Chapter 164 The Wife He Wants
At this time, Jiang Fang had already joined Lin's Real Estate. She made a lot of money in Jinshi and was much richer than the sisters who sold cosmetics in the shopping mall back then, but she did not buy a house.
She has two siblings, and her parents are urging their son to buy a house, but they never mention her. They say their daughter will get married sooner or later, and if she insists on buying her own house, she might as well go with her future husband instead of being tied down by buying a house in Jinshi.
Jiang Fang later felt grateful to her parents. She had always wanted to come to Beijing to make a living. If her family insisted that she buy a house in Tianjin as a way to honor her parents, she could have done so, but she would have less savings. With more money, she could have built a big career in Beijing.
Of course, first of all, she still had to work. She bought a BMW, got a Beijing license plate, lived outside the East Third Ring Road, and drove to the West Second Ring Road every day to go to work.
She chose to live in the east because it's close to Gongti, Sanlitun, and the bustling CBD, offering an international and fashionable atmosphere, a thriving dining and entertainment scene, and many new projects under construction. She enjoys this thriving, fast-paced lifestyle, a stark contrast to the relaxed lifestyle of Tianjin.
Houses in Beijing are also expensive. For the same price, you can buy a villa in a good location in Tianjin, but the newly built commercial houses here can only be high-rise large apartments.
After looking around, she decided that Lin's real estate's city mansion was the real luxury home. If she was going to buy one, she would buy this kind of house. She really didn't like any other kind of house.
On her first day at the sales office, her BMW broke down on the side of the road. Luckily, she arrived early and wasn't late. She awkwardly walked to the sales office in her high heels. It was still an hour before the scheduled opening time, and she assumed only the cleaning staff and security guards would be there. Unexpectedly, she ran into Wang Xiaohao, who arrived early every day.
As the two chatted, Wang Xiaohao said enthusiastically, "I know how to repair cars. Let me help you take a look. If I can't fix it, you can have it towed to a professional repair shop."
Jiang Fang looked at the photo of the sales champion who had held the title for two consecutive months in the honor column. She repeatedly checked with the person in front of her and asked shyly, "You are Wang Xiaohao. Aren't you the sales champion? Can you also repair cars?"
"Well, what I learned in technical school was car repair, and I have repaired all kinds of luxury cars." Wang Xiaohao didn't know why, but when he saw Jiang Fang for the first time, he felt his face turn red and his heart beat fast. It was a feeling he had never had before. How could this deputy director of the marketing department, who was said to have been hired with a high salary, be so young and beautiful?
Jiang Fang can sell dozens of villas a day, and her business in Jinshi is booming. Even Director Lu has great respect for her. Such a powerful person looks so beautiful when she smiles.
Wang Xiaohao pulled out his usual driver's tool kit and helped check the car. He knew how to fix this problem, and he solved it in less than half an hour. He also helped park the car in the employee parking lot at the sales office.
He said, "See that luxury car over there?"
Jiang Fang was puzzled: "Why, is that car yours?"
In her opinion, salespeople who make money usually buy themselves nice clothes and a nice car, so that they won’t look too shabby when they go out for business and visit clients in the future.
Jiang Fang knew about Lin's Real Estate's expensive custom-made workwear, and she could tell the less-than-100,000-yuan watch on Wang Xiaohao's wrist wasn't a knockoff. After two consecutive months of top sales, it wasn't uncommon for him to buy a luxury car worth around one million yuan and drive it around in style.
Jiang Fang had seen many young people like this in Jinshi before. When women had money, they would think about buying a house or a bag, while when men had money, they would usually buy a car first.
Wang Xiaohao smiled and explained, "No, that's the car our company specially assigned to the marketing department. I used to be the driver of that car. I was responsible for checking if there were any problems with the company's cars. I applied for the driver position at the company."
He's never been shy about his background as a driver, and now whenever the marketing department has an event or visits a client, he'll drive along. But instead of wasting time waiting in the car, he'll go with everyone else, helping carry gifts and observing how they greet clients and what kind of words they use to convince them to accept the gift.
These customer retention skills, which are not limited to selling houses, are not taught in school and he was not exposed to them in his previous work. Now that he realizes their value, he must find a way to learn and understand them.
He also has a deep affection for cars and hasn't forgotten his original dream of opening a repair shop. Now, he plans to make some more money so he can open a 4S shop directly with his own funds without taking out a loan.
Selling luxury homes gave him a thrill, but he also understood the hardships involved. Luckily, he found the right project and the right team, and he could make a killing. But what about the future? After this project sells out, if he continues in sales, how many more houses can he sell?
Compared to other salespeople, he really didn't have much of an advantage. The longer he'd been in the industry, the less clueless and fearless he'd been at the beginning.
He'd always thought his car-repair skills were good and shouldn't be wasted. But if he told his colleagues about it now, it would seem sentimental and overly sentimental. With no one to talk to, he kept it to himself.
Being able to fix Jiang Fang's car was a real pleasure for him. The more he interacted with Jiang Fang, the more he realized that he knew too little about sales and seemed to lack some kind of talent.
He was a little confused. He thought he might as well quit while he was ahead. After this project was over, he would resign and open a repair shop to go back to his old business. Otherwise, he would feel that his life was too fleeting and the money came too quickly, which made him uneasy.
There are rumors that Wang Xiaohao and Jiang Fang, the new deputy director of the marketing department, are dating, but Lin Ruoyan doesn't care about the gossip.
Because she found that in the two months since the opening of the project, she had earned 1.6 billion yuan from the luxury housing project alone. The money she could now spend was enough to keep her going until the second half of 2004.
The income from the luxury housing project alone was more than double the 800 million yuan dowry she had inherited. After deducting taxes and the construction costs of the luxury housing, and paying the 100 million yuan in December, she still had over 1 billion yuan in her account, which was outrageous.
Because she not only made profits from selling luxury houses, but also from other projects she invested in, which together could make up more than 100 million yuan.
I won't mention the international school's dividends. The movie's box office figures have been tallied, totaling 80 million. Box office revenue doesn't equate to investment returns.
Don't be fooled by the fact that this box office is far less than the 300-400 million box office of domestic blockbusters a decade or two later. That's because the annual box office of domestic films during the book's time was less than 300 million. This film alone accounted for nearly one-third of the domestic box office.
Other copyrights sold for over 8 million yuan. The film won awards, with both the director and lead actors receiving top domestic film and television awards. Major local TV stations have snapped up the rights, and the film will continue to air on television. Even if the investment doesn't generate significant returns, the advertising impact will be far greater than those short-lived flops.
After calculating these profits, Lin Ruoyan's account showed a return of approximately 40 million yuan from her film investment, with a profit of 10 million yuan. However, the film's impact was long-lasting, and the advertising was incredibly effective. This effectively cost nothing. National advertising boosted sales of many Lin Group products, more than doubling their previous year's sales.
Lin Ruxu was so happy that she didn't know how to praise her sister. Her sister made so much money from her own projects, and even after making a fortune, she still didn't forget to promote the Lin Group's products. They used to spend millions of dollars on advertising to sell products, but now they can make a movie without spending a penny and even make money. Such a good result is really a good deal.
The Information Department sells various software and collects membership fees. By the end of the year, a count of the past two months showed that they had earned nearly 50 million yuan.
