Chapter 19: Suppressing Housing Prices

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation  Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

“Sigh, this is too annoying.”

Smith leaned back on his office chair with his feet resting on his desk. In his hand was the construction schedule for the construction area.

Ever since Smith took over the construction of the housing project, he no longer paid much attention to minor projects.

The highway project? He only earned a few million after working hard for half a month.

It was too little.

It was not even enough to buy a car.

It was really boring.

As for the big projects, there were not many.

The warehouse renovation project had been handed over to the other companies.

As a result, there were no projects available for Smith.

There was nothing to do. This made Smith feel very annoyed.

He wanted more and more.

Smith was not satisfied with the current situation.

Three months ago, he was even willing to take on toilet projects so long as he could make money.

However, at this moment, he did not even want to take on a highway project.

There was no other way. He had already tasted meat, so he no longer wanted to eat like a vegetarian.

“It’s really difficult to take on important projects. It would be great if I could develop commercial houses to sell,” Smith muttered helplessly.

“Unfortunately, I don’t have the money.”

Although Smith had earned 350 million from the previous project, he still could not afford to buy a piece of land.

It would be great if he could buy a good piece of land. He can then use the land to borrow money from the bank to build a house.

“Bang, bang, bang!”

Just as Smith started to think of ways to earn money, there was a knock on his office door.

“Come in,” Smith said weakly. He did not even bother to change his sitting posture.

Eve walked in and saw Smith’s sitting position. She maintained the same expression.

“Boss, George’s secretary just called. George is looking for you. He wants to meet you.”

“George?”

Smith could not recall who George was.

Who was George?

Smith did not have any idea who he was.

Why was he looking for him?

However, as he was the boss, he had to go.

“Barrett, drive. I’m going to the government building,” said Smith to Barrett, who was mopping the floor.

Smith ushered Eve out of the office.

“Yes, boss.”

Barrett turned around immediately and ran to prepare the car.

“He’s a rather anxious character,” Smith said lightly.

Eve stood next to Smith. She did not know how to react to his statement.

Soon, Smith got into the car.

They then drove to the government building.

Smith had on the style of a boss. He had a chauffeur and a secretary.

He could easily put on an act in front of the others if he wanted to. It was not a problem.

After arriving at the government building, Eve contacted George’s secretary. The secretary then led them to George’s office.

Smith was stunned when he saw George.

He was not one of the people in the command car the other day.

“Hello, Smith. We meet again.”

George extended his arm and shook Smith’s hand.

“I specially invited you over today because I wanted to talk to you about the transfer of the housing complex.”

“Hello, Mr. George. I don’t usually watch the news, so I didn’t recognize you yesterday. I’m sorry.”

Smith was a little surprised by George’s attitude. He was being too nice to him.

Since the other party was being polite to him, he had to be polite to the other party as well.

He was a modest person.

Although he had an architectural system that could help him make money, it could not guarantee that he would become powerful. It was just that the additional attributes provided by the system were very powerful.

However, as he was currently interacting with high-ranking government officials, he could make money if he pleased them.

George’s secretary brewed some tea and sat behind George. Eve also sat behind Smith.

With his new fancy car, he really felt like two big bosses were chatting.

Smith felt like his status had risen to another level.

He felt like he was a completely different person.

“I wonder, Mr. Smith, what do you think of the current housing prices?”

After chatting for a while, George began to get into the main topic.

What do you think of the housing prices?

Smith did not understand the purpose of the question. He also did not understand what George’s purpose was for asking such a question.

In all honesty, when he was not rich, he wanted the housing prices to collapse.

The best would be if the price was 100 yuan per square meter.

However, as he currently wanted to develop commercial housing, he was hoping for the housing prices to rise like the ones in New York so that he could earn money.

His thoughts were in line with his current circumstances.

However, even though he thought so, he could not say it out loud.

“The prices are a little high right now but I’m just a construction worker. I don’t actually earn much from the construction.”

“That’s right.”

“Take this transfer housing complex for example. The construction cost for the entire residential area is only 530 million.”

“However, if we sold it at the current price, the value of the entire residential area would be worth over 6 billion. The profits are astonishingly high.”

Smith thought for a moment and wanted to scold the real estate developers. After all, he was not in the real estate business so he was not technically scolding himself.

“It’s because everyone knows that real estate profits are high. The current prices are high, and they are still rising.”

George agreed with Smith’s statement.

“Of course, there are probably reasons why the land is so expensive. However, imagine if there were no developers fighting over it, would the price of the land still be so high?”

George continued to speak.

Smith smiled, but he did not say anything.

Everyone knew the answer.

“Speaking of these problems, you have built a transfer housing complex during this time. The quality of the house is very shocking, and the construction speed is also very fast. So today, I want to ask you whether you will be interested in developing commercial houses?”

“Of course. The development of commercial housing is way more profitable than the work we usually do,” Smith expressed his thoughts.

“Then, if you are able to get the land at a low price, can you control the price of the commercial houses to be less than 30,000 per square meter?”

George asked in a serious tone.
