Chapter 27

Lin Yi spent exactly one hundred million to buy the mall.

The original owner was a CEO of a company that was desperately in need of cash flow. If he had waited any longer, his company would have gone bankrupt. Therefore, when he heard that Lin Yi was willing to buy the mall, he was immensely grateful and quickly completed all the necessary procedures.

The mall was not located in the city center; its location was somewhat remote.

As a result, the mall wasn't very bustling or prosperous earlier, with a low occupancy rate among merchants, making it appear somewhat desolate, as if it were about to go out of business at any moment.

However, after Lin Yi bought it, the situation took a complete 180-degree turn.

A heavily trafficked subway line was being extended, and it just happened to pass by the mall, with plans to set up an entrance nearby.

This made transportation much more convenient.

Several large companies moved into the office building across from the mall, and many residents also moved into the nearby residential buildings.

The foot traffic surged instantly.

With increased foot traffic, the mall became vibrant, and major merchants vied to move in, all hoping to get a piece of the pie.

In other words, within a short time after Lin Yi bought the mall, its value increased several times over.

After learning this, Lin Yi raised an eyebrow.

It seemed he had made the right bet!

Investing always carries some risk, but if someone has a high investment talent, they can significantly reduce that risk.

On that day, Lin Yi drove around for a bit, observing the area around the mall to see if it was worth investing in.

He ultimately decided to give it a try, and unexpectedly, it succeeded.

Lin Yi lounged on the sofa, thinking about how he would not only receive pocket money from Huo Jihan every month but also earn income from the mall. It was truly delightful to think about!

At that moment, Huo Jihan came down the stairs, dressed in a neat black suit, looking ready to leave.

Lin Yi turned his head and met Huo Jihan's gaze, asking casually, "Mr. Huo, are you going to work?"

Today is Saturday!

Huo Jihan nodded, "I have something to take care of."

After saying that, he noticed the smile in Lin Yi's eyes and asked, "Why?"

Lin Yi immediately shared the story about his mall.

Huo Jihan responded solemnly, "Congratulations."

Lin Yi smiled even brighter, "It's all thanks to the one hundred million you gave me."

His success in buying the mall relied on acting quickly.

If others had discovered the opportunity later, they might have missed it.

Lin Yi could act first because of the one hundred million Huo Jihan directly gave him.

Others might want to buy it, but they wouldn't be able to come up with that much cash all at once.

Thinking about this, Lin Yi thanked Huo Jihan again, "Thanks a lot."

Huo Jihan replied in a deep voice, "No need, it's your keen eye."
