110: Nantianmen

Qian Ziyong thought to himself, "You don't want to sell off-plan properties, do you?"

"Eight thousand per square meter? Such an expensive price is probably because it can't be sold, right?"

Housing prices in Han City are not high right now; typical commercial housing averages around five thousand.

The Gaoshan Liushui is more expensive due to its lakeside location and exquisite decoration.

When negotiating the price with the salesperson just now, besides a significant reduction in the average price, they also included a parking space and exempted deed tax.

Qian Ziyong looked at the endless lawn and said enviously, "This company is really amazing, losing trillions! If only I had that ability!"

Jin Duolai chuckled, "Boss Qian, you're joking."

"Everyone in Han City knows Boss Qian is exceptionally capable; Feihuang Supermarket is making a fortune."

"Besides making money, Feihuang Supermarket also has a good reputation; it's truly both famous and profitable!"

If it were anyone else buying a house from him...

A reduction of two hundred thousand?

Don't even think about it!

It's because Qian Ziyong's reputation is excellent.

With Qian Ziyong buying a house here, a little publicity would definitely make his properties sell much better than before.

Qian Ziyong shook his head, walked out, and approached the large gate.

Looking up, the gate was truly very tall.

It was magnificent and grand; Qian Ziyong even felt a little dizzy from looking up for too long.

Such a majestic gate was just a gate.

Looking inside, there was nothing but grass and one pit after another.

Qian Ziyong also saw two middle-aged men walking around with very grim expressions.

Qian Ziyong walked over, "Two elder brothers, are you also here for a walk?"

It was very spacious here, indeed good for walking.

Qian Ziyong planned to come here for a stroll to aid digestion after eating his fill in the future.

"No, we're here to eat something," said an older middle-aged uncle.

One could see that the uncle's face was somewhat weathered, and his clothes were covered in dust.

"Eat something?" Qian Ziyong looked around, "Here, besides grass, there's just grass. What is there to eat?"

The middle-aged uncle gave a bitter smile, "What else can we eat? Dirt, and drink the northwest wind!"

"We bought a house here five years ago, and there's only a gate!"

"We still have to pay the mortgage every month, our family is almost broke, and we still have to rent a place to live, sigh..."

As soon as the topic of housing came up, the middle-aged uncle's expression became dejected.

Qian Ziyong didn't know how to comfort him, "Uncle, you're so unlucky, you bought a house here?"

"This community would take at least three or four years to build, right?"

Although Qian Ziyong didn't know much about real estate, he still knew some basic common sense.

A community, from the start of construction to its complete finish, could take three years, or even five to ten years.

The uncle bought a house here, but not even the foundation had been laid; it would take at least three years for him to move in.

After hearing Qian Ziyong's words, the uncle sighed deeply, "This scamming developer."

"They haven't even laid the foundation, who knows when they'll start building?"

"It's very possible the developer never intended to build houses for us common people; they just wanted to swindle our money!"

"We've visited many places, but we can't do anything about the developer!"

"Just one sentence, 'It's all in the planning, construction will start soon,' and they dismiss us!"

"Even hiring a lawyer is useless; we can't win the lawsuit at all."

"Even if we win, if they just say they don't have money now, there's nothing we can do."

Listening to the uncle's complaints, an unnamed fire surged in Qian Ziyong's heart!

But he couldn't do anything; he could only join in with a few curses.

Any comfort seemed pale.

What the other party wanted was a house.

They paid the money, and by the stipulated time, they didn't get a house; not even the foundation was laid.

Why couldn't they sue the developer for fraud?

Sigh...

Qian Ziyong sighed heavily.

The uncle's misfortune made Qian Ziyong's good mood from just buying a house disappear, replaced by a heavy heart.

He had a house, and it was a large flat.

But many others paid money and got absolutely nothing.

"If I had the ability, one day, I would definitely do something for them."

Qian Ziyong thought of a poem.

Oh, to have tens of thousands of spacious houses, to shelter all the poor scholars under heaven, so they may be joyful!

On the way back, although Qian Ziyong was driving a luxury car, he was not in a good mood.

Ye Xiaoqin kept comforting him from the side.

"Boss, this is how the world is; some people are very bad and like to bully the weak."

"They specialize in studying laws and then devise all sorts of ways to make money and swindle people!"

"No matter which industry, you'll encounter such disgusting people."

Ye Xiaoqin was telling Qian Ziyong about her experiences.

As she spoke, she started talking about how her boss at her previous company exploited employees.

She also talked about some unpleasant experiences her classmates had encountered.

Qian Ziyong and Ye Xiaoqin chatted, and soon they arrived at the company.

Upon returning to the office, he found Li Lian already waiting for him there.

"Boss," Li Lian quickly stood up when he saw Qian Ziyong return.

Ye Xiaoqin made tea for the two of them.

Qian Ziyong smiled, "Brother, you're here, please sit!"

Li Lian did not sit down; instead, he held an account book, wanting to report the recent situation of the supermarket and the Hot Pot Restaurant to Qian Ziyong.

Qian Ziyong quickly stopped him and said, "Is there anything major recently?"

Li Lian shook his head.

Qian Ziyong then said, "Since there's nothing major, then you can make the decisions for everything else!"

"You know my personality; I don't like to bother with things twice."

"Feihuang Supermarket has always been your responsibility; no matter what it is, you just make the decision!"

"I only handle the general direction."

"So, you don't need to report supermarket matters to me; you handle them as you see fit!"

Qian Ziyong knew very well that Li Lian was here to tell him how much money the supermarket had made during this period.

Qian Ziyong really didn't want to hear it.

If Li Lian told him how much money the supermarket had lost, he would be very happy.

He would even be willing to talk with Li Lian all night.

Hearing Qian Ziyong say that he could make all the decisions for the supermarket, Li Lian was deeply moved.

He had also been a boss, and he himself would never completely trust his subordinates.

When he was a boss, he was always very worried.

But how much trust Qian Ziyong had in him, to have been away for so long and still not inquire about the supermarket.

"Boss, I will definitely make the supermarket prosper!"

"But about the New Year holiday and year-end bonuses..."

Before Li Lian could finish, Qian Ziyong quickly interrupted, "No!"

"The New Year holiday is already a decided matter, don't change it!"

"If you think seven days isn't enough and want to extend it for a few more days, and that's why you're here, then we can talk!"

"Otherwise, don't say anything more; it's a waste of time!"

Li Lian immediately shut his mouth.

He wanted Qian Ziyong to change his mind and not have a holiday for the New Year.

If, while talking with Qian Ziyong, it turned into an even longer New Year holiday, then he'd be finished!

Qian Ziyong seemed gentle and very kind to people, but sometimes his temper was a bit strange; once he made up his mind about something, not even eight oxen could pull him back!
