"Really? Today's housing prices are ridiculous. If we really take over now, we will be at a great disadvantage."
Lu Chen looked at his central bank governor with some disappointment and said, "Are you stupid? I've already said that we've agreed in theory, but some details still need to be discussed with the court. Why are you just leaving them alone like this?"
"Remember, don't leave any paperwork behind, and at the same time, you must act like you have plenty of money. Even if it's ten or twenty times the price, let alone five times, we have the support of the Great Qi court, so we can take it down in a matter of minutes."
"Guess what they'll do after seeing you behave like this?"
Zhao Gongming said in a panic, "It will definitely continue to be sold, and the price of the house will continue to rise!"
Lu Chen clapped his hands and laughed, "Yes, this market will continue to grow, prices will continue to rise, and real estate will become more concentrated in the hands of certain people."
"Then the question arises. These people must have limited money. What would they do if they ran out of money? Would they have to borrow money from somewhere?"
"Coincidentally, a loan company has just been established in Quanzhou. This company is happy to lend money to these people, allowing them to continue to drive up housing prices."
Zhao Gongming's face became increasingly terrified. He couldn't help but speak, "Master Imperial Master, I have two questions. The first is that we must invest money in this company, otherwise those businessmen won't follow."
"Secondly, you'll push up housing prices even higher. In the end, we'll be the ones who suffer, unless we ultimately decide not to build Quanzhou City. But if that happens, the company will definitely collapse, the people won't get their money back, and everyone in Quanzhou will be extremely hostile to us. If you're not careful, you might even force Quanzhou City to revolt!"
Lu Chen looked at Zhao Gongming with admiration and said, "Not bad, Old Zhao, you've grown a lot."
Zhao Gongming asked anxiously, "Since you, Master Imperial Master, know the consequences of doing this, why do you do it?"
"The people of Quanzhou City hate us because they think we're the cause of the collapse. But if it wasn't us, wouldn't it be easier to find a new point of hatred for them? You said it too, and we invested money, so we're victims too!"
Lu Chen turned to look at Mou Ping and asked, "Any news from Huang Aniu? Did he succeed in infiltrating the enemy?"
