Chapter 1137: Chapter 968: Mysterious Boss (Request for Monthly Tickets)_2

"Just like you were discussing with Mayor Zhang earlier," the housing prices here are being pushed up, intentionally or unintentionally.

Since Peng City’s housing prices were at a low before, I simply added some more funds, allowing Hu Yueyue to acquire a few more residential buildings.

Now this rental company, its size isn’t too small, owning sixteen residential buildings, nearly two thousand housing units, all of which have been finely furnished.

Hu Yueyue says that the occupancy rate is quite good, with virtually no vacancies.

Just from collecting rent, we can receive about four million a month, the return on investment is barely acceptable, I guess.

But buying so many houses isn’t aimed at the rental income, the main reason is the future housing prices in Peng City..."

After listening to this from Zhang Xiaoxi, Wang Ye nodded with a smile.

Because all the purchases were of commodity houses in residential areas and were finely furnished, the rent was quite high.

Two thousand units, with an average rent of about two thousand each, gathering four million a month in rent is quite normal.

In this calculation, this rental company’s cash flow is quite abundant!

According to Zhang Xiaoxi’s plan, the rent collected wouldn’t be handed over to the asset management company; instead, it would be kept in Peng City to continue purchasing properties...

Just buy property-rent-collect rent-buy more property-rent out again-collect rent again...

This cycle, like a snowball, the company size will keep on growing!

In a few years, perhaps this company will hold hundreds of buildings, tens of thousands of commodity houses!

When Peng City’s housing prices explode, even selling a few houses casually would net a staggering amount...

...

Wang Ye highly agreed with Zhang Xiaoxi’s plan.

Anyway, the money earned from his domestic investment projects, he had no plans of transferring it abroad but intended to continue investing on the mainland.

With ample funds available, he could diversify investments into various industries, which was a way of spreading risks.

Although to Wang Ye, the so-called "excessive profits" from real estate didn’t matter much to him.

Because these days, there are too many industries that could yield higher returns than real estate!

But he wouldn’t interfere with Zhang Xiaoxi’s investment plans; after all, it’s all about making money, making a bit more or less doesn’t make a big difference.

Nor did he have enough energy and time to worry about these "minor investments" back home.

These are just embellishments, barely impacting his overall ventures!

In Wang Ye’s business empire, obviously, the energy industry is currently the most important, holding two giants, Yukos and Russian Gas Industry—it’s not only about making a lot of money, but also of great strategic importance!

And in the future, the early preparations of Crimea Investment and Polar Bear Investment in the internet industry and the Crimea Peninsula would bring staggering wealth to Wang Ye!

Compared to that, although the domestic projects are also worth tens or even hundreds of billions, they indeed have a minimal impact.

It’s just a way for Zhang Xiaoxi to gain experience...

It seems smart people aren’t just limited to oneself; many others can also see some things clearly.

Just like Zhang Xiaoxi, ever since she started delving into the real estate market, whether it’s commercial real estate or commodity housing, she has always been optimistic.

Even though the domestic real estate market has cooled down in the past two years.

The truly smart people have already started to buy a large amount of property during these years, while ordinary people are still mocking those who spend "big money" on commodity houses.

A few years later, the explosive increase in housing prices in first- and second-tier cities would leave ordinary people in awe.

Just as they bitterly curse the unreasonable housing prices, waiting for a crash, housing prices continue to rise, getting higher until everyone is baffled...

By the time many people become hopeless and start to empty the pockets of three generations to forcibly "get on board," the housing prices suddenly stop rising and even begin to crash in many cities!

Thus, many people become trapped at high positions, not only investing all their savings but even working for decades to pay off the debt for that house...

This is the tragedy of ordinary people!

Oh, Wang Ye was also one of these ordinary people in his previous life.

Even he was worse off than those who were trapped as "mortgage slaves," because he wasn’t even qualified to be trapped!

The little money he had was all lost in the stock market...

While others who are enslaved by their mortgages still ended up with a house, he lost so much money in the stock market without even hearing a "bang!"

Thinking about this, Wang Ye felt somewhat melancholic.

If it weren’t for having "reborn" once, his abilities truly wouldn’t match up to Zhang Xiaoxi’s.

An academic overachiever who got into Tsinghua University with ease, they really are all extraordinary!

"Contact Hu Yueyue, let’s go see her; now that we are in Peng City, it wouldn’t be right not to meet," Wang Ye said with a smile.

Zhang Xiaoxi nodded, sat up, reached for his phone, and made a call to Hu Yueyue.

...

In an unremarkable office building near the Civic Center, Hu Yueyue sat busy in her spacious office handling company affairs.

It is said that under pressure, people grow quickly.

This was also evident in Hu Yueyue.

When Wang Ye had recruited her, Hu Yueyue was just a young girl who had graduated from university and was naive to the ways of the world.

But since becoming the manager of this leasing company, she had progressed from initially being overwhelmed to now handling things with ease.

Initially, when inspecting properties and negotiating with real estate companies, she had been cautious; now, she negotiated boldly, purchasing entire buildings in one go while cutting deals ruthlessly, offering prices that caused real estate companies to wince in pain!

Moreover, with so many properties under the leasing company’s control, it was impossible to rely solely on Hu Yueyue; that would be too exhausting for her.

Therefore, the company also went through several rounds of expansion.

Now, the leasing company had nearly a hundred employees.

Apart from the Financial Director sent by the headquarters, all other staff members were personally interviewed and recruited by Hu Yueyue.

Frankly speaking, for such a young woman to manage a company of considerable size was a hardship few could understand.

But it was all worth it.

Because in terms of income, Zhang Xiaoxi indeed hadn’t let her down; a base salary plus bonuses roughly estimated to be around one to two million a year...

For a girl just out of university, such income was something she couldn’t even dream of before!

...

Hu Yueyue was immersed in a set of documents for a new property when her phone rang, the caller ID showing "Capital Manager Zhang."

This was her nickname for Zhang Xiaoxi in her mobile phone contacts...

Honestly speaking, even now, Hu Yueyue still knew little about the company’s boss behind the scenes.

Initially, it was a young man in his early twenties who recruited her, but he only appeared that once and was never seen again.

Subsequently, a young woman from the capital came over, claiming to be the boss of an asset management company!

Not only did she help set up the leasing company, but she also transferred several hundred million in a single transaction...

She discussed at length with her how to develop the leasing company, how to select suitable properties to buy...

Honestly, Hu Yueyue’s feelings towards Manager Zhang were like those toward both a mentor and a friend; from her, Hu Yueyue truly learned a lot!

The leasing company’s current scale could, at least half of it, be attributed to this young Manager Zhang.

However, Hu Yueyue wondered why Zhang Xiaoxi, so young, had become the boss of an asset management company rumored to be worth over ten billion and had recently started a commercial real estate company, investing in large-scale commercial complexes, each project worth several billions!

Whether the boss behind her was the young man who once appeared briefly...

These "puzzles," Hu Yueyue still had no answers to.

She had also tried to indirectly ask Zhang Xiaoxi about these things, but every time the topic of the "boss" came up, Zhang Xiaoxi cleverly changed the subject, and Hu Yueyue never got any useful information from her.

...

The phone connected before Hu Yueyue could even greet.

She heard Zhang Xiaoxi say on the other end, "Manager Hu, are you in the office? The boss and I are in Peng City and plan to visit the company."
