"Fifty!" The young man almost bit his tongue as he opened his mouth.
“No…” Jian Yu turned his palm over, “It’s one million.”
"One hundred?" The young man's eyes widened, his face showing a look of utter disbelief.
Jian Yu nodded slightly and said in a low voice, "I know this place will be developed in two months. I don't know where you got the information and came to buy land in advance. It seems that you don't want too many people to know about this."
"Ah!" The young man actually bit his tongue this time. "You..."
After looking Jian Yu up and down several times, the young man turned around and ran back, covering his mouth with his hand and whispering in the middle-aged man's ear.
A hint of surprise flashed across the middle-aged man's relaxed expression. He looked up and stared intently at Jian Yu.
After a while, he had his assistant bring Jian Yu a business card.
"This is my phone number. You can contact me if you need anything. We have to go now." The assistant was very polite and no longer dared to underestimate the girl in front of her.
Hearing that the three were leaving now, Uncle Zhang felt a little regretful. After the three had driven away, he said, "Did they think the price was too high?"
Jian Yu nodded, "Yes!"
Uncle Zhang shook his head and sighed. Everyone was gone, so it was best not to say anything in front of Jian Yu.
Jian Yu pointed to a package under the tree, "Uncle Zhang, those are specialties from City A. I brought some for you. Take them back and have Aunt Zhang try them. Thank you for today. I'll head back now while it's still early."
Uncle Zhang had noticed the large bag long ago and thought it was Jian Yu's luggage, but he didn't expect it to be a local specialty that Jian Yu had brought for him.
"We don't need any local specialties, you can take them back," Uncle Zhang waved his hand repeatedly.
“Those things are so heavy. I struggled to carry them before. If I bring them back again, I estimate I’ll need to lie down for two days.”
Jian Yu waved to Uncle Zhang, "Goodbye, Uncle Zhang, I'm going back now."
Follow the tire tracks to find the three people who left.
After walking a short distance, Jian Yu dialed the number on the business card.
The other party said they would wait for her at the foot of the mountain.
Jian Yu had just recovered from a serious illness and had traveled such a long distance. When he arrived at the agreed meeting place, he was so exhausted that his vision blurred.
Upon seeing Jian Yu, the young man rushed over, asking, "How did you find out about the development plan?"
"Don't worry about how I know. You can rest assured that I won't go around spreading rumors and affect your plans."
The other party breathed a sigh of relief, "Actually, the development plan has been around for a long time, and there have been rumors circulating for a while. It's just that after so many rumors, no one believed them anymore."
"What specific time?"
"About a month."
Once the authenticity was confirmed, they acted immediately.
"I can sell it, as long as you give me the price I want."
The other party chuckled, "You've increased the price twentyfold, that's too much. With that price, we could buy a lot of land."
Jian Yu was not intimidated by his words at all, "I'm afraid you won't be able to buy it."
"..." The three exchanged glances secretly.
Jian Yu smiled and said, "According to the plan, the houses of the original local residents will be preserved on their original sites during development. The population here is already small, and there are actually very few vacant houses that are willing to sell. The only things you can buy are some vacant plots around here. But right now, only the vacant plots that are registered can be bought and sold. The unregistered plots will all be auctioned off later after statistics are compiled, and they will be worth a fortune then. So it is most appropriate to buy a few registered plots now. However, the economy here is underdeveloped, and many families moved away in the early years, so a lot of land was abandoned. This has resulted in very few houses and lands being registered later, so there are not many that you can buy and sell now."
The three were surprised that Jian Yu knew so much; it seemed impossible to acquire her land at a low price.
"Have you thought this through? If you buy now, it only costs one million. Once the government releases the plan and the land price increases, even five million might not be enough to buy my land."
The three of them were fully aware of what Jian Yu was saying.
Based on the government's plans and recent preparations, the remaining land will likely find buyers even at higher prices in the future.
Natural hot spring sites, if used properly, can bring substantial benefits.
"Furthermore, there has been no public auction yet. Regardless of whether it is registered or not, the houses and land here cannot be bought or sold by non-locals at present."
The three of them were clearly unfamiliar with this place, and Jian Yu was very curious about how they planned to make their purchase.
"You're not locals, are you?"
The other person's expression stiffened. He glanced at his own people before explaining, "We have locals in our family."
Okay!
"Isn't there still a month left? Why are you in such a rush?"
"In the next couple of days, all the land here will be prohibited from being bought and sold privately until the policy is released and the land is auctioned off publicly."
"So how much land and houses did you choose?"
"Time is tight. We only found five vacant lots, and only four of them are registered as eligible to buy or sell. Including you, there are three other companies that have agreed to sell."
Jian Yu gave the young man who spoke a meaningful look.
The young man felt a little guilty under her gaze. "Why are you looking at me like that?"
"The people living here used to make a living by hunting, and very few farmed. Later, in response to the policy of protecting wild animals, hunting was banned, and many people moved away from here one after another due to livelihood constraints. Those who stayed had no choice but to try farming. So, many plots of land here, on the surface, belong to the villagers, but most of them were developed later and were not registered at all, which means you can't buy them at all. After looking around for so many days, I guess you've only found one plot that you can buy!"
Feeling embarrassed after his lie was exposed, the young man scratched his face and took a few steps back.
Let's leave it to Dad to handle!
"Your price is too high." The assistant, following the leader's signal, stepped forward with a stiff upper lip.
"Not high, because others have also received the news."
Jian Yu pulled up his call log. "Just before I entered the village, this call told me he wanted to buy my land. Maybe he's on his way here right now."
The assistant was at a loss and could only ask his boss, "President Zheng?"
The leader hesitated for only five seconds before approving, "One million, go and transfer the title now."
Jian Yu nodded, "Okay."
The four drove to the trading center and completed the transfer procedures on the spot.
Jian Yu counted the balance on the text message, and after confirming that it was correct, he prepared to leave.
As I approached the door, I vaguely heard someone talking to General Manager Zheng.
"Your transaction has come at the perfect time. We just received a notice that starting tomorrow, all land transfers in the vicinity will be suspended."
