Chapter 439: A fine of
Gao Min had a reason to be angry. When the smuggling order was first proposed, she did not quite agree with it. After all, the benefits were not proportional to the risks. But both Zhan Wanteng and her husband Liu Guohui agreed to the smuggling order, so she could not say anything.
Now when she heard that Liu Guohui wanted to create his own brand, she couldn't help but think about why she married such a fool. The more well-known brands in Seoul now are Beike, Qijiajia and Aijia. Qijiajia has already taken over the form of low agency fees. If they still want to create their own brand, they will simply die.
If you don't create your own brand, you can only join a franchise, but Shell has too many rules, and their approach is a bit wild, which is not very suitable for Shell. Aijia is now half-dead and is not as good as Qijiajia.
In addition to opening an account on Qijia House Hunting, their store also opened a port on . As a comparison, they clearly felt that the traffic on Qijia House Hunting of Qijia Real Estate was significantly greater than that on .
She ignored a brand that has a low franchise fee, few rules, and obviously much more traffic than , and now things are so tense. If this wasn't her husband, she would definitely want to kill him.
The fact that Zhang Qiyuan rushed over from Shanghai and specifically talked to Liu Guohui about this matter was obviously to give them a chance. However, Liu Guohui has been dazzled by the store's performance recently and thought that he had achieved this by relying on the ability of his own store. But in fact, without the platform of Qijia Real Estate, their performance would be at least half less.
Their store has already changed its sign once. If they change it again, first of all, the agents will be a bit annoyed. They will have to go through the onboarding process again, take new photos, and print new business cards, which is quite troublesome. Frequent changes of signs are not good for their reputation either. If they compete with their peers for customers, their peers may directly tell customers: Oh, they have changed their signs three times in a year. What will customers think then?
The most important thing is that they still have so much new house commission that has not been paid out, and the money is still in their hands. If you fall out with them at this time, it would be strange if they don't withhold your money.
Seeing Gao Min getting angry, Liu Guohui felt a little guilty, but he had just been so tough in front of Zhang Qiyuan, and now he would feel embarrassed to call Zhang Qiyuan and surrender.
"If you want to fight, you can fight me. I definitely won't fight back," said Liu Guohui.
"Okay, I'll fight."
Gao Min took a deep breath, then took out her cell phone and called Zhang Qiyuan.
Zhang Qiyuan, who was driving, glanced at the caller ID and continued driving.
Luo Gang glanced and saw that Zhang Qiyuan did not move or speak.
After a while, the phone rang again, but Zhang Qiyuan still didn't answer it.
"Well, why don't you answer it? Gao Min is more sensible than Liu Guohui. Although Liu Guohui is the manager of that store, the agents in their store still truly respect Gao Min. Now that Gao Min is calling, she must be here to apologize." Luo Gang said.
Zhang Qiyuan didn't say anything and still didn't answer.
It was not until Gao Min made the third call that Luo Gang said, "Okay, stop pretending. If you continue to pretend, people will lose their patience."
Zhang Qiyuan glanced at Luo Gang unhappily and then answered the call.
If their company did not have its own new house channel, he would definitely not answer this call. After all, the Donghu City store is a store that mainly sells new houses, and they do not have many second-hand orders. However, their company now has its own new house channel, so he still has to answer this call.
The Donghu City store is very good at selling new houses. It is not cost-effective to lose such a store just for a private order.
However, he still had to make the necessary gesture.
"Ms. Gao, I'm sorry. I was driving just now and my phone vibrated again. I didn't pay attention. Is there something wrong?" Zhang Qiyuan pretended not to know.
Gao Min knew very well why Zhang Qiyuan took so long to answer the phone, but there was nothing she could do. After all, it was they who were in the wrong this time.
"Mr. Zhang, I'm sorry. I just learned about what you discussed from my husband. First of all, it was indeed our store's fault. I didn't agree with this private order in the beginning, but because the agent wanted to do it himself, we couldn't say anything. After all, they were all old people who had been with us before." Gao Min first admitted her mistake and then pushed the matter onto the agent.
"Really? When I was talking to Mr. Liu just now, he was very tough. He even threatened me, saying that I was forcing him." Zhang Qiyuan sneered.
"I just told him about this situation. I said that Mr. Zhang came back from Shanghai in person to discuss this matter with him, which was to give him a chance. But he is mentally ill, and his performance has been good during this period, so he became a little arrogant. He thinks he is capable and doesn't care about anyone. But to be honest, in the intermediary industry, the platform is the most important. Mr. Zhang, you have built such a good platform for us, we should not be ungrateful. So after knowing this, I immediately called you, Mr. Zhang. Mr. Zhang, don't mind, we accept the punishment for this matter." Gao Min said.
Zhang Qiyuan had to admit that Gao Min was indeed worthy of being the former sales champion of Shangjia Real Estate. Just a few words almost made him calm down by half.
But he must deal with this matter severely, otherwise if everyone follows suit, how will his company make money?
"Ms. Gao, this matter was originally very simple. If General Manager Liu had just admitted his mistake and accepted the penalty, this matter would have been over. However, General Manager Liu's attitude just now was too tough, and I'm afraid that there will be trouble behind him. So, in addition to the 20,000 yuan fine, the franchise deposit must be increased to 50,000 yuan, the same as other franchise stores now. After all, you have a criminal record. At that time, I will announce the punishment of your store to the entire company. It will be written as a fine of 50,000, but it will actually be 20,000, as a warning to other stores. If you agree, then this matter will be over. If you disagree, then you should just delist." Zhang Qiyuan said lightly.
Zhang Qiyuan originally thought that Gao Min would take a long time to think about this matter, but unexpectedly, Gao Min agreed without even thinking about it: "Okay, so, I will transfer the 50,000 yuan to the company account?"
"Uh, well, okay."
Zhang Qiyuan was stunned for a moment, then hung up the phone.
"I told you, Gao Min is much more generous than Liu Guohui in doing things." Luo Gang said with a smile.
Zhang Qiyuan nodded and didn't say much.
Although the private orders at the Donghu City store have been resolved, there must be many private orders that have not been discovered by them. However, if no one reports it, he still does not intend to investigate further. But from now on, if someone places private orders again, don't blame him for being ruthless.
After returning to the headquarters, Zhang Qiyuan also received 50,000 yuan transferred by Gao Min.
"Sister Fei, please announce the handling of the Donghu City store in the company system and the company group, saying that after investigation, the Donghu City store was found to have smuggled orders and there is conclusive evidence. A fine of 50,000 yuan will be imposed to serve as a warning to others. At the same time, a reward for reporting will be set up. As long as someone reports the smuggling orders with conclusive evidence, a reward of 20,000 yuan will be given. In addition, all stores will publicize this reward in a conspicuous place in the company, and people will be sent to check regularly." Zhang Qiyuan instructed Ao Fei.
"Ok."
"By the way, you should also post a message in the partner stores, saying that considering the store holding costs of each store owner, the company has decided to use 10% of its profits to subsidize the rental pressure of each store." Zhang Qiyuan thought for a while and said.
He felt that what Luo Gang said before made sense. After his partner stores made back their investment, he would still own 50% of the shares, while his partners had to bear the store rent and even the employees' salaries. If you calculate it all, the partners would not make much money, which made it easy for them to take private orders.
Now he takes out 10% of the profit to subsidize the rent. If someone still smuggles the bill, don't blame him for being ruthless and just do it according to the contract.
After these two announcements were released in the backend system and group of Qijia Real Estate, they immediately caused a huge wave. The first was the matter of the Donghu City store being fined 133 yuan. Although these stores did not have seniority, everyone basically kept silent. Now the International Community Store is the boss of the direct-operated stores. First, after Li Qian joined the store, the performance is indeed very good. Second, the boss lady Ni Qingqing is also in the store.
Among the partner stores, the Radio and Television Store is the most prominent. After all, the partner of the Radio and Television Store is Luo Gang, who was the first old man to partner with Zhang Qiyuan. If Zhang Qiyuan had not bought back the shares of Qijia Real Estate, Luo Gang would now be considered a shareholder of their Qijia Real Estate, not to mention that Luo Gang is now the person in charge in Seoul.
Among the franchise stores, the Donghu City store is the most prominent. The performance of this store is the only one that can compare favorably with the 133 International Community Store, and even surpasses it.
But even for a store with such good performance, Zhang Qiyuan still fined it, and the fine was so heavy, a direct fine of 50,000 yuan, which made many stores that had private orders feel uneasy.
The second is the whistleblower reward set up by the company, which is 20,000 yuan. In addition, the notice must be hung in a prominent place in the company. If anyone wants to smuggle the order, they must be prepared to be backstabbed by the owner and customers.
Finally, the company took the initiative to propose using 10% of the profits to subsidize the rent of the partner stores, which surprised everyone.
The contract had already been signed in black and white, so there would be no problem even if the company did not provide subsidies. But now the company is willing to use 10% of its profits to subsidize the rent, which is a happy thing for the partners of the joint store.
But when these two announcements came out together, the meaning they expressed is self-evident.
This is what it means to use courtesy before force. Now even the store rent is subsidized for you. If you still want to sign a private order, once you are discovered, you will definitely be held accountable according to the contract.
But no matter what everyone thinks, after this announcement was made, the owners of the partner stores were still very grateful to Zhang Qiyuan, and they praised him in various ways in the group. Zhang Qiyuan also said a few simple words, saying that he also understood the difficulties of each store, so he took the initiative to subsidize each store. At the same time, he said that smuggling orders were the company's bottom line, and that previous cases would not be pursued, but if smuggling orders were found later, they would be handled according to the contract.
In the evening, Zhang Qiyuan invited Wang Yong, Qu Feng, Luo Gang and others to have a drink together.
"What's the situation in Donghu City?" Qu Feng asked.
"It was a private order. When I went to talk to Liu Guohui, he was quite tough and even threatened me. Haha." Zhang Qiyuan sneered.
Now his Qijia Real Estate has become a well-known figure in Seoul. He can still control one or two stores. He believes that after this killing of the chicken to scare the monkey, the subsequent stores will have to think twice before smuggling orders.
"Then why did you admit your punishment later?"
"It was Gao Min who took the initiative to call and speak well of me, so I let him off the hook."
At this point, Zhang Qiyuan paused and said, "But we still need to try to prevent private orders. I have decided to open a relatively large store in the center of each district in Seoul as a signing center. All future orders will be negotiated at the directly-operated stores."
"This is a good idea. What do we in the new district think?" Wang Yong asked.
"It just so happens that the construction of Longhu Paradise Walk has been almost completed. I plan to open a direct-operated store there and let Chen Ze be the store manager. As for the radio and television store, Brother Luo, can you recruit a few more people?" Zhang Qiyuan thought about it and felt that Chen Ze was more suitable to be the store manager of this store.
"Okay, then I'll hand over the radio and television store to Zhao Lei, and I'll go over there to take a look myself. Chen Ze is very suitable to be the store manager." Luo Gang agreed.
"Then I'll trouble you, Brother Luo, to take care of the matters concerning the direct-operated stores in other districts," said Zhang Qiyuan.
"Are you going to the Magic City again?" Qu Feng asked.
Zhang Qiyuan nodded helplessly and said, "I can't help it. The Magic City has just started to pick up. I have to keep an eye on it all the time, otherwise it will be difficult to develop in the future."
"Is there fierce competition over there?" Luo Gang and others asked curiously.
"Hey, that place is not like Seoul, where Shell is the only one in the market. There are two companies of similar size to Shell, two slightly smaller ones, and various small agencies. In addition, there are some luxury real estate agencies, large and small, and some of them are large. There are probably more than a dozen of them, not to mention those individual stores. Do you think the competition is fierce?"
"Fortunately, our Qijia Real Estate has attracted 20 individual stores to join us. As long as we work a little harder, it is not impossible for us to squeeze into the top five in Shanghai."
……
The next day, after Zhang Qiyuan sent Ni Qingqing to the store, he rushed to the Magic City.
The first thing Zhang Qiyuan did when he returned to Shanghai was to contact the fan who had previously reported the smuggling orders from the Donghu City store.
"Mr. Zhou, is it convenient for us to talk?" Zhang Qiyuan said.
"Yes, Mr. Zhang."
"I went back to Seoul to deal with the smuggling order of the Donghucheng store. After investigation, it turned out that what you reported, Mr. Zhou, was true. As for the 20,000 yuan reward, please give me a bank account number and I will transfer the money to you."
"Really?"
"Of course, since I said it in the live broadcast room, then it must be possible, but I may need your help in promoting it," said Zhang Qiyuan.
"No problem, Mr. Zhang, you really keep your word. How will you cooperate when the time comes?"
"It's simple. I'll start the live broadcast in a moment. You can come up and connect to the microphone and talk about this matter." Zhang Qiyuan said.
"Okay, by the way, Mr. Zhang, I have sold my house in Seoul, and I am planning to buy a house in Shanghai. Can you help me find a house when the time comes?"
Upon hearing this, Zhang Qiyuan immediately smiled. It seemed that giving out the 20,000 yuan would not be in vain.
