Chapter 568 1.5 million for a godforsaken place?
Chapter 568 1.5 million for a godforsaken place?
The 10-story office building that Jiang Yi mentioned, which had captured Ye Fan's heart, served as the "gateway" to the entire project.
It occupies a prime location at the intersection of the mountain foot and the lake shore, possessing an independent plot of land and a prominent position.
The location of this building is so perfect that it can be considered a model of feng shui.
Backed by the majestic and continuous Zijin Mountain dragon vein, it is as stable as Mount Tai.
Facing the vast expanse of Xuanwu Lake, a place believed to bring wealth and good fortune, the view from Mingtang is boundless.
It can be described as a place that is "backed by mountains and facing water, sheltered from the wind and gathering energy", occupying a strategically advantageous location.
Ye Fan got out of the car and stood in the open space in front of the building, looking up and carefully examining the surroundings.
The main structure of the building has long been completed and stands majestically.
The facade uses a top-of-the-line double-silver insulated glass curtain wall system, which is very expensive and has an excellent balance between transparency and privacy.
Under the afternoon sun, the entire building resembles a series of huge, smooth mirrors, perfectly reflecting and imprinting the azure sky, drifting white clouds, distant emerald lake, and verdant mountains onto its surface. This makes the building seem to disappear into its environment, yet remain dazzling and eye-catching.
The futuristic and sci-fi feel of modern architecture blends seamlessly with the timeless aesthetics of natural landscapes, creating a harmonious whole.
It's easy to imagine that if you were standing on the tenth floor of the office building, at the floor-to-ceiling windows of the reserved CEO's office, you would have an unobstructed and unreserved view of the vast expanse of Xuanwu Lake and the boats dotting the water.
What a sense of control and magnanimity that is!
What made Ye Fan nod in approval even more was that, matching this independent building, there was also a spacious independent front courtyard with a landscaped area, estimated to be several thousand square meters.
The courtyard has already been planted with many precious trees such as Podocarpus macrophyllus, red maple, and osmanthus, along with carefully selected shrubs and flowers, and the landscape is beginning to take shape.
It even includes a reserved space for a helicopter landing pad and a modernly designed open-air mirrored water feature.
The building also features a dedicated, high-end double-level underground parking garage with an intelligent management system and top-quality epoxy flooring, offering ample parking spaces and excellent privacy.
As for those lakeside villas that came into existence in later generations, each worth tens or even hundreds of millions, they were like stars surrounding the moon, or like a loyal guard, distributed on the hillsides behind and to the sides of the office buildings, gracefully spreading upwards along the mountain slopes.
This layout perfectly guarantees the absolute tranquility and privacy required by the villa owners, while making this modern office building with its strong lines at the foot of the mountain the most eye-catching and iconic "landmark" and "value anchor" of the entire Xuanwu Lake No. 1 area.
"Brother Ye, we've arrived."
Jiang Yi opened the car door and got out, naturally adopting the professional and confident demeanor befitting a real estate project manager.
He pointed to the colossal glass building that gleamed against the backdrop of the lake and mountains, his tone filled with undisguised pride, and said to Ye Fan with a smile:
"Backed by the Zhongshan mountain range and facing the Xuanwu Mingtang (a strategic location), does this building, its location, and its layout still meet your standards, Brother Ye?"
He took a deep breath, as if to absorb the aura of this unique landscape into his chest, and his satisfaction with the building soared to an unparalleled peak.
The location here is simply perfect, boasting not only picturesque top-notch natural scenery, but also a tranquil environment like a paradise.
Moreover, the traffic flow is extremely reasonable.
Driving along the scenic lakeside road to the other end, one can seamlessly connect to and directly reach the Nanjing University campus where he usually attends classes.
This truly achieves an elegant and efficient seamless connection between the future hub of a business empire and the pure university life of today.
In his previous life, he could only "eat melons" in the scraps of online news, watching helplessly as the housing prices here turned into a series of daunting "astronomical figures" that could only be used for jokes.
Now, having experienced it firsthand from a different perspective, the overwhelming sense of rare and timeless luxury and ecological value made Ye Fan realize more deeply than anyone else just how "worth it" this place truly is.
Six or seven years from now, even if you come knocking on the door with billions or even tens of billions of dollars in cash, the authorities will absolutely not, and will never, approve even an inch of such construction land.
This is the last train of the era.
It is a standalone 10-story building, with each floor having a regular and square layout and a usable area of 3000 square meters without any waste.
This doesn't even include the fully equipped double-layer high-end underground parking garage and the thousands of square meters of private landscaped forecourt; the building's total floor area is a solid 3 square meters.
For Minglu Culture, which is currently in a period of rapid expansion, this place is spacious enough to host a unique "indoor sports meet," not to mention its current use. Even if it attracts all the top internet celebrities and creative teams in Nanjing and the Yangtze River Delta region in the future, this place will still be large enough to host a unique "indoor sports meet".
Having figured this out, Ye Fan had made up his mind.
He slowly turned around, the sunlight filtering through the glass and casting a long silhouette behind him.
He chuckled lightly, his tone crisp and decisive, getting straight to the point: "Brother Jiang, I really like this place. The layout, the scenery, the location—it's impeccable."
He paused, his smile unchanged: "We men don't beat around the bush, saving us the trouble of all that back-and-forth probing. Let's get straight to the point and talk about the price."
Upon hearing this, Jiang Yi was overjoyed, as if a huge weight had been lifted from his shoulders. He visibly perked up, and his eyes became incredibly bright.
He gritted his teeth, as if he had made a great decision, and said to Ye Fan, "Alright! Brother Ye is straightforward, and I, Jiang Yi, will not back down or play those empty tricks."
His expression was solemn:
"To be honest, according to our group's initial market assessment and launch plan based on the positioning of this top-tier villa area..."
The commercial office buildings here will have a starting price of at least 7000 yuan per square meter. And that doesn't even include the premium for good floors and views.
He abruptly changed the subject, his tone becoming extremely sincere:
"However, since we are talking to someone like you, Brother Ye, who is a close friend, and you are unusually buying the entire building outright with cash, providing immediate financial support, it solves our urgent problem."
"Well, brother, I'll take the liberty of offering a truly 'blood-splitting' price today—5000 yuan per square meter! The entire building will cost 1.5 million yuan!"
"Holy crap?"
As soon as Jiang Yi finished speaking, Wu Shaojie's eyes widened as if he had heard something unbelievable, and he was the first to let out a loud "Awooo!" with an exaggerated expression.
"Old Jiang, did you not wake up properly last night and came here to rob us?"
This place is now covered with trees and lakes, but there isn't even a decent convenience store. It's the dead end!
"You're charging 5,000 per square meter here? Are you crazy or am I deaf?"
He turned to Ye Fan with a "don't fall for it" look on his face: "Old Ye, listen to me, this price is way too inflated! Get this guy to lower the price further, you have to give him a discount! A rock-bottom discount!"
