Chapter 22: What It Used To Be
Chapter 22: What It Used To Be
At Zhou Yun's house, another group of clients finished viewing the property and pulled Chen Yuanzhou aside to the courtyard.
This is a middle-aged couple; the husband's name is Ye Xiuxue, and the wife's name is Fan Wenli.
Seemingly unsure how to broach the subject, Ye Xiu first teased, "Xiao Chen, what you wrote in your post... was it based on the landlord's real experience?"
"Of course not!" Chen Yuanzhou chuckled and blurted out, "The landlord is a rich second-generation heir who's tired of living in Jiangcheng and is planning to sell the house and move to Sanya. I wrote that just to grab attention. You've seen the house yourself; if the rich kid didn't care about money, how could it be selling for that price?"
"I understand, I understand." Ye Xiu thought about it and realized it made sense. If she were truly a mistress after money, she would definitely ask for an exorbitant price.
After listening, Fan Wenli asked, "Xiao Chen, we really like this house, and it meets our needs, but can the landlord lower the price of 300 million a little more?"
"If it's 260 million, we can sign the contract immediately!"
Chen Yuanzhou was secretly astonished, thinking to himself that this couple was really ruthless. On a unit price that was already less than 1, they immediately offered to cut the price to 40.
Unfortunately, they couldn't get their way today, because a client had already offered 270 million, but he turned them away.
Moreover, he recalled the private message Ye Xiuxue sent him. It was clearly within 500 million yuan, but after looking at the total price of the house, he cut it in half.
Isn't this just messing with myself?
"Gentlemen~" Chen Yuanzhou feigned reluctance: "The price of 300 million is non-negotiable, and it must be a one-time payment. You know the price of Qinchun Garden; 300 million is not expensive to begin with."
"You guys cut the price by 40 yuan right off! I don't even dare tell the landlord, I'll get yelled at!"
Fan Wenli frowned: "You haven't even asked, how do you know it won't work? Besides, it's a commercial loan, it's very fast, only a few days slower than a lump sum payment."
Chen Yuanzhou could only sigh at such customers; not only were their payment terms poor, but they were also obsessed with finding a bargain.
However, he also understands that this is actually the state of most customers, after all, money is earned through hard work day and night, so of course they will haggle over every penny.
Not all clients are as lucky as Wu Jian'an, who received millions in compensation after his house was demolished.
The deal we signed yesterday was special and cannot be viewed in the usual way.
"Ms. Fan, the landlord made it very clear to me that the price is 3 million yuan and she won't lower it by a single cent. Moreover, she has already booked her plane tickets to Sanya. She's only selling this apartment for 3 days, and if it doesn't sell in 300 days, she simply won't sell it at all."
"You..." Fan Wenli wanted to continue arguing, but Ye Xiuxue quickly pulled his wife back, signaling her to calm down. He then turned to Chen Yuanzhou with a smile, "Let's discuss this properly!"
"Okay!" Chen Yuanzhou nodded politely, turned around and saw a figure wearing a baseball cap and large sunglasses walking through the door with a swaying figure, and quickly went to greet him.
"Hello! Are you Ms. Liu?"
Liu Beige wore sunglasses, so her expression was unreadable. She replied coldly, "You're Xiao Chen? Now you're so arrogant selling houses, you don't even take clients?"
"I'm so sorry! I've neglected you!" Chen Yuanzhou hurriedly pointed to the lobby and explained, "Look, there are so many clients here, I really couldn't get away. After all, good houses are hard to come by, and everyone is quite interested."
Liu Beige pursed her lips, looked around, and her mindset had changed.
Actually, most of her anger subsided as soon as she walked in the door. She may be delicate, but she's not stupid.
Seeing so many people looking at the house, her focus naturally shifted from causing trouble to the house itself.
This is also the reason why Chen Yuanzhou dares to be less polite to his clients. Any client who is genuinely interested in buying a house will not care about the agent's attitude after seeing this deliberately created scene on site; they will only focus on the house itself.
"Then show it to me~ If there are no problems, I can decide on it on the spot." Liu Beige nodded to him.
Upon hearing this, Chen Yuanzhou subconsciously sized up Liu Beige.
The baseball cap is from Chanel, with double C embroidery and a white and gold color scheme.
These sunglasses are a classic style from Prada's square collection.
On her wrist was an Omega women's diamond-set watch and a Cartier rose gold bracelet.
Full Chanel sportswear plus a jacket
Especially the Hermès bag she was carrying, a 35cm black Birkin, the most popular style this year.
The total value of her outfit alone exceeds 20!
Young and beautiful, dressed in luxury, she wants to buy a townhouse.
With these conditions combined, Chen Yuanzhou instantly concluded that she was the most reliable client so far.
So Chen Yuanzhou thought wickedly, was her biological father richer or her godfather richer?
Of course, Chen Yuanzhou didn't care about any of this. He simply put on a sincere smile, reached out to guide Liu Beige to start looking at the house, and began asking some routine questions.
"Ms. Liu, how do you plan to pay for your house? Will you take out a loan or...?"
"Of course I'll pay it all at once. I don't like living with debt."
"Are you married or not? I'm not trying to pry into your privacy, but this involves later legal procedures, so..."
"Yes, I'm legally single, but I have a boyfriend, and he bought the house for me."
"Um... was it bought in your name or...?"
This question made Liu Beige hesitate for a moment, but she quickly replied, "We'll talk about that later. Maybe we'll get the marriage certificate then."
"Understood!" Chen Yuanzhou said, having already completed a tour of the first floor, and led her up to the second floor.
Chen Yuanzhou had spoken to Zhou Yun about posting on the forum last night to solicit clients; otherwise, he wouldn't have dared to write those things.
So Zhou Yun didn't go downstairs all day, but stayed in her bedroom, sitting in front of the French windows, lost in thought...
"Wow!" Liu Beige couldn't help but exclaim softly as she went upstairs.
This apartment was originally a gift to Zhou Yun, so a huge oil painting, a replica of the famous foreign work "Synchronized Water Ballet," is inlaid on the wall of the small living room on the second floor.
"I have that painting at home too!" Liu Beige's spirits instantly lifted. Turning around, she walked into the bedroom and saw Zhou Yun, who also possessed an exceptionally graceful figure. She blurted out, "Sister, are you also a dancer?"
"?" Zhou Yun snapped out of her daze and saw that it was Chen Yuanzhou with a young and beautiful girl, so she smiled and said, "You used to be a dancer too?"
"Yes, yes~ I'm an actress from the Jiangcheng Song and Dance Theater." Liu Beige saw Zhou Yun in a blue dress, looking intelligent and beautiful, and felt a great liking for her.
She stepped forward with a smile: "No wonder I felt a sense of familiarity when I entered this house; it turns out you're in the same profession as me!"
"Ms. Liu~" Chen Yuanzhou knew that Zhou Yun was feeling a bit down, so he said at the right time, "Let me show you the walk-in closet. It was designed very well, and the dressing table is especially beautiful."
She then led the excited Liu Beige away, but her youthful smile infected the dejected Zhou Yun.
Suddenly, she saw herself right after graduating from university. Liu Beige at this moment was just like her back then: full of hope for the future, poised and generous, enthusiastic and outgoing, and even a bit of a social butterfly!
But now, all that's left in my heart is bitterness and sorrow.
Ever since Liu Beige saw Zhou Yun, whether it was because of a sense of identification as a fellow dancer or for some other reason, she found the house increasingly pleasing to the eye.
It seems like every detail here was tailor-made for me, and I even feel that I couldn't have done it any better if I had decorated and decorated it myself.
Moreover, unlike some mature and prudent clients, she did not hide her thoughts for fear of falling into an awkward situation when negotiating the price.
Liu Beiqie kept expressing her liking for the house, and the house-viewing process became incredibly slow because she kept taking selfies around the house.
Finally, she followed Chen Yuanzhou to sit on the pastoral-style terrace on the third floor…
"Manager Chen!" Liu Beige's eyes lit up. "I want this apartment!"
