Chapter 541: Chapter 204: Panpan, Invite Your Senior Su to Our Home for Dinner!

The next day, the Su and Qin families went to Jianglan New District’s Chengnan Market.

After Zelin talked about it last night, both elders thought investing in property here was a pretty good choice.

The current Chengnan Market had only just started being developed and was still in its infancy, but it was already open for sale.

It could be considered a semi-pre-sale property.

The benefit of buying such a property is that it is relatively cheap, but the downside is that the developer might run out of funds halfway and disappear.

However, for Su Zelin, this problem doesn’t exist, after all, he has been reincarnated and is well aware of which developers in Jianglan would run away and which wouldn’t.

In reality, developers who would run away are quite rare, because since the 21st century, real estate has started to boom; unless the owner is extremely unlucky, or initially intended to scam money, there’s no need to run away.

Chengnan Market is being developed by a large real estate company from another city in collaboration with the Jianglan City government, and all are shops, so Su Jianjun and Qin Daqing are not worried. 𝑓𝘳𝑒𝑒𝓌𝘦𝘣𝘯ℴ𝑣𝘦𝑙.𝘤𝑜𝑚

Shops in these small cities are unbelievably cheap at the moment, even though it’s a prime new market, a single shop doesn’t even cost 100,000 yuan.

Even though it’s bordering the old district and very close, many citizens are still short-sighted.

This is Jianglan’s first time developing a new district, and people lack experience; even the government isn’t confident it will succeed, fearing it could become a ghost town.

This area is still in a state of needing everything under construction, with surrounding areas being commandeered farmland, roads yet to be completed, and outside Chengnan Market is just a dirt road that becomes muddy and horrible on rainy days.

The majority of citizens originally didn’t have the concept of property investment, and coming here made them even less interested.

"What on earth, what’s the difference from the suburbs?"

"Even the suburban scenery is preferable!"

"Buying a shop in such a dilapidated place requires spending so much money; it’s ridiculously harmful!"

"Buying two or three shops is equivalent to buying a house; wouldn’t it be better to build a house by ourselves?"

If it were in the future, the moment the government announced the development of a new district somewhere, property prices there would immediately begin to skyrocket.

The elders of the Su and Qin families hesitated a bit too when they first saw the Chengnan Market.

But Su Zelin quickly painted them a beautiful blueprint, saying that in a year, the road beside the market would be completed, making it the largest main road in Jianglan, accommodating several large trucks side by side, and much more convenient than the crowded old market in the city center.

The new square opposite, once completed, would be five times the size of the old Binjiang City Square, attracting a lot of daily traffic.

Surrounded by several residential buildings, schools, and pedestrian streets, Chengnan Market would become the commercial core with a natural advantage.

The picture Su Zelin painted was incredibly vivid, pulling details from what he recalled about the future Jianglan New District, making both families’ elders irresistibly hopeful, and suddenly the surrounding vegetable fields and dirt roads became more pleasing to their eyes.

Under the instigation of Zelin, his father even decided to buy more than expected, a total of six shops, though he initially planned to buy only two.

Although Zhao Lixia was somewhat hesitant, she nodded in agreement.

Lately, the father-son duo of Su Jianjun and Su Zelin had brought her many surprises, earning tens of thousands from stock trading, making Granny Su feel as if the money were falling from the sky, so she dared to take the gamble.

Qin Daqing, gritting his teeth, decided to buy four cards as well.

The Qin family didn’t have as much financial strength as the Su family, with relatively fewer assets. Of course, buying six shops wasn’t impossible, but Liu Sufen was more cautious, feeling that risking all their savings was too dangerous, and it was necessary to keep a reserve of eighty to a hundred thousand for emergencies.

If not for the Su family’s influence, she wouldn’t even have planned to invest in the new district, let alone such a substantial investment.

In the previous life, it was her persuasion that led Qin Daqing not to invest in the new district, missing a great opportunity.

Su Zelin didn’t insist; he could only try to persuade the Qin family to buy more. Liu Sufen’s caution was understandable as she wasn’t a reborn person, unable to see the future.

Getting four shops is still not bad.

More than a decade later, even the worst-located and smallest shops in Chengnan Market would have a monthly rent of nearly 20,000 yuan per shop.

And the four shops bought by the Qin family were the largest and best-located, enough for the two elders to achieve financial freedom, enjoying a comfortable second half of their lives, traveling and indulging in happiness daily.

At this time, Chengnan Market was hard to sell; most visitors were just citizens asking questions and leaving, clearly showing no interest in buying. Those genuinely interested were mostly waiting.

But once they waited until the main road was built, and the surrounding vegetable gardens were developed, and the new square on the opposite side was established, the price of Chengnan Market properties would be entirely different by then.

The Su and Qin families intended to buy ten shops together, making the sales office manager, who struggled to sell shops and begged around, smile broadly.

However, Su Zelin was in no rush to close the deal.

With such a big transaction, it was natural to negotiate for more discounts.

At first, they made a high offer, then discussed a significant discount.

This kind of drastic negotiation the sales office manager naturally couldn’t agree to.

Both sides talked for a long time, until they were parched, yet still reached an impasse.

Ultimately, Su Zelin left with the two families, leaving the manager staring in despair.

That evening, after dinner, Su Dad received a phone call from the sales office manager, who made further concessions, with a deeper discount, plus five years of waived market management fees, and priority selection of shops.
