"Brother Du, if you think it's unreliable, then don't buy it. It's always good to be cautious!
So you don't need to worry about me or feel embarrassed. I understand." Liu Yifeng forced a smile, pretending to be nonchalant after Du Ziheng had been silent for a long time.
He hadn't expected Du Ziheng to believe him before he even arrived.
He just didn't want him to miss out on this opportunity to make money. He had said what he needed to say, and if Du Ziheng didn't buy, then he simply wasn't destined to profit from this.
Du Ziheng immediately said, "Brother Liu, don't be so quick to dismiss me! I didn't say I wouldn't buy!
Although asking me to buy a house there based on your intuition does sound a bit unreliable.
However, even President Wan and President Su trust you and have bought houses there, so what do I have to hesitate about? At worst, the houses won't be demolished and will just sit there.
After all, houses aren't like food that expires. And the delta is close to the city center, so it will be demolished sooner or later.
The worst-case scenario is that it won't be demolished for a few years, but it will be eventually!
When do you plan to go buy? I'll go with you.
I've never made such a crazy investment in my life. This time, I'll go crazy with you!"
In the end, he chose to believe Liu Yifeng.
After all, he had partnered with Liu Yifeng and made nearly two million yuan.
Using the money he made from Liu Yifeng to invest with him again was a good way to make the most of it.
"We'll go buy tomorrow. I'll contact the people there shortly, and then we can go choose houses.
Oh, by the way, you mentioned your relative also lives there and couldn't sell their house last time.
You should call him later and tell him not to sell, or he'll regret it sooner or later!" Liu Yifeng reminded him.
If this person weren't Du Ziheng's relative, Liu Yifeng wouldn't have bothered.
He didn't want Du Ziheng to buy his house and then his relative have no business.
After hearing Liu Yifeng, Du Ziheng asked with a grin, "Brother Liu, do you mean you're certain the houses there will be demolished?
Do you know approximately how long it will take?"
"At most a month and a half, the houses there will be demolished," Liu Yifeng said mysteriously.
"Then I'll look forward to this good news. If the houses there are truly demolished within a month and a half, you'll be a living god in my eyes. From now on, I'll invest in whatever you suggest," Du Ziheng said.
Liu Yifeng waved his hand with a smile, "What living god? We're just ordinary people.
I just bought houses there based on intuition. I probably won't have such accurate intuition in the future."
"Brother Liu, how many houses do you plan to buy tomorrow?" Du Ziheng asked curiously.
"I bought fourteen last time. This time, I plan to buy more, another twenty or so!" In reality, Liu Yifeng could use all his remaining money to buy houses.
However, he was afraid of attracting too much attention if he bought too many.
So, he decided to keep a low profile and just buy thirty-odd units.
Du Ziheng almost choked on his drink when he heard Liu Yifeng: "Cough... cough..."
"Are you alright?" Liu Yifeng asked with concern, looking at the coughing man.
Du Ziheng quickly grabbed a tissue, wiped his mouth, and shook his head, "No... I'm fine!"
"But are you planning to buy up all the houses in the delta? Du Ziheng was genuinely impressed by Liu Yifeng's boldness.
To buy over thirty houses based on intuition, as if money were no object.
Liu Yifeng couldn't help but laugh. "You think too highly of me. How could I have the ability to buy all the houses? There are thousands of houses in the delta. Even if I sold myself, I wouldn't have that much money."
"But even buying twenty more houses would cost a lot of money, wouldn't it? Didn't you ask me for some money recently? Do you have that much money now?
If not, don't rush to return my money!" Du Ziheng said.
"I borrowed 1.5 million yuan from you last time to lease an orchard. I sold the pomelos from the orchard to President Su a few days ago, and I've made quite a bit.
Even after returning the money to you, I'll still have plenty left, enough to buy twenty houses."
Hearing this, Du Ziheng couldn't help but look at him with admiration: "You're amazing! You leased an orchard not long ago and you've already recouped your costs, and even earned enough to buy twenty houses. Your speed of making money is truly beyond my reach!"
"I'm still far behind those true business magnates."
As they were chatting and laughing, the dishes were gradually served.
"Brother Liu, I'll toast you with a drink instead of alcohol. I wish your intuition brings you success, and that we both make a fortune." Du Ziheng raised his glass.
"I also wish Brother Du's business prosperity!" Liu Yifeng clinked glasses with Du Ziheng.
After the meal, Liu Yifeng transferred 1.52 million yuan to Du Ziheng. The extra 20,000 yuan was considered interest.
Seeing the extra money, Du Ziheng quickly said, "Brother Liu, didn't I only lend you 1.5 million? Why are you returning 1.52 million?"
"This extra 20,000 yuan is my token of appreciation for lending me the money without asking for reasons," Liu Yifeng explained.
Du Ziheng waved it off dismissively, "I lent you money because I trust you. Besides, you're returning it with an extra 20,000 yuan less than half a month later. How can I possibly accept it? I'm transferring the money back to you now!"
Liu Yifeng quickly stopped him, "Brother Du, if you consider me a friend, don't transfer the money back. Even brothers settle their accounts clearly!
I borrowed your money to make money, so I should give you some benefit. I just hope Brother Du doesn't find it too little!"
"What are you saying? How could I find it too little?
I won't transfer the money back to you, but this meal must be on me!" Du Ziheng said in a tone that brooked no argument.
Liu Yifeng didn't argue with him on such a small matter: "Fine, then it's on you!"
They ate at a mid-range restaurant and didn't order expensive drinks. The meal cost only a few hundred yuan.
It would be too petty to argue over such a trifle.
They parted ways after leaving the restaurant.
They had agreed to meet at the delta at 9 AM tomorrow to buy the houses together.
Liu Yifeng got back into his car and didn't go home immediately. Instead, he called Chen Xiufeng and told her that he would be taking a friend to see houses tomorrow morning at 9 AM, and asked her to help gather the people who hadn't been selected before.
He would give her a red envelope after the houses were finalized.
Last time, after he bought the houses, he had given Chen Xiufeng 2,000 yuan, which was also the benefit he had promised her.
Otherwise, Chen Xiufeng wouldn't have worked so hard for him to buy houses.
Upon hearing about another red envelope, Chen Xiufeng's spirits immediately lifted: "Young man, don't worry, I'll make sure everyone is there tomorrow."
Liu Yifeng had some faith in Chen Xiufeng's ability to get things done.
However, once the news of the demolition came out, she would likely become the target of public criticism. He wondered if she would be able to handle it.
But that was no longer his concern. He hadn't forced her to do it.
After the call, Liu Yifeng remembered what Su Wanru had promised him and opened his messages.
He saw that Su Wanru had sent him a message around 11:40.
It contained the phone numbers and names of two truck drivers, telling him to contact them directly if he needed them.
They would follow his instructions for the next few days.
Liu Yifeng immediately replied with a thank you, as he was using her resources.
Unexpectedly, as soon as he sent the message, Su Wanru replied with "You're welcome!"
Considering he had to pick up Tongtong at 4 PM, Liu Yifeng didn't go home. Going home and then coming back would be too much of a hassle.
So, he played Temple Run on his phone to kill time.
This game had been released not long ago and had become popular nationwide.
However, he rarely played it and would fall off after a short while.
He heard that this game had no end, and he wondered if it was true.
While Liu Yifeng was playing the game, Yun Duo'er's agent arrived at Yun Duo'er's resting place, holding a notification document.
"Duo'er, the company has secured a guest spot for you on a show. If you perform well, you could gain millions, even tens of millions, of fans!"
"What show is it?" Yun Duo'er's eyes lit up upon hearing this.
"You'll know when you see it." The agent handed the notification document to Yun Duo'er.
