From a long-term perspective, building houses is more cost-effective than renting.

If fellow disciples from the same sect trickled in one after another, the current courtyard would not be able to accommodate all of them, even if all the small yards around were rented. Building houses has become an extremely cost-effective option.

With just some expenses on construction materials, the labor costs can be minimized.

To open a school, some formal buildings are necessary. When parents come to visit and cannot even find an office space, they would surely think this is an unreliable cram school.

Therefore, building a school is a must.

Shen Feixian was a very capable executive. He signed the land lease contract with Song Jixing the next day. With Song Jixing's identity as a college student, there were also some preferential policies supporting his entrepreneurship, saving quite a lot of money.

Located in the suburbs, the steel factory had a short-lived glory in the last century. As times changed, the workers and their families living here gradually moved away, and the place became desolate.

Within a few kilometers of this area, there were no supermarkets or vegetable sellers, only occasional farmers carrying poles to sell their produce.

Fortunately, there was a subway station a few kilometers away, with some bus stops around it. In addition, the nearby old-fashioned tube buildings were cheap, so some migrant workers lived here to save money.

The migrant workers went to work during the day and slowly returned home after the evening rush hour. Some farmers lived a little further away, but the surrounding land was state-owned, so they could not farm it at will and thus would not gather here.

This land was not only cheap but also very quiet. It would be easy to build houses here without being discovered. It was simply the most suitable place.

Song Jixing drove Shen Feixian back in the company car and saw truckload after truckload of building materials being unloaded, with outer disciples busy working.

Song Jixing rolled down the car window and glanced at Shen Feixian in the passenger seat, sighing: "So fast?"

Shen Feixian was also looking at those trucks.

"Yes, it has to be fast! These are the cheapest sources I could find online! The prices of building materials have been fluctuating wildly recently. Many materials have fallen, so I bought them all at the right time. Otherwise, when the prices rise again, it would be too late."

"Senior brother, are you trading stocks?" Song Jixing suddenly asked.

Upon hearing this, Shen Feixian turned his head, "Junior sister, why do you ask that?"

Song Jixing said, "Senior brother, how did you know these building materials hit rock bottom?"

What Song Jixing knew was that ever since Shen Feixian crossed over, he had been fiddling with things on the Internet and seemed to have made quite a lot of money.

Her ID and various certificates were with Shen Feixian. It was easy for him to open an account on her behalf.

So Song Jixing suspected that her senior brother went to trade those materials, manipulated the stock prices of relevant companies downward, bringing down material prices as well.

Shen Feixian shook his head. "No, that's not the case. But I do know something about the stock market. Recently I've been collecting data. Some of the data collected is quite interesting, so I released it. As for the falling material prices, that was inevitable..."
