11 Chapter 11

"It's amazing! It's so easy for me to learn things in the future. System, I'm going to use Projections."

Adrien had much higher expectations for Projections than Blessing because Projections could bring him direct benefits.

[Ding! The System is starting Projections. Please wait a moment. It's about to be refreshed!]

[Ding! The System predicted that on April 4th, 2034, the Orchard Apartment, which is on 3rd street, 4th street, and 5th street of Cultural Avenue in Education Block, will be demolished. Host, please seize the opportunity.]

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 didn't 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 the time to get off work.

After Adrien checked the call list of yesterday, he found Lilianne's phone number and dialed it quickly.

Quickly the phone was connected.

"This is Celia, Ms. Olson's assistant. She is in a meeting. What can I do for you?"

When Adrien heard this, he realized that Lilianne had forgotten to save his phone number.

"I'm Adrien Higgins. I have something urgent to tell Lilianne."

"Mr. Higgins, I'm going to find Ms. Olson, please wait a moment."

With Lilianne's phone, Celia ran from the general manager's office to the meeting room quickly. It took her less than 10 seconds.

"Bang!" the door of 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, "Ms. Olson. Mr. Higgins called you for something urgent!"

When Lilianne heard that the call was 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.

"Mr. Higgins, I'm Lilianne."

"Lilianne, I have something urgent and need your help."

 "What's up?" Lilianne asked curiously. Mr. Higgins was young and seem to be inexperienced. What would he need?

"What kind of land business does our company do?"

 "Mr. Higgins, Corestar Group has been acquiring the land and then selling it to the other real estate companies. Although the profit is not as high as that of the real estate company, it is quite a lot."

"Lilianne, I found a shabby land. It's Orchard Apartment on 3rd street, 4th street, and 5th street on Cultural Avenue in Education Block I…"

 "Mr. Higgins, that is a dead land! It has been decades, but the government doesn't plan to develop it. We have considered it before, but after research. we found it was not a good place. Mr. Higgins, you are still young, I think…"

"Lilianne, listen to me. Since the company thinks it is not a good place, how about this? I'll 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 company's fund. Is that okay?"

Hearing what Adrien said, Lilianne didn't know how to refuse. Mr. Higgins gave money to employees and asked them to buy old houses there. If there was profit, Mr. Higgins would give money to company. Lilianne was not stupid, and why would she not agree?

"Mr. Higgins. Since you have made up your mind, we will do it. How much will you pay to buy those shabby houses?"

"How much is the housing price there now? What have you found out about it before?"

"Mr. Higgins, the housing price over there is 180 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 don't deserve the investment at all. Many developers wanted to develop there, but there seem to be something in underground, so buildings there can't 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!"

"Well, I see." Adrien calculated for a while. He won a lottery of 167 million dollars. After he spent 28 million dollars on buying the house, there were 140 million dollars left, which was enough to buy all the houses there.

"Lilianne, I'll give you a task. I'll invest 140 million dollars in the company. You lead the colleagues to follow up the project and make sure to buy the all the shabby houses over there before April 1st. remember, all of them! Tell me if money is not enough."

"Mr. Higgins…"

"It's my decision!" as Adrien said confidently, he transferred 140 million dollars to the account that Lilianne gave him.

"Lilianne, if this is done, I'll give everyone who participates a bonus of four thousand dollars at the end of next month."

"Well, Mr. Higgins, since you have decided, we will try our best to complete it!"

"Go to do this work next week. I'll send you my I'd card next Monday."

After hanging up the phone, Lilianne was still in a daze. Was Mr. Higgins so rich that he didn't take 140 million dollars seriously?

After returning to the meeting room, Lilianne cleared her throat and said, "Mr. Higgins said he would invest 140 million dollars, and he asked us to buy all the old houses in Orchard Apartment on 3rd street, 4th street, 5th street on Cultural Avenue in Education Block before April 1st. all the houses will be under his name. Everyone get the extra four thousand dollars in April if it is complete."

"What? That's a dead land! What's wrong with Mr. Higgins?"

 "Forget it. He is rich, and he asked us to buy the houses with his own money. We are his employees, and we have to work hard for the four thousand dollars."

As Lilianne heard these disdainful and distrustful words, she felt helpless. After all, she didn't believe in Adrien.
