"Buy a house?"
Wang Qing breathed a sigh of relief. Compared to starting a business, buying a house was undoubtedly much more stable.
Current housing prices aren't expensive; they will rise in the future, guaranteeing profit.
Wang Shulin also nodded:
"Buying a house is good, buying a house is the best! Someone in our building wants to sell!"
"No, Mom, I'm not buying in our neighborhood."
"Why?"
The elderly couple was puzzled,
"Are you looking down on us, kid?"
"Our neighborhood is too far west, with no development potential. The chances of demolition in the short term are slim, and there isn't much room for appreciation,"
Wang Yi explained slowly:
"I plan to buy a house in the east, near the park. If Qingyun County develops, it will definitely extend eastward towards the city center! Once the county town undergoes upgrades and renovations, that area will definitely be demolished first!"
Wang Qing pondered for a moment:
"What my son said makes sense. I hadn't thought so far ahead. For the city to develop and connect to the urban area in the future, the demolition and renovation of old houses will be inevitable."
Wang Yi nodded, patiently persuading:
"All urban development follows this process. In the next seven or eight years, money will depreciate the most. The fastest appreciating asset will be houses!"
"Dad, Mom, don't keep your savings in the bank. Take them out and buy houses!"
"Is this reliable?"
Wang Shulin was a little worried; her son's words overturned her perception.
"Absolutely reliable! Once demolished, one old house turns into three new houses, a triple profit!"
Wang Yi stated firmly:
"Even if it's not demolished, if housing prices double in the future, we can sell it for a guaranteed profit, which is still more cost-effective than keeping money in the bank where it depreciates!"
Hearing this, the elderly couple exchanged glances, their expressions growing serious.
Buying a house is a big deal and must be done cautiously.
Seeing his parents still hesitating, Wang Yi sighed:
"In 2001, a steamed bun cost 0.2 yuan, rice was 1 yuan per catty, a bowl of beef noodles downstairs was 2 yuan, and housing prices in the county town were 1000 yuan per square meter."
"In 2011, a steamed bun cost 0.3-0.4 yuan, rice was over 2 yuan per catty, a bowl of beef noodles downstairs was 8 yuan, and housing prices in the county town were 4000 yuan per square meter!"
"If you put 100,000 yuan in the bank for ten years, the interest seems to have increased a little, but in reality, your purchasing power has been greatly reduced, depreciating by more than half! If it were invested in a house, it would have already appreciated by 300,000 yuan!"
"This..." Wang Shulin fell silent. What Wang Yi said was all true!
Wang Qing tapped on the table and nodded:
"Xiao Yi makes sense. Saving money is indeed not as good as buying a house at this stage. But how to specifically operate it and which neighborhood to buy in still depends on the situation's development!"
Wang Yi was overjoyed.
Dad had agreed!
The elderly couple never treated him like a child; instead, they discussed everything with him and would listen to their son's opinions.
This also led Wang Yi to be very opinionated from a young age:
"Dad is wise. I have a friend whose family works in the planning bureau, and I have a good relationship with him. According to him, the next two months will be the opportune moment. You all prepare the money, and once the news is confirmed, we'll make a move!"
"Really?" Wang Shulin couldn't help but ask.
Wang Qing, however, waved his hand:
"Don't ask about the specifics. This matter can be considered; even if it's not demolished, we won't lose money!"
Wang Shulin thought again:
"That's true, if the money is used to buy houses, your third younger brother won't bother us anymore. He's a bottomless pit! Wang Qing, you absolutely cannot be a brother-helper!"
Wang Qing: "..."
Previously, he lent his third uncle 300,000 yuan, and in the end, he was repaid with a used Vito van, at most worth 200,000 yuan.
Their family had already done more than enough for the third uncle.
Such a bottomless pit is really impossible to deal with.
But now, this matter has actually facilitated his parents' plan to buy a house!
By then, 300,000 yuan turning into a million yuan would also be excellent.
Wang Yi planned to use all the money he earned during the summer vacation to buy houses and quietly await the demolition in October.
When others asked why he bought so many houses, did he know about the demolition in advance?
Wang Yi would say that after he made money, his parents were afraid he'd squander it, so they forced him to buy houses, and who knew it would coincide with the demolition!
Perfect excuse!
Reborn individuals can exploit loopholes, but each time they do, it must be reasonable and logical...
Whether it's exploiting a loophole to get into a 985 university, or having a house demolished right after buying it, it's the same.
However, to be more convincing, these houses should be bought separately.
Buy one when enough money is earned by the end of July!
Then, buy another in August!
When there's money in September, buy another one!
This is more reasonable...
As for his parents' reason for buying houses, Wang Yi had also thought it through.
He would say that his mother was afraid of the third uncle, that bottomless pit, coming to borrow money, so she specifically bought houses!
This way, it's perfectly reasonable, and no matter how much their family gets from the demolition, others won't be able to say anything.
The plan was perfect, seamless!
Early morning, July 2nd, Xingwang Driving School.
Wu Kai, who had just registered, excitedly approached Lin Ziyi:
"Ziyi, why have you been ignoring me lately? You don't reply to my QQ messages, and you don't answer my calls."
Lin Ziyi frowned slightly:
"I don't want to reply."
"Why? Did I make you unhappy?"
Wu Kai's mouth twitched, and his expression was a bit grim.
Lin Ziyi looked embarrassed.
She couldn't just say, "Wang Yi doesn't reply to my messages, so I'm not replying to yours!"
"Wang Yi blocked my phone number, so I blocked yours too!"
She imposed the punishment Wang Yi gave her onto Wu Kai!
Lin Ziyi did this, but she really couldn't bring herself to say it!
Wu Kai saw his goddess's predicament and gently said:
"It's okay, Ziyi, I don't blame you!"
Lin Ziyi: "..."
"I guess you've been under a lot of stress learning to drive lately and didn't have time for me. I understand."
Lin Ziyi: "..."
Wu Kai said sincerely:
"It'll be better in the future. I've also registered, so we can learn to drive together!"
Lin Ziyi: "..."
"Ziyi, do you want milk tea? Or coffee? I'll go buy it for you!"
Lin Ziyi: "..."
Wu Qi, standing nearby, couldn't stand it anymore:
"Wu Kai, if you keep fawning like that, aren't you afraid of licking out a turd?"
"Hahahaha!"
Everyone burst into laughter, no longer able to hold it in.
Even Chu Chuanjun burst out laughing.
The impact of those words was much greater than "a simp deserves to die a horrible death"!
Sun Rui, who was drinking soy milk opposite, directly burst out laughing and sprayed Chu Chuanjun's face!
"Damn, that's scalding!"
The smile on Chu Chuanjun's face froze, he was furious, and stood up.
"Accident, pure accident. It was just too funny, I couldn't hold it in. Hahahaha!"
Sun Rui quickly apologized, but the smile on his face showed little sincerity.
The others were laughing so hard they couldn't straighten up.
Only Wu Kai's face turned beet red, trembling with anger.
Lin Ziyi was also furious:
"Wu Qi, what nonsense are you talking about! Vulgar!"
"It was a joke, I was just making a joke!" Wu Qi said sheepishly.
"Hooligan!"
Lin Ziyi was extremely angry and ran to the entrance alone.
She happened to see Wang Yi driving a Vito van past, and her heart immediately raced:
"Wang Yi, stop, I have something to tell you!"
Wang Yi glanced at Lin Ziyi, immediately hit the accelerator, and the Mercedes-Benz Vito sped away, leaving behind a trail of exhaust fumes.
Making money was important; as for Lin Ziyi, he couldn't be bothered with her!
"Damn it!"
"Bastard!"
"You're too much!"
Lin Ziyi stamped her foot in anger.
The more Wang Yi ignored her, the more unwilling she became, and the more she rushed to fawn over Wang Yi!
Watching this scene, Wu Kai, who had followed, turned ashen.
He fawned over Lin Ziyi, Lin Ziyi ignored him, but instead fawned over Wang Yi, and Wang Yi ignored Lin Ziyi!
What did that make him?
Wang Yi's simp's simp?
"Where exactly am I, Wu Kai, inferior to Wang Yi? Do I only deserve to be his simp's simp?"
In an instant, Wu Kai's mentality collapsed!
After a long time, he said fiercely:
"It's okay, Ziyi, don't be angry. Wang Yi is driving without a license, I'm going to report him right now!"
