Chapter 55: An eye for an eye
Chen Yuanzhou sat in front of the computer for most of the day, without even having lunch, and wrote a post of over ten thousand words. He then carefully reviewed it several times to make sure it was correct.
However, the ID "Easily Hurt Woman" could no longer be used, so Chen Yuanzhou registered a new ID and openly used his real name: Real Estate Agent Chen Yuanzhou.
Copy and send.
Then, he sent the relevant information about the post to Wu Shihao.
It was a long time before I received a message from Wu Shihao.
[Dude, isn't this post a bit over the top? Even if you want to create a buzz, you can't go this far!]
Adding water won't help if the oil in the pan gets cold.
Wu Shihao looked at Chen Yuanzhou's reply and smiled helplessly.
He started reading Chen Yuanzhou's posts again from the beginning, from the impact of the subprime crisis to its economic shock to the domestic market, and then to the stock market and the real estate market.
Faced with this situation, banks have already cut interest rates twice, but the measures are clearly insufficient. Therefore, Chen Yuanzhou's statement that interest rates will be cut further is actually quite reasonable.
However, the phrase "skyrocketing housing prices" is simply too alarming!
As ordinary people, who wouldn't want houses to be so cheap that everyone can afford them?
The post has only been out for a short time, but there are already many comments online.
These comments are broadly divided into two camps, one of which consists of homeowners who have already purchased a house.
As beneficiaries, this group felt that the post was reasonable and well-founded, and that what it said was true.
The other group, on the other hand, consists mostly of mindless insults and relentless pessimism.
A chorus of curses erupted!
It's conceivable that if this post really goes viral, it could spark even more arguments.
Chen Yuanzhou insisted on pinning this post himself to the top to attract traffic…
Can we really achieve our ultimate goal?
At this moment, Wu Shihao regretted not meeting with Chen Yuanzhou. If he had communicated with him beforehand and understood his intentions well enough, he wouldn't be in this predicament now.
After much deliberation, he decided to trust the young man's judgment and dialed the phone numbers of the forum editors upstairs and downstairs...
……
After days of busy work, Chen Yuanzhou finally had some free time.
The post made it to the front page of the forum the very next day, and the traffic surged as seen in the backend, reaching hundreds of thousands of views in just one or two days.
I also received many private messages, and the 99+ notifications never disappeared.
However, most of them were unfounded insults, which Chen Yuanzhou ignored. He simply asked Mo Dongyan to help sort out and reply to the private messages inquiring about housing.
He himself sat at the doorway, basking in the warm autumn sun, smoking with Zhang Wang.
"It's already the 29th, aren't you worried at all?" Zhang Wang stubbed out his cigarette and took out a piece of Wrigley's gum to chew.
"Are you in a relationship?" Chen Yuanzhou replied, seemingly ignoring the question.
Zhang Wang paused, then chuckled awkwardly, "How did you know?"
"What else could be the reason for chewing gum after smoking?"
"Haha~" Zhang Wang chuckled, tacitly agreeing, but still somewhat worried for him: "Peng Yong keeps nagging me every day, asking if you can come up with 20,000 if you lose..."
Just then, a small electric scooter drove onto the sidewalk from the intersection and sped towards us before screeching to a stop.
"Old Zhang!" The man who came was a man in his thirties, wearing a badge from Zhuowu Company, thin, and wearing metal-framed glasses.
"Heh~" Zhang Wang saw him and gave a formulaic smile: "Little Peng, what brings you here?"
The visitor was Peng Yong, the store manager of Yijingyuan store.
"You must be Chen Yuanzhou?" Peng Yong looked at Chen Yuanzhou. "So? Does our bet still stand?"
"Of course it counts," Chen Yuanzhou said confidently. "Is Manager Peng afraid I'll run away? That's why he's keeping an eye on me."
Peng Yong laughed and said, "No, no, I'm just here to help a client with the transfer of ownership of a set-top box."
As he spoke, he pointed to the "Wasu Business Hall" next to the Qinchun Jiayuan store. This is a digital television provider in the province, mainly engaged in digital television and broadband internet services.
Since the TV set-top box is bound to a fixed address, after a second-hand house transaction, in addition to traditional accounts such as water, electricity, and gas, the TV set-top box also needs to undergo a transfer procedure.
Peng Yong continued, "But today is already the 29th, and there are only 3 days left including today. There are still tens of thousands of yuan in sales to be made!"
"Just a heads-up, so you don't make excuses later."
Zhang Wang thought for a moment and said, "Xiao Peng, you're a store manager, why are you arguing with an agent? Aren't you ashamed?"
"Old Zhang, you can't say that," Peng Yong teased. "He was the one who set the conditions; I just added a little something extra. Besides, you've almost lured my agent away... Mo Dongyan was talking to me about transferring the store yesterday."
"Is that so?" Zhang Wang pursed his lips.
It is very rare for agents to switch stores within a real estate agency.
Generally speaking, agents with poor performance are directly laid off and will not have the opportunity to transfer to another store.
High-performing agents, even if they have a solid foundation at their own branch, would not easily make such a request.
If the store is really transferred, it means that the conflict between the agent and the store manager has become irreconcilable, and the transfer is inevitable. This is an extremely embarrassing thing for the store manager.
"She's a newbie, she just doesn't know anything, and she even took Xiao Chen as her mentor, hahaha~ Just kidding, look at you, you actually took it seriously."
Zhang Wang tried to smooth things over.
But Peng Yong suddenly said seriously, "I don't care about any of that. In short, if you lose, just remember to pay up."
"What money are you giving me?" Suddenly another voice came, and Wu Jielei was seen walking over unsteadily with Sun Qiang behind him.
Zhang Wang frowned, wondering what was going on today, with everyone heading to Qinchun Garden.
Looking at his face, Wu Jielei laughed and said, "What's with that expression? Sun Qiang has a client coming to see the house, and I just happened to have nothing to do, so I came out for a stroll."
He then turned to Chen Yuanzhou: "Little Chen, out of all the agents in our area, are you the one who can cause the most trouble? That post you wrote is getting a lot of attention right now."
"What post?" Peng Yong asked, puzzled.
"Never mind if you don't know." Wu Jielei ignored him and then looked at Zhang Wang and Peng Yong: "But what are you two up to? That day, it was clearly Xiao Chen showing the client around, how did it become Yijingyuan?"
"Ha~" Peng Yong also pretended to be mysterious: "I won't tell you."
Wu Jielei: "..."
He adjusted his glasses: "The deal is good, but be careful not to let it turn into a dispute. Young people these days are really reckless in sales; don't try to steal a chicken and end up losing the rice instead."
"What do you mean?" Peng Yong asked, frowning.
But Zhang Wang and Chen Yuanzhou understood; Wu Jielei was clearly referring to Fang Zhaodi's order.
So it seems that Zhang Caijuan contacted Wu Jielei's side first?
That should be correct, after all, he's the closest to Chenxing Community.
However, he did not give any reminder to the Qinchun Jiayuan store that day…
Zhang Wang gave Wu Jielei a deep look, but the sunlight reflecting off Wu's glasses obscured his eyes, though the faint smile at the corner of his mouth carried a hint of mockery…
At this moment, Sun Qiang came out after getting the keys. Wu Jielei waved his hand, and the two walked across the street together.
Peng Yong also sensed that something was off, so he shrugged and went into the adjacent business hall, leaving Zhang Wang and Chen Yuanzhou behind.
"That old Wu," Zhang Wang said gravely to Chen Yuanzhou, "seems to hold a grudge against you!"
Chen Yuanzhou watched the two from afar and chuckled, "He said the other day that I was overreaching and selling in Chenxing Community, and today he comes running over here~"
"Since he's already brought his customers to my door, wouldn't it be ungrateful of me not to keep them?"
Zhang Wang quickly said, "Xiao Chen, forget it."
"But he also asked Sun Qiang to come with me that day," Chen Yuanzhou said coldly.
He hadn't told Zhang Wang about this, and now that he heard Wu Jielei had done something like this, Zhang Wang's anger flared up...
He was not unaware that Wu Jielei was openly and covertly trying to outdo him and sabotage him, but considering the need for harmony, he acted very magnanimously as long as it did not harm his core interests.
However, having the same company send agents to stalk and intercept customers crosses Zhang Wang's bottom line!
So he angrily asked, "What do you want to do?"
Chen Yuanzhou chuckled, a sly glint in his eyes: "An eye for an eye."
