Jude froze for a moment.
Then his eyes widened fiercely.
Fongroup’s properties in the mainland were gotten abandoned of some time ago. As a real estate developer, Jude was very aware about this.
There were even two industries that were close to him, so he was very interested. However, people who were not in the core circle were not qualified to deal with this kind of industry.
Due to legal issues, it could not be auctioned publicly, so it could only be absorbed internally.
Since Half-the-Harbor Langdon betrayed the mainland first, he had already given u p these industries. This, coupled with some intervention from Jasper, meant that as long as it was taken down, the problem of the ownership of the industry would definitely be resolved.
However as far as Jude knew, the real high -quality industries had been taken away b y Jasper himself, and the remaining ones were basically divided up by the second generation across a relatively large background.
No one could say anything about this.
It was ill-gotten wealth anyway, so of course, it could only be obtained by ill gotten people.
Now, with the addition of Hope Group and Atticus Group’s properties, they still held a full 40% share, so Jude was envious.
Whether it was Fongroup or Hope Group, they were all big names in the real estate industry. Even the Atticus Group, whose main business was not in real estate, relied on the status of Harbor City-owned bigwigs to acquire the best properties in
the mainland.
In order to win them over, the local government in the mainland would give them the best things at the lowest prices.
If one could obtain a few of these
properties, they would surely make a
fortune in the future.
Therefore, to Jude, this was like a free lunch.
However, the next problem soon followed.
And the question was why?
He and Jasper did not really know each. other and their strengths were very different too. So why did Jasper extend him such a big olive branch?
A second question was that he could not afford it.
He would stuff his growing Millenia Group full.
As if he could see through Jude’s embarrassment, Jasper took the initiative to explain, “No matter how good the industry is, it will need people who know i t to operate it. Fongroup was divided up b y those people, but how many of them really understand real estate?
“Obviously, none of them do. All of them just want to resell at a high price. The ones with a bit of vision would hold the property and after taking it down, they’ll not develop or operate it. They will just wait to receive the real estate dividends and sell it after the price increase.
“Once more of this happens, it will affect
the entire real estate industry, “So, what I need is someone capable
enough to take these high-quality
industries and run them well.”
Jude asked subconsciously, “Then why doesn’t JW Real Estates take it all?”
Jasper said with a half-smile, “If JW swallows such a big cake, people will get jealous.”
Jude felt embarrassed.
It was such a simple truth and yet he did not think of it.
“And many of them are commercial real estate projects. As you know, JW Real Estates is mainly engaged in residential development. There are several commercial real estate projects, such as the World Financial Center under construction in Waterhoof City. But this is not the main business of JW Real Estates, s o I still need more professional people and companies to develop it. That is why, Mr. Whorton, I chose you and Millenia Group.”
Jude said with a wry smile, “But Millenia
Group is too small, and we can’t afford
such a big project.”
“Who said that? The biggest problem with
Millenia Group right now is that the
opportunity for crazy expansion is right i
n front of you, but there are not enough
