Chapter 809: Chapter 338: Top-Tier Mansion

February 13, sunny, everything seems suitable, but the end is near.

A little after 8 a.m., Han Lie was picked up by Pan Ge at the hotel entrance.

Yes, today it was Pan, the assistant, taking the initiative to pick up Han Lie in the Phantom.

Being looked at with those surprised and envious gazes from the hotel guests, Brother Lie strangely felt a subtle sense of enjoying the perks of a kept man...

Driving to the East Suburbs Villa Area, the regional manager of Taipingfang and the property manager of Hua Zhou Juntin were already waiting at the main gate of the Hua Zhou Juntin villa area.

Han Lie didn’t get out of the car, just rolled down the window.

The young man in front immediately walked over, bent slightly to exchange pleasantries with Han Lie.

"President Han, thank you for choosing Hua Zhou Juntin as your first choice. I am Luo Zhen, the legal representative of the property company. On behalf of all employees of Hua Zhou Real Estate and Xin Ju Property, I warmly welcome your arrival!"

Upon hearing him introduce himself as Luo, Han Lie’s mind momentarily lit up, his gaze slowly sliding over the other’s face.

Luo Zhen seemed just over thirty, slim yet energetic, dressed in a well-fitted suit, being both enthusiastic and sincere without appearing sycophantic; his finesse was quite impressive.

Behind him stood several people, one of whom was Gong Fan, the regional manager of Taipingfang, while the other two also seemed to hold significant positions.

Han Lie raised an eyebrow and asked, "Is President Luo of Hua Zhou related to you...?"

"He is my father."

Luo Zhen’s attitude was warm and respectful, his politeness quite comforting.

"Since last parting, my father often mentioned your elegance, President Han. Today he intended to be here to receive you personally, but unfortunately, he was caught up by some trivial matters and couldn’t make it, so he specifically instructed me, regardless of whether the deal goes through or not, to ensure you’re well hosted..."

"I see."

Han Lie gently nodded, his smile becoming a bit more friendly: "Thank you, President Luo for the kind regard, you’re too generous."

"You’re welcome, you are our esteemed guest. Shall we chat further inside?"

"Sure, please lead the way."

Despite the politeness, Han Lie didn’t get out of the car.

Luo Zhen didn’t mind at all, turning to walk towards the gate, getting on an electric vehicle to lead the way, guiding the Phantom towards today’s targeted villa.

Ordinarily, outside vehicles aren’t allowed into Hua Zhou Juntin, but today is clearly an exception. 𝚏𝕣𝐞𝗲𝐰𝕖𝐛𝐧𝕠𝕧𝚎𝚕.𝐜𝚘𝗺

Pan Ge watched this scene curiously and proactively inquired: "Luo Zhen seems awfully polite to you... When did you get connected with the Luo family?"

Brother Lie raised an eyebrow: "You know the Luo family?"

"Of course."

Pan Ge nodded, then shook his head again: "But not much contact, they became wealthy relatively late, and their social circles don’t overlap with ours. Although, Luo Zhen’s cousin once dated the sister of a friend of mine..."

Oh my, the local circles, huh...

Han Lie sighed briefly, giving a simple explanation: "The last time at Gu Yong’s celebration, many real estate developers were present, I chatted briefly with President Luo, he asked if I had any intention to buy property, who would have thought after circling around, I’d actually come to look at his project..."

"Oh!"

Pan Ge nodded understandingly, then, with a thoughtful demeanor, expressed a rather insightful observation.

"The vastness of Magic Capital is relative. For some, Magic Capital seems small enough that they only need to interact with a few hundred people, seeing them constantly.

Advancing in social circles is essentially a process of narrowing down circles. I hope, Lie Lie, that you’ll eventually shrink your social circle in Magic Capital to just a few dozen..."

"Hey, who knew, you actually have the potential to be a supportive partner?"

Han Lie gently lifted Pan Ge’s chin and kissed her, immediately breaking her composure.

"Annoying! I’m talking serious stuff with you!"

"Alright, alright! I’ve received your blessings~~~"

The two of them teased each other for about half a minute until they reached their destination.

Luo Zhen stood respectfully at the back door of the Phantom, receiving both Han Lie and Pan Ge.

Although Hua Zhou Juntin is currently one of Magic Capital’s top-tier villas, known alongside Tan Palace as the twin pinnacles of east and west, Hua Zhou Real Estate is actually just a local medium-sized developer.

Initially, it was collectively owned, then transitioned to private ownership; achieving Hua Zhou Juntin was indeed a stroke of luck and perfect timing, but the controlling Luo family isn’t considered a top-tier aristocracy, and haven’t developed any large projects since Juntin.

Therefore, from a need and status perspective, they have to respect Han Lie.

To private real estate companies at this moment, Teacher Han is someone they must not offend.

The good news is, Hua Zhou Real Estate isn’t taking large steps, not urgently needing a bailout through financing.

The bad news is, selling Hua Zhou Juntin is under a lot of pressure; 11 unsold houses remain, and selling them proves quite difficult.

Despite holding back his anxiety and expectations, Luo Zhen politely and enthusiastically introduced Han Lie and Pan Ge.

"Our villas are located in the Pudong Zhangjiang East Suburbs Villa Zone, north of Longdong Avenue. Currently, multiple high-end villa projects are on sale in this area, with an overall mature residential atmosphere.

Across from us is the grand gate of East Suburbs No. 1, extending nearly a hundred meters, grand and majestic, yet the price across the street is less than 100,000 per square meter, half of ours.

Due to differences internally in zoning, greenery, home layouts, and design, there’s a huge gap between them and us.

Comparatively, Tan Palace in the west suburbs, each villa covers an area of about 4 acres, while our total of 21 villas, each covers 5 acres.

And for instance, He Sheng East Suburbs Villa, divided only by a road from us, has an area larger than ours by about one fifth, crowded with 45 standalone villas, with a construction area of only about 1000 square meters, it’s far from scarce, grand, or noble.
