Chapter 507 - 506: Sales Office Manager
And Chen Tianlong chuckled bitterly to himself, thinking that Wu Mengting was really naive. Such an enticing sound, yet she didn’t even know what it was. She would probably only understand once she made that sound herself one day.
"Hello, is this the real estate manager? We’re looking to buy a property, could you open the door so we can talk?" Chen Tianlong shouted at the door.
"Ah? Yes, yes... sure, give me a moment."
Indeed, there were a man and a woman inside. The man was the real estate sales manager, and the woman was a sales associate. Nobody was quite sure what their relationship was.
But looking at the woman, she was pretty attractive, had a great figure, and her face was rather pretty. It seemed like an unwritten rule might be at play here.
Five minutes later, the door opened, and there was a beautiful woman sitting on the sofa, seriously reviewing property documents. She suddenly asked, "Manager, these apartments are quite in demand, should we adjust the price a bit?"
"Let’s observe first; the real estate market isn’t doing too well right now, we can’t just raise prices randomly." Said a man in his late twenties as he sipped his coffee.
When Chen Tianlong and Wu Mengting entered, the manager was initially surprised, then scanned them with his eyes. When his gaze settled on Wu Mengting, his eyes lit up with golden light.
From his vast experience with women, he could tell this one was a top-tier beauty. That figure, that face, was like a goddess descended to earth.
Compared to the woman he had just been cozying up with, this one was so much younger and prettier, which made his heart race with excitement.
"Beautiful lady, come in and have a seat, I’ll get you some water!" The sales manager completely ignored Chen Tianlong, walked up to Wu Mengting, and reached out to grab her hand to lead her to the sofa.
But as he reached out, Chen Tianlong blocked him.
"Manager, we’re here to buy a property, not for hospitality. We can stand and talk because we just had some water," said Chen Tianlong, intercepting the manager’s motion, understanding what Wu Mengting wanted.
Wu Mengting breathed a sigh of relief, grateful she came with Chen Tianlong. If she had come with another woman, they might have taken undue advantage.
"Haha, I see. That’s fine. Xiaohong, please step out, I need to discuss with the guests." The sales manager seized the opportunity to let the woman leave.
"Alright, manager. Call me if you need anything; I’ll be outside." said the woman named Xiaohong with a flirtatious smile, swaying her hips as she walked out.
Have to say, the woman’s figure was indeed impressive, no wonder the manager got hooked.
The sales manager nodded, then came to his senses and said to Chen Tianlong and Wu Mengting, "No water, no problem, but let’s sit and have a good chat. By the way, I’m Liu Huan, sales manager at Pang Cheng Real Estate, here’s my business card."
With that, Liu Huan handed over his business card. Chen Tianlong casually took it, gave it a fake glance, and then pocketed it.
"Alright, let’s sit down first." Chen Tianlong and Wu Mengting sat across from the sales manager and got straight to the point: "Manager, here’s the thing. There’s a twenty-floor commercial building in the southeast of Linda Plaza. What’s the current situation with that? Is it available for sale?"
"What?"
Liu Huan had just glanced at the two of them and thought they might be students wanting a small place on the first floor for a small business.
He hadn’t expected them to ask for the entire building with one question.
You know, the property prices here in South Sea City are sky-high. Seven or eight million per square meter. Can this kid really afford it?
"Haha, sir, did I hear you right? This building has twenty floors, each floor covering a site of 1,500 square meters. Calculate that yourself; it’s an astronomical number." Liu Huan was sure Chen Tianlong was joking. Even average magnates couldn’t afford it; a super-wealthy person was needed.
"Oh, about 2 billion in total; I’ve already calculated it. Is there any problem?" Chen Tianlong calmly stated the estimated price.
Holy crap!
Is today April Fools’ Day, or is this guy insane? 2 billion, you think it’s just 20 bucks or something, saying it so casually.
"Phew..."
Liu Huan took a deep breath, unsure if this kid was bluffing or really ready to buy. Either way, he felt excited and his cheeks warmed up.
If it’s real, then he’d make a killing, with personal profits of millions alone.
"Sir, don’t joke around. Just tell me if you want a small grid on the first floor to set up a little shop. It’s five thousand a month, non-negotiable rent," Liu Huan directly said.
"Excuse me, do you have hearing issues? Or are you guys not selling the building?" Chen Tianlong was speechless. What was happening with people these days? Wanting to buy something only to be treated like a joke.
Damn, do I really look like a joke?
"You... you’re serious?" Liu Huan’s heart almost jumped out of his chest. Excited, extremely excited. Was it the rhythm of getting rich?
"Are you selling or not? Get to the point. If not, I’ll look elsewhere," Chen Tianlong didn’t want to waste time with this person, ready to leave with Wu Mengting.
"Wait..."
Liu Huan finally snapped out of his surprise, nearly missing a chance to make money. If the boss knew, he’d get a spanking.
"Sir, please, have a seat. Let me explain the specifics of that building," Liu Huan invited Chen Tianlong back, displaying a much more respectful attitude.
Chen Tianlong thought for a moment and sat back down.
"May I know your name, sir? We’re Pang Cheng Real Estate, offering reasonable prices with guaranteed quality. In this area, our company’s properties are well-loved by the public, you can ask around."
"I’ve checked it out already; otherwise, I wouldn’t have come to you,"
Chen Tianlong chuckled bitterly and then said, "As for your ’reasonable’ pricing, that’s just a sales pitch. I already know the real estate situation. This place is a great advertising spot, but it’s ridiculously expensive. Seven million per square meter, placing it in the top three in South Sea City."
Chen Tianlong was telling the truth. This isn’t some first-tier city. In Capital City, seven million is not that expensive, but this is South Sea City, a small town not even considered a big city.
"Well... I didn’t expect you’re an insider too."
Liu Huan appeared experienced but was ultimately from the younger generation, so he took the direct approach: "This pricing is set by the boss. If I could control it, I’d give you a few thousand off and still make a bunch. But I’m not the boss."
"How about this? I’ll give you the boss’s number, and you can speak with him directly. Just mention I sent you." Liu Huan added the last line, as it was crucial; otherwise, he’d lose his bonus.
"Alright, then give me the contact, and I’ll reach out." Chen Tianlong nodded, and while Liu Huan seemed a bit lecherous, he appeared to be a decent person. So Chen Tianlong remembered his advice, planning to mention it to the boss so Liu Huan could keep his bonus.
