Chapter 73: An Unexpected Encounter

Not long after, Wu Shihao's phone rang. He didn't even need to look to know that Chen Yuanzhou had transferred the money to his account and asked him to help with the subscription.

But Wu Shihao still felt somewhat depressed!

Although the matter had been explained to Chen Yuanzhou and the risks had been disclosed, continuing to subscribe was tantamount to courting disaster, and had nothing to do with Wu Shihao.

However, Wu Shih-hao not only regarded Chen Yuan-zhou as a business partner, but also as a friend.

He simply couldn't bear to watch Chen Yuanzhou jump into the fire and do nothing...

After thinking it over for a long time, he made a phone call to Ge Jiaqi.

"Go to the sales control department and coordinate with them to help Chen Yuanzhou reserve another detached house," Wu Shihao said.

Ge Jiaqi was taken aback: "Didn't you already call him and explain things clearly? He still wants to..."

"Heh~ Fine then, you brought this on yourself, you can't escape it."

She chuckled and was about to leave when Wu Shihao said, "In the agreement we signed before, we should also include the two additional units that were subscribed later."

Ge Jiaqi turned around abruptly: "You...are you planning to continue with the previous agreement? The chairman just reprimanded you!"

"Just do as I say!" Wu Shih-hao said seriously in an unquestionable tone.

"You really won't turn back until you hit a brick wall!" Ge Jiaqi reluctantly accepted the order and left.

As Wu Shih-hao's deputy, she considered herself the person who understood Wu Shih-hao best.

Wu Shih-hao's current actions are tantamount to openly defying the chairman's orders.

Outsiders only know that he is the chairman's nephew, the chairman's right-hand man, and has made great contributions within the group.

But Ge Jiaqi knew even better that Chairman Wu Jianye was not some visionary entrepreneur with a keen eye for the future; at heart, he was just a businessman with deeply ingrained traditional thinking, whose only thought was to pass on his family business to his son.

His son, Wu Yao, has now started his internship, and it is foreseeable that he will gradually take over the core power in a step-by-step manner before long.

Once Wu Shihao has used it up to the point of exhaustion, he will inevitably be replaced by his own cousin.

When even his own position is precarious, his disregard for Wu Jianye's orders will inevitably accelerate the process of his replacement...

Ge Jiaqi felt that Wu Shihao was gambling with his future, and his only goal was that ridiculous collaboration.

She simply can't understand it!

Seeing her leave in anger, Wu Shihao shook his head. How could he not know his own predicament?

But he did it anyway, simply because he felt it was the right thing to do, nothing more.

……

November 2nd, the fifth day of the tenth lunar month.

Auspicious signs are present, making it a good time to start a business, buy a house, or conduct transactions!

Early in the morning, drums and gongs resounded outside the Qinghu Renjia sales office, and the grand opening was marked by ten thousand firecrackers!

Thanks to the news of the interest rate cut a couple of days ago, the long-empty parking lot was full again, and many vehicles that couldn't find a parking spot had to park along the wall for a long distance.

The sales office was bustling with people, and the sales consultants were kept busy by all sorts of customers, but they all felt somewhat helpless.

As insiders, they knew that more than half of the seemingly bustling scene was created by paid scalpers posing as customers to create an atmosphere, while real customers only accounted for about 30-40%.

While many customers were crowding in front of the model, listening to the specialist introduce the relevant information about the property, a short, kind-looking man in the crowd said to another man next to him, "Old Zhang, look, those three detached houses are in the best locations! If you really want to buy, villa number 88 is the first choice, and numbers 66 and 99 are also fine."

The man beside him said with regret, "Don't even mention it! I just asked, and besides these three buildings, numbers 86 and 68 next door have also been booked by the same person! Ugh, now I'm so conflicted, I don't know which building to choose!"

"They're all booked? And by the same person?" the kind-looking man exclaimed dramatically. "Why don't we ask the sales staff who it is? Why don't we ask them if they bought the pre-sale apartments?"

"I've already asked, and their pre-sale apartments are selling for 10..."

"What???"

The two of them did not deliberately lower their voices, and everyone around them could hear them clearly.

After they finished speaking, someone immediately leaned over curiously and asked, "Really? In this market, people are still selling pre-sale apartments? Do they even think they'll sell them?"

"Well, I think it's strange too..."

"Since they dare to sell, they must be certain that the property price will rise?"

"You must be joking!"

"That's not necessarily true. Didn't they cut interest rates a couple of days ago? What if they actually go up again after a while? I need to go and find out more."

Chen Yuanzhou mingled in the crowd, listening to the two men's performance, and secretly gave them a thumbs up.

The two glanced at each other and smiled knowingly.

They were Zhang Wang and Li Jing, whom Chen Yuanzhou had invited to help. After all, when it comes to being a shill, professionals are definitely more experienced.

After this group of clients was taken to view the property in person, another group of clients arrived, and the two of them repeated their old tricks, putting on a show once again…

Seeing that he didn't need to worry about the two of them at all, Chen Yuanzhou happily withdrew from the crowd, walked out the door, and handed a cigarette to a middle-aged man.

"How is it?" Chen Yuanzhou asked with a smile.

This man was a scalper arranged by Wu Shihao, named Lao Huang, who was responsible for selling pre-sale apartments to customers.

"Hey~ Mr. Wu already gave all the instructions, so you can rest assured!" Old Huang grinned, showing off his big yellow teeth.

"10! Don't get it wrong!"

"Just you wait and see, haha~"

Chen Yuanzhou nodded, then walked through the door again, quietly went upstairs, and arrived at Wu Shihao's office.

Seeing Chen Yuanzhou's smiling face, Wu Shihao couldn't smile at all.

"Are you really that optimistic?" Wu Shihao asked, his brow furrowed. "Can your pre-sale apartments really be sold within seven days?"

Chen Yuanzhou nodded: "Don't worry! When I told you it would take 30 days, that was just a conservative estimate. In reality, it won't even take 7 days; I estimate 3 days will be enough."

Ge Jiaqi was standing next to Wu Shihao, originally flipping through the property sales control sheet. Hearing Chen Yuanzhou's confident assertion, she couldn't help but remind him, "Manager Chen, you'd better keep your word. President Wu is taking the risk for you."

"Huh?" Chen Yuanzhou asked, somewhat puzzled. "What do you mean? Shouldn't we just follow the rules of your sales office?"

"That's because you don't know..."

"Jiaqi, shut up."

"But Mr. Wu..."

Seeing this, Chen Yuanzhou frowned and asked, "What exactly happened?"

"It's nothing, don't worry about it," Wu Shihao replied with a smile.

But Ge Jiaqi was so angry that she blurted out, "President Wu didn't listen to the chairman's suggestion to tear up the agreement. He's prepared to pay the penalty himself if you really can't sell the pre-sale apartments and breach the contract!"

"?"

Upon hearing this, Chen Yuanzhou immediately understood!

"Mr. Wu, why are you doing this?" he said earnestly, "Since it's a collaboration, how can I let you bear the risks alone!"

Wu Shihao shook his head: "It's nothing, just a small problem. I believe you can definitely keep your promise."

Upon hearing this, Chen Yuanzhou gave him a deep look and smiled sincerely.

Indeed, cooperating with Wu Shihao was a very wise decision!

Only partners like these can fight side-by-side without reservation...

After this collaboration, once Wu Shihao is ousted from Zhong'an Group, I can naturally bring him to my side and make him a true comrade-in-arms!

Ge Jiaqi said unhappily, "Manager Chen, now you understand, right? I hope you know what's good for you!"

"Hehe~" Chen Yuanzhou chuckled, "Vice President Ge seems very skeptical that I can do it?"

Ge Jiaqi, her face cold, pointed to the form in her hand and said, "It's been over an hour since the sales opened, and we've only sold less than 20 units so far, not a single townhouse or villa. What do you think?"

"Don't rush!" Chen Yuanzhou said, "The gun has already been fired, let the bullets fly a little longer..."

After Chen Yuanzhou finished speaking, he got up and went downstairs.

Just then, Zhang Wang and Li Jing went out for a break and were smoking when Chen Yuanzhou approached. Zhang Wang offered him a cigarette and said, "Little Chen, we're helping out, but do you really think these pre-sale apartments will sell?"

Li Jing also said, "I just checked, and it's basically all scalpers. I didn't see anyone looking at villas; they were all looking at regular apartments."

"Trust me!" Chen Yuanzhou nodded.

Zhang Wang and Li Jing exchanged a glance. Although they both disagreed, Chen Yuanzhou's judgment had never been wrong, so they had no choice but to remain silent.

"Oh, right, there's one more thing I need your help with," Chen Yuanzhou continued, "Once we're done here, go to the nearby real estate agency and ask them to help you find clients to buy pre-sale apartments. A bonus of 10,000 yuan will be given for each successful sale!"

Upon hearing this, Zhang Wang and Li Jing immediately understood.

Real estate agents, motivated by a 10,000 yuan bonus, will naturally promote the property to their clients, and the results may even be better than those from the sales office.

Just as Chen Yuanzhou lit a cigarette, he heard someone call his name from behind...

"Chen Yuanzhou?"

"Huh?"

He turned around and saw someone he never expected.

"Mr. Xue?" he asked, somewhat surprised. "What brings you here?"

The person who called him was Xue Qingxiang, the client who competed with Liu Beige for Zhou Yun's townhouse, and also one of the organizers of the real estate speculation group in Shanghai.

He was accompanied by a middle-aged man with a square face, who looked to be in his forties, with a tall and imposing figure and an extraordinary demeanor.

Xue Qingxiang leaned closer, raised an eyebrow, and smiled, "It really is you? I thought I was seeing things. What? Does your real estate agency also sell new properties?"

"No," Chen Yuanzhou replied, "I'm here to help a client sell pre-sale apartments."

"Oh?" Xue Qingxiang was taken aback, then thought for a moment and tentatively asked, "I just heard people saying that someone is selling a detached villa off-plan for 10? Is that you?"

Chen Yuanzhou nodded and looked at the middleman, asking, "And who is this...?"

"Let me introduce you, this is General Manager Lin!" Xue Qingxiang said vaguely, but it made Chen Yuanzhou even more concerned.

With his discerning eye, he couldn't be wrong about the air of a wealthy person!

This Mr. Lin might very well be one of Xue Qingxiang's real estate speculation group's clients, and quite possibly a heavyweight one at that.

After all, during their last meeting, Xue Qingxiang said that they believed the market had bottomed out and it was time to make a move.

So their purpose in appearing here now is self-evident...
