Chapter 602 - 585: Persuasion Through Intoxication
Before the stock market crash turbulence, Nie Zhan collaborated with Xinxin Real Estate to acquire the piece of land on ’Garden Road’ in Central. This land is remarkable, with an area as large as 92,000 square feet, making it the last valuable plot in Central. Because of this, a total of eight consortia participated in the bidding, including Wansheng Real Estate and Xinxin Real Estate, Cheung Kong Holdings, New World Development, New World, Heng Ji, Chang Rong, Nan Fen, etc.
The competition for this auction was extremely fierce. Fortunately, Lu Jiaxin had just sold a large amount of property and stocks, leaving her with sufficient funds. Nie Zhan ultimately secured this piece of land. According to his plan, two financial towers would be built, one serving as the headquarters for Wan Sheng Bank, marking them with iconic architecture; the other for Lu Jiaxin, where several of her companies could relocate.
The funds for acquiring the Central land king were transferred back from Little Days by Lu Jiaxin. The funds in Xinxin Real Estate’s accounts remained untouched, all used to purchase office buildings and residential apartments, then a massive acquisition of industrial buildings, combining old buildings, replacing equity books.
Hu Zhifeng organized a gathering, inviting the eldest of the Zheng Family, the third son of the Guo Family, and other top second-generation wealthy individuals in Hong Kong to play golf. Such gatherings naturally wouldn’t lack Nie Zhan, who is a good brother to them.
The eldest of the Zheng Family, holding a club, said, "Ah Zhan, lately your Wansheng Real Estate and Xinxin Real Estate have been raking in wealth."
Lu Jiaxin sold properties like DLG Towers at their highest prices, and then within just over half a month, the housing market plummeted. When it dropped about thirty percent, she again made large-scale purchases of quality properties. This buying and selling earned her twice the profit, and she also made quite a name for herself. Lu Jiaxin is low-key, and people outside believed Nie Zhan had all the credit; lately, financial magazines and entertainment magazines have been praising Nie Zhan’s sharp insight.
Hu Zhifeng laughingly said, "Today, I wanted him to bring his wife along so we could all meet her. But his wife is shy, thinking we’re all men, she felt too embarrassed to come."
The third son of the Guo Family had met Lu Jiaxin, didn’t find her shy at all. But indeed, for the past two years, she rarely made appearances, it was rumored this young lady did not enjoy socializing. But this didn’t matter, being able to make money makes one a helpful wife. Nie Zhan is capable, he found a wife who can support him.
