Reborn in America, I'm serious about making money.

In Europe and America, you have to be different when doing real estate, and you have to be high-end, because only those people have the money to make such big purchases.

Moreover, it must be built into a white community, not for any other reason than to give them a sense of "security" and a feeling of superiority.

Throughout the greater Los Angeles area and the San Francisco area, there are thirteen such residential communities under construction. To slow down the construction of these communities, he only has one construction engineering company. It is easy to slow down these projects, but they cannot be too slow. Otherwise, if they are not completed by 2007, he will have nowhere to cry.

He naturally had an idea, an idea related to his first house back then.

That year, he had been working for less than three years after graduation. He emptied his family's savings to make a down payment, and then it was time to renovate.

Back then, the renovations were practically assembly line work. One group of bricklayers and carpenters came and went. He had thirteen construction sites, so it was natural to operate in this way. One team could do one thing in thirteen days. This extended the time, naturally lengthening the construction period. That's how it was presented to the outside world.

While others still had reservations, Zhang San struck hard, and news broke that he had started ten projects at the same time, which immediately attracted the attention of the industry.

Why are there ten, and not thirteen?

Westerners consider the number thirteen taboo. While revealing ten is acceptable, revealing thirteen is unacceptable, which is a strange psychological phenomenon.

This news naturally spread, and at some real estate industry gatherings, people were discussing Zhang San's simultaneous commencement of ten real estate projects.

Some mocked, "Stephen Realty is really arrogant, starting ten projects at once. Does he think he's Superman? Isn't this reckless expansion?"

Others chimed in, "Exactly! With so many projects running at the same time, does he have the funds and energy? I bet he'll run into trouble in the end."

However, some people expressed admiration for Zhang San:

"Stephen is really bold to start ten projects at the same time. That takes a lot of courage and ability."

"I admire his decisiveness; he might actually create a miracle."

"He definitely has his own strategies and plans; we can't underestimate him."

"hehe……"

These people have been in the real estate industry for a long time, so they naturally want to take a steady and cautious approach. Moreover, two or three months have passed since the attack, and they have a sense of unease about the economic recovery.

He thought he'd wait and see. That's the advantage of being a prophet; while others are still hesitant and timid, he's already going all out.

"This whole area belongs to us. There are tall trees here, and we can build more than thirty villas here, separated from each other by trees. There are also roads connecting them, and there is a wall outside to separate this place from the outside world."

Zhang San's convoy appeared near a densely wooded mountain area.

Amy was a little surprised that Zhang San could buy such good land, and then asked curiously, "Stephen, how much does a villa like this cost?"

"It will cost approximately 18 million US dollars, and possibly more, plus an annual security and other service fee of $100,000."

Zhang San didn't spend much money on this mountain area, only fifty million US dollars. After spending some money to make some changes, the rest was construction costs and labor.

"Eighteen million US dollars? Good heavens, that's so expensive! And there's a $100,000 security service fee? Will anyone even buy that?"

Amy was probably taken advantage of by her parents from the moment she was born, and now she's been working as a lowly personal assistant and secretary, so naturally she's never seen much money. Although she knows Zhang San is rich, she doesn't know exactly how much.

"People will buy it, and many people will buy it."

Zhang San's words broadened Amy's understanding.

At that time, the US dollar was still very valuable, but it was about to become less valuable. Before the new century, the world's richest man's assets were assets, not cash. These assets amounted to more than 40 billion but less than 50 billion US dollars. However, in the ten or twenty years after the new century, a world's richest man with assets of hundreds of billions of US dollars emerged.

This shows that the real purchasing value of the US dollar is declining; this is consistent with the law of paper money, which is the law of devaluation, which is inflation.

Back in school, Zhang San had heard his teacher say that gold and silver are naturally currency, but currency is not naturally gold and silver. This illustrates that inflation is long-term, while deflation is temporary.

Of course, after inflation, wealth will become more concentrated, and ordinary people will have no choice but to continue working.

"Would you like one? I'll give it to you for free?"

Zhang San spoke magnanimously about the gifts worth tens of millions, but Amy's response surprised him greatly.

Her eyes first lit up, then slowly dimmed, and she said, "Forget it, this kind of house isn't for me. My parents live in a big house too; it's made them arrogant."

Perhaps she was reminded of past events, which made her feel uneasy. Zhang San understood and comforted her, "It's my fault for reminding you of sad things. Let's go to the next place."

Zhang San has a highway nearby that connects his several construction sites. The convoy left the busy construction site and drove to the next one.

In the beginning, America was like mainland China today, where the wealthy took pride in living in the bustling city center. However, over time, many ethnic minorities moved to the city center, and their behavior was far from civilized. Apart from Asians, the other ethnic groups became very chaotic.

Soon after, the city center was no longer favored by the wealthy, who began to move their homes to the suburbs. Moreover, the arrival of new residents required their collective consent.

Zhang San believes that they should not only test the newcomer's wealth, but also their upbringing, taking into account whether they conform to their values.

Generally, it's the same kind of people who live together, and this is also a different kind of match.

The rich man's belt created by Zhang San will not be suitable for non-Asian minority groups to live in, because it is a suburb with no places to buy things for free, and they don't know where to find leaves.

Moreover, there are a large number of security personnel here to protect the safety of these people. These security personnel have been granted temporary law enforcement powers, equivalent to auxiliary police officers in mainland China, but with much greater authority.

These security personnel are allowed to carry long guns; such powerful weapons are rarely targeted here.
