128: The store manager is devastated! My outstanding employee!

The person on the other end of the line spoke slowly, "Oh, oh, hello. My name is Li Bainiu. Is there a tenant who wants to rent the house?"

Chen Kai nodded and spoke slowly, "Yes, hello Bainiu, I am a Real Estate Agent."

"I have a client here who has taken a fancy to your house, and I wanted to ask what your lowest price is."

The man on the other end of the phone pondered for a moment before speaking slowly.

"Hmm... I'm renting it out for 3,200. After deducting your Real Estate Agent commission, how long does your client want to rent it for?"

Chen Kai frowned and thought it over carefully. He might only live there for a few months, but it was impossible to buy a house immediately just because he had enough money for the full payment in hand.

He needed to keep some money on hand to feel secure. Houses and such were just empty concepts; buying a house cost two million, while renting was 3,000 a month. The money for buying a house would be enough to rent for over fifty years.

Renting for a year would be just about right, given his current earning speed. He could earn enough for a house in three months.

Only then did he speak slowly, saying to the person on the other end of the line.

"We can sign a one-year contract first, with a deposit of one month's rent and quarterly payments."

"If it's for a year, then let's make it 3,000. You take a 25% commission, so that makes it 4,000, which is 48,000 a year."

"By the way... there is still a storage room at home. Could you check if there are many things inside?"

The man on the other end of the phone suddenly asked, his tone carrying a hint of embarrassment.

Upon hearing this, Chen Kai's heart tightened immediately.

This guy wouldn't be coming to take the miscellaneous items, would he? If he came over to get them, Chen Kai would have to take a risk and take that wooden box away beforehand.

"Yes, the storage room is quite messy, and there are quite a lot of things."

"Oh, I see. Well, young man, I'll give you 200 yuan. Could you help me hire a cleaner to tidy it up? You can just get rid of everything in the storage room."

"This house used to be where my dad lived. He insisted on moving back to the countryside. The things left in the house are old items he didn't take with him; they don't have any value."

"They are an eyesore just piling up there. I'm out of town and can't get back, so I'll trouble you, young man, to help clean it up."

Chen Kai was stunned, and he couldn't stop the corners of his mouth from curling up.

This was great; he could even make some money.

"Alright, no problem. You can add me on WeChat using this phone number in a moment. Are you sure you don't want any of the miscellaneous items in the house?"

"Yes, yes! I'm sure. There's nothing useful left by the old man anyway. It saves the tenant from being dissatisfied if they see it, which would be a big loss."

"Okay, I've added you, please accept the request."

Chen Kai acknowledged, hung up the phone, and accepted the WeChat friend request.

Right off the bat, Li Bainiu transferred 200 yuan to him and told him to just take the client to the Real Estate Agent to sign the rental contract, having completely entrusted the matter to the Real Estate Agent.

Chen Kai looked at it and chuckled. In this case, the rental cost was 48,000, 4,000 a month, 48,000 a year.

But this was the price after the Real Estate Agent's commission. He offered a 20% commission for his first deal, which meant the monthly rent was 3,200, with the Homeowner getting 3,000. The extra 200 went to the Real Estate Agent boss.

The annual rent was 38,400, letting the Real Estate Agent boss earn 2,400 yuan.

It wasn't a loss; otherwise, since the client was out of town, it was equivalent to buying a channel for 2,400.

Not only did he buy the channel, but he also saved 9,600 on rent.

More importantly, a single bond could sell for 80,000, netting over 40,000 in profit plus the usage rights to a house for a year.

This was a huge profit.

Chen Kai walked to the storage room with a smile, pushed aside the small curtain, moved away the old bed sheets and quilt covers, and revealed a shabby little wooden box placed in the middle of a pile of cardboard boxes.

The box was emitting a faint glow. He picked up the wooden box and looked at it; it was handmade and square.

It looked like it had some age to it.

He flipped open the wooden box, and inside was a gray piece of paper tightly wrapped in a plastic sealable bag.

On the gray paper, one could faintly see news from a 1940s newspaper.

On it were written a few large characters: Borrowed 200 yuan, signed: xxx Jun.

Chen Kai was overjoyed and quickly put the gray paper back into the sealable bag and stuffed it into his pocket.

After thinking about it, he went downstairs, locked the door, and rode his Electric Scooter back to the Real Estate Agent shop.

Just as he returned to the Real Estate Agent shop, the manager, who had been busy working, greeted him enthusiastically.

"How was it? Does your client want to rent it? This house is quite good."

Chen Kai smiled, "They want to rent it. Let's sign a one-year contract first. The Homeowner said it's fine to sign the contract directly with you."

The manager was immediately excited. "How long?"

"One year, with a deposit of one month's rent and quarterly payments."

"The price dropped a bit, 3,000 a month. Including our shop's 25% commission, it's 4,000 a month, 48,000 a year."

Upon hearing this, the manager immediately boiled over with excitement, almost jumping up.

His eyes were full of appreciation and joy for recruiting such talent.

"Holy crap, you are so f***ing awesome! You closed a deal on your first day of work, and it's a big one-year contract."

"You are naturally cut out for sales! Let's sign the contract now!"

"By the way, I said I'd only take 5 points. You have the client transfer you 48,000, and you transfer me 38,400. The other 9,600 is your commission."

Chen Kai nodded, picked up the pen, and signed the contract.

"The tenant couldn't make it, so they asked me to sign on their behalf. I'll just sign it."

He smiled faintly, transferred 38,400 to the manager's WeChat, and transferred the 3,000 deposit separately.

The manager received the money, his eyes full of excitement.

"Good, good, keep up the good work! I appreciate you so much; you closed a deal on your first day."

"You did a great job today; your future is promising."

"Tomorrow, I'll take you around to familiarize yourself with the property types nearby."

Chen Kai smiled faintly and took out the keys to the other buildings, placing them on the table.

He let out a long sigh and suddenly became a bit sorrowful.

"Forget it, I don't think I'm cut out to be a Real Estate Agent. I feel like my communication with people is a bit unnatural."

"I'll just resign voluntarily. I've taken my daily commission, so I don't need today's base salary of 100."

The manager had just been immersed in the excitement of gaining a new employee with rich client resources, but the very next moment, he was resigning?

He was instantly dumbfounded, his face full of question marks.

"No... you... you..."

"Ah, sorry manager, it really isn't a good fit. I'm heading out now."

After saying this, Chen Kai ran off immediately.

Leaving only the manager standing dumbfounded in the shop.

Such an outstanding employee, gone on the very first day?

No!!! My employee!!!

...

Chen Kai left the Real Estate Agent shop, and just as he was about to ride his little electric donkey towards Yunshang Pavilion, he received a call from Zheng Liu Chang.

"Hello? Godson, I helped you sell your armchair. The full price is 55,000, and the buyer has already transferred the money. Do you want to sell it? Or do you want to keep it listed in the live broadcast room for a few more days?"
