Chapter 206 Shell Ban
Ye Qingrong had no choice. No one expected that Xingcheng Jingyuan would suddenly set up a rental and sales center.
During the process of showing the property, he kept promoting that Beike could guarantee the safety of customers' funds. He then fabricated a story about a customer looking for someone from the rental and sales center to make a transaction. As a result, the house was sealed as soon as the down payment was given.
"Then how much is your agency fee at Beike?" Xu Yi looked around the house and was quite satisfied. It was renovated twice, had a parking space, and was cheap. Apart from being on the top floor, everything else met his expectations. However, as long as the price was cheap, he was not unacceptable to the top floor.
"Eight points."
"Can't you give me a discount?"
"Mr. Xu, our Shell's agency fee is a uniform basis points, there is really no discount." Ye Qingrong continued: "You get what you pay for. Our Shell's fund supervision platform can guarantee the safety of your funds. Unlike those small agencies and rental and sales centers, they can never guarantee the safety of your funds. If you lose more than you gain, it will not be good."
"The owner is in a hurry to sell the house. If you think it's okay, we can invite the owner over for a face-to-face meeting now." Xiong Wei echoed.
"Are there any other houses available?" Xu Yi asked calmly.
"Yes, but the price may not be as cheap as this set." Ye Qingrong hesitated.
"Let's go take a look first..."
"Row!"
Considering that the customer had already seen the advertisement of Xingcheng Jingyuan Property, Ye Qingrong did not block it anymore. Now not only the customer could see it clearly, but Xiong Wei could see it as well.
Xiong Wei's face changed. He was just wondering why Ye Qingrong kept saying that their Shell's funds were safe. It turned out to be because of this. However, he thought further than Ye Qingrong. If the property of Xingcheng Jingyuan started to operate as a rental and sales center, then their store would be in trouble. By then, there might be no Shell agents willing to show their community, and the houses they had listed would be useless.
"Well, as Xiao Ye said before, the fund supervision of our Beike is very safe..." Xiong Wei coughed dryly, and began to promote the fund security of their Beike like Ye Qingrong.
"Well, Shell's fund supervision is relatively safe." Xu Yi responded vaguely.
Seeing this perfunctory attitude, Xiong Wei and Ye Qingrong looked at each other helplessly.
Then Ye Qingrong took the client to see two more houses, both on the second and third floors. After all, the only houses that fit the client’s budget were those that stood on the second and third floors.
"Mr. Xu, the only unit that meets your budget right now is the penthouse, which has a very high cost-performance ratio, has been renovated twice, comes with a parking space, and is not leaky. The house is very nice. Many people have viewed this house recently. I suggest that you make an appointment with the owner for a face-to-face interview right away." Ye Qingrong said anxiously.
"Buying a house is a big deal after all. We need to think about it. Let's stop here for today. We will go back and think about it and then give you an answer." Xu Yi said with a smile.
"Uh...Okay, Mr. Xu, once you've thought about it, just tell me." Ye Qingrong said helplessly.
After Ye Qingrong and Xiong Wei sent the client and his family to the car, their expressions suddenly became very ugly.
"I guess your client will have to go to the property management to ask." Xiong Wei said.
"What can we do? Who would have thought that Xingcheng Jingyuan would actually start a rental and sales center?"
"First, tell the owner about your client's situation. If the owner has any principles, he will not be jumped. If he has no principles, then there is nothing we can do." Xiong Wei said.
"It can only be this way."
While the two were chatting, someone in Shell’s second-hand housing group took a photo of the advertising poster of the Xingcheng Jingyuan elevator and posted it in the group.
"Brothers, please stop recommending Xingcheng Jingyuan's houses to your customers. There are property ads posted in all the elevators here."
"No way, Xingcheng Jingyuan is also setting up a rental and sales center?"
"Really? I just took a client there. When I saw the advertisement in the elevator, I wanted to kill someone."
For a time, there was a lot of discussion in the Shell second-hand housing group.
"Don't promote Xingcheng Jingyuan for the time being, unless you have very stable customers." At this time, the operations director of Shell sent a notice in the group. After seeing this notice, Xiong Wei wanted to curse. They had just opened a Shell store in Xingcheng Jingyuan, and Xingcheng Jingyuan started to set up a rental and sales center. Isn't this cutting off their store's source of income?
If they had known that Xingcheng Jingyuan was going to set up a rental and sales center, they would never have opened a store here.
……
On the other side, after Xu Yi and Ye Qingrong separated, they walked in through the main gate of Xingcheng Jingyuan with their family and immediately saw the billboard erected at the entrance of the property.
After a slight hesitation, Xu Yi walked into the property and asked the staff there about issues regarding the sale and purchase of second-hand houses.
"Our property management company cooperates with Qijia Real Estate next door. The agency fee is indeed only points, and all the procedures are legal and compliant. There are no safety hazards. Their store has sold several units in our Xingcheng Jingyuan, and there are no problems with fund insecurity."
"If you want to buy a house, I can take you there and let the agent there show you the house. If you don't have time now, you can also leave a phone number and I will let the agent there contact you." said the property staff.
Xu Yi thought about it and realized that if he went to Qijia Real Estate now, he might run into Ye Qingrong and the others, which would be very awkward, so he left a number and contacted them by phone to see who could get the lowest price.
For people like them who need to buy a house, every bit of saving is a bit. Saving 1 percentage point on the agency fee is more than yuan, which is almost their family's monthly income.
In the current environment, it is difficult to earn more than 10,000 yuan.
After leaving his phone number, Xu Yi left with his family.
The lady at the property management immediately sent the customer's number to Luo Gang.
Luo Gang was cheered up after receiving the number. This was already the third customer recommended by the property management. Moreover, each customer was quite accurate and had a high intention to buy a house. Although the money earned had to be shared with the property management, their main goal was to make small profits but quick turnover.
"Sister He, the property management has sent over another person who can come over. Please contact the client." Luo Gang sent the client's number to Sister He.
"Ok!"
After receiving the number, Sister He immediately called the customer.
"Hello, I'm the agent of Qijia Real Estate. Are you considering buying a house in Xingcheng Jingyuan?"
"Yes, do you charge as the agency fee?"
"Yes."
"Then do you have a penthouse on the top floor of Building 8? It has been renovated twice and comes with a parking space." Xu Yi said.
"Yes, I am the one who maintains that house. The owner wants to sell it urgently. It can be sold for 160 million." Sister He said quickly.
"160 million? Is the price negotiable?"
"Well, that might require an interview. If you have time, you can have an interview with the owner."
"I'll think about it again."
"Okay, contact me after you've thought about it."
After Sister He finished speaking, she hung up the phone.
"Sister He, is it really possible to negotiate for that house you mentioned at 160 million?" At this time, Li Hong, who was sitting next to her, looked at Sister He with shining eyes.
I caught a cold yesterday and felt weak all over. I kept sleeping. Today I bought some medicine and forced myself to write.
