Chapter 117 Confirming the Investment
An Songyu pretended not to see the others' reactions and said very seriously:
"Today I went to see the shops, and there was one of them that I really liked."
"I'd like to see if I can buy it."
"I spoke with the landlord today, but he hasn't replied yet."
“If he’s willing to sell, I’m prepared to buy it, then demolish it and rebuild it.”
Hearing An Songyu say this, the whole family became interested.
They didn't have any particular thoughts about buying the house, demolishing it, and rebuilding it.
After all, their family was already quite familiar with this kind of thing.
The family was mainly interested in the house's location and price.
Besides that, they also wanted to know.
What exactly is An Songyu's reason for continuing to buy houses?
Is the house the main attraction?
Or are they interested in rebuilding because of the location?
Or is it really just for the future plans of this pastry shop?
Faced with her family's persistent questions, An Songyu carefully described the location of the house.
After careful consideration, the five of them all had some recollection of that area.
It's just a bit far from their residential compound.
I can't think of too many details right now.
However, no matter how hard the five of them thought, they couldn't figure out what was so special about that area.
After hearing what they said, An Songyu couldn't help but shrug.
There was nothing special about it to begin with.
"I just think that location should be pretty good after reconstruction."
"It's just that it's not bad after the reconstruction?" An Songxiang asked again, somewhat disappointed.
An Songyu smiled and retorted, "What else?"
In fact, given current housing prices, almost any self-built house that you buy and rebuild can be a worthwhile investment.
Based on An Songyu's memory only.
Most old urban areas are unlikely to be subject to demolition.
So even twenty years into the future, as she knows it.
The old city will only decline further as the city expands and the new districts prosper.
However, the number of residents in the old city has never decreased.
So, as long as the location is suitable, people like them simply buy the property and build it to the maximum height limit.
Even within the next twenty years that she knows of, it's a sure thing that she'll make a profit.
This is an investment method that is almost a one-time investment solution.
An Songyu genuinely thought it was exceptionally good.
The rest of the An family were somewhat disappointed, but An Jianping looked at his daughter with a thoughtful expression.
However, no one objected to An Songyu's investment plan, whether it was opening a dessert shop or buying a house to rebuild.
Bi Lizhu even took the initiative to say to the group:
"Although I have said before that our family cannot spend money recklessly just because we have the demolition compensation."
"Even with large investments, you have to consult your family members."
"However, in the future, such small investments will not need to be made in such a big way."
"For convenience... how about we decide whether to hold a meeting in the future based on the actual situation?"
Bi Lizhu looked at the group of people for their opinion.
The main problem is that she hasn't figured out what kind of situation would be suitable for holding another meeting.
An Jianping looked at his second daughter with a hint of realization.
This child is just as her mother said, so cunning.
An Songyu had no idea what An Jianping was thinking.
As soon as the family dispersed, she quickly called Yu Yingying.
According to the agreement among the four, An Songyu would invest but not participate in actual management.
As the link between the two parties, Yu Yingying will be the future financial manager of their small dessert shop.
The two arranged a meeting time for the next day directly over the phone.
The next day was another weekend, and An Jianping was extending his weekend this week.
After breakfast, he drove his newly bought car and took An Songyu there.
On the way, An Jianping asked, "Xiaoyu, your aunt asked you when you plan to start driving lessons?"
"It seems like the exam is coming up soon!"
An Songyu was slightly taken aback. In the midst of a busy week, she had completely forgotten about this matter.
"Remember to give her a call!" An Jianping knew about his daughter's situation, and although he felt helpless, he still carefully reminded her.
However, thinking about what happened last night, An Jianping suddenly asked again:
"Xiaoyu, the second demolition compensation payment has been in your account for quite some time now. Do you have any thoughts on it?"
An Songyu turned to look at An Jianping.
Since the demolition of Jiangcun, Bi Lizhu has asked her this question from time to time.
This is the first time An Jianping has brought it up separately like this.
As if sensing his daughter's gaze, An Jianping smiled and said:
"Xiaoyu, that investment plan you wrote yesterday must have been intentional!"
An Songyu shrugged and asked, half-jokingly and half-seriously:
"Dad, why would you think that?"
An Jianping glanced at his daughter with a smile, but didn't pursue the answer to the question.
Instead, they returned to the original topic:
"Xiaoyu, putting aside the investment, what are your thoughts on receiving such a large sum of money from the demolition compensation?"
"Thoughts?" An Songyu looked ahead upon hearing this.
She actually had a lot to say.
But I also know that there are many things I cannot say.
After thinking for a while, she said, somewhat to herself:
"Perhaps I want it to be my confidence, my support!"
An Jianping took advantage of the traffic light to look at his daughter with a puzzled expression.
He always felt that An Songyu was like that at this moment.
What I saw did not seem to be a vibrant young girl.
Rather, he is a middle-aged man who, at his age, understands the importance of taking things one step at a time.
They may not have many expectations, nor will they be too reckless.
However, they will steadily advance while preserving their wealth.
Originally, this should have been something to be thankful for.
After all, people like them get rich quick by relying on windfall gains.
They may not have the ability to make good use of this wealth.
But at the very least, one must have the conviction to protect one's wealth.
Otherwise, in the end, it will all be for naught, like trying to draw water with a bamboo basket.
But for some reason, An Jianping felt a little bitter.
He remained silent for a while before saying, "Xiaoyu, has Dad said anything?"
"Now that you have this money in your hands, you can use it with confidence."
"As long as it's not going in a bad direction."
"As long as you're not picking up bad habits."
"Dad will support you!"
So if you have any ideas, feel free to tell them!
An Jianping ultimately didn't say that last sentence.
It wasn't that he didn't want to give An Songyu this encouragement.
Rather, he had a vague feeling that it was since his daughter returned from her university internship.
It seems that they are not so dependent on their parents.
Similarly, they became more opinionated.
Of course, it's not that easy to open your heart to them!
