This method of word-of-mouth promotion.

The advantage was that everyone knew about the old town district's renovation.

Yet everyone kept it from each other, nobody spoke a word.

Soon, news of the old town district's renovation.

This secret document of the District Government Office had become an open secret to all.

And this was exactly what Yang Fei and Lin Xueyi needed.

It didn't cause a sensation, yet everyone knew the secret.

The renovation and demolition of the old district meant compensation and indemnity.

Only a fool would sell their house at this time.

Fang Tang and Fan Song's rush to Yannan was just a vain delight, like a dog chasing its tail.

Indeed, as Yang Fei had anticipated, Fang Tang and Fan Song underwent many hardships.

They finally arrived in Yannan City at midnight.

The torment along the way could simply be described as unbearable, a torment warranting death.

Just as Yang Fei had expected, their car started having problems as soon as they hit the highway.

First, the car moved as slow as a snail.

But more critically, it kept stalling out every now and then.

No matter what they tried, they couldn't get it to start again.

Just when they had resolved to call a tow truck for repairs, the car miraculously started again.

Start the ignition, drive off, at first, everything was normal.

However, less than twenty minutes later, the car became slower and slower, like a turtle crawling.

Finally, it simply stalled and stopped.

This cycle repeated over and over.

The two of them were nearly going mad and called for emergency roadside assistance to check the car.

The mechanic only knew there was a problem with the fuel supply system but couldn't fix it.

If they had let the tow truck take it to a repair shop, it would have delayed their journey.

Perhaps three days, five days, or even half a month, and the car might still not be repaired.

Most critically, the mechanic had never seen such a problem before and didn't dare take the job.

Fang Tang's Lavida was one thing, valued at just over a hundred thousand.

But Fan Song's Maserati was a luxury car worth two or three million, and the losses would be unimaginable.

Having no other choice, they toughened up and drove the car, stopping and starting again and again,

Finally, they saw the dazzling lights of Yannan City.

Fang Tang and Fan Song both felt tears welling up in their eyes.

They dumped the two damned cars at the local 4S store, then checked into a hotel and comfortably went straight to sleep.

The next morning, Fan Song woke Fang Tang up early.

Carrying dreams of overnight riches, they began preparations to buy up properties in the old town district.

Fan Song was a shrewd businessman, and navigating this kind of investment game was second nature to him.

He rented an office space by morning,

Then hired staff and established the Yannan branch of Jinye Real Estate Development Co., Ltd.

Jinye Real Estate Development Co., Ltd. was a company belonging to the Fan family enterprise.

He simply affiliated it with his family's company brand, thus ensuring a reliable reputation and gaining people's trust more easily.

In fact, this so-called branch office.

Other than Fan Song as the general manager, consisted only of two temporarily hired college students.

Fang Tang pulled some strings to access the archives of the original residents of the old town district.

He secretly leaked the archive details to Fan Song.

These archive documents included information on each household in the old town district, such as property architecture, residents, contact details, and more.

All was ready—only the east wind was missing!

To make a swift decision, the purchase price Fan Song offered was extremely generous, 15% above the market value.

He was confident that countless local residents would scramble to sell their properties.

After all, based on this price, a property could sell for an additional fifty to a hundred thousand or even more.

Fan Song sat at his desk, brimming with pride.

He instructed two college students to contact homeowners in the old city district to discuss the purchase.

Just then, something frustrating occurred.

The male student, wearing thick glasses, made a phone call to a household.

He connected the call, barely said two sentences, and then hung up.

The male student lifted his head in a daze.

"How did it go, how did it go? Was the other party excited?"

Fan Song, filled with glowing fantasies, eagerly asked the male student.

The green male student's mouth twitched, nearly on the verge of tears.

"If they won't sell, they won't sell, but why insult someone?"

"Damn, what did they say?"

Fan Song was taken aback and pressed for details.

The male student's eyes reddened: "He said, 'Go to hell with your damn purchase, why should he be cursing?'"

A chill ran through Fan Song, and he felt something was off.

He instructed the female student they had hired, "He might not know how to talk and offended the homeowner, you make the call."

The female student, seeing the male student get scolded, also felt timid.

She bravely dialed a number, her voice as gentle and pleasant as possible.

"Hello, this is Jinye Real Estate Development Co., Ltd. As part of our company's expansion, we are interested in purchasing your old building at a high price. May I ask if you are interested?"

This time, a man answered the call.

Upon hearing a woman's voice, his tone noticeably flirtatious.

"Of course I'm interested, beauty, can we be friends?"

Fan Song, listening, made a victory gesture.

He signaled the female student to keep talking.

The female student softly said, "We can be friends, but our company's purchase plan is very attractive, would you like to hear about it?"

"Hehe, compared to your purchase plan, I'm more interested in you."

The man chuckled, then finally burst out swearing.

"Damn it, do you think I'm a fool? The District Government Office's old city area renovation is about to start, why would I sell my house?"

On the other end of the line, the man started flirting with the female student again.

"Beauty, after the old city district is demolished, I'll be a millionaire. It's not too late to get to know me now, don't say I didn't give you a chance…"

The female student, at a loss, lifted her head and was startled to see the general manager, Fan Song.

Fan Song's expression was strange, his mouth shaped like an 'O', his eyes bulging as if he had been struck by lightning.

On his face, besides shock, there was deep despair.

How did such confidential information leak?

Or was it that Fang Tang was actually playing him?

Fan Song's head buzzed, stars swirling in front of his eyes.

For this acquisition, he had diverted nearly a billion from company finances.

And to make a quick fortune, he had also mortgaged company assets to take out a loan of a billion.

No matter what, Fan Song had not expected his all-in investment to encounter such a situation.

A coldness overcame him; the loan was for a billion, with a term of half a year.

In half a year, the interest on this billion would be astronomical.

If this investment had gone smoothly, a few tens of millions in interest would have been manageable, but now it was maddening.
