The whole process of house viewing
When Zhang Yu saw that Jian Jianan didn't answer for a while, he thought she was in the wrong and didn't expect her to give a reason to refute. Little did he know that Jian Jiangnan was actually brainstorming and organizing words to refute him.
Zhang Yu had never taken advantage of Jian Jianan before. Seeing her at a disadvantage, he said smugly, "My parents said buying a house is the stupidest thing to do. The land you want to buy costs a thousand yuan per square meter, so a house would cost tens of thousands. Now, renting a house is only a few yuan a month. Fifty thousand yuan would last me till I die!"
What Zhang Yu said were all the things his parents and grandparents talked about at home. Although he didn't understand them, he just parroted them and wrote them down word for word.
Ever since he found Liang Kang and reported him, his classmates gradually realized that he was a mean person who couldn't stand others doing well. Who would want to make friends with someone who would report to the teacher? Naturally, they left him one after another, and Zhang Yu didn't make many close friends in school.
Later, he blamed all these things on Jian Jianan, thinking that it was Jian Jianan's fault that he was like this. Jian Jianan didn't take him seriously on weekdays, and he couldn't find a chance to take revenge on Jian Jianan.
Now that he finally has a chance to ridicule Jian Jianan, he will not give it up.
As soon as Zhang Yu finished speaking, Duan Duan gasped, "Tens of thousands of yuan? Tens of thousands of yuan for a house?"
Zhang Yu immediately interjected: "Yes, you heard it right. A house costs tens of thousands of yuan. The people in their family are stupid..."
Before Zhang Yu could finish his words, Duan Duan hurriedly interrupted him: "Your family is too rich!" Duan Duan clasped his hands together and placed them on his chest, pleading: "Boss Jian Jianan, I wonder if I have the honor to take care of your afternoon tea snacks today?"
Jian Jianan knew at a glance that Duan Duan was being naughty again, and he joked with his good friend in perfect tacit understanding, "Very good, very good. Not only do you have the honor of catering my afternoon tea today, you can also cater to my afternoon tea tomorrow, the day after tomorrow, and the day after that."
Duan Duan was embarrassed. "Oh, I want to, but my wallet won't allow it!"
The two little girls were laughing together, and the harmonious atmosphere made Zhang Yu very angry.
For a moment, the students around started to make jokes.
"Jian Jianan, your family is really rich, right? You can take out tens of thousands of dollars at once."
"Yeah, yeah, let alone tens of thousands, even a few dollars is a big deal to my mom."
"Of course her family is rich. She owns a big restaurant. People come and go every day. Every time I go home from school, I see people eating there. There's never a day when business is bad."
Duan Duan said softly to Jian Jianan: "Don't pay attention to him, he is a villain, only a fool would listen to what he said."
Zhang Yu watched helplessly as his words not only had no effect, but instead helped Jian Jianan get some good-natured teasing in the class, and he was so angry that his nose was almost crooked.
To add fuel to the fire, Jian Jianan turned around and looked at Zhang Yu. "We definitely considered buying a house carefully. Once the market is liberalized, the price of houses will only get higher and higher. Even though it's only 50,000 now, the house will appreciate in value in the future. Not to mention 50,000, it will be more than 500,000!"
Zhang Yu didn't believe it at all, so Jian Jianan said, "In August of this year, Shenzhen was officially established as a special economic zone. Everyone knows this, right?"
Shan Jiqing was the first to speak up: "I know about this. This year, four cities across the country were selected as special economic zones, and Shenzhen is one of them. It's also vaguely said that it's the first among them."
Shan Jiqing was originally not interested in these things and only wanted to bury himself in his books and studies.
However, the father of the family is engaged in economic development. Whenever he is in the mood, he will explain the results of his work to the mother and son at the dinner table.
Outside, he has a best friend, Jian Jianan, who always pays attention to the trends of various policies in order to make money. He knows all about them and often discusses them with Shan Jiqing.
Thanks to these two people, Shan Jiqing also has a general understanding of various policies.
The establishment of the Shenzhen Special Economic Zone was a big event, and he naturally knew it.
Seeing his friend being so understanding, Jian Jianan nodded with satisfaction, "Indeed, it's true. Maybe we can't see what it means now, but in the long run, it still has great potential. Besides, even if the house doesn't appreciate in value, it doesn't matter. We're not speculating on real estate, we're buying it for our own use."
Her words were so domineering that Zhang Yu, who came to stir up trouble, was immediately made to look like an ignored clown. He hid in the corner and looked at Jian Jianan, who was surrounded by the crowd and chatting with laughter, feeling dark and aggrieved.
Zhang Yu felt aggrieved until he returned home for dinner.
At the dinner table, he aggrievedly suggested to his family: "Mom and Dad, why don't we also subscribe to a house in Donghu Liyuan!"
"My classmates said this house has great potential and will definitely appreciate in value in the future!"
When Mr. and Mrs. Zhang heard what their son said, they immediately put down their chopsticks and looked at him.
"Hmm? Xiaoyu, what are you talking about? Who told you that?"
Zhang Yu repeated what Jian Jianan said today and looked at his parents eagerly.
Mother Zhang was hesitant. She actually wanted to buy a house. Her family had the conditions to do so. The four adults all had jobs and had saved a lot of money over the years. They could still come up with at least 50,000 or 60,000 yuan.
However, Mr. Zhang has always opposed this plan because of his contempt for his colleagues.
When he heard his son's words, he immediately objected, "I told you it's not worth the money. This project has only just been launched, and it's still unknown whether it can be implemented. It might become an unfinished building by the end of the year. By then, tens of thousands of dollars will have been wasted."
"Also, why do you just follow the crowd? Don't you have any subjective opinions of your own? She's a little girl, about the same age as you, why do you just do what she says? You've become a follower at such a young age?"
Mr. Zhang looked down upon his son's behavior and immediately taught him a lesson at the dinner table.
Seeing her grandson about to cry, Grandma Zhang immediately tried to smooth things over: "Okay, okay, son, stop talking too much. Xiaoyu must be tired from school today, and he still has homework to do later. Just let him have a good rest!"
After hearing this, Mr. Zhang stopped his long speech and concluded: "It's still appreciating? Bah, it's good enough that we don't lose money in the end!" and let his son do his homework.
Grandma Zhang finally gave Mother Zhang a fierce look, thinking it was all her fault. Who told her to think about buying a house every day and lead her grandson astray?
***
Nothing that happened in the Zhang family could ruin Jian Jianan's good mood. The family was preparing to go house hunting!
In order to have time to look at houses today, Jian Yangping and Su Qinxuan rushed to finish their next work in advance and free up today's time, so that they could have a day off to look at houses.
Fortunately, nothing major happened at the Nanbei Hotel these days, and Yang Tao was a good hand, so Jian Yangping and Su Qinxuan had nothing to worry about.
Donghu Liyuan is located in Luohu District, and it is a short walk from the current Jian family building.
Although we were here to view houses, these buildings had not actually been fully built yet. There were only one or two model houses. The sales office was fully equipped, and there were quite a few sales staff on site.
At a glance, all you see are sales staff wearing uniform, but there are very few people coming to buy or view houses.
Jian Jianan took the lead and walked in front. As soon as he came in, he went straight to the huge advertising sign in the front.
All the apartment types are drawn above, from 50 square meters to 70 square meters, from two bedrooms and one living room to three bedrooms and two living rooms, all are available for you to choose from.
Jian Jianan jumped up in front with great interest. Just as he was watching intently, a pleasant and melodious voice suddenly sounded in his ears.
"Little sister, are you interested? Which house do you like?"
When Jian Jianan turned around, he saw a woman in uniform looking at him and smiling. She was a staff member selling houses.
Jian Jianan nodded and took the initiative to take over the conversation: "Yes, sister, I am very interested in this house. Can you tell us about the characteristics of these units?"
The woman smiled slightly, "Of course!"
"Little girl, how many people are there in your family?"
"Four people, two adults and two children."
"In that case, I recommend this..."
The two women, one big and one small, soon began talking.
This lively scene made the men who were sitting there lazily like old men at the back complain.
"Tsk! The sales maniac strikes again!"
"I don't understand what Xiao Liu is thinking. Is it necessary? He just stares at a little girl. Isn't that annoying?"
Nowadays, professional sales staff are very scarce, and the government is hurriedly recruiting people for this commercial housing project.
No matter what your previous profession was or what you did, as long as you have a good image, decent facial features and good eloquence, you will be recruited to sell houses.
At the beginning, everyone was ambitious and eager to sell one of the houses.
However, gradually, most people gave up their previous ideas, for the simple reason that they simply couldn't sell them!
Not to mention that there are very few people who come to see the house. A good cook cannot cook without rice. They go to work every day and have no one to show their full skills to. How can they sell the house?
Even if someone is interested and comes to see the house, they are just interested and there is no way they will decide to buy it on the spot.
Many times I talk until my mouth is dry and I feel like I have to say everything I have not finished saying in my lifetime. The person I want to convince has no intention of buying a house.
As a result, these young people who came to sell houses became lifeless and unmotivated. Girls like Liu Qingsong were the exception. Like them, she had never opened a shop or sold a house, but she was full of energy every day and would approach and talk to anyone who came to sell her houses.
"Hey, actually, I saw that girl when she first came in. I was the first person to make eye contact with her. I turned my head away at the time. I didn't want to go. Hey, how could a teenage girl like her come up with so much money?"
A male voice with malicious intent rang out from the crowd sitting on the chairs.
Although there were two adults following her, and they were obviously her parents, judging from their clothes, they didn't look wealthy, so this person became even more lazy and didn't want to move.
Liu Qingsong is seriously introducing the house to the girl in front of him with good work ethic.
After Jian Jiabei finished looking at the sign advertisement, he also came over from behind.
Originally, he had no interest in it. Firstly, it would cost a huge amount of money, and secondly, in his eyes, buying and looking at houses was not as attractive as going out to play basketball.
But when he got here, he realized that his previous thinking was really narrow-minded. This place was really beyond his expectations.
This commercial housing complex is different from all the houses their family has lived in before.
First, these houses were built within a residential complex, ensuring high security. There were guard posts at the gate, preventing anyone from entering. Visitors were required to register. This barrier immediately blocked the group of people from my hometown who had come all the way here to cause trouble.
"Yes, there is a security booth at the door. After the completion of construction and delivery of the houses, professional security personnel will be on duty. The security of our community is still very guaranteed." Liu Qingsong introduced.
Secondly, in Jian Jianan's view, this commercial housing project with the participation of Hong Kong businessmen is the future housing model.
Looking at the greenery in this community and the tall exterior walls, I wonder how much more advanced it is than the original old houses.
Jian Jianan looked up at his parents and knew that they were also very moved.
Liu Qingsong observed his expression and said enthusiastically, "I'll take you to see the house in person. No matter how much I talk about it, it's useless if you don't see it in person. You won't be able to appreciate its true beauty."
Jian Jianan was naturally the first to agree, "Okay, sister, take us to see it!"
As the four people left, several sour voices came from the group of men: "Hey, are you taking them to see the house again? Come on, guys, let's start a bet. Let's bet on whether Xiao Liu can open the business this time!"
"No, I bet you can't!"
"I can't bet with you! Hahaha!"
Liu Qingsong ignored him and enthusiastically led the four people around, walking around like they were familiar with the place, and soon they arrived at a model house.
As she walked, she turned back and introduced herself to the four people. "Our partner, Mr. Liu, a Hong Kong businessman, and his team are all very professional builders. This model apartment was built under their strong recommendation. Although the other rooms are still under construction, we can see what the future house will look like from these model rooms. We can guarantee you that if you buy a house, its quality will not be inferior to any of the model rooms, but will be better."
Jian Jianan was multitasking, looking at the scenery along the way and nodding continuously to indicate that he had heard what Liu Qingsong said.
Su Qinxuan and Jian Yangping asked a lot of questions. First, they asked how many units there were in the house, then they asked how many people had bought the houses and what types of houses they bought.
Liu Qingsong smiled and patiently answered: "There are several new buildings, just behind that building. Each apartment has a different layout. It depends on personal choice!"
"As for how many people bought it, I can only say that quite a few did, but we can't disclose the customer list."
"Come on, we're here, please come in."
As they were talking, they arrived at their destination. Liu Qingsong opened the door and welcomed Jian Jianan and the other three in.
"Wow!"
As soon as they came in, the whole family was surprised. They had seen a lot of the world in the past year and could be said to be knowledgeable. It was difficult for any new things to cause them to be amazed.
But once they came in and saw all this new stuff, they still stared at it intently.
This is so different!
Everything you see is brand new, and the surface is shining, which attracts visitors all the time.
This two-bedroom, one-living room apartment has an excellent layout. As soon as you enter, you will see bright sunshine. It happens to be afternoon, so the sun is not too scorching, and it feels warm on people. The soft furnishings in the room are all available and very well arranged. The warm sunlight and the floating white curtains make people think of themselves lying here to take a nap.
If I was three points excited before coming in, now I am five points excited.
Jian Jianan continued to explore the model house. She walked into one of the rooms and saw a 1.8-meter bed in the middle, with a wardrobe and a desk next to it.
Liu Qingsong considerately turned on the desk lamp, and the warm yellow light immediately enveloped the room. Jian Jianan could almost imagine her studying alone in the room at night.
Jian Yangping and Su Qinxuan were also very satisfied with the house. Not to mention the soft furnishings, just look at the modern facilities and furniture, flush toilets and gas stoves, as well as refrigerators, balconies and washing machines, all of which are very much in line with adults' preferences.
Liu Qingsong saw that the family had almost finished looking at this house, and immediately appeared at the right time: "Next, I will take you to see another house, which has three bedrooms and two living rooms."
She said calmly: "In fact, in my opinion, that house is better than this one."
???
They are already very satisfied with their current house, but they didn’t expect there would be a better one than this one?
This sentence immediately aroused everyone's curiosity.
When I got to the next door, I saw that it was true.
The layout of three bedrooms and two living rooms is better than that of two bedrooms and one living room.
It is not only more spacious, but also more scientific. The corridors in each room are wider and no longer so cramped.
No matter what the expressions on the Jian family's faces were, Liu Qingsong maintained his previous attitude and introduced them one by one in detail and patiently.
The questions from the Jian family became more in-depth and detailed one by one, but Liu Qingsong's face did not have the impatience expression of her other colleagues who became impatient when asked too many questions. Instead, her smile deepened.
"Well, you're asking about the heating of this house. Don't be ridiculous. I've experienced winters in Guangdong, and they're not that cold. The temperature difference between a Western-style house and a self-built house isn't that big. On the contrary, the Western-style house is a little better. The building materials and various components used in it can better keep out heat and cool in the summer, so it's not a problem to keep warm in winter."
The morning passed in a flash, and soon it was time for lunch. The Jane family of four were satisfied and ready to say goodbye.
Did you ask them whether they want to buy a house?
So, why bother asking? Of course I bought it!
The information their daughter had submitted before, especially the policy of giving household registration when buying a house, made the two of them very excited.
After today's on-site inspection, they finally decided that they really wanted to buy this house.
However, the family had disagreements on how many houses to buy, what type of houses to buy, and how many houses to buy.
This disagreement mainly occurred between Jian Jianan and her brother.
"Three bedrooms and two living rooms! Let's buy a house with three bedrooms and two living rooms! The bigger the house, the better. Mom and Dad, you have seen how spacious the house we just saw is! There are still three rooms, one for Mom and Dad, and one each for my brother and me. Isn't that just right?!" This was what Jian Jianan was trying his best to instigate.
"No! I want a two-bedroom, one-living room apartment. Why does it need to be so big? It's not an ice rink. Can you skate in it? A house that is big enough is enough. One is enough. Don't waste that money!" This was the pragmatic reason given by Jian Jiabei.
Neither of them would give in, and they started arguing so loudly in the sales office that it was like eight hundred dancing lions were playing around inside.
The two adults watched the joke for a while before stepping forward to separate the siblings. Su Qinxuan said with a smile, "Alright, alright, you two, stop making trouble. Your father and I have already made the decision."
"snort!"
"snort!"
Jian Jianan finally let go of his brother reluctantly and looked at his parents, waiting for the news they were going to announce.
"We decided to buy—"
“Two sets!”
What?
Jian Jianan was still waiting to decide which apartment to buy when he heard his parents say they wanted to buy two. He couldn't understand what was going on for a moment and just stared blankly.
"Yes, you heard me right. This time, we're going to buy two apartments. One with two bedrooms and two living rooms, and one with two bedrooms and one living room. We'll then knock down the wall in the middle to make it a large flat."
Um?
This is a path the two children had never imagined. Is it possible to do it this way?
They were still choosing which apartment to buy, but Mom and Dad just waved their hands and decided to take both?
What a generous move! It seems the Nanbei Hotel's sales this year are strong, and their future performance has given them great confidence! That's why they're willing to spend a little over 100,000 yuan on a house.
The two children didn't understand, but to Jian Yangping and Su Qinxuan, this was a matter of course.
One reason is that the children are older, and sleeping together will always be inconvenient, especially since there is only a boy and a girl in their family, who are in urgent need of personal space.
Another issue is the household registration, which is what the two adults are most worried about.
Buying a house gives you three household registrations, but there are four people in their family, and they can’t leave any one out. If you think about it comprehensively, doesn’t it mean they have to buy two houses?
Su Qinxuan and Jian Yangping made their decision. They turned to look at Liu Qingsong, who had been following them, and said, "Xiao Liu, we want these two apartments. Please help us choose the floor and building number!"
Liu Qingsong was not ecstatic after getting the confirmation that the deal had been made. Instead, he maintained a calm expression and calmly selected with them one by one.
"I'd like to recommend Building No. 6 to you. First, it has the best location. It's right in the middle of the community, a perfect distance from both the main gate and the back gate. It's also a good distance from the road, so it won't be too noisy."
"One more thing," she said, lowering her head rather sheepishly. "People here do believe in certain things. Look at this number, isn't it a good number? Six sixes are auspicious, meaning everything in life and study will go smoothly!"
What she said is true. People in Guangdong say it in a nice way as respecting traditional customs, but in a bad way as superstition. It is common to buy things with numbers that symbolize good luck.
The five people were immersed in discussion, and this lively scene did not look very good in the eyes of people with ulterior motives.
"Isn't today our lucky day? Can we really open?"
"Even if it's a lucky day, it doesn't necessarily mean it's your lucky day. It's Xiao Liu's lucky day!"
"I don't think this family can afford it. They're just bragging, buying two sets at once. Look at those big bosses from other companies, their wallets are so thick, and they look so thick on their waists, but they don't have the generosity of this family who buys things as they say. They must be pretending!"
"Hey, hey, hey, they're up! Look, look!"
As they were talking, the Jian family had already made their selection. They stood up and shook hands with Liu Qingsong. Everyone around them pricked up their ears to listen.
Who doesn't want to make money? This group of people come to the sales office to make money. A house costs tens of thousands of yuan, and the commission for each person is at least one or two hundred yuan. It is a huge sum of money. After all, in this era when the average annual salary is only a dozen yuan, it is not easy to earn a hundred yuan.
Now that they saw that Liu Qingsong, a girl who was younger than anyone else, had a good chance of getting the deal and getting a huge commission, they were actually feeling jealous.
Su Qinxuan lifted the hair beside her ear and said with satisfaction: "Okay, let's leave it at that for now. My wife and I will go get the money first. You can keep these two sets for us. We will come back this afternoon."
???
What? You're coming this afternoon?
Doesn't that mean you should pay now?
Upon hearing this, the men behind immediately grinned and looked at each other, their eyes full of the meaning of "as expected". They had expected this situation a long time ago. No matter how they looked at it, Jian Jianan and the others did not look like the kind of people who could come up with a hundred thousand dollars at once, so it was normal that they could not afford it.
They look down on the behavior of pretending to be strong even if it means swelling up one's face.
It’s still afternoon, it’s probably just an excuse. I’m afraid we won’t be able to wait until evening!
If it were someone else, they would have looked a little strange under such ups and downs, not to mention a drastic change of expression. However, Liu Qingsong remained calm today, as if he had been saved.
She put away the materials on the table, stood up and greeted the family, saying as she left, "Okay, I'll wait for you here."
Liu Qingsong was actually still anxious. The people in their sales department not only had a basic salary, but also a commission performance, which meant that they could get a commission of different proportions for every house sold. She had just entertained the family of four in front of her and thought she could make a decision on the spot, but in the end she still had to wait and the outcome was still unknown.
In fact, she was not sure about paying in the afternoon. She didn't know whether the family in front of her would come in the afternoon, but she decided to wait. Because when he came to do this job, he secretly reminded himself in his heart to be patient and responsible, to treat every customer who came to consult equally, and not to change his attitude based on whether they placed an order or not.
Liu Qingsong waited until evening.
Not to mention the afternoon, the whole afternoon had passed, and the family still hadn't come. When night fell, the other people in the sales office finished their day-long work sitting on chairs, stretched their bodies and wanted to leave, when they saw four figures slowly walking towards them. They were Jian Jianan's family of four.
If Jian Jianan knew what these people in the sales department were thinking, she would definitely defend herself.
I wasn't late on purpose, it just happened suddenly and I was tripped up by something!
