After parting ways unhappily with Wu Qian, Ye Yun and the two women found a private room.
Wang Meiling and the other woman vented their dissatisfaction with Wu Qian, while Ye Yun merely smiled.
Why bother with someone destined to be caught?
Soon.
As the waiter brought out small but expensive dishes.
Wang Meiling, after a few tentative tastes, was the first to ask.
"Mr. Ye, you mentioned a business opportunity you wanted to involve me and Wenwen in. What kind of venture is it?"
Hearing this.
Wang Wenwen also put down her cutlery.
She was equally interested in this question. No one would complain about having too much money.
Ye Yun put down his chopsticks and picked up a glass of plum juice, taking a sip. He wiped his mouth with a hot towel.
"Buy the pedestrian street in Xiong'an County!"
"What?"
Upon hearing this.
Wang Meiling almost choked to death.
Buy the Xiong'an County pedestrian street?
Was Ye Yun insane?
Xiong'an County was a county town near Jinling, but it had no connection to Jinling whatsoever.
It was a small county town belonging to Anhui Province!
Because it was a small county town, young people were unwilling to stay, choosing to work elsewhere, leading to a severe aging population.
To buy the pedestrian street in such a run-down place, either Ye Yun was crazy, or she was.
"Mr. Ye, did you say buy the Xiong'an County pedestrian street? You're not joking, are you?"
Even Wang Wenwen, standing beside her, wondered if she shouldn't have listened to Ye Yun and canceled the cooperation with "Piaomiao Peak."
After all, he could say things like buying the Xiong'an pedestrian street, which was utterly out of touch!
"Mr. Ye, you might not know that Xiong'an County is fast becoming a ghost town. I went there to survey before the New Year with the intention of opening a branch."
"The rent there is ridiculously low. A three-story storefront costs only a little over 10,000 yuan a month."
"With such low rent, I also conducted a survey, and almost all the shops on the entire street were losing money! The few that remained could only operate at break-even, and not a single one was profitable!"
"Therefore, I abandoned the idea of opening a branch at that time."
"Mr. Ye, I believe you've heard of our Wang family's influence. More importantly, even our Wang family hasn't received any signal that Xiong'an County is to be vigorously developed."
Wang Meiling spoke gently.
Although she largely believed in Ye Yun's ability to avoid disaster,
this did not mean she accepted Ye Yun's means of seeking wealth.
Due to her family background, she associated with prominent individuals.
Thus, she heard many insider rumors that ordinary people were unaware of.
However, there was not a single piece of information about Xiong'an County.
To buy the Xiong'an County pedestrian street at this time would be no different from throwing money into the sea.
"Mr. Ye, you're not thinking of buying the entire street and then using the real estate playbook to create the impression that the government is going to vigorously reform Xiong'an County, and then harvest the investors like leeks, are you?"
"But given the current situation, Xiong'an County has no possibility of development. Those merchants will actually think we're suckers."
Wang Wenwen, standing beside her, tried to find a reason for Ye Yun, but immediately negated it herself after speaking.
Buying an entire street, and in Xiong'an County...
That was simply absurd!
"Regardless of what you say, I wouldn't treat investors like fools," Ye Yun said with a wry smile.
However, he could completely understand the reactions of Wang Meiling and Wang Wenwen at this moment.
After all, Xiong'an County was currently a ghost town. To buy a street there would indeed be foolish.
But how could Ye Yun forget what happened in his memory?
A week later, the state announced the establishment of the Jinling Metropolitan Area.
Centered around Jinling, it included a prosperous region encompassing Northern Jiangsu and most of Anhui Province.
Among them, Xiong'an New Area was to be vigorously developed!
What's more, the state elevated Xiong'an County to Xiong'an New Area!
Designated as a sub-provincial economic special zone!
Essentially equivalent to Shenzhen in Guangdong Province.
Housing prices skyrocketed, increasing by seven to eight times on that very day!
And among them, the most exaggerated was the pedestrian street.
The price increase reached over fifteen times!
However, Ye Yun naturally couldn't, and wouldn't dare to, speak of these things.
"I've said what I needed to say. Whether you believe it or not is up to yourselves."
Ye Yun said mysteriously, then took out a bank card.
"Ms. Wang, Ms. Wang, no, Wenwen, Sister Wang. I'm putting in all the funds I can currently access, a total of 3.7 million yuan. I'll keep a few tens of thousands for myself later, and the rest, please help me buy shops on the Xiong'an County pedestrian street."
"Mr. Ye..."
"Mr. Ye, you..."
The two women spoke simultaneously, but then stopped at the same time.
They exchanged glances, seeing the shock in each other's eyes!
Was Ye Yun serious about this?
They both knew that the more than 3.6 million yuan in the card represented Ye Yun's entire fortune.
To bet his entire fortune on the property prices of a run-down place like the Xiong'an pedestrian street?
"Mr. Ye, are you really not joking? Won't you reconsider?" Wang Wenwen asked, bewildered.
"More real than gold and silver. If you two believe me, then play this hand with me. Once this opportunity is gone, it won't come back," Ye Yun said with a smile.
"I... I need to think about it." Wang Wenwen hesitated. Da Feng Novel Network.
"Mr. Ye, if you are truly certain about using over 3.6 million yuan to buy the Xiong'an County pedestrian street, I can help you handle the arrangements."
"Currently, the average price on the pedestrian street is around 5,000 yuan per square meter. With over 3.6 million yuan, including a loan, you could probably buy around 800 square meters."
"However, shouldn't you consider this carefully?" Wang Meiling, after careful thought, decided to try and persuade Ye Yun again.
"Consider? No need, no need. And this needs to be done quickly, preferably within three days! Sister Wang, I'll be counting on you for this," Ye Yun said with a smile.
Ye Yun's confident demeanor made Wang Meiling and Wang Wenwen look at each other again.
Completed within three days?
Could it be that the housing prices in Xiong'an County would skyrocket in a very short period?
The banquet at Tianxiang Mansion ended anticlimactically.
Even after Ye Yun was dropped off at the entrance of the urban village.
Wang Meiling and Wang Wenwen were still in a daze.
"Wenwen, do you think Mr. Ye has a chance of succeeding this time?"
In the car, Wang Meiling asked in a deep voice.
"Hoo!!"
Wang Wenwen took a deep breath, as if she had made a heavy decision.
Instead, she looked at Wang Meiling and asked.
"Aunt, let me ask you, if you were Mr. Ye, under what circumstances would you choose to bet your entire fortune on a pedestrian street in Xiong'an?"
"I'm certain and sure that it will increase!" Wang Meiling blurted out.
"Exactly! Think about it, we've investigated Mr. Ye's family situation thoroughly. We know what over 3 million yuan means."
"Since he dares to bet his entire fortune, doesn't that explain a lot?"
Wang Wenwen continued.
"Are you also planning to buy shops on the Xiong'an County pedestrian street?" Wang Meiling asked.
"He's too mystical. I'm too afraid not to believe in his mysticism! I don't believe the houses in Xiong'an County will rise, but there's a voice in my heart constantly saying, 'Rise, it will definitely rise!' So, I've decided, I'll invest ten million yuan and follow him to buy the Xiong'an County pedestrian street!"
Wang Wenwen took a deep breath, her eyes gradually firming!
