Chapter 282

Yet he did not do so; until now, none of his overseas cash had made any profit in the stock market.

He had basically maintained the stability of his funds.

Therefore, he had absolutely no interest in the private equity fund Zhou Liang mentioned.

Finally, after both parties discussed the housing price,

Zhou Liang stated he could sell this Tan Gong property to Lin Yi for a minimum of 175,000 per square meter.

"I'll just consider it making friends with you, President Lin!"

Zhou Liang said.

Although purchasing such a large house generally did not require an on-the-spot decision,

and judging by this Zhou Liang, Lin Yi estimated that if he waited, the price could still be negotiated down considerably,

yet for him, who did not lack this bit of money,

he truly had no mood to haggle over a few thousand yuan per square meter.

Thus, Lin Yi made an offer on the spot:

"170,000. If that works, we can transfer the title with full payment this afternoon!"

"President Lin, at this price... alright... I'll just accept the loss!"

Zhou Liang put on an act of suffering a great loss.

However, in reality, when he purchased it back in '05, this house cost only 100 million yuan, calculating to about 60,000 per square meter.

But now, with a single resale, he effectively earned nearly 200 million yuan.

No matter how one calculated it, he did not suffer a loss.

Therefore, after both parties agreed,

they went to the Real Estate Bureau that afternoon.

Of course, given Lin Yi's status, he would certainly not cut out the agent like some minor celebrities did;

although that young agent only received a 0.8 percent commission, he still earned around 2.4 million yuan in agency fees.

One could say that this single transaction earned him more than dozens of deals he would handle in Magic City,

especially since the buyer basically secured the house immediately, requiring hardly any effort or persuasion from him.

For an agent, a deal of this magnitude was something he might not encounter in several years.

This time, he just happened to stumble upon one.

After Lin Yi lavishly spent 300 million yuan, the house became his.

Beyond that, Lin Yi waved his hand generously

and spent nearly 10 million yuan for each of the three women to purchase three off-plan apartments of one hundred square meters each at No. 1 Xuhui Park Road in Magic City.

This served as a gift for the three women.

After all, for the Maoming Mansion, he had already written Han Han Han Yajing's name on the property deed.

Naturally, it was inappropriate to write four names on the deed for this Tan Gong house all at once.

Therefore, to keep the water level even, Lin Yi simply gave each of them a suite.

Chapter 211: The Hurun Rich List Released! A Dazzling Ranking!

Regarding Lin Yi's arrangement, although Li Li Xueying felt somewhat disappointed in her heart,

after all, she had hoped to become the mistress of this house.

However, she also knew that such matters could not be rushed.

At the same time, she understood Lin Yi's intention, which was to keep the water level as even as possible.

Otherwise, even in a harmonious harem, conflicts would arise.

Nevertheless, Li Li Xueying thought again; regardless, she would move in first and deal with the rest later.

Future matters could be addressed in the future.

As long as Bai Bai Jie and Tang Tang Chuyu stood on her side, she would still exist here as a figure akin to the mistress.

Because the property management of this villa district provided butler services,

Lin Yi directly called the property management, asking them to send personnel to replace certain items inside the rooms.

Although everything in this Tan Gong villa was maintained in good condition,

some things still needed to be replaced entirely.

For instance, the bathroom fixtures, sofas, indoor and outdoor dual swimming pools, toilets, fitness equipment, various bedding, and so on;

regarding these, he had no habit of using other people's belongings.

Even though Zhou Liang, the private equity operator, claimed

that he spent little time domestically each year,

according to estimates, replacing these items would take at least a week and cost nearly 1.8 million yuan.

In response, Lin Yi directly transferred three million yuan.

The remainder was set aside for the next year's property management fee, which amounted to exactly 1.2 million yuan annually.

By evening, Lin Yi took the three women to Tang Court at the Langham Hotel in Xintiandi.

Having purchased Magic City's most luxurious residence that day, the three women were undoubtedly very happy.

Whether it was Li Li Xueying, Bai Bai Jie, or Tang Tang Chuyu, just thinking about sitting in a house like a palace in the future filled their hearts with delight.

This was not to say that the three women were overly materialistic;

in fact, beauties like them had been pursued by countless second-generation rich heirs during their university years.

Yet they had all resisted the temptation and rejected them.

It was evident that their willingness to follow Lin Yi was not solely due to money.

Lin Yi had conquered them in every aspect, which was why they were content with a life of three women sharing one husband.

"Boss, does that mean we can move in next week?"

Tang Tang Chuyu, with her hair tied in a neat, single ponytail and looking as petite as a high schooler from a first love story, smiled as she served the dishes.

"Mm, yes. By then, you can live in the bedroom you chose!"

Lin Yi replied with a smile.

Instantly, a look of longing appeared on Tang Tang Chuyu's small face.

Growing up, she and her sister had been squeezed into a room of only eight or nine square meters,

while their half-brother enjoyed a room all to himself.

To say she wasn't envious would be a lie.

But this brother was the only male heir in the family,

deeply doted upon by their father and stepmother.

Therefore, Tang Tang Chuyu never felt she could compete with him for anything.

Fortunately, although this brother was unfortunate in his studies, he was not a bad person; instead, he protected his two older sisters.

Otherwise, life for her and her sister would have been even more miserable.

Yet, who could have imagined that now, she, Tang Tang Chuyu, would come to study in Modu, secure an internship at Fengyi Technology,

and thus change her destiny forever?

She had met two older sisters who treated her exceptionally well,

developed a connection with the big boss, and would soon live in Modu's most luxurious mansion,

where even her single bedroom would span over a hundred square meters,

complete with a private walk-in closet and bathroom.

The other functions of the entire villa offered luxuries beyond one's wildest imagination.

Moreover, the big boss planned to hire at least three live-in maids, a female chef, a gardener, and more.

In the future, wouldn't this amount to a life where food was delivered to her mouth and clothes were put on her body?

Although somewhat extravagant, Tang Tang Chuyu found herself greatly looking forward to it.

In fact, similar to her,

Bai Bai Jie felt she had suddenly stepped into the lifestyle of a noble lady.

Although the relationship between her, Tang Tang Chuyu, Li Li Xueying, and the boss was somewhat difficult to articulate,

putting that aside, living in a grand mansion and driving luxury cars...
