Chapter 107 Buying a House for a Girlfriend
After reaching an agreement with Chu Chengwang, Zhang Qiyuan called Tang Zhiqiang and asked him to bring the work contract over.
Tang Zhiqiang was quite surprised to hear that Zhang Qiyuan had really found a customer who could pay in full. After asking clearly whether he wanted to come directly to sign the contract, he said he would be there in 20 minutes.
Twenty minutes later, Tang Zhiqiang came over with his wife.
Zhang Qiyuan explained the transaction process in detail to both parties in the store. After confirming that both parties agreed, Zhang Qiyuan and Luo Gang brought both parties to Xingcheng Jingyuan to find the property manager, and then presented the work-to-earnings contract.
"The labor-equity contract is real, but our company's duplex is mortgaged to Geyu Doors and Windows Co., Ltd., so the buyer must be someone from Geyu Doors and Windows Co., Ltd." The property manager glanced and said.
Tang Zhiqiang frowned and said impatiently, "This house was mortgaged to me by Mr. Hou of Geyu Doors and Windows. It should have nothing to do with your Xingcheng Group. What right do you have to stipulate who the buyer is?"
"This is a company policy and there's nothing we can do about it." The property manager shrugged.
Hearing this, Zhang Qiyuan and Luo Gang looked at each other. It was obvious that this was because they sold the house without going through Xingcheng Jingyuan, so they came to make things difficult for them.
Zhang Qiyuan thought for a moment and said, "If I ask the buyer to work at Geyu Doors and Windows Co., Ltd., I should be able to buy it, right?"
As soon as these words were spoken, Tang Zhiqiang and Chu Chengwang's eyes suddenly lit up, and they looked at Zhang Qiyuan with admiration.
"This..." The property manager was speechless for a moment, and said hesitantly: "Theoretically, there is no problem."
"Isn't that okay? Your company has regulations that only people from Geyu Doors and Windows Co., Ltd. can buy it. I'm asking the customer to go to Geyu Doors and Windows to start working. It doesn't violate your company's regulations, right?" Zhang Qiyuan said with a smile.
"I need to report this to the company." The property manager said hesitantly.
"Then you'd better react quickly. If your company doesn't agree, then I'll let Mr. Hou from Geyu Doors and Windows come to talk to you?" Tang Zhiqiang said angrily, slamming the table.
Seeing this, the property manager did not dare to delay and quickly made a phone call.
After a while, he said, "The company said that the name change can be filed. At that time, the finance, accounting, and property consultants will be needed to handle the filing together. However, because it is a work-for-hire house, there is no special person to handle it, so the process may be very slow."
"How long will it take?" Chu Chengwang frowned.
The property manager glanced at a few people and said calmly, "It's hard to say. It depends on their schedules. I'm afraid that when one person has time, the other one doesn't, and when the other one has time, the other one doesn't."
As soon as these words were spoken, both Chu Chengwang and Tang Zhiqiang looked unhappy. If things kept dragging on, no one would be sure of success.
Zhang Qiyuan was speechless. It seemed that these people were really unwilling to give up until they saw the rabbit. They would just keep delaying the payment. He gave Luo Gang a look and asked him to talk to the manager.
Luo Gang nodded, then pulled the property manager outside.
"Manager Wei, I made a deal here and didn't charge much in commission, but I charged a percentage point as an agency fee. So, I'll give you five thousand. Can you see if you can ask someone in your company to help with the filing?" Luo Gang whispered.
"You only charge a fee for selling a duplex?" Manager Wei looked at Luo Gang suspiciously, obviously not quite believing it.
"There's nothing we can do. The market is not good right now and Beike is so powerful. We, a small agency, can only charge lower commissions to attract customers." Luo Gang complained.
Manager Wei frowned and said, "Five thousand dollars is not enough for us to share."
"Eight thousand! That's the most. If it doesn't work, forget it." Luo Gang gritted his teeth and stretched out his thumb and index finger. "Okay, eight thousand is eight thousand. It's really a waste to sell this house to you like this." Manager Wei said disdainfully.
"There's nothing I can do. My agents need to eat." Luo Gang said with an awkward smile.
After making sure that there were no problems with Xingcheng Jingyuan, Zhang Qiyuan brought Tang Zhiqiang and his wife and Chu Chengwang's family back to the company to prepare to sign the contract. Tang Zhiqiang and Chu Chengwang discussed the details of the contract.
Tang Zhiqiang's wife and Chu Chengwang's wife started chatting.
"Is this your son? He's quite handsome. Does he have a girlfriend?" Tang Zhiqiang's wife looked at Chu Chengwang's son and said.
"Alas, he is too honest. He is almost thirty years old and still has no girlfriend. We are so worried." Chu Chengwang's wife sighed.
"There is a girl in our company who is pretty and has a good personality, but her family background is a bit poor. How about I introduce her to you?"
"Okay, thank you very much."
Chu Chengwang’s wife was surprised. She didn’t expect that by buying a house, she could also find a girlfriend for her son.
Zhang Qiyuan was a little dumbfounded when he heard this. He had always thought that buying a house as a gift for a girlfriend or wife was just a joke, but he didn't expect it to come true.
However, it was also because Mr. Tang’s wife saw that Chu Chengwang could buy the house in full and his family had some financial strength that she was willing to act as a matchmaker. If it was a loan, she probably wouldn’t have mentioned this matter.
Soon, Tang Zhiqiang took a photo of Chu Chengwang's son's ID card and prepared to go to Geyu Doors and Windows' Mr. Hou to get a fake job to facilitate buying a house. After the deal was settled, Chu Chengwang readily paid the deposit and agency fee. After all, Mr. Tang also promised to introduce a girlfriend to their son.
"Xiao Zhang, does your company do commercial leasing business?" After receiving the deposit transferred by Chu Chengwang, Tang Zhiqiang asked Zhang Qiyuan with a smile.
He was very satisfied with the way Zhang Qiyuan handled his house. He first negotiated with the client before coming to him, and he only needed to come and sign. If Zhang Qiyuan had asked a client to haggle over the price with him bit by bit, he would have been very dissatisfied.
"Yes, we do both residential and commercial work." Luo Gang said quickly.
"Just do it. Here's the thing. I have a friend who wants to find a larger shop in the South District to do Tuhu car maintenance. I'll send him your WeChat later. You can talk to him about the details yourself."
"Ok."
After sending Tang Zhiqiang and Chu Chengwang's family away, Zhang Qiyuan said to Luo Gang in a panic, "What's going on? I know nothing about commercial leasing. Don't mess up my client."
Since he entered the industry, he has never been exposed to commercial leasing. Failure to complete this order is no big deal, but if it delays other people's business, he will be in trouble.
"Don't worry, commercial leasing is actually the same as renting a house. There are only two points. One is increasing, which is divided into cumulative increase and month-on-month increase. Cumulative increase means that the rent increases a little bit year by year, and month-on-month increase means that the rent will be increased after a period of time, which is generally about three years. In the new district, shops basically increase month-on-month, that is, they start to increase from the third year."
"The second point is the renovation period. The renovation period of a shop is very important. In fact, the renovation period of some industries does not need to be too long. If it is fast, it can be completed in half a month. Why do they need a renovation period of two or even three months? That is because the longer the renovation period, the faster they can decorate, and the remaining period is almost free money."
"Of course, it's easier to cancel a commercial lease because the owner will basically post a phone number on the shop, and most customers will contact the owner directly when they see it. Fortunately, you were introduced by Mr. Tang, so you won't have to cancel the order. However, you have to choose a location that he is satisfied with and negotiate a price that suits him."
"Fortunately, there are not many shops in the South District that are suitable for Tuhu car maintenance. There are only a few. I will take you to see them when the time comes. Let's send the good news first." Luo Gang took out his mobile phone and said.
