Chapter 95: Chapter 95: Mrs. Xiao is Trapped (1)

Three people drove to Mingyue Plaza, and on the way, Gu Nuan was preoccupied with poring over documents. The driver was Tang Qingzhong.

Fang Yongxing, seated in the passenger seat, took the opportunity to nap during the lunch break.

The road was quiet, and during the midday period, traffic conditions in the big city were relatively good, with no obvious congestion. This was probably why Fang Yongxing had chosen to set out at this time. After all, the destination was in the West Suburb of the city, and if traffic was smooth, just driving there would take more than an hour.

As the car reached what was called the suburban area, Gu Nuan realized, this suburb was far removed from what the word "suburb" implied in the dictionary.

The once desolate suburb was now indistinguishable from the city, lined with tall buildings and high-rise residential complexes. Because of the higher housing prices in the city center, ordinary people could only afford to buy relatively cheaper houses in the so-called suburbs, which led to a rapid population expansion in these areas.

The old saying goes, where there are people, there will be business.

The foundation of all commerce is population.

It is evident that the team behind Changda’s planning had chosen this location with market research to back them up.

In just five or six years, several residential communities had been planned and constructed here, each hosting no fewer than five thousand households.

In this region, although only five communities were completed at present, the number of buildings under construction and newly launched properties had already reached fifteen. It could be said that there was enormous potential for development.

Changda had acquired this piece of land two years ago, enjoying some geographical advantages—located at a crossroads with surrounding residential areas that ranged from high to low end.

Defined as having a complete consumption chain of upper, middle, and lower classes, reflecting the varying spending levels of the residents.

Changda’s commercial complex was planned with a supermarket on the ground floor to serve all consumer demographic groups, from high to low income.

Above the first floor were brand-name shops, with invites extended to various luxury brands to attract the higher-income residents of the area.

You might say, aren’t the people who buy houses in the suburbs all without much money?

One must understand that saying someone is without money cannot be an absolute statement. Those who can afford to buy a house in the suburbs of a large city necessarily have a solid foundation of salary, be they white-collar or blue-collar workers.

Salary workers with knowledge, whose wages increase significantly each year, could well evolve into high-end consumers.

Changda’s vision for investment extended far beyond these considerations.

As Gu Nuan reviewed the design plans for Mingyue Plaza, she noticed that one entire building was designated for educational resources institutions, encouraging the entry of early childhood education classes and other such resources for children.

It is said that Chinese people are the least stingy when it comes to spending on their children.

Starting with prenatal education for a pregnant woman, followed by early childhood education after the birth of the child, the series of educational expenses from childhood through to adulthood could account for thirty to fifty percent or more of a family’s unilateral spending.

That’s a figure that’s not at all exaggerated.

Many families even pour their entire wealth into raising their children.

The Chinese have long held dreams of their sons becoming dragons and their daughters phoenixes, which is a deeply ingrained notion among them.

Gu Nuan considered her own family in comparison.

Her parents, Mr. and Mrs. Gu, belonged to the low to middle-income residents of a small county town. Yet on her, Gu Nuan, although they were not able to provide her with the fineries of a rich family, the total spending on her was definitely more than what they spent on themselves.
