I panicked and almost couldn't hold my phone steady.
Just when An Lan walked up to me, I quickly exited the WeChat interface and opened Douyin with my backhand.
An Lan looked at my phone, frowned and said, "I asked you to come and see the house, why did you start looking at Douyin?"
"Uh... aren't you watching?"
An Lan suddenly felt a little disappointed and said, "I asked you to come here to watch it together. What's wrong with you!"
"I just opened Douyin, and I've already seen it, right?"
An Lan snorted and asked me, "Tell me, among the apartment types we just looked at, which one are you satisfied with?"
I smiled and said, "I think they're all the same, there's not much difference."
An Lan then rolled his eyes at me and said, "If I said it, I didn't say it."
"No, I really think they are all the same. If I had to say which one I am more satisfied with, it would be the third set. I like the decoration style of the third set better."
An Lan was silent for a while and said: "Well, I think the decoration style of the third set is very good. I also like the color scheme, which is simple and elegant... and there is also a small platform, and I am quite satisfied with the decoration on the platform."
I nodded and replied, "Yes, the decoration of that house is more simple, and the overall style is more in line with the position of young people. Just now Xiaoman was saying that she also liked that house."
With that said, I lowered my head and asked Xiao Man next to me: "Really? Xiao Man."
Xiaoman nodded and said, "Well, Dad, I like that house."
After thinking deeply, An Lan said, "Then let me ask about the price of that house."
As she spoke, she walked towards the real estate consultant and asked her: "Ms. Lu, I would like to ask, what is the price of the third apartment we just looked at?"
At this time, I finally breathed a sigh of relief, and I didn't dare to look at my phone anymore.
He quickly took out his phone and set the ringtone to silent without looking at what Su Tao said.
Until An Lan called me and I walked over to her, she said to me: "The third apartment we just looked at has a total price of 6.3 million, with an independent garage and swimming pool."
This price is not expensive among villas, it can only be considered a mid-range price.
I thought for a while and asked the business consultant: "Isn't it less?"
"Sir, our company can reduce the handling fees and stamp taxes for you, including all transfer fees, which will be borne by our company, but..."
She paused and said: "We did not set the total price of the house, so we cannot reduce this price for you. I hope you can understand."
In other words, this 6.3 million must be paid when the payment is full, but some handling fees and stamp duties are exempted.
I asked again: "What about the deed tax?"
After taking a look at the information in his hand, the real estate consultant said to me: "Sir, the apartment type you are interested in has a total construction area of 190 square meters, and you need to pay 3% of the total price, which is..."
She quickly took out her phone and started calculating.
An Lan said, "A total of 189,000."
The real estate consultant finally figured it out, then showed an embarrassed smile and said: "Yes, it's 189,000."
I took a deep breath and said, "Can this part of the money be reduced?"
The real estate consultant said with a helpless look: "Sir, this is the deed tax, which we cannot do without. You need to pay it yourself."
"Then can't you share some of it with us appropriately? The total price of the house is 6.3 million. I accept this amount. I just want you to help me reduce the deed tax appropriately."
"Sir, this... we really can't do without it, and we have already exempted you from the stamp duty fee."
Of course I know these sales tactics. Even so, they still make money, and they make a lot of money.
I didn't want to embarrass her, a part-time worker, so I turned to her and said, "Let's do this. Give me your boss's contact information and I'll talk to your boss directly."
She hesitated for a while, took out her mobile phone and dialed a number, then said to the person on the other end of the phone: "Manager Wei, there is a customer here in Jiangzhou Bay who wants to talk to you. Is it convenient for you now? Well, okay.
OK."
After saying that, she handed me the phone and said with a smile: "This is our manager."
I took her cell phone and went straight to the point without beating around the bush:
"Hello, Manager Wei! I have chosen a villa here. The total price of the house is 6.3 million. Your staff has made it clear to me that they will give us a meeting fee and stamp duty... But I
I wonder if you can help me reduce some of the deed tax?"
"Hello, sir, the villas over Jiangzhou Bay are all new properties. We can't help you reduce the deed tax. You have to bear the money yourself, sir. We can give you some furniture and appliances as appropriate."
I laughed and said, "Manager Wei, if you say that, you won't be able to communicate! I'm not asking you to give it all away, but just help me share a part. I will pay you whatever the total price of the house is, and it won't be a penny less.
How about just calling me a friend?"
After being silent for a while, Manager Wei said to me: "Okay sir, I just calculated that you need to pay a deed tax of 189,000, and I can help you reduce it by 9,000."
I sighed and said, "Manager Wei, I've made it very clear. The total price of the house is a lot. If you give me nine thousand less, it might as well be a lot."
After a pause, I said again; "Since Manager Wei is having a hard time handling it, I'll find another company to bother Manager Wei."
"Wait a minute, Mr. Chen, we can all talk. So, what do you think is appropriate?"
I didn't hesitate and said directly: "How about you bear the 89,000?"
"Mr. Chen, you are exaggerating! We have already reduced the handling fee and stamp duty for you."
"Manager Wei, to tell you the truth, I know the contractor in Jiangzhou Bay. The reason why I didn't go to this friend directly was because I didn't want to trouble him... But, Manager Wei, you guys who are in the real estate business should also deal with builders.
When you make a friend, I will also mention your name, Manager Wei, to this friend in the future."
I have understood what I said, and I am not bragging. I have already learned about the villa area in Jiangzhou Bay, and it was invested by Cai Xuesong's Zhongsheng Construction.
I can definitely go to Cai Xuesong directly, but I don't want to trouble him because I know that his current situation is also very difficult.
After a period of silence, Manager Wei finally said: "Mr. Chen, since you have said it all, let me tell you. The total price of the house is indeed higher than the original price... This
Eighty-nine thousand, just treat it as a friend."
"Manager Wei, you are right to think so. In doing business, you must know how to be flexible. Thank you very much, Manager Wei."
I returned the phone to the real estate consultant and finally settled the deal for 6.4 million.
In fact, I know that even so, they still make money.
It’s just that I may not earn much. I am a businessman, so I will naturally maximize my profits.
After following the real estate consultant to their company, I first paid a deposit of 1 million, and the remaining 5.4 million will be paid on the day when the house is handed over.
I don’t have that much money on hand now, so I discussed with An Lan to go to Chengdu to resell the villa.
We didn't waste any time, so we took advantage of this weekend and drove directly to Chengdu that afternoon.
I stopped by to see old friends and the two brothers and sisters Cheng Xiaohu.
