After Pretending To Lose All My Money, I Learn Of Human's True Nature

87 I Want This Plot of Land

Sang Yan frowned and said, “I heard that the seller is eccentric and isn’t easy to negotiate with. This plot of land is still being listed and is not very popular. We can wait for other listings.”

Jiang Feng’s second uncle pointed at another area. “What about this one? New Street 1-2. It’s in a relatively remote place in the central region’s Zhongyuan District. This plot of land is considered a waste. There’s more bad news than good news on the Internet about it. I heard that the company is in a rush to sell it. We can take a gamble and wait for it.”

Sang Yan chimed in, “I heard about this plot of land as well. Despite the cons, there’s a residential area nearby. The subway line might pass through this place. We can indeed take a gamble.”

Then, Sang Yan looked at Jiang Feng and asked, “Little Feng, do you have any ideas?”

!!

Jiang Feng’s second uncle became spirited upon hearing this. He asked, “That’s right. Do you have any plots of land you feel optimistic about? Otherwise, we can continue to discuss which plot of land to buy first.”

“Now that the subway line is about to be announced, this is our opportunity. However, it’s also because of this, that everyone’s waiting for the announcement. They won’t sell easily unless their finances are in dire straits,” Sang Yan said, looking troubled.

It was not a good time to buy land now. If there were still a long time to go before the subway line announcement, it would have been easier to buy the land they wanted. However, as it was now, the owners of the land definitely would not be too willing to sell.

“There’s always a solution to every problem. We don’t have to buy land with good terrain. We can choose a remote piece of land. This way, we’ll have more advantages during the negotiation. After all, plots of land in remote areas carry high risks as well. As such, owners will be more willing to sell,” Jiang Feng’s second uncle said. The gloomy atmosphere from before was gone.

Sang Yan nodded with a solemn expression. He understood the current situation very well. The situation was not good, and it was a difficult time to choose a good plot of land. They had to be very careful during the selection.

Jiang Feng remained noncommittal. He looked at the map, and after pondering for a moment, he said, “I’ve already looked at the plot of land, and I have an understanding of the situation.” Then, he pointed at an area and said, “Like I said before, let’s take this plot, Dongjiang F12.”

Jiang Feng’s second uncle and Sang Yan were stunned when they saw the land that Jiang Feng pointed at. This was because out of so many plots of land, Jiang Feng had chosen the one that no one wanted.

The one good thing about this plot of land was that no one wanted it so they did not have to worry about being unable to buy it. However, it also meant that it was not profitable. It was obvious that they would lose money if they bought this plot of land. If Jiang Feng bought this plot of land, it was tantamount to jumping into a fire pit. Once he bought this plot of land, it would be difficult to sell it. Was it not asking for trouble? Rumors were rampant in the industry about the plot of land being in an undesirable location. There was nothing special about it at all. Some experts in the industry had even stepped forward to say that there was zero possibility of making money from this plot of land.

Jiang Feng’s second uncle and Sang Yan were perplexed.

Jiang Feng had just entered the real estate industry. As such, he should have brushed up on his knowledge and heard the news in the industry. Why did he choose this piece of land, and what was he trying to do? If it were them, they would rather choose any other piece of land than this one. This plot of land was hopeless and useless. Why did this piece of land catch Jiang Feng’s attention?

Jiang Feng’s second uncle stammered, still in shock, “Little Feng, a-are you sure?”

Jiang Feng’s second uncle felt that Jiang Feng had lost his mind.

Jiang Feng naturally understood the duo’s concerns. However, he said resolutely, “Second Uncle, I’m sure.”

Jiang Feng had researched this plot of land. Indeed, there were many negative opinions about it. As such, it was very easy to buy this plot of land. He would have the upper hand when negotiating with the owner. Perhaps, he did not even need to convince the owner to sell it.

Sang Yan did not know whether to laugh or cry. He said, “Little Feng, this plot of land is indeed easy to buy. However, it won’t make you any money. The general public isn’t optimistic about this plot of land at all. That aside, just look at the area. No matter from which angle you look at it, the subway line definitely won’t pass through this place.”

Sang Yan continued to say, “There’s an underground water system nearby. If the subway line runs through the area, it might affect the underground water system. The government definitely won’t allow the subway line to pass through this place. It’ll be for naught if we buy this land.”

At the same time, Sang Yan sighed inwardly. ‘This child is too impulsive. He didn’t think things through. There’s a reason why so many people think the plot of land is bad. If he insists on buying it, I’m afraid he’s going to suffer a great loss for sure.’

Nonetheless, Sang Yan and Jiang Feng’s second uncle did not doubt Jiang Feng’s capability, and they were not worried that he would be led astray. They would just have to guide him more in the future. They thought that he was young and bold. It was not a bad thing to be bold and ambitious. Moreover, they did not doubt his capability. After all, he had earned quite a lot of money. Perhaps, he might give them a pleasant surprise in the future.

Jiang Feng looked at the duo and said, brimming with confidence, “Uncle Sang Yan, Second Uncle, you have to trust me. This is the place. I don’t think I’m making a mistake.”

Jiang Feng’s idea was very simple. His funds were too little. Compared to those big shots, his funds were just like a drop in the bucket. He could not afford to buy those plots of land with good terrains and locations that were in high demand, and he could not compete with those big shots. He did not have billions to spare now. Hence, he did not plan to obtain those plots of land at all. His plan was to obtain a plot of land that would be the exit of one of the subway stations.

Jiang Feng’s second uncle fell into a daze as he looked at Jiang Feng and recalled memories of his youth. Back then, when he was in his twenties, he was also like Jiang Feng. He was filled with confidence and had high spirits. He was bold due to his youth. He did not care about what others said, and he only believed in his own knowledge. His actions became a topic for many people at that time. He even boldly refuted his boss’ opinion and said that his boss was wrong. Although he faced many obstacles and surprises, there were many times when his decisions were proven right as well. Young people needed experience to grow. Too much interference would only hinder young people’s growth. Sometimes, what young people needed was support.

Jiang Feng’s second uncle thought that perhaps he should support Jiang Feng. After all, he was old now, and many of his ideas and opinions were outdated. He could only judge based on his past experience. Moreover, news and information about this plot of land were so bad that the owner was likely to be in a hurry to sell it. It was impossible for the owner to raise the price. At most, they would lose a little money; it was not a big deal to lose that amount of money in exchange for Jiang Feng’s growth and experience.

After giving more thought to it, Jiang Feng’s second uncle began to think buying this plot of land was rather beneficial. The plot of land was unpopular so they would not lose much money. Moreover, their funds were not borrowed.

Sang Yan was still stunned. He did not expect the young man in front of him to be so confident. Despite the public opinion, Jiang Feng still stood firmly by his opinion. He wondered what gave Jiang Feng the confidence to be so determined.

Sang Yan shared the same thoughts as Jiang Feng’s second uncle. This plot of land did not amount to much. It could not even be considered a small gamble. It was a small price to pay for Jiang Feng to learn his lesson.
