Chapter 146
As early as 90, the government announced to accelerate the development of Pudong area, and it was also at the beginning of this year that Pudong New Area was officially established.
At the beginning of the opening-up phase, most people still hold the view that Puxi is the city and Pudong is the countryside. The international financial center that once boasted skyscrapers and a vibrant business community is now deserted.
Unfortunately, today the sky was overcast and drizzling. Zheng Xinyi, holding an umbrella, walked along the muddy road, whispering to Ye Ke, "Yesterday I thought this sea city was incredible and dazzling, but after a walk here today, it's almost the same as our county."
The huge contrast between before and after gave Zheng Xinyi a surge of confidence.
Ye Canyang was also surprised. When he first filled out his application, he only wanted to take his mother away from Ancheng. He also felt that Hai City was an internationally renowned metropolis, and there would definitely be many development opportunities here, so it would be a good choice.
But he never expected that he did come to the big city, but there are also remote places in the big city.
"Mom, you don't have to buy a house near my school." Ye Canyang persuaded. He couldn't bear to let his mother live in such a place for him.
Zheng Xinyi shook her head and insisted, "It's not like I haven't experienced hard times before, so this is nothing."
At least this place is much better than Yejia Village.
After listening to the conversation between the mother and son, Ye Ke finally felt relieved. She was really afraid that Zheng Xinyi would listen to Yang Yang's advice, give up this place, and buy a house in the city center.
After all, not far away is the famous Lujiazui! Although many landmark buildings have not been built yet, Ye Ke still recognized the familiar river view and the unfinished Oriental Pearl Tower.
They were unfamiliar with the place and there were no newly developed properties nearby, so the three of them used the most stupid method - asking around.
Ye Ke calmly led the two of them to an area she was familiar with, and luckily, they met a kind-hearted lady.
"Buy a house? Why do you want to buy a house here?"
The old lady led the three of them and asked curiously. It was really strange that they didn't go to the city to buy a house, but came to their country.
"My son came here to attend college, so I thought about buying a house nearby so that I can take care of him." Zheng Xinyi's tone was filled with a hint of joy and uncontrollable pride.
After the old lady heard it, she also took the opportunity to flatter him, "Really! Young man, you have a bright future. You will enjoy a happy life in the future!"
It was just a few nice words, and she had nothing to lose. She could make the man happy first, and if he actually bought the house, she could get a referral fee.
The old lady brought the three of them to an old house, which was an independent courtyard. It was obvious that the owner of the house took good care of the house and kept the courtyard clean and tidy.
The owner of the house was also very happy, saying that his family had bought a new house in Puxi a long time ago, and now everyone who needed to move had already moved out, so they could move in directly after buying it.
When she heard that she could move in today, Zheng Xinyi asked the price and decided to buy it immediately.
The owner's offer was not high, but Zheng Xinyi still bargained for a while and finally cut the price down by one thousand, buying the one-story courtyard for 76,000 yuan. She also agreed with the original landlord to keep the old furniture.
Ye Ke was eager to make a move. Her original plan was to come to Pudong, buy a few new houses that she was familiar with, and then rent them out and wait for them to appreciate in value.
But what she didn't expect was that she arrived too early and the houses she knew about had not been built yet.
But everything has come.
Although she didn't know when this area would be relocated, she was certain that in the future, there would definitely be no such old houses in this economically prosperous area.
"Auntie, are there any yards for sale around here?"
After negotiating with the landlord, Zheng Xinyi and the old lady walked aside and gave her an introduction fee. Ye Ke took the opportunity to come over and ask.
The old lady looked at her in confusion. Why did she still want to buy it? But she didn't ask any more questions. As long as she could make money, there was no need to worry about so many things.
