Xue Yan and Feng Zhi Shuang arrived at Har Star simultaneously to see Jiang Ye.
The last time Xue Yan wore a bright red outfit, Jiang Ye had criticized her. This time, both wore black, black trousers and black jackets, like ancient night wanderers.
Jiang Ye received them in his office within the "Nest." As they were old colleagues, there was no excessive pleasantry. He poured two cups of tea and placed them on the coffee table.
"You've come specifically to see me about the Har Star immigration matter?" Jiang Ye asked, sitting opposite them.
"Yes, to be precise, it's about the urban planning for Har Star immigration," Feng Zhi Shuang nodded.
Xue Yan took out her phone, tapped a few times, and handed it to Jiang Ye.
Jiang Ye took it and saw the housing orders for Har Star immigrants, which were refreshing at an astonishing speed.
"To accommodate more Har Star immigrants as quickly as possible," Xue Yan explained, "our Xue Yan Real Estate Company quickly developed a powerful online app. Har Star citizens can choose their desired immigration region on the app, be it a city or wasteland. Sea cities are not supported for now."
"After selecting a region, they can choose a house location. For house styles, they can pick from existing model homes in the database or input their own requirements for AI customization."
"If it's a group purchase for an entire building, Har Star citizens can share a link with friends and family to buy houses in a building together, with discounts," Xue Yan said, her tone carrying a hint of pride.
"That's excellent, it's like customizing housing for all Har Star residents," Jiang Ye nodded. "Is the progress smooth so far?"
"It's smooth, perhaps too smooth," Xue Yan said. "Currently, the app allows anyone to register. As long as they are Har Star people, they can register, and then problems arise."
"The current registration has exceeded fifteen billion, and it's still increasing by one billion per day, soon to surpass our immigration limit," Feng Zhi Shuang added. "Many Har Star citizens, for reasons unknown, are desperately registering, even though according to the plan, they are not supposed to be coming to Har Star."
"The most troublesome part," Xue Yan continued, "is that after registering, these people are rushing to place orders. We already have 300 million housing units fully paid for, and another 600 million with down payments. What's truly terrifying is that the housing designs currently being modified and created by registered users using the app's design function already number 2 billion sets, with 3 billion houses added to the shopping cart. Some individual users are ordering over thirty units at once."
Jiang Ye was dumbfounded.
But then he understood. Har Star had a high per capita income, with wealth widespread after many years of stability.
Now, with immigration to a new planet, housing was a crucial commodity for security, so naturally, people were buying and buying.
Most importantly, housing prices on Jiang Ye Star were only one-tenth of those on Har Star.
"The current issues are..." Feng Zhi Shuang began, "First, Xue Yan's company is under immense pressure. So many houses cannot be built in a short period. The CEOs of major real estate companies, construction team leaders, and material suppliers are all in a frenzy."
Jiang Ye nodded with a serious expression, offering no immediate comment.
"Second, building and selling so many houses in a short time will have a significant impact on the economies of both Jiang Ye Star and Bi Rong Star. Rapid expansion can lead to economic ailments, much like rapid weight gain can cause stretch marks on skin that hasn't grown quickly enough."
"Third, we must prioritize ensuring that every Har Star citizen has a place to live upon arrival at Jiang Ye Star and Bi Rong Star," Feng Zhi Shuang stated. "The current data is quite chaotic, making it difficult for construction companies to determine which projects to start first."
"How is it chaotic?" Jiang Ye frowned.
"Some people buy an entire building at once, acting as agents for friends and family. Others buy a whole building for investment purposes. If we build these entire buildings first, it might lead to wasted time because only one family might end up living in it. If we don't build them, it could result in many people having nowhere to stay," Xue Yan explained. "There are also accounts that have purchased properties in multiple locations, banks and consortiums buying entire communities under collective names, and two people buying together. Families buying multiple units, but with children and parents in relationships that can be either separate or together, such as young couples about to marry."
"These are manageable. We can set a priority option for each account, allowing them to make their own choices," Feng Zhi Shuang said. "The most outrageous is the fake purchases."
"Fake purchases?" Jiang Ye raised an eyebrow.
"Some accounts purchase a large volume of houses, creating a massive project. Then, when construction teams are ready to begin, these accounts initiate mass refunds," Xue Yan elaborated. "We've identified several possibilities. First, these individuals deliberately inflate the project scale to ensure their houses are built earliest, as construction teams prioritize larger urban areas before smaller ones."
Jiang Ye rubbed his head, a headache beginning to form.
"Second, some people aim to be resellers. They take out loans to buy an entire building or even a community, then start marketing it to others. If they can't sell it, they cancel the purchase and get refunds."
"Third, it could be deliberate sabotage by competitor companies, aiming to disrupt the real estate markets of Jiang Ye Star and Bi Rong Star and cause us trouble."
"Fourth, it could simply be individuals changing their minds. For instance, some immigrants, unaware of the situation, hastily bought houses. Once they feel settled and learn more about Jiang Ye Star, they might want to buy elsewhere or reduce their purchases."
Jiang Ye's head throbbed. He nodded, continuing to listen.
Xue Yan spoke animatedly for over half an hour, listing hundreds of current issues in the real estate market.
After hearing everything, Jiang Ye pondered for a moment. "If we verify the real-name information, asset information, and unique priority purchase intent for each account, and confirm that refunds are not allowed after construction begins for non-construction-related reasons, would these problems be resolved?"
"Yes," Xue Yan and Feng Zhi Shuang exchanged glances.
"Then why aren't we doing that?" Jiang Ye asked.
"It requires amending the current relevant laws of Jiang Ye Star and Bi Rong Star," Xue Yan replied. "We don't have that authority; only you do."
"I understand," Jiang Ye nodded. "I will have my subordinates draft a temporary bill, valid for one year."
Both Xue Yan and Feng Zhi Shuang smiled.
"Besides this matter," Xue Yan continued, "we also want to invite you to attend the ribbon-cutting ceremony for the desert town area."
"Oh?" Jiang Ye raised an eyebrow. "Why?"
"This is a representative project for Har Star immigrants who ordered properties. It's also Xue Yan Real Estate Company's first large-scale project to be delivered, and the first city in Xue Yan Real Estate Company's ambition to expand across the universe," Xue Yan explained.
"It also marks the beginning of the Har Star immigration project and the start of large-scale greening construction on Jiang Ye Star," Feng Zhi Shuang added in agreement.
"Show me the detailed information," Jiang Ye nodded.
