One Piece: Groudon the Beasts

Chapter 127 The Buying Frenzy!

The astronomical price of 10 billion Berries directly elevated the Hoenn community to a whole new level, and also put immense pressure on those pirates who didn't have much money.

They really want to move in!
"Now, I declare!"

Goode clapped his hands.

Two huge banners slid down from the ceiling above the two sides of the stage, displaying the opening price of Fengyuan Community!
"Villa district, each villa is priced at 1 million Berries!"

"Residential apartments, priced at 1000 million Berries per unit!"

Unbelievable price!
The pirates felt a sudden tightening in their wallets.

Such a high price was clearly beyond their expectations.

Outside, a two-story residential building costs only around 100 million Berries, and a detached house would cost even less.

But they didn't think anything was wrong.

The problem isn't the housing prices; it's theirs!
The gate to the Hoenn residential area is engraved with the symbols of the Beasts and the Whitebeard Pirates. It is protected by two of the Four Emperors' crews, so as long as you can live here, your safety is absolutely guaranteed.

Safety!

The most luxurious thing in the world!
They also yearn for a comfortable living environment.

But that's not all!
Whitebeard! The Emperor of the Underworld!

It is such an honor to live with important people. Given their size, it is difficult for them to even meet these important people normally.

Once you move in, you're treated like royalty!
You're not just buying a house, you're also buying security and a sense of superiority!
"I want to buy!"

Some pirates excitedly stood up!
Even if he has to sell his pirate ship, he's going to move in!
"I want one too!"

"And I!"

Among the pirates present, many are quite famous captains, and they can easily come up with 1000 million Berries.

Receiving an invitation in itself demonstrates a certain level of ability.

In the blink of an eye, the pirates went on a buying frenzy.

They can't afford villas, or they're unwilling to buy them, but they can still afford apartments if they grit their teeth. Right now, everyone is scrambling to buy them, and it'll be too late to hesitate and regret it!

"Please do not rush, and line up properly!"

"One household purchase per person!"

"A deposit of 50 yuan is required for pre-orders!"

Goode held the microphone to maintain order, secretly delighted.

Fengyuan Community has a total of 1000 households, but only 500 people were invited this time, and only 500 households are planned to be sold in this batch.

Wait a month or two, then use these pirates to spread the word that the remaining half of the houses will be sold at a higher price!

It's going to rise by 30%, no, by 70%!

Property management fees cannot be reduced!

Jiejiejie~~
He's absolutely wicked!

"Stusi, let's go."

Good put his arm around Stussy's waist and headed towards the underground emperors' dining table. The buying frenzy in the hall was too intense right now, so they needed to find a quieter place to talk business.

A moment later, in the VIP room.

"Hey, Mr. Goode, I want to buy a villa. I'll probably come here to live when I retire."

"And us."

The bigwigs generously donated money, and each of them bought a villa, but they didn't use them to live in; they were just giving away money.

1 million peles is a lot, but it's nothing to them.

The key is to facilitate cooperation.

Only Morgans was genuinely interested in buying; his base was a ship that could move around, and he didn't own any islands, so there was no question of cooperation.

He used it for vacation.

Beehive Island is a pirate paradise, never lacking in news. Now that he has a safe place to stay, he can come here often in the future.

"You're too kind, everyone."

Goode was all smiles.

With the money from the villa area, he could earn 7 billion peggs in the first wave, and there would be nearly 10 billion more in income from the subsequent sale of the houses.

In addition, there are the continuous property fees and rents from facilities such as the commercial street, which can bring in a considerable amount of money every year.

The cost of less than 20 billion peggs was mainly due to the high cost of building materials and transportation, as well as the additional items purchased for renovations.

This is just one Hoenn community!
Of course, Beehive Island has a special status, so it will naturally earn more. Residential properties built on other islands won't fetch very high prices; they'll be about two or three times more expensive than normal housing prices.

Even so, it's still extremely profitable.

Furthermore, he felt his domineering aura growing stronger and stronger. The booming sales of Fengyuan Community were undoubtedly a great start, making him more and more confident in the path he had chosen.

He could already foresee the future; it wouldn't be long before he became the real estate tycoon of the new world.

Then, conquer the world!

Umit spoke first: "Mr. Goode, I would like to invite you to build a Hoenn community on my island as well."

“No problem!” Goode nodded with a smile.

“Mr. Umit, I also have a business I'd like to discuss with you.”

The Umit, a kingpin in the ocean shipping industry, is able to navigate the harsh environment of the New World with ease, which in itself demonstrates its formidable strength.

Even the Four Emperors couldn't do that!

Professional tasks should naturally be left to professionals!

The real estate industry is heavily reliant on transportation; not every island is like Wano Country, where everything is readily available.

Timber, stone, steel, etc.

These are the major components of transportation.

Moreover, as his real estate holdings increase, the transportation of supplies between islands will need to be handled by professionals.

Not only Umit, but everyone present is a king in their respective fields, which is the most important reason why they have been able to grow and become powerful in the cracks between the Four Emperors.

The Four Emperors could not replace them.

Goode glanced at the time and stood up: "I have some things to attend to here. You can discuss the specific details of the cooperation with Stussy. She is now in full charge of the operation of our Groudon Company."

"Ok."

The underground emperors all nodded in agreement.

In comparison, they would find it easier to collaborate with someone they knew, Stussy, even if Stussy was a ruthless woman.

Establishing the Hoenn community in their own backyard would also be beneficial to them. The biggest benefit would be ensuring the safety of the upper class and their property, and secondly, it would allow them to establish connections with the animals.

Although they are the underground emperors, they do not have enough deterrent power to keep the increasingly rampant pirates in check, so they desperately need the names of Beasts and Whitebeard.

It's like dealing with an older woman.

They enthusiastically participate in the annual tea party.

Ultimately, they still need the protection of the Four Emperors.

Goode went to the next room and greeted the captains.

"Marco, Ace, and all the captains."

"Mr. Goode."

Everyone said hello.

Seeing the inquisitive looks in everyone's eyes, Goode smiled and took out a key: "Marco hasn't told you yet, has he? Well, not only Mr. Whitebeard, but I've also prepared a villa for each of you."

"villa?"

The team leaders were startled and looked tense.

They can't afford it!
"Don't worry, it's free!"

Goode laughed and tossed the keys to the captains.

"You are shareholders, not only do you each get a villa, but you also get a share of the profits from this sale. Let me calculate, hmm, it's probably around 20 billion Berries!"

"20 billion Pele?!?"

The captains stared in shock, their mouths agape.

20 billion Pele, how much money is that?!

They couldn't raise that much money even in a whole year!
Goode narrowed his eyes slightly.

"And another thing, you will receive a dividend every year, not too much, only five or six hundred million Berries."

"Five or six hundred million!!!"

This isn't much?
The team leaders had no idea what to do.

The sum of 2 billion dollars, plus a villa worth 100 million dollars each, and an annual dividend of 500 to 600 million dollars.

Are they dreaming?
I've never been this rich in my life!
Joz held his pointed head.

"Marco, I feel a little dizzy, can you take a look at me quickly!"

"I'm dizzy too, no need to look."

Marco was equally dizzy.

He never expected to get so much money. The Whitebeard Pirates couldn't even steal 20 billion Berries from an enemy ship after a year of sailing!
How should we spend this money?

Good shook his head speechlessly.

They've gotten so carried away with such a small amount of money; they're just a bunch of country bumpkins who've never seen the world.

Ah, welcome to the world of the rich.

"By the way, Marco."

Goode looked at Marco.

"I'd like to see the old man with the white beard and talk to him about something!"

"It's right here in Fengyuan Residential Area!"
