 million yuan.
The school districts have now been finalized, and the key school zones have been confirmed. All that's left is to sell these properties at 22000...
No! Even if it's sold at a unit price of 20000, the total amount would probably be over 5.6 million. Even after deducting all costs, the net profit would far exceed 100%!
This is more than double the 30% that Chen Yuanzhou originally promised!
Moreover, this is a short-term profit. Lin Baoyi fully believes that if he doesn't need the money urgently and has to cash out, as long as he holds these houses for the long term, the future returns will be even higher.
However, this depends on the specific ideas of each investor in the property speculation group...
Regardless, Lin Baoyi knew he had won this gamble, he had made the right bet!
"Xiao Chen, I'll arrange to wire you the payment right away!" Lin Baoyi said excitedly, "Just the price of 22000!"
Chen Yuanzhou smiled and said, "President Lin, the house hasn't even been sold yet, and you're already settling the bill? What if it doesn't sell for 22000?"
Lin Baoyi shook his head at this moment.
If I get caught up in these petty gains now, what if Chen Yuanzhou stops playing with me next?
His sudden suggestion to prepare data on the eastern part of the city was definitely not unfounded; it was aimed at a specific purpose.
Lin Baoyi still held the same idea: to forge a deep bond of interests with Chen Yuanzhou. However, he would no longer question Chen Yuanzhou's judgment.
As he spoke, he took out his phone and did some calculations, then said, "Xiao Chen, if we round down a bit, it's 3800 million. Is that acceptable?"
Upon hearing this, Chen Yuanzhou silently did some mental calculations and realized that Lin Baoyi had given too much.
According to the agreement between the two parties, 10% of the profit plus a consulting fee of 100 million should amount to more than 3700 million. Lin Baoyi even gave an extra several hundred thousand.
However, he didn't bring it up at this point, he just nodded.
Chen Yuanzhou understood Lin Baoyi's intentions perfectly well. If such a small amount of benefit could completely solidify the cooperation between the two parties, it would be an extremely worthwhile deal!
Then Lin Baoyi said somewhat awkwardly, "Xiao Chen, but you'll have to give me a few days to process this payment. Before, in order to secure these properties, cough cough~"
"Our working capital is almost exhausted. Three days, give me three days."
Chen Yuanzhou laughed and said, "No problem, President Lin. We haven't even signed a formal agreement, it's just a verbal promise. Even if you renege on your promise, there's nothing I can do about it."
"You're joking!" Lin Baoyi quickly replied, "I'm a businessman, and I value my promises above all else. I'm a man of my word, and I would never renege on my commitments. As for the consulting contract, I'll have someone complete it later."
Chen Yuanzhou nodded with a smile and didn't say anything more.
The reason he dared to cooperate with Lin Baoyi based solely on verbal promises was partly due to his understanding of him from a previous life.
Lin Baoyi later became one of the behind-the-scenes operators of nearly one trillion yuan in capital. If he didn't even have the most basic credibility, he couldn't have gotten to that point.
On the other hand, Zijinyuan was also his pledge of allegiance to real estate speculators.
Do you really think that a million-dollar consulting fee is so easy to earn without an undeniable successful investment as a foundation?
With this in mind, Chen Yuanzhou asked Lin Baoyi, "President Lin, there must be some investors within your organization who want to hold the shares long-term, right? The news must be spreading very quickly, so you need to divide up the shares within your organization as soon as possible to facilitate subsequent sales."
"You're right," Lin Baoyi said earnestly. "I'll arrange these things and give you a clear answer by tomorrow night at the latest."
This is also a drawback of real estate speculation groups. After all, the funds are raised through fundraising. Some people will cash out as soon as possible, while others will choose to invest for the long term, so it is necessary to clearly divide the shares.
Sometimes there are odd amounts, and it's common for a house to be jointly owned by two or even three or four owners. Or one of them might spend some money to consolidate the ownership. In short, it's a tedious and complicated task.
However, Chen Yuanzhou didn't need to worry about any of this. Since Lin Baoyi had brought a team to Jiangcheng City, he would naturally handle it.
After things settled down at Zijinyuan, Chen Yuanzhou said goodbye to Lin Baoyi and then drove back to Qinchun Jiayuan store.
Considering his own plans, he decided to give it one more try…
As soon as he entered the door, everyone was excited to see him return.
"Xiao Chen, I just recommended Zijinyuan to my client, and he plans to go check it out tomorrow."
"And me, my client's intentions are very clear!"
"Xiao Chen, is there any room for negotiation on the price? It would be best if we could talk about it."
"..."
Chen Yuanzhou smiled helplessly and said, "Listen to me, most of the houses are not mine. I only took 18 studio apartments."
His words stunned everyone for a moment!
Li Jing said incredulously, "You bought it yourself? Holy crap, you have that much money?"
"Yeah~" Xu Chuanchuan also asked, "Last month you looked like you couldn't even afford to eat."
"Then we should thank Brother Feng!" Chen Yuanzhou looked at Wu Ningfeng.
Wu Ningfeng was taken aback at first, then asked uncertainly, "You really married into Wu Jian'an's family? Did they give you the money?"
He couldn't think of any other possibility.
Although it differed slightly from the facts, it was generally correct, so Chen Yuanzhou replied, "That's right, but I didn't marry into the family. It was just normal interaction. I told them about it, and they thought it had potential, so they invested."
"Damn it!" Zhang Jun suddenly couldn't hold back anymore: "If I'd known, I would have married into a family that received compensation for their land expropriation. You've really hit the jackpot in one fell swoop!"
Li Jing was the most practical person; he only cared about the price, so he pressed, "What was the price of the studio apartment you got yourself?"
"Let's push it based on 24000, the minimum is 23000," Chen Yuanzhou said leisurely.
Li Jing frowned: "Why is it even more expensive than before?"
"Because all the properties I got are low-rise buildings near the main entrance, along the street," Chen Yuanzhou shrugged. "Shouldn't they be more expensive?"
"..."
"..."
Everyone was puzzled.
Logically speaking, being located near the road and on lower floors are major drawbacks for high-rise residential buildings.
Zhang Wang came out from the back area and said, "You guys have never sold houses in top school districts, you don't know anything."
"These kinds of houses have a very high turnover rate, especially studio apartments. They are mostly bought by parents for their children's schooling, and they usually sell them after the children finish school. After all, the apartment layouts in Zijinyuan are terrible, and the usable floor area is low."
"And it's a 26-story building with two elevators serving four households each. Imagine if you all bump into each other on your way to or from school in the morning, all of you waiting for the elevator. It's worse than being stuck in traffic. And if the elevator breaks down or there's a power outage, you'll have to climb the stairs, and you'll be climbing without a sound!"
"So the closer to the school, the lower the floor is, which is actually an advantage for this type of housing. When you're in a hurry, you don't have to wait for the elevator; you can just walk a few steps to the school. After all, nobody buys this kind of housing for the sake of living comfortably."
"If comfort is the priority, it would have been better to buy the previous Qinghu Renjia property."
Chen Yuanzhou couldn't help but give Zhang Wang a thumbs up: "Old Zhang really knows his stuff!"
Everyone then understood and, upon careful consideration, realized that this was indeed the case.
Zhang Wang nodded to Chen Yuanzhou: "I've spread the word for you. With such a big commotion at Zijinyuan this time, I reckon your house will be sold soon."
Chen Yuanzhou grinned: "Hey, I knew you were the most reliable."
He then gestured with his chin toward the door and pulled out a pack of cigarettes.
Zhang Wang knew he had something to say, so they went outside together...
