Chapter 77: The Manager’s Crackdown: The Order Goes to the Competent
"Oh, right."
"It would be best if the seller is straightforward."
"I want to finalize it in the next few days. Once we do, I can pay in full."
Normally, very few people pay in full when buying property.
Most people make a down payment and then apply for a loan for the rest.
But Lin Feng was different.
He had the system to cover for him.
It was basically the equivalent of making a ten-percent down payment, and the system would reimburse the rest.
It was a pretty awesome feeling.
Hearing this, Huizi glanced at Lin Feng.
But she didn’t say anything.
A person who could afford a ten-million-yuan storefront...
’...is truly beyond my imagination.’
Paid in full.
’Does that mean Lin Feng has at least ten million yuan on hand?’
Huizi collected her thoughts and continued writing on the paper.
"Those are the basic requirements."
"A final price of around ten million, a good location, and over two hundred square meters."
These requirements weren’t particularly harsh.
After all, the ten-million-yuan standard was right there.
With the An Family’s resources, it would be relatively easy to find a few suitable properties.
"Understood, Mr. Lin. Do you have any requirements regarding the timeline?"
Huizi asked.
"If possible, I’d like to complete all the paperwork during the National Day holiday."
"Because I might be a bit busy for the next while."
There was the matter with Yang Tianming.
He had only given Lin Feng two months.
So Lin Feng had to hurry up and get all the funds ready.
In other words, the property transfer had to be completed within a week.
Because in the remaining time, he still had to use the property to apply for a bank loan.
That process was also extremely time-consuming.
"Within a week?"
Huizi murmured, then nodded.
"Don’t worry, Mr. Lin. I will definitely find you a suitable property within a week."
It didn’t matter how Huizi went about finding the property.
None of that had anything to do with Lin Feng.
He only wanted results.
After signing the agency agreement, the two parties had reached a preliminary cooperation agreement.
In reality, this agency agreement didn’t have much practical effect.
After commissioning the An Family, Lin Feng could still go and commission others at the same time.
Its only purpose was to ensure that after they found a property for him, Lin Feng wouldn’t turn his back on them.
And contact the seller directly, bypassing the real estate agency.
Of course, Lin Feng wouldn’t stoop to doing something like that.
Even though it would save him a considerable commission fee.
’But so what?’
’Why invite a heap of trouble over it?’
’I’m not that stupid.’
’I know which is more important.’
To others, an eighty-thousand-yuan commission might be a lot.
But to Lin Feng, it was nothing anymore.
It wasn’t that Lin Feng had gotten arrogant.
It was just that eighty thousand yuan really was nothing to him now.
’I’m about to buy a ten-million-yuan storefront in full. Why would I care about eighty thousand?’
After the agency agreement was signed, Huizi personally saw Lin Feng out.
"Mr. Lin, do you need me to drive you?"
Huizi asked aloud.
"You have a car?"
Lin Feng turned to glance at Huizi.
’If I remember correctly, Huizi just started this job.’
’And judging by her age, she probably just graduated from college.’
"Um... it’s a company car."
"But I have a driver’s license, so please don’t worry."
A little flustered by Lin Feng’s question, Huizi quickly explained with a hint of embarrassment.
Hearing Huizi’s answer,
Lin Feng couldn’t help but smile.
"No need. As I said before, I drove here."
"Miss Huizi, you should focus on helping me find the storefront I need as soon as possible."
Huizi was beautiful.
But Lin Feng had no intention of getting too involved with her for the time being.
’At least, Eldest Young Master Lin has no time for philandering right now.’
"Okay, take care then, Mr. Lin."
Huizi was still a little nervous.
But Lin Feng just waved his hand and walked straight toward the parking lot across the street.
Then, right in front of her, he got into his car.
Looking at the car Lin Feng was driving,
Huizi was stunned for a moment.
But she quickly recovered.
’A person who can afford to buy a ten-million-yuan storefront in full... ’
’...driving a 7 Series isn’t really something to be surprised about, is it?’
However, this scene also greatly boosted Huizi’s confidence.
Although Lin Feng hadn’t intentionally flaunted his wealth,
this scene alone was enough to convince Huizi that he had enough money to buy the storefront.
This made Huizi’s confidence in this deal soar.
’As long as I can find a storefront that meets Mr. Lin’s expectations,’
’I’ll definitely be able to close this deal.’
The thought of the commission, which would be tens of thousands of yuan...
...made Huizi’s heart thump wildly in her chest.
Her very first deal in her career was a ten-million-yuan order.
This filled Huizi with confidence in her chosen profession.
"You can do it, Huizi!"
"You have to land this deal!"
Huizi told herself silently, then turned and went back inside.
However, after going in, she found that many of her colleagues were staring at her.
"Huizi, could you come in here for a moment?"
the store manager called out as soon as Huizi came in.
"Oh, okay."
Seeing the strange looks from her colleagues around her,
Huizi could only brace herself and go in.
But after entering, she discovered that Lü Na, the agent who had tried to steal her client earlier, was also there.
"Store Manager."
Huizi asked, "Is something wrong?"
The store manager looked at Huizi, thought for a moment, and then said, "Huizi, I had Lü Na give you two rental listings."
"Your experience level isn’t deep enough. You can’t handle such a big deal."
"Start by practicing with some rental listings."
’Can’t handle such a big deal?’
It was true.
Normally, the deals the An Family agency handled...
...were mostly rental listings.
Deals for outright purchases of houses or storefronts were rare.
Even if there were, they wouldn’t have been assigned to her.
A deal in the ten-million-yuan range.
The entire Xiang City branch of the An Family agency didn’t see many of those in a year.
It was indeed a very large deal.
’But what does that have to do with me?’
’I won this deal myself.’
’What does it have to do with experience?’
’Even the client, Mr. Lin, didn’t say anything.’
"That’s right, Huizi. Your experience is still a bit shallow. Just let me have this deal."
"I can give you a few more rental listings."
Even the usually arrogant Lü Na was now smiling.
It was as if she were trying to coax Huizi.
But Huizi knew very well in her heart.
’This so-called coaxing...’
’...is just for this ten-million-yuan deal.’
A ten-million-yuan deal could earn a commission of tens of thousands.
But how much could she get from a rental listing?
Fifty yuan?
Or a hundred?
Anyone who wasn’t an idiot would know not to agree to this.
Taking a deep breath,
Huizi finally looked at the store manager.
"Excuse me, Store Manager, may I ask a question?"
"If I give up this deal, who will take it over?"
Huizi showed no sign of impatience.
On the contrary, she was extremely calm.
"Of course, it will be given to someone who has the ability to complete it."
"Huizi, you have to be considerate of my position."
"After all, corporate headquarters assigns us quotas every year."
"Headquarters pays close attention to deals in the ten-million range like this."
"I have to ensure the deal isn’t snatched away by another company."
"Assigning a more experienced person to take over is something I have no choice but to do."
The store manager wore a helpless expression.
But all three people present knew exactly who this "more experienced person" was.
Huizi turned and glanced at Lü Na.
"Don’t look at me. In terms of seniority and experience, I am indeed much more seasoned than you."
When Lü Na saw Huizi look over,
she couldn’t help but roll her eyes.
"You two tricked me last time. Do you think I’ll be tricked again?"
With things said to this point, everything was now out in the open.
A trace of anger now showed on Huizi’s face.
But under the pressure, she had been holding it back.
"Besides, Store Manager, didn’t you just say this deal was mine?"
Huizi looked at the store manager again.
"I didn’t know at the time that..."
The store manager had just started to speak,
when Huizi cut him off.
"That you didn’t expect this deal to be so valuable?"
Huizi let out a dry laugh.
"In any case, I won’t agree to it."
Rebutted by Huizi, the store manager’s brows furrowed slightly.
He glanced at Lü Na and said, "Lü Na, you can go out first. I need to have a word with Huizi."
As if she knew what the store manager was about to do,
Lü Na nodded and gave Huizi a meaningful look.
Then she turned and walked out of the store manager’s office.
She even pulled the door shut behind her...
