Chapter 54: Warm-up
Chapter 54: Warm-up
When Zhang Caijuan left, her gaze towards her daughter was full of sorrow and regret, her eyes brimming with tears, making her appear very pitiful.
Fang Zhaodi was a little overwhelmed. She originally wanted to accompany her mother to see her off, but Chen Yuanzhou stopped her by saying that he had some things to tell her. In the end, he only saw his mother into a taxi and then stuffed a few hundred yuan into her pocket.
Only after the taxi disappeared from sight did she turn back and ask, "Manager Chen, is there something you forgot?"
Chen Yuanzhou shook his head: "No, I was just worried that if you went with me, you might change your mind halfway through, which would be troublesome for me."
Fang Zhaodi: "..."
"This is the first time my mom has ever traveled this far."
"Yeah, they chased you this far just to extract value from you."
"Actually, she didn't bother me during the years I was in college."
"On the other hand, we don't have to cover your tuition and living expenses either..."
Chen Yuanzhou sighed, "Ms. Fang, your mother must know you very well. She knows you are actually a very soft-hearted person, which is why she traveled all this way to come here."
"I'm afraid I won't be able to go back to my hometown in the future," Fang Zhaodi said sadly. "I'm so sorry for bringing shame to my hometown."
"What does this have to do with region?" Chen Yuanzhou shook his head. "Sexism exists everywhere. Weren't your female classmates all very happy when you were young?"
Upon hearing this, Fang Zhaodi was stunned for a while before she smiled wryly, greeted Chen Yuanzhou, hailed a taxi, and left.
Chen Yuanzhou knew that this was all he could say. After all, it was someone else's family matter, and as long as his own deal wasn't affected, he shouldn't meddle in other people's business.
He turned back into the store and saw everyone looking at him with strange expressions…
"That's not fair!" Xu Chuanchuan muttered.
Chen Yuanzhou: ? ? ?
"Brother Chuan, what's wrong?"
Xu Chuanchuan said indignantly, "Old Zhang already told me about your bet with Peng Yong. Honestly, you should have given the order to Yijingyuan store instead of me. You're already getting the maximum commission anyway, giving it to me would have given me a raise..."
"Chuan Chuan, stop talking!" Li Jing stopped him. "What does this have to do with Yi Jing Yuan store? Isn't it all for my grand-apprentice's sake?"
"Oh~~~~~~~" Xu Chuanchuan deliberately dragged out the last syllable, then suddenly changed his expression, teasing Mo Dongyan, "Little Mo, so all that Xiao Chen did was for you?"
Chen Yuanzhou then realized that Xu Chuanchuan had misunderstood something and was deliberately acting as his wingman to help him.
Looking at Mo Dongyan again, she covered her face with both hands, her face turning red from behind her ears to her neck. She didn't dare to speak and simply huddled behind the computer screen like an ostrich.
Helpless, Chen Yuanzhou stepped forward and said to her, "Don't be so shy. You have to be thick-skinned to do this job. He's joking with you, so just talk back!"
Mo Dongyan blinked, thought for a moment, then leaned out and loudly proclaimed to Xu Chuanchuan, "It's only natural for a master to take care of his disciple!"
After saying that, he shrank back.
What's going on?
Chen Yuanzhou shook his head, urged Mo Dongyan to continue making calls, and then took a taxi to the driving school to register. Afterwards, he dialed Wu Shihao's number.
Wu Shihao was somewhat surprised by his call, but he was still very enthusiastic: "Xiao Chen, is there anything I can do for you?"
"Mr. Wu, you flatter me. I am not worthy of your service. I just wanted to invite you to lunch."
"Noon?" Wu Shihao asked, somewhat surprised.
"Yeah, you're busy, and so am I. Besides, I reckon you'll most likely have a dinner engagement tonight, so you should be more free at lunchtime, right?"
"Haha~" Wu Shihao couldn't help but burst out laughing: "Are you always this blunt? But you're right, I am indeed quite busy. Just say what you need me to do. Since we're cooperating, let's skip all those formal social niceties."
Chen Yuanzhou was somewhat surprised by his reaction. In his mind, these traditional real estate executives were probably still the same old-fashioned way of doing things: drink until they were drunk and be easy to talk to.
But then he thought about it again, and realized that Wu Shihao was young and it was normal for him to be unconventional, so he asked directly, "You should have contacted the forum upstairs, right?"
"Uh~" Wu Shihao paused for a moment: "Actually, I haven't had time yet, but if you need it, I'll take care of it today."
"Okay, I'll write a post tonight. I hope you can help me get it featured on the homepage for at least three days. I'll send you the details via text message later."
"no problem."
The call ended quickly; both were intelligent people, making communication simple and efficient.
Wu Shih-hao didn't even ask Chen Yuan-zhou what he wanted to write...
It wasn't that he truly trusted Chen Yuanzhou, but rather that he believed in human nature.
Since Chen Yuanzhou intends to hype up the pre-sale apartments in Qinghu Renjia and reap huge profits from them, he will inevitably move towards this goal.
Although Wu Shihao is young, he is very clear that in today's society, profit is the primary driving force!
Chen Yuanzhou was the same way; all he was doing now was aiming to sell off properties at sky-high prices. Wu Shihao understood this and naturally gave him the green light.
So he rushed back to the store, sat down at the computer, opened Word, and started typing away...
"What are you writing?" Zhang Wang asked curiously, peeking out.
On Chen Yuanzhou's screen was the headline: "Are homebuyers ready for skyrocketing housing prices?"
This title gave Zhang Wang the creeps!
"Aren't you afraid of getting bombarded with criticism for writing this kind of post?" he frowned. "How can prices skyrocket in this lousy market?"
Hearing his words, the others also gathered around, standing behind Chen Yuanzhou to take a look...
The benchmark interest rate has been lowered twice since the second half of 2008.
It is foreseeable that policy will shift from "curbing overheating" to "fully rescuing the market."
[A bold prediction: there will be more than one reduction in the benchmark interest rate this year, accompanied by measures such as lowering down payment ratios and relaxing interest rate discounts.]
【…】
"Xiao Chen, are you running a fever?"
Li Jing grinned, showing his large teeth, and said, "If I post this, I'll probably get cursed to death!"
"You think it's impossible too, right?" Wu Ningfeng looked at Li Jing: "If it's really like what Xiao Chen wrote in his post, then the market would probably be even more outrageous than it was two years ago!"
"Isn't that unrealistic?" Xu Chuanchuan stroked his chin. "I was drinking with some big business owners from my hometown the other day. They have such large businesses, and they all said that the real estate market is going to collapse."
"If the market is really that good, I'll stop renting and start selling houses!" Zhang Jun declared confidently.
Faced with everyone's comments, Chen Yuanzhou did not try to explain, but instead explained it from another angle.
"These kinds of titles and content are much more eye-catching! They get way more views than just mindlessly listing properties, right?"
"Furthermore, if a client contacts me after reading a post like this, wouldn't they definitely be much more sincere than a regular client?"
"Haven't you been asking me where all those clients came from?"
As Chen Yuanzhou spoke, he opened his previous post about dating and showed everyone the numerous private messages he had sent…
"Um?"
"Holy shit!"
"You're not allowed to post it! Let me post it!"
"Why didn't you say so sooner if you had such a good opportunity!"
Soon, a group of people all started imitating the "shocking" style and writing promotional articles for the properties...
Chen Yuanzhou chuckled, not worried that his colleagues' advertorials would steal his traffic.
Online forums also need to make money, right?
Wu Shih-hao's promises, as an investor, are the source of Chen Yuanzhou's confidence.
Moreover, this post was just a teaser for him...
