How could someone who's been reborn be optimized?

Chapter 23: How much do you want?

For Chen Yuanzhou, who had been observing her, Liu Beige's decision was entirely expected.

However, this girl was too young, and Chen Yuanzhou wasn't sure if she had the right to make that decision, so he tentatively asked, "Ms. Liu, wouldn't you like to bring your family to see her? Or perhaps your partner..."

"No need!" Liu Beige interrupted him with a smile, "It's enough that I like it. You can help me with the formalities."

She then added with some concern, "But I only brought 10 yuan with me today. It might take a few more days to prepare 300 million. Is that alright?"

"Could you talk to the landlord and hold the apartment for me? For a week... no, five days! I can definitely prepare 3 million within five days!"

"Uh~"

Chen Yuanzhou scratched his head, realizing that Liu Beige really knew nothing about buying a house!

That's understandable. It's normal for someone so young to lack social experience; you could tell from the very first thing she said when she walked in.

So Chen Yuanzhou gave her a general overview of the process of buying and selling a second-hand house, from the agreement between the two parties, signing the contract online, paying the purchase price, and finally the handover of the property, as well as the related taxes and fees.

Liu Beige was relieved to hear this and happily said, "Then there's no problem! I'll give the landlord 10 yuan as a deposit today, and pay the full amount after signing the contract. The total price is around 325 million yuan, right?"

"Yes," Chen Yuanzhou replied, his understanding of Liu Beige becoming clearer.

If it were a regular customer, not to mention that they didn't even mention negotiating the price, the extra 25 yuan in taxes would inevitably lead to more unnecessary arguments, but Liu Beige didn't care at all.

What a perfect customer!

Just then, Ye Xiuxue and Fan Wenli appeared on the third floor. Ye Xiuxue stood at the door of the terrace and waved to Chen Yuanzhou, signaling him to come over.

"Please wait a moment."

"Okay, okay~" Liu Beige nodded, completely unguarded when the others called out to Chen Yuanzhou, and instead took out her Sharp 9010C to continue taking beautiful selfies.

Chen Yuanzhou was pulled to the other side of the third floor by the couple. After confirming that Liu Beige on the terrace couldn't hear him, Ye Xiuxue said seriously, "Manager Chen, we've discussed it carefully, and we can offer 270 million for this house!"

"Yes, yes!" Fan Wenli chimed in from the side, "We've already added 10 yuan. Go talk to the landlord, and we can sign the contract today. We've brought all the money, look!"

As he spoke, Fan Wenli carefully opened the bag, revealing two stacks of banknotes inside.

Seeing this, Chen Yuanzhou said in a gentle tone, "Gentlemen, the landlord definitely won't accept this price."

The two frowned as they listened. Ye Xiuxue said to his wife, "I told you, we can't be so stingy."

He then turned to Chen Yuanzhou: "280 million! That's the highest price we can accept! Manager Chen, please help us..."

"That client on the terrace has already paid 300 million," Chen Yuanzhou interrupted him directly, "and it's a one-time payment!"

"Ah..." the couple exclaimed softly, their expressions immediately becoming anxious.

Fan Wenli's eyes flickered several times before he grabbed Chen Yuanzhou's sleeve and hurriedly said, "Manager Chen, you haven't told the landlord yet! Go tell him we'll offer 280 million! If you can help us buy this house, I'll pay you the rest separately..."

"Five hundred yuan!"

"How is it?"

Upon hearing this, Chen Yuanzhou frantically racked his brains, recalling all the sad things he had thought of, before managing to hold back his laughter.

But seeing that he remained silent, Fan Wenli assumed that he was somewhat moved and then said, "This five hundred yuan is for you personally, and I promise I won't tell your store manager."

However, she didn't know that her words, when heard by Chen Yuanzhou, were equivalent to telling him that even if she helped them get the house, they might not get the money.

If I dare to ask them for it, they will tell the store manager!

"You two..." Chen Yuanzhou shook his head again, "As an agent, my job is to protect the interests of both parties. If a client has already offered 300 million, it's not professional ethics for me to tell the landlord it's only 280 million!"

"How much do you want?" Fan Wenli pressed, in her mind it was just a matter of money.

As long as the money is there, there's always a way!

So she raised the stakes: "I'll give you another three thousand!"

Chen Yuanzhou: "..."

"Five thousand!"

"Please listen to me..."

"Eight thousand! That's the most! You don't want ten thousand, do you?"

"This really isn't about the money!"

"How much do you want?"

Fan Wenli's patience was gradually reaching its limit.

She said unhappily, "Just tell the landlord that we're just trying to make a living, and that we'll take good care of her nice renovation and won't let her hard work go to waste."

"Look at that young girl, so young, how could she know how to cherish it? Selling such a nice house to her would be a waste! She'll wear high heels and ruin all those nice solid wood floors!"

Chen Yuanzhou found something increasingly wrong with what he was hearing. What was all this about?

The house has already been sold, so why should we care where others live?

Forget about wearing high heels on the floor; even if someone wanted to have a floor panel built into their high heels, that's none of your business!

Chen Yuanzhou felt he was talking to a brick wall, so he could only sigh and shake his head, saying, "Your payment method is already problematic, and if you don't have an advantage in price, there's really nothing I can do."

He turned and left after he finished speaking, and as for Fan Wenli's additional comment of "285 million", he simply pretended not to hear it.

Back on the terrace, Liu Beige was touching up her makeup with a small mirror. Seeing Chen Yuanzhou appear, she smiled expectantly and asked, "Manager Chen, how did it go?"

"Let's go find the landlord and sign the contract," Chen Yuanzhou nodded in agreement.

As they spoke, the two went upstairs to call Zhou Yun, and then went down to the living room on the first floor together.

At this time, there were still many customers gathered on the first floor looking at the house. Seeing this, they all showed curious expressions, including Ye Xiuxue and Fan Wenli, one with a helpless look on his face and the other with a huff, who also came over to watch.

This is the effect Chen Yuanzhou wanted to achieve. After all, although these customers didn't buy the house, they are still highly targeted customers. Creating an atmosphere in front of them and planting the seed of "houses are in high demand" in their minds might have a big impact later.

And signing the contract in front of everyone might bring unexpected surprises!

Chen Yuanzhou took out the agreement he had prepared beforehand, asked the two for their ID cards, and began to fill in the contents of the agreement.

At this point, a customer asked, "Xiao Chen, is it sold? How much?"

"300 million, paid in one lump sum."

Instantly, a chorus of "Wow!" erupted!

Everyone stared at Liu Beige in surprise, shocked that such a young girl could actually come up with 300 million yuan.

Some sharp-eyed people noticed that Liu Beige's clothes were quite expensive, and they whispered to the person next to them.

Surrounded by a crowd, Liu Beige showed no discomfort whatsoever, and even inadvertently revealed a hint of smugness.

She's about to get the house she likes, so she's in a great mood!

Chen Yuanzhou quickly filled out the agreement and then placed it in front of the two women for them to sign.

At that moment, a person suddenly stepped out from the crowd and said, "Landlord, wait! I'll offer 305 million, and I'll pay in full upfront. Sell it to me!"
