Chapter 11
An Almighty System From On High
âItâs amazing! Itâs so easy for me to learn things in the future. System, Iâm going to use Projections.â
Adrien had much higher expectations for Projections than Blessing because Projections could bring him direct benefits.
âThe system is starting Projections. Please wait a moment. Itâs about to be refreshed!â
âDing! The system predicted that on April 4th, 2034, the Orchard Apartment, which is on 3rd Street, 4th Street, and 5th Street of Cutural Avenue in Education Block, will be demolished. Host, please seize the opportunity.â
When Adrien heard the result, he immediately took out his phone to record the System prediction. He checked the map and found that the Orchard Apartment had been established for almost forty years, and no one had lived there for a long time. Besides, the area was very large..
Adrien didnât learn much about the demolition, but his employees should know about it. He remembered that Corestar Group had projects for the development of the land..
Adrien checked the time. It was 3:45 in the afternoon, and it was not time to get off work..
After Adrien checked the call list of yesterday, he found Lilianneâs phone number and dialed it quickly.
Quickly, the phone was connected.
âThis is Celia, Ms. Olsonâs assistant. She is in a meeting. What can I do for you?â
When Adrien heard this, he realized that Lilianne had forgotten to save his phone number.
âIâm Adrien Higgins. I have something urgent to tell Lilianne âMr. Higgins, Iâm going to find Ms. Olson right now. Please wait a moment.â
With Lilianneâs phone, Celia ran from the general managerâs office to the meeting room quickly. It took her less than ten seconds.
âBang!â The door of the meeting room was pushed open by Celia.
After Lilianne just announced that the company had been acquired, and the new boss was very rich, all the vice presidents, assistants, executive workers, and department managers present were shocked by Celia.
Wearing high heels, Celia rushed to Lilianne and whispered, âMs. Olson. Mr. Higgins called you for something urgent!â
When Lilianne heard that it was a call from Adrien, she quickly waved her hand to the people, indicating them to be quiet. After that, she pointed at the phone and walked out of the meeting room.
âMr. Higgins, Iâm Lilianne.â
âLilianne, I have something urgent and need your help.â
âWhatâs up?â Lilianne asked curiously. Mr. Higgins was young and seemed to be inexperienced. What would he need?
âWhat kind of land business does our company do?â
âMr. Higgins, Corestar Group has been seizing the land and then selling it to other real estate companies. Although the profit. is not as high as that of the real estate company, it is quite a lot.â
Lilianne. I found a shabby land. Itâs Orchard Apartment on 3rd Street, 4th Street, and 5th Street on Cutural Avenue in Education Block 1.
âMr. Higgins, that is a dead land! It has been decades, but the government doesnât plan to develop it.
We have considered it 12 48 Wed, 12 Jul DAH.
before, but after research, we found it was not a good place. Mr. Higgins, you are still young, I thinkâ¦â
Lihanne, listen to me. Since the company thinks itâs not a good place, how about this? Iâll give you some money, and you buy the old houses there. All the houses will belong to me. If there is any change in the future, the 10% of the difference in profit will be used as the companyâs fund. Is that okay?â
Hearing what Adrien said, Lilianne didnât know how to refuse. Mr. Higgins gave money to employees and asked them to buy the old houses there. If there was profit, Mr. Higgins would give money to the company. Lilianne was not stupid, and why would she not agree?
âMr. Higgins, since you have made up your mind. We will do it. How much will you pay to buy those shabby houses?â
âHow much is the housing price there now? What have you found out about it before?â
âMr. Higgins, the housing price over there is only 130 dollars per square feet. There are 117 buildings in total, all of which have six floors, so there are about 6318 houses in total. The houses are too old and about to collapse. Moreover, they all cover an area of two thousand square feet. They are worthless, and they donât deserve the investment at all. Many developers wanted to develop there, but there seems to be something underground, so the buildings there canât be built high. Now there are only a few people living there, and they are all selling their houses. Besides, there is no limit there. As long as you are willing, you can buy them all. Mr. Higgins, this investment will lose money!â
âWell, I see. Adrien calculated for a while. He won a lottery of 120 million dollars. After he spent 20 million dollars on buying the house, there were 100 million dollars left, which was enough to buy all the houses there.
*Lilianne, Iâll give you a task. Iâll invest 100 million dollars in the company. You lead the colleagues to follow up the project. and make sure to buy all the shabby houses over there before April 1st.
Remember, all of them! Tell me if the money is not enough.â
âMr. Higginsâ¦â
âItâs my decision!â As Adrien said confidently, he transferred 100 million dollars to the account that Lilianne gave him.
âLilianne, if this is done, I will give everyone who participates a bonus of three thousand dollars at the end of next month.â
âWell, Mr. Higgins, since you have decided, we will try our best to complete it!â
âGo to do this work next week. Iâll send you my ID card next Mondayâ
After hanging up the phone, Lilianne was still in a daze. Was Mr. Higgins so rich that he didnât take 100 million dollars. seriously?
After returning to the meeting room, Lilianne cleared her throat and said, âMr. Higgins said he would invest 100 million. dollars, and he asked us to buy all the old houses in Orchard Apartment on 3rd Street, 4th Street, 5th Street on Cutural Avenue in Education Block before April 1st. All the houses will be under his name. Everyone will get an extra three thousand dollars in April if it is completedâ
âWhat? Thatâs a dead land! Whatâs wrong with Mr. Higgins?â
âForget it. He is rich, and he asks us to buy the houses with his own money. We are his employees, and we have to work hard for the three thousand dollars.â
As Lilianne heard these disdainful and distrustful words, she felt helpless. After all, she didnât believe in Adrien.
