Chapter 431: Several Phone Calls, Changing Yun City
Yun City is restarting the development plan for Nanshan District. Those with a keen sense of opportunity have already started taking action. As they say, the early bird catches the worm, and the faster you move, the better your chances to make money.
Mingshi Century was snapped up in a buying frenzy, marking the first influx of funds. And this is just the beginning, merely an appetizer!
Within just a morning, Mingshi Century was sold out, and 200 million yuan flowed into the coffers of the Wei Family Company.
The Wei Family Company had initially invested in building Mingshi Century, but after experiencing a pause in the Nanshan District development plan, Mingshi Century fell into slow sales, and the Wei Family Company was tied up.
At one point, the Wei Family Company considered this project a failure that caused significant financial losses.
Now, with everything sold out all at once, the funds have returned, and they've made a considerable profit.
As the helmsman of the company, Elder Wei was overjoyed.
Previously, the Wei Family had just received a 1 billion investment from Wanjin Group, solving their urgent crisis and saving the company. Now, they've gained another 200 million, which is simply a double blessing.
"Great! The Wei Family is going to thrive!" exclaimed Elder Wei, brimming with excitement.
Amidst the excitement, Elder Wei was extremely curious about how Lin Fan managed to sell out Mingshi Century.
"What? Lin Fan got the Nanshan District development plan restarted?" Elder Wei said in shock, "How did he do it?"
Wei Family Company, Sales Department.
Everyone looked at Lin Fan, waiting for his answer.
They were so curious because, according to their information, for the past two weeks, Lin Fan had been visiting Mingshi Century every day, wandering around, making a few calls, seemingly doing nothing.
Lin Fan said, "For the past two weeks, I've been surveying Nanshan District and found enormous development potential there. So, I tried writing an assessment report and submitted it to the city government, suggesting they restart the Nanshan District development plan. I didn't expect..."
Huh?
Everyone was stunned.
Is that even possible?
Surveying for two weeks, writing an assessment report for the city government, and the government accepted Lin Fan's suggestion, actually restarting the Nanshan District development plan?
This has to be a joke!
Of course, it's a joke.
Lin Fan was just bluffing. He didn't write any assessment report; however, he did do something.
For the past two weeks, Lin Fan had indeed been surveying Nanshan District and saw tremendous business opportunities there. Like Daya Bay, Nanshan District has boundless potential and is a prime piece of real estate!
Moreover, with the development plan for Nanshan District on pause, it was neglected by everyone, making it the perfect time to stake a claim.
That day, Lin Fan was wandering through Nanshan District.
"Ding!"
"System task release!"
"Task: Acquire land in Nanshan District.
Task Level: Important.
Task Progress: 0/100"
Lin Fan chuckled. It seemed the system shared his vision. The system immediately issued a task to acquire land.
So, to complete the system's task, Lin Fan made a few calls and acquired prime land in Nanshan District at a price so low it made others envious.
But that wasn't all!
The connections Lin Fan had built up recently came into play.
Lin Fan began inviting Yun City's bigwigs to set up shop in Nanshan District!
As Yun City's new richest man, Lin Fan had astonishing influence, with people responding to his call almost immediately.
For a time, many leading figures in Yun City's business world took an intense interest in Nanshan District, a place that had been untouched for so long.
Faced with this, the Yun City Government couldn't ignore it. As a result, the land prices in Nanshan District skyrocketed overnight. However, it was too late; Lin Fan had already acquired the prime land cheaply. The city government, going with the flow, urgently held a meeting and decided to restart Nanshan District's development plan.
In the eyes of the Wei Family Company staff, for the past two weeks, Lin Fan seemed to wander aimlessly in Nanshan District, either making calls or appearing idle.
They would never have dreamed that those few phone calls from Lin Fan would change Yun City.
Initially, Lin Fan went to Nanshan District because of the Wei Family, but eventually, the Wei Family's matter became the least important. His goal became to make something big happen in Nanshan District.
For now, Yun City hasn't officially announced anything, but that hasn't stopped Nanshan District from bustling with activity, becoming a new battleground for capital.
Facing Wei Qingxue's inquiries, Lin Fan temporarily didn't want to reveal his identity in the Wei Family, so he couldn't disclose the truth and could only say he submitted an assessment report to the city government.
Lin Fan knew this explanation was hardly convincing, but he didn't care at all.
They could choose to believe it or not. Regardless, he had already sold out Mingshi Century, and that fact couldn't be denied by anyone.
All the members of the Wei Family were breaking out in a cold sweat.
No way, did the city government really accept Lin Fan's suggestion? This is too unbelievable!
Wei Family Mansion.
Elder Wei was sweating profusely: "Lin Fan wrote an assessment report, submitted it to the city government, and the city government decided to restart the Nanshan District development plan?"
"Impossible!"
Elder Wei stood up.
"What is Lin Fan trying to portray himself as? He's just a delivery guy. How could an assessment report he wrote have such an effect? I simply don't believe it!"
"There's only one explanation. Lin Fan was just a lucky fluke, a blind cat stumbling upon a dead mouse. The city's reboot of the Nanshan development plan had nothing to do with his report, it's just sheer luck!"
Elder Wei finally arrived at a reasonable explanation and concluded it was the only plausible one.
Lin Fan was just lucky!
But even so, Mingshi Century was indeed sold out by Lin Fan, and the credit should go to him.
"Lin Fan's performance this month surpassed 200 million. He ranked first in performance and became this month's MVP, promoted to Ace Sales!"
Everyone who was waiting to see Lin Fan make a joke of himself this time received a resoundingly loud slap in the face.
At the Wei Family Company, no one dared to look down on Lin Fan anymore. If Lin Fan were considered a failure, where would that leave them? Who were they looking down on?
Even within the Wei Family, everyone started to see this son-in-law in a new light.
That evening, after work.
Wei Qingxue and Lin Fan returned home.
As soon as they entered, they smelled the aroma of a sumptuous meal.
The mother-in-law, Li Xueyan, surprisingly had made a lavish dinner. Since Lin Fan entered the Wei Family, he had never seen such a grand display.
"My son-in-law is back. This table of dishes is prepared for you, to celebrate your achievement. Come over and sit down; we can eat soon," Li Xueyan said warmly, pulling Lin Fan in.
Was this the same mother-in-law who previously gave Lin Fan the cold shoulder and spoke harshly?
It was like she had become a different person!
Lin Fan had long anticipated this. Li Xueyan was just an opportunist. Before, when he was a delivery guy, she looked down on him no matter what. Now, having achieved success, naturally, her attitude has shifted.
"Thank you, mother-in-law," Lin Fan smiled slightly and bluntly took a seat.
Li Xueyan pulled Wei Qingxue aside and asked in a low voice, "Daughter, I heard Little Fan made over 200 million in performance today. Roughly how much is his commission?"
Wei Qingxue broke into a sweat, realizing her mother was, as always, most concerned about money.
Wei Qingxue said, "According to the company's commission formula, it's about 5 million."
"5 million!" Li Xueyan practically burst with joy.
The son-in-law she used to look down upon had, in an instant, become a millionaire worth 5 million.
