Confessions of a Salesman

Chapter 629
We dragged on for a full month before we decided to make a deposit to buy it.

During this period, Li Baoling almost became a part of our family. I don't know what kind of magic she used to make my mother almost regard her as her daughter.She has my mother at home to support her, which allows her to come and go freely in our house.

I have said to my mother more than once: "An outsider, you can't be too enthusiastic, and come to our house all day long, you must have a sense of safety!"

But my mother said nonchalantly: "Xiao Li is a good person, enthusiastic, and likes to help us elderly people. The most important thing is that he has a topic with us, and he didn't ask us anything? He sold a house, we didn't buy it, and he didn't." Please, when you're with me, you're just chatting about family affairs, and you never mentioned asking you to buy a house! Don't think of everyone so badly!"

I patiently persuaded: "Mom, listen to me, this is what I do, can I not understand? Are you telling me where I work?"

My mother nodded.

I asked again: "Are you sure that your son is very capable and able to make money?"

My mother nodded again and added, "That's true, too!"

I continued to ask: "Did you say that Shengnan and I are going to buy a house to get married, and the wedding date has been set?"

My mother was very puzzled and said, "A hundred thousand why? Why do you have so many questions?"

I explained: "He knows all about your family background. I definitely want to buy a house, and I still have the ability to buy it. Can she not keep an eye on me? If I don't let go now, Katsuo can buy it or not." Yes, what should she do? I can only find you! I really think she treats you well and just wants to use you!"

My mother said dissatisfiedly: "What can she use me? You still listen to me? I tell you to buy it, you can buy it? It's not your decision. I understand what you mean. She wants to take advantage of me. I'm here to persuade you to buy a house, I'm not that stupid, I also want to use her to help you lower the house price!"

I stuck out my thumb and said, "Ginger is still old and spicy! Why did you tell me how much it will cost?"

My mother was silent for a while, and then said: "Isn't this just acquaintance? After a while, I will definitely be able to bargain for you, and she will still give this face!"

I really couldn't help it: "Mom, how much face can you have? You have only known you for a few days, and you can lower the price of the house? Why? Because she respects the old, loves the young, and is willing to help others." Spiritual? How is it possible! They are all used to this kind of routine, using your ignorance of the elderly, using your kindness, deceiving your feelings, gaining your favor, so that you can benefit from your children! Those who buy health care products Yes, everyone is like that, I don’t know how many old men and women have been fooled, they are more filial to you than to their own parents, I really think they are sincere, because you are their parents!”

My mother fell silent for a while, then lowered her head and said aggrievedly: "I just want to help!"

Shengnan couldn't bear to look at it from the sidelines, and blamed me: "Our mother's face is big, and now she is a member of the owner's committee of our community. How many owners in our community don't give our mother face? Besides, we Mom is so respectful in the world, everyone has to give us some thin noodles! You are heartless, isn't our mother alone worrying about the house and outside the house! You say that what you eat and use, which one is not ours? Mom is doing it for you. Buying a house is such a big deal. If you don’t let our mother decide, you can still make the decision! Mom, don’t listen to him, just do what you say.”

My mother smiled again on her cloudy face, and said: "Katsuo is still sensible, just listen to me, I will talk about it, if the price can be reduced, we will settle it. I think the house is really good. I Don't you and your father never live in a villa in this life, we are old, can't we still take some of your money!?"

My dad curled his lips and said, "You want to live here. I'm not so vain. I haven't bought this house yet. Everyone in the community knows that your son is going to buy a villa!"

My mother was a little embarrassed and said: "Isn't that because many people are powerful, so I asked someone to help me as a staff officer?"

After my mother's hard work, this Li Baoling really lowered the price for me a lot. I am surprised. It stands to reason that we have seen the house so many times, which means we have a soft spot for this house. Why? She will buy it, she has no reason to be restless, why should she lower the price for us at the last moment.

I didn't understand what was going on until we saw her arguing with her superior when we went to pay the deposit.

Li Baoling stood at the door of the financial office, and said to a middle-aged fat man wearing glasses: "I've been following this order for so long, and they're about to pay a deposit. You told me not to follow me. Isn't this a robbery?"

The fat man said very gently: "Bao Ling, this is the company's decision, and I can't help it. I told the above that you have been following this order, but the above said that this customer is quite special and we don't need to be responsible for it." , is directly responsible for the headquarters, you can see the final pricing, even our general manager does not have this authority, don't you understand?"

Li Baoling said very aggrieved: "No matter how special it is, I have been following it from the beginning to the end. If a customer comes and says it is a special customer, then do we still need to do it? I haven't done anything for half a month. After tracking this client, how can I complete this month's performance?"

A middle-aged woman who looked like a leader came over and scolded: "Why are you arguing? Don't you know the working hours? It's not good for customers to see it!"

Li Baoling didn't stop her complaints and said: "Manager Wang, this client, Fade Chen, I've been with him for half a month, why didn't he let me follow up all of a sudden, and the deposit will be paid right away, isn't this a clear robbery?"

Manager Wang said nonchalantly: "Do you really not understand, or are you just pretending to be confused? Is this the result of your hard work? After half a month of your follow-up, does anyone have any intention to buy? It's not the final price approved by the headquarters. , people said to pay the deposit. Besides, do you know who he is? He will buy the house through you, please read newspapers and magazines if you have nothing to do!"

Li Baoling didn't understand what it meant. Looking at his supervisor, the fat man let out a sigh and said, "This Fade Chen is a friend of Mr. Du. He wants to buy a house. For a phone call, there is no need to go through our sales office!"

Li Baoling was stunned for a moment and asked, "Which Mr. Du?"

Manager Wang said impatiently: "There are still a few Mr. Du, Du Shiyang! Let me tell you, even the people in the headquarters are respectful and respectful when they see this Fade Chen. Our small sales company, he How can you like it? You still go to trouble people all day long, and I haven’t settled accounts with you! Don’t talk about this matter anymore, it’s settled like this, and don’t feel wronged. If you don’t investigate clearly, you will do useless work!”

Speaking of this, Li Baoling could only swallow her anger and walk away.

As soon as I walked away, I bumped into Katsuo and me, then glared at both of us, and walked away angrily.

In fact, if it weren't for her attitude, I would have booked this suite through her. Although her sales methods are clumsy, she is better than hard work. It's a pity that she didn't work hard until the last moment. If she persisted, it would still be the same Treat us with enthusiasm, and I will give her this opportunity.

When going through the formalities, it was this manager Wang who received me personally. He was very attentive and didn't ask too many questions.

After I paid the money, I asked, "Who gave me the discount? Can you tell me?"

Manager Wang turned ugly and said: "Our company, this is a normal procedure. Such a big house will definitely be discounted, right? I think you must know this. You are a salesman yourself."

I groaned and said, "But the price you quoted before and after is too different. When you quoted it to me, it was twice the current price! It's a half discount. Either the price you quoted is too false, or It’s just that the discount is too strong!”

Manager Wang thought for a long time and said, "We are doing a promotion, and the price fluctuates a lot, so don't think about it!"

I smiled and said: "I can have any ideas, thank you before it's too late! If I can meet you Mr. Du, tell me something for me, I accept this great gift from her!"

Manager Wang hurriedly nodded and said, "Definitely, definitely bring it!"

Walking into the sales office, Katsuo pinched my arm and said, "You are so proud of yourself? The old lover is really generous!"

I hastily denied it: "What old lover! Isn't it just for your sake, aren't you best friends? Having said that, how long has it been since you contacted Shiyang? Your best friend is not qualified!"

Katsuo snorted and said, "Let's put it bluntly, we've been in touch often, but we didn't tell you!"

In the end, Yaoyang still didn't buy the house next to me, mainly because Sister Min didn't want to buy it, they hesitated for a while, and the house next to me was immediately bought by others.

It seems that it is not what I thought, this house is really in demand.

When we were preparing to renovate, the house next to us also started to renovate.

Unlike our decoration, a forklift came to the neighbor's house, and except for the load-bearing walls and roof, almost all the upper and lower parts were removed, leaving only empty shelves.

I chatted with the neighbor’s decorator, and I asked: “How are you going to decorate? Why are you demolishing everything? Doesn’t the layout inside have changed, so why buy a house here? It’s better to build it yourself.” !"

The decorator replied: "That's right, I don't understand why it needs to be decorated like this. If you tell me to dismantle it, I will dismantle it. I don't care. How do we know what the rich think?"

From the beginning of the demolition to the decoration, I have never seen it once. The owner of the neighbor's house, I am surprised that I have never come to see the decoration of my own home.

The decoration speed of their home is really fast. Every time I go there, it is a big change. I don’t know how much manpower and material resources are used. There are many people coming in and out. They compare and draw all day long, like a big project. .

The decoration of my house is much simpler. Zhou Afa helped me handle the whole process. Ah Fen is now the owner of the largest decoration and construction company in the city. He also has wood, marble, door and window processing factories. He also signed an agency contract with Wanzhong, a one-stop solution Serve.

Today's Ah Fa is no longer the idiot boy who came to ask me for help. If nothing else, just talking about this style will scare everyone to death.

Today, Boss Afa can still let him design and construct houses in person. There are countless well-known designers and two foreigners. Although I don’t know whether these two foreigners are parallel imports, but theirs The name is extremely resounding.Famous Italian interior decoration designer, top European interior decoration designer.

Ah Fa brought his design team, and before I even made a request, Ah Fa began to point fingers, and everyone in the room became busy.

I pulled Afa aside and said, "Did you call all the designers from the whole company? I'm only 170 square meters. Do I need to use so many people? Why is your company's business so difficult now? Business So mediocre? The whole company expects me to be alive as a client?"

Ah Fa smiled and said: "My advertisements are everywhere in the city. Do you think my business is good? I can't handle it at all. I usually do small house renovations for the subsidiaries below. It's not a million-dollar renovation. I didn't even handle it!"

I was startled and said: "Millions? You can't earn my money like this? Kill me? I can't afford that money! Otherwise, you should ask someone to withdraw it first, and I will Just give you some transportation expenses, I really can’t afford to decorate! How much is this house!”

Ah Fa was not angry, but still said with a smile: "You are rich, I don't know yet? Don't worry, I won't charge any other expenses except for material and labor costs! Who asked me to owe you? Besides, you are my big boss now, I dare not take your money!"

I smiled and said, "That's right, you are also my agent now! Let's agree, just use ordinary materials, the most important thing is to be durable, don't import everything from famous brands, that thing is not practical!"

Ah Fa smiled and said: "Put your heart in your belly, you don't have to worry about anything! I asked my sister-in-law, the style she wants is all in my mind, isn't it the simple European style? I know it! "

I nodded and said, "On this point, the two of us still hold the same point of view!"

Ah Fa looked around the house and said: "This house is still a bit small, why not buy a bigger one? I feel that the decoration is not satisfying!"

I said displeasedly: "I asked you to come here to have fun? You pretend to be good for me! If you don't pretend well, I will go around saying that your Afa decoration is not worthy of the name!"

Ah Fa ignored me, and said to himself: "Why save so much money? Don't build a bigger house!"

I glared at him and said, "It's not small, we just live together, how big is your house? I haven't been to your house yet? How are you and yours doing now? She's a radio station now. First sister! Why can I listen to her show at any time?"

Ah Fa heaved a sigh and said, "Qin Ge is good at everything, but he is too career-minded, and always uses my money to subsidize it. Once the sponsorship is gone, he will reach out and ask me for money, which is too expensive!"
