Chapter 10: Looking at the House Again Today is Friday and the primary school is over at 3:30. The two arrived at the gate of the elementary school. The school had not yet ended, but there were already many parents waiting here. Just as they put up the display board, a woman in her twenties with light makeup came over to inquire about the housing prices here. Wang Yong immediately started chatting with this sister. Through the conversation, he learned that this sister had a villa within the Third Ring Road of Seoul. The reason why she sent her child to school here was mainly because the primary school next to her home was a boarding school. She felt that her child was still young, so she sent him to study in their new city area. Because it was not convenient to pick up and drop off the child, she wanted to buy a house here. Wang Yong demonstrated his professionalism as an experienced broker. He knew the surrounding communities and real estate projects like the back of his hand. He emphasized on recommending the duplexes and large flats here. The sister was also very interested. However, in such a short time, some children had already lined up, so Wang Yong took the opportunity to ask for the sister's phone number. Zhang Qiyuan didn't say a word throughout the whole process, but just silently learned Wang Yong's chatting skills. He was also afraid that he would say something wrong and make people think he was unprofessional. "This sister is a client who is not short of money." Wang Yong said happily after watching the sister pick up the child and put him in the car. Zhang Qiyuan nodded in agreement. Not to mention the villa within the Third Ring Road, it was obvious that she had to buy a house nearby in order to take care of the children, just like buying vegetables in the market. "I'll go back and prepare the house, and ask her to come out and see the house tomorrow." Wang Yong said with high morale: "So, as long as you go out more, you will still have customers." Didn't you run away because you couldn't stand Xiong Wei? Zhang Qiyuan glanced at him and muttered silently in his heart. Then the two received another customer, a grandfather who came to pick up his granddaughter from school. He wanted to buy a small apartment of more than 80 square meters in Fengyun City for his in-laws to live in. However, if they wanted to buy a house, they had to sell one first.
Wang Yong immediately said that their Shijia Real Estate had many stores in Seoul and could help him sell the property, but when the old man reported the name of a neighborhood, the two had no idea where the neighborhood was. Finally, Zhang Qiyuan searched on Beike and found that this community was a resettlement housing community near the Second Ring Road of Seoul. It was an old and small community. Beike showed that the last transaction was three years ago. This made Wang Yonggan speechless, but as an intermediary, he still assured the old man that he could definitely sell it. After adding the old man's phone number, almost all the children in the school had finished school. Only a few children whose parents had not yet arrived were waiting at the school gate accompanied by their teachers. "Not bad, both of these two customers are quite accurate, but that old man might be a bit difficult. It will be difficult to sell that house. I just asked, and it's on the seventh floor." Wang Yong was in a dilemma. "The seventh floor is okay." Zhang Qiyuan thought of his sixth floor. "You don't understand, right? Their seventh floor is the top floor, and it's the top floor without an elevator. Do you think it's easy to sell?" "Okay, pretend I didn't say that." "Forget it, I don't want to think about it anymore. Let's go back. I have to find a house for that sister." Wang Yong said impatiently. Zhang Qiyuan nodded, and the two of them returned to the store. As soon as they returned to the store, Wang Yong started looking for a house. It has to be said that Wang Yong, who now has a client, is in high spirits. After returning from school, he has been making phone calls looking for houses. "What's going on, Wang Yong, you make me feel unfamiliar." Huang Yi said with eyes wide open. Wang Yong chuckled and said, "Nothing much. Today, Xiao Zhang and I went to set up an exhibition in front of the school and met two potential clients. One of them wants to find a house near the elementary school. You guys can help me find one. I want houses in Nanchen Yayuan and Yujingwan. I want houses with luxurious decoration and ready for move-in." "I have an apartment in Nanchen Yayuan, which is decorated as a wedding room. The floor and building are very good. It's 120 square meters, but the price is a bit expensive, costing 245 million yuan, and the decoration cost 30 yuan." He Guixiang said. "Are there any photos?" Wang Yong asked quickly. "Have." While everyone in the store was looking for a house for Wang Yong, it was already half past five. Zhang Qiyuan went straight to the fourth phase of Blue Sky International. He originally planned to ask Huang Yi to come over, but then he thought that Li Wei actually knew Blue Sky International very well and didn't need him to explain anything. As long as the house was fine and the price was right, it would be fine, so he didn't bother Huang Yi. After borrowing the key to the 10th floor from Lianjia, Zhang Qiyuan had been waiting at the gate of the community.
Until six o'clock, he did not wait for Li Wei, but waited for Xiong Wei and Huang Yi instead. "Xiao Zhang, what are you doing here?" Xiong Wei asked as he lowered the car window. Zhang Qiyuan hesitated for a moment, but still said truthfully: "I found two more houses and asked Sister Li to come and take a look." When he heard it was Li Wei, Xiong Wei immediately lost interest, "Xiao Zhang, sometimes you have to listen to advice. There is no point in following this kind of client." "I still want to try it." Zhang Qiyuan pursed his lips and said. "Okay, then you wait here, we'll go back to the dormitory first." Xiong Wei raised the car window and stepped on the accelerator to rush into the community. Not long after Xiong Wei's car left, Zhang Qiyuan saw Li Wei coming over. "Sister, did you come here by foot? If I had known earlier, I would have come to pick you up." Zhang Qiyuan hurriedly went up to her. "It's okay, it's not far, just a few steps." Li Wei smiled. "This way." After entering the community, Zhang Qiyuan did not take Li Wei to the house immediately, but took her to the playground in the community. At this time, there were already many people playing here with their children. "Sister, take a look. The house we want to see is the fourth floor of this building. There is a small high-rise building in front of it. The lighting is not affected at all. And because of the playground, the distance between the buildings here is much wider than that of the other buildings." Zhang Qiyuan pointed to the fourth floor of Building 5. Li Wei nodded slightly to show her agreement, but when she saw the children playing in the playground, she couldn't help but worry: "With so many children here, will it be noisy?" Zhang Qiyuan smiled and said, "Sister, you don't have to worry about this problem at all. Usually, children won't come here during the day. Only around 5 to 8 o'clock in the evening will there be children playing here." Li Wei thought about it and nodded. Seeing this, Zhang Qiyuan immediately took Li Wei to the door of 402 and knocked gently. "Who?" "This is the agent I just made an appointment with you." Zhang Qiyuan said. A young man about his age opened the door, glanced at the two of them, and said a little embarrassedly: "I didn't have time to clean up the house, it's a bit messy." "It's okay, we'll just take a look." Zhang Qiyuan opened the door, let Li Wei in first, and then followed her in. It’s really a bit messy! There are express boxes everywhere on the ground, a pile of clothes on the sofa, and sheets and clothes drying on the balcony. If it were daytime, it would be difficult for the sun to shine in. This should be a house shared by several young people, Zhang Qiyuan said with certainty. Sure enough, another boy came out after a while. "Can I take a photo? This is my first time here, so I'd like to do a house inspection." Zhang Qiyuan asked. "No problem, but there are two cats in the master bedroom. Be careful when you go in. They are very timid." said the young man who opened the door for him. "Ok." Zhang Qiyuan nodded and started taking pictures. He was careful here and also took the picture of Li Wei's back. He will give feedback to the owner later to show that he is a real customer and not a fake customer to fool him, so that it will be easier to bargain.
Li Wei looked at the house as quickly as usual. She walked around, then went to the balcony to take a look and then looked at Zhang Qiyuan. "Thank you, handsome guy. We'll be leaving first." Zhang Qiyuan understood and said to the young man who opened the door for him. "It's okay." The young man said readily. Zhang Qiyuan then walked out of the room with Li Wei. "This house is nice, but if it's not fully occupied, how much more tax will I have to pay?" Li Wei asked. "I've calculated it for you, it's about 85000." Zhang Qiyuan said preparedly. Hearing this, Li Wei frowned and asked, "How much are you sure you can negotiate for this house?" "It's hard to say. After all, the real transaction price is negotiated at the negotiation table, and the owner is unlikely to tell us the truth. Why don't you give me a price and I'll talk to the owner." Li Wei hesitated for a moment and said, "If you can negotiate down to 155 million, I will sign immediately." "Sister, this house is not next to the highway, and it has no impact on the lighting. It is also fully furnished. The owner will lose a lot of money at this price." Zhang Qiyuan smiled bitterly. Nowadays, customers all bargain with a dragon-slaying sword in hand. "If I buy his decoration, I will also redecorate it. You can go and try it. It's a buyer's market now." Li Wei said with a smile. "Okay, I'll give it a try, but you should also give us a proper budget, so it will be easier to negotiate. Then shall we go and look at another one now?" Zhang Qiyuan said. "Let's not watch that one. Let's just watch this one." Li Wei shook her head and refused. "Row!" Zhang Qiyuan nodded and pressed the elevator button. "By the way, sister, regarding the question of whether this is your first or second house purchase, I asked our colleague who specializes in post-production this afternoon. He said that he can ask a bank manager to help you make it the first house, but we can't guarantee that it will work. If it can be the first house, that would be the best. If not, then still consider it the second house. Of course, if it is really the first house, the bank manager over there will need you to buy a gold note from their bank, which is about eight or nine hundred yuan." Zhang Qiyuan told Li Wei the good news. "Really?" Li Wei asked in surprise. "We can't guarantee that this will be successful, so you should be prepared for the second set." Zhang Qiyuan said quickly, lest Li Wei hold out too much hope and blame him if the first set fails. "I understand this. Okay, Xiao Zhang, you talk to the owner. If it really works out, I will promote it for you on Xiaohongshu. Also, I have a colleague who also wants to buy a house recently. I will introduce him to you then." Li Wei said. "Then let me thank you, sister." Zhang Qiyuan said with a smile. After seeing Li Wei off and returning the key to the 10th floor, he began to think about how to bargain with the owner.
