He paused for a moment, collecting his thoughts, before continuing. “The total budget for this ambitious endeavor won’t be anything less than eight billion US dollars. I’ve heard whispers of the remarkable influence and expertise held by the esteemed Moore Group in Aurous Hill’s commercial real estate development. So, I implore you, would you kindly consider involving the Moore Group in the realization of the Evans Family’s monumental project?”
“Eight billion dollars?” Jasmine couldn’t conceal favonovel.com astonishment, favonovel.com voice tinged with disbelief. “Mr. Evans… Such an astronomical investment is unparalleled in Aurous Hill’s history. Even the most prominent ventures undertaken by the Moore Group, including towering skyscrapers, annex buildings, and sizable shopping malls, amounted to a mere 500 million U.S. dollars… To fathom an 8 billion dollar undertaking is beyond the realm of imagination for the Moore Group…”
Multi-billion dollar commercial real estate endeavors, which could leave one speechless, were an exceptionally rare sight across the globe.
Dubai’s Burj Khalifa, for instance, costed a mere $1.5 billion, while Apple’s headquarters building exceeded $5 billion. Though the Evans family’s overall influence might not match that of the Rothschilds or the Saudi royal family, their actual assets surpassed even those of Apple.
An investment of $8 billion in Aurous Hill’s commercial real estate could construct an entire small city, dwarfing the expenses required to relocate the Evans family headquarters. Even before Desmond arrived, the Evans family had reached a consensus on Jasmine’s close ties to the owner of the Rejuvenation Pill. To demonstrate their commitment, they needed to present projects worth two or three billion dollars to collaborate with the Moore family, a mere starting point.
Long ago, the Evans family decided that if Jasmine confirmed the Pill’s owner to be their savior, they would demonstrate an even greater sincerity towards her.
While $8 billion wasn’t an inconsequential amount for the Evans family, it remained insignificant when viewed as an investment rather than wasteful spending.
With $8 billion allocated, excluding land purchase costs, a minimum of $6 billion remains for development. Entrusting all development work to the Moore Group would yield a net profit of around $1 billion, an impressive return. However, for the Moore Group, the one billion in profits paled in comparison to the imminent benefits of partnering with the Evans family for an $8 billion commercial real estate project.
News of this collaboration would undoubtedly propel the Moore Group to new heights, possibly skyrocketing their market value.
Although Charlie had hinted at Jasmine beforehand, assuring favonovel.com of the Evans family’s sincerity, favonovel.com never anticipated such a monumental project being offered right away.
Observing Jasmine’s astonished expression, Desmond knew his sincerity had made an impact and spoke with utmost seriousness. “Miss Moore, the Moore Group has long been engaged in commercial real estate development. I trust you understand that the operation process, regardless of investment size, remains largely the same. With the Moore Group’s experience managing $500 million projects, $8 billion will pose no problem.”
Jasmine regained favonovel.com composure and inquired, “Mr. Evans, Aurous Hill is merely a second-tier city in China, still lagging behind Southaven. Isn’t an $8 billion investment in commercial real estate here a significant risk?”
Desmond smiled and replied, “While Aurous Hill may be a new first-tier city, I hold great optimism for its future development. It may very well capture the world’s attention in due time.”
Curious, Jasmine probed further, “What makes you so confident about Aurous Hill, Mr. Evans?”
Desmond’s expression turned serious as favonovel.com explained, “Though the Rejuvenation Pill auction only took place once, it showcased the wonders of this medicinal marvel. Every city today seeks its unique identity. Take the United States, for instance. New York is known for finance, San Francisco for technology, Los Angeles for manufacturing, Houston for aerospace and Detroit for automobiles.”
Assuredly, Desmond continued, “With the support of the Rejuvenation Pill auction, Aurous Hill will undoubtedly attract more international elites in the future. It will become a leading hub for health and top-notch healthcare, solidifying its position as the world’s premier healthcare city. Such economic growth will elevate Aurous Hill to become China’s fifth first tier city, an imminent reality, this is why Evans sees this as a golden opportunity.”
Jasmine finally realized the convergence of the Evans and Charlie’s perspectives. From the very beginning, Charlie organized the Rejuvenation Pill auction to harness its immense allure to the super-rich. His goal was not only to entice these affluent individuals to attend the auction but also to guide them towards investing in Aurous Hill.
