As soon as Jiang Ye finished sending out the notice, someone jumped out to speak.
Cao County Citizen: Perfect timing! I just got some new stock in, air conditioners, refrigerators, and ice cream machines. Residents with electricity and running water can come and buy! Quantities are very limited!
A notice followed by an advertisement, in this sweltering summer that was making everyone hot, the impact was anything but ordinary.
The group quickly exploded, and the town residents scrambled:
I want an air conditioner! I had heatstroke yesterday!
How much is the air conditioner? How much is the refrigerator?
No matter the price, I want an air conditioner! I've already transferred the utility line fee!
Holy cow, what a surprise! Can we finally use tap water? I want to soak in water every day to escape the heat.
My eyes are tearing up! We don't have to endure the heat anymore? I absolutely have to get an air conditioner! How can we live without air conditioning in the summer?
Jiang Ye's backend was constantly receiving transfer notifications.
Thirty thousand! Thirty thousand! Thirty thousand!
All of them were 30,000 yuan transfers, all from town residents.
He took out his small notebook. The first page of the notebook had the names of everyone in town. Every time a transfer came in, he would put a small dot next to the name.
However, after dotting for a while, he stopped.
Because the account balance had increased by 9 million yuan, reaching 9.57 million yuan!
All 300 people in town had paid the so-called water and electricity pipeline fees!
Jiang Ye was very pleased. He had a sudden idea to collect this fee.
He didn't expect everyone to be so cooperative and pay the money so quickly.
This gave him an idea: perhaps the town's construction didn't have to be funded entirely by him, the mayor?
He opened the chat channel and sent a message to Xu Yan.
Jiang Ye: I have an idea. We'll develop commercial housing in town. Let the townspeople pay for the houses themselves.
Xu Yan: I support it. Many colonies do it this way.
Jiang Ye: I just thought of it, and I don't have a concrete plan yet. Ms. Xu, you have a lot of experience, how should this model be implemented?
Xu Yan: It's very simple. I'll provide you with several standard model house plans. You can announce them for the townspeople to choose from. Private customization is also possible, but the price will be higher. For every ten houses completed, I will send a construction team to build them in town.
Xu Yan: If it's less than ten houses, you'll have to wait, because the cost of the construction team's interstellar travel is very high. If they only build one house, it will be a loss. However, if you build more than fifty houses at once, you can get a 5% discount.
Xu Yan: I will provide you with the construction cost of the houses. Only you and I will know this price. As for the price you announce to the townspeople, that's up to you. Understand?
Jiang Ye: I think it's great!
Jiang Ye's eyes were bright, and he had a cunning smile, with rolling dollar signs in his big eyes.
Originally, building houses in town was a headache for him. After all, compared to building factories, the money earned from building houses and renting them to townspeople was very limited. The first batch of houses in town was still at a loss so far.
Now, by changing the approach and letting the townspeople pay for the construction of houses, not only would he not lose money, but he could also make a profit!
The model house A that Xu Yan quoted was 500,000 yuan. The price he announced to the townspeople could be 600,000, 700,000, or 800,000 yuan, making tens of thousands of yuan!
If he could earn tens of thousands from one town resident, then tens of millions from a hundred town residents!
Jiang Ye suddenly felt the joy of a real estate developer.
He quickly tapped the panel with his fingers and typed a message.
Jiang Ye: Then Ms. Xu, please provide me with some model house plans, and I'll announce them.
Xu Yan: (Image), (Image), (Image)
She sent a series of pictures. These were floor plans for various model houses.
Jiang Ye glanced at the pictures and then began to carefully read the explanatory text attached to them.
Budget Housing Plan: Area 40 square meters, one bedroom, one living room, one bathroom. Construction cost 500,000 yuan.
Small Apartment Plan: Area 55 square meters, one bedroom, one living room, one kitchen, one bathroom. Construction cost 800,000 yuan.
Medium Apartment Plan: Area 95 square meters, one bedroom, two living rooms, one kitchen, one bathroom, one study. Construction cost 1.2 million yuan.
Large Apartment Plan: Area 130 square meters, two bedrooms, two living rooms, one kitchen, one bathroom, one study. Construction cost 1.5 million yuan.
Standard Flat: Area 175 square meters, two bedrooms, two living rooms, one kitchen, two bathrooms, one study, one walk-in closet. Construction cost 2.1 million yuan.
There were also luxury flats, two-story villas, three-story villas, and four-story villas, with prices ranging from five million to ten million yuan.
Jiang Ye thought for a moment and decided to earn 300,000 yuan on each house.
For example, the budget housing with a construction cost of 500,000 yuan would be announced to the townspeople at a price of 800,000 yuan.
This price should be within an acceptable range, not too much, not too little.
He clicked on the pictures sent by Xu Yan, selected multiple, and sent them to the town's group chat.
Then he copied and pasted the text, changed the prices, and pasted them into the group chat as well.
After sending everything, Jiang Ye posted a message in the group:
[Notice]
[This town has reached an agreement with White Ant Real Estate to build houses for everyone.]
[White Ant Real Estate is a military cooperative group in this galaxy, with excellent construction quality and good reputation.]
[Various model house floor plan options have been announced, and the relevant information and prices are as above. Interested parties are welcome to sign up and pay.]
[Installment payments are not supported; full payment is required. Construction will only begin when the total number of houses purchased in the town reaches ten or more.]
After Jiang Ye sent this series of messages, the entire town was in an uproar.
After all, housing is a basic necessity.
Out of the 300 people in the town, 100 lived in very rudimentary conditions, and 200 didn't even have houses, sleeping in their base vehicles every day.
It wouldn't be an exaggeration to call it a town of vagrants.
Now, they could finally buy houses, and there were so many options to choose from!
The group chat was abuzz with discussions, and messages were being refreshed very quickly:
Wow, I'm so tempted, but the prices are so expensive! The cheapest budget housing is 800,000!
It looks like I need to save money. I can afford a budget house now, but budget houses are too small. I need at least a small apartment to live in.
I want to buy a medium apartment. Who should I pay? The mayor, right?
Are you showing off your wealth upstairs? Spending 1.5 million yuan on a house in one go, what kind of family are you?
The most expensive ones are tens of millions, my god, can I afford it in ten years?
Save money, save money, I'm going straight for a flat! I just like big houses!
Holy cow, are you all that rich? Are you all buying houses with full payment?
Jiang Ye watched the group chat with great interest for a while.
Private messages also started appearing in his backend.
The first private message was from the police officer Shizhi Zhizi.
Shizhi Zhizi: Mayor Jiang, I want a four-story villa, the one that costs ten million.
Jiang Ye was surprised. As expected, rich girls make different moves!
Buying a villa with full payment right off the bat!
Jiang Ye: Okay, you pay first, and when there are ten houses in town, construction can begin.
Shizhi Zhizi: Thank you, Mayor. You've worked hard. The money has already been transferred.
Jiang Ye checked his account balance, and indeed, there was a transfer record from Shizhi Zhizi, exactly ten million yuan.
