Hearing that it was just a bungalow in the suburbs,
After a brief moment of surprise, Su Jiajia suddenly burst into laughter, exclaiming that Zhou Chen was being foolish, abandoning the option of buying an apartment in the city to buy a useless bungalow, which was a complete waste of money.
Although Sun Wanying didn't laugh along, she secretly thought that Zhou Chen's decision to spend money on a bungalow was not a wise one.
Is it for investment purposes?
A thought flashed through Sun Wanying's mind: investing in real estate is not something that can be done in a year or two; the risks are considerable. If you bet right, you can make a fortune; if you bet wrong, all your money will be wasted.
Given her father's extensive network of connections, she hadn't heard a single word about it. Where did Zhou Chen get her confidence from?
However, considering that Zhou Chen might only buy one or two sets, she didn't think it was a big deal.
Bungalows aren't expensive, costing at most tens of thousands of yuan. With Zhou Chen's net worth of two million, buying a few and keeping them wouldn't have any impact on his life.
Little did Sun Wanying know that Zhou Chen wasn't just buying a few units, but rather investing almost all of his funds into them.
“Zhou Chen, you are good at studying and athletics, but it is too naive to think that investing is easy and will make you rich overnight. Let me tell you, don’t think about making your money back within ten years. If you are lucky, you may make a small profit and receive compensation for demolition after ten years, but that is only on the premise that you are lucky.”
Su Jiajia scoffed, thinking Zhou Chen was overconfident.
She acknowledged that Zhou Chen had some merits and had helped Sun Wanying's father a great deal, but that might have been a coincidence or luck. It didn't mean that Zhou Chen would continue to be incredibly lucky after investing in bungalows. Whose luck can last forever?
Zhou Chen simply smiled faintly at Su Jiajia's bad behavior and offered no explanation.
Xu Dalong and Li Kaile felt uncomfortable listening to this. Although they didn't know why Zhou Chen spent so much money to buy a bunch of bungalows, they believed that Zhou Chen must have a reason for doing so.
Actually, they really wanted to refute Zhou Chen's statement, but they didn't know why.
As witnesses who saw Zhou Chen purchase a large number of bungalows, the two were utterly shocked when they saw Zhou Chen transfer so much money, amounting to millions, in one go.
With over a million yuan, you can't find many people as wealthy as those in Fanjia County.
Zhou Chen not only had money, but he used it all to buy a bungalow.
Within a single day, the two were truly astonished by Zhou Chen's extravagant gesture, and their hearts were filled with doubt and curiosity.
Why is Zhou Chen so rich?
Where did the money come from?
etc.
"Attorney Su, how about we make a bet?"
Faced with the self-righteous Su Jiajia, Zhou Chen suddenly spoke up.
"A bet? What kind of bet? How do you bet?"
Su Jiajia raised an eyebrow and couldn't help but ask.
Zhou Chen laughed and said, "Let's bet on whether the bungalow I bought can quickly recoup its cost. You said it would take at least ten years, and I don't think I'll need it. I'll bet on one year. Lawyer Su, would you be willing to bet with me once?"
"A year?" Su Jiajia paused for a moment, then burst into laughter again, completely disregarding her image, and readily agreed, "Okay, let's bet. Do you think I'm afraid of you? You think you can make back your investment in the bungalow within a year? Impossible, absolutely impossible."
She had heard the senior staff and leaders in the firm discuss this issue. The development of Fengcheng City would not see much change for at least ten years. Urbanization processes abroad are measured in decades. If Zhou Chen dared to propose a one-year plan, he would undoubtedly lose.
“Attorney Su lost. From now on, you’ll work for me.”
Zhou Chen revealed his bet.
Su Jiajia snorted, expressing her dissatisfaction with the bet. "You have quite the ambition, wanting to be my boss. If I disagree, you'll definitely think I'm scared and laugh at me, right? But I won't give you the chance to laugh. I'll bet with you."
"But if you lose, let me think, what should I ask you to do?" As she spoke, Su Jiajia pondered for a moment, then suddenly revealed a sly smile and said, "If I win, every time you see Wanying and me from now on, you have to bow and call us Sister Su and Sister Sun."
Just imagining that scene must be very interesting.
Sun Wanying was slightly taken aback, not expecting that she had also participated in the betting.
"Sure, no problem."
Faced with Su Jiajia's quirky sense of humor, Zhou Chen didn't hesitate and readily agreed. After all, he knew the future trend and was certain to win the bet, so why would he disagree?
Bet with him,
Sorry, I, Zhou Chen, have never lost.
After dinner, Su Jiajia said goodbye to Sun Wanying. Before leaving, Su Jiajia reiterated that Zhou Chen was destined to lose and told him to wait a year later to bow to them and call them "sisters".
“Attorney Su, believe me, it might not be more than a year before you have to be my employee and work for me. At that time, Attorney Su, don’t try to renege on your promise.”
Zhou Chen said calmly, "If I didn't want to reveal my accurate prediction too much and scare others, I wouldn't have said a year, but a month."
If he remembered correctly, the news of the demolition would be released soon, and a large number of people would come to buy bungalows at high prices and receive demolition compensation.
Unfortunately, in this life, he intercepted it!
The remaining homeowners either didn't want to sell or were taking a wait-and-see approach. Upon hearing rumors, they held on even tighter, refusing to sell no matter how much money was offered.
"Since I, Su Jiajia, dared to bet with you, I can afford to lose. Whoever goes back on their word is a coward. I was just thinking of quitting my job and becoming your boss. Let's see if you still have that kind of luck."
"However, I think you're going to miscalculate this time."
Su Jiajia raised her fair neck, as proud as a swan, equally unwilling to be outdone, her face radiating a triumphant air of certain victory.
Zhou Chen said "We'll see" and then got into the car.
As the group embarked on their return journey...
Fanjia County,
Zhao Kun received an order from Brother Hu to go to a suburb of Fengcheng City to buy a bungalow.
This made Zhao Kun both excited and thrilled.
The fact that Brother Hu entrusted him with this task shows that he values him highly. As long as he handles the matter well, he will definitely be entrusted with more important responsibilities when he returns, and may even become Brother Hu's right-hand man. At that time, he will rise rapidly in rank and career.
"Brother Kun, that's great! You must not let Brother Hu down and you must seize this opportunity."
"Moreover, it's just buying a house, and Brother Hu is paying for it, so it's basically no problem."
When Zhao Kun returned home and shared the news with Zhou Ling, Zhou Ling was even happier than Zhao Kun, feeling that wonderful days were beckoning to her.
Zhao Kun thought so too. What difficulty could there be in buying a house? It was just a matter of how much money to spend.
You should know that Brother Hu gave him over a million this time.
He had never seen so much money in his life. Although the money wasn't his or his responsibility, he had the power to decide what to do with it. He could experience the feeling of spending money like water and throwing it away.
At least, most people will never have such an opportunity in their lifetime.
But now, he, Zhao Kun, has it.
