Reborn in 85: Starting with a family split and becoming the richest man, the ungrateful wretch regre

"Excessive profits?" Li Xingran asked thoughtfully, "In your opinion, how much will housing prices rise in the next ten years?"

“It will increase at least three times.” Lu Yang said calmly, “Currently, it’s around 1700 per square meter in some areas, but it will rise to 4,000 to 5,000 per square meter in ten years.”

Li Xingran blinked, and then heard Lu Yang continue, "It will continue to rise in the future, at least for several more decades. The golden age of real estate has not yet arrived."

Li Xingran pursed his lips, lost in thought. He had previously wanted to persuade his parents to start a business as well.

But his parents are rather old-fashioned and don't like doing business. Now I'm just advising them to buy a house; they'll definitely make money in the future.

He trusted Lu Yang, after all, Lu Yang was capable of doing business and his business acumen was definitely better than his own.

After taking a shower, the two returned to their dorm room and went to bed.

After finishing his class on Friday afternoon, Lu Yang bought plane tickets and went to Kyoto with Li Xingran.

The Kyoto of today is different from the Kyoto Lu Yang saw on TV more than ten years later; it doesn't look prosperous enough.

Although there are some tall buildings, most of the buildings are not very tall.

Li Xingran took Lu Yang directly to his relative's house, which was for sale. Lu Yang's eyes turned red when he saw the house.

This is a traditional courtyard house, and the house is very well preserved. Although it is not inside the Second Ring Road and the location is not very good, it has the advantage of being large in area.

Li Xingran whispered, "The biggest problem with this house is the unclear property rights. There used to be four households living in this courtyard, but now only my relative's family is still living there. The other three families have moved to other places."

"If you want to buy this house, you need to find three other households to sign property ownership contracts."

Lu Yang laughed and said, "It's okay, I'd buy thirteen households, let alone three."

Li Xingran tilted her head and looked at Lu Yang, clearly seeing that Lu Yang was very interested in the house.

After the two entered the door, Li Xingran called out, "Third Uncle, I've found someone to buy you a house."

A middle-aged man wearing glasses came out of the main house, looking disheveled and seemingly doing nothing.

Upon seeing Li Xing, he immediately said, "I don't know what your parents were thinking, insisting that you study in China."

"You're such a good student, you should go study abroad. Your parents have held you back!"

Uncle San shook his head with a regretful expression and muttered under his breath, "Misleading the young!"

Li Xingran smiled nonchalantly and said, "Third Uncle, this is the person who found land for you to buy a house."

Third Uncle adjusted his glasses and looked at Lu Yang, frowning involuntarily: "He doesn't look wealthy. I won't sell this house for less than 15,000."

Lu Yang suppressed a laugh. Although he only lived until 2000 in his previous life, he remembered that by then, a courtyard house had already cost several million.

This kind of business is much more profitable than doing business in Guangzhou, and it doesn't require much effort. Once the property rights are confirmed, you can just leave it here.

Lu Yang immediately smiled and said, "Deal, let's sign the contract."

Do you know where the other three families live?

My third uncle was somewhat surprised and couldn't help but ask, "Are you an overseas Chinese who returned to China?"

Lu Yang was speechless. People like this always think that there is gold everywhere overseas.

He was too lazy to expose him, and urged with a smile, "Could you have contacted those three companies?"

Third Uncle thought Lu Yang had tacitly agreed, and his expression immediately became much warmer.

"Okay, I'll call them right away!"

Uncle San said this and ran out the door to the nearby convenience store. He made three phone calls in a row.

The person on the phone sounded very impatient, but when the locals heard that the house was for sale and at a high price, they all said they would come as soon as possible.

The three of them decided to find a small noodle shop nearby and sit down. Lu Yang ordered three bowls of noodles, one for each of them.

After waiting for half an hour, two families arrived.

The third cousin introduced Lu Yang and Li Xingran to the two of them, and the two families sat on the side waiting for the last family to arrive.

Lu Yang also ordered noodles for them. One person came from each of the two households: a middle-aged man wearing black-rimmed glasses and a middle-aged woman.

The middle-aged man ate a few mouthfuls of noodles in silence, then said with some helplessness, "The roof of this house is leaking a bit; you'd better fix it."

Lu Yang nodded gratefully. He hadn't gone to the roof to check, so he really didn't know about the leak.

My third uncle didn't mention this matter at all in order to sell the house as soon as possible.

The middle-aged woman glanced at her third cousin, her eyes practically rolling to the sky: "Young man, are you really going to buy this house?"

Lu Yang nodded: "Yes, I especially like this kind of ancient architecture."

"Auntie, do you know any other people who want to buy it? I want to buy it too."

The middle-aged woman was clearly stunned; she had never expected Lu Yang to give such an answer.

The middle-aged man looked up and said, "I know a place, a bit closer to here, near the Third Ring Road, and it's more expensive."

Lu Yang was somewhat excited: "Could you tell me the approximate address? I plan to go and take a look."

The middle-aged man took out a pen and paper from his bag, quickly wrote down an address, and handed it to Lu Yang.

After taking the address, Lu Yang looked at it carefully and quickly thanked him.

At this moment, the third resident arrived, a tall woman in her thirties.

After everyone arrived, they discussed the house price together, and the final transaction price was 14,800.

It was too late, so the group agreed to go to complete the transfer procedures at eight o'clock the next morning.

After leaving her third cousin's house, Li Xingran took Lu Yang to his house.

His home is located near the Fourth Ring Road. The house is spacious, but empty. Even at 10 p.m., there is no one in the house.

Li Xingran seemed to be used to it: "My parents are usually quite busy."

Lu Yang nodded and agreed to spend the night at his place.

The next morning, he took a taxi to the real estate bureau. The transfer procedures were extremely complicated and took two whole days to complete.

Fortunately, the efficiency here is quite good, and since my third uncle was in a hurry to sell the house, he found someone to help him.

Lu Yang finally breathed a sigh of relief when he received the property ownership certificate.

He took out 14,800 yuan in front of the four people and asked them to confirm in person that there were no problems.

The four checked it over, then divided it into four equal parts and went their separate ways.

Judging from their demeanor, it's clear that these four people don't get along well.

After they all left, Lu Yang headed straight for the airport.

Li Xingran was already waiting for him at the airport. When she saw him coming, she immediately waved to him, and the two hurriedly rushed to catch their flight.

By the time I got back to school, it was almost dark.

Lu Yang rubbed his neck, told Li Xingran to find a restaurant and eat, and then returned to his dormitory.

Lu Yang opened the wardrobe, threw the property certificate into the cabinet, locked it, and went to bed.

Zhou Yunkai couldn't help but ask, "Did you guys go to Beijing for fun?"

Li Xingran said with a smile, "I dragged him to Beijing to buy a house. I have a third cousin who is particularly fond of foreign things. Every time we get together, he keeps praising the West. It's so annoying."

"He just happened to be planning to cash out and go abroad, so I asked Lu Yang if he was interested in buying a house, and he agreed."
