Chapter 35 - 35: 35 Saving Lives is a Great Virtue
“The moment I saw this beauty, I fell for her. I’ve been pursuing her for a long time without success, and I recognized her voice right away,”
“Buddy, you’re bragging too much about finding such an amazing accountant for your acting career,”
Yigol Novak helplessly: “Fine, you’ve seen through me. But it’s also true that I’m a deliveryman. It’s just one of my jobs. I own some properties and have been renting them out.”
The man said with great certainty, “No way. You wouldn’t be able to afford someone like her just by casually renting out a few properties. And I just heard your rental income is over a hundred million dollars, which means you have quite a few large properties.”
Yigol Novak laughed but didn’t say anything. This man seemed to have a clever mind.
However, Yigol Novak had no interest in showing off at all.
How others perceived him didn’t matter one bit to him.
He was too lazy to engage in conversation. If the man had any sense, he wouldn’t keep talking.
Unexpectedly, the man fell silent and suddenly spoke again.
“Dude, are you Yigol Novak?”
“You know me?” Yigol Novak was quite surprised. He had no impression of this man, and yet the man called out his name?
The man looked shocked and stood up, came before Yigol Novak, and respectfully reached out his hand, “Oh, what a coincidence, Mr. Novak. I didn’t expect to meet you here.”
Yigol Novak felt a bit helpless at this display and found it hard to watch. But he couldn’t exactly ignore the man with a straight face when the man was being friendly.
Yigol Novak also reached out his hand: “Hello, I’m sorry, but I…”
“Mr. Novak, it’s normal that you don’t know me. We haven’t met, but I know you.”
“Let me introduce myself. My name is Jerome Kagan. I’m from Seaside Estate.
Four years ago, you bought several properties that my family had just built. You’re a lifesaver to our family.”
“For you, buying properties may be to meet your own needs, but for my family, it’s really a lifesaving grace,” Jerome Kagan said, bowing several times to Yigol Novak.
Yigol Novak carefully searched his memory and quickly recalled the scene of buying properties years ago. Indeed, he had bought properties from Seaside Estate in a residential area.
As he remembered, that residential area was on the verge of being a loss for the developer at the time.
It was school district housing, so logically, there should have been no problem selling it. But things happened, and the developer had invested a lot of money in it. If it couldn’t be sold, the consequences would have been terrible.
If the properties had been held by the developer and the money had been their own, they could slowly leverage them. But how many real estate developers use their own money?
Most of it came from banks, and if they couldn’t sell the properties, they couldn’t repay the bank loans.
Once funds became an issue and couldn’t be resolved in time, bankruptcy would be the only outcome.
For various reasons, the value of that residential area had been unstable at the time. Some people thought it was not worth buying, while others thought it was worth buying.
There were so many opinions that many people were afraid to make a decision.
Bank loans couldn’t wait for people to make up their minds.
Because of this, when Yigol Novak bought those properties, he didn’t pay much. Normally, those buildings would have cost at least 1 billion dollars, but due to the unstable value, Yigol Novak bought them at half price.
Yigol Novak had gotten quite a bargain.
“Err, there’s no need for this. I’m just an ordinary person,” Yigol Novak said indifferently, acknowledging that he had indeed bought properties from Jerome Kagan’s family.
And why Jerome Kagan was so respectful towards Yigol Novak – apart from the fact that Yigol Novak had helped his family immensely – was because Yigol Novak was truly generous.
How many people could immediately come up with such a large sum of cash to buy properties?
Some even had sufficient assets but still owed more money than they had, resulting in a negative net worth.
Being able to come up with so much money to buy properties from Jerome Kagan’s family, and as an individual buyer at that, could only mean one thing— Yigol Novak was incredibly wealthy.
So, once Jerome Kagan knew Yigol Novak’s identity, he immediately lowered his posture.
Jerome Kagan, a rich family’s son from Seaside Estate, understood how formidable Yigol Novak was once he knew his identity.
Yigol Novak didn’t seem very old, but he had much more wealth than the Kagan family could ever hope to achieve.
Jerome Kagan thought of the foolish things he had done earlier. Wasn’t it better to lower his posture and show good manners?
Yigol Novak suddenly thought of a question and asked Jerome Kagan, “Your Seaside Estate is in real estate, so you should have your own construction team, right?”
“Don’t worry, I’m just curious and asking.”
Jerome Kagan hurriedly replied, “Of course, we must have one. Mr. Novak, you bought properties from our Seaside Estate, so you must have carefully inspected them. You can rest assured about the quality of our properties.”
While Yigol Novak knew that Jerome Kagan’s words were somewhat exaggerated, he still gave an approving nod.
He didn’t trust Seaside Estate, but he trusted the arrangements made by the System.bender
So, that being the case, he could trust Seaside Estate.
If not, there were plenty of properties in the world. The System wouldn’t single out Seaside Estate.
Recently, Yigol Novak discovered a fact: whatever the System arranged was always the best.
This proved that Seaside Estate was definitely reliable in the real estate field.
“Mr. Novak, is there anything you need?” Jerome Kagan asked.
Yigol Novak said, “I want to build a villa for my wedding.”
“Ah?” Jerome Kagan was a little disappointed. It was natural for them to build a villa, but how big could a wedding villa be?
Their family properties were all valued at over ten billion dollars.
This just wasn’t grand enough.
Just as Jerome Kagan was feeling disappointed, Yigol Novak spoke again, “If I hadn’t met you, I wouldn’t have considered it. In my ideal wedding house, I want a resort-like villa, with a budget of over ten billion dollars.”
Yigol Novak didn’t have a clear concept of money, but he knew that building a wedding house worth over ten billion dollars wasn’t easy..
