To marry into the family in place of his brother? Impossible!

He was confident that the land he bought would appreciate significantly and eventually become the center of the new southern district, easily increasing its value tenfold.

When Jiang Zhe walked out of the auction house, he stood up straight with a smug smile on his face.

"One hundred million for a prime piece of land, this deal is enough to turn my life around." He muttered to himself, his steps light as if he were walking on clouds.

That night, he invited a few of his cronies to drink at the most expensive club in Jiangcheng.

The private room was dimly lit and filled with the aroma of wine. Jiang Zhe sat in the main seat, legs crossed, swirling his wine glass around, exuding an air of authority.

He was accompanied by two scantily clad female companions nestled beside him.

At this moment, someone next to Jiang Zhe said, "Brother Zhe, I heard you spent 100 million yuan to buy a piece of land at the auction today? That's a big spender!"

Jiang Zhe snorted and glanced at him sideways: "What do you know? That piece of land looks unremarkable now, but once the municipal government's new plan comes out next spring, the price will at least increase tenfold."

"Ten times?" The man with the buzz cut gasped. "Wouldn't Brother Zhe be making a killing?"

Jiang Zhe smiled smugly and said, "What do you think?"

The man asked, "Brother Zhe, did you receive some news?"

Jiang Zhe was stunned. He had never paid attention to government development plans, so how could he have any information about them?

The information he received was all based on his experiences in his previous life.

But he couldn't say that. Thinking of this, he pretended to be mysterious and said, "I have inside information that the city government's key development focus for next year is the south of the city."

Commercial centers, subway lines, and high-end residences are all being built there.

If you buy it for 100 million now, it will cost at least 1 billion later.

The people nearby stared wide-eyed in disbelief.

"Zhe-ge really has good taste!"

"No wonder Brother Zhe was able to become the Jiang family's heir; such foresight is truly rare."

"If that's really the case, then that piece of land in the south of the city is indeed a treasure trove. Brother Zhe's move was simply a stroke of genius."

Jiang Zhe was flattered and took another sip of wine, his face flushed.

At this moment, a slightly more composed friend hesitated for a moment before speaking up: "Brother Zhe, I heard that the municipal government held a meeting last month, and it seems that the development in the south of the city has been suspended, saying that it needs to be reassessed..."

Jiang Zhe's face instantly darkened.

"What do you know?" He slammed his glass down with a loud bang.

Jiang Zhe said confidently, "An assessment? That's just a formality! Let me tell you, I have connections in the government, and I know the ins and outs better than you do. That piece of land in the south of the city is bound to become a hot commodity sooner or later."

The man, after being rebuffed, sheepishly shut his mouth and said no more.

He looked somewhat suspicious, wondering why Jiang Zhe was so certain.

Does he really have some connections that he doesn't know about?

Everyone showered Jiang Zhe with compliments once again.

After all, Jiang Zhe spent 100 million yuan, which was indeed a big spender.

Jiang Zhe took a sip of his drink and continued, "Do you know who I saw at the auction today?"

"Oh, who is it that can get our young master Zhe to take a second look?"

Jiang Zhe sneered and said, "My adopted younger brother, Jiang Jinhuan."

When he mentioned that name, his tone was filled with undisguised disgust.

"He went too?" the man with the buzz cut asked curiously.

Jiang Jinhuan is no longer an unknown figure, not to mention his relationship with Song Qingci.

His personal abilities alone have now become well-known among the elite families of Jiangcheng.

Jiang Zhe sneered, "He went there, and even sat with Song Qingci. He actually advised me not to buy that land, saying I had bad judgment and would lose money. Hah, doesn't he even know who he is? What does he know!"

There was a moment of silence in the private room.

The group exchanged glances, unusually refraining from agreeing with Jiang Zhe.

Jiang Jinhuan's name is now more prestigious than Jiang Zhe's.

Jiang Zhe didn't notice anything unusual about the others and continued to sneer, "A bastard from the countryside, after studying for a few years, thinks he knows everything?"

What does he know about business? What does he know about investment? If it weren't for Song Qingci's connections, he wouldn't even be worthy of carrying my shoes.

After Jiang Zhe finished speaking, he looked at the young men next to him.

The other young men managed to force a smile.

The man with the buzz cut next to him chuckled dryly and chimed in, "Those kinds of people are just lucky; they climbed the social ladder, but they're still just country bumpkins at heart."

"Exactly! Brother Zhe is the rightful heir of the Jiang family. Who does he think he is?"

As Jiang Zhe listened to these flattering words, the corners of his mouth curved into a wider smile.

He picked up his glass, downed it in one gulp, and said, "Just wait and see. Once that land appreciates in value, I'll let everyone know who the real visionary is. Jiang Jinhuan? He's nothing but a short-sighted good-for-nothing."

Jiang Zhe returned home late at night, still feeling unsatisfied.

With so much money spent at home, he hasn't dared to be too extravagant lately.

This money represents all the liquid assets the Jiang family can utilize.

However, the thought of getting ten or even dozens of times his money back in the future kept him awake with excitement.

He remembered clearly from his past life that Xingyao Group spent over a billion yuan just to acquire this land.

This piece of land later became the central area of ​​Nancheng's development, and the Song family also profited a lot.

At the time, he was still Song Qingci's husband, and these things weren't secrets, so he remembered them very clearly.

Because Jiang Jinhuan seemed to have been involved in his previous life, he remembered it so clearly.

Now this opportunity belongs to him alone; that piece of land is his now.

This time, he will definitely make Song Qingci look at him in a new light, and he will resolutely not give Jiang Jinhuan any chance to participate.

The money earned this time will belong solely to the Jiang family.

The next day, Jiang Zhe unusually got up very early. He asked Jiang Guodong, who was eating breakfast, "Dad, what has Jiang Jinhuan been doing lately?"

Jiang Guodong was taken aback: "Why are you asking this?"

Jiang Zhe's lips curled slightly: "He stopped me from buying that land at the auction yesterday, which shows his vision is nothing special. Someone like that doesn't deserve to be a general manager!"

Upon hearing Jiang Zhe's words, Jiang Guodong's hand paused abruptly. "He said that?"

"That's right, I think he just can't stand to see me doing well! He's just jealous!"

Jiang Guodong remained silent for a moment, then said in thought, "Xiao Zhe, are you sure that piece of land is valuable?"

Jiang Zhe frowned and looked at Jiang Guodong: "Dad, you don't believe me?"

Jiang Guodong said, "It's not that I don't believe it, but Jin Huan's recent actions... I mean, he seems to rarely misjudge people..."

Jiang Zhe stood up, displeased, and said, "Dad, do you believe him but not me?"

Jiang Zhe was furious.

Jiang's mother, standing nearby, said, "It's not that I don't trust you, I just hope you'll do your research thoroughly this time and not act impulsively!"

Jiang Zhe said, "Mom, didn't I show you the final development prospects of that land? Don't worry, the government will definitely develop Nancheng according to my plan!"

Seeing Jiang Zhe's resolute expression, Jiang's father ultimately said nothing.

Because the prospects presented by Jiang Zhe were indeed possible, and the government had indeed revealed information about it at the time.

But in the end, it suddenly stopped. However, stopping doesn't mean it's not going to happen. If the government really made up its mind, it would be impossible to acquire that piece of land for 100 million.

Jiang Zhe is so certain now, could it be that he has figured something out?
