The receptionist was idly scrolling through Kuaiyin at the front desk when she saw Yang Hao and Jiang Yuqi walk into the sales office; she asked casually, âAre you here to view an apartment?â
âYeah, we need a salesperson,â Yang Hao nodded slightly.
âManager Zhang, someone is here to view an apartment.â
The receptionist immediately relayed the message through the intercom,
as the sales department was in the middle of a meeting.
Upon hearing the call from the front desk, Sales Manager Zhang Hang glanced over the several salespeople sitting in the meeting room, âWho will go and receive them?â
However, the sales staff just looked at each other, and no one moved.
The workday was almost over, and at this time, itâs unlikely that anyone coming to view an apartment would actually buy one; theyâre probably just inquiring about the price.
If the visitors wanted to see the show apartment and even go to the park, it would take so long that they would miss the end of the workday, so naturally, no one wanted to go.
âManager Zhang, Iâll go.â
A new employee, who was still on probation, stood up.
Her name was Yang Ling.
She was a recent graduate from a college, and quite a looker too.
She knew this client probably had no real intention to buy, but as a newcomer, she saw this as an opportunity for practice.
âGo ahead.â
Zhang Hang waved his hand gently.
The new girl, Yang Ling, immediately left the meeting room.
The veteran salespeople at the meeting showed various reactionsâsome sneered, some shook their heads, and some thought to themselves: Itâs the eagerness of youth!
In front of the sand table.
Yang Hao was focusing on the layout of the park.
After all, this would be the place for his âgolden house to hide beauty,â so it was good to get the lay of the land.
âHello, you two.â
âI am a salesperson from Linjiang Garden, just call me Yang.â
âHereâs my business card.â
Yang Ling greeted them with a smile and handed over her business card.
âYour surname is Yang too.â
âAre we related!â
Yang Hao took the business card, glanced at it, and nodded with a smile.
âReally?â
âWhat a coincidence!â
Yang Ling smiled, âBrother Yang, are you looking for a wedding home?â
Among the customers who come to view apartments, couples or spouses make up a high proportion. Yang Ling had already silently observed Yang Hao and Jiang Yuqi when she was approaching.
In her opinion, they didnât look like a married couple; hence, they were likely a couple.
âNot really.â
Yang Hao denied with a shake of his head, then asked, âWhat is the largest apartment size you have in this complex?â
â208 square meters.â
âBuildings 15 and 16 both have this layout.â
âThese two buildings also enjoy the most prestigious locations in the park, with a one-elevator-per-apartment designâ¦â
Yang Ling pointed at the model on the sand table with her laser pen.
The two buildings she indicated were centrally located in the park, unobstructed in front, and enjoyed a better view.
âHow much for one?â
Yang Hao asked again.
âDifferent floors have different total prices. The current average price is about thirty-three thousand per square meter; the mid-to-high floor areas are around thirty-four thousand, and the low-floor areas are about thirty-two thousandâ¦â
Yang Ling was proficiently presenting the details of the apartments.
But before she could finish, Yang Hao asked, âHow many units are still for sale now?â
âUh?â@@novelbin@@
Yang Ling paused, a puzzled look on her face as she glanced at Yang Hao, âBrother Yang, are you asking which good floors havenât been sold yet?â
âNot at all!â
Yang Hao shook his head, âAs far as I know, this property has been on the market for over a year, so I just wanted to know how many units of the 208-square-meter layout are still for sale.â
âIt seems like there are still about a dozen or so leftâ¦â
Yang Ling couldnât be certain either, as hardly any customer would ask such a question.
âIf Yang wants to know which floors are still available, I can go check right now!â The new kid still had a good attitude.
âNo need, Iâll take all the remaining units!â
Yang Hao gestured with his hands, planning to make one big purchase to cut through the hassle swiftly.
He had already checked the model earlier, and indeed, there were no obstructions in front of Buildings 15 and 16, the lower floors wouldnât have any lighting issues, and at most, the view wouldnât be as good as the higher floors.
âWhat?â
âYang, what did you say??â
Yang Ling, the new kid, was completely dumbfounded. The real estate industry was experiencing an unprecedented downturn, and houses were truly hard to sell.
Especially for high-end projects like Linjiang Garden, which were even harder to sell â otherwise the units wouldnât still be on the market as available properties.
But here was this guy, saying he wanted to buy all the remaining units. She thought she must have heard wrong, or perhaps she was having auditory hallucinations.
Yeah, she must have been under too much stress lately.
She was starting to daydream in broad daylight!
Yang Ling silently rebuked herself internally. As a property salesperson, she indeed faced a lot of pressure because she earned a miserable basic salary and relied on commissions from property sales.
And now, she had encountered the real estate downturn, which made the new kid like herself even consider changing her line of work.
In fact, it wasnât just Yang Ling who was shocked by this; even Jiang Yuqi was startled by Yang Haoâs words.
On their way there, Yang Hao had mentioned buying a house, but Jiang Yuqi could never have dreamed that buying houses could be akin to shopping at Patek Philippe.
But the problem was, these were houses!
Not watches!
And moreover, these houses were priced far above the average in Jiangcheng, at thirty-three thousand per square meter.
By this estimate, a 208-square-meter unit would cost over six million!
Yet here was her boss, casually stating he wanted to buy a dozen or so of these multi-million property units!
Why in the world would he buy so many houses all at once??
Even if he wanted to hide a concubine in a golden house, he wouldnât need that many units, right?!
Couldnât figure it out!
What on earth was going through the minds of these rich people??
âGo check how many units are left unsold!â
âIâm taking all of them~â
Yang Hao looked again at his dumbfounded cousin and clarified his intention once more.
âUh, okay!â
âYang, please wait a moment, Iâll go right now!â
Although she still found it hard to believe, she would follow the customerâs request and do as he asked.
So, the new kid hurried back to the meeting room: âManager, how many of the 208-square-meter size units are left unsold?â
âThe 208-square-meter ones?â
Zhang Hang thought for a moment and replied, âThereâs a total of twelve left, and you can primarily push the ones on the 19th and 23rd floors!â
Listening to the two of them, the seasoned sales staff were quite surprised; nobody had thought that Yang Ling would land a customer for a 208-square-meter unit. Even if the prospect was just looking, it indicated they were a client with substantial financial resources.
The newbie was lucky!
Some of the veterans felt a pang of envy.
However, at that moment, they heard Yang Ling speak up again: âManager, he doesnât want to buy just one unit, he wants to buy all of the 208-square-meter units!â
âWhat?â
âBuy them all?â
âAre you kidding me!!â
Everyone in the meeting room was visibly shocked, each face marked with a big question mark.
Buying over a dozen houses in one go?
What kind of tycoon move was this??
