"Sure, Brother Chen, just tell us how to run a real estate agency. Give us a set of rules first, and I'll start preparing when I return to Beijing. Also, during this break, I can talk to my brothers first. That way, we won't be completely in the dark when the time comes."
Xiami's eyes lit up when he heard about the new business. The main reason was that the import and export business was too tiring, and he felt that changing the environment would make him feel much more relaxed.
"Brother Li, what the hell, you two should do this. When you return to Beijing, find a shop outside the Third Ring Road. If the price is right, it's best to buy it. You can decide which district to go to."
"Brother Chen, outside the Third Ring Road? Are you sure?"
I was completely confused. Why go outside the Third Ring Road? Isn't it better to be inside the Third Ring Road?
"Well, anywhere in the Third Ring Road or outside of it will do. You can check the price and see if we have enough money."
"Brother Chen, outside the Third Ring Road, it's all suburbs and rural areas. Sometimes there are water and electricity rationing at night. Is that okay?"
Xiami was afraid that Du Chen didn't know the situation outside the Third Ring Road, so he explained the situation there to Du Chen.
"I know..."
"Brother Chen, do you know you still have to choose outside the Third Ring Road?"
Xiami didn't understand Du Chen's thoughts at all.
"Nonsense, I know the location in the first and second ring roads in the city center is good, the question is, can you afford it?"
Du Chen asked back.
"Brother Chen, are we planning to become real estate agents?"
Xiami asked Du Chen blankly.
"Ah, what's wrong?"
"Brother Chen, as an agent, we earn commissions, right? Why do we need money?"
Xiami's words made Du Chen stunned, and then he stared at Xiami without saying a word.
"Brother Chen? Brother Chen?"
Xiami called Du Chen cautiously.
"Well, ah, what I mean is that if you come across a house in a good location and at a suitable price, why not buy it yourself? You can wait for it to appreciate in value and then sell it, or keep it for your own use."
Du Chen forced himself to explain.
"Brother Chen, we can act as intermediaries first, slowly make money and then buy it ourselves. Is that okay with you?"
Xiami was so confused from driving all day that he didn't notice that Du Chen was feeling a little uncomfortable, so he continued to ask Du Chen for his opinion.
"Yeah, you're right!"
What else could Du Chen say? He could only agree with Xiami.
"Why don't we just open two stores, one in the Second Ring Road and one around the Third Ring Road? Then, we can look for shops and buy if we can. If we can't, we can rent. We can directly file complaints about the water plant and the arcade's profits. Do you have any objections?"
Du Chen is still more optimistic about places around the Third Ring Road, as they are cheap and even have large spaces. Places around the Second Ring Road are really unaffordable.
"Du Chen, are you going to invest all the profits into the real estate agency?"
Li Dewen asked Du Chen in surprise.
"That's right. You can make up your own mind. My money is useless right now anyway, so all my profits will be invested in the agency. You can do whatever you want with your profits. We'll call each other once a week. If there's something I like, you can keep it. If not, you can trade on your own. How about that?"
Du Chen expressed his thoughts to Li Dewen and Xiami.
"this……"
"What the hell, if you have any questions, just tell me. Don't hesitate."
Seeing Xiami hesitating, Du Chen asked the other party.
"Brother Chen, the boss and I definitely have no objection to you buying real estate, but if the amount is too large, I'm afraid the brothers below will complain."
Xiami gritted his teeth and expressed his concerns.
"You mean commission?"
Du Chen asked what the hell.
"Well, everyone goes out to make money, Brother Chen..."
He didn't even dare to raise his head, but just expressed his concerns.
"Du Chen, that's not what I meant. He's definitely fine with it..."
Du Chen waved his hand to signal Li Dewen not to say anything more.
"Xiaomi, you're very thoughtful. For the sake of our long-term cooperation, these things need to be thought of and discussed in advance. Even if there are problems we can't think of, you must remind me in time if you discover them later!"
Du Chen was not unhappy at all, but rather very happy. He had not really noticed the problem mentioned by Xiami. When everyone worked hard to find a house, but he ended up selling it, no one made any money. In the long run, there would definitely be complaints.
"So, for the houses I buy, you guys should get the commission you deserve. Don't let this become a grudge against each other, or say I'm not going to keep the houses I own and plan to sell them. Similarly, whoever sells the houses should get the commission you deserve!"
Du Chencai didn't care about this commission. Compared with the rising housing prices, that little money was a drop in the bucket.
"Brother Chen, that won't do. You were the one who found this job for us, and we're still earning money from you. This isn't right..."
Xiami was extremely conflicted. If he didn't make money, he was afraid that his brothers would be unhappy. If he made money, it would still be Du Chen's money, and he felt that this was not right. Now Xiami was in a dilemma.
"What? There's no need to be so entangled. We can just earn the landlord's share, and Du Chen won't earn anything."
At this point, Li Dewen expressed a different opinion. Real estate agents these days are taking a cut from both sides: the selling agent wants a commission, and the buying agent also wants a commission. Otherwise, the agency's reputation would be tarnished.
"Brother Li, no, we can't do that. How can we build a name for ourselves if we continue with the old way? My idea is to not charge the seller any commission. In order to have more properties available, the buyer will only receive a small commission, and it should be lower than the industry standard!"
