"Yang, I’ve paid the taxes for you and managed to get twenty million for you. It will be transferred to your account today. Once we formalize the procedures a bit more, no one will raise any issues," Huifang’s call came through.
"What method did you use?"
"The two of us sisters each took a portion, anyway, you don’t need to worry about it, the money is definitely fine, and it’s about the same as the market price."
"Didn’t it just double? There shouldn’t be that much money, right?"
"That’s the market price. Right now, even paying the money may not guarantee you a house, prices have risen and are still rising. Many people have come after learning about the situation here."
Ji Yang knew there was some premium involved, but anyway, for Huifang and others, they were definitely making money from this, just a bit less than they could have.
"We will also do some promotion. Once the word gets out that you’ve made money, the price will definitely be pushed even higher."
"Withdrawing so much real estate, it won’t affect the price, right?"
"You’re joking. How could that be possible? Rest assured, everyone is going to make a big profit this time. In fact, it’s entirely possible that prices could double again with the current rate of increase."
"I just want you guys not to lose money."
Not long after Huifang’s call, Ji Yang’s account received twenty million.
Ji Yang did not know how Huifang had operated, but as far as he was concerned, the matter was concluded.
"Chief Ji, I heard you’ve pulled out of real estate?"
In the afternoon, someone inquired.
Ji Yang smiled and said, "Initially, I invested to support the development of the village. Now that everyone wants to buy, I won’t compete with everyone for profit."
"From the current look of things, the housing prices will still soar. You’ve pulled out too early!"
"I don’t care about making money. I never intended to in the first place. It’s good that everyone makes money."
"Chief Ji’s enlightenment is truly high!"
"Yes, Chief Ji is wholeheartedly devoted to the development of the entire village."
Listening to everyone’s discussion, Ji Yang didn’t say much. No matter what the intentions behind their words, Ji Yang wouldn’t take them to heart.
At that moment, Huang Yu also came to Ji Yang’s office and asked, "Have you really pulled out completely?"
"Yes, didn’t I tell you last time?"
"That’s really a big loss, you might lose quite a bit."
"I’ve already made too much."
"What do you plan to do with this money next?"
"I don’t understand much about these things; I’ll invest it in the stock market."
"That place is not a good one; too many people have invested and lost. Don’t lose it all."
"If I lose it, then I lose it."
"How will you invest?"
"I don’t understand these things. I’ll just go for the significantly dropped stocks, especially those state-owned ones, preferably those around one or two yuan that have decent performance and won’t be delisted anytime soon."
"Those major stocks are hard to rise."
"Not in a hurry for money, let’s consider it a long-term investment."
Huang Yu just shook his head and sighed, "You really don’t treat money as money."
Ji Yang laughed and said, "Keeping it in the bank is also just collecting dust, might as well give it a try."
Huang Yu said, "I heard some news; big changes are coming. I’ve also made some moves, going to work at the county committee organization department."
"That’s a good channel you have."
"Anyway, I was idle. The transfer order will come soon. They couldn’t wait for me to ask to leave."
After discussing this, Huang Yu hurriedly left.
Ji Yang opened the computer and looked for a while, selecting a resource-type stock that had fallen to less than two yuan. He then checked the performance, which had always been as such, neither good nor bad, but there were some institutions involved.
Since he already had an account, Ji Yang quickly made the operations and then invested the entire twenty million.
And believe it or not, due to Ji Yang’s investment, the stock did indeed perk up a bit.
However, ultimately, the money was insufficient to create much of a stir.
After finishing this, Ji Yang didn’t bother anymore and let it sit in the stock market.
At this time, Shuyuan’s call came in.
Looking around to ensure privacy, Ji Yang still respectfully said, "Secretary Chu, what are your orders?" Tʜe sourcᴇ of thɪs content ɪs novｅlfire.net
Shuyuan smiled and said, "There’s something I need to tell you. You might have to stay in Qingyuan Village for a while."
"Wasn’t I supposed to be transferred?"
After a pause, Shuyuan continued, "This time, every family wants to place someone in Qingyuan Village; one reason is for a golden touch, and another is to monitor the situation with the Chu Family’s company. The Chu Family has transferred a junior member there, and other families will also send their juniors. This way, they are completely unfamiliar with the situation in Qingyuan Village."
"Does that mean I should lead them?"
"It could be said so. They are all inexperienced, especially the Chu Family’s people; you could help them out."
"But I can’t be a nanny, can I?"
"What’s mainly expected is that you support him at critical moments, and whatever happens to his development, good or bad, has nothing to do with you."
Ji Yang understood that having himself stay would mean the Chu Family essentially had an extra vote.
"What’s my position?"
Ji Yang nodded inwardly; regardless, it was a bit higher up, which was good for him.
"Alright, but just to be clear, I can’t guarantee that the Chu Family’s people will be trouble-free."
"That’s natural. Just do your job, and nobody will trouble you with these things; I’ll assist you."
Ji Yang was ready to leave, but it turned out he couldn’t. All he could do was give a wry smile.
