A month later, if you were to ask what the hottest topic among people these days is, it would be the wildly popular release of the TV series “Passion and Confusion” and the sale of the single-person apartments named after the drama.
It must be said that this film directed by Luo Xiao has resonated with many of the “Beijing drifters”. The loneliness of being far away from home, the immense pressure of life experiences, and the endless troubles in life and work, all of which are so familiar and painfully relatable.
As for the single dormitory launched by Ye Lan this time, backed by the TV series, after a reasonable large-scale advertising campaign and with favorable pricing policies, especially the introduction of a new mortgage purchase mode where one can pay 30% as down payment and the remaining amount in monthly installments, this promotion has absolutely delighted the “Beijing drifters” who are financially constrained and under pressure from low salaries, but have long dreamed of having their own home in B City.
The hot sales on the very first day of the launch clearly demonstrated this point. A total of 350 housing units were completely sold out in less than two days. For the following month, there were dozens of people inquiring every day whether there were any other available units.
Seeing the reports brought in by the staff, He Ben and Ye Lan couldn’t help but smile when they saw the intuitive data on it. Although all the buyers opted for the mortgage purchase after the down payment, the down payment money alone has already basically matched their initial investment. That means the remaining 70% is all pure profit!
“Ye Lan, I’m deeply grateful that I invested in this real estate project with you. You’re truly my lucky star!” He Ben’s smile grew even wider as he thought about the dividends he would receive from this sale.
Ye Lan nodded calmly, “Well, you should be thankful to me.”
“…” He Ben was rendered speechless: Wow, do you really have to be so shameless?
“By the way, you’ve seen the sales performance of this type of house.” Ye Lan waved the documents in his hand, “We can continue to build a batch, not too many, just about the same scale as this one.”
“Huh? Aren’t we going to expand?” He Ben furrowed his brow in confusion. “You’ve seen it too, our sales have been really good.”
“Hmm, I know.” Ye Lan nodded. “But you also have to know that not to mention other places, just in B City alone there are over a dozen real estate companies. After they see our situation, they must also start building houses with this type of layout. Right now our supply is less than the demand, which is why this is happening. But once the other companies’ houses are all built, the supply will exceed the demand.”
“I naturally know this as well.” He Ben expressed his understanding, but then creased his brow again. “If that’s the case, do we still need to keep building?”
“Well, you’ve seen it too, even though all our existing housing has already been sold out, there are still endless people coming specifically to look at our houses and wanting to place orders. They even thoughtfully left their contact information. This shows that our market has already opened up a bit, and we have a certain number of potential customers who will become the buyers for our next batch of houses.”
“That’s true.” He Ben replied excitedly.
Ye Len picked up the documents on the desk, reading them as he spoke. “He Ben, you must make sure your subordinates guarantee the quality of the houses. After all, our company is going to establish a foothold in this industry in the future. Quality is the most important thing. Only by strictly controlling the quality can our company operate even better.”
“Okay, I understand.” He Ben nodded in agreement.
After discussing a few other company matters, He Ben turned around and left Ye Lan’s office. After all, he still had other things to attend to. As for Ye Lan, he naturally immersed himself in the next work as well.
Meanwhile, on Yu Jia’s side, he watched the composed and unflustered Luo Xiao being interviewed by numerous reporters on TV. A look of obvious surprise and viciousness appeared in his eyes.
He couldn’t understand why Luo Xiao seemed to have nothing wrong with him at all. He could swear to God that the bug was really placed on Luo Xiao’s body. So by rights, he shouldn’t be looking this normal, right? Could it be that?
“Hmph!” A cold snort suddenly sounded behind Yu Jia.
Upon hearing this familiar voice, his whole body stiffened reflexively. He mechanically turned his head. When he saw the familiar face, he hurriedly stood up from his chair in fright and respectfully lowered his head, a clear sense of unease surging in his downcast eyes.
“Speak, what exactly happened? Why have I lost contact with the poisonous bug?”
“This, this, I, I really don’t know…” Yu Jia stammered nervously. “Does the master have any instructions this time?”
The man in black clothes, who was called the ‘Master’, looked at the TV screen where Luo Xiao was still being interviewed. His face showed an interested expression. But then looking at the unconsciously trembling Yu Jia, the look of disdain in his eyes became more and more obvious. How could the difference between people be so great?
“Alright, I’m too lazy to say more to you, a useless waste.” The man in black waved his hand indifferently, but his eyes were firmly fixed on Luo Xiao on the TV screen. A flash of light quickly flashing across them. “Let’s go.”
“Yes, please go slowly, Master.” Yu Jia bowed respectfully, without anyone noticing the twisted expression on his face.
It’s all because of that Director Luo’s fault! If it weren’t for him, how would he have returned home late that day and encountered this so-called ruthless master? If it weren’t for him, how would he still be living miserably in this single room? If it weren’t for him, how could he have been ‘Master’s’ disdain again. All of this is his fault! It’s all his fault!!
Haha, for this obviously abnormal logical thinking, we ordinary people naturally cannot understand. Of course, as for Luo Xiao, he doesn’t even know about these things. Even if he knew, it would just be a shrug.
After all, a dog can bite a person, but a person cannot bite back because the dog bit them, otherwise what’s the difference between them and beasts?
As for Luo Xiao who was being interviewed live on television, he lightly frowned for a moment when no one was paying attention: What is this all about? How did he suddenly feel like he was being stared at by a fierce viper just now?
He quietly recalled it in his mind and immediately realized the result his master had divined a month ago. But fortunately, this feeling didn’t last long. In about three minutes, he clearly noticed that the uncomfortable gaze had disappeared. He couldn’t help but let out a small sigh of relief in his heart.
Immediately, he thought of the phone call his mother had made early this morning, saying that she was going to come and give him a surprise. He really didn’t know what kind of surprise was waiting for him.
When he returned home in the evening and entered the door, Luo Xiao saw a pair of unfamiliar men’s leather shoes at the entrance. He couldn’t help but secretly raise an eyebrow, thinking that this man might have a lot of time to interact with them in the future.
After changing his shoes, Luo Xiao followed the laughter coming from the living room. When he saw the man who was acting intimately with his mother, he was slightly surprised: Ah? It’s him?
