Chapter 114: I Want You to Be My Boyfriend
Fang Ling wandered aimlessly with Chen Fan in the amusement park.
After getting the idea, Chen Fan no longer felt that this place was broken and tattered when he looked at it.
It was simply like looking at a mountain of gold and silver.
What should he do?
Should he go for it?
Chen Fan was somewhat conflicted.
Originally, according to his previous plan, after accumulating the first batch of seed money through internet cafes, he was supposed to formally start his entrepreneurship in the internet industry.
That was his expertise, and the internet in 2000 was still a blue ocean for entrepreneurship.
Entering the field at this time would be perfect.
But the real estate industry in 2000 was also an equally tempting treat.
One should know that even in Pudong and Shenzhen, the price per square meter was only around five thousand yuan.
For someone who had returned from the future, this price was somewhat magical.
Chen Fan's original plan was to enter the internet industry first, and then make a fortune before seizing the opportunity to enter the real estate market and make a huge profit.
But now, such an opportunity suddenly presented itself before him.
If he let it go just like that, it would be somewhat regrettable.
As Chen Fan was struggling with this dilemma, a woman in her forties walked by.
"Sister Wang." Fang Ling took the initiative to wave and greet her, while quietly explaining to Chen Fan, "This is the wife of the current owner here, the daughter-in-law of the elderly couple who used to own this place."
Chen Fan nodded to show his understanding.
Looking at the woman's attire, she was clearly more fashionable than ordinary people.
However, her expression wasn't great, and it seemed that her husband's failed business venture, which had lost a considerable amount of money, had affected her mood.
"Fang Ling, you're here again."
The woman forced a smile and greeted them.
Fang Ling smiled and asked, "Sister Wang, are you really going to sell this place?"
The woman nodded.
"My husband has already posted the notice."
"It's better to sell it. Neither of us is interested in keeping this broken place."
Fang Ling frowned slightly, clearly displeased by the woman's description of the place as "broken."
"Has anyone come to take a look?"
The woman shook her head. "Not yet."
"Sigh, this is in the western part of the city, and in the most remote area of the western part. Who would be interested in this place?"
"Fang Ling, if you know any wealthy bosses, you might as well help your sister promote it."
"It's such a large place. Wouldn't it be great to buy it and build a factory?"
Fang Ling smiled and mischievously pointed at Chen Fan standing beside her.
"The big boss is right here. Sister Wang, you can talk to him."
The woman glanced at Chen Fan and realized that Fang Ling was just joking with her.
She clearly didn't take Chen Fan seriously.
However, Chen Fan took the initiative to ask, "Are you planning to sell the amusement park or the entire land together?"
The woman glanced at Chen Fan, clearly unwilling to answer his question.
Probably out of respect for Fang Ling, the woman reluctantly mumbled.
"Either is fine."
"As long as you pay, whether it's buying or renting, we can discuss."
Chen Fan smiled and asked, "If it's for rent, how much per year?"
"Why are you asking so much?" The woman looked at Chen Fan disapprovingly.
Chen Fan didn't get angry and explained with a smile, "You just said you wanted us to help promote it, right?"
"Some of my classmates come from wealthy families. I'm asking so I can go back and introduce it to them."
Upon hearing this, the woman's eyes immediately lit up.
"Little brother, I can see that you're a kind-hearted person."
"Our place is a good place."
"Don't look at how run-down the amusement park appears. Over all these years, there has never been a single accident."
"This place only needs to be bought and renovated a bit, and it can continue operating without any problems..."
Chen Fan had to interrupt her.
"Sister Wang, right? I'm just asking how much it would cost to rent this place for a year."
"Oh, the annual rent is 250,000 yuan."
Chen Fan was slightly taken aback. "That's not cheap at all."
"Look at how you're talking. You should see how big this place is."
"This area over here, and that area, have you seen the soccer field on the west side...all of that is within the scope of our amusement park..."
"Just the land alone would cost a considerable amount in annual rent, right?"
Chen Fan didn't want to argue and continued asking, "What about buying it?"
"Buying the amusement park?"
Chen Fan shook his head. "How much for buying the land together?"
The woman didn't hesitate. "My husband said that if we sell the land together with the amusement park, we can give a discounted price of 4 million yuan."
If this were twenty years later, Chen Fan estimated he would say that 4 million yuan was practically giving it away.
But now, he couldn't help but silently criticize in his heart.
They really dare to ask for that much.
Although this place is large, its remote location means the land value isn't high.
Four million yuan is definitely overpriced.
"Alright, I'll remember that and help you promote it when I go back."
After seeing the woman off, Chen Fan turned to look at Fang Ling.
"Is the nostalgia trip over? Shouldn't we head back now?"
As the two walked out of the amusement park, Fang Ling kept her head down and remained silent.
Chen Fan, on the other hand, was constantly surveying the surroundings.
Even until now, he was still debating whether he should take action or not.
One voice in his mind told him to be rational.
Use all his savings to start an internet business first, as that was the safest option, and then come back to invest in physical industries after making a fortune.
Another voice, however, said that opportunities don't wait for anyone.
This was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. Was he willing to watch the money just disappear before his eyes?
Chen Fan's current savings were probably around five to six million yuan.
If he really spent four million to buy this amusement park,
then he would have less than two million left.
He also wanted to buy a house and fulfill Su Ruochu's wish...
Would he end up being strapped for cash by then?
As Chen Fan hesitated and struggled with the dilemma, Fang Ling, who was walking ahead, suddenly stopped in her tracks.
She abruptly turned around to face him.
Chen Fan, lost in thought with his head down, didn't notice this scene.
As a result, he bumped straight into Fang Ling's embrace.
"Ah..."
Fang Ling stepped back in pain, while Chen Fan only felt as if his head had collided with a pair of soft balloons, directly bouncing him back.
It wasn't until he saw Fang Ling's aggrieved and pained expression as she clutched her chest that Chen Fan suddenly realized what had happened.
"Sorry, sorry, I was lost in thought just now..."
Chen Fan quickly went over and apologized repeatedly, while Fang Ling complained with an aggrieved look.
"Did you want to kill me?"
Chen Fan smiled bitterly. "I'm really sorry, it was my fault..."
"Is just an apology enough?" Fang Ling glared at him. "You dented my chest with your bump."
Chen Fan: "..."
His gaze subconsciously glanced at Fang Ling's chest.
Thinking to himself, it doesn't look dented at all, in fact, it looks quite perky.
"What are you looking at?" Fang Ling glared at him again.
Chen Fan hurriedly lowered his head in embarrassment.
"This... well, tell me what I should do for you to forgive me."
"You said it yourself."
Fang Ling's expression changed, a mischievous glint flashing in her eyes.
"I want you to be my boyfriend!"
