Richest Man: Divine-Grade Reconstruct System Chapter 1371 - 1197: Doubled

Looking at the satisfied expression of the dark-skinned man, the chubby man was quite pleased.

After sending off the dark-skinned man, the chubby man also entered the house. After a thorough inspection, he finally completed the transaction with the other party.

From now on, the chubby man considered himself to have a second house in the area.

Moreover, whether it was the interior decoration style or the furniture arrangement, they were identical to the previous ones, looking as if they were carved from the same mold.

In addition, this guy took great care of them, so the furniture was basically in brand-new condition.

Even the bed was clean and tidy, which was certainly not something that an ordinary person could achieve.

From this, it was clear that the other party cherished this house very much, somewhat hesitant to act.

Regarding this, the chubby man was quite satisfied, but he never used the pieces of furniture inside even once.

Instead, he immediately had his staff start rushing to craft a batch of furniture identical to those in his house.

It can be said that once this set of furniture was moved in, the house instantly became very expensive.

But this was just the beginning. After the dark-skinned man left, very soon several familiar people also came to find the chubby man.

They wanted to sell their houses.

Without exception, their families were relatively poor. One could say unreservedly that every family in this area was not wealthy. Their previous houses were thatched cottages. If it weren’t for Lin Yi, they never dared to imagine they could live here.

But even though they now had houses, they didn’t have enough silver for a living, which made them even more difficult. This led them to think about selling their houses when they saw their acquaintance sell his for two thousand taels.

Having silver made a difference; with two thousand taels, they could live prosperously for their remaining years. That’s why the chubby man had almost three to five people visiting him daily in recent days.

Of course, only a minority actually completed a sale. Over the course of three to five days, he had earned a total of eight houses.

And the prices of these eight houses varied, changing according to the level height of the house. For example, the lowest-priced ground-floor unit fetched him only one thousand five hundred taels, while the highest also cost a high three thousand taels.

The chubby man knew that his reputation was very important, and he couldn’t do anything deceitful.

If news spread that he was paying different prices for similar houses, his reputation would be ruined.

At that point, no one would trust him anymore, and no one would sell their house to him.

During this time, the merchants outside were not entirely without benefit either, as there were similar people.

They also acquired a few houses, but unlike the chubby man, they weren’t as skilled in business. They merely purchased the houses they lived in. The price, of course, matched what Galaxy’s chubby man paid.

Why did they acquire fewer even when offering the same price as the chubby man? This was understandable, as the chubby man had already built a good reputation by continuously living there.

His reputation among the local people couldn’t be compared with that of the outside merchants, especially since many had truly received their silver from the chubby man, making them trust him.

In other words, they’d rather sell to the chubby man than to outsiders, even if the chubby man’s offer was slightly lower, which didn’t impact their decision.

Of course, this was contingent upon the chubby man offering a price not lower than the outsiders. It made his business extraordinarily successful, quickly accumulating eight houses.

Despite accumulating eight houses, all his silver was spent. When more people approached him, he did not refuse but told them that the transaction could soon be completed, thus temporarily sending them away.

Of course, doing this wasn’t about fooling them, but genuinely needing a turnaround.

Having accumulated eight houses, the priority was to sell a few and regain some funds; otherwise, if he expanded further, it would be unimaginable and impossible.

Obviously, these eight houses were far from his goal. His ambition was not limited to just eight houses; he wanted to hold as many houses in the area as possible, believing that their future value would bring enormous gain.

Although he couldn’t determine exactly when this day would come, he was confident it would be soon.

Recapturing funds was straightforward, which involved selling houses in less desirable locations. Of course, these houses were all renovated by him.
