Chapter 219 Don't Play Little Tricks
The next morning, Deng Xiuzhen planned to go out for breakfast first, and then go to another real estate agency to pretend to be a buyer in order to inquire about prices.
Her intuition told her that, according to conventional thinking, Qian Leming wouldn't treat her too badly. But while one shouldn't have the heart to harm others, one should still be wary of them. Anyway, she had time and wasn't in a hurry to sell, so it was always good to take a look.
But as soon as she arrived at the hotel lobby, Qian Leming came to greet her, accompanied by another woman, who, judging by her age, was probably Qian Leming's wife.
Deng Xiuzhen was very unhappy: Qian Leming was not giving her a chance to go out and ask about the price. He was putting his blatant selling on the spot. Wasn't he being too shameless?
"Good morning, Mr. Deng and Mr. Qin!" Qian Leming greeted them warmly.
"Good morning! And who is this?" Deng Xiuzhen glanced at the woman, then turned to ask Qian Leming. She was annoyed, but didn't say anything, thinking she would send a message to Zhao Shuliang during breakfast and ask him to inquire.
If Qian Leming tries to cheat her and lower the price, she won't sell.
"This is my wife, Liu Wenwen. We thought you should go and check the price, and then we'll see if we should sign a contract."
Wenwen said that since you don't have a car, it's not very convenient, so she thought we could come and accompany you to look around. We can then discuss which price you think is reasonable." Qian Leming explained his purpose.
Liu Wenwen nodded with a smile. Although it was Qian Leming who suggested accompanying Deng Xiuzhen and the others on the tour, she had initially objected, thinking that letting them look around would be helping others negotiate prices and putting her at a disadvantage.
But Qian Leming's next words made sense to her. He said, "Who would listen to us and sell the house according to our ideas? They will definitely inquire about prices."
What if another agency snatches it away?
Courtyard houses are in high demand now, so we can't consider the price; we need to secure the available properties!
We must not let small gains lead to big losses!
We need to make them feel our sincerity, play the family card, and wage a psychological war.
……
Upon hearing Qian Leming's words, Deng Xiuzhen's displeasure dissipated, but her vigilance remained undiminished.
After having breakfast with them, Qian Leming and his wife took Deng Xiuzhen and Qin Yanlin into their car.
For safety's sake, Deng Xiuzhen sent a message to Zhao Shuliang: Uncle Zhao, Qian Leming took us to other real estate agencies to inquire about house prices.
"Boss Deng, where should we go first?" Qian Leming asked Deng Xiuzhen as he started the car.
"Huh? Where to?" Deng Xiuzhen had just sent the message and hadn't come to her senses yet.
"Should we ask the people at the courtyard house first, or the real estate agent?" Qian Leming showed no impatience and remained smiling.
"Whatever, we'll go wherever you take us," Deng Xiuzhen said indifferently.
You came early this morning to wait for us and take us to see it, so you must have already arranged things with someone else, right? What difference does it make where we go?
But it's the same no matter where you go! I'm not going to sell to you just because you did this! Don't treat me like some country bumpkin who's never seen the world, and don't try to fool me like a three-year-old!
Deng Xiuzhen sat there calmly, secretly sneering to herself.
“There are quite a few real estate agencies in Kyoto, and dozens of streets lined with traditional courtyard houses. It’s up to you where you want to go; we’re just here to pick you up and drop you off,” Qian Leming explained with a smile.
Deng Xiuzhen was slightly taken aback, but didn't say anything. After all, she had seen online in her previous life that some people acted very sincere, but in reality, they were just taking advantage of your ignorance.
Just like me right now, I have no idea what kind of real estate agencies exist or where they are located. Although I know where the courtyard houses are situated, knowing who to ask is a hassle.
If someone is ignorant, or simply naive or impulsive, they might be blinded by their behavior and either let them take them to see and ask questions, or they might directly do business with them.
Qian Leming didn't get the answer he wanted. Looking in the rearview mirror at Deng Xiuzhen's calm expression, he sighed inwardly: This Boss Deng is not easy to fool! She has a lot of money, but she's not stupid.
He subtly touched Liu Wenwen's hand while she was driving.
Upon receiving the coded message, Liu Wenwen turned around and said with a smile, "If you're unsure which agency to go to, I have a map showing the distribution of real estate agencies throughout the city. We'll take you to whichever agency you want."
When Deng Xiuzhen took it, she saw that it was a map of Kyoto, with the names of various agencies densely marked on it—more than thirty in total.
After looking around, Deng Xiuzhen randomly pointed to one and said, "How about we go to this one?"
"Okay." Qian Leming glanced at it, agreed, and started the car.
Upon arriving near the real estate agency, Qian Leming parked the car but asked Deng Xiuzhen and Qin Yanlin to go and inquire. He said they wouldn't go themselves, since they were all in the same business and somewhat familiar with each other, to avoid affecting their ability to get quotes.
Deng Xiuzhen didn't say much and led Qin Yanlin directly to the real estate agency.
"Le Ming, should we call Zhou Hai and give him some instructions?" Liu Wenwen asked as Deng Xiuzhen and the others walked away.
The agency that Deng Xiuzhen chose, Qian Leming, was friends with the owner, Zhou Hai.
“No way. This Boss Deng isn’t a novice. This time, we can only close this deal with sincerity. We can’t play tricks, or we’ll regret it.” Qian Leming refused outright.
After their brief exchange, he realized that this Boss Deng was no ordinary person. Considering the connection between Deng and Zheng, he completely abandoned any thoughts of scheming.
Deng Xiuzhen was unaware of these things. To avoid being scammed, she and Qin Yanlin went to this agency to inquire about prices, but asked Zhao Shuliang to help them secretly inquire about prices at another agency.
Qian Leming patiently accompanied Deng Xiuzhen and Qin Yanlin, going wherever they were told to go. Moreover, the couple themselves did not show their faces, acting only as professional pick-up and drop-off personnel.
Deng Xiuzhen and Zhao Shuliang inquired at several stores, and the prices were not significantly different.
Deng Xiuzhen felt Qian Leming's sincerity.
Qin Yanlin kept saying he was tired and hungry and wanted to eat, so Deng Xiuzhen lost interest in watching anymore.
Qian Leming warmly invited them to lunch, saying he would take them to see it after lunch.
Deng Xiuzhen asked Qian Leming directly: What price can you offer?
Having abandoned any thoughts of playing tricks, Qian Leming directly offered a price of 3.1 million.
Deng Xiuzhen had no objections. After finishing their meal, the four of them went back and signed the contract.
Having worked in the real estate brokerage industry for many years, Qian Leming had connections in this field. The procedures were handled exceptionally quickly, and the transfer of ownership was completed the very next day.
The house sale went too smoothly. Deng Xiuzhen had money and was eager to go back to Shenzhen to buy a house before returning to Pucheng.
So I cancelled the ticket that was originally for the day after tomorrow and bought a ticket for 5:32 pm that day.
"So eager to leave?" Zhao Shuliang was quite surprised.
"I'm worried about the children and want to get back as soon as possible," Deng Xiuzhen replied while packing her things.
Zhao Shuliang didn't try to persuade them any further. He bought some fruit and canned goods and saw them off on the train.
With her enhanced memory and familiarity with the personalities and preferences of Long Xiaobin's family, Qin Wenxin quickly gained their affection and trust.
After verifying that Qin Wenxin's identity information was true, Yao Suying and Long Congjun accepted Qin Wenxin, not only allowing Long Xiaobin to contact Qin Wenxin, but also providing various forms of support and advice.
Qin Wenxin successfully integrated into the Long family.
