The Windfalls of Love (Roxanne and Harrison) novel Chapter 57

Harrison laughed at himself before turning to Roxanne and asked, "Don't worry about whether someone would take on that unfinished real estate project. Just tell me, if you really get your apartment, would you still keep running this little stall?"

Roxanne pondered the question for a moment, but Harrison cut her off with his earnest look, discussing the matter as if someone would really take over the unfinished project, which seemed impossible.

"I never thought about that. Because it's impossible, I don't get my hopes up, and I don't consider it in my plans," Roxanne confessed. "I think selling more bags makes more sense."

Just then, a few female college students came by to check out the bags at her stall. Roxanne quickly greeted them.

Meanwhile, Harrison sent a message to Alexander to prepare another budget for acquiring the unfinished East Adjacent Estates project.

Minutes later, Alexander replied, "Harrison, how many times do you want me to do this budget? Haven't I already done it once? Acquiring that unfinished project is like throwing money down the drain. Please don't tell me you got a sudden urge to buy it."

Harrison replied, "Let's talk when I get back to the office."

Half an hour later, Harrison returned to the office.

Alexander's budget was the same as before, predicting a loss of several hundred million.

Harrison sat on the sofa, picked up a pen, and wrote a few lines on a piece of paper.

"Adding two projects could turn the tide. First, build a comprehensive school from kindergarten to high school across from the residential area. Our group will handle the construction. You'll deal with the government regarding the teacher recruitment. Second..."

"Harrison, wait. The project is already a loss. Building a large school would just add to the loss, wouldn't it?" Alexander interrupted.

"I haven't finished."

"Go on."

Acquiring means losing. That's a fact.

Alexander was curious to see how Harrison planned to turn this around, so he listened quietly.

Harrison then added a second project, a subway station.

Alexander frowned, "Harrison, the subway stations nearby have already been set. You want to move one next to the East Adjacent Estates?"

"Didn't I tell you to talk to the relevant departments?" Harrison replied calmly.

Alexander asked, "Can this even be negotiated?"

Harrison seemed quite confident, "The government also wants to do something beneficial for the public. Suppose they can revive that unfinished project and stop owners from protesting while also getting a school to solve the shortage of school places nearby. In that case, they'll definitely be willing to move an already planned subway station. With both a school and a subway station, we can develop more new real estate projects and double the price of the new houses, thus turning the acquisition profitable."

Alexander admired Harrison, praising, "Harrison, you're a business genius. You turned a clear loss into a profit. But why didn't you think of this earlier?"

Earlier?

He used to think that he didn't need to go through all this for a woman. But now...

He wasn't sure why he wanted to acquire this estate.

Anyway, he didn't want to see Roxanne struggling.

If Roxanne could finally get her apartment, maybe she wouldn't need to work so hard to earn money.

So, he came up with a plan to make this acquisition profitable.
