"Is this watch so hard to get? Why don't you just give it to your dad?" Liu Yifeng hadn't expected that buying a watch would require a month's advance reservation, and at that time, there was no news of the house being demolished.
This meant that whether the house was demolished or not, Su Wanru had intended to give him this watch.
The gesture was too precious, and he felt unworthy of it.
Su Wanru feigned displeasure, "I already said this is to thank you. Are you refusing it because you think it's too cheap?"
Seeing Su Wanru misunderstand, Liu Yifeng quickly explained, "No, no, I just feel unworthy of receiving something so difficult to obtain!"
"If I'm giving it to you, it means you deserve it. Besides, this is a style for young people, and it wouldn't be suitable for my dad!"
"Yifeng, don't be so hesitant. Since President Su is giving it to you, just accept it gracefully. However, I'll make it clear in advance, I don't have such a big red envelope to thank you. If you think it's too little later, I won't give you more," Liu Kaichen said, putting an arm around Liu Yifeng's shoulder like a close brother.
Liu Yifeng smiled, "I wouldn't mind if you didn't give me anything. Alright, I'll accept the watch. Let's hurry and process the paperwork!"
After that, the four of them, carrying various documents for the demolition procedures, arrived at the demolition office. His documents had been kept in the car precisely so he could process them directly upon arrival, saving him a trip back to retrieve them, which would have been too troublesome.
Inside the office, a few other local residents were also handling demolition procedures. A couple of days prior, it had been extremely busy, with everyone fearing that delaying their processing would mean receiving half the demolition compensation. In reality, that was just an intimidation tactic from higher-ups to ensure resident cooperation. By now, most people had completed their procedures and received their demolition fees.
It wasn't long before it was Liu Yifeng and his group's turn. They signed the demolition agreements one by one. Then came the settlement of the demolition funds, which were paid to them on the spot. Shortly after completing the procedures, the money was transferred to their accounts through the bank.
The properties they had purchased were in excellent locations, so the demolition compensation was more than two thousand yuan per square meter higher than for properties in less desirable areas. They had bought them at two thousand yuan per square meter, and now the demolition payout was eight thousand yuan per square meter, a full four times their purchase price. Excluding their initial investment, they had earned six thousand yuan per square meter.
Looking at the text message on his phone, Liu Kaichen happily hugged Liu Yifeng, "Yifeng, we made a killing this time, I really love you." If he were not a man, he would have kissed him. Although he earned the least among the group, having only bought two properties, he was already content having made 2.4 million yuan in just two months. His villa was now within reach.
"Calm down, we're brothers. Incest is not good!" Liu Yifeng, struggling to breathe from the hug, quickly pushed him away.
Su Wanru was also overjoyed. Although she had worked hard to reach a high executive position with an annual income of over a million yuan and didn't lack money, her account had never held such a large sum. At its peak, it had only been five million yuan, and in just two months, she had turned 4.4 million yuan into 17.6 million yuan. If it weren't for her reserved nature, she might have already jumped for joy.
"Yifeng, we all managed to find such a great opportunity thanks to you. In just two months, you've made me a millionaire!" Wan Hui looked at Liu Yifeng gratefully, an unstoppable smile on his face. If it weren't for his age, he might have hugged Liu Yifeng like Liu Kaichen. He had invested 3.2 million yuan and now had 12.8 million yuan, earning 9.6 million yuan in two months, a speed comparable to a rocket. How many people in the country could earn over nine million yuan in their entire lifetime, yet he had done it in just two months? All of this was thanks to Liu Yifeng. He realized that Liu Yifeng was undoubtedly his benefactor. Ever since he met Liu Yifeng and started ordering vegetables from his family, the hotel's business had boomed, which meant a larger year-end bonus for him as the general manager. Now, by making so much money with Liu Yifeng, he was truly his benefactor.
"I told you, if you want to thank anyone, thank yourselves. If you hadn't chosen to believe me, you wouldn't have encountered such a good opportunity."
"Stop being so modest. If we don't thank you, who else can we thank? You turned my 1.92 million yuan into over 7 million yuan. Coupled with my other assets, I'm also a millionaire. There aren't many millionaires in our city!" said Du Ziheng.
Just then, two young men saw Liu Yifeng and greeted him with a smile. "Hello, Mr. Liu, do you remember us?" Liu Yifeng found them familiar but couldn't recall where he had seen them. Because they had been wearing work uniforms when handling the property transfer for them, and today they were in casual clothes, their demeanor was completely different, making it hard to recognize them at first glance. Finally, the man wearing glasses reminded him with a smile, "Don't you remember? I handled the property transfer for you a couple of months ago!"
With this reminder, Liu Yifeng suddenly realized, "I remember now! Hello, how come you're here?" One of them sheepishly scratched the back of his head and said, "Last time we saw you buying so many properties, we thought it was something significant. We had some spare money at home, so we followed suit and bought one. We didn't expect this house to be demolished so soon. We're here today to process the demolition procedures. However, we owe our good fortune to you. Are you free for lunch? We'd like to treat everyone!"
His words made Liu Yifeng and the others pause for a moment. They thought, "We found a good deal, but *this* is what you call a good deal." It was true that fortune favors the bold. The two of them knew nothing and hadn't asked them anything, but based on their purchase of so many properties, they dared to spend hundreds of thousands on a property in the Delta region, which showed unusual courage.
Liu Yifeng quickly recovered his composure and smiled slightly, "You bought these houses with your own money, and I didn't ask you to. So, there's no need for thanks. Rather, we should thank you for taking time off work to handle our paperwork. Let's skip lunch; we have other things to do this noon!"
"Then we won't delay you further. We'll go process our paperwork. You guys carry on!"
Watching the two men process their paperwork, Liu Kaichen couldn't help but exclaim, "Those two have such good luck, getting demolition compensation like this. It's like picking it up for free!"
"They can make money because they're bold. If it were anyone else, would they dare to casually spend hundreds of thousands on a property in the Delta?" Liu Yifeng retorted.
Liu Kaichen nodded, "That's true. If I didn't know the reason behind it, I definitely wouldn't dare to buy!"
"So, it's only right that they make money!" Liu Yifeng said. 138 Reading Net.
"Yifeng, among all of us, you bought the most properties, so your demolition compensation is also the highest. Hurry up and tell us how much you earned!" Du Ziheng asked curiously.
Liu Yifeng glanced at the text message, his expression very calm, "It's not much. After deducting my initial investment, I only made about 25 million yuan!"
"What do you mean 'only about 25 million yuan'? Are you deliberately trying to annoy me? I'm overjoyed with what I earned, which is less than a tenth of yours. You made over 25 million yuan this afternoon and you're still so calm. I seriously suspect you're trying to provoke us!" Liu Kaichen's eyes widened, and then he pouted, expressing his dissatisfaction.
