"And it's a super unfinished building that's been abandoned for more than two years!"
Even the apartments inside are basically all sold out!
The developer who absconded had even mortgaged the property several times, incurring substantial loan debts.
For over two years, no developer has dared to take over the project!
There is virtually no possibility of making a profit!
This is absolutely a massive financial disaster in the real estate industry!
Mu Xia was completely dumbfounded and hurriedly said...
As a super secretary who earns a multi-million dollar annual salary, she has to pay attention to any news in Shanghai's business world as soon as possible.
Especially this kind of major news.
These unfinished buildings are so badly damaged that it's impossible for any developer to take them over.
It's safe to say this is a dead end!
There are even rumors that this property development will be auctioned off by the court.
She really couldn't understand why Lu Yiming suddenly wanted to buy a building again.
Or are they scrambling to take over unfinished buildings?
Hearing Mu Xia's words, Lu Yiming became even more determined to buy the unfinished building.
Holy crap!
If I don't buy it, I'll be struck by lightning!
Where else can you find such a great opportunity to lose money?
"I think that location is pretty good. Maybe it'll appreciate in value sooner or later? It definitely has commercial value," Lu Yiming said, glancing down at his watch.
"It's still early, why don't we go take a look together?"
"Okay, then I'll go with the chairman to take a look."
Although she said that, Mu Xia was already thinking about how to persuade Lu Yiming to give up the idea.
Don't be fooled by the low auction prices of these unfinished buildings; the debt disputes behind them can be a real headache!
Those creditors were so eager to tear the person who took over the debt apart that they wouldn't stop until they got all the money they had borrowed back!
...
Half an hour later.
Lu Yiming and his group arrived at the foot of the unfinished building.
Although it's an unfinished building, the main gate and everything else are already built; all that's missing are a few security guards to watch over it.
You can even see a large red banner hanging on the gate:
Unscrupulous developer! Give me back my hard-earned money!
"That's strange. Isn't this an unfinished building? Why are the lights still on?" Lu Yiming asked in confusion.
"It must have been the homeowner who bought the house and secretly moved in," Mu Xia explained.
"Secretly?" Lu Yiming asked, bewildered.
"Isn't this the house they bought with their own money? How did they end up secretly moving in?"
“If the houses haven’t been handed over yet, the developer won’t allow these owners to move in. They’ll even send people to drive them away, so they can only move in secretly,” Mu Xia explained.
"Sigh, we also have people here who bought unfinished buildings. It's really tragic. They can't live in the houses, but they still have to keep paying the mortgage every month. It's unbearable."
"Yes, a house drained the savings of three generations, and then it was abandoned. Millions just evaporated on the spot. Who wouldn't be devastated in that situation!"
"These developers should all be shot! They pay the money but don't deliver the houses and they still think they're in the right! Are we ordinary people just supposed to be scammed?! So many news outlets, yet not a single one stands up for us ordinary people!"
...
Countless netizens in the live stream expressed their indignation.
“Let’s go take a look,” said the bold Lu Yiming.
Although Mu Xia was a little scared, she still chose to follow Lu Yiming upstairs.
You should know that this is an unfinished building, without water or electricity.
It was basically pitch black inside.
Especially since it's so late at night.
It instills an indescribable sense of panic.
I'm afraid some ghost might suddenly appear.
But Lu Yiming wasn't afraid of any of that.
He was a staunch materialist.
He believed that Namo Gatlin Bodhisattva would annihilate all demons and monsters.
All fear stems from insufficient firepower.
Lu Yiming led Mu Xia upstairs through the fire escape.
To keep Mu Xia from being scared, Lu Yiming kept talking to her.
"Hey, Mu Xia, do you have a house in Shanghai?"
"Of course not, houses in Shanghai are too expensive, we working-class people can't afford them."
"Oh, so you've always been renting?"
"Yes, I rented a house with a few of my best girlfriends from work. It was a great deal, and we're always bickering and joking around, just like in the TV show 'iPartment.' We're very close."
...
While they were joking around, Lu Yiming and his group arrived at the lit-up floor.
As soon as they emerged from the fire escape, a young man shone a flashlight into Lu Yiming and his companions' eyes, roaring angrily:
"Stop harassing us! I'm telling you! We're not leaving here!"
This is the house we bought! I'm not leaving, even if it kills me! I'd rather die here!!!
Goodness.
His hysterical state immediately frightened Lu Yiming and the others.
Fortunately, Lu Yiming realized what was happening, covered his eyes with his hands, and explained:
"Brother, don't get agitated. We're homeowners too. We just came in to take a look. Don't rush us. We weren't sent by the developer."
"real?"
"I'd be a dog if I lied to you."
"Woof woof woof!" Lu Yiming thought to himself.
"I'm sorry, I misunderstood you. I thought you were sent by the developer to kick us out." The young man put down his flashlight and scratched his head sheepishly.
Only then did Lu Yiming and the others get a clear look at what the other person looked like.
He was wearing a white shirt, white sneakers, and glasses, looking quite refined, but his hair was a bit messy—a typical programmer image.
