This is an insurmountable chasm, a distance that even Chen Hong, who has lived through two lifetimes, cannot cross.
Chen Hong was quite self-aware. She was only able to team up with the two families by taking advantage of the special abilities that the space gave her to extract a large amount of capital from the ocean.
Furthermore, the rebirth grants the ability to foresee events, enabling one to accurately grasp the timing of rises and falls in the real estate and stock markets, allowing for timely action and rapid wealth accumulation.
But these two things cannot be spoken aloud; they are Chen Hong's biggest secrets in this life. She can only play the role of a fisherwoman who works hard to earn money at sea and then desperately accumulates real estate in front of them.
The more you say, the more mistakes you make; the less you say, the fewer mistakes you make. With her intelligence, she could easily be tricked into revealing information. To ensure her safety, Chen Hong could only play dumb and follow behind them, picking up any loose ends.
Chen Hong would never do anything like charging into battle; wouldn't it be better to just sit back and enjoy the fruits of others' labor?
All four of them were extremely busy that day, their footprints covering almost the entire city of Beijing.
In the evening, everyone gathered at a time-honored restaurant for dinner, discussing all the real estate properties they had visited that day.
As Chen Hong expected, both families had their eyes on the prime locations of Qianmen Street, Dashilan, and Wangfujing Back Street, and planned to join forces to acquire these four shops.
They first consulted Chen Hong and recommended that she also purchase a large two-story shop.
Chen Hong chuckled inwardly. These two were eyeing the four shops with greedy intent, yet they pretended to be generous and let her buy one. If she actually bought one, who knew how much they would regret it!
Chen Hong shook her head, making it clear that she didn't want to buy shops in these locations. As someone from another province, she wasn't like the Guan and Fang families, who were long-time Beijing residents.
Their deep love for Qianmen Street, Dashilan, and Wangfujing is ingrained in their very being; owning a shop in these locations has been the goal that generations of their family have strived for.
They will do everything in their power to secure shops in these three locations if given the opportunity.
Chen Hong had no intention of getting involved in this mess with them; she was more interested in the shops in large commercial buildings in Xidan, Sanlitun, and Chaoyang districts.
This is a commercial center developed by a well-known domestic real estate developer, so there will definitely be no problem with leasing the shops in the future. There will be very few vacancy periods, and the income is guaranteed.
In addition, two tenants in Sanlitun have signed a five-year long-term lease agreement with the original owner, Mr. Yang.
The remaining five shops in the three locations are all short-term leases with one-year contracts. Mr. Yang also promised that the rent collected would be deducted from the purchase price.
Chen Hong had a lot of ideas about these five shops, and Director Guan and Fang Yitong also wanted to buy two more.
However, the two families were already struggling to acquire four shops and had no resources left to buy other shops and properties.
After discussion, the three parties made a reasonable allocation. Fang Yitong acquired a storefront on Qianmen Street and a shop in Dashilan.
Director Guan acquired a shop in Dashilan and a shop on Wangfujing Back Street.
Chen Hong acquired five shops: three in Xidan, one in Sanlitun, and one in Chaoyang District. She also bought two two-courtyard houses.
As for the villa of over 500 square meters and the large apartment of over 180 square meters that she had previously liked, Chen Hong decided not to buy them for now.
Currently, villas are priced at 15,000 yuan per square meter, and large apartments at 8,500 yuan per square meter. Although the location is excellent, Chen Hong feels that buying a courtyard house would be more cost-effective.
After all, courtyard houses are a non-renewable resource. Regardless of their price, buying one is a bargain. If it weren't for the fear of being too high-profile, Chen Hong would have liked to buy the five-courtyard house as well.
The price of courtyard houses has increased by more than 30% this year. Chen Hong spent nearly seven million yuan on these two courtyard houses, which are over 400 square meters each.
Although the price has increased significantly compared to last year, the location is exceptionally good. Besides being close to government ministry compounds, it is also the closest to the center of the capital.
These two courtyard houses are only a little over a kilometer away from Tiananmen Square and are located in the same alley. One of them even has a basement with several rooms and three underground garages.
This renovation was already completed under Mr. Yang's management. If it were under Chen Hong's management, let alone getting the government to approve the renovation plan, she wouldn't even be able to communicate and negotiate with the surrounding neighbors!
Once you get the property, you can do some minor renovations, and it will be very easy to sell or rent.
Villas have become increasingly popular among young people in recent years, with prices reaching 15,000 yuan per square meter.
The price was roughly the same as the courtyard house that Chen Hong bought. Given the same amount of money, Chen Hong would definitely choose the courtyard house first.
As for the large apartments, the price is right now, but Chen Hong feels the timing isn't right. She silently calculated in her mind that buying two courtyard houses and five shops would cost around 22 million yuan.
Although the taxes and fees are split equally between the buyer and seller, Chen Hong was worried that a fisherman coming up with such a large sum at once would bring trouble.
