Chapter 11: Making Money Boldly

Doing business comes with risks; in other words, there's no such thing as a guaranteed profit in this world.

But Jiang Qin is a reborn man.

Many things that haven't happened yet, he already knows the outcomes. Making a guaranteed profit is not a difficult task for him.

Especially with Feng Nanshu's financial support, Jiang Qin decided to make money boldly.

The transformation of the old city area in Jeju City is about to begin, with a vast radiation area and generous compensation. Buying demolished houses naturally became Jiang Qin's first goal.

Recently, he has been wandering the streets and alleys with Guo Zihang, posting notices in all the neighborhoods that will be demolished and renovated.

?1?

Fanhua District, Rongcheng, Happy Community, Hongyun Community—these residential areas are all famous for being old and run-down, and there are plenty of residents who feel frustrated and want to move. Those who want to sell their houses are as numerous as the hairs on an ox.

They don't know that this place is about to be demolished, so as soon as they hear that someone is willing to buy houses at a high price, they immediately call Jiang Qin.

Of course, Jiang Qin can't buy every house.

The transformation of the old city area is an official project and a strictly confidential one. Suddenly, before the official notices are issued, someone starts buying houses in the demolition area in large quantities. What does this mean?

Jiang Qin might not even have received the demolition compensation yet, and his ancestors for eight generations might all be investigated.

So, no matter which old and dilapidated community it is, he will only buy one house.

People can be greedy, but before being greedy, they must consider whether they have the ability to swallow it all.

Of course, choosing the right customers also requires skill.

Houses that are still inhabited are a no-go.

Houses with elderly residents are a no-go.

Houses with financial difficulties are a no-go.

So, what's the best target?

It's the kind where the residents have money, can't stand the old and run-down environment, and have moved out a long time ago, leaving the house vacant.

Because the transfer of such houses is relatively straightforward and doesn't involve the dragging on of the process.

In case someone completes the transfer and then refuses to leave, wanting to stay for some more time, it could drag on until the official notices are issued. What if they find out their house is scheduled for demolition? Such people might come knocking on your door and cause a huge fuss.

Jiang Qin's current identity is nothing more than an ordinary high school graduate, so dealing with such situations would definitely be tricky.

So, during this period, he has been carefully selecting his customers. It took him two days to finalize his purchasing targets.

Mr. Xu from Fanhua District, Mr. Liu from Rongcheng, Mr. Bai from Happy Community, and Mr. Wang from Hongyun Community.

These four individuals share a common characteristic – they have all moved their entire families to other provinces and haven't returned for many years. Their houses are old and rundown, and they've struggled to sell them for a long time. So, the houses have remained vacant for many years, and they are eager to sell.

In mid-June, under the scorching sun, Jiang Qin and Mr. Bai from Happy Community sat in a ramen shop. In front of them were the transfer documents and purchase contracts.

Guo Zihang accompanied Jiang Qin, sitting beside him with a somewhat uneasy demeanor, looking a bit timid like a 140-pound chubby boy.

"Uncle Bai, we agreed on 630,000, and I've already transferred the money."

"Ah? Alright."

Mr. Bai looked at Jiang Qin's face and felt it was a bit unreal. "I just checked your ID at the Property Management Bureau. You're only eighteen?"

Jiang Qin didn't mind the age discrimination and grinned. "Lu Xun said, 'Having a house is not determined by age.'"

"But why are you buying this kind of house?"

"My dad likes old houses like this; he thinks they have character."

Mr. Bai nodded thoughtfully, thinking that this must be a wealthy family. They don't treat money like money and happen to have some quirks. Anyway, as long as the house changes hands, that's good. He has settled in another province for many years and has no attachment to this place. He probably won't come back after leaving this time.

Mr. Bai put the contract in his bag and said he had to catch a train in the afternoon, then left in a hurry.

It wasn't until this moment that Guo Zihang lifted his head and looked at Jiang Qin with a serious expression. He was incredibly nervous.

A high school graduate spending over six hundred thousand to buy a house, regardless of whether it's old or run-down, was enough to drop anyone's jaw, at least in Guo Zihang's eyes.

While he was still trying to figure out how to make his QQ space look more colorful and vibrant, his classmates were already out there inspecting and buying houses.

Who could accept this?

The key is that Jiang Qin is incredibly bold. Guo Zihang feels that even if he had over six hundred thousand, he wouldn't dare to spend it. This amount is too hot to handle at their age.

"Did you really buy a house? That's over six hundred thousand."

Jiang Qin pushed his water glass forward, "Let's be honest, no more pretending. I'm a freaking millionaire."

Guo Zihang swallowed hard, "I haven't even been to a foot massage place..."

"Then wait until your acceptance letter arrives, and I'll take you for a tour."

"Thank you, godfather!"

Jiang Qin grinned, thinking, "Old Guo, you're not bad. You've widened your path."

Besides, isn't this better than dating?

You save three months' salary to buy a necklace for your crush, and she just says thank you with a cold face, then secretly throws away the accompanying flowers when you're not looking.

Now look at your brothers, friends, and roommates – they shout "godfather" at the slightest favor.

"By the way, Jiang Ge, there's a gathering in our class this afternoon. Are you going?"

Jiang Qin snapped back to reality, his expression slightly puzzled. "It's not a holiday or a festival. Why have a gathering now?"

Guo Zihang pondered for a moment. "Well, the results are about to come out, right? If we don't gather now, after the results are out, those who didn't do well probably won't feel like gathering."

"If you want to go, go ahead. I won't be attending. I have something to do this afternoon. Enjoy your meal and have fun."

"But Chu Siqi will be there too!"

Jiang Qin put his arm around Guo Zihang's shoulder and stared at him with a sharp gaze. "Why do you keep mentioning Chu Siqi's name in front of me?"

Guo Zihang shrunk his neck. "Aren't you into her? I thought you wanted to see her."

"If I wanted to see her, would I have turned and walked away on Central Street that day?"

"Isn't that playing hard to get? You know what, it works. She even cried. If someone didn't know better, they'd think you dumped her."

Jiang Qin couldn't be bothered to explain further. He took out money and handed it to the boss. "I've just met a girl recently, promised to take her out. I'll pass on the gathering."

Guo Zihang looked at his buddy in surprise. "Where's this girl from? Do I know her?"

"I don't know."

"Then where are you going to hang out? If you're going to the foot massage place, I'll go with you. I'm not interested in gatherings where those high-achievers brag about themselves."

Jiang Qin felt like Guo Zihang's brain might be as small as a peanut. "Have you ever seen someone take a girl to a foot massage place?"

Guo Zihang hesitated. "Is there anywhere else in Jeju worth going to specifically?"

"She wants to go to the City Center's small commodity market."

"That place is full of small vendors, selling knockoff stuff. What's so interesting about it?"

"She hasn't been there before, and she's curious."

Guo Zihang found it hard to believe. "She hasn't even been to a place like that? How poor is her family?"

Jiang Qin couldn't help but give him a look. "Why do you have so many questions? Are you going to the gathering or not?"

"I am..."
