At first, I disagreed. Although having a fixed place to stay while attending school is a good thing, what about after graduation? At that time, I would be traveling all over the place and would still have to come back here to stay for a few days. Wouldn't that just tie me down? However, I couldn't resist Boss Yin's persuasion. He mentioned that at the very least, I should stay a few days each month before I graduate. After graduation, if I move to another city, visiting two or three times a year would suffice.
With that said, what more could I argue? If it's given, then I'll take it. Having an extra apartment isn't exactly a loss.
Some might think that Boss Yin is out of his mind. He just gave an extra hundred thousand and now he's gifting me a house—does he have money to burn? If you really think that way, it can only be said that you lack social experience or simply aren't cut out to be a shrewd businessman.
What kind of house is this from Boss Yin?
A haunted house!
Although he instructed the homeowner's family not to spread the word and even paid the workers for their silence, is there anything in this world that can be kept completely secret? Especially with such an intriguing and bizarre incident; unless the authorities intervene, it’s impossible for it not to circulate. Therefore, it wouldn't be easy for Boss Yin to sell this house; no one wants to buy a haunted property as their new home.
Of course, he could find an unsuspecting buyer who doesn't know about this issue, but there had already been legal cases involving haunted houses that year. The court ruled that if someone unknowingly bought such a property, the homeowner had the right to request a refund.
Since the house was hard to sell, Boss Yin might as well just transfer it to me. With this house in my possession, I wouldn't have anywhere else to run off to; whether I had business or not, I'd have to come and stay occasionally. This way, the cursed land below would have someone watching over it—an expert at no cost. Additionally, if he encounters similar issues in the future, he wouldn't need to trouble anyone else; he could easily find someone skilled to help resolve any problems.
Although he lost a house, it was a win-win situation—why not take advantage of it?
Moreover, this also explains why Boss Yin was so shocked by this matter. He never expected that after all our discussions about the cursed spirit, it would ultimately come back to haunt him. Once he stepped out and then back in again, he was no longer himself.
Having walked through the gates of hell, many things become easier to understand. In such an emotional state, it's not surprising that Boss Yin made some impulsive decisions.
In short, from the account perspective, Boss Yin suffered a huge loss while I made a significant profit. However, when I really think about it, I feel like I'm the one who lost out. Not only did my personal belongings get damaged, but I also had to watch over the Cursed Land for free. What kind of situation is this?
Afterward, Boss Yin brought the money and paid the remaining amount. Since he was so straightforward about it, I also gave him the Male Ghost. As for the fifteen thousand I mentioned earlier, let's just consider it a joke. If it were Second Uncle, he might have charged double the price for the Male Ghost.
Ajan Dong also took a look at Boss Yin's Extreme Yin Gu Man. When he received the little ghost, Ajan Dong examined it carefully and then shook his head as he handed it back, saying, "No need to look any further; its spirit has completely dissipated."
Boss Yin gasped in surprise, took it back to examine for a while, and then sighed deeply. Half of his sigh was due to the loss of money, and half was out of sentiment.
This incident proves what has been said before: whether it's Authentic or a shadow brand, they are essentially the same. As long as you don't get greedy, they will only bring you benefits. Without this Extreme Yin Gu Man, Boss Yin would have been dead long ago; there wouldn't be any subsequent events. At that time, his wife would be sleeping with someone else, others would be living in his house, spending his money, and his children would be bullied by others—he would be furious underground.
After resolving this matter, in light of our good cooperative relationship, I advised Boss Yin not to sell his house for the time being. The global situation is currently poor; anything sold would fetch a rock-bottom price. It would be better to endure this period of pressure and wait for the Financial Crisis to pass; perhaps he could turn things around.
This suggestion actually came from Second Uncle, who proposed it to clients in Hong Kong, Macau, and Taiwan. After Second Uncle had dealt with properties ahead of time, those clients gradually realized that the situation was far more severe than they had imagined. However, by the time they decided to follow suit and handle their properties, prices had already plummeted. Therefore, after careful consideration and drawing on examples from several economic crises in Europe and America, Second Uncle provided those clients with very valuable advice.
It turned out that Second Uncle had a long-term vision that was very accurate. However, most people did not heed his advice; they feared that a complete collapse might occur and that they wouldn't be able to sell at all when the time came. So one by one, they sold their properties at extremely low prices and then sought refuge in mainland China.
At that time, Second Uncle and another uncle discussed with Grandpa for a long time before deciding to use one-third of their savings to buy those clients' properties. Some locations were simply too good; under normal circumstances, they would be worth their weight in gold. They couldn't resist such temptation but were cautious enough not to spend all their money.
In this back-and-forth transaction over the years, both uncles ended up making a fortune. Especially Second Uncle, who was even more adventurous than the other uncle and almost invested all his savings into these properties.
By the end of 2008, when housing prices hit rock bottom, Second Uncle was feeling downcast because the value of his properties was several percentage points lower than when he bought them. During that time, he often lamented that he had bought at half-mountain height while thinking he was getting in at a great opportunity!
However, after a few years passed, he walked around with his nose in the air. When he casually boasted to me about how visionary he was and how much money he was making daily like clockwork! I couldn't help but laugh inwardly and thought about how he was nearly ready to dump his property rights certificate during his low point!
No matter what, making money is always good.
However, Boss Yin did not heed my advice. In the beginning, he indeed held back; no matter who came to collect debts, he would only say one thing: "No money, just a life." He had everything but lacked nothing in terms of property. If you have the ability, move out; if not, get lost. We do not welcome debt collectors!
In this society, those who owe money are the ones in power. The creditors have no good options either; they can sue in court, and the judge may rule that Boss Yin should pay, but if he has no money, what can you do? Can you really take his house? Sure, but who would buy it? Housing prices are plummeting; anyone with a bit of investment insight wouldn't buy those properties.
However, at the end of the year, Boss Yin could no longer hold back because housing prices were too low. During that cold winter, he sold the entire development at a low price to another developer. Later, one year when I went to that property to collect some things, I happened to run into him. He was standing at the entrance of the community in an old Accord, staring blankly.
When we talked about the past, he sighed and couldn't help but slap himself a few times, lamenting how he couldn't hold out any longer. After holding on for more than half a year, he still ended up being foolish. If he had waited a few more years, he could have traded the Accord for a private jet!
But nothing in this world can be redone; at least not this matter.
During the summer before my senior year, while the whole world was busy, I seemed to have more free time. Second Uncle was also a bit worried because the financial crisis was truly terrifying, causing most clients to lose their optimistic outlook. A few months earlier, some had tried to rely on amulets to get through tough times, but now no belief seemed effective. Some major clients even jumped from high buildings due to bankruptcy.
The storm in finance also affected other aspects of society, including the entertainment industry.
A few days before summer vacation started, I saw Miss Ming on the news after not having contacted her for a long time. She was in the news not because she had released a new film or participated in a variety show but due to pure gossip. Reports claimed that Miss Ming had serious violent tendencies; paparazzi discovered her rumored boyfriend fleeing her residence in panic during noon and captured images showing bruises on his face.
This rumored boyfriend later claimed that Miss Ming had a mental illness and inexplicably attacked him. Out of respect for protecting women, he did not retaliate and showed great composure!
Another reporter went to interview Miss Ming, and in the video, this once low-profile superstar who had returned from hiatus impatiently swatted away the camera and quickly turned aggressive, kicking and punching to drive people away after saying just a few words.
