After leaving Jixiang Community, Lin Qiao still felt like she was in a dream. Jiang Ning really acted on her word, treating the purchase of the dilapidated house as a serious matter.
That's probably why she's able to make so much money.
While others only see immediate benefits, she sees long-term benefits several years from now.
Moreover, she has the courage to do it.
Since she was going to do it, Jiang Ning decided to put up 500,000 yuan to do it.
She also encouraged Lin Qiao to join in.
"This community has several thousand households. Just consider it an investment. Trust me."
Lin Qiao was undecided and said she would go back and discuss it with Luo Guangming.
When everyone gathered for dinner that evening, she acted like a salesperson, promoting the houses there.
Yang Lu had always thought that Jiang Ning had the best vision, so she immediately expressed her opinion and said that she wanted to work for her.
"Since I don't have anything else to do right now, I'll take charge of collecting information about the houses," she volunteered.
Song Jia and Huo Xiao looked at each other and ultimately chose to give up. They were already making a lot of money, but they were still looking for stability.
Once you own the house, who knows when the government might expropriate it?
If you're going to keep the money for ten years or more, you might as well just put it in the bank!
Finally, the three sisters, Jiang Ning, Lin Qiao, and Yang Lu, reached an agreement that whenever they had time, they would go to Jixiang Community to discuss the house situation with Aunt Pang.
A week later, Jiang Ning successfully signed contracts for more than a dozen houses.
Yang Lu meticulously recorded the address, size, and property certificate of each house in her notebook.
Jiang Ning paid more than 10,000 yuan for the house.
She signed contracts with all these homeowners and even had Aunt Pang witness the process, obtaining new property ownership certificates.
Aunt Pang also received a little over a hundred yuan as a reward for her hard work.
She hadn't expected Jiang Ning to be so generous, and she became even more enthusiastic, collecting information about selling houses everywhere.
Soon, news of Jiang Ning buying a house reached Yao Zheng's ears.
Since the incident that resulted in a fatal fall, Yao Zheng's situation at work has become very delicate.
He was the one who made the decision back then, saying that there was no problem with the houses in Jixiang Community, but the incident happened in less than two months.
Although earthquakes are natural disasters, why are other places unaffected?
He also began to pay special attention to the Jixiang residential area.
I almost died laughing when I heard that Jiang Ning bought a house to use as a dormitory at this time.
It seems there's never a shortage of suckers, no matter the time!
He even called Aunt Pang to encourage everyone to sell their houses as soon as possible to avoid being stuck with them.
According to his understanding, the government has no plans to use those houses for at least the next ten years.
Over the next few weeks, Jiang Ning admired Aunt Pang for how she had suddenly acquired so many more houses.
Xu Jie had been renting a place to stay these days, and overheard his neighbors saying that they had sold their house.
He then considered whether he should also sell his house.
He works in the renovation business. His house was burned to a pulp; to fix it properly would cost at least several hundred yuan.
Wouldn't it be better to just buy a house outside with that money?
He used the money he swindled from Xue Mei to buy a house in another neighborhood.
That residential area is a family compound for cadres. It's a relatively new community in the whole of Beijing, and it even has supporting sports facilities.
The residents of this community are mostly minor leaders who wield some power.
He saw the resources in this community and spent 1,500 yuan to buy a 60-square-meter apartment from someone else.
Compared to where they lived before, their current place seems particularly spacious.
"Xiao Jie, I heard from Aunt Pang that everyone is selling their houses now. You should hurry up and sell them while you can," Xu's mother said to her son.
Xu Jie replied, "I understand. With our house so badly damaged, I wonder how much it'll fetch?"
"Let's sell as many as we can; it's better than leaving them lying around," said Mrs. Xu, her tone tinged with helplessness.
Xu Jie quickly entrusted the house to Aunt Pang.
A few days later, Aunt Pang told him to come and sign the contract.
Jiang Ning agreed to the five hundred yuan he asked for.
Jiang Ning knew it belonged to Xu Jie as soon as she saw the homeowner's name.
However, in her eyes, it doesn't matter whether the house is good or bad; she doesn't plan to live in it after buying it.
Unexpectedly, Xu Jie changed his mind after meeting Jiang Ning.
“Auntie Pang, I don’t want to sell the house to her! If she insists on buying it, then she can pay a thousand dollars.”
Jiang Ning was overjoyed and said to Aunt Pang:
“Auntie Pang, I was planning to sign the contract because the house was cheap, but it turns out his house was on fire. I can’t pay the five hundred yuan, I can only pay two hundred and fifty.”
Xu Jie was angry, clutching his chest and panting heavily.
"The house is mine, I'd rather let it rot than sell it to you!"
Jiang Ning didn't care; he wasn't worried about having only one seller.
People received news that house prices were falling, and they began to panic and sell their properties.
Some people who own houses elsewhere are eager to sell them as soon as possible.
Out of kindness, Aunt Pang suggested that he should sell the house, otherwise he would lose his idiot after a while.
Xu Jie insisted on not selling, but when his mother came to check on the situation and heard that he wasn't going to sell, she almost beat him to death with the sole of her shoe.
She almost knelt down in front of Jiang Ning, begging him to pay a little more money to buy it.
"Other families can give more, but your family can't. You can only give 250. Take it or leave it."
Finally, Xu's mother relented, saying, "Fine, fine," and immediately took out the property certificate.
Jiang Ning signed the contract with them.
Xu Jie thought she was being particularly pretentious, asking why she would sign a contract when she was paying money and handing over the house at the same time.
The contract even stated that once the house transaction was completed, no matter what happened afterward, there would be no way to back out.
How could he possibly go back on his word? That dilapidated house might collapse any day now.
Don't come looking for trouble with him after he falls.
Therefore, he signed the contract very quickly.
He took the money and left, inwardly mocking Jiang Ning for taking on this mess, saying she'd be in for a world of hurt sooner or later.
Xu Jie wasn't the only one who mocked her; Li Jiabao, upon hearing the news, also ridiculed her for having long hair but short wits.
At Lin Qiao's urging, Meng Jiao also used her savings to buy several houses to hoard. When Li Jiabao found out, he stopped her, saying:
"Don't be fooled by Jiang Ning. What she's doing is practically gambling. There won't be any major developments on that land for the next ten years."
Meng Jiao was too lazy to pay him any attention.
“Li Jiabao, we’re already divorced. What I do with my money is none of your business. If I don’t trust Jiang Ning, why should I trust you?”
Don't think I don't know. You're hopeless about promotion now, so you're trying to curry favor with me. From now on, stay away from our house.
Just when everyone was pessimistic about Jiang Ning and her friends' actions, they persisted in buying a house for three years.
