Mysterious Awakening

Chapter 162: River View Residential Area

There was another supernatural event in the downtown area of Dachang City, and it was a very serious "Ghost Knocking on the Door" incident.

But Yang Jian, the one who spread this curse, was completely unaware of it, and even if he knew, he would only applaud.

The car stopped.

Yang Jian, Zhang Xiangu, and Zhang Wei stopped in front of a construction site not far from the downtown area.

"Observing the River Garden."

A huge arched gate, behind which were rows of newly completed buildings. At first glance, the buildings in the community seemed endless. There were at least dozens of high-rise buildings and hundreds of villas. It was a very large community, and it was built along the river, making it perfect in terms of geography and environment.

Moreover, most of the buildings in the entire development had already been completed and were being sold.

Various advertisements were displayed nearby, such as an average price of fifty thousand, buying here is a profit, prime location, and so on.

"It's a nice community." Yang Jian glanced at it and felt a bit restless.

It was not too far or too close to the downtown area, and the transportation was convenient. The most important thing was that it was located near a river, with a low population density nearby. If he settled here, it would be the ideal choice.

"Of course, this is a development I carefully planned. Whether it's the environment, architectural style, or the location, it's top-notch in the country. I want to turn this place into a wealthy area, with villas occupying more than fifty percent of the land. And we've canceled pre-sales. I believe that when the development is completed and they see the environment and quality of the houses here, they will definitely be tempted. Even if the price is a bit high, many people will accept it."

Zhang Xiangu said with a smile. Although it sounded a bit boastful, he was still confident in his development.

"It's a pity that there are ghosts. If this spreads, not only the wealthy, even the poor won't buy it."

Yang Jian said, "And as soon as something happens at the construction site, work stops and sales are canceled, all to block the news. The nerves of wealthy people are more sensitive. Any slight disturbance or bad news will discourage them from buying a house, and at worst, it will affect the selling price."

"You're right, but we're already looking for the cause. But if it's really ghosts... we'll have to ask for your help, Brother Tui," Zhang Xiangu said politely.

"Let's go to the sales office first. The construction site has been relatively calm these days, with no cases of missing workers. It should be safe here."

Yang Jian said, "Although that's the case, Uncle Zhang, would you live here?"

"Well, of course not." Zhang Xiangu said bluntly.

"This sales office of yours is quite good, very luxurious. It's built along the river, with a wide view, and the decoration is luxurious, like a mansion. It even has five floors, so it's quite convenient for living."

Yang Jian arrived in front of the sales office and looked around.

"This was designed by a famous foreign designer that I hired. It's my masterpiece," Zhang Xiangu said. "For such a large community, the storefront needs to be well done."

"Are you selling this sales office?" Yang Jian asked. "I happen to not have a place to live, and this place is not bad. Although there are ghosts, supernatural events will eventually be resolved, and business must continue."

"If you can solve Zhang Wei's problem, I'll give you this sales office," Zhang Xiangu said, thinking for a moment before making a generous offer.

"No, favors are favors, business is business. Let's do it properly. Before this supernatural event is resolved, how can I take something first? So Uncle Zhang, let's talk about the price," Yang Jian said. "Although I'm poor, I can still afford a house."

"Well, um..." Zhang Xiangu hesitated.

He wasn't unwilling to sell, but it was difficult to set a price. He would need Yang Jian's help for that. If the price was too high, others couldn't afford it, which would be embarrassing. If the price was too low, it would be better to give it away for free.

Zhang Wei said, "Dad, Yang Jian said before that he wants to find a place to stay. If he lives here, I'll move here too. So, give him a discount and sell it to him for a few hundred or a few thousand. By the way, give him three villas and two storefronts. I bought a golden sand eagle from him today, but I haven't paid yet. This house of yours won't sell anyway."

Zhang Xiangu looked at his son strangely.

Do you know how wasteful you sound?

"Well, how about this. I'll offer fifty million for this sales office. Uncle Zhang, are you willing to sell?" Yang Jian suddenly spoke up.

This price should be considered the market price here.

Zhang Xiangu looked at Yang Jian in surprise. He didn't expect this young man to dare to offer fifty million as soon as he opened his mouth, and he didn't even change his expression. He really didn't seem like a student of the same age as Zhang Wei.

He remembered that not many of Zhang Wei's classmates came from wealthy families.

"Fifty million is a bit of a premium. This sales office is worth at most thirty million," Zhang Xiangu said with a smile.

"That's the current price. After I live here, the value of this development will be more than that," Yang Jian narrowed his eyes slightly and said seriously.

Zhang Xiangu was curious, "Oh, why?"

"Uncle Zhang, do you think the supernatural events are just a coincidence?"Yang Jian said as he walked, "Currently, there are more and more supernatural events happening in Dachang City. And this is not an exception. Supernatural events are increasing globally. If you pay attention to this kind of news, with your identity and status, you should be able to find out some things easily."

"The reason I left the city is because I don't want to live in crowded places. The more people there are, the higher the chance of triggering supernatural events."

"This property is not bad. Although it is haunted at the moment, if I can solve it and move in, with your intelligence, Mr. Zhang, you should know the commercial value behind it."

Zhang Xiangu's face turned cold, his eyes flickering uncertainly.

If what Yang Jian said was true, that supernatural events were increasing, and there was a special talent who could solve supernatural events living here, it would undoubtedly give the wealthy people in Dachang City peace of mind.

The property prices here might even be too low if they were only selling for fifty thousand.

No wonder Zhang Wei followed this Yang Jian to live here. This kid is quite shrewd, not stupid.

Being able to keep this "Leg Brother" by giving him three villas is definitely profitable.

It can ensure his own safety and boost the property prices of the entire community. It can be said to kill two birds with one stone.

He really is his own son.

He knows how to save his father.

Zhang Xiangu was somewhat moved as he looked at Zhang Wei.

But then his face turned black.

Zhang Wei was actually wearing earphones and watching videos on his phone.

... He should take back what he said earlier.

"It seems that I need to have a good talk with Mr. Yang."

Zhang Xiangu changed his tone and said seriously, using a formal address.

Yang Jian said, "Uncle Zhang, just speak your mind. I am not well-educated and don't understand all the twists and turns. So it's easier for me to understand if you speak straightforwardly."

"Observing Jiang Garden is not developed by me alone. I can't afford this piece of land with my own funds. So there were three developers who competed for cooperation at that time. I was just one of them. I was responsible for the development of the front buildings, while the other two developers were responsible for the back ones. If Mr. Yang can boost the entire property and move in here, we can have a business cooperation." Zhang Xiangu said.

Yang Jian said, "Uncle Zhang, continue. What kind of cooperation?"

Zhang Xiangu said, "If there really are ghosts here, once the other two developers are convinced, they will definitely sell the properties at a low price. We can cooperate and buy their share, and then raise the price for selling."

"It's a simple operation. If everything goes smoothly, we can earn tens of billions."

Yang Jian's eyes twitched at his words.

Tens of billions?

Damn.

He worked hard to solve supernatural events and only earned a few million. Selling a coffin would earn him a few billion. Zhang Xiangu can earn tens of billions with such an operation. The difference is too big.

"Of course, this premise is that supernatural events in Dachang City really exist and are not just occasional exceptions. But as long as supernatural events do exist, I can also spread some rumors locally, and I believe it will have a good effect." Zhang Xiangu said.

"Spreading rumors, manipulating property prices. Uncle Zhang, you're good at playing." Yang Jian said.

Zhang Xiangu said, "It's just some ordinary business tactics."

"If Mr. Yang agrees, we can sign a contract immediately and start the next cooperation. As for the final distribution, Mr. Yang can make his own demands."

Yang Jian narrowed his eyes and calculated in his mind.

This deal is undoubtedly the most profitable one he has had in a while.

Low risk, high return.

Once successful, he won't have to worry about money anymore.

Although he earned a few billion before, he used it all to buy gold, and the amount of gold is far from enough for future consumption.

"40%, I want 40% of the entire community." Yang Jian extended his finger and said.

Zhang Xiangu immediately shook his head and said, "No, that's too much. If it's 40%, I will lose money. I have invested too much in this property, and I will need to invest more if I want to acquire the other two shares. I am taking on all the risks. If I give away 40% of the profit, I will have almost no profit margin."

He thought Yang Jian would be more easygoing, but he didn't expect him to be so ruthless in profit distribution.

He underestimated him.

"I will make the other two developers sell to you at an unbelievably low price, and I can guarantee that there will be a day when the supernatural events in Dachang City can't be hidden. By then, with me here taking care of the security of the entire community, the property prices here can skyrocket. Since it's a business, it has to be fair." Yang Jian said.

"Mr. Zhang is investing now, but he can win in the future." Yang Jian said.

Zhang Xiangu thought for a moment and said, "I will never agree to this price. Unless you can convince me with actual actions, you have the ability to do so, otherwise we have to renegotiate."

"Of course, you don't know much about supernatural events now. After you understand, you will know that 40% is not much." Yang Jian said.

"Since you put it that way, I will trust you this time. Then, let's have a pleasant cooperation." Zhang Xiangu smiled and extended his hand.

"Pleasant cooperation."

The two shook hands.The deal was preliminarily settled.

Yang Jian admired Zhang Xiangu's audacity. Anyone else would hesitate to pay such a high price for this deal, as the investment was too large and the return was uncertain.

Unless... Zhang Xiangu had already known about the outbreak of global supernatural events, which was why he dared to plan ahead.

However, to sniff out business opportunities in supernatural events, his vision was indeed sharp and ruthless.

It was no coincidence that such a person could become wealthy.
