124 Protective Talisman (1/2)

”Don't worry, if there really was trouble, I would be able to handle it with ease.” Chen Fan said lightly.

An Ya turned her head back and gave Chen Fan a surprised look.

She could feel that something had drastically changed inside of Chen Fan. He was brimming with confidence, and even his plain face seemed to gain a unique charm.

”That's enough talk about me. Sister An, how are you and mother doing in Zhong Hai? How is Jin Xiu group?” Chen Fan asked.

”Same old, same old. I am in my last year of university now, so I am doing my internship at mom's office as her assistant.”

An Ya pulled back a loose strand of hair and answered softly. She wore a grey slim fit peacoat and a small wool fascinator. Under her belt, she wore tight jeans and beige boots. Her style brought out the goddess in her.

An Ya had her mother, An Jinxiu's beauty. She was only in her early twenties, but she had already possessed incredible charm.

Chen Fan's mother used to tell him that An Jinxiu was one of the prettiest girls in Jin City, and was the pride of the An Family. Her family had planned to marry her off to a handsome boy from a prestigious family. However, a no-account acted one step ahead of time and captivated An Jinxiu's heart with his talent in poetry. It was a shame that their story had such a tragic end.

”Jin Xiu Group is growing pretty fast. However, the overall economic environment is not great. The financial market had been volatile, which drove a significant slide in the price of real estate and major comedies. The monetary leverage is shrinking by the day. Many real estate companies in Zhong Hai had started to aggressively acquire land and assets to avoid a sudden break in cash flow.” An Ya explained.Find authorized novels in Webnovel，faster updates, better experience，Please click for visiting.

Once she started to talk about business, she transformed from a girl next door to shrewd business analyst. Her analysis was thorough and precise, and her observations keen and detailed.

”The City of Zhong Hai is planning to auction off some of their vacant public lands.

”Of all the bidders, we are the smallest fish. Initially, we were vying for the smallest plot, but because of the recent economic downturn, no one was taking a bid yet. Everyone was afraid that a real estate winter is coming. Mom is still on the fence as well.”

So saying, An Ya furrowed her brows.

Chen Fan did recall an economic crisis in 2008 when housing prices fell drastically. Soon the country tabled an economic stimulus plan, and after 2009, the housing prices had skyrocketed to the point that it made people lose hope of ever owning a house.

China had since become one of the only countries whose economy had weathered the financial crisis unscathed.

The vacant lands that were going to put on auction were located in the city center and in the newly developed districts. They were both high-value properties and had great potential as investments.

Jin Xiu Group had hesitated in the beginning; however, in the end, Wang Xiaoyun decided to take a gamble and went all in. The investment quickly paid off after the subsequent rise of housing prices in China, and Wang Xiaoyun became the Queen of Chinese real estate.

”There is no need to worry, Sister An. The housing price in China will soar in the next ten years. The real estate business will be the most profitable industry in China.”Chen Fan said lightly. ”If I was running the company, I would not only put all the money in it but also take as big of a loan as I could to buy all the vacant land.”

”The value of this property is going to grow to at least ten times its current price.”

”Xiao Fan, how do you know all of this?”

An Ya asked curiously.

”Because I am Master Chen!” Chen Fan plastered on a look that could pass for a religious conman.”I know things that happened five hundred years in the past and into the future.”

”That's a lame name. Master Chen… makes you sound like a fortune teller on the street.”

An Ya cracked a smile and then punched at Chen Fan with her small and soft fist.

”Fine, fine. I am sorry. I came to that conclusion because I believe in China's economic potential. At this growth rate, China will not slow down in the next ten years. The current housing prices are too low; therefore, it will rebound sooner or later.”

”Really?” An Ya asked incredulously.

She gave Chen Fan a curious look as Chen Fan's knowledge in the economy had taken her by surprise.

Chen Fan cracked a smile and didn't press on.

It didn't matter if An Jinxiu or his mother listened to his suggestion. It wouldn't be a big deal even if Jin Xiu Group went bankrupt.

”I am not the same person any longer. I was useless before opponents such as the Sheng Family, but not anymore” A cold light glinted in Chen Fan's eyes. ”If you want to defeat Jin Xiu Group, you better exchange your victory with your life.”

The thought of the Sheng family made the light in his eyes shine even brighter. He planned to deal with the Sheng Family right after the new year celebration.

Even if his mother lost the battle again and lost all of their money, they would still stand a chance as long as Chen Fan was alive.

Chen Fan's Spirit Qi Water alone was a multi-billion business, and Jin Xiu Group wouldn't be able to rake in so much profit even during its heyday.

Therefore Chen Fan didn't need to care about how well his mother's company was doing. However, the company was everything to his mother, and therefore, he wished that it could do well all the same.
