Chapter 65: Laying Out the Whole Story
Chapter 65: Laying Out the Whole Story
Lou Chunhua's question left Mo Dongyan speechless. In her nervousness, she was momentarily at a loss for words.
Seeing this, Lou Chunhua frowned, her tone becoming even more serious: "Xiao Mo, you're clearly right here, how did you sign the order?"
"I...I..."
Mo Dongyan hesitated for a long time, unsure how to respond to Lou Chunhua's question.
Seeing this, Lou Chunhua's doubts grew stronger.
"Little Mo~"
"lead!"
Zhang Wang interrupted, then chuckled awkwardly at Lou Chunhua, "It has nothing to do with Xiao Mo, uh~ it's me and Xiao Peng."
"Hmm?" Lou Chunhua raised an eyebrow and looked at him.
Zhang Wang had no choice but to explain, "Didn't Boss Wang set targets for this month? Xiao Peng is worried... After all, Xiao Peng worked for me for a while, and now that he's in a difficult situation, he's asking me for help. I can't just ignore him."
Upon hearing this, Lou Chunhua asked seriously, "Zhang, are you saying that you deliberately put this deal under Xiao Peng's name to help him boost his sales performance?"
"Yes," Zhang Wang replied, his mind racing. He slowly said, "Boss, Yijingyuan store is, after all, a store in our Liangbei District, and it's only been open for a year. It's not like New Century or our Qinchun Jiayuan. Its performance has always been relatively average. If it really gets closed for review, I'm worried that it will really have to close down."
"If it really comes to that, you won't look good either..."
Zhang Wang hadn't been a store manager for nothing all these years; he knew exactly what Lou Chunhua cared about, so he chose to tell the truth, only omitting the bet.
Lou Chunhua sighed helplessly after hearing his explanation.
Lou Chunhua became a regional manager based on her performance, and she was well aware of the ins and outs of the industry. After a little thought, she knew that the truth was probably not much different from what Zhang Wang had said.
Although Zhang Wang's behavior was somewhat outrageous, it didn't harm the company's interests and also helped save face for himself...
Thinking of this, Lou Chunhua glanced at Mo Dongyan again.
Seeing this, Zhang Wang quickly added, "Xiao Mo is a newcomer. The job market is so bad right now, it's hard to recruit people. Xiao Peng just wants to protect a newcomer from being laid off by the company. She doesn't actually know anything; she's just following orders."
"Besides, although Xiao Mo is a newcomer, I've seen her working very hard these past two days. It would be a real shame if she were let go..."
His words completely absolved Mo Dongyan of any wrongdoing.
Lou Chunhua, of course, understood the implied meaning and replied, "So you're the only good person? Then take a look at this~"
As she spoke, she pointed to the report on her computer screen and said to Zhang Wang, "Xiao Mo didn't sign any contracts, but her data is the best in the entire region. Of course, I can see that she's hardworking."
"If you want to retain a new employee, you can just tell me. It's not like you'll definitely be let go if you don't sign a contract. It's not like I'm being heartless."
Zhang Wang nodded hurriedly, putting on a submissive and submissive look as if he was being scolded, but in his heart he was thinking, "Don't you know your nickname 'Master Lou'?"
A name might be chosen incorrectly, but how could a nickname be wrong?
But now Lou Chunhua has clearly backed down and doesn't intend to pursue the matter, so Zhang Wang cooperates and takes the scolding. At the same time, he is determined to make Chen Yuanzhou spend some money by the end of the month, otherwise this scolding will have been for nothing.
After reprimanding Zhang Wang, Lou Chunhua waved for Mo Dongyan to continue her work, then whispered to Zhang Wang, "So, according to you, all the orders Xiao Mo signed these past two days were given to Xiao Peng by you?"
"Hey~" Zhang Wang grinned and nodded, "Yeah, that's right."
Lou Chunhua rolled her eyes. Although she didn't intend to pursue the issue of them randomly placing orders, she still needed to clarify the matter.
She pressed further, "There were three deals, right? Who signed them?"
"..." Zhang Wang blinked and said playfully, "Boss, what do you think?"
Lou Chunhua was taken aback upon hearing this. Although she immediately had a suspect in mind, she found it difficult to accept the fact.
"Don't tell me... Chen Yuanzhou signed them all by himself?"
Zhang Wang nodded seriously: "He signed it all by himself."
"Hiss~" Lou Chunhua suddenly lost her composure: "You're not kidding me, are you? If he signed all three deals, then he'd be making a fortune in a month..."
"Six deals signed???!!!"
Lou Chunhua was utterly shocked when Zhang Wang nodded again!
Since she took charge of the Liangbei District, no other agent has ever achieved the feat of signing 6 deals in a single month.
Even during the peak of the market a couple of years ago, only the hottest areas in the city center could attract brokers to handle such orders.
In this industry, some people do get lucky and can sign two or three, or even four, deals a month.
Six deals are definitely not just a matter of good luck; they fully demonstrate an agent's all-around abilities!
Customer acquisition, property viewing, sales presentation, closing the deal, negotiation...
Every step of a house sale has to be top-notch, plus a lot of luck, to make it possible!
Although she had thought Chen Yuanzhou was a very talented newcomer before, it seems that she had underestimated him.
Lou Chunhua was just thinking when Chen Yuanzhou walked in carrying his bag…
"Xiao Chen~" Lou Chunhua immediately called out to him.
Chen Yuanzhou walked over, first blinking at Zhang Wang with a questioning look on his face.
Zhang Wang chuckled: "Alright, the boss knows. You signed all of Xiao Mo's orders."
"Huh?" Chen Yuanzhou was startled at first, a little worried that Lou Chunhua would scold him.
But looking at Zhang Wang's relaxed expression, one could tell that this matter shouldn't be a big problem. That made sense, since no matter which store the order was placed in, as long as it didn't leave Liangbei District, it wouldn't affect Lou Chunhua.
Not only that, he also helped improve the performance of a store. So, Lou Chunhua should not only not scold him, but should thank him instead?
Thinking of this, Chen Yuanzhou relaxed and smiled at Lou Chunhua, "Boss, you know all about it? Heh~"
"You..." Faced with such a fierce manager, Lou Chunhua couldn't maintain her composure and switched to a gentle, earnest tone: "This is a one-time thing, don't let it happen again!"
"Mhm!" Chen Yuanzhou nodded with a grin.
Lou Chunhua was at her wit's end. She checked the time and, seeing that it was almost time, packed her things and said to Zhang Wang, "Zhang, drive me to the New Century store."
"Okay!" Zhang Wang quickly grabbed the car keys and saw Lou Chunhua off.
After the two had walked away, Mo Dongyan approached Chen Yuanzhou with a worried expression: "Master, if the Lou District finds out, won't it be bad for you?"
"Hmm?" Chen Yuanzhou laughed, "It's alright. It's actually better that she knows. Not only will she not be angry, but she won't dare to make me angry either. That's good."
"Phew~" Mo Dongyan breathed a sigh of relief: "Then I'm relieved."
……
On the other end, Lou Chunhua got out of Zhang Wang's car and walked into the New Century store.
As soon as she entered the door, she couldn't help but frown...
Unlike the Qinchun Jiayuan store, which was completely empty, almost all the agents at the New Century store were sitting in the store, looking listless.
This means... no viewings mean no sales and no revenue.
Wu Jielei saw Lou Chunhua enter the room. He had just put on a smile and was about to greet her when he saw that she had a stern face, and it seemed as if a dark cloud of lightning and thunder was hanging over her head!
"..." Wu Jielei stopped in his tracks, feeling uneasy.
As expected, Lou Chunhua walked into the back hall, sat down opposite Wu Jielei, slammed her thermos on the table, and remained silent.
"Leader...?" Wu Jielei called out cautiously.
Lou Chunhua glanced at him sideways: "Today is the 30th, and you're still 20,000 yuan short of sales targets. What are you going to do?"
"You're the only one in the entire region whose performance is still below target!"
Wu Jielei asked in surprise, "Huh? Xiao Peng met the standard too?"
"Heh~" Lou Chunhua sneered, then sent the good news to the group.
Wu Jielei naturally received it as well. When he saw that it was Mo Dongyan who had signed the order again, his anger flared up instantly!
"Boss!" he complained, "This order from Xiao Peng... wasn't even signed by his own shop."
Wu Jielei's original intention was to expose the murky affair between Zhang Wang and Peng Yong, hoping to divert attention from Lou Chunhua's target by shifting the blame.
Little did he know that Zhang Wang had already revealed everything.
Lou Chunhua slammed her hand on the table and snapped, "Who cares if he signed a contract with your store or not! As long as he makes sales, that's all that matters!"
"If Xiao Peng can borrow performance data from Zhang Wang, why don't you try?"
"All you do is stare at others instead of reflecting on your own problems."
"I just came from Qinchun Garden. All the real estate agents there have gone out to look at properties. Chen Yuanzhou even signed a deal."
"And you?" She pointed outside. "A bunch of people are sitting in the store, dozing off. Are they here to work or to retire?"
Lou Chunhua's scolding showed Wu Jielei absolutely no mercy!
Even the agents outside turned their heads and looked over with surprise and uncertainty, making Wu Jielei's face turn pale and then purple, and he lost face completely!
But before Lou Chunhua could finish speaking, she angrily added, "You tell me yourself, set a goal for the last two days!"
"..." Wu Jielei suppressed his emotions, thought for a moment and replied, "The target is 15, as long as we sign one deal."
Lou Chunhua immediately pressed, "What if we can't finish it?"
"Damn it, here we go again!" Wu Jielei cursed inwardly, but could only reply aloud, "If I don't finish, I'll punish myself with 300 points!"
"500!" Lou Chunhua immediately increased the bet for him!
Although Wu Jielei was extremely unwilling, he had no choice but to agree.
In the daily operations of real estate agencies, fines are a sword of Damocles that always hangs over the heads of frontline sales staff!
Real estate agents who fail to meet weekly targets for property viewings, daily targets for communication, or targets for new clients will be fined. The amount ranges from 5 to 10 yuan per instance, and can often amount to hundreds of yuan per week.
For store managers, the target is the number of orders signed each week. They are required to report their own targets, and they are usually fined 100-300 yuan for each order they miss. This can amount to several hundred yuan in fines over a week.
Regional managers are also subject to the same requirements from the director, including performance, number of orders, market share, and other indicators. Moreover, regional managers are punished more severely; if their performance is poor, they may be fined thousands of yuan a week.
Therefore, Lou Chunhua used the fine amount to put pressure on Wu Jielei, with the aim of making Wu Jielei work hard to achieve the goal!
At this moment, Wu Jielei felt an intense hatred for Chen Yuanzhou!
If Chen Yuanzhou hadn't stolen Sun Qiang's client, they would have already met their sales targets...
Now, he wouldn't be subjected to such a severe scolding by Lou Chunhua.
Moreover, if Chen Yuanzhou hadn't given Peng Yong performance bonuses, he wouldn't have become Lou Chunhua's sole target.
Wu Jielei thought and thought, wanting to say something, but not knowing where to begin. In the end, he could only swallow his anger, his face turning red with rage!
……
Chen Yuanzhou sat in the store and browsed through the forum posts again.
After three days, especially after the news of the interest rate cut today, the post has already surpassed a terrifying million views!
The number of followers of "real estate agent Chen Yuanzhou" has reached over 10.
Faced with this situation, Chen Yuanzhou felt that the pre-launch hype had been quite effective, and the next step was to consider how to officially begin promoting the pre-sale apartments at Qinghu Renjia…
With this in mind, a meeting with Wu Shih-hao must be put on the agenda immediately.
So Chen Yuanzhou decided to meet him that night...
