Chapter 91: Chapter 91 Happiness Community Starts Construction

With He Chengjun’s help, Qian Huifang’s work sped up significantly.

A large rendering was hung on a barren piece of land.

One by one, cars arrived at the site; many leaders from the county and city were present, which highlighted He Chengjun’s formidable network.

Today was the groundbreaking ceremony for the Happiness Community, and He Chengjun had invited many people to attend.

The Deputy Secretary of the Municipal Party Committee, Chang Zhouping, was also in attendance.

Seeing He Chengjun bustling around him, Ji Yang understood that this man must be He Chengjun’s powerful backer.

Moreover, leaders from the county arrived, and a platform was set up for them to sit on, while the village officials and construction team members sat below. The leaders praised the construction of the Happiness Community highly, even recounting the full support many officials gave during the housing development.

When Ji Yang visited the countryside, he found a Peach Blossom Source and dug up many ginseng plants there, selling them for over ten million—a fact that had already spread far and wide. Furthermore, people knew that Ji Yang had invested all that money, after paying taxes, into purchasing properties in the Happiness Community, believing in its development potential.

This news sparked a strong desire to purchase homes among many people.

During the pre-sale, unexpectedly, plenty of Qingyuan Village residents expressed interest in buying homes, and over a hundred units were pre-sold.

Without even having built the community yet, around three hundred units had already been sold.

After the start-up ceremony, Chang Zhouping led everyone to the large promotional rendering.

After looking at it for a while, Chang Zhouping smiled and said, "This rendering is quite majestic. If it’s built according to plan, this whole area will be spectacular. The place has clear mountains and fresh waters—the scenery is really nice. I’ve saved up a bit over the years. To show my support, reserve a few units for me. I’m going to pay in cash, so there better not be any underhanded dealings."

He Chengjun laughed and said, "Everything here is transparent and fair, under everyone’s supervision, and there will be no foul play. Even if you purchase, it will be at the same price as everyone else."

Chang Zhouping then laughed heartily and said, "That’s more like it. Anything we do must be in front of the public, without any issues. Let’s get this clear; if others want to buy, give them priority. If there are units left, I’ll buy, but not at the expense of others’ interests."

"Rest assured, there won’t be any issues."

Everyone laughed.

Chang Zhouping looked at the crowd and said, "I really like the scenery here; you all must give vigorous support."

Chu Shuyuan said, "Since the leader has said so, I’ll support by purchasing a few units too."

Several leaders expressed they would buy a unit to show their support.

Chang Zhouping again looked at He Chengjun with a smile and said, "You’ve done well this time. Having such a Happiness Community is indeed a great contribution to Qingyuan Village."

He Chengjun laughed and said, "With the leaders’ support, I believe our Qingyuan Village will become even better."

Chang Zhouping then turned to Qian Huifang and said, "You must ensure the quality of the construction, there can’t be any issues."

Qian Huifang replied, "Please rest assured, leader, there won’t be any such problems."

"Good, make sure the schools and hospitals are also well constructed."

"Those are already being worked on."

After sending the leaders off, the construction officially began.

Everyone returned to the small conference room and took their seats. He Chengjun was in high spirits and said with a laugh to everyone, "The leaders at the upper levels are very optimistic about the construction of our community. Our village has used the land partly as payment for the public servants’ housing funds, saving quite a bit of money, which is a significant benefit to everyone. If leaders want to purchase property, it will be done at the internal price."

At this point, he looked at Ji Yang and said, "The rooms you purchased were also at the internal price."

Ji Yang said, "That’s not necessary; I’ll pay the market price. Since I’m buying so many, I worry others might accuse us of corruption if I pay the internal price."

Yan Xingshun replied, "That won’t happen. Actually, the difference between the internal and market price isn’t that much."

Ji Yang said, "I’m buying homes to support the work in the village, not to make money. The market price will suffice. Haven’t they set a sale price? Just use that."

Seeing Ji Yang’s insistence, He Chengjun praised him, "Comrade Ji Yang has a very high level of consciousness!"

Huang Yu smiled and said, "Our village has always been remote, and the land prices here are naturally low. The village practically gave the land to the developers for free. They’ve saved a significant amount of money here, and labor costs are low as well. Moreover, many of the building materials can be sourced locally at low prices. This is why a small villa here costs only about a hundred thousand or less internally. Honestly, a villa for a hundred thousand would be impossible elsewhere, so our investment here is definitely not at a loss!"

Gui Ping nodded and said, "Secretary Huang is right; it’s precisely the situation. Our village has advantages—the housing prices are genuinely inexpensive, even cheap. I also borrowed some money to invest here. If it takes off in the next phase, I might even make a profit."

At this moment, everyone laughed.

Qian Wan, who knew some of the circumstances, also smiled and said, "I’ve borrowed quite a bit from my parents and their friends. I plan to invest in several units this time. I’m going to strongly support the construction of the Happiness Community!"

She glanced at Ji Yang as she spoke.

He Chengjun laughed and said, "With everyone’s support, we have no worries about the community not being built. Next, we need to discuss the schools and hospitals; these must be present. I’ve also considered something else—should the township government also relocate there? Let’s discuss this matter."
