For the next three days.
Ye Chen kept running around trying to gather all the ingredients for the formula.
So much so that when Li Changfeng and Zhang Jingshan repeatedly tried to find him, he turned them down.
From running around to buy all those.
To gathering all the pots, pans, and various equipment for making the cream.
Three days felt like the blink of an eye in Ye Chen's world.
The small rental house looked like a small workshop.
This was also thanks to the memories from his previous life, which were as if etched into his mind.
And also thanks to the fact that he was a half-baked scholar when he was studying.
Otherwise, even knowing how to make the Flawless Cream, he wouldn't know where to start.
June 24th.
Evening, 7:30 PM.
Ye Chen, stealing a moment of leisure, put down the tools for making the cream.
He took off his gloves.
He sat on the sofa and turned on the TV hanging on the wall.
On this evening in his previous life, at the Jingzhou Municipal Government press conference, leaders from several departments, including the Urban Construction Bureau, the Land and Resources Bureau, the Development and Reform Commission, and the Commerce Bureau, led by the Municipal Government, made a statement about the reform of the urban villages in Jingzhou's new round of planning and development.
It was precisely because of this press conference that the housing prices in Jinlin Mansion skyrocketed five times overnight, and the surrounding area saw an unprecedented surge in land value without any prior warning!
After Ye Chen turned on the TV at the appointed time.
On the TV.
Before he could even finish smoking a cigarette.
The press conference, which was exactly the same as in his previous life's memory, began.
First was the speech by the Municipal Government official in charge.
Then were the speeches by the leaders of the various departments.
The relocation and reform project of the urban villages and the complete commercial development were thus set in this press conference!
In a courtyard somewhere in Jingzhou.
This was the residence of the former Municipal Party Committee Old Secretary Zhang Weimin.
It was also the Old Zhang Family's old house.
Beneath the historical and weathered appearance.
In the courtyard, green plants and potted trees were arranged in a staggered manner, and the neatness inside and outside the house exuded an atmosphere of peace and harmony.
Inside the house.
The scene on the TV was the press conference held by the Municipal Government.
And in front of the TV.
Sat three generations of the Old Zhang Family.
Zhang Weimin, the former master of Jingzhou, Zhang Xingguo, the Chairman of Yong'an Construction Company, and Zhang Jingshan!
"Dad, the government is going to develop the urban villages in the west city? Why is this so sudden? Did you know about this before, Old Man?"
Looking at the press conference on TV, Zhang Xingguo exclaimed in disbelief.
"Yes!" Old Secretary Zhang Weimin nodded.
"What? You knew about this, Old Man? Then why didn't you tell me!" Zhang Xingguo became anxious.
"Why should I tell you? Don't think I don't know what you're thinking. I, Zhang Weimin, have been incorruptible my whole life. Could it be that in my old age, I would reveal the inside story of the government's planned development to my son, letting him turn into a blood-sucking capitalist? And thus let the common people point at my, Zhang Weimin's, back?" Zhang Weimin said, puffing out his beard and glaring.
Zhang Xingguo was immediately bitter and speechless.
Because that was the Old Master's style!
If the Old Master had even a little selfishness, his Yong'an Construction Company would probably have risen several levels by now.
However, after puffing out his beard and glaring, Zhang Weimin added, "It was mentioned by Little Zhou when he came to chat with me half a month ago. He asked for my thoughts, but he specifically told me to keep this matter strictly confidential, saying that it was a pilot development unit at the provincial level, and anyone who dared to leak it in advance would not be tolerated. So didn't you see that before this, everything was calm and peaceful? From the province to the city, no one dared to reveal anything!"
Beside him.
Zhang Jingshan, who had always liked to bicker with his Father Zhang Xingguo and contradict him, was unusually silent.
He was in a state of shock!
Because the urban villages that were about to be relocated and developed were right next to Jinlin Mansion!
What did this mean?
It meant that after this press conference, Jinlin Mansion would experience a crazy surge in price!
In an instant.
The words Ye Chen had said to him kept echoing in his mind.
"Considering it's fate, if you believe me, you can buy a few sets!"
"If I had money, I would buy the entire building, but unfortunately, I only have 200,000 yuan now, so I can only pay the deposit for two sets!"
"Believe me and give it a try!"
"Actually, you could be more irrational, like paying the deposit for ten sets at once, or buying ten sets in full at once, after all, there's no purchase restriction!"
He didn't take these words seriously at all at the time.
Although he later, as if possessed, also paid the deposit for two sets, he thought of it as throwing that 200,000 yuan down the drain, because he didn't think Jinlin Mansion would appreciate in value in recent years, so he wouldn't spend the extra money to buy it.
But now?
This...
How did Ye Chen know about the area that was going to be relocated and developed?
Could it be that even the inside story that Old Wang Ba Dan Zhang Xingguo couldn't hear a single hint of was known to him?
How is this possible!
"Grandpa, are you sure that no one would leak this relocation and development matter beforehand?" Zhang Jingshan asked quickly.
"Unless someone thinks the black gauze hat on their head is too heavy!" Zhang Weimin said without thinking.
"Then could it be that someone accidentally let slip in an unintended setting?" Zhang Jingshan's mouth was dry.
"If someone could even let slip about something that the province has explicitly stated will not be tolerated, do you think he could sit in that informed position?" Zhang Weimin hit the nail on the head.
Then he suddenly felt that this kid Zhang Jingshan was acting strange. "Jingshan, what do you mean, kid? Why are you asking about these things?"
"Grandpa, I... I paid the deposit for two apartments in Jinlin Mansion. On the first day of the Jinlin Mansion's opening, someone told me that if I believed him, I should buy a few more sets, and he also said that if he had money, he would buy the entire Jinlin Mansion, and later he even suggested that I could buy ten sets at once!" Zhang Jingshan said blankly, stunned.
At this moment, he felt like raising his hand and slapping himself wildly!
If, if he had really believed Ye Chen's words at that time and bought ten sets at once.
What would that be like?
After this press conference, the housing price of Jinlin Mansion would at least skyrocket five times!
The housing price of Jinlin Mansion at that time was only seven or eight thousand, and one set would cost at most a little over a million yuan.
Ten sets, with discounts, ten million yuan would be enough, and he could afford ten million yuan.
And after this press conference, ten sets would be worth at least fifty or sixty million yuan.
In other words, in just three days, ten million yuan turned into fifty or sixty million yuan!
Three days, a profit of five or six times, this damn money came faster than robbing a bank!
At this moment, the word 'regret' was not enough to describe Zhang Jingshan's feelings.
At the same time, his shock and curiosity about Ye Chen were in an indescribable state!
First, picking up the leaked prayer beads.
Then, intuitively feeling that he would encounter a peach blossom disaster.
Then, intuitively feeling that the housing price of Jinlin Mansion would skyrocket.
Then, intuitively feeling that Li Changfeng's new car would have an accident.
All these.
They all came true one by one.
If you say this is a coincidence, can it be justified?
"What!!!"
However.
Just as Zhang Jingshan's words fell.
Old Master Zhang Weimin and Zhang Xingguo both exclaimed in surprise.
