29: Huge money-making opportunity, buy demolished house

"Miss Li, I understand your situation perfectly now."

Gao Ze finally understood why Li Qingshu could be cold and aloof at times, yet at other times appear lonely and resilient.

This complex personality stemmed from the awkward position of being an illegitimate daughter, yet Li Qingshu herself yearned to prove herself, not wanting to be a socialite who only indulged in pleasure.

"This is the first time I've spoken about my background and family, Mr. Gao, please forgive me."

Li Qingshu held her breath, trying her best to suppress the emotions surging within her.

Gao Ze looked at Li Qingshu, whose eyes were red-rimmed, and handed her a tissue: "Sometimes, speaking it out can significantly reduce mental and physical pressure, preventing you from carrying such a heavy burden!"

"I'm used to it; I can control myself!"

Li Qingshu smiled at Gao Ze, took the tissue, but didn't wipe her face.

She didn't know why, but she felt as if she had almost lost control of the emotions and grievances that had accumulated over so many years.

Perhaps the environment at the Public Security Bureau made her feel secure, allowing her to have no worries.

"Mr. Gao, this is my identity. The reason I'm looking for an investment consultant is very simple: I want a professional to help me, so I can prove myself to my father!"

Li Qingshu looked at Gao Ze with a serious gaze and said earnestly:

"Mr. Gao, now that you know my identity and situation, do you think you can still help me as my investment consultant?"

"This isn't to doubt your ability, but I need someone with extremely strong capabilities and professionalism to help me. I don't want to waste your time or mine."

"If you can't, please tell me truthfully. Even then, I'm willing to pay you a fee, as long as you tell the truth."

"I should be competent!"

Gao Ze nodded without hesitation.

He had an intelligence system for investment consulting, which should enable him to help Li Qingshu.

Moreover, given Li Qingshu's complex background, she actually needed a comprehensive life mentor, and with his rich experience and insights from over thirty years in his previous life, he could also help Li Qingshu.

"I'm very happy to hear that answer!"

Li Qingshu asked curiously, "But how do you plan to help me with my investments?"

"Should I invest in the stock market, or in nascent internet companies, or in traditional industries like convenience stores and restaurants, or perhaps in the emerging new energy sector?"

Li Qingshu's eyes were full of anticipation, genuinely hoping that Gao Ze could help her and prove competent in the role of an investment consultant.

Because perhaps Gao Ze, compared to the investment consultants she had seen before, wasn't as professional or knowledgeable about information on various emerging industries.

However, Gao Ze made her feel secure enough not to worry about being deceived.

Perhaps it was due to Gao Ze's profession, or perhaps it was seeing him apprehend Sun Haizhu that afternoon, his unwavering and fearless demeanor, which made her feel like she could trust him implicitly.

"The domestic stock market, without inside information, lacks investment value, and I don't have much experience in that area.

As for the internet industry, it's already a fiercely competitive red ocean, but AI-related industries are rising. However, you lack professional talent and can't make a strategic move there!"

Gao Ze had investigated Xia Country's businesses last night, finding them almost identical to his previous life, and said:

"As for traditional industries, dangers and opportunities coexist.

Operating a large supermarket or restaurant requires the investor to be personally involved, and neither you nor I have that kind of time.

The new energy industry, on the other hand, is an industry that Xia Country is vigorously promoting and dominates internationally. Currently, the domestic new energy upstream and downstream industries are not yet complete, making it indeed suitable for entry.

But the problem is that your capital is insufficient; you can't get to the table."

"Then what should I do?"

Li Qingshu wasn't disappointed by the negation; instead, her eyes showed a hint of anticipation, because Gao Ze's words were mature and sound advice, similar to what the investment consultants around her father would say.

"I'll go back and think about which industries and businesses are suitable for your investment."

Gao Ze searched his mind for businesses that were popular in his previous life, but for a moment, he couldn't think of any that were suitable for Li Qingshu.

He wanted to conduct a detailed investigation to see the current development stages of various industries and sectors before giving Li Qingshu specific advice.

The intelligence system might also refresh with commercial opportunities for making money.

Thinking of this, Gao Ze's eyes lit up.

The system intelligence had mentioned early this morning that Guan Shan Community in Jinghai District would be included in the demolition plan, and residents of that neighborhood would receive substantial demolition compensation.

This news had not yet been released, which meant there was still an opportunity to purchase demolition-eligible properties, but action had to be swift, purchasing them before the evening news report.

"Okay, then I'll wait for you, Mr. Gao, to investigate various industries and give me detailed investment advice."

Li Qingshu's eyes dimmed, inevitably feeling a little disappointed.

"Miss Li, I have a money-making opportunity here; it's not really an investment, but more like speculation. Are you interested?"

Gao Ze noticed Li Qingshu's disappointment and smiled, "And if you want to make money through speculation, your execution must be quick!"

"What kind of speculative money-making opportunity? Tell me about it." Li Qingshu showed a hint of interest.

Gao Ze said word for word, "Guanshan Neighborhood in Jinghai District will be included in the city's demolition plan. This news is currently still a secret, and not many people are aware of it."

"You mean you want me to buy demolition-eligible properties in advance and wait for the demolition compensation?"

Li Qingshu's eyes widened. She didn't ask Gao Ze how he knew such official secret intelligence about demolition.

Gao Ze could even bring down Director Xu, so knowing official intelligence wasn't strange at all.

"Yes, currently Guanshan Neighborhood is an old, dilapidated neighborhood in Donghai City, with property values at a low point. But once the demolition news is announced, whether the demolition office decides to compensate with property or cash, it will cause the value of Guanshan Neighborhood to skyrocket."

Gao Ze nodded, then changed the subject, saying,

"However, the intelligence about Guanshan Neighborhood's demolition is very likely to be reported on today's evening news."

"If you want to make money from this low-buy, high-sell opportunity, you'll need to purchase property in Guanshan Neighborhood within at least 5 hours."

Li Qingshu held her breath and fell silent.

As a native of Donghai City, how could she not know the value of real estate in Donghai City? But buying physical property within five hours would severely test one's execution ability.

This wasn't like buying stocks, which could be done with a tap on a mobile platform.

First, one would have to find residents willing to sell property in Guanshan Neighborhood, resolve the second-hand property deed tax issues, and deal with various disputes. Every step of the process would be time-consuming.

"I have a question, Mr. Gao. Since you know this internal information, why don't you make this money yourself?"

Li Qingshu thought for a moment and then asked the question on her mind.

"It's not that I don't want to make money; it's that with my funds, I can't afford real estate in Donghai City, not even old, dilapidated houses like those in Guanshan Neighborhood!"

"Besides, this afternoon, I have an important case to handle and no time to borrow money to buy a house!"

"In your heart, Mr. Gao, cases are more important?" Li Qingshu asked curiously.

"Of course!"
