The next day
Li Kaile and Xu Dalong got up very early.
The hotel offered free breakfast, and after the three of them finished eating, they took a taxi straight to the bank.
Before long, he took out 100,000 yuan.
Seeing so much money, Xu Dalong was alright, because he knew that Zhou Chen had earned 300,000 yuan just from the franchise fee, but Li Kaile had never seen anything like it before.
He was just a high school student, and all the savings he had accumulated from his previous street vending were only about a thousand yuan. Now, seeing a hundred thousand yuan in cash, each bill a hundred yuan, he was naturally unable to calm down.
"Brother Chen, isn't it too dangerous to carry so much money on your person? What if someone sees it..."
Li Kaile wanted to say that if he had too much money, it might be robbed or stolen once others found out; in short, it was unsafe.
Zhou Chen smiled faintly, "That's why I had you and Da Long come with me. Your task is to act as my bodyguards."
? ? ?
"Alright, don't worry about the money. We're going somewhere next. You two, don't say anything out of line, just listen to my instructions..."
Zhou Chen began to instruct the two on what to do next.
He first withdrew some money, mainly as a deposit for the transaction. Otherwise, no one would believe that a young man like him could afford a house. Just talking isn't convincing; real money is needed.
If it weren't for the fact that carrying too much cash would indeed be too conspicuous, Zhou Chen would have considered withdrawing three to five hundred thousand yuan.
Of course, withdrawing that much money is indeed unnecessary.
100,000 is basically enough.
Upon hearing that Zhou Chen wanted to buy a house, Li Kaile was once again greatly shocked. The only thing he couldn't understand was why Zhou Chen would buy a house in the rural suburbs.
Zhou Chen didn't explain much. After giving his instructions, the group went to a car rental shop and rented a car. Xu Dalong had just gotten his driver's license and acted as the driver.
After arriving in the rural suburbs,
Zhou Chen led Xu Dalong and Li Kaile into the crowd to inquire about people selling houses.
With the addition of a car, and Zhou Chen mentioning the purchase of a house, the villagers, though puzzled, still revealed some information.
Zhou Chen offered a pack of cigarettes and asked an elderly man for directions.
Upon arriving at a dilapidated courtyard and meeting the owner, Zhou Chen got straight to the point without any preamble, expressing his desire to buy the place.
With almost no effort, he bought his first house for 30,000 yuan.
Then, take out one thousand, write down the reasons, and use it as a deposit.
The homeowner was curious as to why Zhou Chen bought the small mud house in the countryside, but at the same time he was happy to have found a sucker. His dilapidated house had actually been sold for a full 30,000 yuan.
Zhou Chen naturally wouldn't tell the other party the truth; otherwise, who would sell the house to him?
Seeing the other person's shrewd and self-satisfied expression, Zhou Chen had an idea. He offered to ask the man if he could help ask the villagers if anyone wanted to sell a house, as he wanted to buy one. He offered to give him 300 yuan as a reward for successfully introducing one house.
Hearing that such a good thing existed,
The middle-aged man immediately agreed and told Zhou Chen to wait.
To Zhou Chen's surprise, within an hour, the middle-aged man brought four or five residents who expressed their willingness to sell the house to Zhou Chen.
Zhou Chen naturally accepted it all.
At the same time, he told the homeowners what he had just said to the middle-aged man. The middle-aged man had no choice but to give them an awkward smile and then immediately went to ask other people.
With several more competitors, he had to be faster than others if he wanted to earn Zhou Chen's three hundred yuan.
Hearing that they would get paid for helping with referrals, especially since they had just lost several hundred yuan to someone else, they wanted to earn it back, so they immediately took action.
"Brother Chen, they make this money way too easily."
Li Kaile felt that Zhou Chen was just throwing money away. He could have gone door-to-door to ask people himself, so why was he giving money to someone else to do this?
It made him want to get involved.
That's three hundred! Many people don't earn that much in a day.
“Kail, this money is indeed like free money to them, but have you ever thought about the difference between us going to ask them and them asking them?”
Zhou Chen asked with a smile.
Li Kaile paused for a moment, then shook his head, feeling there was no difference.
Zhou Chen turned to look at Xu Dalong.
Seeing this, Xu Dalong said, "We are not from this village, so we are wary. If we go to ask, even if someone wants to sell, they won't say so directly. But it's different for the villagers. It's easier for them to succeed. Plus, they are examples of themselves. Even if someone doesn't want to sell, they will consider it and may even agree to sell after being persuaded."
Snap!
Zhou Chen snapped his fingers.
Yes, that's the answer.
Although Xu Dalong gives people a simple and honest impression, he is not stupid. He is just not very good at talking. Moreover, Xu Dalong comes from the countryside and knows some of the ways of the countryside. He also studied management with him for a while, so his thinking is naturally much more profound than before.
After this, Li Kaile finally understood the key point and couldn't help but look at Xu Dalong with new respect. He thought he would be Zhou Chen's number one strategist, but he didn't expect that Xu Dalong was very clear about what he hadn't understood.
Xu Dalong, you feel like a stranger to me!
However, Li Kaile was not jealous of this. He always considered himself the third person next to Zhou Chen. Xu Dalong had been with Zhou Chen for a longer time and was also older than him, so it was reasonable for him to be ranked second.
With the help of five or six villagers, Zhou Chen's 100,000 yuan deposit was reduced by half in just one morning.
Because some people have large houses, and the houses are newly built, they ask for higher deposits. Of course, such houses are naturally more expensive. However, Zhou Chen still bought them without hesitation.
Hearing that some people's houses were selling for as high as 70,000 or 80,000, more and more people were tempted.
For a time, everyone in the village was discussing whether or not to sell their houses.
To convince the villagers that he could come up with the money, Zhou Chen decided to take some of the homeowners who were selling their houses to settle their final payments at noon, and at the same time transfer the property rights.
After finishing all that, we returned to the village.
The whole village was in an uproar; even families who had just finished building their houses were considering selling them.
The prices Zhou Chen offered were also getting higher and higher.
In the afternoon, more villagers came to Zhou Chen to discuss house prices.
at the same time,
Inside a Starbucks on the street,
Across from Sun Wanying sat a young woman in a black work uniform, who was constantly complaining about what was happening at work.
"You make me work overtime every day, Wanying. Look how bad my dark circles are."
"I can't do this job anymore. If I keep staying up all night, I'll turn into a haggard old woman, and my skin will get worse and worse. I have to quit, I want to quit..."
Su Jiajia looked resentful.
Seeing this, Sun Wanying quickly offered words of comfort, which greatly eased the situation.
"Oh, right, Wanying, there's something else you'll find very interesting. Guess who I saw on our city's TV channel last night?"
Su Jiajia suddenly became mysterious.
However,
Before Su Jiajia could feel smug, Sun Wanying directly said a name.
