Chapter 6 Future Direction(1/2)
It's a hot summer day, and the rolling heat waves keep pouring into the room, making it impossible to remain calm.
I don't know how long it took.
Chen Weidong woke up from his stupor.
Even though it has been several days since the rebirth.
But every time I wake up, I still can't suppress the feeling of worrying about gains and losses.
I'm really afraid this is a dream.
I'm really afraid that rebirth is just a trick played by God to comfort the frustrated.
…
"Awei, you're awake."
"Let's have some barbecued pork rice first."
The third uncle saw that Chen Weidong was awake and greeted him casually.
Chen Weidong looked up and found that his third uncle was reading a newspaper, which seemed to be related to real estate.
He breathed a long sigh of relief and asked, "Have you decided which location to buy?"
"It's too expensive, it's outrageous."
The third uncle sighed.
He used to think that the skyrocketing housing prices in Xiangjiang had nothing to do with him, since he couldn't afford it anyway.
Now that I have money, I realize that housing prices are already so high.
Chen Weidong listened thoughtfully.
Thinking of the historical housing prices in Xiangjiang, they were indeed so famous.
Between 1991 and 1996 alone, the Hong Kong property price index increased fourfold. In 1996 alone, housing prices rose by another 30%.
Now that my third uncle wants to buy a house, no wonder he finds it too expensive.
If you spend a few hundred yuan on a normal day, you will be called a lavish spender.
Now that I have one billion in my pocket, it is normal to feel pain when I suddenly have to spend such a large amount of money to buy a house that has been inflated.
Now in the market, the mainstream voice is that the real estate bubble in Xiangjiang is already very big, and everyone should stay calm.
Therefore, many people are still in a wait-and-see state.
"Look at this, Harbor View Court, with three bedrooms and one living room, a 1,000-square-foot house costs HK$8.25 million. It's so outrageous that even the richest man in our hometown can't afford it."''
The third uncle came over and pointed to Chen Weidong a property advertised in the newspaper.
"Just buy whatever you want, as long as the environment is good and the location is quiet."
Chen Weidong is not very interested in houses, but he can't stand the outrageous increase in housing prices, which has become well known to passers-by.
People in Xiangjiang often refer to it as the "mansion with a thousand feet".
Mansion Mansion.
For those who don’t know, at first glance, they might think it is some kind of big villa.
In fact, 1,000 feet is approximately equal to 93 square meters.
How dare you call it a mansion with such a large area?
But the market is like this. When an item is speculated, as long as it has enough added value, even a straw hat can be called a luxury product.
What's more, this is a house, an indispensable thing for everyone.
Which one can let you go, your girlfriend or your future mother-in-law?
Real estate developers and speculators have seized on these and wildly increased housing prices. Coupled with the link to medical education, this has become an urgent need.
Of course, countless people also secretly scolded people like Lin Jiacheng for driving up the property market in Xiangjiang so high that ordinary citizens cannot afford to buy a house.
Real estate is an absolutely profitable industry.
Create countless rich people.
Twenty years from now, there will be another person in mainland China who also relied on real estate to successfully become the richest man in China for a period of time.
But it ended up going bankrupt, leaving a lot of debt behind.
once Upon a time.
Like many people, Chen Weidong has imagined countless times that if he could go back in time and live a new life, he would definitely be engaged in real estate.
Speculate real estate and become extremely rich.
However, Chen Weidong now has experienced twenty years of prison life and the ups and downs of his life.
I no longer have the obsession with money I used to have.
The second generation is human.
After finally reliving, if you are still dominated by money, then rebirth is meaningless.
…
After dinner.
Chen Weidong and his third uncle came to HSBC Bank to cash the one billion check.
Of course it is impossible to convert all of it into cash.
Even if you make an appointment in advance, it will be difficult for banks throughout Hong Kong to raise one billion in cash in a short period of time.
The person who received them was a lobby manager. After verifying the authenticity of the check, he welcomed them to the VIP room and urgently notified the president.
Not long after.
A slightly fat middle-aged man hurried over and said in a very kind tone:
"Two gentlemen, what business do you need to do? I'll ask the specialist to handle it for you directly. You don't have to queue up at the window. Just sit down and drink a few cups of coffee and wait."
There are not many big clients like this in the whole of Xiangjiang, not to mention that he is so young, he might be the eldest son of some family.
Chen Weidong explained his intention.
Immediately afterwards, the bank staff opened two bank cards for them and deposited 50% of one billion into them.
One card per person.
The third uncle crossed his legs and remained calm throughout the whole process. It was obvious that he was pretending again.
Others don't know, but Chen Weidong knows it very well.
In order to visit the bank, the third uncle specially wore a suit and had hair wax on his head. He looked like an elite.
The bank president was also secretly surprised, and his thoughts were indeed extraordinary.
But I am a little curious, whose noble son is this, and why have I never heard of it? It seems that I will look through the information later.
Before leaving, the president gave them a bunch of small gifts.
Out of the bank.
The third uncle, who holds hundreds of millions in his hands, is extremely arrogant and arrogant when he walks.
Unexpectedly.
Extreme joy brings sorrow. As soon as I left the bank, I met an "acquaintance".
The man in a suit came over with a few horse boys in a hurry.
With this posture, it is difficult not to believe that they are squatting here deliberately.
The third uncle immediately stuttered like a deflated rubber ball:
"Brother Xiong, you also come to the bank to do business."
Unexpectedly, the man in the suit did not come up with threats or harsh words. Instead, he smiled and patted the third uncle on the shoulder and said:
"Not bad, it looks like you have already secured three million, right?"
Don't wait for Uncle San's answer.
Chen Weidong was the first to speak: "We have already taken care of the money. Please accept this check for three million."
After saying that, Chen Weidong took out a filled-in check and handed it directly to the man in the suit.
"Don't worry, our boss wants to meet you. If you agree, the three million will be waived."
The man in a suit waved his hand and said something intriguing.
"What? Such a good thing?"
The third uncle's face was overjoyed. He didn't expect that he could save millions by just meeting him.
About to agree.
But I heard Chen Weidong say in a tough tone: "No need, just follow the rules. We don't want to owe anyone anything."
To be continued...
