Chapter 65: Li Family Village

At this moment, the television was still discussing the project of the Qiankun Group.

Regarding the site for the upcoming soccer stadium, Qiankun Group did not choose a location in downtown Shenshi, but instead selected a remote suburban area about forty kilometers from the city. This location is the intersection of surrounding cities and Shenshi.

The area is remote, and the transportation is inconvenient—this is its major drawback.

As soon as Qiankun Group announced the construction plans, it immediately drew mockery from soccer enthusiasts. After all, people watch soccer because of their passion, but they wouldn’t choose a remote and troublesome location for a soccer field just for the love of the game!

However, when the news came out that Metro Line 5 will pass through the area, it immediately became a hot topic among Shenshi residents. The new subway line not only provides quick and easy access for city dwellers to watch soccer games, but it also greatly benefits residents of the surrounding cities.

This development will boost the economic growth of Shenshi and surrounding areas, and in the long run, make Shenshi the leading city in the country.

In just a few years, with the operation of Shenshi and nearby cities, this area will become the most prosperous district in Shenshi.

But at the same time, the villagers who had lived there for decades deeply regretted their decision. Before the construction, their land and houses were fully expropriated by Qiankun Group at prices ranging from one and a half million to two million. At that time, they thought they had struck a big bargain, because the location was poor and the houses were self-built, and no one would want them even if they were given for free.

Now, they sold their properties for over a million, which made them quite happy. But when the news about the Metro Line 5 construction came out, they were filled with regret. If they had hesitated for a few more days, the price of their properties could have tripled!

Taking a deep breath, Shen Fei stopped his thoughts and glanced at the date on the wall—July 25th.

He clearly remembered that Qiankun Group sent people to acquire the land on August 2nd. There was still a week to go.

This gave him enough time.

When the time came, he would act first and then resell the land to Qiankun Group, making a profit. At the very least, he could make several times the return!

“I hope the inspection office moves quickly and decisively. Otherwise, I’ll have to pull out early,” Shen Fei muttered.

All his money was currently invested in shorting Kongshi Group’s Hong Kong stocks. But he didn’t regret it, because he was confident in his own judgment.

If he went to acquire the land now, he could probably only secure a dozen plots. But after this issue with Kongshi Group, he would be able to acquire at least thirty plots!

Later, he could resell the land to Qiankun Group, and his assets would multiply by ten times!

No matter how he chose, the latter option was better!

Without hesitation, Shen Fei immediately left the house.

“Head to Li Family Village!”

As he looked at the scenery retreating outside the window, he realized for the first time that he needed to buy a car. It was just too inconvenient otherwise!

An hour and a half later.

Li Family Village.

From a distance, it looked like a huge garbage heap. The location was remote, and the environment was very poor, dilapidated even.

It was worse than the surrounding area of Xiao Haoting.

In his past life, Qiankun Group had bought this place.

The poor environment made it easy for Qiankun Group to acquire all the land in the village.

Now it made sense.

“Master, who is in charge of this village?” Shen Fei stopped a hurried middle-aged man as he arrived at the village entrance.

“Who’s in charge? This village has a lot of people, and maintenance is mostly up to everyone’s conscience!” The middle-aged man glanced at Shen Fei impatiently before suddenly asking, “Why do you ask? Are you looking to rent a house or something else?”

“No, no! I just want to know if the people here are interested in selling their land! The entire land, that is!” Shen Fei said politely.

Upon hearing this, the middle-aged man became interested.

“You want to buy land in Li Family Village?”

However, he eyed Shen Fei with suspicion and amusement. Considering the environment and location of Li Family Village, it seemed like an unrealistic idea.

Anyone with a normal mind wouldn’t choose to buy property here.

There had been people in the past who tried to sell their self-built houses online, hoping to make a profit using Shenshi’s name. But after so much time, very few people even inquired about them.

Since then, no one had bothered.

“Yes, that’s right! Our boss wants to build a factory here, but he said I should find somewhere cheap in Shenshi. After thinking it over, Li Family Village was the only choice!” Shen Fei said seriously, as if it was all true.

“A factory? Does that mean…?”

Hearing this, the middle-aged man’s eyes lit up.

The people of Li Family Village had long been fed up with the situation, but they didn’t have the money to buy property elsewhere, so they were stuck here.

Now, someone had come to buy up the whole village… this was like a windfall falling from the sky!

“Yes! Just as you guessed! I want to buy the entire village!” Shen Fei nodded.

“This…”

The middle-aged man hesitated for a moment before asking doubtfully, “How much can you offer per household?”

Shen Fei pretended to survey the village and quietly said, “It all depends on the building area per household!”

“Well, that’s easy to talk about!” The middle-aged man said confidently.

“The construction area of these houses is basically fixed. Most of them are around 130 square meters, some have three floors, some two floors.”

As soon as the words left his mouth, Shen Fei fell into deep thought.

After a long pause, he finally spoke.

“Well, that’s easy to deal with! You’re the first person I’ve encountered, so I won’t give you the runaround.”

“For a three-story house, 1.2 million. For a two-story house, 1 million.”

The middle-aged man stared in disbelief, his eyes wide open. Looking at Shen Fei, his lips trembled.

“What? I didn’t hear wrong, did I? You’re offering 1 million for a two-story house? 1.2 million for a three-story house?”
