A sophomore in college starts by getting a marriage certificate with a female CEO.

"Two million???"

Ma Fei's face immediately turned black.

How come it's a million less than Lu Yang's?

Ma Fei immediately said, "Secretary Lin, this price... are you joking?"

"Mr. Ma, as you said, these shops are mostly abandoned projects, so it's good enough that someone is willing to take them over."

Lin Qian smiled and directly threw back at Lu Yang's words verbatim.

High, really high.

They've mastered the art of using someone else to drive down the price!

Ma Fei glanced at Lu Yang, hoping he would say something on his behalf.

Lu Yang smiled and shrugged: "Mr. Ma, Secretary Lin is right. These shops are indeed difficult to sell. The price I offered just now was a bit too high."

Ma Fei's lips twitched.

He felt something was off, but he couldn't quite put his finger on it.

These two aren't enemies, are they?

Why are they putting on a double act now?

Are you playing me?

"However... while I'm not really keen on buying the shop, I have another suggestion."

"What suggestion?"

All three of them turned to look at him.

Lu Yang smiled and said, "We've already agreed on the price for that commercial land, so we'll sign this one as usual."

Wang Jianyuan nodded.

no problem.

"As for the shops..."

Lu Yang turned around, looked at Lin Qian, and said very seriously:

"Three million, I'll transfer it to you at the original price, how about it?"

Lin Qian was stunned for a moment.

Wang Jianyuan was also stunned.

Lu Yang continued, "I also have a task. My superior asked me to finalize this matter, which is difficult for me. How about this, I'll sign the contract first and then transfer it to you. I'll cover the signing fee and handling fees. After you get the shop, how you develop and handle it is none of my business."

"What do you mean?" Lin Qian frowned.

Lu Yang spread his hands, "What I mean is, I'll buy it and then sell it to you, without making a profit in between."

Lin Qian stared at him for several seconds.

This is not normal.

Who buys something and then resells it at the original price?

"Are you trying to trick me?"

"What trick are you trying to pull?" Lu Yang laughed. "The shop belongs to Boss Ma, and you've seen the price yourselves. It's three million, not a penny more. If you think it's too expensive, then never mind."

Lin Qian didn't respond.

Her CPU is a bit slow.

It's unreasonable for the people of the snowy region to want something and then not want it, and then help them resell it.

unless……

These shops really aren't worth much.

Lu Yang felt it wasn't worth it after seeing it, so he wanted to get rid of it.

If this inference is true, it actually means that there is still room for the prices of these shops to be pushed down!

"Three million is too high."

Lin Qian spoke up: "Two hundred and fifty."

Lu Yang waved his hand: "No way, I bought it for three million, I can't sell it at a loss."

"Then forget it."

Lin Qian's attitude was very firm.

"Alright."

Lu Yang picked up the pen and said to Ma Fei, "Mr. Ma, let's stick to the original contract. Three million, I'll take it."

Ma Fei was overjoyed and was about to push the contract over.

He was initially hesitant about selling for three million...

Now, three million, sell it quickly!

"etc!"

Lin Qian spoke up: "What exactly do you mean? You've changed your mind three times in five minutes."

Lu Yang looked at her with an innocent expression: "I was just trying to kindly transfer it to you guys, but since you don't want it, I'll just keep it for myself."

Lin Qian gritted her teeth.

She came here on a mission.

If Lu Yang buys it, she won't be able to explain it to President Sun.

The reason she came to buy these shops was because the price offered by the other party was too low, creating an arbitrage opportunity to resell them and make a profit as a middleman.

To put it bluntly, it's about taking advantage of someone's misfortune and making short-term arbitrage profits.

Her highest price is three million; anything above that isn't worth it.

"Secretary Lin."

Lu Yang suddenly spoke up: "Do you think the price of these shops will go up or down in a month?"

Lin Qian didn't hesitate, coldly scoffing, "Is there even a question? The surrounding amenities haven't been completed, the plans are still pending, and the developer has already abandoned half of the project. Do you think prices will go up or down?"

Are you sure?

"I've been in this industry for five years, and I've seen plenty of projects like this."

Lin Qian's tone was very firm:

"Even if prices rise, it will have to wait for the surrounding infrastructure to be completed, which will probably take several years."

Lu Yang nodded: "Shall we take a gamble?"

"bet?"

Lin Qian narrowed her eyes: "What are we betting on?"

Wang Jianyuan and Ma Fei were completely bewildered.

How did you two end up gambling while buying shops?

Lu Yang said casually, "It's very simple. The shops are worth three million. I'll sign the contract. If the appraised value of these shops is higher than it is now a month later, Dingsheng will buy them in full at the appraised value, without missing a penny."

"What if the appraised value is lower than it is now?" Lin Qian pressed.

"I don't want the three million. Consider the shop a gift to you."

Lin Qian was stunned for two seconds.

The shop's value has increased; I'm buying it at a high price.

The shop's value has plummeted; take the three million.

Moreover, judging from the surface conditions...

She's almost guaranteed to win.

Even if the shop price really does go up.

What are the chances of an increase?

She knows this all too well.

The shop was abandoned, the owner ran away and sold it off, and the land price was halved.

How could such a place turn around in just one month?

Unless the mayor himself comes to pave the road.

"Commissioner Lu, are you sure?"

Lin Qian's tone changed, becoming somewhat tentative.

"Sure."

"You're that confident?"

"I wouldn't call it confidence."

Lu Yang smiled and said, "I just think it's fun."

Fun?

Lin Qian gave Lu Yang a deep look.

She couldn't understand what this young man was thinking.

From a rational perspective, however, this gamble carries almost no risk for Dingsheng.

"Wait a moment, I'll go make a phone call."

After Lin Qian finished speaking, she turned and left for a moment.

Taking advantage of the lull, Wang Jianyuan lowered his voice and leaned close to Lu Yang: "President Lu, buying these unfinished shops for three million is already a huge loss. Why are you still gambling with Dingsheng?"

In other words, even if the prices of these unfinished shops rise in a month, how much can they rise?

On the contrary, they lost money; all three million went down the drain.

Lu Yang smiled but didn't say anything.

Wang Jianyuan became even more anxious.

At that moment, the office door was pushed open.

Lin Qian walked in again, pulled out a chair and sat down, changing the direction of her crossed legs.

"Commissioner Lu, our General Manager Sun has agreed."

Lin Qian continued:

"However, Mr. Sun feels that betting only on the shops is not interesting. Since you are so confident in this land, let's raise the stakes... and bet on the commercial land as well."

Wang Jianyuan took a sip of water and almost knocked over his teacup.

Adding a bet?

"Secretary Lin, this..."

"Mr. Wang, this is a matter between us."

Lin Qian glanced at him, her tone cold:

"Moreover, our CEO Sun said that since it's a gamble, let's gamble big; a few million isn't meaningful."

Lu Yang smiled: "How do you want to bet?"

Lin Qian stated directly, "The market price of the land is 100 million. If the land value increases in a month, Dingsheng will multiply the increase by ten and acquire it in full. Otherwise, the land will be ours for free."

She turned to look at Lu Yang, a slight smile playing on her lips:

"Commissioner Lu, do you dare to make the bet?"
