Wang Yi frowned slightly:
"Fire report, Hu Zixuan did it?"
No way, he should be busy in another province opening up channels for K-pop Fans, how would he have time to cause trouble?
Street office?
Not really, their salaries are all paid from the taxes Meiyou pays!
In the entire Great East Suburb, Meiyou is the only large enterprise.
As long as their brains aren't jammed, they wouldn't do something that harms others and themselves!
Who is it then?
The owner of the new five-story building next door?
Wang Yi suddenly remembered that old geezer who often glared at him, and couldn't help but walk to the window to look outside.
Sure enough, that guy was standing at the entrance, looking at the Meiyou Building.
Alright, it really is you, old geezer!
Is this because you resent me for not buying your office building, and are secretly causing trouble for me?
Sigh!
Alright, your office building, I bought it, and the demolition opportunity, I also seized it!
Originally, Wang Yi had planned to let the other party off, and not seize his demolition opportunity.
But this old geezer got a bit too arrogant and even caused trouble behind his back.
Well, excuse me then, Wang Yi can only satisfy him!
It just so happens that the Meiyou Building isn't big enough, I'll go acquire his building in a bit!
"Sining, it's fine. Our fire safety measures are all in place. Just cooperate with the investigation."
Wang Yi said with a smile.
After acquiring the Meiyou Building, Wang Yi had already made preparations.
Each floor has many fire extinguishers.
The fire hydrants all have water, so there's no fear of inspection.
Sure enough, the other party went around once, found no problems, and on the contrary, the fire safety measures were very thorough, so they left directly.
Wang Yi followed them out the door and indeed saw the old geezer watching the fire department leave, full of disappointment:
"That's it? Found nothing?"
"How could this happen!"
"It really is you!" A clear, cold voice suddenly rang out.
Yin Zhongyu was only focused on watching the fire department and didn't notice Wang Yi walking close, so he was startled.
"That's not true! Don't talk nonsense. I didn't report your fire safety issues."
"Oh? How do you know it's a fire safety issue? I didn't mention it. And you're still saying you didn't report it!"
Wang Yi spoke coldly, pressing closer step by step.
"I... I... You... What do you want to do? I'm telling you, don't mess around!"
Yin Zhongyu was already in the wrong and was caught, fearing Wang Yi would act.
"Hehe, coward."
Wang Yi sneered:
"Just because I didn't buy your office building, you glare at me, hold a grudge against me? Report me?"
Yin Zhongyu didn't speak, but the meaning was clear.
That's right, that's how it is.
Now his office building can't be rented out or sold, which is very frustrating.
He only felt that Wang Yi was blind, choosing not to buy his nearly new office building that was only built a few years ago, but instead insisting on buying the old, dilapidated office building from the street office!
Just because the street office's old, dilapidated building had an extra floor and was 200,000 cheaper than his!
Wang Yi sighed:
"Old brother Yin, there's no other way. Yours is 200,000 more expensive than theirs, so of course I'd buy the cheaper one. If you were a bit cheaper, I probably would have bought yours!"
"Really?"
"Really!"
"Alright, then I'll sell it to you cheap now, only 2.5 million!"
Yin Zhongyu understood clearly that Meiyou was growing bigger and bigger, with more and more people coming for interviews every day.
One office building was simply not enough; they still needed to buy more.
If Wang Yi didn't buy his, he would buy that new office building anyway, so he planned to lower the price by another 100,000!
Wang Yi looked troubled:
"Actually, this office building is already enough."
Yin Zhongyu's mouth twitched.
"Enough my ass," he thought.
It seemed the price still wasn't right!
"Boss Wang, let's be frank. I'll drop the price by another 50,000, 2.45 million. Will you take it?"
"2.45 million..."
Wang Yi thought for a moment. This was the bottom price.
Last time, at this price, he couldn't bear to sell!
He simply said:
"2.45 million is acceptable, but you have to guarantee that you won't cause me trouble again!"
"Don't worry, Boss Wang. You bought my building and helped me a lot. I wouldn't cause you trouble."
Yin Zhongyu beamed:
"To be honest, I'm preparing to go abroad."
"Oh? Why?"
Wang Yi was puzzled.
"It's all because of my son! Sigh!"
Yin Zhongyu sighed:
"That year, he didn't do well in the college entrance exam and couldn't get into an undergraduate program, so I sent him to study abroad. I wanted him to get a bit of 'gold plating' and attend a prestigious university. Then he could return as an 'overseas returnee' and use connections to get a good job."
"He finally graduated, but that kid didn't want to come back. He insisted on getting a green card abroad and working there!"
"To get a green card abroad, he has to buy a house and settle down! As his father, I could only scrape together money for him! I hoped that in a few years, he would come to his senses and come back."
"But this guy isn't coming back at all, and he even married a foreign wife. There's nothing we can do. My wife and I are old; we miss our son, and we miss our grandson! So we can only sell the house and emigrate there too!"
"I see, a deep love for your son!"
Wang Yi sighed, "You're already preparing to run away, how can I let you take advantage of a domestic demolition opportunity again?"
What a joke.
Wang Yi clapped Yin Zhongyu on the shoulder:
"You should have said so earlier! If I had known it was for your son, I would have bought your building no matter what!"
Yin Zhongyu: "!!!"
"Boss Wang, is that true?"
Yin Zhongyu became excited.
"True!"
"Great!"
Yin Zhongyu smiled:
"Coincidentally, I have three other houses nearby. Do you want to take them all?"
Wang Yi: "..."
Damn it, I was just being polite, and you actually took it seriously?
Wait, three houses, nearby...
Could it be the Financial Center demolition zone?
If it's the Financial Center demolition zone, the demolition freeze next year will include it along with the office building...
And since this old fellow is already planning to run away, this immense wealth, I, Wang, would be rude to decline.
"Three houses... you really think highly of me!"
Wang Yi sighed.
"Hehe, Boss Wang has a big business, and Meiyou is doing so well. Buying them all from me would be a piece of cake!"
Wang Yi sighed:
"I shouldn't have said so much, but since I have, let's go take a look!"
"Alright, let's go!"
Yin Zhongyu beamed with joy and quickly led Wang Yi to view the properties.
Indeed, it was right in the future core area of the Financial Center.
However, for now, they were all old four or five-story houses, and demolition wouldn't be frozen until next year.
"Three houses, two large and one small. The large ones are 140 square meters, and the small one is 120 square meters."
Yin Zhongyu introduced as he showed Wang Yi the houses:
"For the two large ones, my wife and I live in one, and the other is for my son as a bridal home. The small one is left as a gift for my grandson."
"Look at that bridal home, I've already decorated it. All good materials were used, and the furniture is new. It's just waiting for him to come back and get married!"
"But who would have thought, that brat didn't come back after going abroad! Even I have to go with him. There's nothing I can do; my son doesn't miss me, but I miss him!"
Yin Zhongyu, fearing Wang Yi wouldn't buy, played the emotional card of deep fatherly love again!
Wang Yi saw the location and the area and already planned to take them.
Although demolition here is half a year later than in the county town, the compensation is high.
How can county town demolition compare to the Financial Center?
Moreover, the other party was begging him to buy them; it would be awkward not to.
Wang Yi took a deep breath:
"If the price is right, I can consider it. It just so happens that I don't want to drive to the western county town every day; it's too far!"
"Suitable, it must be suitable!"
Yin Zhongyu beamed with joy:
"Let's be frank, this is a peri-urban area. New homes nearby are only 5,000 yuan per square meter. For my old houses, I'll give them to you at 4,000 per square meter!"
Wang Yi didn't reply.
New houses at 5,000, old and large at 4,000, isn't that normal?
Not cheap!
Yin Zhongyu's heart sank, fearing Wang Yi wouldn't agree, and said again:
"I'll also give you six ground parking spaces and three large 20-square-meter storage rooms!"
In these old communities, parking spaces are all on the ground and aren't worth much.
These days, in this location, three storage rooms aren't worth much either.
All added up, it's just over 100,000.
Wang Yi still didn't speak.
"How about this, then? Three houses totaling 400 square meters, plus six ground parking spaces, and three storage rooms, priced at 1.6 million. The office building is 2.45 million, making a total of 4.05 million! Let's round it down to 4 million!"
"Alright!"
Wang Yi agreed.
This deal, as it stood, was just generally cost-effective.
But after demolition, it would be a huge "true value"!
"Thank you, Boss Wang, thank you!"
Yin Zhongyu beamed with joy:
"Boss Wang, without further ado, shall we go transfer the ownership now? It just so happens, it's not off-work yet!"
"Alright!"
Wang Yi was quite speechless.
How badly did you want to run away?
Seriously!
But this demolition opportunity is mine.
Demolition compensation in the Financial Center, at least 15,000 per square meter, right?
Three houses totaling 400 square meters, that's 6 million!
Plus six parking spaces and three large storage rooms, it's probably just under 7 million!
A 1.55 million house, with 7 million in demolition compensation!
More than four times the return on investment, what a deal!
The two went directly to the real estate building and immediately handled the signing, transfer of ownership, and payment.
Since it was an all-cash transaction, the entire process was extraordinarily smooth.
Afterward, the two returned to the community to complete the property handover.
"Boss Wang, I really can't thank you enough!"
Yin Zhongyu said with a smile.
Wang Yi waved his hand:
"I should be thanking you!"
How could he not be grateful for this wave of demolition wealth?
"Haha, here are the keys, and all the furniture and stuff are yours. My wife and I will pack our things and go to the Imperial Capital tonight. Tomorrow, we'll transfer the money out, then transfer flights to go abroad!"
After all, they were about to run off, so why would they care about this furniture?
"I can tell you miss your son very much. Well, I wish you a smooth journey."
Wang Yi genuinely wished.
Don't ever come back!
And don't hear about the demolition and come back to cause trouble.
But since they've already emigrated, it shouldn't be a big problem.
The two packed their things and left quickly, still needing to rush to the Imperial Capital.
After only a few steps, Yin Zhongyu couldn't help but burst out laughing:
"Wang Yi is really such a good person! He bought our office building and three houses all at once, and it was a full payment!"
"Yes, he's really good. The price isn't high, but it's pretty decent."
His wife also said with a smile.
"Exactly! We sold all the houses. How great is it that we can go abroad to accompany our son and enjoy a peaceful life? We have something to look forward to in the future! Thank you, good man Wang Yi!"
Wang Yi stood upstairs, watching their receding figures, and laughed speechlessly:
"You are the good people!"
Suddenly owning three more houses, Wang Yi felt a bit dazed.
Especially the 140-square-meter bridal home, which was just renovated and never lived in, it would be perfect to live in for now.
However, the lock cylinders would need to be replaced.
Wang Yi went to the community supermarket and directly asked the store clerk:
"Excuse me, what kind of lock cylinders does our community use? I need C-grade ones!"
"It's this kind!"
Sun Jing immediately took out a C-grade lock cylinder:
"Handsome, 20 yuan each."
"Give me three!"
"Three... okay!"
Sun Jing was a bit surprised, but immediately retrieved them for Wang Yi.
Needing three lock cylinders meant that Wang Yi owned three houses!
Whose young master is this? He looks very unfamiliar!
No matter where you are, owning three houses means you're not a simple person!
"By the way, what kind of lock cylinders do the basements use? Give me three of those too!"
"This one!"
"And a screwdriver."
"Okay."
Wang Yi paid, then immediately took the lock cylinders and screwdriver to the basement.
Ten seconds to dismantle, thirty seconds to install, forty seconds, one lock cylinder was replaced.
All six lock cylinders were replaced, taking only a few minutes.
If a locksmith was hired to replace the lock cylinders, the lock cylinder + home visit fee + labor fee would be at least 200 yuan per lock.
Six would cost over a thousand.
Wang Yi replaced them himself, finished in a few minutes, costing a total of 125 yuan!
Although Wang Yi didn't care about spending an extra thousand yuan, he mainly disliked the hassle.
By the time a master would arrive, he would have already finished!
Of course, Wang Yi bought all these houses under his own name.
Even the office building, he would just rent it to Meiyou later.
The three million from mortgaging the office building, Wang Yi had never touched.
Selling clearance clothing brought in over 200,000 yuan daily, so after many days, it was also over 2 million yuan.
This meant Wang Yi's available funds would be 5.8 million yuan.
He spent 4 million on buying houses and the office building, leaving 1.8 million!
However, Meiyou still owed him 6-7 million that he had advanced.
As for the mortgage loan, there's no need to repay it, absolutely no need.
The monthly rent paid by Meiyou is enough to cover the interest.
What about the remaining 1.8 million?
Should he still buy the houses from the county town's November demolition?
If he were to buy, Wang Yi wouldn't snatch opportunities from ordinary people.
However, Sun Rui's neighbor, who worked as an accountant at a company, was quite corrupt and bought over ten houses.
Until it was exposed during the demolition, and he was sent in by the company...
Wang Yi felt that he could buy a few sets from such a person...
After all, not making money when there's an opportunity is foolish.
As for the consequences, it seemed there weren't any significant ones.
If Wang Yi bought three, that person would still have eight or nine left, and would probably still go in...
Subsequently, Wang Yi returned to the company.
Seeing Song Sining still busy, he first went to the sixth floor to check on the design department!
Meiyou now has ten designers.
Five were busy making minor modifications to "pure desire style" dresses, three were busy with minor modifications to "pure desire style" lingerie, and two were working on minor modifications to stockings!
They also had low base salaries but high potential for promotion; the more designs adopted, the higher their income.
For this, they had to work day and night, risking hair loss.
Wang Yi saw one female designer in her thirties pulling at her hair while changing dress colors...
Wang Yi chuckled: "Don't know which color is better?"
"Yes, they all feel good, but something is slightly off with each."
"Then keep both. Whichever one works out in the end, that's the one!"
"Oh right, that's also a method. Why am I agonizing over this?"
The female designer suddenly realized, then turned around to see Wang Yi behind her: "Boss! I... thank you, boss, for your guidance."
"No problem, everyone has worked hard!"
Wang Yi patted her shoulder, then turned and left.
With more designers, many minor modifications were submitted daily.
Wang Yi reviewed and rated each one, then either adopted it for factory production or rejected it!
As a result, there are currently thirty-five new "pure desire style" dress designs in mass production!
There are also fifteen "pure desire style" lingerie designs in mass production for stocking.
And ten designs for stockings!
Moreover, the number of designs is constantly increasing, with good new designs approved and scheduled for mass production every day!
Only by continuously launching new styles and giving consumers more choices can more profits be generated!
Just like mobile phones, in the past, one brand would release one model a year.
Now, one brand, plus its sub-brands, can release ten models a year!
Various grades, various positioning, meeting diverse user needs.
Wang Yi's Meiyou also uses this strategy, having everything!
Half an hour later, quitting time arrived, and everyone left.
Newly hired employees mostly rent nearby, and some locals drive to work.
There's nothing to be done; with more employees, the dorms have long been insufficient.
But now that Meiyou is famous, even without offering dorms, a large number of people are still scrambling to join.
Wang Yi came to the fifth-floor suite and handed the keys to the nearly new office building to Song Sining:
"I bought that five-story new office building. You can use it as you see fit!"
Song Sining was astonished: "..."
He just said the office building wasn't enough, and Wang Yi bought one!
This execution power is truly amazing!
"Didi, your efficiency is really high! Come, a hug as a reward!"
As she spoke, Song Sining had already opened her arms and given a big hug.
Ever since the last time they slept in each other's arms for a night, Song Sining had gotten used to giving Wang Yi hugs as rewards.
Wang Yi chuckled speechlessly. Indeed, boys also need to protect themselves when they're out!
"By the way, Didi, haven't you eaten yet?"
Song Sining said with a smile:
"I bought hotpot. Shall we eat together?"
"Sounds good!" Wang Yi readily agreed.
In the forty-square-meter suite, two people having hotpot together was also quite interesting.
Song Sining then took out a box of lamb rolls and some vegetables from the refrigerator, washing them clean.
She also grabbed a six-pack of beer.
The two ate hotpot and drank beer, feeling very relaxed.
In a trance, it was exactly like their previous life.
In their previous life, they had also stayed home together and had hotpot.
But that day, it rained.
"By the way, Didi, you previously told me to buy a house nearby. I checked once; there's a community called Yayuan Community that's quite quiet. What do you think?"
"Yayuan Community?"
Wang Yi had an impression of it.
It was north of the house he bought, adjacent to it, and also in the core demolition zone of the Financial Center.
"That community is okay. What's the unit price?"
"It's a 100-square-meter unit, with a unit price of 4,000."
"For an old community in the suburbs, 4,000 yuan is a normal price, but 100 square meters is too small. It's best to buy 140 square meters. If you don't have enough money, advance it first. Don't rush with renovations, just live in it for now. Make sure to buy a larger house."
Wang Yi said earnestly:
"Housing prices will continue to rise in the future. If you buy small now, the cost will be much higher if you try to change houses later."
For no other reason, the bigger the purchase, the more allocated in case of demolition, and the more Song Sining would earn.
Song Sining had been working tirelessly for him, so for such immense wealth, Wang Yi naturally had to include her.
At that time, he could also choose a house from someone unscrupulous, one that wouldn't have many consequences.
"Okay, then I'll look again later."
Song Sining agreed, thinking to herself:
"Buying a larger one is good too. If Xiaoyi doesn't go back home then, he can stay there, it would definitely be more comfortable than staying in the suite!"
