538: 20 sets, for making Jianbing Guozi!

Wang Yuanjia knew that although Purple Imperial Garden was an unfinished project, the listed price per square meter was still over three thousand yuan, and a three-bedroom unit would cost hundreds of thousands.

Even if Ye Su bought three units, it would cost over one million.

With that much money, he could get foot massages until his bones turned soft, yet now he was actually thinking of using it to buy unfinished properties.

"Sigh..."

He guessed that Ye Su was able to drive a Lamborghini precisely because he relied on such high-risk, high-reward gambles, so Wang Yuanjia stopped trying to persuade him and asked helplessly:

"Then what type of apartment are you planning to buy? I'll help you check if there are any suitable listings."

"What is the largest unit type in Purple Imperial Garden?"

"A 144-square-meter, four-bedroom unit."

"What about the housing price? About how much per square meter?"

"I remember the listed properties are basically between 3,400 and 3,800 per square meter, but you know the situation with Purple Imperial Garden. In the current climate, if someone really wants to buy, knocking a few hundred off per square meter wouldn't be a problem."

The intelligence stated that the average price of Purple Imperial Garden was 3,600, and it would rise to 7,100 after construction resumed.

If the price could be lowered by a few more hundred now, he could make nearly 4,000 yuan per square meter!

With 20 units of 144 square meters each, earning 4,000 yuan per square meter, this income would exceed ten million!

After deducting value-added tax and other fees, he should still have about ten million in hand.

In two months, the profit margin would exceed 100%.

If it weren't for the system, Ye Su wouldn't be able to find such an investment project even if he prayed to all the gods.

"I remember that after Purple Imperial Garden became an unfinished project, the project was taken back by the authorities, right?"

"Yes."

"Are there still many pre-sale units that haven't been sold yet?"

"Well, before that development became an unfinished project, the sales rate was only around 30%."

"How about this: don't look for those owners who want to get out of their investments. Help me connect directly with the authorities. As long as we can negotiate it to under 3,200 per square meter, I can purchase 20 of those large 144-square-meter units."

"Cough, cough!!"

Wang Yuanjia, who had just taken a sip of tea, was suddenly choked by the tea. He covered his mouth and coughed violently, and while coughing, he didn't forget to wave his hand at Ye Su.

It was no wonder Wang Yuanjia had such a big reaction.

After all, this wasn't the comment section of a short video where bragging was legal, where driving a million-dollar luxury car was embarrassing, and earning 100,000 a month wasn't even enough to carry someone's shoes.

Here in Yang County, an ordinary person's monthly salary was only a few thousand yuan.

If they wanted to buy an ordinary house, the couple basically had to rely on their parents' help so that the pressure of the down payment wouldn't be so great.

Like Ye Su, who wanted to buy 20 houses in one go—let alone seeing it, Wang Yuanjia had never even heard of such a thing.

Never mind the current market, even back when house flipping was profitable, he had never heard of any house-flipping groups coming to Yang County to sweep up properties and buying 20 units at once.

If it had been any other client he didn't know, Wang Yuanjia would have suspected that the other person was just bored out of their mind and specifically looking to make fun of him.

Of course, even though it was Ye Su who said this, Wang Yuanjia was still half-doubting, thinking he might be joking.

After catching his breath, Wang Yuanjia widened his eyes and asked Ye Su:

"You said you want to buy how many houses!"

Ye Su held up two fingers: "That's right, 20 units. You heard me correctly."

20 units!

Hearing Ye Su's affirmative answer, Wang Yuanjia could only take another sip of tea to calm his nerves.

Just a moment ago, he thought that when Ye Su said he wanted to buy "a few houses," he probably meant three, or four at most. Wang Yuanjia didn't even dare to imagine five.

Now that Ye Su opened his mouth and said he wanted to buy 20 units, someone who didn't know better would think he was buying pancakes.

"Brother, 20 units, are you sure? If this gets tied up, that's over ten million!"

"I know. I'm the one paying. Before I came, I definitely calculated everything clearly. You just need to help me pick the houses."

Wang Yuanjia didn't know where Ye Su got the confidence to dump over ten million into investing in unfinished properties all at once.

Wang Yuanjia looked left and right to see if anyone was paying attention to him, as if he were about to skip out on the bill, and then leaned closer to Ye Su and asked in a low voice:

"Tell me the truth quietly. Did you receive some inside information about Purple Imperial Garden through some channel?"

The intelligence indicated that the news about construction resuming at Purple Imperial Garden could not be disclosed to anyone else. Ye Su couldn't take this old friend along to make money, so he just laughed it off:

"I've been staying in Yangcheng, how could I receive inside information about Yang County? I just feel that since it's been unfinished for so long, the authorities must take some action, so I want to gamble on this development."

"Anyway, after Purple Imperial Garden became an unfinished project, the housing price has been maintained at over three thousand yuan. Even if it falls further, it can't fall that much. At worst, I'll just outlast Purple Imperial Garden and see if I die first or if construction at Purple Imperial Garden resumes first."

"Alright then..."

Wang Yuanjia could tell that Ye Su was now wealthy and generous, and didn't care about the ten million spent on buying houses, which was why he dared to buy 20 units in one go.

"You help me choose which houses to buy. First, the size must be the largest. Second, the floor and unit type must be easy to sell later. It's best if we can finalize it in these few days; I estimate I'll be returning to Yangcheng this week."

"No problem."

There were still hundreds of units left at the developer's side with no takers. As long as there was money, any floor or unit type could be picked at will.

When the waiter started serving the meat, the two chatted while eating, communicating the details of buying the houses.

When he heard that Ye Su didn't intend to take out a loan and was prepared to pay for the 20 units in cash, the chopsticks Wang Yuanjia was using to pick up meat trembled violently a few more times.

This old classmate was just too intense!

What on earth had he been doing in Yangcheng? How did he suddenly become so rich?

At this moment, Wang Yuanjia really wanted to say:

"Brother, if you get rich, don't forget me. If you have any ways to make money, take your dude along too."

Little did he know, Ye Su's mind was no longer on the matter of buying houses.

"Hmm, Brother System really didn't recommend wrong. The Barbecue Sauce at this Barbecue Restaurant indeed has a unique flavor. Once I get the recipe and have Brother System upgrade it, it will definitely become a signature specialty of the Barbecue Restaurant, just like the secret shacha sauce."

The matter of the houses could be handled by Wang Yuanjia. For Ye Su right now, the most important thing was to get his hands on the Barbecue Sauce recipe.

The two of them, each with their own thoughts, chatted while drinking iced beverages and eating barbecue, reminiscing about their playful times in junior high school.

When they were chatting enthusiastically, Wang Yuanjia finally couldn't hold back and asked Ye Su:

"By the way, aren't you still not graduated? How can you both buy houses and drive a Lamborghini? Did you meet some benefactor in Yangcheng, or did you start some business?"

"What benefactor? I just started a small business and was lucky enough to make it work."

Ye Su said it lightly, but Wang Yuanjia knew that there must be some unknown path to success in it.

20 houses, a Lamborghini, and who knows what kind of watch he was wearing; his net worth must be at least several tens of millions.

If it were really as he said, just good luck, then there wouldn't be any poor people left in this world.

Thinking of this, Wang Yuanjia sighed enviously:

"You're still the lucky one. You're already a successful person before even graduating. Unlike me, who will just be a wage slave for the rest of my life, struggling from meal to meal."
