Transmigrated into a Parvenu’s Ex-wife in the ‘90s Chapter 30 The Divorce (4)

Chapter 30 - The Divorce (4)
“Third Brother, please help me sell all of these houses.” After a little hesitation, Shu Yan added, “I don’t know how much money you have been making lately, but if you have some savings, you should buy one of them. Ye Zhiqiang has got good eyes. All of these were centrally located. Especially shop-front-house, I have no idea how he came across it. I heard words that this area would be turned into a pedestrian street. It’s only now that you can buy this if you have money.
If I wasn’t trying to avoid further hassle with Ye Zhiqiang, I’d never sell this. I know Third Brother is nice to me, so I need to give you some genuine advice as well. Don’t stay in your current business for too long. Who knows when the government is going to crack down again. Just look at Ye Zhiqiang; he has never been to school either and now he’s a business owner. You can only do better than him, Third Brother. And you have all your men under you. If you go into the construction business, you have both the resources and manpower, it wouldn’t take much to be successful.”
They said back in the 90s, there were gold on the ground for everyone to pick up. Shu Jianyang was a smart man. If he decided to go straight, he just might be even more successful than Ye Zhiqiang in the future.
Shu Jianyang felt very tempted after hearing Shu Yan’s words. As he got older, he started to think about getting married and having kids. Once he had that idea, he started to want to settle down. Unfortunately, his trade was very dangerous. One never knew when one would die; how do one get married and have kids? Just like his cousin said, he’s smart, he has money and resources, why couldn’t he go into construction like Ye Zhiqiang?
Or, he could be even bolder and just buy land and build the houses himself.
Shu Yan had no idea yet exactly how bold her cousin was.
“Let me think about it. House? My dad wanted me to go home and build a house there,” Shu Jianyang said, troubled.
If he wanted to start his own business, he must allocate some money toward that. That would leave him with money only enough for one of the houses. And if he needed to build a house back home, then he wouldn’t even have enough for that.
“You only go back for a few days every year around new year time, what was the point of building a house there? Of course it makes more sense to buy one in the city. It’s not easy to buy a house in the city that’s nicely located, but you can build a house back home any time.” Shu Yan knew that the older generation always had the idea to return to one’s root. There was no concept to invest in real estate back in these days.
Shu Jianyang was a fearless person; otherwise, he wouldn’t be so successful today. He felt that Shu Yan’s suggestion was feasible so he decided to follow through with it. He immediately registered for a company and started it right on the second floor of that shop-front-house.
He listened to Shu Yan’s suggestion and bought the house from her. It cost $300,000, and he paid for it without even blinking an eye.
It looked like her cousin had made quite a few bucks the last few years, being able to whip out $300,000 just like that. No wonder so many people joined the gang; surely it was a quick way to riches.
Shu Jianyang’s brothers bought two more of the remaining four houses. They couldn’t resist after Shu Jianyang gloated to them about his purchase. Twenty years from now, they would get together, think about this day and be happy about their decisiveness today.
All Shu Yan has left now was to sell the house that original owner was staying in plus the one that belonged to Li Jiaojiao, then she’d be able to take the money, leave City Xi with her children, and start afresh in a city where nobody knew them.
