Chapter 392 Classmates’ Business Is Not Doing Well
"The developer of CapitaLand Cloud View is really not good. I don't recommend you buy that property, but you still have to go take a look and compare it. It can also put some pressure on the property consultant at Huafa Tiandi."
After coming out of the sales office, Zhang Qiyuan explained to Liu Hong and Ye Ping.
"Buying a house requires so many twists and turns? Can't she just tell us the lowest price?" Ye Ping said speechlessly.
"In fact, the property consultants have no choice. If the price is given too quickly, they are afraid that you will negotiate with them later. If the price cannot be negotiated by then, it will be even more unfavorable for the transaction." Zhang Qiyuan explained with a smile.
"Then Zhang Qiyuan, how much do you think you can negotiate for the Huafa house?" Liu Hong asked.
"Based on the current market, 16500 should be no problem."
Liu Hong and Ye Ping nodded, and then went to the parking lot with Zhang Qiyuan.
When they saw Zhang Qiyuan driving out in a Mercedes, the two looked at each other in the car.
"Your classmate is quite rich. He drives a Mercedes-Benz." Ye Ping couldn't help but say.
"After all, he is the boss now. Maybe he bought it just to show off?" Liu Hong guessed.
"That also shows that being an agent is quite profitable. I heard from others before that you can ask the agent for commission when buying a new house. Why don't you mention this to your classmate? See what he says?" Ye Ping said.
"This is not a good idea." Liu Hong hesitated.
"What's wrong with this? We can get commissions if we find other agents, not to mention that he is your classmate, so what's wrong with a little commission?" Ye Ping said unhappily.
"Okay, I'll mention it to him later." Liu Hong thought for a while and said.
Soon, they arrived at CapitaLand Cloud View. Compared with the houses in Huafa Tiandi, Liu Hong and Ye Ping were not interested in CapitaLand's houses. In addition, Zhang Qiyuan had said in advance that the developer of this property was prone to leaving the project unfinished, so they were even less interested.
The two of them obviously didn't know how to manage their facial expressions. Even the property consultant could see that they didn't like CapitaLand's properties. He became less enthusiastic and later found an excuse to leave.
After CapitaLand's property consultant left, Liu Hong hesitated for a moment and said to Zhang Qiyuan, "Qiyuan, I heard from others that if you buy a new house, the agent can give you a commission. This matter..."
"Oh, I was just about to tell you about this. Generally speaking, our company does not allow commission rebates, but I'm the boss and you're my college classmate, so the commission must be rebated. How about this, when the commission is deposited into our company's account, after deducting taxes, I'll return half of it to you?" Zhang Qiyuan said quickly.
Since Liu Hong mentioned it, he naturally had to give Liu Hong this face. Anyway, if ordinary customers asked him for commissions, he would give them back, not to mention his classmates.
But half is the bottom line. If the classmate wants more in return, there is no room for negotiation. Otherwise, he spent so much energy selecting a property for the two of them and came in person to show the property and bargain. He was not doing this to do good deeds.
"Okay." Hearing this, Liu Hong nodded with satisfaction.
"Well, do you have any guarantees? After all, words alone are not enough..." At this time, Ye Ping spoke.
As soon as these words were spoken, the expressions of Zhang Qiyuan and Liu Hong changed.
"Ye Ping, don't talk nonsense. I still believe in Qi Yuan's character." Liu Hong scolded hurriedly.
"It's okay. What Ye Ping said makes sense. Brothers should settle accounts clearly." Zhang Qiyuan smiled slightly, then took out the car keys and handed them to Yang Hao, saying, "Yang Hao, go to the storage box in front of my passenger seat and get a commission form."
He prepared several rebate forms in advance. After all, the people he was showing the properties today were all his college classmates, so the rebate commissions didn't matter. He originally thought that he wouldn't need these rebate forms, but now it seems that these rebate forms will still come in handy.
Soon, Yang Hao brought over the commission form.
"This is the rebate form I prepared earlier. The only column with the amount is not filled in. If you are sure you want to buy it, we will sign this rebate form." Zhang Qiyuan said.
"No, Qi Yuan, forget about the rebate form. I still believe in you." Liu Hong said quickly.
"No, no, no, I still need this thing, and I'll give you some protection."
After saying that, Zhang Qiyuan paused slightly and said, "I estimate that the property consultant from Huafa Tiandi will call you soon. Don't answer it yet. Just hang up and wait ten minutes or so before answering again." Just as Zhang Qiyuan finished speaking, Liu Hong's phone rang.
"Unfamiliar number."
"Let me see." Zhang Qiyuan came over and took a look, then opened his WeChat and said, "This is the phone number of the real estate lady. Hang up first and answer it later."
"it is good."
Liu Hong followed Zhang Qiyuan's advice and refused to answer the call.
About five minutes later, the real estate lady called again.
"Do you want to answer it now?" Liu Hong looked at Zhang Qiyuan and asked.
"Answer it." Zhang Qiyuan nodded.
"Hello." Liu Hong answered the phone.
"Mr. Liu, I just asked my boss for the price. He said if you pay the deposit today, we can give you a discount of 16500 per square meter. This is the lowest price we have."
"Yeah, okay, I got it. I'll discuss it with my girlfriend."
After hanging up the phone, Liu Hong looked at Zhang Qiyuan and said, "The lady from Huafa Tiandi said that she has applied to her boss. If we book it today, we can get it for 16500 per square meter. Qiyuan, do you think it's okay?"
"It depends on your consideration. If you like that property, 16500 is a reasonable price."
Zhang Qiyuan smiled slightly.
In fact, he also knew that if he held on a little longer, he should be able to get some of the price down. After all, the property had been sold for 16000 before, and it just went up a little recently. However, his classmate's girlfriend wanted a commission rebate and a receipt, which made him feel a little unhappy, and he was too lazy to bother with it anymore.
"Okay, I'll discuss it with Ye Ping."
After saying that, Liu Hong discussed in a low voice with Ye Ping for a while.
After a long time, Liu Hong said to Zhang Qiyuan: "Qiyuan, we have decided to buy Huafa Tiandi."
"Okay then, let's go to Huafa now."
"Zhang Qiyuan, can I ask how much the commission is?" Ye Ping asked.
"I really don't know about this. Let me ask." Zhang Qiyuan was too lazy to argue with Ye Ping about the commission, so he called Du Fei directly and asked him about the commission rate at Huafa Tiandi.
"The houses in Huafa Tiandi are relatively easy to sell. Now it's only three o'clock in the morning. What? Are you going to make another deal?" Du Fei said in surprise.
"Well, I'll hang up first. I'll talk to you later."
After Zhang Qiyuan hung up the phone, he said to Ye Ping, "I just asked, the commission for going to the store for three times is about 59400, and the tax has to be deducted. How about I return 25000 to you?"
"Okay, then sign the rebate form here." Ye Ping said.
Zhang Qiyuan readily signed the rebate form, asked Liu Hong to take a photo, and then brought the two of them to Huafa Tiandi to sign the contract.
It was already past one o'clock when the contract was signed. Zhang Qiyuan treated the two men to a meal and then sent them away.
After watching the two people walk away, Zhang Qiyuan sighed. It seems that this classmate's business is not so easy to do. If there are any problems with the real estate project in the future, Liu Hong and his girlfriend will definitely come to him again.
