Chapter 422: General Ga
"The waves are running and flowing, the surging river never stops..."
Looking at the Oriental Pearl Tower, the most iconic building in Shanghai, Zhang Qiyuan couldn't help but humming softly.
"It's so ugly. If others hear us, they will think we are country bumpkins from somewhere." Ni Qingqing on the side looked around in panic.
"Haha, what's the big deal? We are here to have fun, why should we care about what others think?" Zhang Qiyuan squinted his eyes and said comfortably as he felt the breeze from the Huangpu River.
Originally, he planned to come to Shanghai alone to start a new company, but Ni Qingqing was unwilling to do so. She felt that they were going to get married before the end of the year, and it would not be good for them to live apart. Zhang Qiyuan thought about it and agreed, so he brought Ni Qingqing with him.
However, there was no rush to start a new company. After all, he had just arrived in Shanghai and had no idea what to do. So he simply traveled around Shanghai with Ni Qingqing.
The past few days were quite pleasant, making him feel like he was running away with the money.
There are 38 franchise stores. Except for the first few stores that require a franchise deposit of 20,000 yuan, the remaining stores all require a franchise deposit of 50,000 yuan. In other words, he now has more than million yuan in franchise deposits from various franchise stores.
In other words, he has money now, otherwise, with more than one million in his hands, he might really run away.
The one million yuan he had spent on advertising was almost recovered during the May Day period, but he later found more than a dozen partners and reinvested the money. The money earned by Qixing Leasing Co., Ltd. was not distributed as dividends, and was basically used to continue acquiring houses and renovating them. The decoration company he and Su Qing had partnered with made a lot of money during this period.
Because they trusted him and Qijia Real Estate, most of the customers who bought second-hand houses from them chose the company they recommended. In addition, Zhang Qiyuan recommended their decoration company to Liu Yao and Mr. Li who bought Lakeside Jade View. Therefore, he could get about 500,000 yuan in decoration dividends in June and July.
Including the money earned by Qijia Real Estate in June and July, he has almost million yuan in cash. Adding the franchise deposit, he now has more than 3 million yuan in cash. Moreover, Qijia Real Estate, Qixing Leasing, Qi Leju and the decoration company he and Su Qing jointly established are still constantly generating profits for him.
"You've been playing in Shanghai for more than a week. Have you decided where to start a company? How to start a company?" Ni Qingqing rolled her eyes at Zhang Qiyuan.
"Don't worry, I'm currently taking the national broker qualification exam. Once I get the certificate, I can start a company. Besides, after so many days, I realize that opening an ordinary store here won't work out. I plan to open a brokerage company specializing in luxury homes." Zhang Qiyuan said confidently.
"Mansion?"
"Yes, now we don't have any foundation in Shanghai, and Qijia Real Estate has no reputation here. Customers will not recognize it at all, and we don't know anything about the properties. So I plan to start from my old business and make house tour videos, specializing in luxury homes. After this place is stabilized and we have enough staff, I will expand the store." Zhang Qiyuan said.
"So what should we do now? We can't keep playing like this, right?" Ni Qingqing said, stroking her hair.
"Don't worry, I have an arrangement. Let's find an agent to rent a house first."
After saying that, Zhang Qiyuan took Ni Qingqing to Pudong New Area. According to the location given by others, he quickly found a Taiping Real Estate store.
After parking the car, Zhang Qiyuan took Ni Qingqing into the store.
"Hello, are you looking to rent or buy a house?"
Seeing Zhang Qiyuan and Ni Qingqing enter the store, a young man on duty at the front immediately stood up and spoke politely.
"Is your general manager here?" Zhang Qiyuan asked.
The Mr. Ga that Zhang Qiyuan mentioned is also a host and is quite famous on Tik Tok. Because he decided to develop in Shanghai, he has been following the real estate hosts in Shanghai for some time, listening to them talk about the property market in Shanghai. Among them, Mr. Ga is quite funny and popular, so Zhang Qiyuan specially gave him a few valuable gifts. After a few interactions, the two became familiar with each other.
"Oh, you are fans of Mr. Ga, right?" the young man said with sudden realization.
"I guess so." Zhang Qiyuan said with a smile.
Hearing Zhang Qiyuan say this, the young man immediately shouted into the store: "Boss Ga, Boss Ga, your fans are looking for you."
As soon as the young man finished speaking, a duck-like voice was heard from inside.
"Where is it? Where is it?"
As footsteps sounded, a short man with slicked-back hair and glasses rushed out.
Zhang Qiyuan looked closely and found that it was Mr. Ga.
"Mr. Ga, I'm your fan. I finally get to meet you in person." Zhang Qiyuan also greeted him like a fan meeting his idol.
When Mr. Ga saw Zhang Qiyuan, he immediately recognized him and said in surprise, "Isn't this Mr. Zhang? You really came to the Magic City?"
After saying that, Mr. Ga looked at Zhang Qiyuan warily and said, "Mr. Zhang, you are not coming to the Magic City to bully us fellow travelers, are you? We can't stand what you did in Seoul?"
"You know all this?" Now it was Zhang Qiyuan's turn to be surprised. He didn't expect that his deeds in Seoul had spread to the Magic City.
Mr. Ga said unhappily, “Nonsense. We are all on Xiaohongshu. Anyone who works in this field has basically heard about what you did in Seoul. After all, this is the first time I’ve seen someone force Beike to lower its agency fees. During the May Day holiday, Xiaohongshu was going crazy about it.”
As he said that, Mr. Ga glared at the young man on duty in front of him and said, "Xiao Liu, you really don't know a great man. Mr. Zhang is the owner of the second largest agency in Seoul. He has more fans in his live broadcast room than I do. Remember to call him Mr. Zhang from now on."
"No, Mr. Ga, I feel a little embarrassed for you to do this. This time I came to you to ask you to help me rent a one- or two-bedroom house near Century Avenue, with better decoration." Zhang Qiyuan said.
"No problem, Xiao Liu, did you hear me? Arrange it for Mr. Zhang." Mr. Ga arranged.
"Okay, I'll find a house right away." Xiao Liu quickly logged into the system and started looking for a house for Zhang Qiyuan.
After looking Zhang Qiyuan up and down, Mr. Ga smiled and said, "Mr. Zhang, since you are here, why don't you accompany me to shoot a video?"
"There's nothing wrong with filming the video, but I have a question. Mr. Ga, can you answer it for me?"
"What's the problem?"
"What's your name? Why do your fans call you Mr. Ga?" Zhang Qiyuan asked curiously.
Hearing this, Ga touched his slicked-back hair and introduced himself: "My last name is Ga, and my name is Ga Yujie. Because of my sexy voice, my fans affectionately call me Ga."
"Isn't it because it sounds like a duck that we call it Mr. Ga?" At this time, Xiao Liu, who was looking for a house on the system, suddenly interrupted.
As soon as these words came out, Ga Yujie froze.
puff!
Ni Qingqing laughed out loud from behind, and Zhang Qiyuan couldn't help but smile as well.
"It does not matter!"
Ga Yujie glared at Xiao Liu fiercely, then looked at Ni Qingqing and said, "This should be my sister-in-law, she is really beautiful. Since you are all here, let's shoot the video together."
After that, he shouted to the back: "Xiao Tang, take your equipment and get ready to go."
Soon, a tall and thin young man came out with filming equipment.
"This is my professional photographer, Tang Kai, Xiao Tang, and this is Mr. Zhang, the guest I invited." Ga Yujie introduced.
"Hello, Mr. Zhang." Tang Kai greeted quickly.
"Hello." Zhang Qiyuan nodded. "Now let's go to the neighborhood next door to shoot a video."
Having said that, Ga Yujie went out.
Zhang Qiyuan and Ni Qingqing followed Ga Yujie out.
Then Ga Yujie pushed an electric bike and walked towards the community.
Zhang Qiyuan glanced at the electric bike. He was quite familiar with it. Basically, Ga Yujie would ride this electric bike in every video. He could be considered a veteran actor.
"This is Xinmei Garden. It has five phases in total and more than 4,000 households. It is considered a relatively large community here, and the average house price is around 90,000." Ga Yujie introduced the community where their store was located to Zhang Qiyuan.
Hearing this, Zhang Qiyuan and Ni Qingqing were immediately shocked.
You have to know that the highest house price he had ever seen in Seoul was only over 40,000. But when he came to Shanghai, the average price of any community was around 90,000, which was directly doubled. No wonder people say that the real estate agents in Shanghai make money. If they sell a house casually, even if they only charge one percentage point, it would be a commission of more than 100,000.
"Have you been showing a lot of properties recently?" Zhang Qiyuan asked.
"It's okay. Now the purchase restriction policy in Shanghai has been relaxed. There are still many people willing to buy houses in Shanghai." said Ga Yujie.
Soon, under the leadership of Ga Yujie, Zhang Qiyuan and Ni Qingqing successfully entered the community.
The houses in the community are not new, but the environment is good. Moreover, because it was noon, the whole community was quite quiet and there were not many passers-by.
"How are we going to shoot later?" Zhang Qiyuan asked.
"Well, it's like this. Wait a minute, we'll shoot my iconic electric car drifting into the venue, and then you, Mr. Zhang, will come on stage and say you're my fan and want to buy a house, and then like this...like this..." Ga Yujie began to explain the script to Zhang Qiyuan.
Zhang Qiyuan listened carefully, but to be honest, he had seen the script that Ga Yujie mentioned on the Internet. However, the stuff on the Internet was all copied from each other. It was indeed a bit difficult to ask Ga Yujie to write a script tailored for him in such a short time.
"Did you hear that clearly?" asked Ga Yujie.
"I heard it clearly." Zhang Qiyuan made an OK gesture.
"OK, Xiao Tang, get ready."
Ga Yujie pushed the electric bike to the entrance of the community and got ready.
After Tang Kai signaled OK, he quickly stepped on the accelerator and rushed towards this side.
Zhang Qiyuan knew that it was his turn to appear, so he quickly walked into the camera. When he saw Ga Yujie driving an electric car, he immediately said in surprise: "Hey, isn't this Mr. Ga? I'm your fan."
Hearing this, Ga Yujie immediately stepped on the brakes and did a drift turn with his electric car in front of Zhang Qiyuan.
The corner of Zhang Qiyuan's mouth twitched slightly. How skilled must one be to pass it in just one try?
"Are you my fan?" Ga Yujie looked at Zhang Qiyuan with some suspicion.
"Yes, Mr. Ka, I am really your fan."
Ga Yujie immediately parked his electric bike, stroked his slicked-back hair, straightened his suit, glanced at Zhang Qiyuan, and said with his leather shoes tapping on the ground, "Fans, are you buying a house?"
“Buy a house!”
Hearing this, Ga Yujie's expression changed, and he slapped his thighs with both hands, and said enthusiastically: "Oh, you should have said it earlier. I, Ga, treat my fans the best. Come on, brother, since you are my fan, you can keep this pack of Huazi first."
As he said that, he took out a pack of cigarettes from his pocket and threw it to Zhang Qiyuan.
Zhang Qiyuan took Huazi in a panic. He now admired Yujie a little. His expressions changed so smoothly.
"Brother, I see you are still single?"
"What nonsense are you talking about? I have a partner."
"Brother, if you don't buy an apartment, how can you please your mother-in-law? As long as you have a small three-bedroom apartment, your life will be smooth from now on, brother." Ga Yujie jumped a little and waved his right arm towards the sky.
"Uh, Mr. Ka, I was actually lying to you. I'm still a single licker."
"Then you should buy a house. Our community is suitable for you. You don't need too much money. You can become a petty bourgeoisie and become a dog-licker. Brother."
"Really? But I have something to do now and I need an electric car." Zhang Qiyuan glanced at Ga Yujie's car with a very precise look.
"Ah? Oh, it's okay, brother. I'll lend you my electric bike."
Ga Yujie immediately pushed the electric bike in front of Zhang Qiyuan.
"That's it..."
After Zhang Qiyuan put away the flower, he rode on Ga Yujie's electric bike. After driving for a while, Zhang Qiyuan shouted loudly: "You salesmen are just deceiving ghosts. Mr. Ga, see you again if we are lucky enough."
Ga Yujie was stunned at first, but then he quickly reacted and chased after Zhang Qiyuan.
"Brother, if you don't buy a house, return Huazi and the electric car to me. Stop the car, stop the car, you beast!"
"Crack!"
At this time, Tang Kai shouted.
Hearing this, Zhang Qiyuan immediately turned around and went back. When parking the car, he also wanted to do a drift turn, a turn, and then step on the front brake.
"Hey hey..."
Zhang Qiyuan turned in a hurry and sat down on the ground.
"Mr. Zhang, are you okay?"
Ga Yujie was a little worried at first, but when he saw Zhang Qiyuan sitting on the ground, he suddenly found it a little funny. However, he was too embarrassed to laugh in front of Zhang Qiyuan, so he could only hold it back and asked with concern.
"It's okay, it's okay. I just wanted to try out Mr. Ka's drift turn, but I didn't expect it to be a bit difficult." Zhang Qiyuan smiled embarrassedly.
"Ha, I practiced this drift and U-turn many times before I could do it smoothly. Mr. Zhang, it will definitely not work for you on your first try." Ga Yujie said with a smile.
"Mr. Zhang, I'm still recording this video. This scene is quite funny. We won't cut it out when the time comes. Is that okay?" Tang Kai said at this time.
"No problem, I don't mind."
Zhang Qiyuan said generously that although it was a bit embarrassing just now, if this video was released, it would definitely bring him a certain amount of traffic.
