How could someone who's been reborn be optimized?

Chapter 88: Barrier

"Little Chen~"

After the initial shock, Lin Baoyi quickly regained his composure and asked seriously, "The No. 1 compound you mentioned, is that the dormitory?"

Zheng Hong, standing nearby, also looked on with anticipation and curiosity: "We usually live in Haishi, and we've only heard a little about what's happening in Jiangcheng. We don't know much about it. Could you tell us about it?"

After he said that, Chen Yuanzhou understood a little.

Indeed, gossip that ordinary people in Jiangcheng know is a secret that is difficult for those living elsewhere to explore; physical distance is an insurmountable chasm.

So Chen Yuanzhou began to explain: "In recent years, Jiangcheng's urbanization has developed rapidly, especially the old city renovation. Qiuzhi Compound was originally a housing reform house allocated by the provincial government in the early years. Although the residents were all provincial employees, it was still inevitable that it would be demolished."

"Can the resettlement housing allocated to these people be of the same standard as regular resettlement housing?"

"You two can investigate the building information of Shengyuan Community. It is a provincial special project, including resettlement housing and affordable housing. The target group is employees at the level of 12. This information is publicly available and easy to find, which will help you determine why Shengyuan Community is different from others."

"Under these circumstances, I predict that it won't be long before the authorities take action on various supporting facilities around Shengyuan, especially infrastructure such as the school district."

After listening to Chen Yuanzhou, Lin Baoyi and Zheng Hong exchanged a glance. Although they found it hard to believe, Chen Yuanzhou's story was quite convincing and detailed.

Lin Baoyi said somewhat awkwardly, "Xiao Chen, it's not that I don't trust you, but while Shengyuan Community is special, isn't it a bit hasty to judge the surrounding amenities based solely on that?"

Lin Baoyi still believes more in the established facts and data.

For example, Qinghu Renjia chose to invest in this project because of its unparalleled environmental advantages and scarcity.

After all, the property prices around Su Bai Lake, which is right next to the city center, have already skyrocketed, while Qinghu, as a lower-tier alternative, has a bright future!

However, while Shengyuan Community does possess certain unique characteristics, relying solely on this one characteristic to justify a massive investment of funds…

If those imagined supporting measures are not implemented, although it is unlikely to result in losses, the efficiency of capital will be greatly reduced.

As I said before, in the upcoming market, earning less is equivalent to losing more!

Moreover, he specifically called Chen Yuanzhou here today, partly to see Chen Yuanzhou's interpersonal skills, and partly to win over Zheng Hong, without intending to formulate any further plans.

Therefore, Lin Baoyi was somewhat conflicted at this moment...

Zheng Hong had initially believed Chen Yuanzhou's confident words to some extent, but seeing Lin Baoyi's doubtful expression reminded him of something. He quickly calmed down after getting a little carried away.

"It's not that mysterious..." Zheng Jun said at this moment, "I still have the same idea. Rather than relying on vague guesses, we should just start development and take control of the decision-making power ourselves."

Chen Yuanzhou had been observing Lin Baoyi and Zheng Hong's expressions, but unfortunately, the result was somewhat disappointing.

Zheng Hong was one thing, but looking at Lin Baoyi's doubtful expression, it seemed he still couldn't fully trust his own judgment.

While understandable, it has also created some distance between them.

In fact, according to Chen Yuanzhou's thinking, no matter what the next project is decided, Lin Baoyi will have to go with the flow and first get Zheng Hong on board with him!

After he entered the room and figured out Lin Baoyi's intentions, he cooperated as much as possible. His decision to reveal his plan to invest in Zijinyuan was also a way of testing Lin Baoyi's courage.

With that in mind, Chen Yuanzhou continued, "President Lin, I will definitely invest in Zijinyuan next. If you think my judgment needs to be reconsidered, you can wait until the second cycle to invest as well."

"Although the profit may be lower, it's more stable! Even Mr. Zheng can observe for a while before deciding whether to join."

Upon hearing this, Lin Baoyi immediately realized that this was a reminder to him!

The focus tonight is on Zheng Hong, not the project.

Upon hearing the next step of the plan, he momentarily lost his way, becoming too focused on the risks and failing to cooperate with Chen Yuanzhou in winning over Zheng Hong...

A colossal mistake!

However, the opportunity has already passed, and it's too late to turn back.

After Chen Yuanzhou finished speaking, Zheng Hong raised his glass and laughed, "Young Chen, you are indeed insightful and courageous. We are getting old and need to think about it some more before making a decision."

"..."

Lin Baoyi reluctantly raised his glass, then made some polite remarks before hastily ending the dinner.

After seeing the Zheng father and son off to their car, Lin Baoyi turned to Chen Yuanzhou and said earnestly, "Xiao Chen, it was my fault today, I'm sorry!"

Seeing that the multi-millionaire was being so humble towards a young man he had only known for a short time, Chen Yuanzhou was not satisfied, but he had no choice but to give the other party a way out.

He could only say, "Mr. Lin, it's alright. While it's hard to find a capable investor, the trust between us is the most important thing."

"I wasn't just saying I would definitely vote for Zijinyuan; I hope you'll consider it carefully."

"Zijinyuan isn't a property currently accepting pre-orders; it's already on sale..."

"Although sales are sluggish, there is still the stimulus of the four trillion yuan plan. It will be too late once the official announcement and unveiling are made."

"I'll go directly to purchase a unit in Zijinyuan tomorrow. As for you... well, I estimate it will take some time to raise the funds, so we'll have to wait and see. That's all for now, I'm heading back now."

After saying that, Chen Yuanzhou got into a taxi waiting in line outside the restaurant and left.

Lin Baoyi naturally knew that Chen Yuanzhou was somewhat dissatisfied tonight. He lit a cigarette in the evening breeze, took a few deep drags, and then dialed Xue Qingxiang's number.

"I need all the information about Zijinyuan and Shengyuan residential communities before midnight."

……

In the moving luxury van, the Zheng father and son sat in the back, both somewhat intoxicated.

"Dad~" Zheng Jun suddenly spoke up, "How about we do the development ourselves? Several of my classmates come from families in this business, so we can get the framework up and running quickly..."

Zheng Hong glanced at his son, shook his head, and sighed, "You're still too naive. You've only just graduated and you're already thinking you can fly? We don't have any connections in Jiangcheng. Development isn't that easy."

"However, it seems a bit unreliable that Lin Baoyi's property speculation team hired such a young consultant."

Zheng Jun scoffed, "Unreliable? I think he's a complete fraud. Lin Baoyi is getting worse and worse..."

Hearing this, Zheng Hong became even more displeased: "Xiao Jun, don't think too highly of yourself. You've only met him once. Although he's young, his demeanor in public is much better than yours."

"Okay, let's not rush to invest money. If Lin Baoyi goes to look at the project recently, you can go with him and see what the situation is like before we decide."

Feeling a bit aggrieved by his father's words, Zheng Jun muttered, "What's so interesting about it?"

"Just go when I tell you to!"

Zheng Hong gave a stern shout, which silenced Zheng Jun, but he was still unconvinced.

In his mind, Chen Yuanzhou was just a lucky guy who got lucky and followed Lin Baoyi to freeload...
