“Completely free?”
Li Dewen asked Du Chen in surprise. With his intelligence, he could not understand Du Chen's thoughts at all. Xiami had a thoughtful expression, and it was obvious that he had thought of something.
"Brother Li, have you ever heard the saying, 'Free is the most expensive thing?'"
Du Chen explained to Li Dewen with a smile.
"Brother Chen, do you mean to seize the market first? And then monopolize it?"
"Don't dare say anything nonsense. We are law-abiding citizens. How could we engage in monopoly? And with so little money in our pockets, do you still want to monopolize?"
Du Chen knew that Xiami understood what he meant, but Xiami was thinking too much. He didn't have the energy or courage to do such a big thing.
"But what you said makes sense. We can definitely grab the market by registering information for free."
"Du Chen, what the hell is this all about? I'm getting more and more confused the more I listen."
Li Dewen interrupted the conversation between Du Chen and Xiami. He once again felt that his IQ was being rubbed on the ground. He really couldn't understand their conversation.
"Brother Li, let me explain it to you briefly!"
Seeing the confused Li Dewen, Du Chen had to give him an example.
"For example, if you come to our agency and want to buy an apartment, and I understand your needs, I can input them into the computer, and all the second-hand houses that meet your requirements in various areas of Beijing will be displayed. What do you think?"
"Of course it's great! This way I don't have to go to every real estate agency to find out. After all, real estate agencies in a certain area are only familiar with the properties in their area. Now I can find out about second-hand properties in the entire city right away. It saves me so much trouble and effort!"
Li Dewen thought about what Du Chen said and felt that this was indeed a good idea.
"With things like this, do you think our agency has any advantages?"
Du Chen continued to ask Li Dewen and Xiami.
“There are advantages!”
Li Dewen and Xiami answered Du Chen in unison.
"I think it's quite advantageous, mainly because it's convenient here! The more people are interested in buying a house, the more sellers will naturally come to us. It's a virtuous cycle, right?"
"Brother Chen, but there is still a question."
Xiami thought about it and spoke to Du Chen.
"What's the problem?"
“What if the buyer and seller skip us and contact each other privately?”
"This problem has always existed, right? It's unavoidable, but what is the role of our intermediaries?"
Du Chen also asked Xiami a question.
"Isn't it just to connect the two parties?"
Li Dewen said in confusion. In his opinion, this was the role of an intermediary.
"You're wrong. The most important role of an agent is to provide a guarantee!"
"guarantee?!"
"Yes, guarantee!"
"If you were a buyer, how could you be sure the seller wasn't a scammer? Would they sell the same property to multiple buyers? Could the property be transferred after you paid them?"
"The sellers will also wonder if the buyer is a scammer, whether they can get their money, and whether there is any trickery going on."
"This is when our role as an intermediary comes into play. We act as a guarantor, guaranteeing the interests of both parties!"
"First of all, the purchase money will not be given directly to the seller. The money will be given directly to our agency. We will assist both parties in the purchase and transfer of ownership of the house, and then hand over the money to the other party. If the house cannot be transferred, the money will not be given to the seller. If the house is not transferred, the seller will not transfer the ownership. What do you think of this?"
Du Chen took the set of stuff he had found on the Internet and sold it to Li Dewen and Xiami. The more they listened, the brighter their eyes became.
"Du Chen, what's wrong with your brain? How can you think of so much in just a short time?"
Li Dewen looked at Du Chen's head with admiration, and from the looks of him, he even wanted to touch Du Chen's head.
Du Chen felt embarrassed. His family knew his own business, but he just knew more than them. The people who could really come up with these solutions were the real deal.
"Du Chen, but none of us know how to use computers. You can ask them to play games, but building a website? That's nonsense!"
Then, Li Dewen said dejectedly again.
Du Chen glanced at Li Dewen to indicate that he didn't want to talk.
"Boss, we can hire someone to build a website! What else could the capital city possibly need?"
Xiami reminded Li Dewen in a low voice. He also felt that his boss's IQ was worrying, and he felt that Li Dewen was indeed a bit embarrassing.
"What the hell, I think I'll leave this matter to you. You don't have anything else to do right now anyway, so why don't you go back to Beijing and take charge for a while until you've finished building the website?"
Looking at Li Dewen and Xiami, Du Chen felt that Xiami was more reliable and decided to let Xiami take charge of this matter.
"Me? Brother Chen, I don't understand these things either. I'm afraid I can't do it well!"
Xiami was a little worried that he would mess this up. After all, his knowledge of the Internet was limited to "Wowga" and "18DY".
"Don't worry, Xiami, you're in charge of the overall direction of this matter, and I'll let Sister Yue and Qiqi help you when the time comes!"
Du Chen encouraged Xiami.
"Gu Yue? And your partner?"
"Well, Sister Yue and Qiqi are both studying in Beijing now. They don't have much to do anyway, so it's a good opportunity to ask them to come over and help you. Besides, Sister Yue is from the University of Posts and Telecommunications, so it's perfect for her to help with the website!"
Du Chen gave Xiami a reassurance.
“Is the University of Posts and Telecommunications still involved in the Internet?”
Li Dewen once again exposed his ignorance at the right time.
"Then what do you think the University of Posts and Telecommunications is for?"
Du Chen looked at Li Dewen speechlessly, wanting to hear Li Dewen's profound opinions.
"I thought all graduates from the University of Posts and Telecommunications went to work in the post office..."
“…”
Du Chen said he no longer had any interest in cursing.
Xiami opened his mouth, then fell silent. Just kidding, after graduating from the University of Posts and Telecommunications, would it be easier to work in the post office or deliver packages? In short, Li Dewen's words immediately silenced Du Chen and Xiami.
"Why aren't you talking?"
Li Dewen asked again.
"Brother Li, fishing and drinking tea are nice, but wouldn't reading also go well with it?"
Du Chen gave his suggestions.
"I read books. Huang Yi's books are really good!"
Li Dewen continued to argue, and as he spoke, he showed a lewd smile.
“…”
"Okay, Brother Li, as long as you like it!"
Du Chen let out a breath and ignored Li Dewen.
"Xia Mi, I'll leave this matter to you. I'll make a few more trips to the capital when I have time. We'll try to get this done before our opponents have time to react. If everything goes well, our retirement will depend on this!"
Du Chen asked Xiami very seriously.
