Over the years, Sylvia Chang and Yang Guohua have become quite familiar with Yang Yajing's temperament: she is almost never willing to compromise on anything she wants to do, and it is only others who have to make concessions.

When she says she wants to invest in real estate, it means she has really thought it through and isn't just talking about it.

Maybe they've been planning this for years! Opening factories, building brands, or even setting up studios are probably all just ways to make money through real estate, right?

Nowadays, properties on the outskirts of the city cost only 200,000 to 300,000 yuan, while those near the inner ring road cost only around 400,000 yuan.

Over the years, the Yang family has accumulated several million yuan, and if it weren't for those continuous investments, it would probably be even more.

Yang Yajing is seventeen now. Yang Guohua is very confident in letting her look at the properties she wants to buy, and he will just provide the money.

Moreover, he could negotiate the price if he bought the house with cash, so he wasn't worried that Yang Yajing would lose out.

I remember hearing Sylvia Chang talk about how sharp her tongue was when she went to take over a factory. She managed to get such a big processing plant back at half price, and the other party even felt like they made a profit!

But when Yang Yajing brought back the information on these properties, Yang Guohua became uncertain again.

These properties are half pre-sale apartments and half newly built buildings. The only thing they have in common is that the transportation to these properties is not very convenient.

The inconvenient transportation makes the prices cheap, but they still can't sell for a good price. Moreover, some of the properties are in Pudong, and the reason for choosing them is simply because they have parking spaces.

Yang Guohua couldn't understand it: What's the use of having a parking space? Aren't those who can afford a car already buying houses in the urban area? Can those who can only afford to buy houses in that area afford to buy private cars?

But Yang Yajing wasn't looking at the current situation; she was looking at future developments.

What Yang Guohua didn't know was that within two or three years, these places would all have subway stations, and private cars would soon become commonplace. People who could afford a car might not necessarily be able to afford property in the city center.

What puzzled Yang Guohua even more was that among the properties Yang Yajing had chosen, there were old Shikumen houses in the city center, as well as an old building area known as "20,000 Households".

Will this house be able to be sold?

Yang Yajing knew that in the first phase of demolition, residents would receive housing and compensation, so she was determined to buy those houses no matter what.

In addition to buying a house, she also wants to transfer their household registration to those three houses.

"Ya Jing, what exactly are you doing? We're getting more and more confused!" Yang Guohua was bewildered.

"Dad! You'll see later that I have inside information about some policy changes."

"You're just a high school student, where did you get this information from?" Yang Guohua thought Yang Yajing was just talking nonsense.

Yang Yajing was obviously lying. She didn't find out about it at all; she simply knew it from her previous life.

Hearing Yang Yajing's firm stance, and knowing that his daughter wouldn't let them take the medicine or waste his money, Yang Guohua understood.

They've asked and answered, so let Yang Yajing figure it out herself! Anyway, they're approaching retirement age, and they understand that children and grandchildren have their own lives to live, so they're too lazy to interfere.

For off-plan properties, you only need to pay a deposit; for completed properties, you can buy them directly with cash and start decorating immediately.

Those few Shikumen houses in the city center, converted from "20,000 households" into detached houses, were rented out by Yang Yajing after she finished decorating them.

After buying and renovating a dozen or so houses, my savings are gone again!

She spends her money in all sorts of ways, and once she runs out, she finds ways to earn it back. It seems like she's never stopped.

Seeing Yang Yajing's real estate investments, which she described as a sure-fire way to make money and have yielded substantial profits, Yu Ning felt a pang of envy.

Anyway, following Yang Yajing is always the right thing to do. So when Yang Yajing took a liking to the two sets but didn't have enough money to buy them, Yu Ning poured all her savings into them without saying a word.

"Yang Yajing! I'm broke again! Help me earn some more!" Yu Ning paid the final payment and clung to Yang Yajing's arm, shaking it back and forth.

Although seventeen-year-old Yang Yajing is already 1.6 meters tall, she looks quite comical as Yu Ning, who is 1.7 meters tall and has long legs, shakes her arms.

"Make money, make money, make money! Let's make money together!" Yang Yajing nodded with a smile. "Once the renovation is complete, you can rent it out first, and we'll use the rent to continue supporting your brand."

"But I feel like the brand's customer traffic has already peaked!" Yu Ning pouted.

“Hmm…” Yang Yajing said thoughtfully, “It’s time to switch platforms.”

"Change platforms? Change to which platform?" Yu Ning perked up, but wasn't entirely sure. "Come on, let's go to your place for coffee and talk in detail?"

"You're just mooching off me when you come to my place, aren't you? Why don't you treat me to KFC?" Yang Yajing teased her.

"Oh no! You know I can't eat fried food, I'll get yelled at to death!" Yu Ning was inwardly distressed!

"Well... a sushi shop that sells large quantities of raw sushi opened downstairs, shall we go eat there? Raw fish and shrimp won't make you fat anyway!"

"Fine! I'll bleed money today! As long as you can help me earn it back!"

At the sushi restaurant, Yang Yajing didn't sit directly in front of the turntable, but instead went to the magazine rack and grabbed a few magazines.

"You read magazines too? I thought you only read high-brow books!" Having gone to the library countless times with Yang Yajing, this was the first time Yu Ning had ever seen Yang Yajing reading magazines.

"It's not for me to see, it's for you to see!" Yang Yajing said, pushing the magazine to Yu Ning, and also taking two or three plates of sushi and sashimi off the conveyor belt.

"Show me?" Yu Ning asked, puzzled, but not forgetting about the food, "Give me a plate of those red shrimp?"

“Hmm! Didn’t we say we’d switch platforms?” Yang Yajing pointed to the magazine in front of her. “Youth Digest is for book-loving homebodies, while Rayli is the top choice for fashionistas.”

“I’ve read Rayli magazine too. Many people in our dance class buy it and often bring it with them.” Yu Ning is quite familiar with this magazine.

"So, what you need now is to put together your resume and find a way to sign a contract with Rayli magazine." That's Yang Yajing's way of making money.

"Signing with Rayli magazine? Does that mean going to Beijing?"

"What, are you scared of going on a long trip?"

"It's not that I'm afraid, it's that I'm busy studying, where would I find the time to travel to the capital?"

"Isn't winter break coming up soon? If you submit your application now, you can schedule an interview after the break. It's not difficult at all."

"What if they don't want my brand?" Yu Ning wasn't very confident.

"My dear sister, you're destined to be a big star! How can you give up on these little difficulties?"

"But...would you help me think of something? And would you come with me?"

"Deal!" When Yang Yajing said those two words, the light in her eyes made Yu Ning feel as if she had been tricked, which gave her the creeps.

Although she didn't know what kind of sinister scheme Yang Yajing was up to that would make even the King of Hell tremble, Yu Ning decided to give it a try, following Yang Yajing's advice.

Soon, Yu Ning welcomed 1998 and also received Yang Yajing's proposal.

But this proposal is so wildly imaginative! Is it borrowing Yu Ning's future?
