Chapter 920 Zhao Hui: I admire his ability and integrity
The Galaxy Community is located in the PT area. The location is not very good, but there are good educational resources in the school district. Therefore, the houses were sold quite well just after obtaining the pre-sale license, which brought back a lot of funds for Junlong Real Estate.
When Tian Xiaohui and her mother arrived at the sales office, the popularity of the business was far beyond their imagination.
"Oh, my daughter, I think this house is nice. It's not far from the surrounding school districts, hospitals, and subways." Mother Tian's eyes lit up as she looked at the house model on the sand table.
Tian Xiaohui's eyes also revealed a look of longing. Having lived with her mother in an old and dilapidated tube-shaped building for so many years, she had long wanted to own a house of her own.
"Are you two looking to buy a house? I'm Li Jing, the sales consultant here. Do you need me to introduce you to them?"
Mother Tian rolled her eyes and said, "Xiao Li, how much do you sell your houses for? How much per square meter?"
"Hello, Auntie. Our company's building is called Yinhe Community. The retail price of the small high-rise buildings inside is 68000 per square meter, and the high-rise buildings around it are 62000 per square meter."
Tian Xiaohui was secretly shocked. Although she knew that houses in this area would not be too cheap, the selling price of more than 60,000 yuan per square meter was obviously beyond her psychological expectations.
"Do you have any discounts?" Mother Tian continued to ask.
Li Jing smiled and said, "Auntie, there are no discounts on properties nowadays. Some properties require tea money if you want to buy them. Our company's Yinhe Community property is in great demand. If you act too late, it may be sold out in a few days."
“Really no discount at all?”
"Really not. If you really want to buy it, I can ask the manager to waive the property fee for one year. I'm really sorry for the rest."
"Then let's think about it again."
"Okay, call me anytime if you need anything."
After the salesperson left, Tian Xiaohui whispered, "Mom, this house is so expensive."
"It's okay. Didn't Xiao Qin say on the phone that he could give us a 25% discount? A 100-square-meter high-rise building would only cost a little over 5 million. This price is very suitable. Didn't you hear what the salesperson said? There is no discount at all. You will make a profit if you buy it." Mother Tian urged Tian Xiaohui to call Qin Hao again.
Tian Xiaohui felt that it was not good to trouble Qin Hao in this way, but the temptation of the house was too great.
"Hey, Lao Qin, we're here. Oh, okay, we're right here at the sales office."
Soon, Tian Xiaohui saw Qin Hao and Wu Xiaofei coming together.
"Mr. Wu."
When meeting Wu Xiaofei again, Tian Xiaohui felt somewhat restrained, after all, he was her former boss.
Wu Xiaofei half-jokingly said to Tian Xiaohui, "I was wondering who was so important that Lao Qin asked me for a discount. Turns out it's one of our own."
Tian Xiaohui's cheeks flushed and she eased the embarrassment by introducing him to her mother.
When Tian's mother heard that Wu Xiaofei was the boss of a real estate company, her eyes lit up: "I've heard Xiaohui mention it a long time ago. Mr. Wu is a handsome man. He is indeed extraordinary."
Wu Xiaofei laughed when he heard this: "Just because of what Auntie said, I will definitely give you the lowest discount today."
As they were talking, the group arrived at the VIP lounge in the sales office.
Compared to the noisy outside, the environment in the VIP lounge was much quieter. Wu Xiaofei directly called the sales manager over.
"Manager Lu, please introduce the apartment type to them."
After Manager Lu's explanation, Tian's mother made the decision: "We want the south-facing apartment on the 23th floor of Building 12."
"Auntie, you have a sharp eye. This unit on the 12th floor is the best-selling unit here. If Mr. Wu hadn't asked us to keep a few units, they would have been sold out by now."
Tian Xiaohui was grateful when she heard this: "Thank you, Mr. Wu."
"Don't thank me, thank Lao Qin instead. I was only going to give out one set, but he insisted on asking me for two sets." Wu Xiaofei half-jokingly said to Qin Hao, "Will you charge me less commission later?"
"Then I won't buy the house. The house I'm renting now is fine anyway." Qin Hao scolded with a smile.
"Okay, I'm being nosy. Two sets is fine. Anyway, you have to find a chance to repay me for this favor later."
Tian Xiaohui watched the two of them joking with each other and couldn't help but feel a little confused. Qin Hao and Wu Xiaofei were introduced by her, so how come they looked like old friends?
"Auntie, let's go check out the house first, so we won't be cheated by some unscrupulous developers. It's better to see it with your own eyes."
Facing Qin Hao's teasing, Wu Xiaofei directly called Manager Lu to lead the way. The group came to the community. Although the area of the community was not too large, the distance between the buildings, the reserved green facilities, and the design of separating people and vehicles made Tian Xiaohui and her daughter very satisfied.
After arriving at Building 23 and taking a look at it, Tian's mother couldn't wait to ask, "Mr. Wu, what's the lowest discount you just mentioned?"
"Originally the company stipulated that the minimum discount was 25%. For Lao Qin's sake, how about 30% off? Is Auntie satisfied?"
"I'm satisfied, very satisfied. Then, Mr. Wu, should we pay a deposit first?" Mother Tian was afraid that the opportunity would fly away.
Manager Lu tactfully led Mrs. Tian to the sales office to pay the money, while Wu Xiaofei patted Qin Hao on the shoulder and said, "How about it? Which floor do you like?"
“A large flat on the 16th floor.”
"That's not cheap. Even at 30% off it would still cost more than 9 million."
"Why, are you afraid I can't pay?"
"That's not the case. If you don't have enough money, I'll lend it to you first."
"No need, I can still afford the down payment."
Before, Qin Hao sold out his U.S. stocks and converted them into RMB, and he had about 1500 million in cash. He and Su Jianren invested million in Henghui Technology, and he still had million in his hand, which was definitely enough to pay the down payment.
When Qin Hao and Wu Xiaofei arrived at the sales office, Mother Tian had already paid the deposit, thus securing the house.
When she saw that Qin Hao directly paid a down payment of 320 million to buy the large flat, the expression on Tian's mother's face became very complicated, and surprise, annoyance, and depression seemed to be visible on her face.
Tian Xiaohui was not too surprised. After all, Qin Hao had made one million in a month from stock trading. This amount of money was definitely nothing to him.
"Lao Qin, thank you so much today"
Before Tian Xiaohui could finish her words, Qin Hao raised his hand to interrupt her: "Don't be polite, just help me keep an eye on Henghui Technology."
"Okay." Tian Xiaohui agreed readily. The position of Financial Director of Henghui Technology was originally obtained for her by Qin Hao. If there was a chance, she would definitely repay this favor.
On the other hand, after Tao Wuji arrived at Chongming Island, he wanted to promote the Binjiang Branch's agricultural loan. However, local grape farmers were not interested in it. According to Liu Zhancheng, a technician at the Agricultural Technology Station, two banks had tried to mobilize them before, but both ended in failure. He advised Tao Wuji to give up as soon as possible.
However, Tao Wuji just didn't believe it. He pretended to be a grape merchant and communicated with the villagers. However, he was discovered by the fruit farmer Uncle Damao, and the villagers dispersed.
Devastated, Tao Wuji could only sit in the yard at night and stare at the moon.
Just when Tao Wuji was feeling frustrated, his cell phone rang. He saw that it was a video call from Tian Xiaohui. He immediately perked up and answered the call with great interest.
However, Tian Xiaohui's words instantly made Tao Wuji feel disappointed.
"Tao Wuji, I have good news for you. My mother and I went to look at a house today and have paid the deposit."
Tao Wuji's smile froze: "Why are you in such a hurry to pay the deposit?"
"We have to be anxious. The longer the night, the more trouble we may have. Let me tell you, this house is very good. The location and environment are very good. The most important thing is that the discount is high. Do you know how much discount you can give us?" Tian Xiaohui said excitedly, not noticing Tao Wuji's abnormality at all.
"How much discount?"
"30% off, do you know how much money you saved? Over a million dollars."
Tao Wuji frowned upon hearing this: "So much less? Is Xiaohui's house reliable?"
"It's reliable, of course it's reliable. This is the project of my previous company, Junlong Real Estate. It's very popular now."
Seeing her daughter video chatting with Tao Wuji, Tian's mother couldn't help but complain: "Not only does she not spend a penny, but she is also suspicious of this and that all day long. She is the only one who is smart, and everyone else is stupid."
Tao Wuji was too embarrassed to save face and could only pretend he didn't hear it.
"Xiaohui, you are no longer an employee of Junlong Real Estate, why are they still giving you such a low discount?"
"Even employees of Junlong Real Estate can only get a maximum of 20% discount. The 30% discount was given entirely because of Lao Qin's face. He has a good relationship with Mr. Xiao Wu, so he helped me get a 30% discount." Tian Xiaohui explained.
Tao Wuji asked suspiciously: "When did Lao Qin get to know your former boss? I remember that Junlong Real Estate seemed to have a trust project recently."
Tian Xiaohui came to her senses and said unhappily, "Tao Wuji, please stop being suspicious. Even if Junlong Real Estate has business dealings with your bank, isn't that normal? What are you suspicious about? Is there always a transfer of benefits between Lao Qin and Xiao Wu?"
"No, Xiaohui, listen to me. There is a document from above that controls loans to real estate companies. Junlong Real Estate is not on the whitelist, so it stands to reason that it cannot be loaned money."
Tao Wuji paused and said, "Xiaohui, don't buy your house yet. Let me get to know the situation with Lao Qin first."
After saying that, Tao Wuji hung up the video call.
Tian Xiaohui was extremely depressed, and Tian's mother was even more furious.
"Is your boyfriend sick? He's not a policeman, so he looks like a thief to everyone. People bribe by giving away houses, right? Is it necessary to spend real money to buy one like us? It's fine if you don't spend a penny and just sit back and enjoy the benefits, but you're still suspicious of this and that. You're just bored."
At the same time, Qin Hao received a call from Tao Wuji.
"Lao Qin, did you go to buy a house with Xiaohui today?"
"Well, what happened?"
Tao Wuji said earnestly: "Lao Qin, a 30% discount is obviously lower than the market level. You will make a mistake if you do this."
"You mean, I'm taking bribes?" Qin Hao asked back.
"Old Qin, a thousand-mile embankment is destroyed by an ant hole."
Before Tao Wuji could finish his words, Qin Hao said impatiently: "Tao Wuji, first of all, don't make conclusions about things you don't understand. Real estate companies often keep some houses with good layouts to maintain customer relationships. The 30% discount is only lower than the market price, but not lower than the internal price. Many big customers can get such discounts. If you don't believe me, you can go and investigate."
"Secondly, if you suspect that I accepted Junlong Real Estate's bribes and approved Junlong Real Estate's Changlong project, you can report me to the audit department. I am willing to accept any investigation by the organization."
Tao Wuji was choked and speechless. After a long while, his tone softened: "Lao Qin, I don't suspect you of taking bribes. I just want to remind you that there is no free lunch in the world."
"I think I should know this better than you. When it comes to other people's privacy, I can only tell you that the reason why Wu Xiaofei gave me such a low discount is because of his efforts today. I will help him earn it back tenfold or a hundredfold in the future." Qin Hao was too lazy to talk nonsense with him after he finished speaking and hung up the phone directly.
"Earn it back ten or a hundred times?" Tao Wuji repeated this sentence over and over again. In his opinion, the only way Qin Hao could help Wu Xiaofei make money was by taking advantage of his position.
"No, I can't just watch Lao Qin fall into depravity."
So, Tao Wuji called Zhao Hui and gave him a brief report on the matter.
Zhao Hui also frowned when he heard this: "Who else have you told about Xiao Tao?"
"No more, I'll report to you alone."
"Okay, don't say anything for now. I'll find out the situation."
After hanging up the phone, Zhao Hui called Qin Hao. Qin Hao did not hide anything and told him about helping Wu Xiaofei trade stocks.
Zhao Hui then realized that it was a misunderstanding, but Qin Hao advised him not to tell Tao Wuji about Qin Hao helping Wu Xiaofei trade stocks.
"why?"
"On the one hand, Wu Xiaofei is now my client. I cannot disclose his privacy without his permission. On the other hand, I also want to see if Tao Wuji will report me to the audit department."
Zhao Hui's mind moved: "Are you planning to test Xiao Tao?"
"Zhao Xing, I know you want to promote Tao Wuji, but before you promote him, you should at least know whether he is worthy of promotion."
Zhao Hui frowned: "I promoted Tao Wuji because of his ability and integrity."
"What if one day, his integrity becomes a sharp arrow shot at us?" Qin Hao said in a serious tone.
"You mean"
"Zhao Xing, I worked with Tao Wuji for four years in college, and for three years including internship. I know him better than you do. He is a person who cannot tolerate even a grain of sand in his eyes, especially those who are close to him. I remember Su Xing once said that Dai Xing taught him that those who work in banks must be nine good and one evil. No one can be 100% compliant from beginning to end. I don't think you would want the person you promoted to ruin the career you have fought for all your life, right?"
After Qin Hao finished speaking, Zhao Hui fell silent, and it took a long time before he spoke.
"Okay, then I won't tell him yet. But if Xiao Tao can complete the task of this Huinong loan, I will still promote him."
