Superpower: One glance for ten thousand years

After Yang Xiaoxian hung up the phone, Dou Xiaobao called Li Changhe directly.

"Boss Li, Happy New Year! I wish you a happy new year. I hope I didn't disturb your rest."

"Isn't it a bit late to pay New Year's greetings this year? What's the matter?"

Li Changhe's voice came from the phone.

"I went out before the New Year and came back on the third night of the New Year, so I didn't call you."

"What have you been doing?"

"I went to a remote mountain area with someone. There was no signal there at all. The mobile phone was just a decoration."

"So I blame you? Tell me, what's the matter?"

"I wonder how the real estate project we developed with Director Xu and President Jiang in Kyoto is going?"

“It is under construction, but with the tightening of finances, I’m afraid it will be difficult to sell.”

“Is there a villa over there?”

"Yes, what for?"

"I want to keep a few sets."

"Leave a few sets? You're quite generous. What do you want to do?"

"Xiao Xian wants to live in Kyoto, so I have to leave her a house, right?"

"You can have this."

"If I give it to Xiaoxian but not to Zhang Min, it would be unreasonable, right?"

“You can have this, too.”

"I am now with Xu Hui, Director Xu's daughter, and we are planning to hold our wedding ceremony on February 2."

"Why are you holding another wedding ceremony? Didn't you just hold a wedding ceremony with Zhang Min a few years ago?"

"Zhang Min's was a make-up application, while Xu Hui's was a direct application."

"When did you bring harm to Old Xu's daughter?"

"Boss Li, we really love each other, right? Why did it become a disaster?"

"Does Old Xu know?"

"We just had lunch with Director Xu at noon and are on our way home now."

"You? Who else?"

"Me and my parents."

"Going to meet the in-laws?"

"I was stopped by Director Xu on the first day of the Lunar New Year. He asked my parents to come to my house to discuss the matter between me and Xu Hui."

"Didn't you go out? Why were you blocked by Old Xu?"

"Secret."

"Where have you been this time?"

"I don't know either. It took me more than three days to get there by plane and train."

"You went to the lab?"

"Oh, sure. Do you know this lab?"

“I’ve heard of it, but I’ve never been there.”

"I went there, but I was like a blindfolded donkey, I had no idea where I was."

"That's right. I don't know where it is."

"Then how did you know about the lab?"

"Someone from our provincial capital is stationed there and has spoken of that place."

Li Changhe said.

"But we went in and out blindfolded, so we really don't know the exact location."

"Me too, I can't find the direction once I go in."

"Then is it enough to leave you three villas?"

"Leave two more sets, leave five for me, so that my parents don't have to live there later."

"Don't you have several villas in the provincial capital? Why do you need so many houses?"

"I have many children, so I'd like to prepare a few more houses for them while the real estate market is not too good now."

"You're right, are five sets enough?"

"Almost. When can the house be delivered?"

"The earliest you have to wait is October this year. If you need it urgently, I can give you a large flat first."

"Forget about the large flat. Xu Hui's mother has chosen a large flat in their community, 260 square meters."

"Aren't you preparing it for the kids? Why don't you keep a few sets?"

Li Changhe asked.

"Yes, if there is a good one, please reserve it for me, so I don't have to buy it later."

"One building? Do you want to be a landlord?"

"Isn't the location of our project good? It's not bad to be a landlord."

"Are you sure you want one?"

"Yes, I wonder how many households there are in one building?"

"Some have 60 or 70 households, and some have more than 100 households. It depends on the floor. How big do you want to stay?"

"A floor with 60 or 70 households will do. A floor that's too high is unsafe if something unexpected happens."

"You're right. With the current rescue methods of our country's fire brigade, they can only rescue people up to the 25th floor. Any higher can only be left to fate."

“Does our project have multiple floors?”

"No, the funds for building small high-rise buildings are a bit tight now. If we build multiple floors, I'm afraid we won't even be able to break even."

“Then why build a villa?”

"Do you think these villas were built for nothing? They are reserved for people with connections."

"How much would this set cost in Kyoto, where every inch of land is valuable?"

"It can't be less than 300 million."

"It's not expensive. The large flat that Xu Hui's mother saw is only 260 square meters, and they said it would cost more than 50 million yuan."

"Don't you see where she lives? Where is our project? There is no comparison at all."

"You're right."

"I won't chat with you anymore. Come to my place for a drink when you have time."

"Is Sister Ping here?"

"No, what for?"

"I met Sister Ping on the first day of the new year."

"She kept her mouth shut and didn't tell me about this."

"Didn't she say when she would come to your place?"

"If you didn't come on the second day of the New Year, you should come on the fifteenth day of the first lunar month."

"Then I'll go drink with you at Sixteen."

"Okay, so be it."

After Li Changhe finished speaking, he hung up the phone.

"Xiaobao, who are you calling?"

Xu Hui looked at Dou Xiaobao.

"Boss Li, he and your father jointly developed a real estate project last year."

"You mean Manhe International?"

"you know?"

“Isn’t this project shelved?”

"Who said that?"

"My dad has mentioned this several times, saying that this project has lost a lot of money."

"That shouldn't be the case. Didn't Boss Li say it was under construction? It's just that it's not selling well."

"It's really hard to sell. The real estate market is already saturated."

Xu Hui said.

"If you look at the data released by the Ministry of Housing and Urban-Rural Development, there are now 600 million houses in urban and rural areas across the country."

"Six hundred million?"

Dou Xiaobao looked up at her.

"Yes, it's 600 million buildings, not 600 million units. Do you know what 600 million houses mean?"

Xu Hui nodded.

"Even if there are only five people living in a house, these 600 million houses can house 3 billion people. How many people are there in our country in total? I believe you should know."

"No wonder Boss Li said that houses are hard to sell."

"The country is now aging rapidly, and when this wave of elderly people pass away, there will be more houses left behind."

"So it was a serious mistake for us to invest in real estate."

"It's OK. The main reason is that your project is within the Third Ring Road and the population base is here. If it were somewhere else, I'm afraid you would lose a lot of money."

"We have invested a lot in this project. If it is based on what you said, there is little hope of making money. It would be good if we can break even in the end."

"With a wealthy man like you around, it doesn't matter whether we make money or not."

"You can't say that. Who doesn't want to make money? If it weren't for making money, your father wouldn't have cooperated with Boss Li and his team."

"My dad and his friends are not just doing this for the sake of making money, right?"

"What do you mean?"

"Where do you think they get the money in that place?"

"You're not saying they laundered money, are you?"

“Why can’t we launder money?”

"real or fake?"

Dou Xiaobao's eyes widened.

He didn't expect Xu Hui to say such a thing.

What's more, no one expected that Xu Daling would use the real estate project to launder money.
