Victory in Life
Chapter 23
"Jasp, you asked me to help you pay attention to the news about a house a few days ago. I heard something today."
"There's a villa area in town. It has been more than half a year since it opened, but sales have been grim. Developers can't support it anymore, so they do promotional activities."
"Villa area in town? Is it called Thornton Park?" ask Jasper suddenly.
"How did you know?" Wendy asked in surprise.
Of course, Jasper knew about it. In his previous life, the boss of the company he worked for was the owner of Thornton Park.
Thornton Park is a villa area launched by a local real estate developer in early 2000. It is primarily aimed at successful entrepreneurs and business owners, but the placement is too luxurious and sophisticated. As a result, the number of units sold in two years after opening did not exceed 20%>
Later, the developer went bankrupt and the project was taken over by someone else. It doesn't take long for a reversal of luck. Real estate prices across the country ushered in the first wave of the surge, and Thornton Park, which no one cares about or wants even if given away for free, became the most expensive residence in the city.
Before Jasper was reborn, even though the units here were over 20 years old, they were still not outdated. Real estate prices soared to 267 thousand per square foot and a villa worth more than 50 million.
What about the price of a house in Thornton Park now?
800 Thousand is enough to buy one unit, including furniture.
It was no different than picking up a memo.
"I've heard of it however, it's the number one residence in this city," Jasper said with a smile. He made an appointment with Wendy and left immediately.
Sitting at BMW Wendy, Jasper felt buying a car should be included on the agenda. No matter what, Jasper Laine was already a wealthy billionaire by now. How can he still ride in a girl's car every day?
Thinking of the car, Jasper recalled BYD which had a major development in the future. Although not the best traditional fuel car, this new electric car is truly awesome. In that case, it seemed like it could be deployed first.
In this era, there are opportunities to make money where. Jasper's a little worried about not having enough money.
The number of 3.1 billion is enough to scare ordinary people to death, but in the Jasper blueprint, any targeted investment will touch hundreds of billions where ahead.
Chatting with Wendy along the way, the two went straight to the Thornton Park sales department in a crowded area of the city.
Even though the promotional banner was hung on the door, it was no wonder that this place was so empty.
For the next generation, 800 thousand for one villa unit was the same as picking the rest, but in an era when the annual income per capita was less than 10 thousand, few people could afford it.
Entering the sales department, not even anyone greeted him. Jasper looked up and saw all the salespeople wandering around with the couple.
The woman was dressed glamorously, and it could be seen that her face was rather beautiful. Namu, he exudes a coquettish demeanor and his posture is majestic. The person next to him was a middle-aged man in an LV suit and belt, looking like a successful boss.
However, Jasper and Wendy were still very young. They are obviously unlikely to be able to afford one unit here. In contrast, intelligent people feel that the success rate on the other hand will be higher.
Jasper and Wendy were undaunted, looking at the model mockup itself. However, at this moment, not far away the woman who was acting embarrassed saw Wendy at a glance. He froze for a moment before a grin immediately appeared on his face.
"Wendy Schuler?!"
Not far away, Wendy turned her head back as a familiar figure caught her attention. "Janice Cute?"
"I didn't expect to see you in this place, Wendy."
Janice pulled the man beside her and walked over to Wendy. He glanced at Jasper beside him and said in a disdainful tone, "Wendy, you have different tastes. Is this your girlfriend?"
The man beside Janice looked at Wendy instantly attracted by her beautiful appearance and aura.
If not for Janice's presence, she would have already advanced, snatched to get acquainted.
"He was a prima donna at our university, but after all these years, he was still the same, always acting like he was so great!"Janice wrapped her arms around the man's arms and looked at Wendy proudly.
During college, they were both prima donna on campus. However, regardless of the appearance or atmosphere they bring, Janice will always lose to Wendy. It led to him having a miserable life at university.
Janice always holds a grudge. He had not expected to meet her in this place. In addition, Wendy was with a very ancient man. Obviously Janice would not miss the opportunity to tease him.
Wendy, are you here to buy or just to see? The price installed here is not cheap. Do not think you can get a cheaper price just because the entrance states there is a promotion. You need at least 800 grand, that's the cheapest unit. I can see that the man beside you is not even wearing branded clothes. Can he buy it?
His comments hurt the ears. Suddenly, everyone's eyes turned to them.
Wendy's expression was indifferent as she looked at Janice with a cold look.
Then, he said to Jasper, "Maybe we'll come back later."
Wendy doesn't want to cause any trouble. Jasper did not want to watch her being bullied and gave her a comfortable look. Then, without bothering Janice, she immediately shouted, "Where is the shopkeeper? I bought one unit."
"Qc"
Janice sneered and looked at Jasper cynically, saying, "Where did this fool come from? Talking about buying a house when he started talking? Do you think you can afford a house here?"
"I am well aware of your thoughts of men. You can't act and do irrational things in front of a pretty girl. You have to do things that suit your status. Judging from your unbranded clothes, you still dare to buy a house here?"
Wendy whispered to Jasper when she heard Janice's endless taunts, "Jasp, he's my college friend while in college, but I never offended him. Even so, he always opposes me. He never treated me well. Let's just come back next time, how about it?"
Jasper immediately understood his statement. The woman named Janice has a pretty cool appearance, but with just one look at her, she knows she is a playgirl. A woman like her only used her appearance as a weapon.
On the other hand, Wendy can easily win it so it is quite normal for Janice to harbor jealousy towards her.
After making Wendy calm with her gaze, Jasper said calmly, "So you think someone can only be rich if they wear branded clothes? Means, my mindset is shallow."
"Haha!!"
Janice laughed out loud. "Acknowledge that you're poor, why bother speaking subtly? You can't even afford expensive clothes. Why bother talking to me? I've met many poor people like you who don't have the ability but still have big mouths."
While Janice laughed cynically, the man beside her coughed. Then, he said with narrowed eyes, "It's nice to meet you, miss. I'm Dickson Newton. I own a light shop. According to records this year its value will reach tens of millions. Well, we're just friends, how?"
Wendy felt disgusted when she saw the flirtatious middle-aged man before her. He turned to face Jasper, not even wanting to talk to him.
This made Dickson ashamed. Suddenly, his expression was horrifying and snorting. He said to the shopkeeper beside him, "Initially, I was thinking of buying one villa unit that you sold for my girlfriend to occupy."
"But these two guys are stressing me out. Can you throw them out? But this beautiful woman can stay here."
The shopkeepers exchanged terrified looks and felt in trouble.
