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

Yuzhou in southern Zhejiang, the name Yuzhou is the local dialect pronunciation. It can be said to be a thousand-year-old commercial port, but it doesn't refer to how well it does business, but rather to the most famous thing about this place.

After the turn of the century, the small workshop business model here was gradually replaced by the centralized production model of large enterprises. And the small workshop model slowly disappeared.

In the early days, this area was full of low-rise buildings, and the roads were narrow and unsuitable for passage. As for the small business owners who made money here, it's unclear where they invested their money.

Many others left from here, went to all parts of the world, worked hard, and built up considerable wealth; their experiences traveling the globe naturally far surpassed those of ordinary people.

Therefore, after they spread the story of real estate speculation, it naturally sparked a real estate speculation craze, and the first thing they speculated on was the local area of ​​Yuzhou.

Why was Yuzhou the first local brand to be hyped?

Although this place is not as flat as those in Guizhou Province, where there is hardly any flat land, it is surrounded by mountains on three sides and the sea on the other side. There are more mountains than flat land, and land is scarce. Demolition and relocation are difficult, so naturally, the housing prices here are easy to speculate on. There are big speculators behind this place.

At that time, due to the real estate boom, some places were similar to Hong Kong, with small usable land areas and initially focused on foreign trade. There were many similarities, so some people jokingly called Yuzhou "Little Hong Kong." However, it was just a joke and not a fact.

Zhang San had heard about this place from a friend. After listening, he felt that the person behind this operation must be very familiar with the history of Hong Kong, or even be from Hong Kong.

However, this is his guess, and it is based on some evidence. There are many people from Jiangsu and Zhejiang in Hong Kong, so this possibility is quite normal.

However, that's not what he wants to do. He wants to use their names to speculate on real estate, or rather, to accelerate the sales of his own properties.

Zhang San owns a large residential complex in the suburbs of Shanghai, covering an area of ​​300 hectares. Its full name is New Time and Space Future City. However, after its completion, it did not attract much attention from the locals, especially the long-time residents of Shanghai.

Because in their eyes, this place seems to be the countryside; their statement is somewhat biased, because they added two extra words, "it seems," meaning that this place is indeed the countryside, but Zhang San bought it.

"Boss, this place is too remote. No one will invest here, and no one will live here. Besides, it's not convenient to get to the city center." The project manager was a bit troubled. The price here has reached 4000 yuan per square meter, while in the city center, such as Jing'an District, it is 4800 to 9000 yuan per square meter.

This was really putting Fat Tiger in a difficult position! So, he was a little embarrassed and complained to the boss.

The cost of acquiring the land here is 500 yuan per square meter, and the expropriation price should be 50 yuan per square meter. So, land revenue is showing its power again.

"Don't worry, the first phase here didn't sell, right? Then don't sell it for now. You can take over all the land around here." Zhang San pointed at the model and continued, "Take over this land and build a hotel, take over this place and build..." Zhang San pointed to several places, looking like he was giving orders.

After Zhang San finished speaking, the project manager was completely distraught, because these were all unwanted areas, and it would take at least five or six years for the city to expand into these places.

"Is there no problem with funding?"

"No, boss, we have plenty of funds."

This isn't just talk. The online game "Magic" brought them huge profits, with revenue reaching tens of billions of RMB and generating over three billion RMB in profit annually. It's safe to say that many people are extremely envious, but there's nothing they can do. This game is foreign-owned, and even its operation is foreign-owned, with a Wall Street company behind it.

No one knows exactly who the boss behind it is, but one thing is clear: the other party has a lot of influence and has provided a lot of assistance to the mainland; last year, the mainland joined the WTO.

As long as the other party doesn't engage in capitalism or break the law, basically, in their view, nothing can bring them down unless they themselves play dirty tricks.

"Then buy it! If it weren't for your loyalty, I would have replaced you a long time ago, you silly goose."

Upon hearing his boss praise him, he immediately straightened his back and said, "Boss, rest assured, your grand plans, wisdom, foresight, and ability to win battles from afar are beyond our comprehension."

"Go and get it done, you good-for-nothing, all you know how to do is suck up." Zhang San laughed and scolded as he told the guy to leave.

After they left, Zhang San thought to himself, "It seems I'll have to use my ultimate move."

The people in Shanghai were naturally very happy to sell the land to them. After all, it's all about land revenue. That piece of wasteland hadn't been developed by anyone, so they could be the vanguard first.

In recent days, a news report on Shanghai TV has drawn ridicule from many people. The Yuzhou real estate speculation group came to Shanghai from southern Zhejiang to look at properties and prepare to buy them.

This news immediately drew ridicule from Shanghai residents.

"Haha... Even the shrewd people of Yuzhou can make a mistake. They actually set their sights on that rural place. They must be desperate to get a bargain!"

"Who knows, maybe they have inside information, hehe..."

"That's three hundred hectares of land! How many houses would that be? Would ghosts live there?"

"Back when Pudong wasn't developed yet, there was a saying that people would rather have a bed in Puxi than an apartment in Pudong."

"They're not the same, okay? Pudong has a better location, while that place is practically the countryside, you know?"

There was a lot of discussion, but many of them viewed the actions of the Yuzhou real estate speculators as those of fools.

On the other side, someone said to the Yuzhou real estate speculators, "You've all done a great job. Now I'll distribute the money. Everyone's pay will be different; those who perform well will get more, and those who don't will only get a lower minimum. We're treating you all to food, lodging, and travel expenses; we've been losing money hand over fist."

This statement immediately drew boos from many people, but there was nothing that could be done, as it had been agreed upon beforehand.

The project organizer began distributing funds, and people from Yuzhou gathered around.

Some people happily accepted the money, counting the banknotes in their hands with satisfied smiles on their faces, because they received more than expected; while others frowned, looking at the meager amount in their hands, complaining unhappily, feeling that they had been treated unfairly.

They muttered amongst themselves, but didn't show any disappointment or anger. Those who received more money excitedly planned how to use their windfall, while those who received less quietly turned and left, treating their trip to Shanghai as a vacation. They had indeed enjoyed a pleasant trip around Shanghai over the past few days.
