sickness

April is the time when the rain is abundant and the plants grow wildly.In the unfinished real estate, at a glance, whether it is abandoned bricks and rusty steel, all are submerged in deep weeds.The weeds and vines didn't know how valuable the land they were in, and allowed themselves to grow to the height of half a person.

"Master, there is no way here, so don't go in."

Lin Bochuan was wearing high-tailored casual clothes and a white baseball cap. Standing in a pile of rocks and weeds, he frowned.He looked around, and he could distinguish several paths that had been stepped on in the grass.

"Let's go, take a look inside." Lin Bochuan said, grabbing Zang Bai's hand naturally.

He led Zang Bai to the front, trampled down the waist-high grass on both sides, walked about ten meters, and reached the path that had been trampled out.A foot-wide path, it seems that people have been walking all year round, but there is no grass, showing bare mud.

"Who would come here?"

"Bums or something."

They walked in along the path, and after a while, they arrived under the three concrete frames of the first phase.The main bodies of the No. [-] and No. [-] buildings have basically been built, and the No. [-] building has even been sealed.Building No. [-] was only half built, and some rusted steel bars appeared here and there in the exposed building.

There are no weeds under these abandoned buildings.Not only were weeds removed, but two roads were paved with stone slabs of different sizes, one leading to Building No. [-] and the other leading to Building No. [-].And there were already signs of people living downstairs. Just after noon, a lot of clothes and quilts were drying in the open space at the bottom of the building.

Lin Bochuan walked to the door of the building, and seeing that he wanted to go up, Uncle Hua persuaded him again: "Master, this building is not safe, it's better not to go in."

"It's okay, you see there are still people living here."

A group of three people walked in.The first time I entered, the building was cold and the light was not good. Both sides of the aisle were full of dark door openings without doors.Zang Bai involuntarily followed Lin Bochuan's footsteps, and squeezed his hand even tighter.

"The tramp is not bad, but I'm afraid there will be some criminals." Uncle Hua said worriedly.

"No way, have you seen any criminal who is thinking of laying quilts on the cobblestone road downstairs."

They found a doorway with a curtain on the second floor. Uncle Hua lifted the curtain on his own initiative, but there was no one inside, and some daily necessities were scattered.Looks like some homeless shelter.

The three continued to walk upstairs, and suddenly they met an aunt who was going downstairs in the stairwell.

The aunt has silver hair curled into small curls, wearing a pair of glasses and a sportswear, she is quite energetic.She was carrying a shopping bag in her hand, and she looked like she was going out to buy groceries.Such aunts can be seen everywhere, but it is somewhat surprising to see them in a building that has been abandoned for many years.

The aunt also looked at the three of them with a look of surprise, it is even more unreasonable for such a well-dressed person to appear in this place.The two teams looked at each other for a while, and the aunt took the initiative to speak vigilantly: "Where... are you from?"

Lin Bochuan and Uncle Hua exchanged glances, and Uncle Hua replied: "We didn't come from anywhere, we just took a look."

As soon as this remark came out, the aunt's attitude suddenly became fierce: "I don't care which department you are in, you can't solve the housing problem, just thinking about letting us homeless people move out, that's impossible ah……"

"Auntie, don't worry, we are not from a government department, nor are we here to drive you away."

Lin Bochuan's calm tone played a certain soothing effect, and the aunt calmed down: "Then where did you come from?"

"We are the developer and we intend to rebuild the property."

The aunt's eyes lit up suddenly, but quickly dimmed, as if she had no hope at all: "Then you can see for yourself." She said and was about to leave.

Lin Bochuan called her to stop: "Auntie, I have a few questions I want to ask you, can I spare you a few minutes?"

Mom didn't refuse.

"It seems that you live here, right?" Lin Bochuan frowned and looked around. Although the main body of this building has been built, it has no water, electricity, doors, windows and elevators, so it is not suitable for people to live in at all.

"That's right, it's not just me. There are more than 30 households in Building [-] and Building [-]. I have lived here for five or six years."

"How is this going?"

"What else can happen, I don't have money." The aunt turned around, waved at them, and led them up to the fourth floor, to the house she bought.

Coming out of the dark and damp building, they saw the noon sunshine in the tea city again, but the haze in the hearts of the three of them did not dissipate.

The aunt just now is over 60 years old this year, and she was a teacher in a subordinate county before retiring. Twelve years ago, she and her husband were about to retire, and they had been busy all their lives, imagining that they could live a quality retirement life in their old age. Under the joint commitment of the intermediary and the developer, they spent their life savings, Selling the only house in the county, plus a small amount of loans, purchased a suite in Jinchuan Guanlan.

As a result, the house was unfinished, all the money was wasted, and more than 1000 loans were repaid every month.At first I was able to survive with the pensions of two people, but after my wife died of illness, the pension was halved, and I could no longer afford to rent a house by myself, so I just moved here.

"Where's your child?" Zang Bai asked.

"My son also bought a house here back then, and he is still repaying the loan. He is under more pressure than I am." Finally, the aunt said helplessly and in despair, "I am an old woman, and I have only a few years to live. It's the same wherever you live."

Lin Bochuan looked around at this house, which was not even considered rough. The windows were covered with thick film, and the aunt installed a door herself.Despite this, the room is very clean, and the items are neatly placed. There are a few pots of green plants on the windowsill, and one of the pots of roses is blooming with pink flowers.

This made his chest a little tight.

For those in high positions, whether it is a developer or a bank, the real estate invested in is unfinished, and a huge amount of money is lost. No matter how difficult it is, those are numbers lying on paper.Only ordinary people at the bottom have lost the stable life they should have.

"Auntie, wait another two years at most, and you will definitely be able to live in your house." Lin Bochuan couldn't help but promise.

Unexpectedly, the aunt just looked indifferent: "I hope there will be such a day before I die.

"Boy, before you, I met several developers who came to see this project and said they wanted to invest. At that time, we were happy and thought there was hope, but in the end it didn't work out." Speaking of this, the aunt felt a little uncomfortable, Blinking his eyes fiercely, "It stands to reason that this place is very good, but I don't know why, but no one wants to really invest in it."

"It will work this time. My surname is Lin, my name is Lin Bochuan, and I am the son of Lin Guangshan."

The aunt suddenly raised her eyes and stared at Lin Bochuan desperately, with various emotions flashing across her face.

Sitting in the car on the return trip, Lin Bochuan didn't say a word.

Zang Bai grabbed his hand on his knee and pressed it down: "This is not your fault, don't feel bad."

Lin Bochuan held Zang Bai's hand behind his back and said "Yes".

But after seeing such a scene with his own eyes, he couldn't help but feel uncomfortable, and this also strengthened his determination to take over the game.

"However, there is a question that I have never figured out. Since there have been developers looking at it before, and this project is profitable, why no one of them is willing to take over?"

Lin Bochuan grabbed Zang Bai's hand and rubbed it together: "Because the redevelopment of this property requires tens of billions of funds, and it is a bad deal. Now that the country's loans for real estate are tightened, it is almost impossible to get such a property from the bank. If all the money needs to be raised by the company itself, the risk is too great.”

Zang Bai nodded, and didn't ask Lin Bochuan if he was worried about this risk, but felt that the reason was not so sufficient.

"Then where did you raise the tens of billions?"

"You don't need to raise tens of billions at once. You only need two billions in the early stage. After the first phase is completed and the second phase is pre-sold, the funds will roll up."

The most difficult part of the whole unfinished project is the first phase. First of all, 20 billion funds is not a small amount, and the house in the first phase has already sold [-], so the repair of the house is only to fill the debt of the year, and there will be no Capital return.

But fortunately, after the completion of the first phase, the previous owners successfully received the house, and they will send a signal to the outside world——Lin Bochuan has the strength to complete the construction of this project. At this time, it will be very easy to attract investment, plus the second phase The pre-sale of real estate will also return part of the funds. At this stage, the entire dead market should be considered to be revitalized by him.

Zang Bai played with taste: "Two billion, Mr. Lin, this is not two hundred thousand. Like you said, don't expect anyone to invest in you in the early stage. Where did you get the two billion?"

"Two or so billion, I can barely get it together." Lin Bochuan said lightly.

Uncle Hua usually wouldn't participate in their conversations like this, but when he heard this, he suddenly turned around: "Master, don't you want to cash out all the stocks under your wife's name?"

Lin Bochuan acquiesced.

Zang Bai asked: "Your mother's stock?"

"My dad invested in dozens of Internet companies in her name back then, and one of them got off the ground."

"Which one?"

After Lin Bochuan said two words, Zang Bai opened his mouth slightly in surprise.This Internet company is now the boss of a domestic giant Internet company with a market value of trillions.

"How much did your father vote for?"

"Not much, just a few million."

"How much is it worth now?"

"Two billion."

I see.Zang Bai thought that Lin Bochuan was somewhat impulsive in protesting against Lin Guangyue, so he had to finish his speech first, and then figure out other things.But he didn't expect that he had already planned everything, and everything came prepared.

He said with a smile: "Your father was so discerning back then, why didn't you invest more, it would be great to buy some original stocks."

Zang Bai’s words somehow managed to make Lin Bochuan laugh: “He was just gambling at the time, and he invested in all the Internet companies he liked. Most of the companies have already disappeared, and the remaining few are also in lingering. Only this one."

Having said that, Zang Bai secretly admired this man he had never met.
