Chapter 200 Even People Are Needed
"Mr. Zhang, this is the seventh house we've looked at. You haven't found any that you like?"
Liu Long said quite speechlessly.
Mr. Zhang was very careful when looking at houses and was very good at finding faults. Basically, he could find some problems in all the seven houses they looked at. This was not a bad thing, after all, the one who picks things out is the one who makes the purchase.
But it is rare that one looks at seven houses in a row and still doesn’t like any of them.
"There's nothing I can do about it. The prices of renovated houses are high, and the prices of cheap houses are average. I still want a well-renovated house so I don't have to decorate it myself. The floor is also good, and most importantly, the price is favorable." Zhang Qiyuan said.
Are you making a wish with me?
Liu Long rolled his eyes in his mind and said, "Mr. Zhang, you get what you pay for. The more expensive one will definitely have better decoration..."
"Let's not talk about the house for now. How do you charge the agency fee?" Zhang Qiyuan stopped Liu Long from speaking.
"The agency fee here is uniformly ." Liu Long said seriously.
"Other people's shells are only , why are yours also If that's the case, I might as well find some shells." Zhang Qiyuan glanced at this guy. Did he think he was a rookie?
"Mr. Zhang, I think the agency fee is not the point. The point is how to help you negotiate the lowest price. Some agents may tell you a point or even lower, but if they can't help you negotiate the price, you may spend more money. We can help you negotiate the lowest price, and the money saved is much more than the agency fee." Liu Long said.
"Then can't you help me negotiate the lowest price and make the agency fee cheaper?"
"Uh... Mr. Zhang... the agency fee is easy to negotiate. Now the main thing is to help you find a satisfactory house."
Seeing that Zhang Qiyuan was not easy to fool, Liu Long changed the subject.
"I'm not very satisfied with any of these houses. How about this, let's add each other on WeChat first. When there is a cheap house, you can tell me." Zhang Qiyuan saw that it was almost time and didn't want to waste time here with Liu Long and the others.
"Okay, Wei Bo, add Mr. Zhang's WeChat. If you find a good deal, please contact Mr. Zhang."
Hearing Zhang Qiyuan say this, Liu Long immediately concluded that Zhang Qiyuan was just looking for a bargain and that it would be difficult to close the deal in a short period of time. He lost interest and directly asked Wang Wei Bo to follow up.
Zhang Qiyuan was also happy to see this happen. If Liu Long added him on WeChat, he might have seen through him in a few days. But this young man, Wang Weibao, was obviously a novice and was easier to fool. He was also very motivated to place orders. If a good house really came out in the future, he would definitely contact him first.
There is actually a saying for a client looking for a broker. An experienced broker has more experience and knowledge, and can understand the client's thoughts through conversation, and can recommend a house that is more suitable for the client. However, experienced brokers are more slippery, and it is not easy to find out the real bottom price of a house from an experienced broker. Moreover, there are many tricks, and generally, a novice who is buying a house for the first time is easily fooled.
Brokers who have just entered the industry have no clients and no experience. When they finally meet a client, they will be absolutely open-hearted to the client. After all, as newcomers, they know nothing, and sincerity is the only thing they can show.
Just like an honest person, honesty is his only advantage.
Therefore, when looking for an agent to buy a house, it is best to find an old agent and a new agent. If you don’t understand anything during the house buying process, you can consult the old agent. If you want to ask about the bottom price of the house, it is best to find a new agent.
After separating from Liu Long and the others, Zhang Qiyuan pretended to leave, then quickly wrote down the houses he had just looked at in his notebook. After walking around outside, he came to Shijia Real Estate.
As soon as he entered the door, Zhang Qiyuan immediately knew that he had found the store he was looking for.
This store looks to be about 70 square meters. Unlike the long and narrow store like Xingcheng Jingyuan, this shop is very wide and shallow. It looks like two small shops connected together. This kind of shop has an advantage, that is, the door front is relatively wide and the signboard can be made very large.
The reason why he said he found the store he was looking for was that in the huge store, there was only a very young guy in his twenties sitting at the front desk with his phone in landscape mode, and it was obvious that he was playing games.
Seeing someone coming in, Lu Zhuo quickly put down his phone, stood up in a panic and said, "Hello...Hello...Are you buying or selling a house?"
"I want to ask if your store is still hiring?"
Zhang Qiyuan asked after taking a look at the decoration of the store.
Hearing that he was here to apply for a job, Lu Zhuo glanced at Zhang Qiyuan unhappily, then sat down again, picked up his phone and said casually: "We're not hiring. If you're looking for a job, you can go to the nearby Zhongshang Real Estate, Aijia Real Estate or City Sunshine." "Oh? I see other real estate agencies are hiring? Why aren't you hiring?" Zhang Qiyuan smiled slightly and sat down on the stool in front of the front desk.
Lu Zhuo glanced at Zhang Qiyuan and said impatiently, "If you don't want to recruit people, then you don't want to recruit people. What's the reason?"
Zhang Qiyuan was confronted, but he was not annoyed. He looked at the business card boxes in front of the counter. There were business cards in all six business card boxes, but they were all duplicates. There were only two people's names in total. One was named Lu Jia and the other was named Lu Zhuo. The young man playing the game in front of him was Lu Zhuo. Judging from the name, they should be relatives.
Lu Qiao's position is store manager. The photo on her business card is of a good-looking woman. The photo has obviously been photoshopped so her real age cannot be seen, but she looks pretty.
Zhang Qiyuan took out his cell phone and called the number on the business card.
"Hello, hello."
The call was quickly connected and a pleasant voice came from the phone.
Hearing this voice, Zhang Qiyuan felt that it was a bit like the voice of his sister Zhu Shidie, with a soft Wu dialect, very pleasant to the ear.
"Manager Lu..."
"Sorry, I'm currently seeing a client, so it's not convenient for me to answer the phone. I'll get back to you after I finish seeing the client." Zhang Qiyuan just opened his mouth when he was interrupted by Lu Jia, who then hung up the phone.
Zhang Qiyuan frowned slightly. Seeing how busy Lu Jia was, it didn't seem like he was short of customers. Why were there so few people in the store?
After thinking about it, Zhang Qiyuan glanced at Lu Zhuo and decided that he still had to find out some information.
He stood up and walked behind Lu Zhuo. Sure enough, the person playing the game was Honor of Kings. He immediately started giving the orders.
"This wave goes around, yes, push the shooter back and kill him instantly, quickly..."
"Don't run away, command your teammates to lead the Overlord..."
"One wave is enough, don't worry, click on the crystal..."
Under Zhang Qiyuan's command, Lu Zhuo quickly won the victory. Zhang Qiyuan glanced at his rank and saw that it was only diamond. No wonder he was so bad at playing. He was far worse than Wang Qun and Li Xin in his store.
"Do you play this game, too?"
Because of Zhang Qiyuan's command, Lu Zhuo's attitude towards Zhang Qiyuan changed slightly.
"I have played it, but not often. By the way, I just called your sister, and she said she was bringing in clients. It seems that she should have a lot of clients. Why does your store look not so prosperous? Can't you recruit people?" Zhang Qiyuan asked indirectly.
"It's not that we can't recruit people. We had four or five people in our store before, but we didn't have much sales. Even if my cousin brought a customer here occasionally, she couldn't close the deal. Besides, other stores have been poaching people from our store. Later on, several people in our store were poached." Lu Zhuo said.
"Your cousin is the boss, why can't you negotiate with the client?"
"Although my cousin is the boss and has many customers, to be honest, she is not very good at negotiating deals, so now she basically only deals with new houses. This store will probably be closed soon, so I asked you to go to another store before."
Hearing this, Zhang Qiyuan suddenly realized that he guessed that Lu Jia should be similar to Ni Qingqing. With her outstanding appearance, she is sure to have many customers, but when it comes to negotiating second-hand housing deals, she is not so good at it.
In addition, since he was always working on new houses, he definitely had no time to manage the store, which resulted in all the people in the store being poached by other stores.
Thinking of this, Zhang Qiyuan's heart moved.
He just wanted this shop before.
But now, he wants people too!
