How could someone who's been reborn be optimized?

Chapter 102: Driven by Profit

At the door of the small conference room, Chen Yuanzhou and Zhang Wang exchanged a glance.

A single glance was enough for the two to exchange information. Seeing that both were calm in each other's eyes, it should be unrelated to Chen Yuanzhou's poaching of their partner.

As for the specifics, we'll only know once Wang Ping speaks up.

"Mr. Wang~"

The two greeted each other in unison.

Wang Ping also gave a friendly smile: "Sit down."

The two nodded and sat down, and Lou Chunhua then closed the door behind them.

"What happened to them?" Li Jing asked the others in a low voice from outside the door. "Do you know?"

Wu Ningfeng frowned and shook his head.

Xu Chuanchuan was also puzzled. Qinchun Jiayuan store shouldn't have done anything to attract attention recently, right?

"Is it about Xiao Chen speculating on real estate?" Li Jing continued to guess.

For real estate agencies, it is quite common for employees from well-off families to speculate on real estate themselves.

There are even a very small number of brokers who choose to become brokers not so much to work, but rather to obtain first-hand market information.

The only difference is that Chen Yuanzhou's property speculation this time has caused quite a stir.

After all, Zhang Wang was a veteran with extensive connections within the company, especially in the western region. He quickly mobilized a large number of store managers and agents for Chen Yuanzhou.

It's impossible to keep such a large-scale operation a secret, so it's normal for the leadership to find out.

To put it bluntly, this kind of behavior disrupts the company's normal order and involves doing private work in violation of regulations, which is punishable.

However, as long as Wang Ping doesn't bring these things up, the big issues can be turned into small ones, and the small issues can be resolved peacefully.

After hearing what Li Jing said, everyone understood the reasoning behind it, but there was nothing they could do to help now, so they could only wait anxiously.

In the conference room, the two of them breathed a sigh of relief when they saw Wang Ping's smile after they sat down.

Obviously, being greeted with a smile is at least not a bad thing.

Wang Ping laughed and said, "Chen Yuanzhou, you've made quite a stir this time. Not only me, but even President Zhao knows about it."

General Manager Zhao? Zhao Qiangang?

Chen Yuanzhou quickly matched the name with the one in his memory.

Zhao Qiangang is the general manager of Zhuowu Company. It was under his leadership that Zhuowu Company was able to rise in the fiercely competitive market in the following years and become the leader in the real estate brokerage industry in Jiangcheng City, with a market share that even reached 70% at some point!

Although it was only a short period of time, it was enough to illustrate the point, and after that, Zhuowu Company's market share never fell below 50%.

This demonstrates Zhao Qiangang's exceptional abilities!

However, Chen Yuanzhou didn't quite understand why Wang Ping brought up Zhao Qiangang at this time.

"Haha~" He laughed awkwardly, "Mr. Wang, is my real estate speculation affecting the company?"

At this moment, Lou Chunhua said seriously, "What did you say? Still laughing~ Speculating on houses is fine, but you also asked Zhang Wang to help you get other colleagues to sell houses, which is definitely a violation of company rules."

"..." Chen Yuanzhou shrugged, indicating his innocence: "I don't really know either. I just asked everyone for help, and I did get a bonus, right?"

After Lou Chunhua finished playing the bad cop, Wang Ping continued playing the good cop, saying, "Alright, alright~ Although it's against the rules, it's not a big deal."

At times like this, that's all she could say.

After all, based on what she knew, Chen Yuanzhou must have made a lot of money from his investment in Zijinyuan.

If she still wants to maintain her dominance, Chen Yuanzhou might just resign, and there's nothing she can do about it.

Moreover, she came with a purpose today.

Thinking of this, Wang Ping then asked, "Xiao Chen, could you tell me the details of your recent property speculation? I heard you bought 18 houses at once. Such a large quantity, you must know the project manager at Zijinyuan, right?"

"Wang Yuzhe?" Chen Yuanzhou asked in return.

Upon hearing the name, Wang Ping smiled.

As expected, Chen Yuanzhou recognized the other party.

"That's right, it's him." Wang Ping continued, "You two should be quite familiar with each other, right? Could you help me invite him to have dinner together?"

Upon hearing this, Chen Yuanzhou's mind raced.

Why did Wang Ping want to meet Wang Yuzhe?

If her goal was also to speculate on real estate, then she should have approached me privately.

The fact that they're making such a big show of it, acting like it's a business matter, clearly means it's not a private matter. So what are Zhuowu Company thinking?

Chen Yuanzhou thought about it carefully and suddenly remembered that in early 2009, Zhuowu Company and Jindi Group reached a cooperation agreement to establish a primary business division, pioneering the linkage between primary and secondary markets in Jiangcheng City.

So it seems that Zhuowu Company was actually contacting various developers and pushing forward this plan as early as the end of 2008?

The so-called "first-hand and second-hand linkage" simply means that real estate agencies also participate in the sales of new properties.

Initially, the real estate sales industry was unrelated. The secondary market was dominated by individual real estate agencies, while the primary market consisted of developers' own sales teams plus some sales agencies.

However, during market downturns, in order to expand their business and increase revenue, real estate agencies also participate in the sale of new properties, and then the developers settle commissions with the agencies.

However, such collaboration was not very close during this period. After all, it was a period of market upturn, and new properties were generally easy to sell. Therefore, only some small developers or slow-selling projects that did not have sales capabilities chose to cooperate.

It wasn't until after 2010, when real estate policies were introduced, purchase and loan restrictions were implemented, and the market experienced another downturn, that such cooperation began to become closer among new property developers in order to increase sales.

After realizing this, Chen Yuanzhou looked troubled and said, "President Wang, I am just a customer of Zijinyuan, and I only know Wang Yuzhe. It may be difficult to arrange a meeting."

"Is that so?" Wang Ping's face clearly showed some disappointment.

Just as Chen Yuanzhou predicted, Zhuowu Company was already actively responding to the poor market conditions before the four trillion yuan stimulus plan was introduced.

So although the market is sure to improve, the established plans have not been halted, but are being continued.

Given the current situation, all senior executives of the company must become salespeople, finding ways to contact developers and specific project managers to secure projects and seek cooperation.

On the day the Zijinyuan school district was confirmed, Wang Ping contacted Wang Yuzhe through the company, but he had no intention of cooperating.

Later, I heard that Chen Yuanzhou was speculating in real estate in Zijinyuan, so I came here today to ask him in person and try to get closer to him from another angle.

Chen Yuanzhou thought for a moment, then tentatively asked, "Mr. Wang, is there something you need from Wang Yuzhe?"

"~~~" Wang Ping pondered for a moment and then said, "There's nothing wrong with telling you. The company has set up a business unit that needs to handle first-hand projects."

Upon hearing this, Chen Yuanzhou basically understood the situation.

Since a new business unit has been established, it must be responsible for all projects in the city. In this way, it is equivalent to creating another independent region from the original four major regions of the east, west, south and north.

If these performance results could be attributed to them, the directors' income would probably double!

Alternatively, each regional director might need to find their own way to connect with primary projects within their jurisdiction.

It seems that Wang Ping came to see me today specifically because she was driven by self-interest.

Chen Yuanzhou began to wonder if there was any profit to be made in this...
