Chapter 570: 220 Million to Buy Land

After signing the contract, Luosen personally drove Chen Yang and Shen Anna to look at that plot of land in Heaven River District.

Chen Yang took a look. The location was not bad, lying within Pearl River New City, with a total area of ten thousand square meters.

Compared to other areas in Heaven River District, the price of two hundred million was a bit steep, but expensiveness had its advantages. After all, this was the district where future Goat City property prices would be the highest. Property prices there could generally sell for one hundred thousand per square meter, reaching as high as three hundred thousand per square meter.

Chen Yang even heard a rumor that a certain celebrity couple from Hong Kong had spent one hundred million buying a house in Pearl River New City.

However, hearing that Chen Yang wanted to buy the land, the other party directly quoted two hundred fifty million, which was fifty million higher than what Luosen had previously said.

This price made Shen Anna very dissatisfied; she immediately advised Chen Yang to abandon the negotiations.

"Boss, the land price here is already inflated a lot, and they're still raising the price on the spot—I think we should just forget it!"

Chen Yang also felt it was a bit pricey, but he was reluctant to give up such a good location. So he suggested having Luosen invite the other party out for a talk.

Luosen then called the other party to communicate a bit, after which he brought Chen Yang and Shen Anna to a private club called Lingering Fragrance Pavilion near that plot of land.

What surprised Chen Yang was that the landowner was a very young-looking beautiful woman. She was 1.7 meters tall, dressed in foreign brand clothing, and exuded an unapproachable coldness.

Luosen enthusiastically introduced to Chen Yang: "Director Chen, this is Chu Ning, the owner of Lingering Fragrance Pavilion."

Chen Yang froze for a moment; the name "Chu Liuxiang" was too familiar to him. For a while he couldn't tell whether the person before him was a descendant of Chu Liuxiang or a fan of Chu Liuxiang.

"Director Chen, do I have flowers on my face?" Chu Ning saw Chen Yang staring blankly at her and became slightly displeased.

Chen Yang realized he had been a bit rude, laughed and explained: "Chu Boss, don't be angry; your club reminded me of a protagonist from the great writer Gu Long's works. So I just zoned out unintentionally."

Upon hearing this, Chu Ning's expression eased a little. She said solemnly: "My Lingering Fragrance Pavilion has nothing to do with the Chu Liuxiang you mentioned. I also don't like the playboyish Chu Liuxiang."

Chen Yang didn't care whether she liked or disliked Chu Liuxiang; he was more concerned about the land's price.

"Miss Chu, could you sell that plot of land to me at a lower price?"

"Aren't you the richest person? You can't even come up with fifty million?" Chu Ning gave Chen Yang a slightly contemptuous look, showing no intention to concede.

Chen Yang thought her logic was flawed and wryly said: "Miss Chu, whether I'm the richest person or not isn't really related to how much your land is worth."

"There really isn't much connection..." Chu Ning snorted coldly: "But I have the right to decide who to sell to. If you don't give two hundred fifty million, I won't sell it to you."

Chen Yang helplessly held up two fingers: "I can at most add twenty million; otherwise, forget it."

Luosen, worried the negotiation would fail, also chimed in: "Chu Ning, just agree to him; worst case, I'll waive my introduction fee."

"Is that what you said?" Seeing Luosen waive the introduction fee, Chu Ning coldly reminded him: "With your shabby real estate company, you might not even earn twenty million in a year."

Luosen put on a generous smile: "Making friends with someone like Director Chen makes that introduction fee insignificant."

Chu Ning glared fiercely at Luosen. However, she didn't say much more and finally agreed to Chen Yang's offer,

Just as when purchasing Luosen's commercial building, Chen Yang again chose to use funds from the Ordinary People's Financial Investment Company to buy Chu Ning's plot of land.

After signing the contract, Chu Ning asked Chen Yang: "You guys are a company selling agricultural products; spending such a huge sum to buy land—isn't that too extravagant?"

Chen Yang immediately corrected her view: "Miss Chu, buying the land is an investment activity of the Ordinary People's Financial Investment Company, unrelated to the agricultural products trading company."

"Hehe, it's all your money; do whatever you want with it. I can't control it either."

Chu Ning finished speaking, stood up, and went to her own office.

After she left, Luosen immediately whispered to Chen Yang: "Director Chen, could the construction work on this plot be entrusted to our Three Wood Real Estate?"

Chen Yang asked him: "Director Luo, I plan to build a super-high-rise commercial building here. Can your company handle it?"

Upon hearing this, Luosen immediately became torn. Their company was a newly established real estate firm; handling small projects was definitely no problem, but super-high-rise buildings were somewhat beyond their capabilities...

"General Manager Chen, could you give us a chance to try?"

Chen Yang worried he might act recklessly and reminded: "Director Luo, I'm not in a rush to develop this project. If you really want to take it on, I can give you enough time to recruit troops and buy horses."

Seeing Chen Yang insist on raising the standards, Luosen could only accept the suggestion.

After returning to the hotel, Shen Anna suggested Chen Yang stay longer in Goat City to help Ouyang Sheng settle the preliminary layout of the branch office. Then she packed her luggage alone and returned to Xingcheng.

After she left, Chen Yang began to slack off. He handed the work over to Ouyang Sheng and his wife to handle, while he himself hid in the hotel to trade stocks.

Yun City Biotech's stock earned Chen Yang a total of forty million. After liquidating, Chen Yang no longer operated the stock account of Heavenly Opening Pharmaceutical Ltd., but instead opened his own long-dormant personal account.

Purchasing the land and the commercial building together cost three hundred million; he needed to make up some of that in the stock market.

Chen Yang's enthusiasm for pharmaceutical stocks hadn't faded; he put all the funds in his personal account into pharmaceutical stocks other than Heavenly Opening Pharmaceutical and Yun City Biotech.

After building his position, Chen Yang suddenly received a call from Chu Ning asking him to come to Lingering Fragrance Pavilion for a visit.

Chen Yang didn't have a good impression of that cold beauty. But since it was on her turf, after weighing the pros and cons, he still decided to attend the meeting.

To avoid an awkward silence, Chen Yang again called Luosen to come over as well.

Seeing Luosen and Chen Yang arrive together, Chu Ning didn't have much objection either.

"Director Chen, I heard you're good at stock trading?"

"Not bad, making a little money is no problem."

Chen Yang immediately guessed her intention. Most likely she wanted him to act as a stock agent.

However, this woman had overcharged him by twenty million when selling the land by raising the price on the spot; now she also wanted him to help manage stock trading—wasn't that a bit presumptuous?

"Chen Yang, I heard your company has a stock agency business; how do you charge?"

Upon hearing that, Chen Yang indeed realized she wanted him to act as a stock agent, and directly said: "The company takes ten percent, I personally take twenty percent."

Upon hearing this, Chu Ning's expression turned slightly displeased: "Why is your agency fee so high? Are you guaranteeing wins?"

Chen Yang feigned difficulty: "Stock market fluctuations are unpredictable; there's no guarantee of winning. At most we can only improve the odds of winning."

Upon hearing this, Chu Ning immediately became hesitant. She had heard that Chen Yang was the China stock god, which sparked her idea to invest in stocks.

Unexpectedly, Chen Yang not only couldn't guarantee a win rate, but also demanded a high twenty percent agency fee. This was clearly trying to make her a sucker!
