Chapter 200: A Passerby in a 1990s Housewife's Rebirth Novel (9)
I still don't have the female lead's contact information, but I have to go and see for myself, no matter if it's true or not. If it's not for this sale, then it's not a wasted trip. I can buy a car and bring it back. I called and booked a plane ticket and started packing.
Then she asked her best friend to help feed the dog every day. The cats were still nursing and probably wouldn't be ready for another month or so. However, Jiang Yue had already gone to see them and they were quite cute. Just like people, cats aren't necessarily as cute when they grow up, but by then she should have gotten used to them.
After settling things over and packing her luggage, Jiang Yue set off. Upon arriving in Guangzhou, she first went to the law firm to book a hotel. Then she inquired about the buyer and confirmed that it was the same as in the original story. Jiang Yue then declined the suggestion to go first and decided to go with the female lead to avoid trouble.
After waiting for two days, the female lead and the lawyer finally arrived. Jiang Yue glanced at the female lead and noticed that she looked much more radiant than when she first met her. Her overall demeanor had also changed, and she no longer had that somewhat lifeless feeling. Moreover, at this point in time, she should have married her childhood sweetheart. Jiang Yue remembered that she became pregnant with twins the following year.
Zhou Zihan felt a little uncomfortable when she saw Jiang Yue looking at her. Fortunately, Jiang Yue quickly recovered and invited the two of them into the hotel. They went to the lobby and ordered a pot of tea. During this time, Attorney Zhang brought up the important matter: "Just a few days ago, the Li family contacted me, hoping to reach you through me to discuss the land transfer. That's why I called you."
Jiang Yue could tell that Attorney Zhang was a little excited. Zhou Zihan, who was next to her, asked, "How much did they offer? Did they say what they wanted to do with that land?"
"They didn't say anything specific, just that they would talk about it after they contacted you. As for what they were going to do with the land, I heard that the Li family bought 10,000 acres of land there a few years ago and were going to do some kind of land reclamation project. Now it may have been re-planned and they have bought some more land. Your piece of land is probably just inside their planning area."
After Attorney Zhang finished speaking, the female lead and Jiang Yue remained silent. After a moment of contemplation, Attorney Zhang advised, "I suggest that if the two ladies don't have any powerful connections, or if they don't absolutely need this land, they should sell it. There's no need to offend the Li family for a piece of land. They can make some money and buy another piece of land elsewhere."
"From what you're saying, the Li family is very unscrupulous?"
"Hehe, you're telling me, which of those people in the real estate business these days is completely clean?"
Jiang Yue and the female lead bought the land to make money. The female lead was hoping to find a bargain, while Jiang Yue was even more eager to copy someone else's strategy. So, once the money was paid, the land transfer contract could be signed immediately. After conveying this to Attorney Zhang, he breathed a sigh of relief. He was worried that they might encounter someone who would fight tooth and nail, in which case he would have to say goodbye. He couldn't take the job; his small frame couldn't handle it.
“Attorney Zhang, we will not be involved for now. We entrust you to help us negotiate the price with the Li family. We also hope that you can keep our whereabouts and contact information confidential and not disclose them to others.”
"Don't worry, Ms. Zhou, I will definitely do as you ask."
After speaking, Attorney Zhang and the female lead looked at Jiang Yue, who nodded and said, "Let's listen to her."
Although Li Shi was not qualified to make Jiang Yue fear, it would be best to get things done smoothly without any need for a bloody fight.
"So what is your target price?"
"There's no set price; the higher the better..."
......
After leaving the law firm, Attorney Zhang went off to work. Jiang Yue accompanied Zhou Zihan to book a room, and then they strolled around the area. Girls' friendships develop quickly; after having a meal, the two became sisters. Although their friendship was still a bit superficial at the moment, it would gradually improve over time. In the following days, Jiang Yue asked Attorney Zhang where she could buy a car, while the female lead went to the wholesale market to select a model, working hard for her career.
After looking around, there were some nice cars, but most of them were for exhibition and not for sale. Jiang Yue gave up on buying a car. She decided to send the documents next time, and if that didn't work, she could add some personal items. Two days later, Lawyer Zhang called, and the three of them sat in the hotel lobby again.
“They initially offered 600,000, and I listened to you and didn’t budge. It wasn’t until they raised the price three times to 800,000 that I said I wanted to ask you.”
"This isn't their bottom price yet, let's wait and see."
Two days later, Attorney Zhang contacted Jiang Yue and Zhou Zihan again, this time by phone: "We've raised the price to one million, that should be about right, right?"
"No, let's take it slow and see... no rush."
As in some novel plots, the Li family's land acquisition encountered setbacks, which were discovered by their competitors. The young master of the competitor's company, who had a long-standing feud with the Li family's young master, began sabotaging the deal, directly asking for two million through lawyer Zhang. This information also reached the Li family, and ultimately, the land belonging to the female lead was acquired by the young master for over three million. (The one million mentioned in the first chapter was actually one million; it wasn't clearly stated. The price after the power struggle was three million, which was later revised.)
This price is clearly the price after the fight, normally it would be a little over a million, so it's three times the original price. However, both sides in the dispute wanted to save face, so they let the female lead get a bargain. Jiang Yue's land is more than three times the size of the female lead's land. If it were also overpriced, it would cost ten million, which is definitely impossible. So they put it aside for now and decided to let Jiang Yue have some time to cool off.
Before leaving, Li's agent said to Jiang Yue, "Ms. Jiang, we are willing to offer three million to buy your land. If you are willing to sell, we can sign the contract now."
After saying that, he gave Sun Shao a provocative look. Sun Shao wasn't that stupid and definitely wouldn't fall for his trick. Otherwise, he would lose money even if he bought it for ten million. Seeing that Sun Shao didn't speak, the Li family's people arrogantly handed a contract to Jiang Yue, as if they were doing her a favor. Jiang Yue picked up the contract, looked at it, smiled, and said, "Forget it. Japan's Takashi Corporation offered five million. I'm not satisfied with your price. I've already decided to sell it to them."
Jiang Yue's words were pure nonsense. She had indeed made contact, but the price was only three million. Although Jiang Yue did not intend to sell to them, anyone could argue. As soon as Jiang Yue said this, Sun Shao and the Li family were disgusted. They knew that Gaozhu Company had always been at odds with their two families. If the Japanese bought it, they would lose face outside Guangzhou.
Jiang Yue, who had been about to leave, stopped and took a sip of tea. Sun Shaoren laughed in exasperation: "You spend your days hunting geese, only to have them peck your eyes out."
He had already investigated Jiang Yue and Zhou Zihan, thinking that they were both ordinary people and easy to handle, but he didn't expect them to be more and more difficult to deal with.
