Chapter 49: Vicious Tactics

After hanging up the phone, Zhang Wang looked at Chen Yuanzhou: "You really have no way out now. Peng Yong isn't a bad person, but he's quite concerned about gains and losses..."

"Twenty thousand... He dares to ask for that? You really dare to agree? If you actually lose, he'll come after you demanding it!"

Sometimes, I really don't know where this inexplicable confidence of yours comes from!

His tone was somewhat serious, clearly indicating that he was genuinely worried about Chen Yuanzhou.

It wasn't that Zhang Wang didn't believe Chen Yuanzhou was exceptionally capable, but human strength is ultimately finite, and in an industry with such high randomness, betting against someone was indeed somewhat impulsive in Zhang Wang's opinion.

"I know." Chen Yuanzhou didn't explain much, just smiled and said, "I'll go look at apartments first. Looks like I'll have to work hard these next few days."

"You..." Zhang Wang smiled helplessly and watched him leave.

After crossing the road, Chen Yuanzhou stood at the bus stop with his bag, waiting for the bus. Although they were all in the same neighborhood, the distance was still a kilometer or two, and walking would be too tiring.

So at the same time, he was also considering whether he should get a means of transportation.

Most real estate agents ride electric scooters, while those with less means, like Mo Dongyan, ride bicycles.

Of course, store managers like Zhang Wang, or those like Wu Ningfeng who made money during the good times a couple of years ago, would also have cars for transportation.

I don't have a driver's license yet, so I need to get it done as soon as possible. Fortunately, many procedures for getting a driver's license can be handled by scalpers, so I only need to go on the day of the actual test and it won't cause any problems.

"I'll sign up tomorrow," Chen Yuanzhou thought to himself. Just then, the car arrived, and he stepped on.

At the same time, Wu Fangzhi caught a glimpse of him in the commercial plaza behind and involuntarily stopped to look at him.

"What's wrong?" Her best friend asked curiously when she suddenly stopped and looked in one direction.

Wu Fangzhi shook her head: "It's nothing, let's go."

She had arranged to sing karaoke with her best friend at the sunken plaza today. After parking her car, she walked over there and saw Chen Yuanzhou.

After making a pinky promise with him last night, Wu Fangzhi spent the whole day looking forward to his invitation…

She believed that she had already expressed her feelings for Chen Yuanzhou, and that Chen Yuanzhou had received them, so the invitation should come soon.

Throughout the day, Wu Fangzhi kept checking her phone, afraid of missing a call or text message, but Chen Yuanzhou didn't even send a greeting.

Could it be that he doesn't like me at all? Otherwise, even if he doesn't have time to eat, why doesn't he send me a text message to chat?

But I can't just go out of my way to pay someone else, can I?

After a period of wild thoughts, Wu Fangzhi decided to go out for karaoke with her best friend to clear her head. She even chose a karaoke bar right across from the Qinchun Jiayuan store, without knowing what she was expecting.

However, when she saw Chen Yuanzhou still waiting for the bus to head towards the city center late at night, she suddenly stopped worrying about it.

"It seems he's really busy. He's still running around doing business at this hour. We really can't ask more of him," Wu Fangzhi thought to herself.

Her best friend, however, noticed something amiss and teased, "What's wrong? Thinking about your manager again? His store is right across the street, let's go ask him to sing karaoke together!"

"Never mind, he must be very busy with work, let's not bother him."

"Tsk tsk tsk~ You're already feeling sorry for him?"

"Wu Fangzhi, you're finished! You've fallen in love!"

"I'll fuck your grandma's legs..."

Wu Fangzhi pinched her best friend's plump buttocks hard, then ran away quickly.

"Fine! You're asking for it!" Her best friend immediately chased after her, not to be outdone.

The two girls ran towards the karaoke bar, laughing and joking all the way...

Chen Yuanzhou had no idea that Wu Fangzhi had been only twenty or thirty meters away from him; he was busy texting Fang Zhaodi.

Manager Chen, I've arrived at the bus stop you mentioned.

Sorry, I'm still on my way. Please wait a moment.

It's okay, I'm just early. I'll wait for you at your store.

Chen Yuanzhou checked the time: 19:18

It's also a headache when customers are too time-conscious!

He arranged to meet Fang Zhaodi at the New Century store, because Chenxing Community was right next to New Century Community, so all the keys he had stored were at the New Century store.

The original plan was to pick up the keys about 10 minutes early and then go directly to the Morning Star community to view the apartment, without even entering the store.

But Fang Zhaodi arrived first, while she was still stuck at the traffic light intersection. If she entered the New Century store, they might intercept her as a walk-in customer, which would be troublesome.

Thinking of this, Chen Yuanzhou quickly sent another text message: [Ms. Fang, just tell her you're waiting for Chen Yuanzhou when you come into the store.]

……

Although it was well past closing time, Wu Jielei continued working at the store after finishing dinner.

Unfortunately, while the Qinchun Jiayuan store achieved remarkable success after Chen Yuanzhou's meteoric rise, the New Century store's performance had yet to meet expectations.

With the month coming to an end, Wu Jielei didn't want to end up with his store closed for inspection!

Seeing that the store manager hadn't left work yet, the agents naturally felt embarrassed to leave and stayed in the store.

Just as everyone was feeling bored, Fang Zhaodi pushed open the door and entered. She looked around and casually found a chair to sit down.

"Hello!" Sun Qiang, who was facing her, immediately stood up and asked, "Are you renting or buying a house?"

Wu Jielei immediately perked up and silently stood behind Sun Qiang. At the same time, Fang Zhaodi's phone rang, but she didn't have time to look at it.

"Oh, I'm here to buy a house. I have an appointment with Manager Chen from your company. I'll wait for him here."

"Manager Chen?" Sun Qiang immediately exchanged a glance with Wu Jielei behind him, and the two instantly realized that he must be referring to Chen Yuanzhou.

According to Zhuowu Company's regulations, once a customer enters the door and states who they are looking for, it means they are someone else's customer, and others can only help receive them; they are not allowed to intercept them.

Within the same store, everyone generally follows this rule, but between different stores, as long as there's a way to get customers to view properties, it becomes a mess, and whoever can manage it gets the credit!

Wu Jielei was also worried about the performance results. He frowned and thought for a moment, then nodded slightly to Sun Qiang.

Sun Qiang is also a very experienced agent and a capable assistant under Wu Jielei.

Upon seeing Wu Jielei's gesture, he understood that he was about to intercept the customer, and immediately said enthusiastically to Fang Zhaodi, "Manager Chen may not be here for a while. What kind of house are you looking to buy? I can recommend some to you first."

Fang Zhaodi, of course, was unaware of these internal rules of the real estate agency, so she replied, "A three-bedroom apartment with a total price of 60 yuan must be located in the main urban area, with convenient transportation and complete amenities. I know the total price is relatively low, but Manager Chen told me that if I can accept that the building is a bit older, there are still suitable properties available."

Upon hearing her explanation, Sun Qiang immediately understood why Chen Yuanzhou had arranged to meet his clients at the New Century store.

He smiled enthusiastically and said, "That's right, there are many houses in Morning Star Community that meet your requirements. I can take you to see them right away."

"Huh?" Fang Zhaodi was taken aback. "But I already made an appointment with Manager Chen~"

"It's okay, we're all from Zhuowu Company, it's all the same." Sun Qiang said, while Wu Jielei was already taking the key from the key box in the back hall.

After all, they mainly deal with several nearby residential communities, so they have a very high level of control over the properties in Chenxing Community. Recommending a few properties is a piece of cake for them, and they don't even need to check the system.

As they were talking, Wu Jielei had already handed several keys to Sun Qiang, preparing to take Fang Zhaodi to see the apartment.

Just as Fang Zhaodi, who was still confused, was about to leave with Sun Qiang, Chen Yuanzhou finally rushed into the New Century Store from the bus stop.

Seeing the situation before them, how could they not know what Wu Jielei and Sun Qiang were up to?

"Hello, Ms. Fang! I'm sorry I'm late!" he said with a forced smile, panting heavily, before noticing the keys in Sun Qiang's hand.

Taking advantage of Sun Qiang's momentary daze, he stepped forward and forcefully snatched the keys, saying, "You even prepared the keys for me, thank you so much!"

Sun Qiang was grazed by the key and winced in pain, while looking at Wu Jielei.

Now that the main character has arrived, it would be rather unseemly for agents from the same company to argue in front of the client.

But Wu Jielei didn't think so!

Chen Yuanzhou has indeed been in the limelight these past few days, but Wu Jielei thinks it's just good luck. No matter how capable Chen Yuanzhou is, he's still just a newcomer.

The new century store was ready to make a move on this customer. If a newcomer were to snatch it away, wouldn't it be too embarrassing for the store manager?

Thinking this, Wu Jielei chuckled and said, "Little Chen, your Qinchun Jiayuan store is stretching its reach so far? You're even selling in Chenxing Community now?"

He then turned to Fang Zhaodi: "I'm the store manager here. When it comes to understanding the Chenxing community, our store definitely has the most comprehensive knowledge. How about we have Sun Qiang show you the apartment?"

Wu Jielei's implication was that he was using his position as store manager to suppress Chen Yuanzhou while simultaneously trying to win over customers.

At this point, as long as the client is willing to view the property with Sun Qiang, nothing Chen Yuanzhou says will matter.

"?"

Fang Zhaodi was a little confused just now, but even if she's slow to realize things, she can now see that something is wrong. It's obvious that the two stores are competing for customers.

So she hesitated, undecided for a moment...

"Ms. Fang," Chen Yuanzhou stepped directly between Fang Zhaodi and Sun Qiang, blocking the two people behind them, and then said, "Don't worry, I will definitely be able to help you find your ideal house!"

As he spoke, he raised his hand and practically dragged Fang Zhaodi out the door.

Seeing that things had come to this, Sun Qiang frowned and asked Wu Jielei, "Boss, what do we do? Should we continue?"

Wu Jielei's face gradually darkened. Chen Yuanzhou's behavior was completely unexpected. He never imagined that a newcomer would dare to confront him like this.

If we don't teach them a lesson, how will they ever get along in Liangbei District again?

"Hmph~" He instructed Sun Qiang, "Go with him and write down all the houses he shows the clients."

"Bomb the landlord?" Sun Qiang immediately realized, "Isn't that a bit inappropriate?"

Upon hearing this, Wu Jielei glared at him. Helpless, Sun Qiang had no choice but to go outside and follow the two from a distance.

The so-called "bombing the landlord" is a common tactic used by real estate agencies in competition.

Suppose they learn that a client is interested in a house worth 60 yuan, they might call the landlord and say that their client is willing to offer 65 yuan. Taking advantage of the landlord's desire to sell at a higher price, they would then use excuses such as the client being away on a business trip and needing to wait for the client to return to sign the contract to delay the landlord's signing and thus sabotage the deal.

Generally speaking, this method is only used when competing with rival companies for listings and deals. If a company does this internally, it will be punished if it is found to be illegal.

The consequences range from a fine to dismissal.

The difficulty lies in proving who is behind the sabotage; it's a truly malicious tactic!
