Chapter 117

Time passed quickly, and in the blink of an eye, it was 1980. The tide of reform and opening up had risen, and it was making quite a splash. Zhou Junfeng was considering how to slowly acquire the entire Courtyard. Whenever he was free, he would chat with the residents, intentionally or otherwise asking if they would be interested in moving into modern apartment buildings. Several residents indicated that if the authorities were willing to allocate apartments, they would be happy to move out; in the eyes of the residents, a modern apartment was far more prestigious than a traditional Courtyard. People in this era did not yet know how valuable the Courtyards in the center of Sijiu City would become in the future. No one could have imagined that this small compound would one day be worth a fortune. Zhou Junfeng planned that once property transactions were opened up, he would pull some strings to buy several apartments and then trade them with the residents of the Courtyard. After all, he had plenty of money; that three-hundred-million-yuan lottery prize was still there. He intended to acquire not only the 95th Courtyard but also the surrounding ones.
