Chapter 343 Dialogue with Zhou Qing
What is the hottest topic in the real estate agency circle right now? It must be the incident in which the unscrupulous real estate agent of Shangjia Real Estate teamed up with a scammer to defraud the owner of 100 million yuan.
In addition, no one has many clients right now, so everyone just treats this matter as a fun thing.
For the Bei-based real estate agencies, this is a living example. They are happy to share this story online and in their circle of friends. They do this simply for their own clients to see, in order to prevent them from looking for small real estate agencies.
Zhang Qiyuan did not expect the matter to become so serious. He just asked Yang Hao to find some internet trolls to write a few posts. That was all. After that, it was basically the Bei-related agents who posted. They did not post much.
And the video he posted before about fraud has become popular again.
Before this incident happened, most people thought that Zhang Qiyuan was making up a gimmick. Now that it has really happened, it means that what Zhang Qiyuan said in the video was true. Many people who want to sell or buy houses highly praised Zhang Qiyuan for rejecting the liar.
As an intermediary, Zhang Qiyuan was able to stick to his original intention and refused to cooperate with the scammer. However, the store manager surnamed Wu of Shangjia Real Estate, for the sake of performance, partnered with the scammer to deceive the owner. It is obvious who is superior and who is inferior.
His group on Xiaohongshu also became extremely lively, with many customers discussing this matter.
It was not until the end of July that the heat of this incident gradually subsided, but Shangjia Real Estate had already been seriously damaged. Employees left or dispersed. Now, except for some employees who still have a lot of performance revenue that has not been paid, everyone else has basically dispersed.
Seeing this, Zhang Qiyuan knew that the time was almost right and quickly called Zhou Qing.
"Mr. Zhou, do you have time to talk?" Zhang Qiyuan asked.
"I don't think there is anything for you and I to talk about?" Zhou Qing said impatiently. In her eyes, Zhang Qiyuan was just an employee under her. What qualifications did he have to talk to her?
Still as strong as ever.
Zhang Qiyuan sighed in his heart, and then said: "During this period, I have also heard about the Shang family's affairs."
Hearing this, Zhou Qing immediately said unhappily: "What do you mean by calling me now? Are you here to laugh at me?"
"No, no, no, Mr. Zhou, you misunderstood me. I called you to give you some advice. The Shang family's reputation among real estate agents, clients, and owners is terrible. Have you ever considered changing their sign?" Zhang Qiyuan said with a smile.
"Change the sign?"
Zhou Qing's mind moved. This was a good idea. Now, the owners and customers in Guanggu would avoid Shangjia Real Estate as soon as they heard its name. If the agent continued to carry this sign, the agent would probably starve to death.
"Yes, for example, our Qijia Real Estate has a good brand name, and it has a very good reputation here." Zhang Qiyuan said.
Hearing this, Zhou Qing immediately understood why Zhang Qiyuan called her.
"Are you crazy? You only have one store, and you want me to change your sign?" Zhou Qing couldn't help but sneered.
Zhang Qiyuan was stunned for a moment, then came to his senses and said with a smile: "It seems that Mr. Zhou has not paid much attention to me during this period. We now have three stores in Qijia Real Estate. You can search on Gaode Map. I originally wanted to open a fourth store in Optics Valley, but I heard about the Shang family's incident, so I called to ask if there is any possibility of cooperation between us?" "Three stores?"
Zhou Qing was slightly stunned. She didn't expect that Zhang Qiyuan actually opened three stores. But even so, it was still inferior to her Shang family.
"So what if there are three? I have five stores here. If you, Qijia Real Estate, want my Shang family to change your signboard, you are not qualified." Zhou Qing said.
"I remember that the Poly store seemed to have been closed for rectification, and all the employees are gone. Although there are five stores, in the true sense, there should be only four stores. If I open another store here, it will be the same as Shangjia." Zhang Qiyuan said.
"Even so, why should I change to Qijia? Can't I change to other brands? When Beike offered me 2000 million to acquire my company, I didn't agree, not to mention that you want to get something for nothing now." Zhou Qing said in a deep voice.
Zhang Qiyuan said, "I believe that Shell wants to spend 20 million to acquire your company, Mr. Zhou, but that was in the past. Shangjia Real Estate used to have more than ten stores, and the market was relatively good. In addition, Shell was in urgent need of occupying market share at that time, so it was not surprising to offer this price. But now the market situation has dropped sharply, and Shangjia has also gone from 15 stores at its peak to 5 stores now, not to mention that its reputation is so bad now. I believe that even if you, Mr. Zhou, take the initiative to join Shell, Shell may still have to consider it."
"Haha..." Zhou Qing sneered, "Even if I don't join Beike, I can also choose to join Aijia. Aijia has free ports of and 58. Why shouldn't I choose Aijia? Why should I choose Qijia instead?"
"First of all, I'm not calling you to recruit you, but I'm calling you with sincerity. Of course, you can choose Aijia, but your company will have to pay a deposit and a platform fee to Aijia. If something happens, you will have to face the problem of delisting. At that time, you will be controlled by others. I think you, Mr. Zhou, will definitely not be able to accept it."
Zhang Qiyuan paused and said, "You only have four stores now, and I can open a fourth store at any time. If we can cooperate successfully, my fourth store will be opened in Wuchang District. Our Qi family and the Shang family are now equally matched. What do you think?"
"Let's start another company together and make Qijia and Shangjia subsidiaries, just like the relationship between Beike and Lianjia. When the time comes, we will join forces to make it bigger and stronger, and maybe it will become the next Shijia Real Estate."
"Mr. Zhou, it's tiring to run such a big company alone. Why don't we work together?" Zhang Qiyuan said.
After hearing Zhang Qiyuan's suggestion, Zhou Qing was silent for a long time and didn't say anything. If the call was still on, he would have thought that Zhou Qing had hung up.
"Mr. Zhou, you can carefully consider my suggestion. If you agree, we can arrange a time to meet and talk."
Zhang Qiyuan also knew that it was obviously unrealistic to let Zhou Qing make a decision now.
But he believes it is only a matter of time.
As long as the current market situation lasts for another month, the Shang family will definitely not be able to bear it.
What he needs to do now is to take back the store shares held by Luo Gang, Qu Feng and Lu Jia, so that he can have the bargaining chip for a face-to-face dialogue with Zhou Qing.
