Chapter 88

Dawson chuckled wryly and said, “300 million.”

“That’s insane!” Jasper did not know whether to laugh or cry.

“According to the market price right now, the residential area in the province will be about 3,000 dollars per square foot. A 16-acre land won’t even be 11,000 square meters, so 34 million should be enough and they’re asking for ten times the price?”

“Also the land development rights to develop the south bank of Southface River as a whole.”

What Dawson said was shocking.

Jasper lifted his eyebrow violently, and one word appeared in his heart immediately. ‘Buy!’

There were a lot of barren hills on the north bank of the Southface River, so it was not suitable for commercial development. In comparison, the commercial value of the south bank would be much higher.

This piece of land was located at the south bank of the Southface River, and the entire river cut across the province. Not only would there be universities in the future, but there would also even be affiliated high schools and a series of schools for the elite.

The amusement park invested by investors from Harbor City in the future would be built at the south bank as well.

It could be said that in the next 20 years, the south bank of the Southface River that stretched for six kilometers would be the main area of development for the entire province.

If one had the land development rights, then it would mean that they had bought a vast swathe of the province in the next 20 years.

Since they had made a horrible loss from this deal, the province never sold any land development rights as a whole in the future anymore.

The most they would give was one of the barren hills, but even so, people would go head-to-head for it.

“The base auction price is 300 million dollars, so big families like the Hanks will definitely go for it. Anyone can see the importance of land development rights as a whole. It would be worth it even if you can just hold on to it. As such, the final price will definitely be high.”

Dawson pinched the bridge of his nose and said, “Do you think there’s a need for us to fight for this?”

“We have to take this down.”

Jasper’s extremely resolute voice made Dawson and Wendy look over in surprise.

After he opened the map again, Jasper pointed at the heart of the city and said, “The heart of the city is too old. The city hall is contemplating the expansion of the city now, but according to my knowledge about the more urbanized cities, the transformed old city and the development of the new city will be mainstreamed.

“Look, is there another place more suitable than the south bank of the Southface River in the entire province?”

Dawson and Wendy looked closely, and much to their surprise, they realized if they really were to build a new city, there would be no better place for it in the entire province than the south bank of the Southface River.

“Once we can get the land development rights to develop the south bank of the Southface River as a whole, then we will obtain the biggest power of speech in the core of the economic sector in the province in the next 20 years.”

Jasper said with utmost confidence and assurance. Then, he opened his palm and made a grabbing motion with his hand on the map.

“This will be the trend in the future, and it’s also the one thing that will help our real estate company flourish.”

Dawson stared straight at Jasper. He suppressed the emotions and excitement in his heart before saying, “Are you already planning for the trend in the next 20 years?”

Jasper said conceitedly, “Uncle Schuler, this is the age when only the strong survive and we don’t have much time. We can’t move steadily and surely now. If we want to do this, we have to grab the chance to get instant success.”

“Okay! I trust you!”

If Dawson could start from nothing and build the family business to what he had now, it would mean that he was not an indecisive person.

“If the trend you mentioned were to come true, then it would be worth it even if I just hold the land in my hand for ten years.”

Jasper thought silently in his heart, ‘You don’t need ten years. If my memory is correct, the businessmen from Harbor City might now be in contact with the leaders in the Provincial Foreign Direct Investment Department.’

After confirming the amusement park project on the south bank of Southface River according to his memory of his past life, the investment of three billion would become the biggest foreign direct investment in the province this year.

If this project was implemented, then the capital for the land development rights would be back!ConTEent bel0ngs to Nôv(e)lD/rama(.)Org .
