Chapter 91: Standing in the Shadows

Zheng Jun was in a terrible mood at this moment!

After dinner last night, he went to a bar and partied until late into the night. Not satisfied, he went to a karaoke bar and stayed out until almost dawn.

Before he could even lie down, the old man called him again, asking him to go out and look at houses with Lin Baoyi.

So he had no choice but to brave the cold wind of the November morning and run across the entire city to follow Lin Baoyi to Zijinyuan.

"Little Chen~" Lin Baoyi, accompanied by Xue Qingxiang and Zheng Jun, saw Chen Yuanzhou as soon as he entered the door.

Chen Yuanzhou also saw the three of them and got up to greet them.

Chen Yuanzhou was slightly surprised by their appearance. Based on Lin Baoyi's demeanor last night, he had assumed Lin wouldn't dare gamble and would abandon the investment in Zijinyuan. He hadn't expected them to show up today.

Is it a decision to take a gamble, or just to observe first?

"President Lin," Chen Yuanzhou nodded in greeting, "I didn't expect to run into you here so early in the morning."

Seeing the three of them with dark circles under their eyes, I couldn't help but laugh and say, "Looks like none of you slept well last night?"

"Haha~" Lin Baoyi chuckled, "I heard you mention Zijinyuan yesterday, so I looked up some related information overnight. I'll take a look at it today."

As he spoke, he prepared to find a salesperson to explain it to him, since even though he had read the materials, he still needed to understand it in person.

However, Zhang He was the only one standing still in the entire hall, looking utterly bored.

"Why are there so few people at this sales office?" he said subconsciously.

Chen Yuanzhou's heart skipped a beat, and he said, "President Lin, this situation is normal."

"Huh?" Lin Baoyi asked, puzzled. "What do you mean?"

Chen Yuanzhou pointed to the edge of the sand table: "Look, they haven't even put out any promotional materials. What does President Lin think that means?"

"Don't the developers want to sell houses? Hahaha~" Lin Baoyi replied with a laugh, then paused for a moment before realizing what he meant.

He's not a fool; he's already figured out the right answer from his own joke!

Like Chen Yuanzhou, as an experienced property speculator, he also had similar speculations!

"I've already gotten the floor plan and the property list. Shall we take a look together?" Chen Yuanzhou then led the three of them over.

As usual, Zhang He came up, handed over his business card, registered the client information, and then stood to the side like a statue, too lazy to introduce himself.

Normally, given Lin Baoyi's status, he might have been furious; he had never been treated with such arrogance before.

But at this moment, having already made a guess in his mind, he connected these strange situations and felt even more that Chen Yuanzhou's judgment was very reasonable!

Chen Yuanzhou picked up the property listings and started looking at them...

Zijinyuan has a total construction area of ​​approximately 70 square meters, consisting of 38 26-story apartment buildings with a total of over 3200 households.

The buildings that were previously launched were 1-10, which are near the main gate. Buildings 11-20 will be launched next month, and the rest are part of the second phase of the project.

"What's the price now?" Chen Yuanzhou asked Zhang He.

Zhang He frowned upon hearing this, wondering if the customer was about to place an order.

After thinking for a moment, he could only reply, "The current average price is around 9000, but each unit has a different price, which is listed on the property list. However, the opening period has passed, so there are no discounts."

Chen Yuanzhou nodded, took out his phone, and began to silently calculate.

Seeing this, Lin Baoyi put down the floor plan and asked curiously, "Xiao Chen, are you really going to place an order?"

"Okay." Chen Yuanzhou responded readily, and then began to mark the locations on the property list according to the locations on the model.

A moment later, he turned to Zhang He and said, "I want all of these properties!"

Zhang He: Σ(°△°|||)

He quickly took the list of available properties and looked at it. He saw that Chen Yuanzhou had marked 18 properties on it, all of which were 76-square-meter studio apartments.

"Mr. Chen~" Remembering his boss's instructions, he couldn't help but say, "These units aren't on very good floors. Wouldn't you like to reconsider? We can wait for the next sale..."

As soon as he said that, Lin Baoyi's previously hesitant thoughts instantly became firm!

This was the first time he had ever seen a sales consultant at a real estate agency make excuses and delays when a customer was about to place a deposit.

Without a doubt, the developer of Zijinyuan wants to hoard the properties!

With that in mind, he disregarded everything else, quickly got up and walked away, and began frantically making phone calls…

Chen Yuanzhou then said to Zhang He, "It's alright, I want these properties. But I have a small request, I wonder if it's negotiable?"

"Uh..." Zhang He felt completely overwhelmed: "Tell me what you think?"

"I can sign the contract and make the payment today, but the contract cannot be signed and filed online!"

"This…"

Zhang He was taken aback: "I can't make that decision."

"Then let's find someone in charge to talk to," Chen Yuanzhou said seriously.

Seeing this, Zhang He could only nod and turn to walk towards his office.

Xue Qingxiang then leaned closer to Chen Yuanzhou and asked curiously, "Manager Chen, why did you insist on not filing the contract? And why did you make the payment first... Isn't this a bit unreliable?"

Chen Yuanzhou looked at him and asked, "How can you change the name after it's been registered? Are you really going to obediently wait a year, submit the certificate, and then list it for sale?"

"Ah..." Xue Qingxiang was suddenly startled, never expecting Chen Yuanzhou to play so ruthlessly.

According to regulations, undelivered new homes cannot be listed for sale.

Therefore, most real estate speculators, just like Chen Yuanzhou said, actually hold the properties and wait patiently until the property is delivered, then obtain the property certificate and list them for sale.

However, this means that the capital recovery period will be at least one year, or even one and a half or two years.

The only loophole is that, with the cooperation of the developers, the purchase contracts are not registered online. This way, when a buyer comes along, the developers can simply sign a contract with the buyer directly.

This practice is similar to speculating on pre-sale apartments, but also somewhat different.

Speculating on pre-sale apartments only requires a small deposit, which is merely a qualification to purchase a property, so the price is often not high.

Chen Yuanzhou's approach at this time is to legitimately purchase real estate and then sell it, which requires a large capital investment, but the returns are naturally higher.

The only problem is, why should the developer cooperate with you doing this?

At this moment, Lin Baoyi also returned after finishing his phone call.

Seeing this, Xue Qingxiang hurriedly went over and told him what Chen Yuanzhou had done.

After hearing this, Lin Baoyi approached Chen Yuanzhou somewhat awkwardly and said, "Little Chen, it might not be appropriate not to file a record?"

"President Lin~" Chen Yuanzhou explained, "It's just my own decision to do it this way. If you want to invest, you can follow the normal procedures."

Lin Baoyi blinked, then suddenly laughed: "So short of money?"

Chen Yuanzhou: ...

"Lin Baoyi is indeed a cunning old fox! He guessed it right away," he thought to himself.

There's no other way! What Chen Yuanzhou needs to do now is accumulate his strength as quickly as possible in the shortest amount of time, so he has no choice but to take an unconventional approach.

However, while this method is more efficient, it also increases the risks.

First, it depends on whether the developer will cooperate. Second, it is a borderline activity that will come at a price, and there is also the possibility of being caught by regulators.

If it were investing in other projects, Chen Yuanzhou would probably have followed the proper procedures step by step.

But in his past life, when he was investigating information about Zijinyuan, he felt that this project, including the Yaojiang Group, had some unclear background...

Since that's the case, Chen Yuanzhou chose to stand in this huge shadow as well, letting them help him cover those risks!
