Chapter 487: Money is shit

“I took over a community called Shìwài Táoyuán (Secluded Paradise) Community a while ago, and it just finished construction today,” Ye Bufan said. “When your mother-in-law arrives, just take her to pick one out.”

Han Shuai said somewhat awkwardly, “Xiao Fan, how can this be? No matter how many houses you have, they’re yours… ”

Ye Bufan glared, “Are you not going to stop? We’re brothers for life, money is nothing. If you were successful now and I was down and out, wouldn’t you help me?”

“Of course I would, but…”

Han Shuai was about to say something else, but Ye Bufan directly interrupted him, saying, “There are no buts. The house and car are my wedding gift to you. I won’t be giving a red envelope then.”

“Xiao Fan, thank you!”

Han Shuai’s eyes reddened as he spoke. Ever since his father went bankrupt, he had thoroughly seen through the fickle nature of the world.

Those who used to call him brother turned into strangers in the blink of an eye. Ye Bufan was the first to offer help in his time of need.

“Are you sick? You’re thanking me.”

Ye Bufan said, throwing a bank card, “There’s one million in here. Your mother-in-law can’t be too shabby when she comes tomorrow.”

Han Shuai quickly said, “I can’t take any more of your money.”

“Who said it was for you?” Ye Bufan said, “Consider it a loan from me. When you get rich in the future, pay me back ten times over.”

“I…”

What else did Han Shuai want to say? But he opened his mouth and ultimately said nothing.

He was indeed penniless now. All his family’s accounts were frozen, none of his bank cards could be used, and the cash in his pocket had long been spent.

Ye Bufan asked, “Did your mother-in-law say when she’s arriving?”

“Tomorrow morning’s flight.”

Ye Bufan said, “Alright then, don’t drink any more of this alcohol. Go back and rest quickly.

Tomorrow, buy a few sets of clothes, get a haircut, and don’t disgrace the men of our Jiangnan City.”

“Okay! No more drinking.”

Han Shuai threw down the wine bottle in his hand, and at this moment, he regained his spirits.

The two of them left the small pub, and he saw Ye Bufan’s Ferrari and said, “Brother, your car isn’t good enough, is it?”

Ye Bufan said, “What’s wrong? Do you think it’s not high-class enough? I have a pagani there too, you can drive that if you want.”

“That’s not what I mean!” Han Shuai quickly waved his hand and said, “Look, this sports car only has two seats. Tomorrow, I’ll be taking Yu Ting to the airport to pick someone up. We can’t possibly make my mother-in-law ride back in the trunk, can we?”

“That’s true. How about this, I’ll go with you to pick them up tomorrow, and I’ll drive my range rover over to you on the way.”

Han Shuai didn’t stand on ceremony anymore and said directly, “Alright, let’s contact each other by phone tomorrow.”

Early the next morning, Ye Bufan drove to Shìwài Táoyuán (Secluded Paradise) Community.

Guan Dongping’s efficiency in handling matters was indeed high. Compared to a month ago, the place was completely new, and all the subsequent construction of the entire community had been completed.

The community’s design and construction quality were first-rate, making people’s eyes light up when they saw it.

As soon as he parked the car, Guan Dongping came out to greet him: “Boss, you’re here.”

It was the height of summer, and he had been inspecting the area all morning. His work clothes were soaked with sweat, and he wiped the sweat from his forehead as he walked.

Surveying the Shìwài Táoyuán (Secluded Paradise) Community, Ye Bufan nodded and said, “Well done.”

“As long as you’re satisfied!”

Guan Dongping secretly breathed a sigh of relief. During this time, Ye Bufan had not only helped him a great deal, but also provided whatever money and resources he needed. If he still couldn’t do well, he would truly be letting his boss down.

He asked again, “Boss, when do we start sales? The people at the sales office have already chased me several times.”

Ye Bufan said, “Since the building is completed, let’s start now.”

“Alright, I’ll contact the media for publicity right away.”

Guan Dongping said excitedly. Finishing the building was only the first step; making money was the real success.

Ye Bufan said, “We don’t need publicity. We can just open the sales office directly.”

“This… this… this won’t work, will it?” Guan Dongping said with a puzzled expression. “Boss, our location is already far from the city center. If we don’t do any publicity, it might be very difficult to sell.”

“Don’t worry, good wine needs no bush. The same principle applies to our buildings. People will be rushing to buy them then.”

“This…”

Guan Dongping hesitated but ultimately said nothing. In his opinion, this young boss was too whimsical.

But it didn’t matter. If sales weren’t good after a while, he would naturally start advertising.

“Boss, what about the price of our buildings?”

After Guan Dongping spoke, he was afraid that Ye Bufan was not very clear about the real estate prices in Jiangnan City, so he continued, “The housing prices in the city center of our Jiangnan City are about 20,000 to 30,000 yuan per square meter, and the outer areas are about 10,000 to 20,000 yuan per square meter.

Our location here is already in the suburbs, and I personally think that setting the selling price at around five to six thousand yuan is more appropriate.”

“The price you mentioned is too low,” Ye Bufan said. “I’ve said before that our community is the best first-class community in the world, so the price naturally has to be the best price.

How about this, let’s divide our community into three tiers for sale: the outermost buildings at 100,000 yuan per square meter, the middle ones at 200,000 yuan per square meter, and the central part at 300,000 yuan per square meter.”

“What?!” Guan Dongping’s legs went weak, almost collapsing from the shock of the price.

He could hardly believe his ears and asked doubtfully, “Boss, you’re not joking, are you?”

Ye Bufan said, “Of course not. I’m serious. Do I look like I’m joking?”

“But boss, our buildings really aren’t worth that price. Even at 10,000 yuan per square meter, they wouldn’t sell.”

As the initial developer, Guan Dongping naturally had a clear understanding of the price of his buildings.

Although there was no problem with the construction quality of the buildings, the location was simply too remote. In his opinion, 100,000 yuan per square meter was simply a pipe dream, utterly whimsical.

Ye Bufan smiled slightly. He raised his right foot and gently stomped on the ground, and a surge of spiritual energy instantly activated the Yin and Yang Five Elements Array that had been set up earlier.

At that very instant, Guan Dongping felt the surrounding heat dissipate completely.

Although the sun in the sky was still bright and sunny, the surrounding temperature suddenly dropped a lot, to about 20 degrees Celsius, making people feel incredibly comfortable without any sensation of heat.

Immediately after, he was astonished to discover that everything around him seemed to have changed. The air was incredibly fresh, the previous haze had completely disappeared, and every breath felt refreshing from head to toe, as if his entire body was filled with Qi.

The surrounding vegetation and flowers also burst forth with vibrant Life Qi. Flowers bloomed at a visible speed, and the previously withered grass instantly turned lush green.

Countless small birds in the sky seemed to be attracted to this area, circling and flying, continuously chirping with joyful calls.

This was just the beginning. Then Ye Bufan snapped his fingers, and heavy rain began to fall over the rockery in the center of the community, while snowflakes drifted down on the adjacent lawn.

Other areas remained sunny and bright, with rising water vapor, creating a scene like a fairyland under the sunlight.

“This… this…”

Guan Dongping was completely stunned, never expecting such a magical sight to appear within the community he had built.

Ye Bufan laughed, “How about it? Is it worth the price now?”
