Chapter 41. I Am Ji Wanxian
Teacher Ma wondered if he had misheard.
Two hundred and fifty million for a piece of land?
Quite far from Shenzhen.
Even though such big news had broken…
He couldn’t have known about it right away.
Now, hearing Ma Tengyun say this…
He began to question his own understanding…
“Wasn’t that place an abandoned construction site?”
Back during the auction…
Teacher Ma and Cai Chongxin had attended together.
He was well aware of the situation at the time…
The bidding had only gone up by the minimum increment.
If it had really been that valuable,
Would those real estate companies have been fools?
Especially someone like Ms. Ji…
Given her influence, if something was worth knowing, wouldn’t she have known?
“Yes, it was indeed an abandoned construction site.”
“But now, a prestigious school district has been planned there.”
“The best affiliated high school in Shenzhen.”
“Right now, there’s hardly any land left to buy nearby.”
“Only Mr. Mo’s plot remains.”
“The price of two hundred and fifty million—I think it’s just the beginning.”
Ma Tengyun gradually calmed down.
Feeling secretly pleased…
He suddenly realized something.
No matter what Mr. Mo did,
All he had to do was nod and agree.
He had to act as if it were the most natural thing in the world!
“Tengyun, back then, I thought Mr. Mo was being too impulsive.”
“But now… it seems my perspective was too narrow.”
“Being by Mr. Mo’s side…”
“Has really changed you.”
Ma Tengyun felt another surge of quiet satisfaction.
Bilan Real Estate Company.
At this moment, CEO Sun Qingqing urgently called Ji Wanxian.
In the real estate circle…
That piece of land, which had repeatedly failed to sell at auction,
Had suddenly become the hottest commodity!
That land had been universally despised.
Whoever bought it would lose money.
After all… there had been no urban development plans nearby.
Just an abandoned construction site…
After Li Mo bought it,
The incident had become a topic of casual conversation in Shenzhen’s real estate circles.
Everyone was scrambling to buy that land.
Some were even willing to pay seven or eight times the original price.
Li Mo still had no intention of selling.
“What is it? I’m at the Telecommunications Bureau.”
Liu Qingqing spoke cautiously:
“Ms. Ji, there’s an incredibly valuable piece of land.”
“It’s now part of a school district.”
“Buying it would guarantee the highest returns.”
Inside the Telecommunications Bureau…
Ji Wanxian, dressed in her uniform, was surprised by the news.
For Liu Qingqing to call her personally…
It must be an exceptionally good deal.
“In that case, go ahead and buy it.”
“Don’t we still have a few hundred million in liquid assets?”
Liu Qingqing hesitated.
“Well… that might be a bit difficult.”
“Do you remember the last auction?”
Ji Wanxian hummed in acknowledgment…
She had personally attended every auction for Bilan Real Estate.
Their cash flow was nearly exhausted.
She remembered the last auction particularly well.
Especially that one person who bought the repeatedly unsold plot.
For thirty-one million.
“It’s that same piece of land that kept failing to sell.”
“Now, people are offering two hundred and fifty million for it.”
“That company’s probably being flooded with offers.”
Ji Wanxian fell silent for a moment.
She said, “Understood. Try reaching out to them.”
Ji Wanxian recalled that day’s events.
That day, through an introduction,
She had met those internet entrepreneurs.
When it came to the internet…
Ji Wanxian had never been particularly interested.
When Li Mo had told her about his QQ,
She hadn’t taken it seriously.
That day’s scene replayed in her mind.
She pulled up the news…
And carefully read about that piece of land.
This was the kind of deal where even a fool could make money.
But now, acquiring it…
Would likely cost many times the original price!
She remained as composed and untouchable as ever.
Not a trace of regret or frustration showed on her face.
She looked down on ordinary people like them.
Ji Wanxian called Liu Qingqing again.
Ji Wanxian asked, “Do you know about QQ?”
Liu Qingqing quickly replied.
“Yes, QQ is an instant messaging platform that suddenly became popular these past two months.”
“You just apply for a QQ number, and you can chat online.”
“You can even create group chats to talk with multiple people at once.”
“Our company uses it to notify employees about work matters.”
Ji Wanxian couldn’t help but feel a flicker of interest.
She hung up the phone.
It seemed she would have to handle this matter herself.
After a quick online search…
She found QQ’s official website.
Following the instructions…
She installed it effortlessly, and soon a penguin icon appeared on her desktop.
She began registering step by step.
“Having such a software on the internet is certainly convenient.”
“But… how does it make money?”
After searching for a while…
She couldn’t find any paid features.
She knew a little about internet companies.
Giants like NetEase, Sohu, and Sina were household names.
She had even considered investing in them early on…
Most of their equity was held overseas.
None of them were willing to sell shares.
She had lost interest in the internet industry.
After analyzing it for a while…
This was a company that couldn’t turn a profit.
There was something undeniably intriguing about Li Mo.
When he bought that land…
He hadn’t hesitated at all.
Now, it was clear he had known what he was doing.
“I think his QQ number was 100.”
Now that she thought about it…
If Li Mo’s QQ hadn’t been such a memorable number,
She wouldn’t have remembered it at all.
Li Mo sat in his office, waiting for real estate developers to negotiate prices.
He wouldn’t even consider selling for less than three hundred million.
Now, it was just a matter of who would offer the highest bid.
He heard his QQ notification sound.
Checking the friend request…
“The username is Ji Wanxian.”
Li Mo recalled the stunningly beautiful woman in the black dress and high heels at the auction.
Her aristocratic elegance was unforgettable.
Most men, faced with her aura, wouldn’t dare entertain any romantic notions.
After accepting the request…
Ji Wanxian immediately sent a message.
“We met at the auction.”
