Lunar New Year's Day:
Shanghai!
An office.
A secretary strode up to Dongfang Zhanyue: "President Yue! Just yesterday, news was released from the North Province: Heilong Group is valued at 380 billion, officially becoming the number one private enterprise in the North Province! Mr. Qin Jiang has also officially ascended to the position of the richest man in the North Province."
"oh..."
Dongfang Zhanyue looked up at the secretary.
The secretary immediately handed over a tablet, which was playing footage of Qinjiang from yesterday's news in the northern province.
Dongfang Zhanyue: "The richest man in the Northern Province, 380 billion! This pace is getting faster and faster, but it's also quite reasonable! Even that old fox Ma Jun has been driven out of the Northern Province. His Black Dragon real estate project is a huge hit, with frantic buying! The high valuation of his group by outsiders is justified. As long as he acquires large areas of land for development and pre-sales in a short period of time, he can make a lot of money... The next few years will be the golden age for the Black Dragon Group to make money..."
Secretary: "Isn't this a bit outrageous? A valuation of over 300 billion? That's almost on par with ours..."
Dongfang Zhanyue: "This is an industry estimate! Unless there are any major changes, the valuation of the Heilong Group probably won't change much in the next few years..."
"Moreover, this matter is a mix of good and bad fortune..."
Secretary: "Mr. Yue, what do you mean...?"
Dongfang Zhanyue: "Since ancient times, self-interest has blinded people! If a valuation of over 300 billion yuan can't resist the temptation and uses all its resources to suppress the real estate market, then what the future holds is truly unpredictable..."
"I hope he can stay true to himself!"
Secretary: "Is Mr. Yue really not confident about the future of the real estate market?"
Dongfang Zhanyue: "The future of real estate... this industry has mortgaged too many people's futures; it's destined to have no future..."
Having been deeply involved in the real estate industry for many years and witnessed the rise of China's real estate sector, Dongfang Zhanyue is well aware that while the real estate market appears incredibly hot and promising, it is actually a case of overheating and underutilization of resources. The current homebuyers are primarily young people, and they are all purchasing through loans. In first- and second-tier cities, the down payment alone often requires emptying the family's and even both sets of parents' assets.
The loan terms are generally thirty years!
How many thirty-year periods does one have in a lifetime? By the time the loan is paid off, not to mention that people will be old, the house will also be old. Especially in recent years, most houses have been built as high-rises, often thirty or forty stories high, which basically eliminates the possibility of future demolition.
By then:
The house itself isn't worth anything!
Demolition is not an option!
Furthermore, the economy cannot remain in a state of rapid growth indefinitely!
At that time, the real estate market will be entering its final era, and it will be very difficult for the younger generation to buy a house.
We cannot continue to overdraw our potential!
The future of the real estate market... is worrying!
Therefore, Dongfang Zhanyue had long since given up hope on the real estate market: "How about the online software I asked you to prepare...?"
Secretary: "It's in the later stages of preparation! It's expected to launch by the end of the year."
Online software!
It is a backup plan that Dongfang Zhanyue has laid out for Dongfang Group. Its main function is to allow users to directly buy new and second-hand houses. Although there are similar software programs on the market now, they are very complicated and messy. What Dongfang Group wants to do is to be focused and ensure the authenticity of the housing listings.
By then:
The Oriental Group can make a steady profit simply by acting as a middleman!
Buy both new and used homes!
The internet... is the future!
Dongfang Zhan Yue: "Go!"
The secretary suddenly said, "By the way, Mr. Yue! I just received news that Qin Jiang is going to Pudi on the tenth..."
Dongfang Zhanyue frowned at first: "Pudi? What is he going there for?" Then his eyes lit up: "Good! Very good! Book me a plane ticket to Pudi for the tenth of the month too, and remember to keep it secret!"
Secretary: "Yes!"
.....
Ma Family Villa!
Ma Jun also received news that Qin Jiang had gone to Pudi: "Pudi, what is he doing there?"
Assistant: "Chairman Ma! Should we...?"
Ma Jun: "No! Pudi's location is special; many laws are ineffective there. Besides, I remember he's brothers with the Ning family's third young master. Given the Ning family's influence in Pudi, our intervention might not yield good results. But we must keep a close eye on this matter..."
"Let the strategists come up with a plan: so that when Qin Jiang from the Heilong Group returns, he doesn't go directly back to Songjiang."
Assistant: "Yes!"
...
The Lin family!
Upon receiving this message, Old Master Lin frowned: "Pu Di! This kid is becoming more and more unpredictable."
"They've quietly built a market value of three to four hundred billion! That's even more powerful than the Lin family's accumulated wealth over a century."
"Most importantly, his business is completely risk-free, and he can even make it into the news and newspapers openly and legitimately..."
"If the Lin family had changed course earlier back then, it might not have been impossible..."
"Unfortunately, it's all too late!"
But Old Master Lin didn't look too dejected. He wasn't in such a hurry to transform his career back then because he had a trump card in his hand, and this trump card was gradually taking shape. He believed that when his trump card was fully formed, no one would be able to stop him.
At that time, the Lin family will no longer be just a family from the North, but a top family in the whole country and even the world.
Qinjiang...
Sooner or later, the Lin family will make you pay...
Old Master Lin: "Oh, right! I remember that Qin Jiang has grudges against the Ma family and the Chaomen. In that case, send someone to inform the Ma family and the Chaomen about his situation in the north..."
Butler: "Yes!"
.....
Gandhi.
A villa!
A gaunt old man, leaning on his cane, muttered, "Finally leaving their stronghold? Pudi! That place is not suitable for too many people. Send our Nest Gate Martial Group's second squad to kill it. Cut this black dragon down in Pudi."
"Let the world know the power of my nest!"
...
Project Nail Team!
The person in charge said, "I apologize for making you all come to work on the third day of the Lunar New Year, but the nail project has entered a critical phase!"
Smack! Smack!
He pointed to the name of Yaowu Group on the vertical panel: "After a year of planning and investigation in 2014, some key evidence against Yaowu Group has been preliminarily obtained: 2015 plan! This group must be completely eradicated to restore order to the neighboring province!"
Everyone nodded in agreement:
"It's time to close the net!"
"Show off! It's time to eradicate this cancerous growth!"
"...."
soon!
The most important annual plan for 2015 was set, followed by discussions targeting the Lin family of Qing Province and the Heilong Group of Bei Province.
The Lin family!
The investigation into Project Nail has been ongoing for a long time, and although it is not the primary target at present, a considerable amount of evidence has been gathered.
The only exception is the Black Dragon Group! The people they sent haven't found any substantial evidence yet; it's all just trivial matters. Even if they were to escalate those issues, they wouldn't have much effect on the Black Dragon Group.
Heilong Group!
It was as solid as an impenetrable wall!
At this moment, everyone's mind was filled with thoughts:
Could it be...?
Heilong Group is truly clean!
