Chapter 31: The Long-Term Plan
Chapter 31: The Long-Term Plan
As soon as Chen Yuanzhou stepped out of the store, he saw the security guards of the community lined up in an open space across the street, seemingly two teams changing shifts.
A security guard wearing a red armband stood at the front of the line; he must have been the security captain.
Seeing this, Chen Yuanzhou blinked, turned and went into the small shop next door. When he came out again, he was carrying a black plastic bag.
When he arrived at the entrance of the residential area, the shift handover was not yet over, so Chen Yuanzhou deliberately waited for a while at a distance.
He only hurried over when the queue was disbanded.
"Hey~ Brother Chen, you're looking at apartments again?" A young security guard greeted him with a smile.
The security guard's name is Luo Jiwang, and he is not yet 20 years old. Chen Yuanzhou got to know him after chatting with him briefly yesterday. He is a rather honest and simple country boy.
"Xiao Luo, is that your captain? What's his name?" Chen Yuanzhou asked.
"Yes, he's in charge of all the security at Qinchun Garden." Luo Jiwang nodded. "His name is Luo Maocai, he's my uncle. Do you need to see him?"
"Is he your uncle?" Chen Yuanzhou thought to himself, "That's convenient. Could you introduce us?"
Luo Jiwang didn't think much of it and led Chen Yuanzhou directly to Luo Maocai: "Uncle, this is Brother Chen from Zhuowu Company across the street~"
Luo Maocai looked at his nephew with some surprise, then asked Chen Yuanzhou, "What's wrong?"
"Uncle Luo, my name is Chen Yuanzhou. Hey~ it's nothing really." Chen Yuanzhou said, handing over the plastic bag in his hand: "I work as a broker at Qinchun Garden, and I'm in and out every day, so I often have to bother you. I just wanted to say hello and get to know you. If anything happens in the future, I'll have to ask you to take care of me."
Luo Maocai was a little confused by what he said!
Normally, whether it's a resident or a visitor, who even gives the security guard a second glance?
They are like NPCs that spawn at the entrance of every residential area, and they have long been used to being automatically ignored by countless people coming and going. They are only remembered when something really happens.
Luo Maocai took the plastic bag with a puzzled look and glanced inside. He saw two packs of cigarettes and two bottles of liquor, and quickly tried to stuff them back in.
"Xiao Chen, right?" He suddenly became a little flustered: "What are you doing? Just tell me what's wrong. We're just security guards, we probably can't help you much."
Chen Yuanzhou smiled and refused to accept it: "Uncle Luo, just take it. You can share it with everyone or keep it for yourself, it's fine with you. It's just a small token of my appreciation. After all, you all work hard every day, exposed to the sun and rain."
"Besides, since Xiao Luo calls me 'brother,' I'll call you 'uncle.' When you're out in the world, having more friends means having more options, right?"
"I don't have anything specific to say, I just wanted to get to know you!"
Luo Maocai couldn't put it back in, and was a little troubled holding the plastic bag. He noticed a group of security guards looking over curiously, so after thinking for a moment, he and Luo Jiwang opened the cigarettes together.
"Everyone who smokes gets a pack, let's share!" he called out to everyone.
Actually, the cigarettes Chen Yuanzhou gave him weren't anything fancy or expensive; they were just Liqun soft pack Sunshine cigarettes, which usually sell for 35 yuan a pack.
However, given the security guards' usual income, they wouldn't normally be willing to take a ticket at this price, so they all happily scrambled to grab them.
Several of them recognized Chen Yuanzhou and mentioned the young agent to everyone. They all greeted Chen Yuanzhou with laughter and jokes.
Having achieved his goal, Chen Yuanzhou didn't linger. After leaving Luo Maocai's phone number, he waved to everyone as a greeting and headed straight into the residential area.
Luo Jiwang was a little confused about Chen Yuanzhou's purpose in doing these things, and curiously asked Luo Maocai, "Uncle, why is Brother Chen sending us things?"
Luo Maocai thought for a moment, then opened a pack of cigarettes, lit one, and chuckled, "Once you figure it out yourself, your parents won't have to worry about you anymore."
In fact, Luo Maocai understood that Chen Yuanzhou was trying to build a relationship with him.
The relationship between security guards and real estate agents who frequently come to view properties in any residential community is actually somewhat delicate.
Normally, you have to register with your ID card to enter and exit the community. Many real estate agents find this troublesome, which often leads to minor arguments and frictions with the security guards.
Although it's not a big deal, over the years, some petty people will inevitably accumulate some resentment, so they might deliberately cause trouble for those they don't like.
With Chen Yuanzhou's move, he will not only have unimpeded access to the Qinchun Jiayuan community, but if anything happens, people might even be willing to help him.
"This young man knows how to handle things!" Luo Maocai thought to himself as he smoked.
As Chen Yuanzhou walked, he was also making plans in his mind...
According to his plan, he estimated that he would have to operate in Qinchun Jiayuan for a while longer, so getting the security guards on board would be very important.
From small things like showing properties to clients and facilitating parking in the community, to larger things like competing for listings and blocking other real estate agencies, the basis for all these operations is security.
Moreover, the security guards are the ones who truly know the neighborhood best; nothing can escape their notice, which is their advantage in terms of information.
Therefore, building closer relationships with everyone is only the first step. To truly achieve certain goals, we still need to continue working on this gradually.
Not only security guards, but also property management companies, communities, and related departments are all within his consideration.
This is Chen Yuanzhou's long-term plan. If he can develop Qinchun Jiayuan, a large community with a building area of nearly one million square meters and more than 6000 units, into his base, the benefits will be immeasurable.
Chen Yuanzhou felt that spending a little money for this was a great deal!
……
When Chen Yuanzhou arrived at Zhou Yun's door, he saw that the door was ajar, so he stood at the door and knocked.
"Come in!" Zhou Yun's voice came from inside.
When Chen Yuanzhou opened the door, he saw that she had changed into a neat outfit and was mopping the floor in the living room.
"Excuse me!" Chen Yuanzhou quickly put on shoe covers in the entryway. "So many clients came to see the house this afternoon, did you make a mess?"
Zhou Yun smiled and shook her head: "It's okay. We used to have a housekeeping service do the cleaning, but now that we've sold it, I thought I'd clean it myself for once."
"I didn't expect it to be so tiring..."
Chen Yuanzhou laughed and said, "Usually, the ladies who live in this kind of house don't need to clean it themselves."
"Yes~ so in the end I was not destined to live in a row house!" Zhou Yun's voice was somewhat dejected.
She straightened up, supporting herself with one hand on the mop and rubbing her lower back with the other, a bitter smile on her face.
For her, who had been pampered for many years and never lifted a finger to do housework, cleaning such a large house was truly not an easy task.
"Are you tired?" Chen Yuanzhou asked. "Are you still looking at houses today? Or maybe tomorrow..."
"Look!" Zhou Yun immediately replied, "The sooner the better!"
She said earnestly, "Ideally, the apartment should be ready for immediate handover; I want to move out as soon as possible."
Chen Yuanzhou could understand Zhou Yun's mindset.
Selling this house is equivalent to her completely severing ties with her former life as a kept woman, a dramatic change both emotionally and in terms of her lifestyle!
"Oh, right~" Chen Yuanzhou handed over the file folder: "This is Ms. Liu's deposit. I have received the property certificate and can now hand it over to you. You can just sign a receipt."
Zhou Yun nodded, signed the receipt, opened the file folder, looked inside, took out 3 yuan, and handed it to Chen Yuanzhou...
