Summer in the imperial capital is coming with great momentum.
It was just after May Day, and the chirping of cicadas on the street trees was accompanied by the sunshine above our heads. Looking around, there was not a single shady spot in the middle of the day.
The agency boy Wu Ming hung up the phone, looked at the lunch box in front of him before he could move, and quickly took two bites into his mouth. He put on his hat here, and then went out with a big bag and hat on his back.
The new employee who just came to apply was trembling:
"Brother, is our work so hard?"
There was another sentence that I thought was inappropriate but I didn’t ask: “Then why is the basic salary only 2,000?”
Following him was his fellow countryman, and the old employee quickly comforted him:
"How can you work so hard? Who can look after the house when it's so hot in the middle of the day? They usually make appointments at other times——"
After thinking about their situation when chasing results, I finally felt guilty and added one more sentence:
"Even if the appointment is at noon, there will be no delay in eating."
"Brother Ming, you have no choice. The burden is heavy, so you can only work hard to place orders."
New employees show sympathy:
"Is that so... is it because the family has a heavy burden? Oh, me too. My mother just wants me to make more money to build a house and marry a wife."
Several employees gathered together to pick up the vegetables in the lunch box in front of them. At this moment, they couldn't help but said half mockingly, half complicatedly:
"Wu Ming, that kid, doesn't he deserve the pressure he puts on himself?"
"Yeah, without that diamond, without that porcelain job - how much money do you have? How dare you buy a house in the imperial capital!"
"Have you heard that just this household registration was given to us because of how many years we have worked in our company, and how many years we have been employed as an employee?"
The voice gradually dropped: "I heard it cost ten or twenty thousand!"
Oops!
Everyone looked at each other, one or two thousand was still worth money at this time.
"Why did I hear that it was purchased in Tong County and it would not be stuck in the household registration?"
Finally, the older man waved his hand and updated his first-hand information in real time:
"Your news is so old."
"Xiao Wu was still crying last night, saying that he shouldn't go crazy with his client - he bought a house in Tong County, an old house of 85 square meters, and he paid the full price! All the deposits were wiped out."
"But last month, didn't the price increase in Tongxian County go up a bit? He thought the price of the house was going to go up, so he took out a loan for the first house, then he used connections to get a household registration, and paid a down payment near the Third Ring Road -"
"This time it's even smaller, 80 square meters, and the down payment will completely wipe out the loan money."
There was silence in the room, and there was no sound.
It took a long time before someone spoke with trepidation——
"He is so brave!"
Who says it’s not!
Everyone shook their heads in unison, half gloating, half sad and envious as they pondered:
"Xiao Wu is quite good at hiding!"
"Yeah, I haven't heard anything - by the way, he got a loan of four to five million from the bank, right?"
The new employee counted on his fingers and found that it was already six figures——
It will pay off in the year of the monkey and the month of the horse!
Finally someone came to the conclusion:
"Should!"
"Look at him, he didn't show off and bought a house in the imperial capital - he bought it on the edge of Tong County. What's the difference between this and returning to our hometown in the countryside?"
"Yes, I usually don't give up food or clothing. Now all my savings are used as a down payment. I heard that I need this amount to repay a bank loan every month--"
Someone stretched out his hand and made a gesture, causing the newly hired employee to gasp in fright:
"3000 yuan?!!"
3,000 yuan is an astronomical number.
After all, their current basic salary is only 2,000, which does not include food or housing. They can maintain food and clothing without making one or two orders every month.
Everyone held their lunch boxes, each savoring the sadness and happiness of the two apartments. At this moment, they could only shake their heads and come to the final conclusion——
"He's so brave!"
…
As everyone knows, Wu Ming is regretting it now.
You shouldn't be impulsive and keep thinking about what that rich college student said - if someone buys a house and someone else's sister buys a house, what does it have to do with you being an intermediary?
He must have gone crazy that night because he kept thinking about "give it a try and turn your bicycle into a motorcycle"...
There are no motorcycles now, and riding a battery-powered bike in the summer is quite hard anyway.
Sweat dripped down his chin, and Wu Ming swallowed his mouth full of sadness before he found a middle-aged man at the door of a cold drink shop who wanted to check out the house.
"Sorry, I've been waiting for so long..."
The other party was also a little impatient because of the heat, but when he saw Wu Ming's chest and back were wet, he didn't know what to say, so he just opened his mouth and said:
"Okay, then take me to see the house quickly. I have to go to work at 3:00."
It's almost 1 o'clock now, and we still have half an hour to return.
Wu Ming quickly opened his backpack:
"Don't worry, we have enough time at noon - and there are two communities nearby. I can take you on an electric bike later. We can look at 4 houses at noon. All the information is here."
This time, the customer was stunned.
"I, I only like this one..."
Wu Ming felt bitter - it would be good not to give the customer a chance to hesitate, but this customer only looked at one house at a time, and his demand for buying a house was very strong, and he would not have enough money on hand...
In short, I couldn’t get a single order during the May Day holiday, so now I have to get it!
I still have a mortgage of 3,000 yuan this month, and the house in Tong County needs to be renovated before it can be rented out...
The poor laborer with only 125 left in his pocket diligently climbed to the 7th floor with his customers.
The lack of elevators in the old community is really fatal!
The client's white shirt was also soaked with sweat.
When he opened the door and took a look, the other person frowned again - it was an old house, long and narrow, and the lighting was quite average.
But it's still so hot on the top floor...
Middle-aged men are also quite depressed:
"Are you saying that money is worthless now? When I was a child, households worth ten thousand yuan were famous. Now, it is really difficult to find a suitable house with a down payment of 200,000 yuan!"
The agency guy is here, casually opening the folder:
"It's okay, good things come in hard times - look at this apartment again. Although it is a little smaller, it has an elevator on the 8th floor and faces south..."
At noon, Wu Ming still couldn't hide his regret when he viewed 4 apartments in a row and the client said he would consider it when he went back.
"Okay, you can think about it slowly, but to tell you the truth, I also bought a house with a loan a while ago - when our agency listed the house, it cost 7,100 per square meter. Because the property fee is high, it will be gone for a while.
Let’s talk about it——”
"Guess what?"
"In just three months, when I bought it, the transaction price was 8,000 per square meter."
"Buying a house is a big deal and needs to be considered carefully - but look, what could a dime buy 20 years ago? What can a dime buy now?"
"Now I think the loan is expensive. If I wait another 20 years, I might not even get a dime."
The middle-aged man wiped the sweat from his forehead and smiled bitterly:
"Aren't I afraid that house prices will rise too much and then fall again? It's like the seaside..."
The bubble real estate on the seaside is well-known throughout the country.
The agency guy laughed:
"Then you are mistaken - how many people live on the coast? Where is our imperial capital?"
"The Forbidden City is all here in Tiananmen. If a brick comes down and hits someone, there are three officials in the family... If that happens, don't worry, the whole country will definitely be in chaos!"
He has also been depressed for a long time, and he often brainwashes himself in this way to make the burden less heavy. Now he opens his mouth and becomes bald.
The middle-aged man listened in his heart, his expression became more solemn, and finally left with a heavy heart.
…
Wu Ming tried his best to relieve the anxiety in his heart, and rode the sun-scorched electric donkey to the company as usual.
As soon as the air conditioning blew over him, he felt alive.
Seeing how embarrassed he was, people in the company quickly pointed to the bathroom.
"Go and wash yourself quickly - Xiao Wu, why are you suffering so much?"
"The imperial capital is so big. Why don't you buy a house and use the money to buy yourself a car? How comfortable it would be!"
"It's comfortable for you, and it's comfortable for my clients. You don't have to stand in the sun, and the contract might be settled."
Xiao Wu gave himself psychological hints for a long time, and now he opened his mouth and said:
"That won't work. People like me who have no foundation must think more!"
Follow the public account: Book Friends Base Camp, follow and you will receive cash and coins!
While he went to the lounge to get a towel and went to the bathroom, he shouted:
"Think about it. When I was a child, my mother said that if I bought a permanent bicycle for 480 yuan and got a ticket, I would have gone bankrupt. At that time, our small shabby house next to the city government only cost 50 square meters.
Sell it for 500.”
"Nowadays, the price of bicycles has not changed much, but do you think who can't afford 480 yuan?"
"But the small dilapidated house next to the city hall is still a small dilapidated house, even more dilapidated, but the residents are waiting for demolition, and no one is selling it for 20,000 yuan!"
He wet the towel against the faucet and wiped himself.
The cool and refreshing breath made him relax.
Wu Ming felt that his decision to buy a house was extremely wise, and he was talking about it now.
"Besides, complicated procedures are always more precious - you pay for a bicycle with one hand, and you can push it with one hand."
"To buy a house, it's not enough to just get money. You also need to check your account number, bank statements, and finally your ability as a person——"
"Tell me, don't you think it's more valuable to have a house on display?"
After he finished speaking, no one answered outside, so he quickly rinsed his face with cold water, wiped it clean and came out.
As soon as I came out of the bathroom, I saw an older lady with big curly hair sitting on the sofa in their small facade. I reached out and nodded at him.
"Young man, I think what you said makes sense - come on, come on, I have my eye on a community, and I heard that you can directly sign first-hand contracts here, right?"
"Come on, just you, tell me."
Xiao Wu:……
…
Xiao Wu didn't ride his electric donkey in the afternoon. The eldest sister had a car, but the skills were not very good. So Xiao Wu rode the eldest sister's big electric car and took her to see the house at a fast speed.
"Sister, your skills are not good, can you ride such a big bike?"
The eldest sister was holding a small sun umbrella behind her back - the umbrella was so small that it only covered the eldest sister's delicate face. The other party sighed:
"This is not my car, I borrowed it from my sister - my hometown is in the Imperial Capital, but I haven't been here for many years."
"oh."
Xiao Wu thought to himself: It’s over.
This deal probably won't work.
"Do you still have your hukou? Nowadays, your hukou is getting tighter and tighter. If you don't have it, you won't be able to buy a house."
"Yes, yes!"
The eldest sister’s voice is quite cheerful:
"We can't forget our hometown while working outside, right?"
"It's not a problem for the sisters to be away from home all the time. Why don't I just come back and take a look at the house."
Another hope arose in Xiao Wu's heart - Oh my god, when he gets rich, he will never do this intermediary job again.
Day by day, my mind is going on a roller coaster!
Xiao Wu quickly asked: "Sister, you haven't told me what kind of house you want? Let's come out in a hurry - I know the community you mentioned. There are houses similar to ours within a 20-minute drive."
The two new properties we are collaborating on—all of them have to be snatched up!"
This is a new cooperation model. Xiao Wu's company is considered a chain, and it is the first time they have cooperated with real estate in this way - directly taking customers to see new houses, and the customers do not pay agency fees, but the sales department will give them a commission.
"If you win the prize, I won't charge an agency fee - it's a great deal!"
In fact, most of the new properties in the Imperial City now have to be snapped up, but this real estate company that cooperates with the intermediary is called Green Sky Group.
It is said that it is planning to go public, so no matter what, it wants to make the financial report more beautiful, and the pre-sale houses it quickly launched have already started selling without laying the foundation.
In the Imperial City, some large groups have started to do pre-sales, but there are not many that have not even laid the foundation and only have concept drawings.
In order to prevent the house sales cycle from being prolonged and the financial report performance to be unsatisfactory, I came up with new ideas to cooperate with intermediary companies.
The eldest sister was mumbling in the background. She didn’t mention the specific requirements for the house, but kept asking about the environment of the community, the company, the property...
Fortunately, the agent brother has been extremely diligent in striving for performance in the past six months, so he has enough knowledge. The two of them didn't mind the trouble all afternoon. First, they walked around the missing community and stopped at the sales department.
I went back and forth several times——
I looked at the proportional sand table over and over again.
After reading, the eldest sister didn't say anything. Xiao Wu was used to it. Now he was tired of looking at the other party. After thinking about it, he asked:
"Sister, it's already 5 o'clock - I'll rush into the rush hour after work later. There are a lot of cars on the road. If you don't like it, how about we make an appointment tomorrow? I'll send it back to you first."
"well."
The eldest sister also sighed.
"I didn't expect that I have to consider so much when buying a house now -"
He looked up again and looked at the bright sun outside, feeling particularly disgusted:
"Forget it, the sun is still so strong at this time, so we can't go out anymore, it's too hot."
"Xiao Wu, you sit down and drink tea, eat some snacks, and rest for a while. I've already decided on it, so you might as well sign it today!"
“I won’t stay here anyway, I’m here now, so it’s easier to get it done at once!”
Xiao Wu:!!!
Why did you sign it?
Didn't you spend this afternoon just walking around in circles in front of the real sand table?
"Is this a hassle-free thing?"
He was still stunned and speechless, but the eldest sister here raised her hand skillfully: "Here comes someone!"
The main reason is that they have been working here all afternoon, and the salesperson has said everything they need to say. It is about to reach the peak of customer arrival, and no one really follows them.
To meet customer needs, those who provide services must do their best. A salesperson who was filling in information hurried over:
"Sister, what else do you want to know about?"
The eldest sister sighed:
"I'm tired. I don't understand anymore. Let's just go to Building 9. It's pretty good. That's him."
Xiao Wu:......!!!
The salesperson's smile was so bright: "Which apartment is in Building 9?"
The laser pointer in my hand points upwards one by one.
The eldest sister was a little surprised: "It must be this whole building. There are more than ten of my sisters, and one of us is not allowed to occupy one or two floors!"
