192: Now that I've got the house, I'm going to sell loquats!
"650,000 is definitely not going to work, Brother."
The Real Estate Agent looked like he was about to cry, his face long and full of despair.
"The Homeowner is prepared to sell it for 650,000; you have to let me make a little something, right!"
The Real Estate Agent secretly observed Chen Kai's expression. If it were a full cash payment, he could easily just give the Homeowner 600,000, but he felt that earning 50,000 was too little.
Opening for business once every three years, and living off that one opening for three years—he didn't sell many houses a year anyway, so when he finally had a house that could be sold, shouldn't he earn a bit more?
Sometimes, when the market was bad, he could only close one deal every six months, and not every deal was a big one like this.
Some deals might only earn 10,000 or 20,000 yuan. If he only closed two deals a year, that was only 10,000 or 20,000 per deal. Since he finally had an opportunity to make a big score, how could he let it slip by?
"Then 680,000. 680,000 at most, take it or leave it. See if you can sell it; if not, I'll go look for another place."
Chen Kai shrugged indifferently. Anyway, the system's recommended price was 800,000, so as long as it was under 800,000, he wouldn't lose money no matter how he bought it.
"Hiss... Alright, alright! 680,000 it is! Deal at 680,000!!"
The Real Estate Agent looked helpless, but he was secretly gloating inside—80,000 yuan in the bag!!!
Even if he didn't close another deal for the rest of the year, he wouldn't have to worry!
Chen Kai curled the corner of his mouth faintly, took out his Bank card, and swiped it directly on the POS machine.
【Ding! Payment successful, 680,000 yuan.】
As soon as the Real Estate Agent received the money, he became excited and immediately called the original Homeowner.
The original Homeowner was also very excited to hear the news that the house had been sold.
"What!!! The house is sold?"
"That's wonderful! I'm coming over right now!!"
Soon after, less than ten minutes after hanging up, the female Homeowner rushed to the Real Estate Agent's office.
The original Homeowner walked in, a smile spread across her face.
"Oh my, I've finally sold this dump!"
"I wonder which sucker took it off my hands. So stupid. Why buy a house there? Buying a house on Chunjiang Road... what's even worth buying in this old, run-down neighborhood?"
"Finally, they took the bait, hahaha! Kid, you did a good job; I'll definitely give you your commission!"
The Real Estate Agent quickly gave the Homeowner a look, signaling that the buyer was still right here—how could she say such things??
His eyes especially seemed to be calling the female Homeowner a total idiot. He quickly looked back at Chen Kai and put on an apologetic smile.
"This Homeowner speaks without thinking; please don't take it to heart, Brother."
"Actually, our house on Chunjiang Road is still very excellent, it has many advantages..."
Chen Kai scoffed disdainfully. Who was the real sucker? He'd know in five days.
Mocking him now? After five days, it would be too late for her to cry.
Calling it a burden?? Finally got rid of this dump? The more rampant she laughed now, the more miserably she would cry later.
Chen Kai smiled faintly, "Let's sign the contract and process the paperwork now."
"No problem!! No problem!! We must do it now! I'm afraid you'll regret it!!"
The female Homeowner was all smiles, afraid that Chen Kai would regret it, and immediately pulled the property deed from her pocket.
The female Homeowner hurriedly took out the property deed and immediately led Chen Kai to process the paperwork and transfer the property.
Only then did she feel relieved to complete the transaction, handed the keys to Chen Kai, and curled her lips with a hint of mockery.
"Alright, this dump of a house is yours. By the way, this building only has six floors, and the light on the fifth floor is broken."
"The place is also quite messy, there's quite a bit of trash piled up, remember to throw it out. I should thank you for being free labor. Hehehe~~"
"I think the neighborhood next door is nice; maybe there's a chance for demolition there. I'm going to buy a unit and wait for the demolition. Thank you! If I get a few million in demolition compensation, I'll really have to thank you properly."
The female Homeowner smiled, then walked away carefree, planning to buy a house in the surrounding area.
Chen Kai watched the woman's receding back and smiled silently.
The house right now is about to be demolished, and you're going to buy a house nearby? Just wait and regret it.
Thinking this, he put the property deed in his car and waited for the phone call the day after tomorrow.
He thought for a moment and decided to go to the market to investigate the current loquat market situation.
A Typhoon had just blown through yesterday; the market might have already surged.
Stepping on the gas, he headed toward the nearby Fruit Market.
...In less than half an hour, Chen Kai parked his car at the nearby Fruit Market.
After parking at the Fruit Market, he quickly got out of the car and took a walk around the Fruit Market.
There were far fewer people selling loquats, but quite a few more people buying them.
Moreover, the loquats being sold weren't very fresh; one look and you could tell they weren't just picked from the tree—the leaves were already a bit withered.
Originally, this kind of thing would only cost two yuan per jin in the market, but now it was actually selling for 16 per jin.
And the buyers were endless; some were even hauling them away by the truckload.
"Brother, this is too expensive. Since when can loquats sell for 16 per jin!??"
"You... isn't this ripping people off? How am I supposed to sell mine? Can others afford to buy loquats at 26 per jin? Is this going to let us second-hand vendors do business or not?"
Chen Kai curled the corner of his mouth slightly; he immediately felt that the time was right.
And... going to talk to the Qiuqiu jam manufacturer about the acquisition issue at this time didn't seem like much of a problem.
At this price, the people acquiring loquats were probably already panicking, and the impact on the market was more severe than he had anticipated.
So that means... these fruit farmers already knew each other's intelligence? And they all said their own loquat orchards had been destroyed by the Typhoon?
Chen Kai curled his lips; knowing the market situation made things easier.
He immediately drove toward the Qiuqiu jam factory.
...In less than half an hour, Chen Kai parked his car at the entrance of the Qiuqiu jam factory.
He walked quickly toward the factory, bribed the security guard using his familiar method, and then hurried inside.
Once he reached the office building inside the factory, he hurriedly took the elevator to the top floor toward the Chairman's office.
Standing at the door, he knocked on the office door, and a silent, cold voice came from inside.
"Enter."
Upon hearing this, Chen Kai immediately pushed the door open and walked in, smiling as he sized up the Chairman of the Qiuqiu Group.
"Who are you?"
The Chairman was full of questions; it seemed he had never seen this face before, right?
Is this someone from their company? He didn't look like it, did he?
"Oh, I am a loquat supplier. Recently, the loquat supply was cut off by the Typhoon. Now, only sub-par loquats are left on the market, and there is a state of shortage. I believe your company must be very short on stock, right?"
"Coincidentally, I have stored a batch of premium loquats, and they are currently sitting in Cold Storage."
