"What?!?!" Mu Xia was so shocked that she dropped her phone on the ground with a "thud"!
"Chairman! You're not joking, are you???"
Even the viewers in the live stream were in an uproar!
"Holy crap! 500 yuan a month? Are you kidding me! Is this still Shanghai? This doesn't feel like Shanghai at all!"
"Damn it! My rent in this run-down town is a whopping 1,000 a month! How come it's so cheap in Shanghai?!"
"Damn it! Lu Yiming, are you doing charity here? At this rate, when will you ever break even?!"
"Wow! Brilliant! Absolutely brilliant! Chairman Lu, please send me the address quickly! I'll take it and head to your hotel to complete the takeover process! I'll pay 1,500 a month!"
"Upstairs, I don't think you'll get a turn. At such a cheap price, you can even get a single hotel room. In Shanghai, countless people would be scrambling to get one!"
"Yes, it's not even our turn."

“Yes, I think it makes perfect sense,” Lu Yiming said matter-of-factly.
In fact, these few hundred yuan were nothing to Lu Yiming.
He could even let others stay for free if he wanted, without spending a single penny.
Anyway, he came here with the intention of losing money.
But Lu Yiming is doing business, not charity!
There's a saying that goes something like that.
Human greed is insatiable; like a snake trying to swallow an elephant.
If he provides these workers with free accommodation and covers utilities.
Over time, the tenants will take it for granted.
They would think that it was only natural for Lu Yiming to be good to them.
If one day Lu Yiming goes bankrupt as he wishes and no longer wants these tenants to live there for free...
What do you think will happen then?
These tenants will immediately change their tune, cursing Lu Yiming as a bastard who promised to let them stay for free but has now gone back on his word!
Ultimately, the human heart is very complex.
Human nature has a warm side, but it also has a greedy side.
Lu Yiming can work for the benefit of others, but he must also protect himself and his employees from being harmed by worldly affairs.
"Chairman... are you... serious?" Mu Xia asked in disbelief.
Yesterday, Mu Xia felt that she had understood Lu Yiming's plan and thought she could keep up with Lu Yiming's thinking.
But looking at it today!
She was wrong!
And that's completely wrong!
The chairman's unconventional business thinking is simply beyond the comprehension of an ordinary person like her!
She simply couldn't see through what kind of game the chairman was playing this time!
"Of course I'm serious," Lu Yiming said with a confident smile.
"Well... Chairman... forgive me for speaking frankly... if we go by this price..."
Losing money is one aspect.
On the other hand, once we announce this price, the entire city of Shanghai will be in an uproar.
Thousands upon thousands of people will want to rent our houses!
Our hotel apartments simply cannot accommodate so many people!
At that time, many people who are well-off and can afford high rents will want to take advantage of the cheap rent!
After all, a hotel room for 500 yuan a month is such a great deal!
Many people would want to stay here just to save money!
By then, we simply won't have the time or the energy to identify each and every one of them who truly needs affordable housing!
Mu Xia is indeed Mu Xia; she has already thought about extremely far-reaching issues!
This is also an extremely difficult problem!
It has to be said that Mu Xia's words hit Lu Yiming's sore spot squarely!
Lu Yiming had never really thought about this question!
Lu Yiming can lose money!
But he couldn't let those greedy people steal the opportunities from the workers who needed affordable housing!
