(I originally wanted to take advantage of today's weekend to be lazy and update a chapter with some meaning. Unexpectedly, a new leader was born. Thank you to the new leader. I like your generous support... There will be another update later...)
The current business received by Baocheng Accounting Firm can barely sustain the rent, water, electricity, and wages of the two employees. Chen Feng and Zhang Li were a little discouraged after struggling with their ambitions for nearly a year, and they still had to pay 200,000 yuan.
They all thought that after the New Year, if the company continued to show no improvement, they would simply close the company and the couple would find another job. Their combined annual salary would be almost 200,000 yuan.
Receiving this big order suddenly today seemed like a dose of stimulant. Chen Feng and Zhang Li were excited for several hours. After get off work, they dragged Song Yuqing to Tianzifang for dinner and thanked them again.
Chen Feng received Cao Mo's text message at this time. After reading it for a while, he asked Song Yuqing hesitantly: "Is that Cao Mo doing a good job in Africa?"
"Didn't I tell you earlier? Even though he is dressed like a migrant worker, he has done a lot in Africa, and he has hinted that you should raise a higher price. However, what exactly will he do?
, I’m not very clear either. As you know, Shen Ji from the Overseas Department of our group is Ding Zhaoqiang’s nephew, and we have a good personal relationship with him - and Chen Rong, the director of our group, also has a personal relationship with his family.”
Song Yuqing was talking half-truths and half-false nonsense. Seeing Chen Feng still staring at the phone, she asked in confusion, "What's wrong?"
Chen Feng showed the text message on his mobile phone to Song Yuqing and his wife Zhang Li: "This old house is priced at more than 8 million, and the bargaining price is very limited. I passed by Zhang Li two days ago and was still sighing when I saw it.
Buying this house will make life worth living. He wants to buy it in full..."
"How much assets will he get if he pays the full price for this house? It doesn't look like it in the afternoon. If I estimate it too high, I would think that the income would be one to two million a year." Zhang Li's eyes widened and she took it.
Chen Feng's mobile phone confirmed that it was a text message sent by Cao Mo just now.
Chen Feng said with some pain: "I doubt that the price I quoted at noon was too low. According to this situation, the trading company has to balance the taxes and profits on both sides, and the business volume cannot be too low! It seems that we can
I asked him for a part-time job payment. Also, is he really only twenty-two years old?"
"You signed the agreement and didn't copy the ID card?" Song Yuqing pretended to be confused and said, "I was transferred to the West Africa branch much later than him, so I didn't even have a chance to see his ID card. Anyway, others said he was twenty-two years old.
, it shouldn’t be fake.”
"What was he doing in Africa? Did he dig for gold or rob banks? Africa is so easy to make money?" Chen Feng asked with some pain.
"They seem to be really involved in gold mining, but I don't know the specific situation. I was transferred to Africa too late." Song Yuqing only picked Yang Deshan, and Xie Sipeng and others knew the news and revealed it to Chen Feng and his wife.
"Oh, forget it, some people are lucky, so we can only do the work of serving people," Chen Feng sighed and said quite resignedly, "Thanks to these 200,000, it is possible for us Baocheng to survive.
Otherwise, it would be really difficult for us. When I think about it, I was a little impulsive and too confident when I started a business..."
Song Yuqing couldn't say how Cao Mo became successful in Kanem. It was enough for Chen Feng to have such an awareness.

…………
Cao Mo was immediately pleased to have someone sent to do the work.
Chen Feng was indeed very capable and efficient. He contacted the agency the next day to obtain the information about the old house, checked the property rights, living conditions and other information, and also obtained the landlord's contact information.
A house worth around 8 million in 2005 is considered a luxury house. It is safer to trade through an intermediary, but the transaction costs are high.
Obtaining the landlord's contact information is not necessarily to bypass the intermediary and conduct private transactions, but it can also be used to reduce transaction costs.
As long as the landlord has not signed an exclusive agency agreement with the intermediary company, and the intermediary is unwilling to compromise on transaction fees, then there is no need to worry about legal disputes by simply bypassing the intermediary.
Chen Feng also checked the qualifications of the intermediary company - no matter what, for the first service of 200,000 yuan per year, he had to perform at a very professional level.
After completing the preparations, Chen Feng made an appointment with the agency staff and the landlord, and then took Cao Mo into the yard to see the condition of the house.
The landlord is a seventy-year-old gentleman. His daughter, son-in-law, son, and daughter-in-law working in the United States are unwilling to return to China to develop. He is getting older, and after some mental struggle, he decided to move to the United States to reunite with his family. What will happen after he leaves?
In the past, whether it was renting or selling, this house had to be dealt with properly and it could not be left empty.
The traditional saying is that a house cannot remain empty for too long, it needs to be inhabited and popular.
Especially old houses actually need someone to clean them up from time to time so that the condition of the house will not get worse.
The house had just been renovated at a cost of 300,000 yuan the year before last. There was not much luxury inside. It even kept the style of the original building as simple and simple as possible, and added sanitary facilities, which were all in line with Cao Mo's aesthetics.
The house is a traditional Shikumen building, but it is a rare three-bay house. There are wing rooms on the left and right sides of the front and back yard. There is also a two-bay back shed on the back patio. There are a total of twelve rooms. The number of rooms alone is more than
Cao Mo's family had twice as many people.
This was the residence of wealthy families who fled from Jiangsu and Zhejiang to Xinhai. The beams, bricks, doors and windows were all made of the same kind as Cao Mo's house, which was the residence of middle- and lower-class citizens in the city. It was much more elegant.
The traditional old-style building has compact rooms, but they are more spacious than Cao Mo's house. The building area is more than 260 square meters, and the front yard and back patio are very small.
The back patio is next to Qingjietang, with a water platform connected to the river. In the early years, it was a place where rice was washed and washed, and boats could also be parked.
The landlord is an old teacher. His daughter and son studied in the United States in the late 1980s and stayed in the United States to work. They have good economic conditions and are well-educated. They live well and the house is well-kept. There are several pots in the front and back of the yard to raise two or three children.
Ten years of potted plants have made the entire courtyard look very elegant.
It's no wonder that Jiaying likes this place and wants to rent it as a B&B on a long-term basis.
The landlord offered a price of 8 million, which is equivalent to 30,000 per square meter. This is the current price of villas and top-level apartments in Xinhai's second ring road, and it is daunting for ordinary citizens.
Cao Mo thought it was completely acceptable.
The key is that when you live in such a house, you have to maintain the original style and don't need to spend any extra money on interior decoration.
The old man was eager to sell, and Cao Mo wanted to go abroad to complete the transfer procedures. After two hours of talking, the house price was raised to 7.6 million, and at the same time, the agency fee they should bear was raised to 40,000. Cao Mo also intuitively
When I felt that I was almost reaching the other party's limit, I rushed directly to the agency to sign the agreement.
Cao Mo also directly transferred the advance payment of 760,000 and the agency fee of 40,000 into the account of the agency company, and agreed to go to the real estate transaction center to transfer the property in a week, and then pay the remaining payment directly at the transfer site.

"This is the end of the conversation. You didn't even think about it and just paid the deposit?" Song Yuqing had Zhang Lida inform her. In the afternoon, she saw Cao Mo wandering back to the company and walked over and asked curiously, "You
Are you going to the vegetable market to buy some vegetables to take home?"
"You are so willful when you have money! I asked you to go with me, but you refused to go," Cao Mo shrugged and said, "If you are not satisfied in the future, don't blame me."
"Go, it's none of my business. You want to waste your own money as much as you want," Song Yuqing glanced at Cao Mo, "I'm just curious that you are such a stingy person. You don't want to drag out such a big deal for several days.
Lowering the price?”
"Tianzifang is less than one kilometer away from my home. How could I not be familiar with the houses there?" Cao Mo said, leaning on his office chair with his head in his arms, "When I was a child, I was particularly envious of the house next to Qingjietang. There was a time when I was very envious of the house.
I have been thinking all day about what it would be like to sit on the back patio and put a fishing rod into the river to fish - there are not many houses like this for sale in Tianzifang market now. It is a rare opportunity to catch this opportunity. If I
Hesitate, let others get there first, don't you regret it to death? Just treat it as fulfilling a childhood dream, it doesn't matter if you have a hundred or eighty thousand!"
After hearing what Cao Mo said, Song Yuqing also showed a look of yearning.
"How about I get the key from the agency and we can sneak over and take a look?" Cao Mo tempted Song Yuqing.
"No." Song Yuqing knew what Cao Mo was thinking. As long as there was no one around, Cao Mo liked to do something. She would not fall for Cao Mo's deception.
"Oh, that house is really nice." Cao Mo said.
"I met someone in the company today who looks very much like him. Who do you think he is?" Song Yuqing asked at this time.
"Who?"
Song Yuqing did not pretend to be mysterious, and was even quite shocked and confused inside.
Cao Mo was a little confused as to who could make Song Yuqing react like this.
"This person really misses little Tubman's sister Starlee! I had something to go to the real estate department in the afternoon, and I almost thought I had missed it, so I didn't even dare to recognize it - but Starlee has long brown hair, and I met her today.
She is a blond girl, but her face is similar. I passed by her, and she didn’t react when she looked at me. She must have just some similarities - when I look at foreigners’ faces, I am somewhat face-blind," Song Yuqing said, "
If Stali hadn't been caught by the Jidam family, she should have returned to Xinhai University to study at this time, right?"
Cao Mo regretted not contacting Stari immediately after returning home, but this girl actually came to his door!
"It can't be Starlie - she got into such a big disaster in Draculamore, why did she escape to China and wander around instead of studying honestly?" Cao Mo shook his head and asked pretending to be curious,
"Hey, why is the real estate department recruiting foreign employees now? It's impossible for them to go overseas to develop real estate, right?"
He didn't tell Song Yuqing about helping Starlie escape from Draculamore, for fear that she would be under greater psychological pressure in front of Zhou Han.
And since I lied at the beginning, it seems that now is not the time to confess?
"I heard that the real estate department's new property is for sale, and they have temporarily hired a few models. This girl should be here today to apply for part-time jobs," Song Yuqing, as a goddess-level existence in the overseas department, is able to inquire about gossip faster than Cao
Mo Mo is ten thousand times faster, "If Starlie can escape to China to continue her studies, the Jidam family will have nothing to do with her. The Jidam family is not short of money, so they shouldn't need her to stand up and make money. By the way, you
Have you had any contact with Starlie since?"
If you have contact, you won’t come to your door!
Cao Mo wanted to slap himself, but he could only tell Song Yuqing that what Stari was involved in was very dangerous. They didn't know Stari when they returned to Xinhai, so why bother to contact such a dangerous person?
Although Song Yuqing didn't know about Cao Mo rescuing Starly and escaping, she also knew what kind of existence the Jidamu family was in Draculamore. She nodded and said, "Yes, we still have to go back to Draculamore."
Yes, everything is in a mess now - if nothing happens, it would be better to forget about each other..."
