Rebirth at the Start: This Fate is Too Explosive!

Chapter 564 Calm on the surface, ecstatic inside

Jiang Yi continued, "That development mainly features top-tier Chinese-style courtyard houses and modern lakeside villas; each one is a masterpiece."

Jiang Yi changed the subject, tapping his finger lightly on the table:

"However, on the west side of the main entrance of the entire project, in a location that is adjacent to the main road but cleverly separated by the landscape, we have planned and built a separate 10-story independent commercial building."

The total construction area is 3 square meters, with a standard floor area of ​​3000 square meters. It features a frame structure, resulting in an extremely regular, spacious, and highly adaptable layout.

He added:

"It was originally positioned as a high-end commercial facility for the entire 'Xuanwu Lake No. 1' villa area. The initial intention was to introduce top-tier clubhouses, private banks, and high-end restaurants to enhance the value of the community."

"Moreover, the project is surrounded by Nanjing University, Southeast University, and Nanjing Normal University, the top universities in Nanjing, with a strong cultural atmosphere. It is indeed only a ten-minute drive from the main campus of Nanjing University when there is no traffic, which perfectly meets your requirement of 'not too far from Nanjing University'."

At this point, Jiang Yi's eyes flickered almost imperceptibly. He picked up his teacup, took a sip, and seemed to be carefully choosing his words. His tone became somewhat ambiguous, and his speaking speed slowed down.

"This supporting building... actually originally had an owner. Two years ago, a local Nanjing-based super-tech company, which was then riding high and claimed to be challenging the giants, commissioned us to custom-build it as their East China headquarters. They even had preliminary discussions about the interior design. And then..."

He clicked his tongue and shook his head: "Tsk, market changes, company strategic adjustments, something... well, an accident happened. Anyway, the cooperation didn't continue."

When Ye Fan, who was sitting opposite him, heard the keywords "Xuanwu Lake" and "villa supporting project", he was suddenly stunned, as if he had been struck by an invisible lightning bolt!

Jiang Yi thought Ye Fan was silently weighing the location, price, and pros and cons.

Little did they know that beneath Ye Fan's calm and composed exterior, the tide of memories from his past life was like a detonated depth charge, unleashing a raging storm that surged wildly into his heart!

As a seasoned internet gossip enthusiast and financial worker in his previous life, Ye Fan had a very deep impression of the "Xuanwu Lake No. 1" project!

This project, in its previous life, suddenly exploded with a bombshell that shook the entire East China real estate industry!

The problem wasn't with the project itself, but rather that the funding chain of one of its crucial core partners had completely broken down, triggering a chain reaction.

Not only did it drag Jinling No. 1 Construction, which was deeply involved in the project, into a quagmire of debt and litigation, but it also caused the core part of the project to be suspended for a long time, and the lawsuit lasted for several years.

Ultimately, the entire project was assigned to Jinling No.1 Construction.

At the time, this matter caused a great stir on local forums and financial news in Nanjing.

Ye Fan gently turned the slightly cooled teacup in his hand, the clear tea soup rippling slightly in the porcelain cup.

His eyelids were lowered, and his thick eyelashes concealed the violent emotional storm surging deep within his eyes.

Ultimately, it transformed into a bottomless pool, flashing a profound and unfathomable glint that only he himself could understand.

interesting.

That's so interesting.

The project itself is fine, but it's too big, and the partner's funding suddenly dried up. Jinling No.1 Construction is now unable to find anyone to take over.

Ye Fan's slender fingers tapped rhythmically on the smooth mahogany table, producing a soft "tap, tap" sound. His expression was calm and undisturbed, as if they had just been discussing not a building, but an ordinary object.

He continued, his tone as if confirming product specifications: "Brother Jiang, what is the current state of the main structure and external facilities of this building? Is it a bare shell, or...?"

Upon hearing this, Jiang Yi said, "The main building of the office building, as well as the surrounding underground parking garage, landscaping, power room and all other supporting facilities, just completed all final acceptance inspections in the middle of this year. Fire protection, civil defense and planning inspections have all been passed."

He stated with certainty, "The building is 100% ready-built, and the common areas were fully furnished according to the customized requirements of that tech company. The lobby, elevator hall, and restrooms are all completed. It's basically a 'move-in ready' framework, and companies can customize the interior partitions and decorations according to their own style."

He changed the subject slightly, sounding apologetic: "However... the lakeside villa area of ​​the project is still under construction in phases. There may still be some noise from the movement of large equipment and occasional construction noise, so the environment may be a little noisy. I have to mention this in advance."

"Oh, that doesn't matter."

Ye Fan smiled noncommittally, picked up his teacup and took a sip, but he had a clear plan in mind.

He came here today specifically for Minglu Culture's independent headquarters building; his goal was clear.

Even if the villa area becomes a huge mess due to funding issues, or even experiences a construction halt, just like in my past life, it won't affect the office building that I've already acquired and that I own clearly and independently.

even......

If the timing and conditions are right, and the villa area really falls into trouble, he might be able to take advantage of the situation and "buy" that rare lakeside plot at an extremely low price, which would be a real "bottom-fishing" opportunity.

"Okay, I understand the basic situation."

Ye Fan put down his teacup and decisively made the decision: "Then let's go over there in a bit and see for ourselves. Seeing is believing."

Upon hearing this, Jiang Yi's tense shoulders and back visibly relaxed, and he even let out a soft sigh of relief.

He picked up the now-cold teacup in front of him, tilted his head back and took a large gulp. When he put it down, his eyes held a rare sincerity, devoid of commercial politeness, and a relieved gratitude.

"Brother Ye, to be honest, if you really like this building and are willing to take it over, it would truly solve my urgent problem and do me a huge favor. I will remember this kindness."

"Brother Jiang, you're too kind."

Ye Fan waved his hand casually, his smile gentle and infectious, like the spring sunshine. His words were both sincere and impeccable.

"I happen to have a real need to expand my company's scale and establish a brand image; it's something I genuinely need."

You happen to possess a one-of-a-kind asset that meets all my criteria for location, specifications, and availability.

If I find something I like on-site later, wouldn't that be a perfect, win-win situation?

His tone was relaxed:

"Besides, even if I don't take this building from you, Brother Jiang, I'll have to send this budget into the pockets of other developers in the future."

"Being able to do business with your own brothers, keeping the money within your own circle, ensuring the profits stay within the family, and knowing each other well makes cooperation smoother—isn't that better?"

These words not only broadened the perspective but also effortlessly transformed a potentially complex large-scale transaction into a mutually beneficial partnership between friends.

This flattered Jiang Yi, a seasoned "princeling," to the point of feeling extremely comfortable, and the unease he felt due to the project's hidden worries was greatly alleviated by this "one of our own" rhetoric.
