However, the procedures required by the government were rather complicated. Furthermore, it involved many sellers. Therefore, they didn’t manage to complete the procedures so quickly.

  Everything on Fangzheng’s side went smoothly. Jing Yan had also briefed Fangzheng of her plan.

  Qi Dongsheng laughed. “I received news when these parasites came. However, they didn’t make a move at all, so I couldn’t say anything. In addition, this matter is indeed a bit tricky… After all, in a sense, their actions are still legal. In addition, even if we were to set up a policy, we would still need some time to discuss and get approval, etc…


  “After all, we have to consider too many things. It is impossible for us to employ cookie-cutter solutions.

  “It’s just that I didn’t expect Master to interfere in this matter. Hehe…”


  Speaking of this, Qi Dongsheng laughed. “How about this? I’ll help you adjust the paperwork to buy the property and put them on hold. The rest will have to depend on you. We should also study the matter and put restrictions on housing prices.”


  Jing Yan said, “Thank you, Mayor Qi. As long as there’s no problem with your side, it won’t be a problem.”


  Qi Dongsheng smiled and nodded. “Of course I’ll support whatever you do.”


  …


  With County Head Qi’s approval and issued orders, President Xia’s staff, who were in a terrible plight from all the work, suddenly realized that a team of staff brought their equipment and opened a private room for them. They had helped them throughout the entire process and transferred ownership at the fastest speed possible!

  The procedures that were supposed to take days were resolved in just two days!

  At the same time, Brother Mao and the others encountered a lot of trouble…


  “Tell your boss to come out.” Brother Mao crossed his legs and looked angrily at the manager.

  The manager smiled bitterly. “Brother Mao, there’s nothing I can do. The housing situation is quite tight now.”


  Brother Mao frowned. “How tight?”


  The manager said, “If you had come two days earlier, you could have bought plenty of property. But two days ago, someone swept all the property! There’s not a single one left…”


  Brother Mao was taken aback and said, “Someone swept it in advance? How is that possible?”


  The manager said, “Really, take a look yourself.”


  Brother Mao immediately went over and looked at the information on the computer. In the end, all the properties were sold; not a single one was left!

  When Little Lin saw this, he exclaimed, “Brother Mao, were we intercepted? Didn’t you say that you would hype it up to test the enthusiasm of the people here. But isn’t this… a little too enthusiastic?”


  Brother Mao said, “That’s impossible. I know everyone in the industry. Only we have our eyes on this place. The rest have their funds elsewhere… Do you know who acquired the properties?”


  The manager said, “These properties weren’t handled by us. All we know is that they are very rich. They swept away all the property from Flora Agency in one go. Furthermore, the government seems to value them quite a bit… After all, such a large transaction would net them plenty of taxes. With their cooperation, the transactions of these properties were quickly closed.”


  “That’s not right. I’ve already sent out news that the prices of the houses are going to increase. Yet, those landlords are so willing to sell them?”


  The manager said, “I heard that they gave a very high price. It’s 30% higher than the market price! Furthermore, they paid in full. Compared to the rumors, closing a deal at such prices is more pragmatic.”


  Brother Mao said, “All of them are gone?”


  The manager said, “Yes, there are some people who thought they were smart and did not sell them. But these people are all watching. They are no longer listing their properties for sale. So…”


  Little Lin said, “Brother Mao, what do we do?”


  Brother Mao was furious, but what could his anger do? All the property had been swept away. No matter how rich he was, what was the point?

  Just when Brother Mao was about to beat someone up…


  The manager suddenly said, “Brother Mao, good news, there’s a large number of people putting up their property for sale!”


  Brother Mao shook his head and said, “A large number of listings? Are you planning to raise the price? If the price is too high, forget it.”


  Little Lin did not give up and leaned over, cursing. “I want to see how much these bastards are selling at!”


  However, when he leaned over to take a look, Little Lin was so angry that he cursed. “These bastards are too ruthless! They raised the property prices from about 2,000 psm to 10,000 psm! Is this guy crazy? Is he trying to rob a bank?”


  Upon hearing this number, Brother Mao also shook his head and said, “This fellow is a fool. He must be a newbie and doesn’t know anything. All he knows is to throw money to raise the price. This idiot will lose all his money. Let’s go, Little Lin, let’s change places.”


  Brother Mao then left with Little Lin.

  The manager also wore a look of pity. Such a huge deal was gone just like that… At the same time, he was considering if he should switch to another city. Fangzheng and company’s sweeping of property made it impossible for them to receive any business in a short period of time.

  They only earned 1,000 yuan in basic pay. The rest depended on commissions, so he couldn’t afford to support his family with that…


  Meanwhile, Fangzheng met Jing Yan again.

  Jing Yan asked in puzzlement, “Master, aren’t you being too ruthless? You raised the price of about 2000 yuan to 10,000 yuan per square meter!? Who would dare buy your property?”


  Fangzheng chuckled. “No matter who buys it, it’s fine if ordinary citizens don’t.”


  Jing Yan frowned. “Then wouldn’t you be unable to sell it? Besides, Brother Mao and the rest wouldn’t buy property at such high prices, right? That’s too expensive…”


  Fangzheng shook his head. “They will buy it, but before that, we have to do something.”


  Jing Yan said in surprise, “What are you doing?”


  Fangzheng said, “To pay them back with their own coin. On this matter, your help will be needed, Patron.”


  Jing Yan was taken aback as she asked, “My help? What am I to do?”


  Fang Zheng whispered in Jing Yan’s ear.

  Jing Yan exclaimed, “Master, aren’t you too evil? You are trying to scam them to death!”


  Fangzheng smiled. “Don’t say that. This Penniless Monk is a good person.”


  Jing Yan said, “But even if that’s the case, they might not bite.”


  Fangzheng shook his head and said, “Don’t worry about this Patron. If they don’t bite, This Penniless Monk will have ways to make them do so.”


  Jing Yan had no idea what Fangzheng was up to, but out of his trust, she nodded and agreed. She immediately took out her computer and began working.

  Just as Brother Mao returned to pack his things and leave Songwu County, a piece of news swept through Songwu County like a typhoon!

  “Brother Mao, quickly look at the Songwu County Tieba forum! Something big has happened!” Little Lin exclaimed excitedly.

  Brother Mao frowned. “What happened?”


  Little Lin said, “Hurry up and take a look. Oh my god, that fool is going to be rich.”


  Brother Mao did not understand what Little Lin was saying and quickly took out his cell phone to check the Tieba forum. He was shocked by the first headline he saw!
