Chapter 434: Enduring Hardships, the Boss Changes to Land Rover
"As long as you are willing to endure the hardship, your boss will buy you a Land Rover tomorrow. As long as you work overtime hard enough, your boss will buy you a Maybach. As long as you are positive and hardworking, your boss will buy you a Ferrari. It is better to rely on yourself than on anyone else. Working is the hard truth."
On the way back to Seoul, Zhang Qiyuan happily hummed the jokes he saw on Tik Tok.
He felt the same way, of course he felt the same way as his boss.
His main purpose of returning to Seoul this time was to pay off the mortgage on his house in advance and to reward his employees. After all, whether he could buy a Ferrari in the future still depended on them.
At the same time, his store in Sanlin is about to open, and Zhang Qiyuan plans to transfer someone from Seoul to be the store manager.
Although Jiang Yuan has done a good job, not all store managers of his directly-operated stores can be Jiang Yuan's people. This has nothing to do with the issue of trust or not, but is also for the long-term consideration of the Magic City.
Sometimes human nature cannot stand the test. Once the Magic City branch is full of Jiang Yuan's people, and Jiang Yuan suddenly has the idea of replacing him, there will definitely be big problems in Magic City. Even if Jiang Yuan does not have this idea, it is not impossible for his subordinates to take over.
Being a boss also requires a balance.
As for the candidate, Zhang Qiyuan already had an arrangement in mind.
"After I return to Seoul this time, I won't go to the Magic City." said Ni Qingqing, who was sitting in the passenger seat.
"What's wrong? Didn't you insist on going to the Magic City with me before? Why are you suddenly not going this time?" Zhang Qiyuan asked puzzledly.
"I don't have many friends over there. Several female colleagues in the company treat me as the boss's wife. Besides, I'm not familiar with the real estate in Shanghai, and I can't do my business well. I feel like a vase staying in the company all the time. I feel more comfortable here in Seoul." Ni Qingqing glanced at Zhang Qiyuan and said.
The reason why she had insisted on following Zhang Qiyuan to the Magic City was mainly because she was afraid that Zhang Qiyuan would attract a lot of men. But after watching Zhang Qiyuan for the past few months, she found that he was a complete workaholic, and her worries seemed a bit unnecessary.
"Okay, it's just right that you can help me keep an eye on things in Seoul." Zhang Qiyuan thought about it and nodded.
Although I am a little reluctant to part with Ni Qingqing, since Ni Qingqing is not comfortable in Shanghai, I might as well go back to Seoul.
After Zhang Qiyuan got off the highway, it was already five o'clock in the afternoon. Zhang Qiyuan was the first to return to the Xingcheng Jingyuan store.
The main thing was to let Yang Hao go. He no longer lived in the house he rented. It happened that the Xingcheng Jingyuan store hired two new people, so Zhang Qiyuan directly left the house to them as a staff dormitory, and his master bedroom was left to Yang Hao.
After parking the car, Zhang Qiyuan took Ni Qingqing, Yang Hao and the other two into the Xingcheng Jingyuan store. Sitting at the front desk was a new agent who looked about the same age as Wang Qun and the others, and looked quite young.
Seeing Zhang Qiyuan and others coming in, he hurriedly stood up and said in a panic: "Hello, are you renting or buying a house?"
"How much is the price per square meter in your community now?" Zhang Qiyuan asked with interest.
"The average price here is around 16500 now," Zhang Xin said quickly.
Zhang Qiyuan was a little surprised. He didn't expect that the housing prices in Xingcheng Jingyuan community have remained stable at this price during this period.
Just when Zhang Qiyuan was about to ask him what houses he had, Li Xin heard the noise and walked out.
"Brother Zhang, are you back in Seoul?"
Li Xin was somewhat surprised when he saw Zhang Qiyuan.
"Well, I'm back here to take care of some things. I looked at the performance report during the National Day period and saw that you opened two house sales orders, which is not bad." Zhang Qiyuan looked at Li Xin with a look of satisfaction.
It can be said that it was Li Xin who was with the Shang family when he was there. It has been two years now. Li Xin has finally transformed from a novice into an agent who closed two orders during the National Day holiday.
"hey-hey."
Li Xin smiled foolishly, then saw Zhang Xin next to him was a little confused, and his face suddenly became serious and said: "Xiao Zhang, what's your eyesight? Brother Zhang is the boss of our Qijia Real Estate, call him boss."
Zhang Xin widened his eyes in shock.
After he joined Qijia Real Estate, Dean Zhang, who was in charge of training at the company, had been using Mr. Zhang's story to inspire them. He said that before Mr. Zhang became an agent, he could not even pay his mortgage, but after becoming an agent, he earned enough to buy a Mercedes-Benz with one order. Moreover, after starting the company, he made Qijia Real Estate the second largest agency in Seoul in just two years.
To be honest, these young people who have just joined the company simply regard Zhang Qiyuan as their idol.
Unexpectedly, the idol appeared in front of him, but he didn't recognize him.
"Hello, Mr. Zhang, I'm sorry..." Zhang Xin said quickly.
"It's okay. Is your last name Zhang too?"
As Zhang Qiyuan spoke, he glanced at Li Xin. When Li Xin called him "Xiao Zhang" just now, he subconsciously wanted to agree, but he reacted quickly and knew that even if Li Xin had ten thousand guts, he would not dare to call him that.
"Yes."
"Yes, we have the same surname and were one family five hundred years ago."
Zhang Qiyuan smiled and then asked Li Xin: "Is Xiao Zhang your apprentice?"
"Yes, now I have been an experienced agent for more than two years, and I am qualified to take apprentices." Li Xin said with his chest puffed out.
At this moment, Wang Yong, Sister He, Huang Yi, Li Hong and others who heard the noise all ran out.
"Qi Yuan!"
"Qi Yuan!"
"boss Zhang!"
Several people greeted him.
"Not bad. Everyone's business has been doing well recently, so I came back specially to reward everyone. The company will organize a team-building event in a few days, and everyone will have a good time." Zhang Qiyuan said.
"Qi Yuan, are houses in Shanghai still easy to sell? I heard that any house there costs more than 10 million yuan." Huang Yi asked.
"Fortunately, the central city does have this price, but the prices in the surrounding areas are much lower, and there are also old and dilapidated houses for more than 3 million yuan."
"I saw your previous video, and it seemed like you were almost beaten. Are all the agents in Shanghai so fierce? They were about to beat people up? It feels similar to what happened in Seoul five or six years ago." Huang Yi asked curiously.
Zhang Qiyuan didn't know what the real estate agents in Seoul were like five or six years ago, but he could roughly guess.
After all, once there are more intermediary companies, the competition will be fiercer and conflicts will be more likely to arise.
"That's about right. Master Huang, are you interested in being a store manager in Shanghai?" Zhang Qiyuan looked at Huang Yi and said.
Huang Yi was exactly the store manager he wanted. First of all, Huang Yi's current status made it difficult to manage the several stores in Seoul. Although he gave Huang Yi an idle position as the company's brand manager before he left, it certainly could not satisfy Huang Yi.
Secondly, most of the old people who have been with him since the founding of the company now have families. Even Qu Feng is now with Li Qian. If he goes to Shanghai, he definitely cannot bring his family with him, so Huang Yi is the most suitable candidate.
"Yes, I just happened to hear that there are a lot of rich women in Shanghai. I'd like to go there and see if I can hook up with one?" Huang Yi's eyes lit up and he agreed immediately.
He said he wanted to hook up with a rich woman, but actually it was mainly because his current position in Qijia Real Estate was very awkward. Wang Yong and Qu Feng, who had followed Zhang Qiyuan before, were now store managers, managing a group of people, and he seemed a bit out of place, neither high nor low.
He had wanted to be a store manager for a long time, but Zhang Qiyuan had never opened any direct-operated stores, and if he became a partner, he would not have many people under him, so when Zhang Qiyuan invited him to go to Shanghai to be a store manager, he agreed immediately.
"Okay, this matter is settled."
Zhang Qiyuan looked at the time and said, "It's time for dinner now, let's go have a meal together."
As he said that, Zhang Qiyuan called Qu Feng, Lu Jia, Luo Gang and others, asking them to come to Wanjia Villa for dinner.
……
Magic City.
After Zhang Qiyuan returned to Seoul, Jiang Yuan took what Zhang Qiyuan said very seriously. He thought Zhang Qiyuan's idea was really amazing.
He would never have thought of combining the personal stores in Shanghai.
It’s no wonder that Zhang Qiyuan is so young but his company is so big. There is a reason for it.
Moreover, the implementation of this matter is not as difficult as imagined. After all, it is a mutually beneficial thing.
Individual stores can enjoy the housing resources of Qijia Real Estate's platform and other stores without spending any money, and Qijia Real Estate can also quickly accumulate housing resources and establish its brand through these individual stores.
Once Qijia Real Estate incorporates these individual stores into the company system, they will be able to become the sixth-ranked real estate agency in Shanghai.
Ever since he was forced to resign from Lianjia and experienced that period of unemployment, he hated Lianjia to the core. He was very happy to be able to put Lianjia in a bad light at the city level.
And once he accomplishes this task, he will basically be the person in charge of Qijia Real Estate's Shanghai branch.
So before he got off work, he had already called several store owners he knew and invited them to have a drink together.
Among them are his former colleagues at Taiping, Yijia, Zhongyuan and Lianjia. They have all been in the industry for about the same time as him, and some have even been longer than him.
In Shanghai, after working as a real estate agent for a long time, they either become anchors or real estate influencers like Zhang Qiyuan, or open their own shops. The people he invited all opened their own shops, and their performance was mediocre. After all, if the performance was good, they might look down on the current Qijia Real Estate, and if the performance was poor, they would not be able to survive in Shanghai.
With such neither-so-good nor-bad performance, companies like these urgently need to find ways to improve their performance, and this initiative of Qijia Real Estate can bring them new opportunities.
Jiang Yuan specially booked a relatively well-known hotel in Shanghai. After all, this was a business dinner and he could ask the company to reimburse him.
After get off work, Jiang Yuan first called his wife to inform her that he had a social engagement in the evening and would not be going home for dinner.
Then he arrived at the hotel early, ordered the dishes, and waited for the people he invited to come.
Soon, Jiang Yuan received a call from a friend.
After I told my friend about the private room, he arrived five minutes later.
"Mr. Jiang, I haven't seen you for a long time. I haven't heard from you since you resigned from Lianjia. Why are you suddenly inviting me to drink?" Feng Hui asked curiously as soon as he entered the door.
"It's been a long time since we last met. It should be about two years, right? That time I went to your store to look around and we had a chat there, and we haven't met since then. How is your store doing? How is your store's performance recently?" Jiang Yuan said with a smile.
"It's just average. Nowadays, everyone is more interested in brand companies. Our small store can only reduce the agency fees to make deals. We can barely support our family by relying on recommendations from old customers." Feng Hui said.
"Mr. Feng, you are too modest."
"You are so rude. Take this National Day for example. I had a client recommended by an old client. But I don't know which anchor watched a video and was told that small real estate agencies are unreliable and have poor quality. As a result, the client insisted on going to Lianjia to sign the contract. I was so angry." Feng Hui said angrily.
Hearing this, Jiang Yuan's face looked a little strange. If he guessed correctly, the anchor Feng Hui was talking about might be Zhang Qiyuan.
Just when Jiang Yuan was about to speak, two more shop owners came over and he hurriedly offered them cigarettes.
Soon, all six store owners he had made an appointment with arrived, and he quickly signaled to the waiter to serve the dishes.
Then he took out the Moutai he had brought with him.
"Oh, Old Jiang, you've been doing pretty well lately, even getting into Moutai. I heard that you resigned from Lianjia. Where did you make your fortune?" Seeing that Jiang Yuan had booked such a good hotel and taken out such good wine, someone immediately asked.
Although they knew Jiang Yuan, they were not very familiar with him. Most of them were Jiang Yuan's former colleagues in other agencies. After working there for a long time, they opened their own shops.
After Jiang Yuan went to Lianjia as the business district manager, he had less contact with them. After all, they were a personal store, and it was inevitable that there were some properties that they did not have but had a higher cost-performance ratio. They would ask Jiang Yuan about the properties before, but as the number of times increased, Jiang Yuan's contact with them became less frequent.
After all, most of the time they were the ones who asked Jiang Yuan for houses, and Jiang Yuan rarely came to them. This one-sided relationship would definitely not last long.
They also heard about the big incident that Jiang Yuan caused later, but it was not easy for them to go to Jiang Yuan to inquire about the situation.
Firstly, their relationship was not that close yet, and secondly, they were afraid of rubbing salt into Jiang Yuan’s wounds.
"Haha, I'm destined to be an employee, how can I get rich? I'll ask the company to reimburse me for today's meal and wine." Jiang Yuan laughed and turned the topic to the company.
"What does this have to do with us?" Feng Hui asked.
Jiang Yuan nodded slightly and said, "I wonder if you have heard of Qijia Real Estate?"
"Qi Family Real Estate?"
Several people were stunned for a moment, and after looking at each other, one of them asked tentatively: "Are you talking about the Qijia Real Estate in Seoul that put Shell in a passive position?"
"good."
Seeing that some of them had heard of Qijia Real Estate, Jiang Yuan immediately felt relieved and nodded with a smile.
"Qijia Real Estate has now settled in Shanghai, and I am now the business director of Qijia Real Estate. I invited you here this time mainly because I have something good to tell you."
