Chapter 353 The Real Big Shot
August 6, 2023, Sunday, cloudy to thundery showers, 23~30℃.
In the early morning, Tang and Song Dynasties got up early.
Put on a suit of sportswear and start jogging along the unclean road in the town.
Due to the bad weather, it was not completely bright at this time, and there was almost no one on the road.
Only the occasional electric cars and cars passed by.
After completing his daily aerobic exercise, Tang Song simply took a cold shower and went into the kitchen.
Cook millet porridge, fry two fresh vegetables, and spread out a few egg pancakes.
When Xu Feng walked out of the bedroom, she saw the steaming breakfast on the table and her son calling her to eat with a smile.
I was instantly moved.
During the meal, Xu Feng took out his mobile phone and began to introduce Tang Song to the real estate for sale in the county.
“The best and most popular communities in our county now are Fengzeyuan and Yunjingtai, which have their own fine decoration. The environment is very good, and it is like a park inside. Fengzeyuan is on the edge of the East Ring Road, next to the highway, and it is convenient for you to go back and forth from Yancheng..."
Nowadays, when young people in rural areas get married, a house in the city is a must.
Neighbors and relatives often discuss houses.
Xu Feng also knows a lot about the real estate information in the county. In addition, he checked a lot of information last night, so he can speak clearly and clearly.
Houses in small counties, especially those in high-end school districts with such good locations, have a very good value retention rate and can be regarded as an investment and not a waste of money.
After hearing what his mother had said, Tang Song said decisively: "Fengzeyuan is in a remote location and has insufficient supporting facilities. The house is mainly for you and my dad to live in. Let's buy a livelier one. Yunjing Terrace is next to the hospital and shopping mall, and they are all bungalows, which is quite suitable."
"Then let's go see Yunjing Terrace first!" Xu Feng's face was full of anticipation.
A relative got married before, and the new house was in Yunjing Terrace. She visited it several times.
The shock and envy at that time are still fresh in my memory.
After deciding which property to go to, Tang Jianying said: "We have a relative who works in a government agency and knows many leaders of developers. I heard that I can get internal preferential prices, which are much cheaper than outside. I'll call and ask."
After finishing speaking, Tang Jianying picked up the phone and looked through the address book, found a contact and dialed it.
The phone rang for a while and was finally answered.
Tang Jianying cleared her throat, put the receiver close to her ear, and said with a smile: "Hey, have you eaten? Maolin."
"How are you lately? Work is going well, right? ? ”
“This is not how our family plans to buy a house in the county. I want to ask you if we can get a preferential price. ”
“ The Yunjingtai community next to Hualian. "
"Hey, you don't know what's going on with your sister-in-law. We can't afford such an expensive house. This is not in Yan. I am a live broadcast e-commerce business. I have made some money and plan to buy a house here. ”
“Okay, thank you for your hard work. I will wait for your news!”
After hanging up the phone, Tang Jianying breathed a sigh of relief and smiled at his son: "Your Uncle Maolin said it should be fine. He will contact me and call you back later."
Then, Tang Jianying told the other party's situation.
He is the son of Uncle Tang and Song Dynasty. He is a few years younger than Tang Jianying. He currently works in the County Housing and Urban-Rural Development Bureau and is a leader. He is considered the most well-connected figure in their family.
Even the relatives of Uncle Tang and Song Dynasty are very respectable in the village.
When worshiping ancestors during the Chinese New Year, the family is in charge of the overall situation, and it is very popular among family members.
This is how it is in rural areas. When doing anything, the first thing that comes to mind is the relationship.
Characters who control relationships, or who can provide direct benefits to others, are often highly respected.
Although they would be envious and fawning over people who were simply rich like Tang and Song Dynasty, if it could not have an impact on them in the future, it would only be superficial.
Some people with dark minds may even make up bad things behind their backs.
…
After breakfast, the three of them set out from the town to visit their grandparents who lived in the village during the Tang and Song Dynasties.
Two old people live in the north end of the village.
The house is the family’s old house. It is very dilapidated and has been thirty or forty years old.
The wall peeling off was serious, the house was damp and stuffy, and the living environment was very bad.
Fortunately, my grandparents are in good health. They keep more than a dozen old hens at home and often work in the fields.
Seeing the brand-new Tang and Song Dynasty, the elegant Mercedes-Benz, as well as a whole box of Moutai wine and large and small packages of gifts, the two old men held Tang Song and sighed for a while.
They are all ordinary rural people without much knowledge. Seeing that their grandson is living so prosperously now makes them happy from the bottom of their hearts.
Grandma in the Tang and Song Dynasties even lit a few sticks of incense and worshiped all the gods in the family.
It is said that she sincerely makes a wish every New Year, and this time she finally got it.
I chatted with my grandparents for a long time.
Tang Song said directly: "Mom and Dad, why don't we buy two houses and bring the grandparents over so that you can take care of them more conveniently."
Xu Feng and Tang Jianying looked at each other with hesitation.
"No, no, no, what are you spending this money for!" Grandpa waved his hand quickly and said: "We are used to living here. We usually raise chickens, grow vegetables, and chat with the old neighbors. How nice!"
Grandma also advised: "Yes, Xiao Song, it's not easy for you to make money. You should find a partner soon and get married."
The main reason is that they don't want Tang Song to spend so much money, and Tang Jianying is not the only son in the family, there are two younger brothers.
It would be unfair to ask Jianying’s family to help them buy a new house in the county.
If the other two sons come up with the idea of this apartment in the future, it will really be a mess.
They have seen a lot of similar things over the years.
Tang Song pondered for a moment and said: "Then give this place a good overhaul. You are getting older, and you have to change to a better living environment for your health."
With his persistence, the final matter was settled with his advice.
Grandma held Tang Song’s hand and shed tears.
At 10 o’clock in the morning, the three of them got into the car and left the old rural house.
Xu Feng patted her husband's arm and urged: "Jianying, call Maolin again and ask him about the internal price. He said he would reply in a while, but it has been almost two hours."
Tang Jianying nodded and dialed again.
“Hey, Maolin.”
“I’m not in a hurry, I’m not in a hurry, it’s just the weekend, my kids are at home, I’m thinking of going over to look at the house today, and I’ll make a decision as soon as I can make a decision.”
“Oh, that’s okay, right? ? Okay, okay! Let's go to the sales department now."
"By the way, Maolin, don't cook at home, call Qiaoling, let's go to the restaurant to have a meal." Let’s have a few drinks at noon!”
“Okay, you go ahead, we’ll contact you when we arrive later”
Hang up the phone. , Tang Jianying said: "Maolin asked us to go to the sales department to see the house and negotiate the price first. After the negotiation is completed, he will come forward and tell the leaders of the developer that he can make it cheaper than ours."
"That's great!" Xu Fengxi said with a smile: "Let's go directly to see the house! Come on, son, I'll guide you."
"Okay." Tang Song nodded with a smile. Naturally, with his current worth, he didn't care much about this discount, but for parents, it would definitely be happier to be able to save some money through their own connections.
Soon, the car turned a corner and drove towards the county seat.
The town where Tang and Song’s family is located is very close to the county seat, with a straight-line distance of only 3 kilometers.
…
More than ten minutes later, the car arrived at the Yunjingtai sales department.
This is an independent two-story building located in the northeast corner of the community, with luxurious and exquisite decoration.
There is a large lawn outside and a medium-sized garden landscape, which looks very high-end.
Walking into the bright and transparent glass revolving door, a smiling salesperson quickly greeted him.
To be able to work as a salesperson in such a popular high-end real estate, your quality and vision are naturally good.
Seeing the clothes and temperament of Tang and Song Dynasties, the expression on his face became more vivid and enthusiastic.
It’s getting hot water and serving the fruit plate.
After briefly chatting about their home purchase needs, the three of them, led by the salesperson, first walked around the community, and then visited several houses of different types.
It has good greening, low floor area ratio, diversion of people and vehicles, special electric carport, complete supporting facilities, and standardized property management...
The couple Tang Jianying and Xu Feng became more and more satisfied as they looked at it. They felt that this community was really impeccable.
The only problem may be that it is difficult to choose a house.
It has been more than half a year since the housing was handed over in the community. The best floors and building numbers have all been sold out, and the remaining ones have more or less minor problems.
After discussing for a while, and then going to see it on the spot, the three of them finally selected a set that they were relatively satisfied with.
143-square-meter three-bedroom apartment with 3 floors, not fully facing the street.
Comes with fine decoration, the price is 8400/㎡.
There is a very strong promotion right now, and the total house payment after the discount is 1.18 million.
If it is the full payment, you can get an additional discount of 30,000, which is 1.15 million.
Hearing this number, both Xu Feng and Tang Jianying clenched their fists.
1.15 million! They had never seen so much money in their lives.
If they bought it for their son, it might be better.
Now that it is my son who is buying it for them, I feel a little flustered and uneasy.
Xu Feng whispered: "Can we get a better discount? We sincerely want it. If it is suitable, we can make a decision soon!"
"This... I have given us the biggest discount within my ability. I really can't do it anymore." The salesperson hesitated for a while. Zhen said: "How about this? I'll apply to the supervisor to see if we can be exempted from property fees for a few years."
"Okay! Then I'll trouble you to ask."
"Okay, please wait a moment." The salesman bowed politely and walked quickly towards the office.
Tang Jianying looked at the time and said, "Why hasn't Maolin come yet? I'm going to make a call."
After speaking, she raised her cell phone and dialed Tang Maolin's number, whispered a few words and hung up.
“He said let us wait a few more minutes and we will be here soon.”
“That’s good.” Xu Feng breathed a sigh of relief and turned to murmur to Tang Song.
Thinking about the scene of living here in the future.
After waiting for about ten minutes, I saw that Tang Maolin had not arrived yet.
Xu Feng was a little anxious, so she directly picked up Tang Jianying's cell phone and dialed. They had said hello early in the morning, and they had been at the sales office for an hour, but the other party didn't show up.
The phone rang a few times and then hung up.
"Hey, why don't you answer the phone? I'm so anxious. What do you mean?" Xu Feng is not a gentle person, and his tone of voice is a bit urgent.
Immediately afterwards, a sharp middle-aged female voice came from the door: "Sister-in-law, you have such a bad temper. We hurried over to help, why are we still behind?"
Tang Song frowned slightly, raised his head and saw a middle-aged man and woman walking this way.
The man is his uncle Tang Maolin, who is in his 40s, well-dressed and looks like a leader.
The woman is his daughter-in-law Li Qiaoling, she is smart-looking and has curly hair.
I have seen it many times in the village before.
Xu Feng smiled and said with a somewhat embarrassed expression: "Maolin, Qiaoling, you are here, you are just waiting impatiently, there is no other meaning."
Tang Jianying also followed suit and smoothed things over: "It's almost noon, and I was thinking of inviting you to have a meal at the Huajing Hotel next door, but I'm afraid it's too late and I won't have a seat."
Li Qiaoling said with a smile: "You really don’t have to worry about this. Our Maolin knows the boss of Huajing, so it’s no problem to get a reserved private room."
"Haha, indeed I'm just worried." Tang Jianying said enthusiastically: "Come on, let's sit down and chat." Listening to their chat, Tang Song felt a little uncomfortable, feeling that these two had a big family tree.
But after all, the other person is the elder of the family, and his parents took the initiative to ask for help, so he couldn’t say anything.
He took the initiative to say hello: "Uncle Maolin, Aunt Qiaoling."
Noticing the young man sitting on the sofa, Tang Maolin raised his eyebrows, "Jianying, is this your son Tang Song? Compared with the New Year period, the changes are not small. I heard that you started a business and made money. You are really young and promising."
Hearing the other party praising her son, Tang Jianying showed a big smile on her face, "Well, I was a little fat before, but now I have lost weight and am energetic."
Li Qiaoling saw a look of surprise on her face when she saw the handsome young man sitting there.
They return to the village every year during the Chinese New Year and have seen Tang and Song Dynasties many times, but they are far from so outstanding.
And combined with the fact that he wants to buy a house in Yunjingtai, it shows that the economic conditions are also very good.
Absolutely a high-quality object!
Her eyes lit up, and she asked with a smile: "Xiao Song, do you have a partner? Would you like my aunt to introduce you to someone? She is my niece, who works in the system, and she looks very cool."
Tang Song looked at his aunt's appearance, and shook his head directly: "No. Yes, thank you Aunt Qiaoling for your kindness. "
"Haha, that's okay." Li Qiaoling curled her lips and said in a joking tone: "Xiao Song, you were a little rude just now. You didn't get up when you saw us coming over. If you are a boss, you can't forget that we are not relatives."
After a brief contact, she felt that this nephew was a bit high-spirited, which made her very uncomfortable as she was used to being respected and sought after by her relatives.
I can’t help but want to type a few words.
Seeing Li Qiaoling talking about her son like this, Xu Feng looked a little unhappy.
"Okay, okay, let's not talk about this anymore. We are all family members. There is no need to worry about it. Let's do business first." Tang Maolin took out his mobile phone, waved to the salesman standing next to him, found the contact person and dialed it.
The phone rang for a while before it was answered.
Tang Maolin showed a warm smile on his face, "Hey, Mr. Wang, are you busy now?"
"Well, it's what I told you on WeChat this morning."
"Okay, that's troublesome."
Tang Maolin handed the phone to the male salesman next to him, "Your phone number is Mr. Wang's."
The salesman hurriedly He took it and said in a clear and loud tone: "Hello, Mr. Wang, I'm Xiao Lin from the sales department."
"Yeah, I understand."
"Okay, don't worry, I understand."
After just saying a few words, the phone was hung up.
Sales Xiaolin handed the phone back and smiled enthusiastically: "Our boss Wang said that on the basis of all the previous discounts, we can get another 100 yuan per square meter discount, which is equivalent to a reduction of 15,000 yuan in the total price. This price is already very suitable!"
Although the discount was smaller than expected, Tang Jianying and Xu Feng were still sincerely grateful.
"Okay, we are all family members, don't be so polite." Tang Maolin waved his hand, "The developer of Yunjingtai is Handing Group. This king always comes from Yancheng and is not a local, otherwise it would be cheaper."
Hearing the words "Handing Group", Tang Song's eyebrows raised slightly. He really didn't pay attention to the name of the developer before.
I took out my mobile phone and searched, and sure enough I saw "Handing Real Estate Development Co., Ltd."
As a well-known local real estate developer in Yan Province, Handing has businesses all over the province, and Yunjingtai is one of them.
Xie Yue often talks to him about the short drama base recently, and the relationship between the two is not bad.
If it was just for this discount in housing prices, there was no need for Tang and Song to find him. After all, favors are much more expensive than money.
But he knows that many developers will reserve a few houses with the best lighting, the best floors, and the best floor plans in their projects.
It was either directly booked by the company’s senior management, or it was reserved to establish relationships.
In order to make his parents’ stay more comfortable, he didn’t mind taking a detour.
At this moment, someone tapped me on the shoulder.
Tang Song raised his head and saw Tang Maolin's serious face.
"Xiao Song, we are chatting right now, don't just lower your head and play with your mobile phone."
He has been in the government agency for a long time, and with the elders in charge of the family, he naturally has an oppressive aura.
Actually, I don’t have any ill intentions towards the younger generation of the Tang and Song family, I just want to give them a heads up and educate them.
Tang Song nodded calmly, "I know Uncle Maolin because I heard you say that the developer was Handing Group, so I checked it out.
I have a friend in Handing Group. I am not particularly satisfied with the house I have chosen. I called him and asked him if he could help me change it to one with a prime floor and not facing the street."
Tang Maolin was startled, and laughed and said: "I can't tell, Xiao Song, you have quite a lot of connections. But Handing Group is such a big business, and each area has a corresponding person in charge, so it's useless even if you know the leader of any department."
"Yes, there are a lot of twists and turns here." Li Qiaoling also joked.
Tang Song smiled and said nothing more. He took out his mobile phone and dialed Xie Yue's number.
The phone rang twice and was quickly connected.
They exchanged a few pleasantries.
The Tang and Song Dynasties directly stated their intention.
“Well, it’s Yunjingtai Community in Jing County, Quancheng.”
“Okay, then I’ll wait for your news, bye.”
Hang up After picking up the phone, Tang Songchao's parents smiled and said, "I've already told him, so there should be no problem."
Hearing this, Xu Feng and Tang Jianying instantly smiled in surprise, "That's good, that's good!"
They are very satisfied with the community because they bought it late and there is no problem.
After all, you are going to live here for decades, so naturally the more satisfying you are, the better.
Tang Maolin’s brows twitched and his eyes flickered.
Tang and Song’s attitude and tone were obviously not joking.
He works in the Ministry of Housing and Urban-Rural Development, so he naturally knows that such properties have reserved rooms.
But his position is not high. Although he knows some middle-level leaders of developers, the relationship is not close.
Even if you ask for it shamelessly, people will definitely pass it by.
A few minutes passed.
“Ding-ding-ding--” Tang Song’s cell phone suddenly rang.
Answer the phone, "Hello, hello."
"Well, I am Tang Song."
"Okay Manager Wang, I understand, bye."
Hearing the title "Manager Wang", Tang Maolin's heart skipped a beat and he asked softly: "Tang Song, who called you just now?"
"Wang Yanbin, the manager of the sales department."
"Um...it's Mr. Wang..." Tang Maolin grinned and looked at Tang Song with an incredulous look, "This..."
Wang Yanbin is not only the sales manager of Yunjingtai, but also the regional head of Handing Group in Jing County.
A single phone call in the Tang and Song Dynasties would allow Wang Yanbin to proactively contact him within a few minutes. The energy behind this was terrifying.
At this moment, "dong dong dong -" rapid footsteps approached.
Immediately afterwards, a middle-aged man in a suit and leather shoes trotted over.
Looking at them, he asked nervously: "Who is Mr. Tang, Song and Tang?"
"Hello, it's me." Tang Song stood up with a smile.
"Hello, Mr. Tang!" The middle-aged man bent slightly and said: "I am the head of the sales department, Sun Qiwen. Our boss, Mr. Wang, is on the way here and will be at our sales department in a moment. If it is convenient for you now, I will take you to 8 Take a look at Building No. 4. There is a 5-story four-bedroom apartment with an area of 160 square meters. It has a square shape and excellent lighting. " Hearing this, Tang Jianying and Xu Feng were inexplicably surprised and quickly stood up from the sofa.
Building No. 8 is located in the center of the community, with no obstruction in front. It is the king of buildings in the community.
Sales Xiaolin said before when he took them to the community that the houses there were sold out when they first opened.
“Okay, then I’ll trouble your supervisor Sun.”
"Mr. Tang, you are too polite!" Sun Qiwen took a deep breath and asked anxiously: "One more thing, Mr. Zhao from the Quancheng branch of the group wants to treat you to a meal. I wonder if it is inconvenient for you?"
Tang Song raised his eyebrows, knowing that it must be arranged by Xie Yue.
After thinking for a moment, he said calmly: "Let him contact me tomorrow or the day after tomorrow."
"Okay, thank you, Mr. Tang!" Sun Qiwen nodded with a flushed face and followed Tang Song cautiously.
Looking at this incredible scene in front of them, Tang Jianying and Xu Feng behind were stunned.
Why do you feel that your son seems to have more reputation than Maolin? And it’s much bigger!
This attitude can no longer be called friendly, it is simply groveling!
Tang Maolin hissed and his expression changed.
He touched his daughter-in-law Li Qiaoling, who was still in a daze, and whispered: "Follow me quickly! Say more nice things later!"
After that, he trotted towards the door.
Mr. Zhao from Quancheng Branch of Handing Group? Isn't that General Manager Zhao Mingbo?
He is considered a mid- to high-level manager in Handing Group, yet he took the initiative to invite Tang and Song to dinner, and he was so cautious.
Is their family going to have a real big shot?
