Pluck the Plump Ones!

Lin Xiaoxi has a very keen sense of intuition!

And it's quite accurate—in the eyes of many real estate developers and even some high-ranking officials, it seems like the Shaqiao Village area is suddenly going to undergo redevelopment and planning.

But they don't know the deeper reasons.

Even the core leadership team in the provincial capital only knew that this was an instruction from above.

The sudden renovation plan was to resettle the people who were relocated from the Bagua Continent.

The preliminary preparations went very smoothly.

In recent years, various demolition and relocation policies have become quite comprehensive. Countless people in China who were originally from the lower classes have become rich overnight due to demolition and relocation, creating one myth after another of grassroots rise to wealth. Therefore, the residents of the Bagua Continent were quite happy when they heard that demolition was going to take place. All that was left was to negotiate with the project team to get more benefits for themselves.

However, their plan didn't work out so easily.

The establishment of the Spiritual Research Academy is imminent, presenting a golden opportunity for China to establish unified standards.

How could we allow a group of people blinded by self-interest to ruin this opportunity?

Therefore, the Wallfacers actually used the power of the Extraordinary Ones when negotiating the demolition compensation.

Under the supervision of members of the Wallfacer Organization's internal Supervisory Department, individuals skilled in mind control and guidance have conducted a certain degree of "guidance" on a segment of the population.

It sounds rather shameless.

However, the compensation offered above is very adequate and reasonable.

—A family with multiple children is requesting that each of their children and elderly parents be provided with an apartment, plus 500,000 yuan in cash for each person.

That means six houses plus 3.5 million yuan in cash...

This would be considered a comfortable standard of living by the elites on Zhihu!

This wasn't an isolated incident; they even started rallying residents to demand exorbitant prices! Otherwise, they wouldn't demolish the building! Their thinking was indeed vicious.

My family's refusal to demolish might be insignificant, but what if many others refuse to do the same? So, it's best to unite with other households and demand a higher price; after all, nobody wants to lose money. It also avoids being isolated by higher authorities. There was a case in one area where a holdout refused to demolish, forcing the construction company to bypass them entirely, circling the elevated highway around their property!

The last family got nothing and, unable to bear the noise pollution any longer, filed a lawsuit, but to no avail, and eventually moved away in disgrace...

A residential building nestled within an elevated road is quite unique.

But if that "uniqueness" were to fall on my own head, it would be a joke.

So everyone has become shrewd...

Of course, the construction company is also familiar with these tactics. It's only a matter of time before they win over some people and suppress others, dividing them up among themselves.

But the Wallfacers and the Spiritual Research Academy can't afford to wait.

Therefore, they directly dispatched extraordinary individuals...

This can't be called dirty; it's just that more methods have been used in the process of development.

The land for the resettlement community has now been planned and bidding has begun. After deducting the resettlement of the Bagua Continent residents, a considerable amount of housing units can be saved for resale.

There's definitely money to be made at this juncture, but how you make it depends on your individual skills!

But Lin Xiaoxi just happened to set her sights on real estate during this period! Li Yao asked in surprise, "Can't you tell me how you got into real estate?"

Lin Xiaoxi said proudly, "Didn't I develop a mystical society recently? There are some very wealthy people in it, and when we talk, we also discuss some good investment opportunities. If you're interested, you can do it together. I've also talked to your roommate surnamed Cao, and he thinks it's feasible! Aren't I amazing?!"

Li Yao: "..."

Cao Family were originally real estate tycoons in the provincial capital.

However, he was determined to break free from his Dad's influence and also disliked real estate, so he did not get involved in that business.

I never expected Lin Xiaoxi to go into this field! But it seems she just wants to take a gamble and doesn't want to stay in the real estate industry.

After all, even Hong Kong's Old Li and Wang Yiyi have fled the industry one after another. Those who are left either want to gamble again or have already run out of options.

After reaping the benefits of buying houses, the next step is to fleece people through taxes.

Holding a large number of vacant properties is not a wise choice.

Even so,

There are also quite a few cunning speculators who are holding large sums of money and preparing to reap the benefits of others.

There's always someone willing to take over.

After thinking for a while, Li Yao said, "I won't lend you this money; consider it an investment."

Lin Xiaoxi smiled and said, "Sure!"

This way, not only will her own strength be enhanced, but she will also not have to repay Li Da Yao's money, which will greatly reduce her pressure!

Li Yao instructed, "If you want to make money, then be ruthless. Don't even think about selling houses properly. Once you acquire the land, I'll have some friends spread the word to attract speculators to sell houses in bulk and quickly recoup your funds. You'll have to cooperate with that."

Lin Xiaoxi was stunned. "Isn't that a planning task over there? I get the feeling you're planning to just shoot and run?"

I, Lin Hundred Million, just want to do business legitimately, okay!

Li Yao rolled his eyes.

What kind of plans do you expect for the area surrounding the resettlement community?

Large supermarkets?

A gymnasium? A school?

The provincial capital has all of these, and its regional functions are already clearly defined.

At most, we'll build some small shopping malls to make life more convenient for the surrounding area, but we can forget about anything else... After all, even the landlords don't have any surplus grain right now.

If there were plenty of surplus grain, would Li Yao have had to spend so much money? Although the money was spent wisely, the returns in the later stages were quite considerable.

But at this stage, Li Yao is truly broke!

He didn't even have the money to buy his best friend Particle Acceleration Weapon, so he was just trying to earn back whatever he could.

After saying this, Li Yao reminded him, "I'm just telling you this, don't spread it around. If word gets out, we'll all lose money!"

Lin Xiaoxi: "()..."

She clicked her tongue and said, "Li Yao, you've really changed."

They've become so cunning! So underhanded!

Li Yao slapped the guy on the head. "Otherwise, how are we going to make money at this stage? When it comes to fleecing, we have to target the biggest ones!"

Lin Xiaoxi: "You hit me on the head!"

If you break such a smart and good-looking head, will you compensate me?

She jumped up, ready to rush over and bite Li Yao to death, just then the SUV stopped. Li Yao pressed her forehead down and pushed her back down, scolding her, "Behave yourself and get ready to get out of the car! Your sister Chen Xi is conducting a defense drill in this area."

After saying that, Li Yao jumped out of the car, Lin Xiaoxi followed closely behind.

She got out of the car and looked around. "Where is she? Where is my sister Chen Xi?"

soon,

A soft exclamation came from the nearby woods. "Xiaoxi, what brings you here?"

That was Chen Xi's voice.

As soon as Chen Xi's voice rang out, several more sounds came from the forest! The sounds were like a black panther moving through the forest, its movements clean and swift, its sounds subtle and rapid—and there was even a hint of killing intent hidden within them.

Chen Xi immediately apologized, "Xiaoxi, wait for me a moment."
