"Get rich? Where can I get rich?"
This strange city left Ye Wei with only endless pain, and she never knew how to make a fortune.
Although there were doubts in his heart, he did not stop at all.
"I think the houses here are nice and I want to buy a few."
"Houses, houses are not cheap."
Ye Wei's eyes widened. The couple often told her that they ate our food, drank our drinks and lived in our expensive house, so they deserved to be ravaged by us.
So in Ye Wei's impression, houses are very expensive things.
"Not bad." One ginseng root can buy a small house.
"Sister, we don't live here, so why don't we just forget it?"
Ye Wei was reluctant to let her sister spend money, but Ye Jin had made up his mind.
She had already taken a liking to the pile of dilapidated houses on the east side of the town.
This place is definitely not wrong. There will be earth-shaking changes here next year.
Ye Jin brought everyone to the east side of the town. There were a row of earthen brick houses here, which looked dilapidated. Compared with other places, this place was obviously a rural area.
"Sister, this place doesn't look good."
Ye Wei pouted and said unsatisfactorily, "This place is even more dilapidated than the house she lives in now, and it looks shaky and ready to collapse at any time."
The key point is that there are hardly any families living here, and the few remaining residents are all elderly widows and widowers. The younger and more capable ones have long looked down upon this shabby place.
"This is the unpolished gem I'm looking for. If it were in a good location, I wouldn't have found it. It doesn't look very good now, but you'll know later."
Ye Jin smiled very confidently, and Ye Wei was also infected by her. She clenched her fists and said, "I will listen to my sister. Whatever my sister says is what I will do."
"Do you really want to buy a house here?" Gu Yan knew that this girl had a lot of ideas, but this was the north after all, far away from where they lived. If they just spent money here, they wouldn't know when they could get it back.
"Of course." The place that Ye Jin has his eyes on is currently very ordinary, but after a year, the mountain in the middle will be dug through, and the two small towns will be connected to form a big town. All the surrounding villages will move in together, and eventually it will become a huge prefecture-level city.
The row of houses that Ye Jin wants to buy will become the hub connecting the two towns. At that time, a five-story department store will rise from the ground, and schools and shops will be built around it. It can be said that the situation is changing every day.
She saw this information in the newspaper, and it hasn't happened yet, so she can still seize the opportunity.
They found the person in charge of this area. This place had long become a ruin. Most people had entrusted their houses to others. They would sell them if they could, or rent them out if they could. As long as they could get money, anything would be fine.
When the person in charge saw someone coming to his door, he was already grinning from ear to ear.
In order to hide his happiness, he pretended to be serious.
"Hello, Manager Lin, how many vacant houses do you have?"
"If the price is right, you can have as much as you want."
Manager Lin didn't put on airs. The main reason was that this place was too remote and it was not easy for people to come here, let alone buy a house.
If he continues to be hesitant and causes these houses to go unsold and eventually age and collapse, he will get nothing.
"How are you going to sell this house?"
Ye Jin pushed the door open and walked in. The house was very old and the door lock was rotten. He didn't need to use any force and could get in with just a light push.
The house is not big, only about 70 or 80 square meters, and is a very old-fashioned layout with 3 bedrooms and 1 living room. The living room is large and the rooms are small. It looks quite spacious on the surface, but it is actually not suitable for human habitation.
There was a thick layer of dust on the ground, a strong musty smell in the house, and spider webs everywhere on the beams. This house told everyone how long its history was and how many years ago its owner had abandoned it.
“The house is a bit old, but it can be lived in if it’s painted a little and the furniture is moved in.”
Manager Lin felt guilty when he said this. Before Ye Jin could say anything, Ye Wei couldn't help but speak.
"This is a shabby house with few neighbors around. It's very inconvenient whether I'm buying groceries or studying. I'm a little scared to stay here at night. Why don't we just give it up?"
Ye Wei's face turned pale as she began to back out, while Gu Yan's eagle-like sharp eyes were filled with disdain.
Although he didn't say anything, the aura he released still frightened Lin and made him tremble all over.
The price that was originally about to be offered was 300 yuan, but it was immediately changed to 250 yuan.
"How about 250 yuan per room? What do you think?"
Manager Lin had a flattering smile on his face, but Ye Jin still pursed her lips and said nothing.
"If I don't want any of the houses here, I don't want any of them. If I do want them, I want them all. Manager Lin, please give me a real price."
"All of them, all of them? What do you want so many houses for?"
"Don't worry about what I do. I just want to know if you want to sell it or not."
Ye Jin's expression remained calm, but he raised his voice, making him seem more imposing.
"Sell, why not sell!" Manager Lin's mind was racing, and finally he gritted his teeth, as if he had made a great decision.
"There are 100 houses here in total. If you want to buy them all, just give me 20,000 yuan in one lump sum. I only accept cash, not credit!"
The people in the town had long abandoned the houses here. The few residents who remained were worried that the houses would collapse after being uninhabited for a long time, so they came to take care of them occasionally.
Now this shabby house can actually be sold for 200 yuan. It is such a good deal that you would never find it even with a lantern. No one would refuse it.
"Can you make decisions for these people who are still living here?"
Ye Jin felt her pocket. With the money she earned from selling ginseng on the train and her previous savings, she could still come up with 20,000 yuan.
"Of course. I have all the deeds. Do you think I can make the decision?"
Manager Lin raised his head and smiled triumphantly. He had finally gained back 10% of his advantage over this little girl.
"Do you have the title deed with you? If so, let's go and complete the formalities now."
"Here's the deed. I've always kept it close to me. But can you come up with 20,000 yuan?"
Manager Lin looked at Ye Jin's overly young face. In the 1980s, there were very few people with a monthly income of 10,000 yuan. How could a girl under 20 years old come up with 20,000 yuan in one go? How could she be so wealthy?
As he thought about this, his eyes widened, and he suddenly realized that he might have been fooled by the girl.
"The money is all here, do you want to count it?"
"You're so young, there's no way you have 20,000 yuan!"
The two of them said this almost at the same time, and then they were both stunned.
"You don't believe I can come up with 20,000 yuan? Do you think I'm lying to you?"
