Chapter 196 Small gathering
In the past, apart from basic needs, residential properties were considered short-term investments compared to apartments. If one wanted to cash out, one could sell them at any time. However, if one wanted to cash out an apartment, one would have to pay more taxes, and it would be difficult to cash out quickly.
But in today's downturn in the real estate industry, it is very difficult to quickly cash in on residential properties, and most of them are sold at a loss. Compared with apartments, the difference is actually not that big. On the contrary, the location of apartments is better than most residential properties.
Unlike houses that cost millions, apartments are much cheaper.
If you don’t consider issues like children or school districts, apartments are undoubtedly more in line with the needs of today’s young people.
For middle-aged people, apartments are more suitable for long-term investment. Among apartments and houses of the same price, apartments definitely have better locations, so the occupancy rate of apartments is very high, and they can easily enjoy high returns.
It’s not that people can’t afford houses, but that apartments are more cost-effective.
The Longfor apartment is located next to the 8500 square meter Longfor Tianjie, and the subway will be opened soon. The price of 70 yuan per square meter is indeed very cost-effective. Based on the average area of 60 square meters, one unit is only about 9000 yuan. If they sell one unit at a premium of yuan, it will be only yuan per square meter.
"Can I see your apartment? I'll come over and shoot a video then?" Zhang Qiyuan asked.
"You can come and see them anytime. They are all ready-to-move-in houses." Fan Hao said excitedly.
He knew how popular Zhang Qiyuan was now. If Zhang Qiyuan was really willing to come and shoot a video, it would be a big promotion for their Longhu villa.
"Okay, I'll come over to take pictures after I buy a drone." Zhang Qiyuan said with a smile.
He had wanted to buy a drone before, but drones were not necessities and he was not sure whether he could make money by starting a company, so he did not dare to spend money lavishly. Now that he has made money, he wants to buy a drone as soon as possible.
With a drone, it is very convenient to take pictures of a new house or the exterior of a villa.
The apartment was just an unfinished house, and he was afraid that there would be nothing interesting to shoot in the house tour video. What he needed to shoot were the facilities around the apartment, and the effect would be much better if these things were shot with a drone.
"Then I'll wait for your news."
"Well, remember to come to our place for dinner at 7pm later."
Zhang Qiyuan said this, then @ed everyone in the air force base and asked them to come to Wanjia Villa for dinner at 7 o'clock.
"What big order has Mr. Zhang placed again?" Qu Feng said in the group.
"The main reason is that we haven't gathered together for a long time, so we want to get everyone together." Zhang Qiyuan explained quickly.
"Is the townhouse in Xingcheng Jingyuan considered a luxury item?" Xia Tong said at this time.
"Is it the townhouse that was reduced from over 6 million to over 5 million? Was it sold by our General Manager Zhang?" Qu Feng asked in surprise.
"Nonsense, I figured it out. This guy asked me to list the house on Beike so that we, Beike, can bargain for him on the price." Xia Tong said depressedly.
Jiang Yue's townhouse was slashed to more than 5 million by his colleagues at Beike. He was quite happy, thinking that he had won another house. However, a few days later, the owner told him that the house was sold and asked him to take it off the market. He asked who sold it, and the owner said that it was sold by an agency in Xingcheng Jingyuan. Apart from Zhang Qiyuan and their Qijia Real Estate, there was no one else in Xingcheng Jingyuan.
This house was given by Zhang Qiyuan, and it was sold by Zhang Qiyuan. He had no choice because all his colleagues at Beike were no match for Zhang Qiyuan.
"That's fair competition. If a customer of your company, Beike, offers a high price, then you would also be the winner of the property, right?" Zhang Qiyuan said with a smile.
"Don't talk about useless things. When we drink tonight, only one of us can stand." Xia Tong said.
"..."
……
After returning to the store with Wang Yong, Zhang Qiyuan ordered a drone online, and then took Luo Gang aside to talk about opening a branch.
"Do you want to open a branch in the 133 International Community? That's a bit difficult. The competition there is very fierce. Shangjia Real Estate opened a store there, but it closed after only three months." Luo Gang said.
"The competition is a bit fierce, but if we switch to the next store, it will be much better." Zhang Qiyuan said after thinking for a moment.
There are five stores there now. If they want to move in, there will be six. The competition is indeed fierce, but the location is indeed better, otherwise there wouldn’t be so many real estate agencies moving in.
However, the market is not very good now. He does not believe that all the stores there are profitable. There will definitely be stores that cannot survive. If one store is transferred over, it will still be five stores, which is acceptable. "What about the people? You need people to buy a store, right? The Shell store next door is almost renovated. We think it is better to stabilize this store first. After this store is stabilized, we will open a branch there next year. It will be easier to recruit people at that time." Luo Gang said maturely.
"Is the decoration so fast?" Zhang Qiyuan asked in surprise.
"Dezo is a franchise store, and the decoration is done by specialized people, so it's naturally fast." Luo Gang said.
"Are you sure Xiong Wei is the store manager over there?" Zhang Qiyuan frowned slightly.
"That should be it. I saw Xiong Wei going in and out of that store over there these days." Luo Gang nodded.
"Xiong Wei is really haunting us."
Zhang Qiyuan felt a little emotional, but not too worried.
Beike is different from other agencies. The agency fees are basically fixed, and it is impossible for Xiong Wei to disgust them by reducing the agency fees.
"I guess they should be open in a few days."
"Then should we send a flower basket over?" Zhang Qiyuan said with a smile.
"That's not necessary. I think he would feel uncomfortable seeing us." Luo Gang also laughed.
"Then it depends on your ability. By the way, a few friends are having a drink together tonight, you can come too, so you don't have to cook when you go back." Zhang Qiyuan said. Luo Gang's wife works the night shift at the outlet, and Luo Gang usually takes his daughter home to cook at night.
"Then thank you, Mr. Zhang!" Luo Gang joked.
……
Seven o'clock in the evening, Wanjia Villa.
"No, Qi Yuan, I heard from Fan Hao that in addition to selling the townhouse in Xingcheng Jingyuan last month, you also sold the lower floor of the east unit in Lakeside Yujing?" Xia Tong looked at Zhang Qiyuan with envy.
"They are just some small orders. Come on, let's not talk about this today. Let's drink."
Zhang Qiyuan raised his glass and spoke to everyone.
"You're the one who should be pretending!"
"I'm not pretending. Everyone knows about placing orders. If you don't place an order for three years, you will make a living for three years if you place an order. Sometimes when you're lucky, it's normal to place more orders. Just like I didn't place an order for two months before October." Zhang Qiyuan said modestly.
"I invited everyone to come over for dinner this time because, firstly, we haven't gathered together for a long time, so it's a good opportunity to get together, and secondly, we can exchange ideas. For example, I have a first-hand channel for employee welfare housing for radio and television stations. The cost is 12 yuan. If you want to make money, just add on top of that."
Everyone present were Zhang Qiyuan's closest friends since he entered the industry. With such a channel, Zhang Qiyuan naturally wanted to tell them that they could make money together, so he added 11 yuan to the cost of yuan.
"Is it safe? I just happen to have a client who wants a 177-square-meter house in the Radio and Television Bureau."
Hearing Zhang Qiyuan's words, Qu Feng immediately became interested.
"It's definitely safe. The customer's funds will be kept with us, and we will give the money to the other side after the online signing. I think everyone still recognizes my character, right?" Zhang Qiyuan said with a smile.
Qu Feng and others nodded. After spending such a long time together, everyone still recognized Zhang Qiyuan's character.
"Okay, I'll bring the client to your store to talk tomorrow."
"no problem!"
Zhang Qiyuan was still quite envious of Qu Feng. If he could poach Qu Feng, he would have enough manpower to open a branch.
