  Chapter 11: Boldly Making Money

  TL: Etude

  Doing business es with risks, and in other words, there are no guaranteed profits without losses in this world.

  But Jiang Qin is a reborn individual.

  He knows the outes of mas that have not yet occurred, so making surefire profits isn’t a difficult task for him.

  Especially with financial support from Feng Nanshu, Jiang Qin decided to make bold moves to earn some money.

  The renovation of the old distri Jizhou City was about to start. The project had a wide impact area, and the pensation was generous and prompt, making the purchase of demolition properties Jiang Qin’s first target.

  He retly spent time wandering the streets and alleys, posting notices in all the neighborhoods due for renovation.

  [Buying properties in this area at high prices, tact: XXXX]

  In bustling areas like Rongg and the Xingfu unity, these neighborhoods were known for their old and dipidated houses, and there were plenty of residents dissatisfied with their living ditions and eager to sell.

  Unaware of the immi demolitions, these residents quickly tacted Jiang Qin ohey heard someone was buying properties at high prices.

  Of course, Jiang Qin couldn’t purchase every building.

  The old district renovation was a gover project, shrouded in secrecy. What would it imply if, just before the official notice was issued, someoarted buying up properties in the demolition area in bulk?Jiang Qin might be iigated thhly before even receiving the demolition funds.

  So, no matter which dipidated unity it was, he always chose to buy just one property.

  Greed is acceptable, but one must assess their capacity to hahe sequences first.

  Of course, seleg the right ts was also crucial.

  Houses still occupied were not to be sidered.

  Houses with elderly residents were not to be sidered.

  Houses belonging to those struggling financially were not to be sidered.

  So, what were the ideal targets?

  Houses that were unoccupied for a long time, belonging to wealthy families who had already moved out due to the poor ditions, and were eager to sell.

  Because such houses could be transferred smoothly without deys.

  If someone deyed moving out after the deal, and then realized their house for demolition, they might cause an uproar.

  As a mere high school graduate, Jiang Qin knew he wasn’t equipped to handle such situations.

  Therefore, he spent days seleg his targets, finally settling on Mr. Xu from Fanhuali, Mr. Liu frg, Mr. Bai from the Xingfu unity, and Mr. Wang from the Hongyun unity.

  These four shared a on trait: they had all relocated to other provinces years ago, never returning due to the poor ditions of their houses. Eager to sell, these properties had been vat for years.

  In mid-June, uhe bzing sun, Jiang Qin and Mr. Bai from the Xingfu unity sat in a noodle shop, with property transfer dots and a purchase tract id out before them.

  Guo Zihang, apanying Jiang Qin, sat beside them, looking nervous and timid like a 140-pound shy young man.

  “Uncle Bai, as we agreed, 630,000 yuan. I’ve already transferred it to you.”

  “Ah? Okay.”

  Mr. Bai looked at Jiang Qin’s face, feeling a bit surreal: “I saw your ID at the housing bureau. You’re oeen?”

  Jiang Qin, unfazed by the age discrimination, grinned: “As Mr. Lu Xun said, owning a house doesn’t depend on age.”

  “But why are you buying this kind of house?”

  “My dad just likes these old houses, finds them charming.”

  Mr. Bai houghtfully, guessing this must be a wealthy family with peculiar tastes and indifferent to money. As long as the house was sold, he didn’t care. Haviled in another province for so many years, he had no attat left for this pd probably wouldn’t return again.

  Mr. Bai tucked the trato his bag, mentioning that he had a train to cat the afternoon and hurriedly left.

  Only then did Guo Zihang look up, his gaze heavy as he stared at Jiang Qin, his entire demeanor teh nervousness.

  A high school graduate spending over six huhousand yuan on a house, regardless of its dition, was enough to astonish Guo Zihang. While he was still figuring out how to make his QQ space more colorful and vibrant, his cssmate was already out there buying properties.

  “How anyone accept this?”

  What troubled him more was Jiang Qin’s audacity. Even if Guo Zihang had over six huhousand yuan, he wouldn’t dare to spend it so freely. For people their age, this sum was simply too overwhelming.

  “You really bought a house? That’s over six huhousand yuan.”

  Jiang Qin pushed his water gss forward, dropping the act: “I’ll y it out straight. I’m a mother fug millionaire.”

  Guo Zihang swallowed hard: “I’ve never eveo a foot bath city…” (TL: foot bath/wash/massage there are special services at a higher price ykyk)

  “Wait for the admission notice, and I’ll take you there to have a look.”

  “Thanks, godfather!”

  Jiang Qin smiled wryly, thinking Guo Zihang had indeed broadened his horizons.

  And wasn’t this better than dating?

  You save three months’ sary to buy a neckce for yoddess, only to receive a cold thank you. She might even throw the apanying flowers irash when you’re not looking!

  But look at your brothers, friends, roommates – a little favor, and they’re already calling you godfather.

  “By the way, Jiang, there’s a css gathering this afternoon. Are you going?”

  Jiang Qin came back to reality, slightly startled: “Why a gathering now, out of the blue?”

  Guo Zihang pondered: “The results are ing out soon. If we don’t meet now, those who don’t do well might not be in the mood ter.”

  “Go if you want, I won’t. I’ve got some things to do this afternoon. Enjoy yourselves.”

  “But Chu Siqi will be there!”

  Jiang Qin put his hand on his shoulder, staring ily: “Why do you always bring up Chu Siqi in front of me?”

  Guo Zihang shrank back: “Don’t you like her? I thought you’d want to see her.”

  “If I wao see her, would I have walked away that day oral Street?”

  “Isn’t it just pying hard to get? And it works. She even cried. Others might think she was the one who got dumped.”

  Jiang Qin, not b to expin further, took out some money and ha to the noodle shop owner: “I just met a girl retly and promised to take her out. So, no gathering for me.”

  Guo Zihang looked at his friend in surprise: “Where’s the girl from? Do I know her?”

  “I don’t know.”

  “Where are you guys going? If yoing to the foot bath city, I’ll tag along. The gathering is just about listening to the good students brag. I don’t even want to go.”

  Jiang Qi Guo Zihang’s brain might be as small as a peanut: “Ever heard of taking animals to a zoo? Who the hell takes a girl to a foot bath city?”

  Guo Zihang paused: “Is there anywhere else in Jizhou City woing?”

  “She wants to go to the small odities market iy ter.”

  “That pce is full of small vendors selling knock-off goods. What’s fun about that?”

  “She’s never been there before. She’s curious.”

  Guo Zihang found it unbelievable: “She’s never been there? How poor is her family?”

  Jiang Qin couldn’t help but g him: “Why so many questions? Aren’t you going to the gathering?”

  “Going…”
