"Six billion..."

He kept repeating the number to himself: "I waited a year back then... a whole year."

"The plan has never been implemented, and everyone laughs at me, saying that I bought a piece of wasteland for a billion dollars."

"The group's cash flow dried up, and Shen Cong also depleted the last of its working capital."

"I have no choice, I have to sell, and I just started selling..."

His voice grew hoarse: "Only two days, just two days... and it's already reached 6.8 billion?"

No one dared to speak, because this was too ruthless.

If the price of Qingnian Road doesn't rise, Shen Jianjun's low-price sale could be considered a timely stop-loss.

But just two days after it was sold, the official plan was announced.

Two hundred and thirty million, six billion.

What lies between them is not a price difference, but a lifeline that could turn Jianjun Group around.

It's not even just turning over.

If this land were still in Jianjun Group's hands, all the financial crises would disappear instantly, banks would come knocking on their door, suppliers would change their attitudes, the stock price would skyrocket, and Shen Jianjun's birthday banquet today would truly become a triumphant occasion.

But now, it's all gone.

He sold it himself, to Shen Ze, to his eldest son whom he had always looked down on, felt indebted to, and wanted to suppress.

Shen Jianjun felt a sudden pain in his chest and fell backward.

The maid was so frightened that she quickly helped him up.

"President Shen!"

"Quickly help President Shen to a seat!"

Sun Mei finally lost her composure. Her makeup was exquisite, but her expression was distorted beyond recognition.

Just now, she mocked Shen Ze in front of all the guests, saying that Shen Ze would lose so much money buying Qingnian Road that he wouldn't even have time to cry.

She said that demolition, road construction, and investment attraction could burn through his cash flow, and that she was waiting to see Shen Ze make a fool of himself.

What now?

Shen Ze didn't embarrass himself; she was the one who did.

The harsher her words were in public, the harsher the backlash will be now.

Shen Ze holds a valuable piece of land worth 6.8 billion!

And here she is, mocking others as if they'll lose out, like a joke.

The enormous drop felt like a hand, gripping her throat tightly.

Sun Mei opened her mouth, wanting to curse, to refute, to say that this was just an expert's prediction.

But she couldn't utter a single word; her chest ached as if she had been punched hard.

She leaned against the edge of the table next to her, her face extremely pale.

In the banquet hall, someone finally couldn't help but speak in a low voice.

"Shen Ze's taste is truly exceptional."

"So many people at the auction didn't think it was a good chance, and even Chairman Yu didn't continue bidding, but he won it directly."

"What does it mean for 230 million to become 6.8 billion?"

"On Jianjun Group's side, Shen Cong lost over a billion yuan, while Shen Ze made over six billion yuan in profit."

"They're both sons of the Shen family, but the difference is just too great."

"Shen Cong is just a spendthrift, Shen Ze is a true investment genius."

"No wonder he was able to secure the Caesars Hotel, Shue Yan Hospital, and Ziyuan Bund Impression at such a young age; his judgment is truly exceptional."

"I used to think Shen Ze relied on luck, but now I see, it's not luck at all, it's an incredibly sharp eye."

These words seeped into Shen Jianjun's ears one by one.

Every word was like a needle; Shen Cong lost 1.3 billion, while Shen Ze earned over 6 billion.

One dragged Jianjun Group into a quagmire, while the other casually acquired a piece of prime land whose value skyrocketed thirtyfold.

What's even more ridiculous is that Shen Ze was originally his son.

If only he hadn't abandoned Shen Ze back then, and hadn't poured all his energy into Shen Cong.

If Shen Ze were standing next to him now, how could Jianjun Group have ended up where it is today?

Shen Jianjun sat in the chair, his face pale and his lips trembling.

Today is his birthday banquet, and he originally wanted to use this banquet to tell everyone that Jianjun Group has not collapsed and that the Shen family still has a chance to turn things around.

But now, all the guests looked at him with pity, embarrassment, and barely concealed amusement.

The facade he had built up was shattered by this official announcement.

The entire birthday party became the biggest joke of the night.

Meanwhile, at Yu Yehua's residence.

On the large-screen TV in the living room, local financial news was broadcasting news about the planned subway line on Qingnian Road.

The female host spoke very quickly, her tone clearly showing excitement.

"The Shanghai government officially announced a new round of rail transit planning today, in which Line 23 and Line 24 will jointly cover the Qingnian Road area."

Industry insiders believe that the plan will completely change the traffic pattern of the Qingnian Road area and drive up the value of surrounding commercial, residential and land properties.

"According to preliminary estimates by financial experts, the comprehensive valuation of the core plot of land on Qingnian Road may reach 6.8 billion yuan."

Yu Yehua sat on the sofa, initially just casually reading the news.

Upon hearing the words "Youth Road," he immediately sat up straight.

When he saw the planning map, his expression completely changed.

Lines 23 and 24 form a double loop, with Line 24 providing direct access to the city center.

This is almost exactly the same as the "transportation leverage point" that Shen Ze mentioned back then.

Yu Yehua stared at the screen, and the words Shen Ze had calmly spoken in the private room of the Shangrong Hotel that day immediately came to mind.

"The problems on Qingnian Road are obvious: poor transportation, outdated facilities, and long development cycle."

"But its location is not bad. If the transportation plan is upgraded in the future, the land on Qingnian Road will be worth more than two or three hundred million."

At the time, he felt that Shen Ze had good judgment and courage.

But he didn't expect Shen Ze's judgment to be so accurate.

It wasn't that we got the general direction right, but that we hit the timing, the key moments, and the value perfectly.

Yu Yehua picked up his phone and dialed Shen Ze's number directly. The call was answered quickly.

"Chairman Yu."

Shen Ze's voice remained calm, but Yu Yehua couldn't suppress the tremor in his tone: "Mr. Shen, have you seen the news?"

"The official plan for Youth Road has been released."

"Both subway lines, Line 23 and Line 24, are being built around Qingnian Road."

"One of them even goes directly to the city center."

"Your land is now valued at 6.8 billion by financial experts."

"You bought it for 230 million, and it's increased thirtyfold!"

On the other end of the phone, Shen Ze simply hummed in agreement: "I understand."

Yu Yehua was taken aback: "You know?"

He couldn't help but laugh. "Mr. Shen, your reaction is far too calm!"

"That's 6.8 billion! Anyone else would probably be losing sleep right now."

Shen Ze's tone remained calm: "As expected."

Those four words left Yu Yehua speechless for two seconds.

As expected, this was what truly shocked him.

While others only learned that Qingnian Road was about to take off after seeing the announcement, Shen Ze seemed to have been waiting for this day from the very beginning.

Yu Yehua took a deep breath, feeling even more that this young man was unfathomable.

He stopped beating around the bush and said directly, "Mr. Shen, I have an idea."

"Do you have any plans to sell that plot of land on Qingnian Road?"

"I can offer you a very competitive price."

"If you're willing, I'd like to turn that place into the most premium supermarket in Shanghai, integrating high-end retail, fresh food supply chain, membership warehousing, and city delivery."

"Once transportation to this location is completed, its radiation capacity will be terrifying."

"Regarding the price, just name your price, as long as it's reasonable, I can negotiate."
