Chapter 1169: Chapter 469: Heart of Darkness in Finance

The next day, the whole city was buzzing with excitement.

Han Lie really didn’t advertise, but the news of Dream Garden going on sale still spread like wildfire through every nook and cranny of Dream City.

As a result, many people flocked to the area to have a look around.

Given Dream City’s population, if one in every hundred people were bored enough to join in the hustle and bustle, it would be beyond Dream Garden’s capacity to accommodate them.

Therefore, right from early morning, the road in front of Dream Garden was cordoned off.

They even requested assistance.

Yet, even this couldn’t stop the surging crowd outside the cordon.

Then, various major banks drove to the sales office, usually with two cars each—one empty cash transport vehicle and one minibus filled with tellers.

The tellers found a place inside the sales office, set up their tables, laid out several cash counting machines, and prepared themselves with great expectancy.

They were experienced now and knew that on occasions like today, there would be a lot of big spenders bringing cash.

Before the houses went on sale, the banks could pull in a wave of deposits, pre-count the cash, and store it in personal accounts. If the customer didn’t end up buying a house, the deposit was pure profit.

The managers ran around communicating, sweating all over, while the bank heads went upstairs to visit Han Yong’s house.

Yes, that’s right, the property is under Han Yong’s name and has nothing to do with Lie Ge.

The 760-plus square meter luxury building king, with 6 bedrooms, 3 living rooms, 1 kitchen, 4 bathrooms, and two balconies, was decorated with heavy investment by Pan Shengwu and Pan Dajun, dazzling everyone.

Describing it specifically, it’s the current leading level among large flat apartments.

The reason for adding qualifiers is that future premium large flats have become increasingly extravagant, boasting up to 1500 square meters, without knowing who plans to buy them…

For now, though, the core areas of Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou, and Shenzhen have yet to see such a super large flat of 760 square meters, as the cost isn’t of the same magnitude.

Waves of guests came, wandering through the house as if they were navigating a maze. Two people who had just greeted each other at the door might not encounter each other again for another hour—so exaggerated.

The upstairs was lively, and the downstairs even livelier.

A string of luxury cars pulled up to the entrance, quickly filling the underground parking lot, then began parking along the roadside of the community.

The community, with only two buildings, mostly consisted of landscape and greenery, leaving no room for parking.

Subsequent arrivals also filled up the streets outside the community.

A group of idlers watching the excitement had every car plate number down pat.

But interestingly, most of the VIPs personally greeted by Han Lie came from cars they couldn’t recognize.

Noteworthy among them were two friends of Panzi from the provincial capital.

One was the spouse of an executive vice president of the Heavy Machinery Group, arriving very low-key and chatting with Han Lie for a bit before wandering off on her own.

The other was a collector and art dealer.

The gentleman, in his fifties, greeted Han Lie by handing him a string of beads, saying, “Wear it, wear it! It’s good for your health!”

He then took Han Lie’s hand, smiling and chattering, “Nephew, Brother Wu ordered a tea set from me and said to come to Magic Capital to collect the payment in person.

When I got to Magic Capital, he played tricks and ended up sending me here to find you for the settlement…

As an uncle, I’m not pressing you for money right at this moment, but I’ve endured a lot from Brother Five; he egged me on to come and ask you for the money first, thinking, debts of the father are inherited by the son, that’s just how it is.

So, what do you think?”

Han Lie found it to be both funny and exasperating, thinking to himself, is Panzi deliberately finding trouble for me?

Fine, just you wait and see!

“No worries, Uncle Zang, just name your price, and I’ll pay it.”

“Alright! A friendly 72 million!”

Old Zang’s eyes narrowed with his smile, “No need to pay now, nephew, you just carry on with your business. Stop by my place when you feel like it, and we’ll settle it then!”

Good grief!

Panzi really knows I hit a big one, squeezing me dry, huh?

Han Lie was itching with anger, thinking: If I spent 72 million on your daughter, I’d gain 210 million experiences, but buying a lousy tea set for you would be a loss of 144 million!

Fine, fine, just you wait and see!

Aside from this little episode, the entire day was full of joy.

At 8:58, the red silk covering the large characters at the entrance of Dream Garden was removed, marking its low-key opening.

In the morning, bidding numbers were distributed, with each person paying a 1 million guarantee and filling out a detailed registration application. Even with such high entry thresholds, there were still over 200 purchasing intents.

Just how astonishing is this city’s wealth?

From the moment he received the first intent, Han Lie got busy.

In Pan Dajun’s luxury building king, he, Pan Dajun, the old village head, Shen Cheng, Uncle Ma Long, his ex-father-in-law’s secretary, and his little brother Niu Ben formed a review panel.

90 housing units, 120 bidding qualifications, more than 200 application forms.

The first step, then, was to filter out over 80 unsuitable clients.

The so-called unsuitable doesn’t directly relate to money, as the actual amount of assets isn’t the most important criterion.

The evaluation is carried out from multiple dimensions.

Pan Dajun and the old village head were responsible for providing reputations, reputations, and conduct styles of the clients.

Shen Cheng provided the asset and liability situations—he couldn’t do it by himself, but with the support of the central bank’s boss, it’s just a matter of making two phone calls.

Ma Long was responsible for providing the clients’ street reputations.

Niu Ben handled the clients’ “street” reputations, along with their major blemishes or lack thereof.

Participating in such a big event for the first time, Niu Ben was somewhat on edge, both excited and nervous, fearing he might be of no help.
