Wu Xuelin took the contract back that day.
Seeing the final transaction price of the manor, Sister Tu was impressed from the bottom of her heart.
Sister Tu: "As expected of you."
"I didn't expect that you actually managed to negotiate the deal." Dai Li was extremely surprised and had told him that he could raise the price appropriately so as not to anger the previous owner and drive him away.
Sister Tu: "Professional matters should be left to professionals. It saved us a lot of money."
Wu Xuelin bargained for the price once and saved the agency commission and decoration costs, and even had some left over.
"The most important thing in business negotiations is to understand the other party's psychology, and it also depends on who can endure the longest. Both of us are willing to make the deal, but I'm not in a hurry. I can quarrel with him every day by slamming the table. Since he can't endure it as much as I can, of course he has to compromise and give in." Wu Xuelin said confidently.
He didn't bargain for a random price. Before meeting the previous owner, he looked up a lot of information about the manor.
How much did the previous owner spend to acquire the land? How much did he spend on renovations? How did the price fluctuate when he listed the property in the past few years? What were the losses and profits of the estate each year? And so on...
After a lot of comparisons and calculations, he came up with a price that was close to the previous owner's bottom line.
This price would make the former owner very uncomfortable, so he slammed the table many times to indicate that he would not sell it.
But this price is not enough to make the previous owner lose money, at most he is just unwilling to accept it.
So after more than a week of stalemate, the former owner finally gave in.
Sister Tu said with great joy: "You are really a great contributor to our manor."
Wu Xuelin: "Then am I qualified to live in the room in Rose Garden?"
Sister Tu's face suddenly changed, and there was a knife in her eyes, as if to say, "You are indeed thinking about the room I like."
But when she thought about how much money Wu Xuelin had saved Dai Dai, Sister Tu gritted her teeth and reluctantly gave up: "If you want to live here, then stay."
But Wu Xuelin said nonchalantly, "I'm not interested in Qiangwei. I live with the people in the technical department."
Sister Tu: “…”
Then Wu Xuelin got up and left.
Sister Tu glared at his back and complained to Dai Li, "He is deliberately messing with my mentality, right?"
After the contract was signed, they and the previous owner quickly completed the formalities.
Although the previous owner had solved a problem and no longer had to worry about the property, he still felt empty inside.
After meeting his old friends in China, he took a last look at the manor.
Before coming, the homeowner thought Wu Xuelin was joking. Rich people who are willing to spend money to buy a large manor are all doing it for their own enjoyment.
This was the first time he heard of someone buying a large estate to use as an office and provide accommodation for employees.
The former landlord guessed that the employees Wu Xuelin mentioned were servants, and it was normal to provide accommodation for servants.
He soon realized that he was narrow-minded. What he saw in the Mid-Mountain Manor was a real company, the first company to have its office in a large manor.
The outdoor landscape of the manor remains the same as before, but the interior layout of the house has been completely replaced.
Except for the living room in the two annex buildings, which retained the furniture for entertainment and relaxation, most of the furniture in other rooms was cleared out and transformed into comfortable office areas.
The stables and sunroom were also renovated and reclassified and partitioned. In addition, two floors were added to accommodate Dai Li's increasing number of equipment and instruments in the future.
Only then did the former owner have to admit that they had really transformed the manor into a company.
And although it is said that this place has been converted into an office area, in fact, there are more areas for leisure and relaxation.
There are all kinds of video games, e-sports equipment, fitness equipment, and sports equipment. During working hours on weekdays, employees walk around the manor, enjoy the breeze and sunbathe, while the rest play games. The gaming equipment are all products of DL Company.
Not only gaming equipment and office equipment, but DL company's machines are installed everywhere in the manor.
Products that are extremely valuable and hard to come by in the market are as free as ice cream for them.
If you didn't see it with your own eyes, no one would believe it.
The previous owner was puzzled. What kind of company was this? How rich was it to buy a manor covering half a mountain for office use without blinking an eye and replace all the furniture with DL products?
As we all know, DL's products cannot be bought with money.
"What exactly does your company do?" The former landlord became more and more curious and couldn't help but ask Wu Xuelin.
Wu Xuelin: "Aren't our products placed everywhere in the company? Didn't you see it, brother?"
"No," the former homeowner looked around, "I only saw DL products."
Wu Xuelin: "That's produced by our company."
His calm words had no idea what kind of storm had been stirred up in the former owner's heart.
The previous owner had lived for more than fifty years and had seen all kinds of storms, but he had never been as out of control as he was at that moment.
"You said your company is DL Company?" The former landlord's eyes widened and his tone rose several degrees.
He was surprised to see Wu Xuelin nodded: "It's us."
The former homeowner pondered the matter for a while before digesting the shocking news he had just received.
This is DL Company, a hot company in the eyes of people all over the world. It was actually them who bought his house.
The former homeowner said: "Brother, you treat me like an outsider, right? We go out to discuss things every day, why haven't you mentioned it to me once?"
Wu Xuelin: "Will it be cheaper if I ask my elder brother about the manor?"
The previous owner made him laugh again. He had already sold the house at a bargain price, but he still wanted him to get a lower price?
He looked at Wu Xuelin for a while and commented, "Brother, you are really a smart guy."
The formalities have been completed and the payment has been transferred. Even if the previous owner wants to lower the price, there is no way to get a lower price.
The former owner said: "The manor is already yours. I can't offer any cheaper prices, but I can support your business. I'm quite loyal, aren't I?"
"Brother, you are quite calculating." Wu Xuelin said with a smile. He said he was taking care of their business, but it was not clear who was taking advantage of whom.
The previous owner also laughed: "You guys were able to buy my house, so we are destined to be together, right? Your boss wouldn't be so polite as to not sell it to you."
Dai Li did indeed do the business for the former landlord out of respect for him.
He also knew that he had found a good deal and had connections with people from DL Company, so the sale of this manor was a great value.
He also met the boss of DL company, the mysterious teacher Dai behind the company. He was really surprised and shocked at that time.
I was surprised that Teacher Dai was so young and shocked by her strength and ability.
He immediately decided not to immigrate and transferred all his overseas assets back home. He wanted to maintain this important interpersonal relationship, otherwise it would be a waste to go abroad.
Dai Li and the others didn't know the previous owner's plan. The company had completed its move and was officially back on track.
The old site of the company is still preserved and used as the company's warehouse. The equipment and machinery that cannot be stored in the manor are moved to the warehouse at the old site of the company.
The company moved to a new address, and after hearing the news, all the acquaintances who came to see it were envious.
Xiao Min: "Teacher Dai, I really want to come work here with you. Otherwise, Teacher Wu, you can switch with me. Teacher Wu can do my job anyway."
Wu Xuelin raised his eyelids and asked calmly, "Mr. Xiao, are you sure you can do my job?"
Xiao Min was speechless for a moment. He spoke too quickly and didn't think about it so much.
Dai Li: "Mr. Xiao, you guys are doing external liaison work, so it's more convenient to work near the CBD. Although I can't arrange accommodation of the same quality for you, I will give you a discount."
"Teacher Dai, you're too polite." Xiao Min waved his hand to indicate that he was joking.
Dai Li never treated him unfairly in terms of treatment. DL Company did not sell stocks, but Dai Li gave him 10% of the dividend profits, which was a proportion he could not even imagine in the family business.
He is now working for someone else on the surface, but his actual annual salary is far higher than being the CEO of the family business.
There were people gossiping about him behind his back before, but ever since they found out he was a manager for DL Company, they all tried to get close to him in roundabout ways. Even his eldest brother Xiao Sheng seemed to have developed a deep brotherly bond towards him overnight, and would ask him to come back for dinner more often.
He is now very satisfied with everything he has obtained, and it is impossible for him to ask his boss for more.
Guan Honghou visited the technical department and saw the furnishings and layout along the way. He asked the employees of the technical department.
"It must be a happy job to work here with Teacher Xiao Dai."
The employees in the technical department nodded in agreement.
Guan Honghou thought about his time when he was working, and wondered how he could have met such a good company and such a good boss.
He snorted jealously, "You guys are so lucky! I've never seen a boss more generous than Teacher Xiao Dai. Back then, we were thankful that our boss didn't delay our wages."
One by one, acquaintances came and went. After seeing off their friends, they had to receive another group of new guests.
The new guest is the reporter who comes to interview Dai Li.
After Sister Tu’s rigorous screening, she finally chose to be interviewed by Jinshi TV.
The reason is that he is familiar with the production style of their station's programs.
Dai Li has collaborated with Jinshi TV many times and has some connections with it, especially "Edison in Plain Situ", which is the program she has recorded the most episodes, with a total of four episodes.
It has been two years since "Edison Made in China" ended, and the members of the program team have disbanded.
Only the feature film program team is still producing it, broadcasting it twice a week.
The documentary program team had wanted to interview Dai Li for a long time, and the invitation to interview her could even be traced back to before DL Company became popular, not long after the filming of the HIV miracle drug.
Firstly, the director was keenly aware that Dai Li's identity was unusual, and secondly, the character interview was in line with the tone of their program.
And our entire team and everyone in Taiwan were very curious about Dai Li, but unfortunately, except for a few people on the set, no one else had ever seen her.
After a year of persistence, they finally received a reply from Dai Li.
The entire production crew howled with joy in the office, even happier than when they won the championship.
The two sides agreed on an interview date, which is tomorrow.
Sister Tu hadn't decided on a location for the interview yet, so she asked Dai Li, "Are you going to have them interview you in your office or at your factory tomorrow, Dai Dai?"
The office was more decent and suitable for meetings, so she suggested that Dai Li be interviewed in the office.
"Let them come to my factory in the sun room. After they leave, I can continue working. I'm too lazy to run around." Dai Li was packing up the things she moved in and counting her patent certificates, which had piled up like a small mountain.
If others had one or two patent certificates, they would definitely store them carefully and treasure them, instead of sorting them out like Dai Li did, tying them up with hemp rope and stacking them together.
Sister Tu was shocked: "How many certificates do you have?"
Dai Li: "I don't remember. Wu Xuelin should have statistics on the number. If you want to know, you can ask him."
Sister Tu didn't want to ask him and started talking about the interview again: "Then let's be casual about tomorrow's interview. I'll take them wherever you are."
Dai Li nodded without comment.
Sister Tu rubbed her hands excitedly. "You should be on the hot search tomorrow. Oh my god, I haven't checked the hot search in a long time. I'm almost rusty at the job. I have to get ready to deal with any unexpected situation tomorrow."
Sister Tu thought that Dai Li would not be on the hot search until tomorrow, but she didn't know that Dai Li's name would be on the hot search that night.
This is naturally Ye Zheng's credit.
Some time ago, Ye Zheng ran into Dai Li in a manor halfway up the mountain and secretly took a lot of photos of her.
Ye Zheng was very calm and did not sell the photos immediately.
Because there was a first-line star making big news at that time, releasing news about Dai Li at that time would definitely not be able to grab the traffic of the first-line star and would not attract much attention.
Only after the popularity of the first-line star died down did Ye Zheng start contacting gossip and entertainment accounts.
Unexpectedly, the gossip entertainment accounts were not interested in any news about Dai Li, and were unwilling to even accept the free news.
A female star who hasn't been seen for a long time and has never been very popular, and it's not explosive news. What's so explosive about her retiring from the entertainment industry and selling a house? It's not as newsworthy as being a mistress.
The gossip reporter's complaints gave Ye Zheng inspiration, and she immediately changed her words and said that Dai Li was the third party who interfered with the wealthy family's marriage.
Ye Zheng: "I heard her say she wanted to buy a manor the other day. With her own financial situation, how could she afford it? She must have hooked up with a wealthy man."
The gossip reporter suddenly became interested: "Who is he dating, and how much is his net worth?"
Ye Zheng might have made up someone else and said vaguely, "I don't know about that."
Gossip reporter: "Miss, you'd better find out the news before contacting me."
Ye Zheng: "Can't you write an article and send it out first?"
The gossip reporter on the other side said speechlessly, "You don't have any accurate information, yet you asked me to write this? You're naming names now, and what if they sue me? You're saying she's hooking up with a rich man, so she can't do anything to me. The financial backers behind her have plenty of ways to do it to me."
The gossip reporter was unwilling to help Ye Zheng, so Ye Zheng tried to persuade him and even paid him 5,000 yuan to let him write an article to be posted on their gossip account.
In order to avoid risks, gossip reporters were reluctant to write Dai Li's name in detail and only used D to refer to her.
Ye Zheng spent the money, but the effect did not meet her expectations.
The gossip account didn't have many followers, and the articles were unclear, so netizens just read them for fun, and no one even noticed the revealing information they carefully designed.
Ye Zheng's five thousand yuan was wasted. She wanted to find the gossip account to rewrite a chapter, but the gossip account ignored her.
She had no choice but to create a small account and posted the secretly taken photos of Dai Li with the caption: I met a female star by chance. Now Dai Li has become a rich woman and has started buying a manor.
She was being ironic because she took the photo very carefully and Dai Li's clothes and appearance were clearly visible. Dai Li didn't look like a rich woman in that outfit.
She had to wait for the sharp-eyed netizens to discover something was wrong themselves.
Ye Zheng posted the photo and started waiting for news, but an hour passed and there was not even a single like.
On the one hand, she was happy that Dai Li was completely forgotten and no one was searching for her anymore. On the other hand, she was very angry as to why no one had seen the photos she posted.
Ye Zheng waited until the early morning, but there was still no movement on the account. She really didn't have the patience to wait any longer, so she spent money to buy a hot search for Dai Li.
Driven by money, Dai Li's name suddenly appeared at the end of the hot search list.
Ye Zheng lay down contentedly, planning to read netizens' comments the next day.
After she fell asleep, Dai Li's name kept climbing up the hot search list.
When Ye Zheng woke up, Dai Li's name had climbed to seventh place.
She excitedly clicked on the entry, expecting netizens to mock Dai Li, but the netizens' focus was completely different from hers.
Netizens just want to hang out with rich women.
[菠菜caicai]: Just as I thought, the rich woman has made a fortune in her career and is too disdainful to return to the entertainment industry.
[绿萝洛]: Damn, buying a big estate is my lifelong dream.
[艾维_shd]: They look so good even in blurry images. I’m so envious of their looks.
[Xindalu Fenlu]: It looks like a hillside manor. My rich friend held a ceremony there. The rental fee for one day is shockingly expensive. It is said that this is the most expensive property in the city. She was able to buy a manor here. What a rich woman.
[Lazy Yangyang]: I want to be close to a beautiful and good-looking rich woman.
Ye Zheng was so angry that she woke up from her sleep and made a lot of noise in bed, which made her fiancé mutter angrily.
In order not to wake up her fiancé, she tiptoed out of bed, went to the outer room, and then started replying with another small account.
[yeye]: Have any of you ever thought about where Dai Li's money came from? How could she have the money to buy the manor? It must have been given by her financial sponsor.
[Sweetness is Justice] replied to [yeye]: You are so ridiculous. It is natural for men to have money, but women have money because they rely on men.
[Meimeiyaya] replied to [yeye]: You mean that since Dai Li married into a wealthy family, isn’t it natural for her to spend money?
[yeye]: Look at her clothes. Have you ever seen rich people wearing such cheap clothes? Only ordinary workers would wear cheap clothes that cost only a few dozen yuan.
[Stop eating candy] Reply to [yeye]: The more you talk, the more ridiculous you become. Clothes are not labels on people. My second-generation rich friends wear fast-moving consumer goods all day long. Truly wealthy people don't need luxury goods to increase their own value.
[我要豹豹] replied to [yeye]: You didn’t notice, the clothes she was wearing were just ordinary in style, but she was wearing the latest model of thermostatic material, and her mobile phone and smart watch were also the latest models from DL, which you can’t even buy.
[Green Banana]: I don’t envy the manor because I can’t afford it. But when I saw Dai Li holding the latest mobile phone and smart watch, I was so envious that I cried.
Ye Zheng was so angry that her chest felt tight. She didn't know where all the netizens with strong fighting power had gone. Now all the netizens were speaking for Dai Li.
[yeye]: If Dai Li was really a wealthy woman, she must have bought a manor halfway up the mountain.
Ye Zheng dared to say this because Dai Li did not send her the bill. Dai Li had already said such harsh words, so how could he forget to send her the bill?
What does this mean? It means Dai Li never bought the manor.
[Just a random name]: Buying a house is not like buying snacks in a supermarket. You can't just throw whatever you like into the shopping cart. Shouldn't people think about it first?
[轻风和暖]: I am a poor guy. I have to hesitate for a long time when buying snacks in the supermarket and dare not throw them into the shopping cart/crying.
[Little Pig]: What the hell, what the hell, just when you were talking about Banshan Manor, I saw Banshan Manor on the live broadcast of Jinshi TV. The manor has been sold, and it was bought by Teacher Dai!
The netizen's words instantly ignited the comment section.
The interview task of Jinshi TV was formulated very hastily. There was not even time for publicity. The crew carried the filming equipment and rushed over, fearing that if they delayed for one more day, there would be complications and the interview plan would be ruined.
Netizens who can see the interview news are all loyal viewers of the documentary program team.
Later, thanks to the enthusiastic publicity of loyal viewers, more and more people knew that Jinshi TV was going to interview Teacher Dai.
They have been curious about Teacher Dai for more than a year, and finally they can see her true face!
What an exciting moment this is.
With the news from Teacher Dai, who would still want to continue discussing Dai Li, a person who does not exist in the entertainment industry?
Seeing that the traffic she bought with her own money was gone, Ye Zheng had not yet achieved her goal, so she ran to the live broadcast room of the Jinshi TV interview unwillingly.
Jinshi TV has always been good at making good use of traffic. Knowing that Teacher Dai is very popular, it adopted the form of live broadcast and recording to let netizens feast their eyes first.
The crew started the broadcast by going up the mountain, and now they have gotten off the car, and are taken in by the manor security in a golf cart.
They took photos of the scenery of the manor along the way and asked Sister Tu, who was leading the way, for information.
The content of the conversation was meaningless and was all related to Teacher Dai.
Sister Tu said: "There are quite a lot of equipment and instruments in Dai Dai's workshop. I hope everyone will not find it messy after seeing them. Those are her treasures, and none of them can be thrown away."
The director said: "You definitely can't throw away Teacher Dai's things. Any of them is good."
Some people in the comment section were praising the beautiful scenery of the manor, while others were rubbing their hands and expressing their fantasies about the upcoming appearance of Teacher Dai.
No one remembered that this was the house that Dai Li had visited.
None of them remembered, but Ye Zheng did, and she came to remind the netizens.
[yeye]: You see, the manor halfway up the mountain has been bought by someone, and it’s not Dai Li who wanted to buy the house in the first place.
[Flowers Will Bloom in Spring]: Are you annoying that Yeye in front? This is the live interview room of Teacher Dai. Who wants to care whether Dai Li, that expired and unknown celebrity, buys a house or not.
[Put a pigeon feather]: Yeye, please don’t come and pollute teacher Dai’s live interview room, go and make trouble on Weibo.
[yeye]: I just wanted to remind you when I saw the manor, so that you don’t have to help Dai Li establish her image as a rich woman.
[Going to work is like going to a grave]: It’s none of your business whether she’s a rich woman or not. If you’ve eaten too much, go to the toilet and don’t fart everywhere.
The director of Jinshi TV saw that there was a quarrel in the live broadcast room because of Yeye's provocation, and asked Sister Tu awkwardly whether she wanted to be muted.
Sister Tu also took a look and unexpectedly saw Dai Li's name. She said happily, "Are you talking about Dai Li?"
The director looked embarrassed. He didn't expect that the live broadcast room would start to quarrel so quickly, and it was all because of an insignificant person.
"She mentioned an insignificant person. I'd better mute her."
Sister Tu: "No, it's not an insignificant person."
The director didn’t understand, but Sister Tu didn’t explain much and just said it would be here soon.
Netizens' comments were highly unified and consistent, prompting Ye Zheng to leave Teacher Dai's live interview room.
Ye Zheng's desire to win was aroused, but she refused to leave and continued to express her opinions in the live interview room.
[yeye]: I don’t care who bought the manor in the middle of the mountain, but it was definitely not bought by Dai Li. She was just trying to establish herself as a rich woman and deceive innocent netizens. You have all been deceived by her.
Ye Zheng posted the comment she had just made, and the golf carts carrying the film crew also arrived at the factory building that was converted from Sunshine Greenhouse.
From a distance, I saw a man in the factory, working with his back to the door.
Sharp-eyed netizens recognized the pair of long and straight legs at a glance.
It’s Teacher Dai!
