Chapter 61: I Analyzed It!

After picking up Shen Fei, Jiang Tiancheng had a long face, looking quite upset.

“Fei Ge, I’m sorry!”

“The old man has been a city official his whole life, so he might speak with a bit of an official tone. Please don’t take it personally!”

“By the way, I didn’t mention that I also made thirty million from shorting the Kong Group! Don’t let it slip later!”

At this moment, Jiang Tiancheng seemed like an overprotective mother, repeatedly reminding him while driving.

“Alright, alright, you’ve been nagging the whole way, I’ve got it memorized!”

Shen Fei gave Jiang Tiancheng an exasperated look, his tone full of disdain.

“I’m just nervous,” Jiang Tiancheng responded.

When they arrived at the destination, Jiang Tiancheng finally patted his chest and said, “This isn’t the first time I’m bringing a friend to meet the old man, so I’m a little scared!”

Shen Fei didn’t pay attention to Jiang Tiancheng, getting out of the car and waiting for Jiang Tiancheng to lead the way.

Seeing Shen Fei so unflustered, Jiang Tiancheng took a deep breath and quickly walked ahead, leading the way.

Jiang family villa.

The villa had been around for over a hundred years, and everything inside was meticulously maintained.

At the end of a winding path, there was a trellis covered with greenery.

At one corner of the trellis stood an elderly man, vigorously watering the surrounding plants with great focus.

“Grandpa, I brought him!”

Jiang Tiancheng said respectfully.

“Mm! I know! Little Shen, wait for me for a bit!”

Jiang Anbang stopped what he was doing, turned around, and looked Shen Fei up and down, smiling kindly.

Having been an official his whole life, even with a smile on his face, there was still an aura of authority that came naturally from Jiang Anbang.

It was the kind of presence that made it clear he wasn’t from an ordinary family.

“Fei Ge, after the old man retired, he likes to plant flowers and take care of plants, saying it’s to cultivate his character! Honestly, these plants aren’t worth much! Yet he cares about them more than he does about me!”

Jiang Tiancheng complained, though his tone was calm.

He wasn’t actually complaining, but rather trying to ease Shen Fei’s nerves.

Shen Fei smiled faintly and said, “It’s good for the elderly to have hobbies.”

After that, he fell silent, not offering any compliments or engaging with Jiang Anbang. He simply quietly watched as the old man worked.

Ten minutes later.

Jiang Anbang finally stopped working, looking satisfied.

“Little Shen, sorry for the wait! Come, come, the grape trellis is much cooler!”

“Alright, it is quite cool.”

Shen Fei didn’t hesitate and took a seat without further ado.

Jiang Anbang removed his gloves, washed his hands, and then slowly came over to Shen Fei.

Seeing Jiang Tiancheng, he paused for a moment.

“You fool, why are you still here? Don’t you need to go to work?”

“Huh? But…”

Jiang Tiancheng was a bit stunned.

He had brought someone over, and now he was being treated like an outsider?

Besides, he already knew all the details—what was left to hide?

“What do you mean? Go to work and make money for me! I’ll have Uncle Wang take Little Shen back later!”

Jiang Anbang instructed.

“Grandpa, this isn’t right! You’re making him work like this!”

Jiang Tiancheng said, feigning injury.

“What’s wrong with it? Go on, go!” Jiang Anbang said impatiently.

“Fei Ge, you… I…,” Jiang Tiancheng looked at Shen Fei, at a loss for words.

“The old man said it, so why don’t you go make money?” Shen Fei said lightly.

“Fine!” Jiang Tiancheng glared at the old man, grumbled under his breath, and walked off.

He really wanted to know what the old man and Shen Fei would discuss, but since the old man had kicked him out, he had no choice but to leave for now.

As soon as Jiang Tiancheng left, Jiang Anbang turned to Shen Fei.

“This is freshly brewed Biluochun tea, try it, Little Shen!”

Jiang Anbang poured a cup and handed it to Shen Fei.

Shen Fei nodded slightly, took the cup, and took a sip.

He intentionally pushed all thoughts of tea ceremonies out of his mind.

“Not bad.”

He simply said two words, then went straight to the point without any pleasantries, “Old man, you had Tiancheng bring me here—what do you want to talk to me about?”

Upon hearing this, Jiang Anbang chuckled and began to speak.

“Alright! Little Shen, Tiancheng told me about the small luxury villa. Before this, why were you so sure that the price of the villa would skyrocket? You know, before the policy was announced, very few people knew about it!”

Since that day, Jiang Anbang had been thinking about this matter, but no matter how hard he tried, he couldn’t figure out the answer.

After all, the small luxury villa was in a very remote and dilapidated area.

Even business elites couldn’t have predicted that the government would choose that place for reform.

So how did Shen Fei know about it?

“Old man, if I tell you that I analyzed it, would you believe me?” Shen Fei asked.

His calm demeanor made Jiang Anbang pause.

Though he had retired for many years, he was still deeply respected by the people of Shenzhen.

This was the first time he’d met a young man who could remain so composed in front of him after learning of his identity.

“Go ahead, I’m all ears!” Jiang Anbang said.

Shen Fei adjusted his focus and explained.

“Shenzhen is the leader in domestic development. However, cities across the country are flourishing, and if Shenzhen wants to maintain its lead, it needs to innovate. Urban renovation is a good way to do that! Analyzing Shenzhen at a macro level, the only place that could be used for a pilot project is the small luxury villa!”

“But this reform is a first, and no one knows whether it will succeed. Therefore, the government must be very cautious! The location of the small luxury villa is strategically placed—it can be offensive or defensive…”

Shen Fei logically and systematically analyzed.

The more Jiang Anbang listened, the more serious he became.

This kind of insight didn’t seem like something a young person in his twenties could come up with!

Shen Fei continued, “The villa is in the eastern suburbs, it’s remote, and not to mention the mountain of garbage around it, it’s already affecting the city’s image!”

“Making it a pilot project for urban reform, if successful, it will be a great example for the development of Shenzhen! If it fails, it will just be a cleanup, with no major loss!”

“Also, didn’t the news say that when the city government was interviewing at the grassroots level, they passed by the area around the small luxury villa? That’s proof of my guess! So I went and paid the deposit for two properties! But what I didn’t expect was that the price skyrocketed five or six times! Far exceeding my expectations!”

After finishing, Shen Fei scratched the back of his head with an awkward smile.

This explanation was something he had come up with last night specifically to address Jiang Anbang, and it was reasonable and convincing!
