[It was 13,000 yuan just now, but now it's 16,000! It started to rise right after the Jude Wang's hot - search news came out!]
[??? Are you showing your love for the brand to such an extent? Just because Jude Wang did something good, you're rewarding the rising housing prices in Haicheng?]
[Do you really want to boost Haicheng? But with the housing prices rising so high, can others still afford to buy?]
A local from Haicheng chimed in, [It's okay, it's okay. We got that one - million - yuan bonus from Miss Zhu back then.]
[Damn it! I forgot about that!]
[Most of us in Haicheng already own our own houses. When the housing prices go up, we benefit too. Moreover, a lot of us work for Jude Wang, and the salaries are decent. The rural areas and towns are being rebuilt now, and the development is all - around. The housing prices in Haicheng don't just represent the price of the houses. They also represent the city's influence and the increase in Haicheng's value. In the future, it can attract more investors to come and develop here. This is an opportunity for Haicheng!]
The rising housing prices are a double - edged sword, with both advantages and disadvantages. But for the market, it's a real shot in the arm. This is true for any market. People need to see the value before they invest. There are very few like Zhu Ning, who creates value when there seems to be none.
Netizens actually don't have much negative sentiment towards this. Most of them even hope that Haicheng can take off and develop. It's an opportunity for everyone, so they generally have good wishes for Haicheng.
However, there was a strange and harsh voice on the Internet pouring cold water on the situation.
[It's just another case of price - hiking out of passion. It's all a mess! How long can this high housing price last? In a couple of days, it'll drop back to 4,000 yuan. I advise those who own houses to sell them quickly. Don't regret it when it turns into a bubble!]
[The real - estate market has been going downhill year by year. Buying now and refusing to sell, hehe, don't think about jumping off a building later.]
[All this online hype is just for real - estate speculation, right? The western suburb real - estate project is about to open. I bet the opening price will be 20,000 yuan. No, I'll be generous and bet 30,000 yuan! After all, this price is probably a lifetime's worth in Haicheng. No matter how much it develops, it's just a lousy city. And China is just a developing country! Some people will never see the light of day!]
In a certain residential area in Haicheng, Xixi, a junior high school student who had just returned home from school, was so angry after seeing this message that her face instantly flushed. Her chest heaved violently. She flipped open the sender's profile and saw the constantly changing IP address, which made her even angrier.
"These people aren't even from China! They're just trying to stir up trouble!"
She immediately started typing to fight back, but the next second, a pop - up news alert appeared on her phone: The listing price of Jude Wang's western suburb real - estate project is 40,000 yuan per square meter!
"Are they crazy!"
All over the country, enterprise brands that didn't get selected for the Jude Wang Supermarket were shocked by this hot - search news.
40,000 yuan?
The selling price of Jude Wang's new real - estate project is actually 40,000 yuan per square meter?
Are they joking?
"Are they serious? Is this correct?"
"It's been verified. It's 40,000 yuan per square meter. There's no mistake!"
"Crazy. They must be crazy. The most high - end property in Haicheng, Jinting Yufu, was only 80,000 yuan per square meter when it first went on sale. Then it was gradually hyped up to 100,000 yuan, and later to 300,000 yuan. But that was only because there was a shortage of houses and the real - estate company could create an IP. What makes Jude Wang's western suburb new city project so special?"
Without any promotion or marketing, it directly jumped to the 40,000 - yuan level, almost approaching that of Beijing, Shanghai, and Guangzhou. Does Zhu Ning really have such great ambition that she wants to compete with the super - first - tier cities in China?
"I originally thought 30,000 yuan was the limit. I didn't expect her to be so greedy. She's asking for 40,000 yuan right away? Who's going to buy at this price? Setting the price so high will surely lead to huge losses! It seems that not getting into the supermarket last time was actually a blessing in disguise!"
Overseas.
"The target is making another move. 'The real - estate project is priced at 40,000 yuan per square meter?' Are they crazy! This kind of housing price is only suitable for first - tier cities. How dare a small place like Haicheng ask for such a price? Our superiors told us to keep an eye on Jude Wang and find a chance to take them down. I think, judging from their current situation, they'll self - destruct!"
"I checked before. Zhu Ning's investment in the western suburb project has far exceeded 200 billion yuan! Setting the price so high... Maybe she's just afraid of losing money. But it won't help. The western suburb project is bound to lose money. No one will buy at this price!"
"It's a pity that our branches in China have been severely damaged. Otherwise, we could definitely mess up this project and gain great merit. Damn Jude Wang. Let's start an online campaign and give them a 'warm welcome' for the opening!"
Through the Internet, a flood of negative comments that didn't believe in Jude Wang and belittled the company came pouring in.
"40,000 yuan per square meter? Are you crazy about making money? All this is just to hype up your new city, right? You claim to be a national enterprise. Why don't you just give the houses away for free?"
"Now I know why Jude Wang pays high salaries. It's all coming from the employees in the end. You work for Jude Wang for a lifetime and then struggle for it for another lifetime. No wonder the flowers are so colorful. It's all because of the fertilizer!"
[Are you crazy! The 40,000 - yuan - per - square - meter housing price of Jude Wang is nothing compared to their total investment. You're just deliberately trying to cause trouble!]
[They're not from China! They're all paid trolls from overseas trying to sow discord. Don't believe them! They're just trying to split us up. Don't fall into their trap!]
Netizens were calling out to each other, but the hot - search kept topping the list. Headlines shouting that Jude Wang was making money at people's expense kept bombarding the public. Many media outlets emerged, but Chi Yannian and Xu Liunian remained calm. "This kind of trend is not enough to shake Ningbao's foundation. Keep a close eye and see who's who and who's a ghost!"
Online, the situation seemed to be changing dramatically. Offline, the platforms that had entered into cooperation with Jude Wang were also extremely worried.
"40,000 yuan per square meter? Why, why is the price so high? Can they sell it? What if Miss Zhu incurs heavy losses?"
"She's invested nearly 250 billion yuan in the western suburb project. If she suffers heavy losses because of the pricing this time, it will be really, really..."
"Calm down, everyone. Have you ever seen Miss Zhu suffer a loss or fail? Since she dares to set this price, she must have the confidence to make it back. Just trust Miss Zhu!"
"I don't care about others, but my family was on the verge of bankruptcy and was only saved because of Miss Zhu from Jude Wang. We'll never back out at this critical moment!"
"Same here! We owe our rebirth to Miss Zhu from Jude Wang. We'll never turn against her halfway. We should repay kindness and firmly support her!"
"Yes! Repay kindness and firmly support!"
