Chapter 331: When the east is not bright, the west is bright
Zhang Qiyuan and his companions waited for about ten minutes before a young man came over slowly. He looked to be about twenty-six or twenty-seven years old, and judging by his clothes, he should be the owner's secretary or subordinate.
Seeing Zhang Qiyuan and the others waiting in front of the house, the young man looked at Wu Tao and Wang Yun, then asked Luo Gang, "You are the ones who want to see the house, right?"
"Yes, please."
Luo Gang nodded.
The young man said nothing, took out a bunch of keys, opened the gate of the villa,
Zhang Qiyuan immediately took Wu Tao and Wang Yun into the villa.
While the young man was opening the door of the villa, Wu Tao and Wang Yun also took the opportunity to look at the scenery in the yard, and discussed in low voices from time to time, but no one knew what they were talking about.
"come in."
At this time, the young man who was in charge of guarding the door said.
"Professor Wu, Professor Wang, you can come in." Zhang Qiyuan greeted.
Wu Tao and Wang Yun nodded, then walked into the villa, followed by Zhang Qiyuan and Luo Gang.
When Zhang Qiyuan walked into the villa, he was immediately shocked by its luxury. This was the first time he had seen a renovated single-family villa. He had heard others say before that the decoration of a villa is basically the same as the price of the house, which means that you have to spend the same amount of money to decorate it as you did when you bought the house. He thought this was complete nonsense before, but now he has to believe it.
The basic tone of the whole villa is basically gold. Generally, gold will give people a rather earthy feeling, but the design of this villa should have been done by a well-known designer. Although it is mainly gold, it does not have that nouveau riche feeling, but instead exudes a sense of nobility.
Of course, young people like Zhang Qiyuan would definitely not like this style, but Professor Wu and Professor Wang should be able to accept it.
However, even if they can accept this style, Wu Tao and Wang Yun will probably say they don't like it.
For a single-family villa like this, the only way to find a breakthrough is through decoration.
Sure enough, after reading it, Wang Yun said, "I don't like this decoration style very much."
"I think so too. I feel that plainer colors are more suitable for the two professors." Zhang Qiyuan agreed.
"Xiao Zhang, does the owner of Building 6 still insist on selling Building 7 first?" Wu Tao asked.
"Yes, if the owner is willing to sell the six buildings first, I would not recommend you to look at this one."
Wu Tao nodded without saying anything. After he and Wang Yun looked around again, he nodded at Zhang Qiyuan to indicate that he had finished reading.
Zhang Qiyuan gave Luo Gang a wink, and Luo Gang immediately said goodbye to the young man.
After the four of them left the villa, Wu Tao took the initiative to say, "2100 million is too expensive. It's a bit stressful for us."
"After all, this is the owner's listing price. It can be bargained for. If you really like it, you can give us a price and we will try to communicate with the owner." Zhang Qiyuan said quickly.
Hearing this, Wu Tao and Wang Yun discussed quietly for a while, and then said to Zhang Qiyuan: "If you can negotiate 1500 million, we can consider signing it."
"Uh……"
Zhang Qiyuan didn't know what to say.
You may say that their offer was outrageous, but for a house worth 2100 million, a counter-offer of 1500 million seems reasonable.
You said their offer was reasonable, but it was six million lower than the price offered by the owner.
Just speaking of the price, Zhang Qiyuan estimated that the owner's psychological price should be around 1800 million, which is 1500 million lower than Wu Tao's asking price. This is really a bit difficult to negotiate. The owners who can afford to buy a house here basically have no shortage of money, and are not in a hurry to sell. It is basically impossible to negotiate down to million.
"1500 million is unlikely."
After that, Zhang Qiyuan changed the subject and said, "I will try my best to help you negotiate, and then we'll see what the specific situation is."
"Okay, thank you for your help." Wu Tao nodded. "This is what we should do."
After watching Wu Tao and his wife leave, Zhang Qiyuan glanced at Luo Gang and said, "You heard it, 1500 million."
"There's basically no chance with 1500 million." Luo Gang shook his head.
"Let's try our best to talk first. What if we succeed?"
"Fine!"
Luo Gang agreed with some hesitation.
"Take your time. Don't rush. I'll leave the negotiation to you."
A big order like this cannot be negotiated in a day or two, and Zhang Qiyuan did not expect to close the deal after just showing the property.
……
Following the announcement of the government’s rescue policy, the market took a sharp turn for the worse. After June, some developers could no longer bear the pressure and began to cut prices.
This move was like breaking Pandora's box. New housing projects in Seoul started a price-diving competition to see who could cut prices the most.
But the more this happened, the more customers were afraid to buy houses. For a time, the entire market in Seoul was extremely depressed, and there were basically few customers coming out to look at houses.
The price of the detached villa in Xuefu Village could not be negotiated either. The lowest offer from the owner was 1800 million. Wu Tao and Wang Yun felt that the price was too high and wanted to wait.
Zhang Qiyuan had no other choice. He couldn’t force the customer to buy with a knife.
In the blink of an eye, it is already late June.
The seven unfinished houses rented by Zhang Qiyuan have all been renovated. Most of them were three-bedroom houses, but after the renovation, they all became four-bedroom houses. He was quite conscientious and retained a shared kitchen. The other four rooms all have independent electricity meters, and all the doors have been replaced with password locks to make it easier for brokers to take clients to view the houses.
Moreover, the houses were designed by Su Qing and are much more beautiful than the single rooms on the market.
Zhang Qiyuan asked Yang Hao to take a video of all the rooms and then posted it in the group, asking the agent to find clients. He also posted these videos on Xiaohongshu and Douyin.
The unique design style instantly attracted many customers.
Especially when we found out that there was no agency fee for renting this house, three groups of clients came to see the house that evening.
Among them, there are two groups in China Construction Mansion and one group on the eastern slope of Xincheng.
After arranging the time, the next day, around ten o'clock in the morning, Zhang Qiyuan took a young lady in her twenties to look at the house.
Through chatting, Zhang Qiyuan learned that this young lady was a host. As for what she broadcast, she didn't say, so he didn't dare to ask.
This young lady directly booked the master bedroom, which cost 2000 yuan a month for a one-year lease, with a deposit of one and a third of the rent.
The second customer was a man who worked nearby, and Zhang Qiyuan took him directly to see another house.
Although he rented single rooms, he still consciously separated men and women. If a house was full of girls, the other rooms would be easier to rent. If men and women lived together, some girls might not be happy to live there.
The third group of customers rented a house on the eastern slope of the new city. After seeing the house, they immediately decided to rent the master bedroom.
He bought seven houses, renovated each with four rooms, for a total of 28 rooms. He rented out three houses in one day, and that was before the peak rental season, and his agents had not yet started to work.
He estimates that all of his houses should be rented out by mid-July.
The second-hand house was not selling well, but he, the sub-landlord, was doing quite well. This was a win-win situation.
Sure enough, this person still needs to have a side job.
