The Immortal Warrior: From Reverse Engineering to Forging Swords for the Country

Chapter 94 Psychological Warfare

Zhang Chiling nodded in agreement and said, "Yes! More than 400 square meters is really too expensive."

"I think I'll buy it here!"

Tian Hongtao puffed up his chest, shook his head and said with a wealthy attitude: "Don't worry if it's expensive, you must live comfortably. Zhiling, I have money, don't be afraid of spending money."

"Zhipeng is right, it's better to have a more spacious home. Let's go look elsewhere."

Zhang Chiling rolled her eyes at Tian Hongtao and said, "If you have two dollars, you are no longer yours, right?"

"This house is much better than living in a dormitory."

"Is it worth spending so much money on the same house?"

"Wouldn't it be better to put the money you save in the bank and earn interest?"

The current bank interest rates are indeed quite high, with deposit interest rates reaching up to 900%. If you deposit RMB in the bank for five years, the annual interest will be RMB , which is quite considerable.

Tian Hongtao scratched his head and said with a smile: "Zhiling, I hope to give you the best living conditions. If you have children in the future, if you have a living room, you can run around outside, right?"

"As for money, I can make quite a lot of money now. Zhipeng said that our company's situation will only get better and better in the future. That little interest is really nothing."

Zhang Chiling said: "That's not certain! I have seen too many factories. Some factories were prosperous in the first two years, but suddenly they failed."

"If you don't worry about the future, you will have to worry about the immediate future! When you make a lot of money, you should save more."

Zhang Zhipeng smiled and said: "Sister, our company is a high-tech company, and it can only get better and better in the future!"

"Listen to me. When buying a house, you must buy the best one! The purpose of making money is not to save, but to consume and make yourself comfortable!"

When Zhang Zhipeng said this, Zhang Chiling couldn't say anything else.

Zhang Chiling felt that her younger brother was really becoming more and more strange.

A person who used to be naughty and mischievous suddenly became a genius. He has achieved so many achievements and now he has become a big shot.

When she looked at her brother now, she almost had to look up to see him.

"Okay then, let's go check out other commercial housing complexes."

Several people immediately left Xihoudi and went to other places to view houses.

On the road, Tian Hongtao and Zhang Zhipeng were walking side by side. He whispered: "Zhipeng, you still have weight in what you say."

"Your sister is quite stubborn. I can't persuade her to come back if she's determined."

Zhang Zhipeng said with a smile: "I'm quite strange too. She used to teach me lessons."

Zhang Chiling turned to look at the two of them and asked, "What are you talking about?"

Tian Hongtao waved his hand quickly: "I didn't say anything, just a few gossips, hehe!"

Zhang Zhipeng said with a smile: "Brother Hong Tao is a little strange, how could I persuade you to leave with just one word?"

"Sister, do you know how much money Brother Hong Tao has now?"

Tian Hongtao hurriedly said: "Then your sister must know, I always pay as much as I have."

Zhang Chiling blinked and said, "Tian Hongtao, don't worry, you gave me a total of 7 yuan, and I will never spend a penny of your money."

Tian Hongtao said with a flattering smile, "I'm giving it to you so you can spend it as you like."

"Zhipeng said that he is going to give me a salary increase this year, to 3 yuan per month! I might be able to earn yuan this year!"

Zhang Zhiling glanced at Zhang Zhipeng and said, "Zhipeng, you can't be selfish. Don't take special care of me just because we are relatives."

Zhang Zhipeng smiled and waved his hand and said, "Sister, what are you talking about?"

"Brother Hong Tao is the technical backbone of our Loongson Company!"

"He is also a dividend shareholder of our Loongson Company."

"The man you are looking for is really not bad, he is already very good."

Tian Hongtao hurriedly smiled and said: "Compared with others, he is still considered outstanding, but compared with Zhipeng, I am not even worthy of carrying his shoes."

"Zhipeng is now my role model."

Zhang Chiling rolled her eyes at Tian Hongtao and said, "You look like you are flattering and fawning, and you are not grand at all!"

This critical tone made Zhang Zhipeng a little bit dumbfounded.

"Sister, be nice to Brother Hong Tao. How can this be called flattery?"

"Do we still need to be so hostile to each other?"

Tian Hongtao nodded and said: "I sincerely admire Zhipeng! I am definitely not flattering. In the past few years since I was a doctor, I feel that I have learned the most from working with Zhipeng. It can be said that he has changed my life." Life."

Zhang Chiling smiled and said: "I just said that casually, why are you in a hurry!"

Several people got into a Santana parked on the roadside while talking.

This is Zhang Zhipeng's matching car.

They then visited several commercial housing complexes.

Zhang Zhipeng didn't take much fancy.

Because, he still felt that the apartment layout was not very reasonable, the windows were too small, and the lighting was poor.

He thought to himself, this is probably what commercial housing in this era is like, right?

If it really doesn't work, then just pick one from the few communities you've seen that you can barely get a glimpse of.

The last stop of their house viewing came to Dongbali.

There is a community here that started construction in the first half of last year, but there are already existing houses in one phase.

Zhang Zhipeng went to look at the model houses. There was a large unit of 91.3 square meters, which looked a bit like the design style of later commercial housing.

The living room has a balcony and floor-to-ceiling windows, which provide good lighting.

The bathroom and kitchen are quite large, and the bathroom is separated from wet and dry areas.

The kitchen area is not small, and it also has a small half-baked balcony. The model room is designed as a small restaurant, which looks pretty good.

This house has three bedrooms, and the area of ​​the bedrooms is not small. The smallest one is more than 21 square meters, and the largest one is as big as square meters.

However, the living room is a bit small.

A house without a shared area looks so big at 91 square meters!

This is the largest apartment in this community.

When I asked the salesperson, the asking price for the largest house was 418 yuan per square meter.

If it is 91 square meters, it will only cost about 38000 yuan.

Zhang Zhipeng was stunned when he heard the quotation and thought, this is really a bargain price!

Think about the past life, in slightly larger cities, the average house price was 20,000 to 30,000 square meters, and it also included the shared area...

The salary of an ordinary person may only be five to six thousand yuan per month, and it would take several months without food or water to afford one square meter.

Now, although housing prices are still much higher than ordinary people's wages, the gap between housing prices and average wages is really not big.

Nowadays, the monthly salary of ordinary workers is more than one hundred.

There is also a small number of people who got rich first and bought houses at this time, which is really like playing.

"I think this apartment type is pretty good. How about we form a group and have a few units here?" Zhang Zhipeng suggested.

Zhang Chiling asked: "You also want to buy a house here?"

Zhang Zhipeng nodded and said, "Yes, I plan to buy three sets, one set for me and Zhao Min, and then our parents and her parents will each buy one set."

Zhang Chiling's eyes widened when she heard this.

My brother, how loud is it that he buys three sets in one go?

Wouldn’t that cost more than 100,000?

However, when she thought about it, her brother seemed to be quite rich now.

Tian Hongtao can earn 70,000 yuan a year. If his brother is the boss, he will probably earn tens of thousands more than Tian Hongtao no matter what.

If she knew that Zhang Zhipeng received 4 million in dividends a year, she would probably be scared to death by this number.

Zhang Zhipeng will never tell anyone how much money he makes.

"Zhipeng, you are so thoughtful. I originally said that we bought a new house and that our parents would live here too," Zhang Chiling said.

Zhang Zhipeng smiled and said: "Then you didn't slap me in the face?"

"My parents have a son like me living with their daughter. What's going on?"

"Besides, Brother Hong Tao still has his parents, right?!"

"Okay, let's go back to the sales department to sign the agreement."

The salesperson on the side was almost crazy with joy: What? Can you sell 4 large apartments at once?

Several people returned to the sales department. At this moment, the entire sales department knew that a huge deal was about to be closed. The sales manager personally came forward to serve tea and snacks, and was extremely busy.

Zhang Zhipeng didn't want to write ink either. He smiled and said, "Then let's get the agreement..."

He didn't even think of bargaining. After all, in his heart, the price was already cheap enough.

Are you still embarrassed to negotiate the price?

But before he finished speaking, Zhang Chiling interrupted him: "Why are you panicking?"

"Let's buy four sets at once, so we have to negotiate the price no matter what, right?"

As she said that, she glanced at the manager of the sales department and said, "We are buying four units, should we get a discount?"

The sales manager said with a smile: "There are discounts, but our construction costs are much higher than other communities. Look, how about a 50% discount?"

Zhang Chiling shook her head and said, "No!"

"Other communities only pay more than 200 per square meter. You already pay more than 400, and you are only offering a % discount. You must not be able to accept it."

The sales manager rubbed his nose with the back of his hand and said with a smile: "Comrade, houses are different from house to house. The quality of our construction is much better, and our earthquake resistance can reach level 7 or above."

"Moreover, our unit design, floor area ratio, and greening level are much better than other commercial housing communities."

"Then I'll give you a 10% discount. It really can't be any less."

"Other customers can get a 50% discount at most."

Zhang Zhipeng smiled and wanted to say something, but Zhang Chiling stopped him with her eyes.

Zhang Chiling said: "Let's all be realistic. If you give us a 22% discount, we will sign the agreement immediately."

Zhang Zhipeng was shocked: Good guy...can you buy a house at such a low price?

He remembered that in his previous life, when he read the news about commercial housing, it was rare to see a 10% discount.

The sales manager is obviously well-informed and has seen all kinds of customers.

He acted very calmly and said with a smile: "Comrade, that's really not possible."

"It's not that price. I can only give you a 22% discount at most. It can't be any less."

"Buying a house is not like buying clothes. We don't have such a big head."

"Our boss owes a lot of debt to the bank in order to open this real estate."

"Our loan interest is more than ten points, and the cost pressure is very high..."

Zhang Chiling asked several more times, but the other party refused to give in.

Zhang Chiling stood up from the chair and said, "If you don't agree to the 20% discount, then we will buy it elsewhere."

Zhang Zhipeng saw his sister standing up, so he had no choice but to stand up and put pressure on her.

The sales manager was very helpless. He spread his hands and said with a wry smile: "I really can't give you a 20% discount. If I give you a 20% discount, you will lose money. The more you sell, the more you will lose."

Zhang Zhiling looked at Zhang Zhipeng with a smile and said, "They won't give in, so let's go buy it somewhere else. Let's go!"

Zhang Zhipeng could only smile and shake his head and said, "That's okay, you can buy it elsewhere."

Anyway, this is a price bargaining strategy.

If a few of them walk outside the door and the manager doesn't stop them, it means they really don't have that much room for profit.

So, Zhang Zhipeng followed Zhang Chiling and walked out.

They walked outside the sales department and saw no manager chasing them out.

Zhang Chiling was still a little confused: "What's going on?"

"Have they seen through us?"

Zhang Zhipeng smiled and said, "Sister, it's possible that they really don't have that much room for profit."

“This community is quite well built, the construction quality is also very good, and the apartment design is also ideal.”

Zhang Chiling said: “But it’s too expensive.”

Zhang Zhipeng said: "It's expensive, and it's more comfortable to live in a community like this!"

"Let's walk to the car. If they don't chase us out, I think we can go back."

Zhang Chiling shook her head and said, "Okay, I'll listen to you."

They came to Santana's car.

Zhang Zhipeng took out his keys and opened the car door.

At this time, Santana, which costs more than 200,000 yuan, does not have a remote control key.

In the sales hall, the female salesperson who received Zhang Zhipeng and several people was almost anxious.

"Manager, can you really not give in any more?"

"Those customers are going to run away."

The manager said: "Don't worry, wait until they get into the car, start the car and leave, and then run out."

"Right now, we are in the psychological warfare stage."

Zhang Zhipeng and others got into the car, and he took a look at the sales department hall.

You can see that the sales manager and all the salespeople are looking at their car.

Zhang Zhipeng smiled, thinking to himself, this manager is also an old fox.

It should be obvious that we have chosen the house here.

So, he is engaging in extreme psychological warfare.

As soon as he turned the key, the car started.

As soon as the car caught fire, the sales manager in the sales department became a little anxious.

Are you really leaving?

Then we have to fight for it again.

He hurriedly ran out of the sales hall.

While running, he waved to stop.

Zhang Chiling smiled and said: "I knew they were playing psychological warfare with us."

Zhang Zhipeng said: "Sister, that's a bit too cruel. I guess there really isn't that much room for profit."

Zhang Chiling said: "Impossible! The construction cost is not that much. Even if their construction quality is better, the cost per square meter will not exceed 50 yuan!"

Zhang Zhipeng smiled and said: "Sister, did you study real estate in order to buy a house?"

Zhang Chiling said with a smile: "Then you have to check some information, right? I can't let people slaughter me like a big fat sheep."

The sales manager ran to the car panting.

Zhang Zhiling, who was sitting in the passenger seat, rolled down the window: "What's wrong?"

The manager said: "Comrade, can I give you a little more discount, how about a 16% discount? It's not easy for everyone. You missed our house. You really can't find such a good apartment."

Zhang Chiling said with a smile: "Okay, eighty-six is ​​fine, but we want four 4-square-meter houses, including the model house!"

The manager breathed a sigh of relief.

He was worried that the other party would bite the bullet and not let go.

Nowadays, houses are not very easy to sell, especially such large houses.

They launched this large apartment, which is actually just a test of the water.

"Okay, okay!" The manager agreed.

Just like that, Zhang Zhipeng and his brother bought four large apartments with an area of ​​4 square meters in this community.

Sign an agreement on the spot and agree on a date to pay the full amount.

Two days later, Zhang Zhipeng and his sister paid the entire house payment.

At the same time, I also got the key to the new house.

Next, Zhang Zhipeng and Zhao Min called their parents out to look at the house together.

Zhang Qingmin thought his son was going to buy a house, so he happily took the bankbook.

When they arrived at the community, Zhang Zhipeng and Zhao Min took the four elderly people to open the three suites with keys and let them visit each one. Then, they gave them the keys to the house given to them.

Several old people were very moved. They really didn't expect that Zhang Zhipeng would give them such a good house. Of course, there was a lot of complaining, but they were very happy in their hearts and felt proud that their son and son-in-law were so considerate.

The Spring Festival of 1992 passed quickly.

On the fifth day of the Lunar New Year, Zhang Zhipeng took a plane and flew to the capital. He wanted to work with Qian Weifeng, the chief engineer of the Pili series missiles, to prepare a new air-to-air missile he designed.
