Chapter 91: Predicting House Prices
"Okay."
Yvonne returned to her senses, foolishly, before they got out of the car together and closed the door.
After buying some daily necessities at the mall, Zachary directly asked someone to send them back to the Leinster Mansion.
"I don’t suppose you want to go back so early either, how about a seat in the office?"
"Yeah."
Yvonne didn’t mind.
Zachary’s company was so upscale and atmospheric that just sitting inside made people feel like they had soared to greatness.
What was more, Zachary had a knack for doing business.
She could learn a lot from watching him and following him every day.
"Let’s go then."
The man took the woman’s hand in his car and drove together towards the office.
Headquarters of the Leinster Group.
Top floor high-level meeting.
Zachary had just arrived at the company and there was already a very important meeting waiting for him.
The man straightened his tie and took a few documents from his secretary, flipping through them quickly before heading towards the conference room.
Because Yvonne and Zachary were in a hidden marriage, Yvonne was now following him around as Zachary’s secretary.
Apart from Mr. King and Mr. Smith, even other secretaries didn’t know about their relationship, and those at the top of the company knew even less.
Yvonne also got a copy of the information in her hand, only it was particularly thick, she had super power memory but feeling much, also did not know how Zachary without such super power was in such a short time to read all these information.
The conference room was open.
Some of the old shareholders were already sitting inside.
Their main discussion today was land selection.
The Leinster Group was ready to take 800 million dollars to do property, aiming to be a high-end property where the rich and famous in Hiltonan gather.
Those materials just now were all kinds of plans, and after Yvonne took a cursory look, most of the board meant to make this property on the piece of land in the east of the city that she had grabbed from Green Source Group last time with Zachary.
There was another comment, made by Mr. King, who wanted to build the houses next to farmland on the outskirts of Hiltonan that was currently still barren.
Not even one person was in favor of this plan, everyone thought this was a high-end property, what kind of rich person would want to buy a house in the suburbs in the middle of nowhere?
"I’ve read everyone’s opinions," Zachary sat in the main seat, towering over everyone, looking askance out of the corner of his eye, "You all prefer to have the house built on that land to the east of the city, but have you thought about what we said to Micheal Quick? We said we would do tourism on this land."
Honesty was one of the most important business ethics.
Before buying it, they said it was going to be a scenic spot, and after buying it, they wanted to build houses there. Although there was no specific contract signed, the verbal agreement was also a promise.
Especially Zachary’s promise, that was quite valuable. Now suddenly if he changed his mind to do real estate, not only Mr. Quick would be uncomfortable with it, the Green Source Group would also laugh at them, and even make a big deal of it, which was not good for them.
Several shareholders looked at each other, and finally, a person in a high position of authority stood out and said, "Mr. Leinster, the business can’t just be done by word of mouth, but also by economic benefits."
"Yeah, 800 million dollars is no small amount.
"What should we do if we invest in that place and no one buys it and we lose it all?
"Yvonne, what do you think?"
Zachary didn’t make his comment, but asked the woman beside him.
Yvonne had been looking at Mr. King’s plan intently.
The more she read it, the more she had to marvel at his foresight and talent!
By the end of the plan, she was so immersed in it that she didn’t notice the man calling her.
"Miss Taylor, Mr. Leinster is talking to you."
A shareholder said kindly.
Hearing someone else’s reminder, Yvonne jerked her head up.
"Mr. King’s plan is amazing, I strongly support it!"
A few of the old shareholders instantly changed their faces when her words came out.
She was the youngest person in the room, only 18, and hadn’t even graduated from college.
Not to mention that she was also Frank Taylor’s daughter, and being able to let her in had already made a few of the old shareholders unpleasant.
But she was actually coming against them now?
"Oh?"
Zachary was intrigued, "What do you think is amazing, tell us?"
"First of all, that land in the east of the city, like you said, we have promised Mr.
Quick, and it’s not big business manners to backtrack suddenly.
"Secondly, although the location of that land in the east of the city is good, the high-end real estate market is already very saturated, just Green Source Group, as far as I know, has started two more projects in that vicinity, and River Side is about to have another one as well. They are all giant companies specializing in real estate, neither the design nor the capital will be much worse than ours, and by then the competitive pressure on us will be great.
"I’m afraid the revenue won’t meet our expectations."
"So, according to Miss Taylor, we should throw the 800 million dollars into the wasteland next to rural farmland?
"I’m afraid that even your father, Mr. Taylor, wouldn’t want to buy a house there, let alone someone else, right?"
Several shareholders here burst into laughter, laughing uncontrollably, not taking her seriously at all!
They didn’t know that Yvonne was Zachary’s wife, they just thought she was a little girl who didn’t know anything, so they mocked her at will.
Yvonne felt humiliated, but she didn’t snap outright.
She just pursed her lips and smiled.
She didn’t mind these people looking down on her because of their old age.
But talking about her dad like that was not something she would tolerate.
"I understand that you all are older and more conservative, but as far as I know, if it were my dad, he wouldn’t be so set in his ways!"
Her words came out sheepishly, and several shareholders slackened their faces and stopped talking.
Although Frank didn’t have as big a family as the Leinsters, it was still more than enough to deal with these old pikers!
At least, if Frank were standing here today, they would only be handing out business cards and asking for his numbers like crazy before they would dare to say such things!
The shareholders in the meeting room did not speak, they had learned how powerful Yvonne was.
Last time, when Mat Shaw who had been fired tried to set Zachary up, she had cynically let the entire board see how shrewd she was.
Now, they also knew that they were not as skilled as Frank Taylor, and when the time came, if this little girl really went to talk bad about them in front of Frank, it would be troublesome for them.
Frank’s vision of investment in these years was really very good. Several projects that originally were not looked forward turned out to be quite promising. Frank made a lot of money from it and the market value of the Taylor Family was all the way up!
"Mr. Leinster, why did you let a little girl like her attend the meeting for such an important project?
"Aren’t you afraid that she’s a spy sent by Frank Taylor?"
A man made the move in desperation.
"That’s right, you’re a little girl, what do you know? Hurry up and go out and sing and dance, don’t make trouble here!"
Zachary’s face was cold and he was just about to slap the table, but Yvonne secretly pulled him behind his back and stood out on her own instead.
Yvonne just smiled, bright and compelling.
"Gentlemen, I wonder if you have read this planning book of Mr. King properly before saying these things?
"First of all, this wasteland is not an ordinary wasteland, it is next to a mountain resource and water resource unique in the whole city of Hiltonan, only ten minutes from the airport, with these superior conditions, it is a treasure land with great potential.
"Moreover, the Hiltonan City’s recent plan is to revitalize the northern part of the city. What does it mean to make money?"
"Making maximum profit with minimum cost is called making money, and making money is all about risk, playing safe all the time because you are afraid of losing money, how can such a business progress?"
And, another reason why Yvonne was so confident in this area was that in her previous life she witnessed the rise of this lot before she died!
It seemed that a huge multinational company invested 8 billion dollars to create water over there, and the original barren grass became a national wetland park, and it was open to big companies from all over the world to attract investment, and the government directly listed it as the new political center!
Those old houses now would all be demolished in less than six months, and prices had gone up more than tenfold around there!
So, if Zachary invested here, the project would be sure to make a solid profit, and, it
would make a horrible profit!
