Chapter 127: Making Funny Videos
"It's been an hour, and your client doesn't answer the phone or reply to the text message. I guess the call has been intercepted by someone." Luo Gang was getting a little impatient.
"Since the appointment has been made, I must wait for the client to come." Zhang Qiyuan said in a deep voice.
Luo Gang glanced at Zhang Qiyuan's expression and suddenly laughed, "Do you know what you look like now?"
"Like what?" Zhang Qiyuan glanced at him.
"Lick the dog!"
"roll!"
Zhang Qiyuan knew that this guy was up to no good.
At this time, Luo Gang took out his cell phone and shouted to Zhang Qiyuan: "Xiao Zhang, what are you doing here?"
Zhang Qiyuan rolled his eyes and ignored the guy.
"Hey, please cooperate with me. I'll take a video with you." Luo Gang said.
"roll!"
"Come on, make a funny video, maybe it can attract some customers for you." Luo Gang persuaded.
Zhang Qiyuan thought about it and decided to play with Luo Gang since he had nothing to do at the moment.
"Okay, say it again." Zhang Qiyuan said.
"OK, let's start!"
Luo Gang raised his phone and shouted at Zhang Qiyuan: "What are you doing here?"
"Waiting for my client!"
"Your customers won't come in such a hot sun."
“No, the client will come if he says so.”
"She will definitely not come."
"I must wait for her to come!"
"OK, click!"
Luo Gang made an OK gesture, then pointed to the ground and said, "Come on, lie on the ground now and pretend to have a heat stroke. Then edit a video of the ambulance coming and it will be complete."
"You want me to lie on the ground?" Zhang Qiyuan glared at Luo Gang.
"Do you know how to shoot a video? This is the reversal. Add the voice-over of 'two hours later' and then switch to the scene of you lying on the ground being taken away by an ambulance. That would be funny." Luo Gang transformed himself into a professional director and said.
"Go away. My back is all sweaty now. If I lie on the ground, won't I be covered in dust? What if a customer comes later?" Zhang Qiyuan said unhappily.
"Your customers won't come..."
Seeing Zhang Qiyuan staring at him, Luo Gang could only change his words: "Okay, okay, I'll come, I'll come, but this scene must be needed, otherwise it won't be funny enough. How about this, you pretend to be fainted and lie on the tree with your legs apart, and then take a scene. Don't worry, this video will definitely go viral. Maybe you can start a live broadcast on Douyin by then. Do you know Xiao Yueyue?"
"Yue Yunpeng?"
"No, it's Xiao Yueyue, our Seoul real estate internet celebrity." Luo Gang asked.
"I don't know!" Zhang Qiyuan shook his head. He had never paid attention to this kind of thing.
"Let me tell you, Xiao Yueyue is an employee of Xiong Wei's previous boss at Aijia Real Estate. He became famous by making videos criticizing developers. Now he's a big internet celebrity. You may be the next Xiao Yuanyuan." Luo Gang said.
"Get out of here!" Zhang Qiyuan said speechlessly.
"No, it's just one picture. There's no one around now anyway, so just give it a try." Luo Gang advised.
Zhang Qiyuan glanced around and hesitated, "Just one picture?"
“Make sure it’s just one picture.”
"Okay!" Zhang Qiyuan hesitated for a moment and agreed.
"Come, come, this tree. Sit on it with your legs spread out and lie on the tree with your head tilted. Yes, yes, that's it." Director Luo excitedly instructed Zhang Qiyuan to pretend to faint.
After Zhang Qiyuan finished, he quickly took out his cell phone to take a picture of the scene.
"Click! OK, perfect!"
Hearing this, Zhang Qiyuan quickly stood up, looked around guiltily, and after making sure that no one was paying attention, he breathed a sigh of relief and then brushed off the dust off his clothes.
"I'll send the video to you later. Just do as I say. After the conversation, add the subtitles of an hour later, then the scene of you suffering from heatstroke, and then insert the scene of the ambulance. Remember to add some sad background music, it will definitely go viral." Luo Gang said.
"Okay, I see."
After the two finished filming the video, they kept waiting until 3:30, when the client sent him a message saying "coming right away".
Seeing this, Zhang Qiyuan breathed a sigh of relief, then shook his phone in front of Luo Gang and said, "See, I told you that the customer would definitely come."
"He waited for an hour and a half, and he must have spent this hour and a half going to see houses with other agents," Luo Gang concluded.
"It's normal for clients to have other agents now, especially those on Xiaohongshu. Last time I checked our company's Xiaohongshu group, there was a client who added five or six people from our company."
Zhang Qiyuan smiled and said that because the copywriting for their company’s Xiaohongshu group was prepared by the headquarters, posted in the Xiaohongshu group, and then posted on Xiaohongshu by the agent, it was easy to have the same customers.
Once, a colleague posted a screenshot of a conversation with a Xiaohongshu customer in the group and asked if anyone in the group had this customer. As a result, five or six people said they had this customer, including Zhou Qian from their store.
In fact, after seeing the customer's ID, Zhang Qiyuan discovered that he also had that Xiaohongshu customer, and they had chatted for a few minutes. However, the customer wanted a house within the Third Ring Road. He was not very familiar with the area and was not sure about the market conditions and housing supply there, so he didn't follow up much.
Finally, several colleagues in their company set up a group and planned to work together to deceive this client and share the profits equally. As for what happened to this client in the end, he had no idea.
At about 3:50, Xiao Xingyun sent a photo to Zhang Qiyuan.
Zhang Qiyuan took a look at the photo and immediately concluded that the customer was at the original sales office of Xingcheng Jingyuan. He quickly replied, "Wait for me there."
Having said that, Zhang Qiyuan called Luo Gang to walk towards the original sales office of Xingcheng Jingyuan.
Halfway through the journey, he saw a young man and woman in their twenties walking towards them, holding cell phones in their hands and seemingly looking at a map.
"Are you two here to see the house?" Zhang Qiyuan asked.
"Yes, you are Xiao Zhang?" the woman asked politely.
"Yes, young lady, what's your name?" Zhang Qiyuan asked quickly.
"My last name is Luo, and this is my wife, her last name is Ding," the man said.
"Oh, this gentleman's surname is also Luo. My surname is also Luo, and my name is Luo Gang. I'm the manager of Xiao Zhang's store. We were a family five hundred years ago." Luo Gang immediately tried to establish a relationship with him.
"Your last name is also Luo? That's such a coincidence. There aren't many people with this last name." Mr. Luo said in surprise.
"Yes, it's fate."
Just when Luo Gang was trying to establish a relationship with Mr. Luo, Zhang Qiyuan brought a group of people to Room 6, Building 1004, Xingcheng Jingyuan.
After looking at the house, the two were not very satisfied. Although this house was relatively cheap, Building 6 faced the road, and the room number contained 4, which was not even two.
"Although the environment of Xingcheng Jingyuan is good, the taxes and fees are a bit too high." Ding Ling said.
"So what is your budget?" Zhang Qiyuan asked.
"About 170 million." Luo Mengjie said.
"Then Blue Sky International is the most suitable place. We can go and see the 105-square-meter house I told you about before." Zhang Qiyuan said immediately.
With a budget of 170 million, most houses in the South District can be purchased. However, Ding Ling does not like houses without separation of pedestrians and vehicles, nor does she want employee welfare housing. So the only options left are the small apartments in Blue Sky International and Yueshan Mansion. However, Yueshan Mansion does not have full two-story apartments, so Blue Sky International is the most suitable.
As an agent, your job is to analyze the client’s budget and preferences during the conversation, so that you can accurately recommend houses to the client. Otherwise, if you show a bunch of houses to see, the client will have a hard time making a decision and you will be very tired.
