Supremely Talented Tyrant-Chapter 592: The True Value

"Ten football fields? My God, are you that rich?" Xiao Qiang was flabbergasted, for he knew Shu Ya didn't deal in real estate, which must mean that the land belonged personally to Hao Jian.

"Someone gave it to me." Hao Jian revealed a smug smile.

"Someone gave it to you? Who would be so generous? Why would he give it to you?" Xiao Qiang was utterly at a loss. It seemed too good to be true in this world.

"I guess they thought I was handsome!" Hao Jian laughed heartily.

Hearing this, Xiao Qiang frowned, "Have you clung to a rich lady again?"

"Pah, don't make me sound like a gigolo!" Hao Jian glared at Xiao Qiang angrily, "Is it my fault I'm handsome? Is it also my fault that I'm sexy, charming, and irresistible to women?"

"Fine, let's pretend I never asked, alright? I don't want to ask any further." Xiao Qiang waved her hand with a helpless expression, fearful that if she continued, Hao Jian would start boasting intolerably.

Late, Hao Jian and Xiao Qiang headed to the land, joined by Liu Rizhao and Zhao Hanlin.

Since Liu Rizhao was also a real estate developer, he knew quite a lot about the business, so Hao Jian planned to get his opinion as well.

When Zhao Hanlin saw the land, he too was amazed, then he became overjoyed.

A plot of land this big—if their construction team took the job, they would definitely make a fortune.

"How long do you think it will take to complete this land?" Hao Jian asked Zhao Hanlin.

"With the speed of our construction team, it should be possible within two years, possibly even a year and a half!" Zhao Hanlin said, quite confident as their team was truly exceptional.

Hao Jian nodded, then turned to Liu Rizhao, "What do you think of this land?"

"Don't just focus on real estate, consider building a commercial center here. Look, Mr. Hao Jian, it's backed by the sea and suitable for living, but this area has developed transportation, next to the subway, and everything from banks, department stores, educational institutions, and residential areas, is readily available. Once a commercial center is built, business would definitely boom, and it could even become an iconic building," Liu Rizhao suggested. In his view, using the entire plot for residential purposes would be somewhat wasteful.

Listening to this, Hao Jian also felt Liu Rizhao made some sense—building a commercial center could attract many renowned brands, and the annual franchise fees alone would be a considerable sum, definitely earning more than real estate.

Suddenly, as they were discussing the planning, a group of people approached, and it was indeed Murong Yeyun.

"Hey, Hao Jian, long time no see," Murong Yeyun waved at Hao Jian, a cigar in his mouth, intentionally spitting a load of thick phlegm on the ground, looking extremely uncouth.

Seeing Murong Yeyun appear, Hao Jian was also puzzled and asked, "What are you doing here?"

"I heard this land is yours, so I thought about making a deal with you," Murong Yeyun said with a smile, clearly he had also noticed this plot of land.

Hearing this, Hao Jian also smiled playfully, "What kind of deal? You're not thinking about wanting my land, are you?"

"Exactly, I'd like you to sell this land to me. Regarding the price, I'll definitely make you satisfied," Murong Yeyun indeed had his eyes on the land. Actually, he had come to Hua City just so he could make a mark here, impressing his family with some achievements.

Because only then would they begin to take him seriously, thereby giving the family business into his hands!

Now, Murong Qiushui was the decision-maker of the Murong Family. If Murong Yeyun wanted to change this situation, he had to put on a strong performance.

And this land, Murong Yeyun had already planned out—constructing a commercial center here, and maybe even a Disneyland, promising a future filled with vast profits.

Obviously, Murong Yeyun also knew this was a prime piece of real estate. He originally planned to bid for it, only to find out the land had already changed hands. And the owner was none other than Hao Jian, and although reluctant, Murong Yeyun had no choice but to come negotiate with Hao Jian.

"I refuse!" Hao Jian shook his head directly.

Hearing this, Murong Yeyun also looked displeased, "Why? If you want to develop it, you'll need to invest a huge sum of money initially, and who knows when it will actually start to profit. Plus, I just heard that you plan to build a residential area, right? That's simply wasteful! If you transform it into an amusement park, its annual profit could match the revenue from developing a residential area!"

"But if I were to buy it from you? You'd get an amount of money you couldn't spend in a lifetime and wouldn't have to invest so much. Why wouldn't you want that?" Murong Yeyun's eyes locked onto Hao Jian, his desire for the land clear.

Because Murong Yeyun could already see the potential value of the land.

"How much are you willing to offer?" Hao Jian asked with a smile. Although he didn't want to sell, he was curious to know how much Murong Yeyun craved the land.

"Forty billion!" Murong Yeyun blurted out, the price was twice the market value of the land.

Just then, Liu Rizhao whispered a few words to Hao Jian's ear.

Consequently, Hao Jian couldn't help but laugh, "Unfortunately, the experts around me tell me that the commercial value of this land exceeds four billion!"

Indeed, if developed into a commercial center and residential area, the yield of this land would definitely exceed four billion.

"Five billion!" Murong Yeyun continued.

"Not selling!"

"Six billion!"

"Not selling!"

"Seven billion!"

"Not selling!"

"One hundred billion!" Murong Yeyun finally lost his temper, directly planning to spend one hundred billion to buy this plot of land.

"Young Master, this is beyond our budget," a man behind Murong Yeyun hurriedly interjected at this point.

The price offered by Murong Yeyun deviated from his initial budget; originally, they had planned to buy this plot for no more than sixty billion.

Even reaching seventy billion was already a lot for Yeyun, but offering one hundred billion was completely profitless.

In his opinion, although the land was large, it wasn't enough to earn one hundred billion. Even if it could make that much, it would take twenty or thirty years, making the returns too minimal to justify the investment.

"You don't understand, he isn't only interested in this piece of land but also in this coastal area. Later, he can build a port here, exclusively for import and export trade, and the huge profits could cover the one hundred billion investment in just a few years," Hao Jian sneered.

Upon hearing this, Liu Rizhao and Murong Yeyun were both shocked, and then Liu Rizhao also quickly looked towards the sea, suddenly realizing that this sea route could indeed lead directly internationally. By then, Murong Yeyun could hire several merchant ships and engage in global trade, and with the Murong Family's powerful background, Murong Yeyun could monopolize, implementing a monopoly.

By then, not only could Murong Yeyun engage in maritime trade, but other groups would also have to go through them, naturally bringing in a continuous flow of wealth.

At this very moment, Liu Rizhao was utterly admiring towards Hao Jian, having failed to notice this detail that Hao Jian had noticed.

Murong Yeyun also couldn't help but frown deeply, not expecting Hao Jian to have seen through his intentions.

And now, Hao Jian laughed again, saying to Murong Yeyun, "Although you consistently said that you planned to transform this place into a commercial center and a playground, building a port was your true intention, the playground and commercial center were just incidental."

"How did you find out?" Murong Yeyun's expression darkened somewhat.

"The price you offered was too high, so high that it even made me somewhat incredulous. Because just now my consultant here told me that the forty billion you offered was already high. Yet, it was just a minor lie from me that made you show your hand. The higher the price you offered, the more it told me the greater value of this land, so it made me think, what about this land caught your attention? Then I thought of its bordering the sea!" Hao Jian cheerfully said.

Upon hearing this, Murong Yeyun was immediately startled, realizing that Hao Jian was tricking him?

It was unimaginable for Murong Yeyun that Liu Rizhao had just told Hao Jian that the price was already very good; Murong Yeyun had thought Hao Jian was truly finding the amount too little, hence the deliberate price hike.

At this moment, Murong Yeyun was incredibly angry, "Damn it, who told me this guy was brave but not clever? Stand out! See if I don't beat you to death!"

And Liu Rizhao was also stupefied, originally thinking that Hao Jian was only intimidating in terms of physical strength, but now it seemed his intellect was also terrifying.

At the side, Xiao Qiang was also somewhat flabbergasted, originally thinking she understood Hao Jian well, but now it seemed she did not.

Murong Yeyun's expression grew extremely ugly, was it he who had disclosed the value of this land to Hao Jian?

"Now that I understand the value of this land, do you think I would still sell it?" Hao Jian sneered, especially since Shu Ya Group was currently expanding internationally, later when they start selling jewelry all over the world, if they could establish a water route, they could completely save a substantial amount in transportation costs.

Moreover, maritime transport had another advantage, that later even if Hao Jian wanted to smuggle some contraband, he could easily transport it into the country.

In an instant, Murong Yeyun's expression turned even uglier, "So you were testing me all this time?"

"Rather than saying I was testing you, I would say I was testing the value of this land! But thank you, now I know how valuable this land is," Hao Jian proudly laughed, and then turning his head to Zhao Hanlin said, "Take note, after the residential area, build a port for me!"
