Chapter 342 The wall fell and everyone pushed it
He opened stores one by one, but the pace was still too slow. Not to mention that the decoration would take nearly two months, just the period from recruiting people to making a profit was too long. If Shangjia Real Estate could be brought in, their stores could be expanded to eight stores in an instant, and then their Qijia Real Estate stores in Hongshan District and the New District would be similar to Aijia Real Estate.
But this news alone is definitely not enough to make Shangjia Real Estate side with him. After all, people's memory is short. Once this period of time is over, who will know about this matter?
After thinking about it, Zhang Qiyuan called Zhang Yi first.
"Dean Zhang, I just saw a news report saying that Shangjia Real Estate colluded with scammers to defraud the owner of one million yuan. What is going on?" Zhang Qiyuan pretended to be confused.
"This is what happened..." Zhang Yi told Zhang Qiyuan the whole story.
Just like what Hu Jin encountered before, a customer contacted a newcomer in the Poly store at the port, and then Wu Zifeng was responsible for the negotiations. However, Wu Zifeng had never been responsible for the later stage before, and didn't know much about loans. He thought that it would not have any impact just as he had told the customer. In addition, the customer asked for a 2% agency fee, so Wu Zifeng and the customer deceived the owner into agreeing to guarantee the loan.
"That owner has called the police now, right?"
"Yes, but that client ran away a long time ago and can't be found now. Wu Zifeng was also arrested and is still in detention. Moreover, the owner has sued our Shangjia Real Estate. Mr. Zhou is almost fed up now." Zhang Yi said.
"So what do we do now? I think the news has spread among the real estate agents."
"What else can we do? This is Wu Zifeng's personal behavior. Our company was completely unaware of it. It's just that filing a lawsuit would be a bit more troublesome."
"Will Shangjia Real Estate have a bad reputation in Optics Valley?"
"There's nothing we can do. We can only deal with it coldly."
"Okay, I'll come over to learn more about it. We can go out for a drink together sometime."
After consulting Zhang Yi to understand the situation, Zhang Qiyuan thought about it carefully and decided that if he wanted to force Zhou Qing to cooperate with him, he had to reveal some shocking information.
He first forwarded the post to Yang Hao, and then called Yang Hao.
"Yang Hao, find some internet trolls to pretend to be people from Aijia and Beike and write some soft articles based on the content of the post I just sent you. The more the better." Zhang Qiyuan said.
There is no other way. If they want the Shang family to cooperate with their Qijia Real Estate, they can only ruin the reputation of Shangjia Real Estate first. The worse the better, so that Zhou Qing will be likely to cooperate with him.
He believed that if he went to find Zhou Qing now, he would probably be scolded by her. Only by making Zhou Qing lose her temper would he have a chance.
Even if Zhou Qing doesn't cooperate with him in the end and ruins the Shang family's reputation, then their Qijia Real Estate will have one less competitor.
There is no way, this is the real business war.
Zhang Qiyuan said in his heart.
Just then, Wu Feng called Zhang Qiyuan.
"Qi Yuan, I just called several agents of Poly Store. They said that Poly Store has been notified to suspend business for rectification, and now they can't go to work. And now that something like this happened to the Shang family, they don't want to continue working there. I told them about our treatment here. Many people want to come to our store. Should we accept them or not?" Wu Feng asked.
"Take it, of course!"
Zhang Qiyuan didn't expect that Shangjia Real Estate started to become unstable before he even started to make any efforts.
Zhang Qiyuan naturally accepted such a good thing. "You rent another dormitory, and we will take in all the people from the Poly store." Zhang Qiyuan said.
As long as there are no people there, even if the Poly store is renovated, no one will go to work. But as long as there are people on his side, he can reopen the store at any time.
……
Shangjia Real Estate, Vanke Jincheng Store, second floor, store manager’s office.
"Mr. Zhou, there are many posts and videos online from Aijia Real Estate and Beixi Real Estate Agency showing that Wu Zifeng and other scammers have defrauded property owners. Our Shangjia Real Estate has become notorious online. Today, many property owners called our agents and asked them to remove their houses from the shelves. Many of the agents' clients are not replying to messages anymore, and many agents sent messages today saying they want to resign." Ao Fei reported to Zhou Qing worriedly.
After hearing what Ao Fei said, Zhou Qing went crazy and said, "Wu Zifeng is an idiot. Doesn't he know about such a simple scam? The scammers can run away, but can he?"
Zhou Qing was furious. She closed half of her stores last year and mortgaged her house and car, which finally reduced a lot of pressure. She had planned to work hard this year, but she didn't expect something like this to happen.
If Wu Zifeng had reported this to her before signing the contract, this incident would definitely not have happened.
She had anticipated that many people would post about Shangjia Real Estate on the Internet. The market share is limited, and many customers hope to pay less agency fees, causing many orders of Bei's real estate agencies to be stuck on agency fees. Now that Shangjia has encountered such a thing, those Bei's real estate agencies will definitely help Shangjia "spread the word" and warn those customers who want to pay less agency fees.
She could guess the content of the posts without even looking at them.
It is no wonder that there are great risks in buying a house through a small agency, so it is better to choose a big brand.
She still understands the principle of everyone pushing down the wall when it falls.
"Don't worry about what's happening online for now. The heat will naturally die down after a while. Now the main thing is to retain the company's people. Tell those who have resigned that the company is just temporarily involved in a dispute, and there will be no problem after this period of time." Zhou Qing said calmly.
"Okay." Ao Fei said helplessly.
She felt that even if she told her agent this, the agent wouldn't buy it.
After all, brokers also need to make money. If they stay at Shang's house, as long as they tell clients that they are from Shang's house, any clients who know about this will probably ignore them, not to mention the owner. The victim of this incident is the owner.
As an owner, it is easier to empathize with them, otherwise there wouldn’t be so many owners calling and asking them to take their houses off the market.
Just as they were discussing how to deal with the matter, there was a sudden noisy sound downstairs.
"what's the situation?"
Zhou Qing frowned and said irritably.
"Mr. Zhou, something bad has happened. The cheated owner has come to our place and put up banners, saying that if her money is not returned, she will come to the company gate every day and put up banners..." At this time, Zhang Yi ran over in a panic.
Hearing this, Zhou Qing's face changed drastically and she hurried downstairs to deal with the matter.
