Protagonist:
Li Xiulan
The time for the bet was chosen to be the week when Spring City Garden opened for sales during National Day.
During the seven-day National Day holiday, whoever sold more Spring City Garden houses would be the winner.
The two of them thus drafted a betting agreement, both sides signed their names on it, and pressed their fingerprints.
Liu Mei Qi was very confident; although under Wang Erhai's strong insistence, the clauses on the betting agreement explicitly stipulated that both teams must have the same number of people, and the one with higher sales volume would win.
But Liu Mei Qi still verbally promised Wang Erhai repeatedly that her team only needed five people, and they would be five newcomers at that; she would not recruit experienced veterans to bet against Wang Erhai, otherwise that would be too much bullying of Wang Erhai.
As for sales volume, she still felt that as long as Wang Erhai's team could reach ninety percent of her team's volume, that would count as Wang Erhai winning.
Wang Erhai was amused to anger by Liu Mei Qi's smug look:
"Who gave you such confidence? Do you look down on me this much? I've been in the real estate brokerage business for so long, after all!"
Liu Mei Qi, however, smiled and said:
"It's not that I look down on you, but your set of management philosophy might still get a bit of soup in a big city like Guangzhou, but in our small county town, it simply won't work at all."
Seeing Liu Mei Qi so inexplicably confident, Wang Erhai thought to himself: Could Liu Mei Qi be planning to play some dirty tricks?
So he said:
"I need to add a clause to the betting agreement: we can only compete fairly, neither side can play dirty tricks against the other; whoever secretly stirs up trouble will immediately be judged the loser. What do you think?"
Liu Mei Qi actually agreed without even thinking:
"Absolutely no problem; I never even thought about stirring up trouble secretly!"
Just like that, the two signed the betting agreement.
Liu Mei Qi began recruiting employees for her sales squad.
The recruitment information she sent out was exactly as she had told Wang Erhai before — no mention of a base salary of 1,800 yuan, only high commissions, to attract capable talent; in reality, the salary and benefits she offered were the same as those of the salespeople Wang Erhai had recruited earlier.
But still, it actually attracted several young women with decent looks to come for interviews.
Liu Mei Qi ultimately hired three beautiful women and two rather handsome young men.
Originally she planned to recruit all five salespeople as women, but this small county town indeed lacked young beautiful women, and Liu Mei Qi's own standards were quite picky, so in the end she only recruited three beautiful women.
As for the other two young men, their image was also very good — both tall and handsome, with thick eyebrows and big eyes.
After forming the sales team, Liu Mei Qi personally trained them.
Hand-in-hand, she taught them some sales scripts and some routines to increase closing rates.
How to find target clients, how to bring target clients to view properties, how to facilitate deals, how to make buyers feel they've scored a bargain once they've committed — all of these have routines.
And these routines aren't just one kind, but a dazzling variety.
Real estate has developed rapidly for so many years; it's long since been played out in every possible way.
As a senior real estate salesperson, Liu Mei Qi knowing all kinds of dazzling routines is only natural.
On the other side, Wang Erhai was also training his sales team.
He repeatedly emphasized that they must treat clients with genuine sincerity, not hide anything from them; the pros and cons of a house must be told to clients honestly, make friends with clients, and hand the power of choice to the clients.
Once he discovered anyone playing routines or scheming, they would be severely punished — light punishment meant docking pay, heavy punishment meant firing.
Wang Erhai's team and Liu Mei Qi's team, under the same company roof, had completely opposite management strategies, and the employees under the two of them inevitably mingled and chatted, so this matter naturally couldn't be kept from them.
"How come our group's sales philosophy is completely opposite to yours? What exactly is going on?"
At noon this day, while Wang Erhai's sales group members were eating roast meat rice outside, they discussed this matter.
"Who knows? Maybe it's an experiment."
An employee said this.
"Experiment my ass; this is a bet between General Manager Wang and Manager Liu."
Liu Mei Qi's current position at Shanhai Real Estate Fugang Branch is Sales Manager, so the employees all call her Manager Liu.
"Where did you get this news?"
An employee asked.
That employee answered:
"This morning when I passed by the HR department, I accidentally overheard Long Ge and his girlfriend talking; Long Ge said General Manager Wang and Manager Liu signed some betting agreement."
Long Ge is Lin Xiaolong; Lin Xiaolong is currently in charge of distribution, his job is to contact other property consultants in the county town, release Spring City Garden's housing sources, and let third-party consultants sell them.
After all, Spring City Garden opens for sales on National Day with nine buildings at once; relying solely on the Mountain-Sea Real Estate Branch Company to sell them would definitely not move that many.
Lin Xiaolong knows the county town well and has extensive connections; he previously helped handle fire safety matters and earned Wang Erhai's trust, which is why Wang Erhai handed this job to him.
Lin Xiaolong, learning that Wang Erhai wanted to do sincere management, was also speechless and opposed it, feeling this management philosophy was brain-dead, but he didn't dare oppose Wang Erhai to his face, so he went to complain a few sentences to his girlfriend Huang Mengna.
But unexpectedly, his complaining was overheard by a passing employee.
This spreads one to ten, ten to a hundred; it will definitely be known throughout the whole company very soon.
"General Manager Wang and Manager Liu are actually betting? What are they betting on?"
An employee asked curiously.
"I don't know that; I didn't dare keep listening, just heard a few sentences."
An employee joked with a laugh:
"Could it be our General Manager Wang has taken a fancy to Manager Liu? Actually making a bet with her!"
"It's really possible; Manager Liu is so beautiful, who wouldn't be bewitched looking at her!"
"But would Manager Liu fancy him? He looks even more ordinary than us."
"That's hard to say; no matter how you put it, she's still General Manager Wang, the one who calls the shots in our Company……"
Several Employees discussed it back and forth.
This matter spread through the Company before long.
As it spread, somehow it turned from speculation into firmly stated fact — saying Wang Erhai had made a Betting Agreement with Liu Mei Qi in order to pursue her, and describing it with such convincing detail, with all sorts of Details.
Wang Erhai heard this Rumor and didn't know whether to laugh or cry.
Right now he regards Liu Mei Qi as his biggest Competitor, so how could he possibly have taken a fancy to her?
But he couldn't very well go Personally to refute the rumors either.
After All, with this kind of thing, if the person involved steps forward to clarify, it only makes things worse, and the people below spread it even more outrageously.
Just ignore these Rumors; let them sit for a Short Term, and the Rumors will naturally die down.
Just don't know what Liu Mei Qi would think upon hearing these Rumors?
This Afternoon after Off Duty, Wang Erhai deliberately sought out Liu Mei Qi to Eat a Meal, and apologized to her face:
"There are Rumors in the Company about us, saying I made the Betting Agreement with you to pursue you; don't know which Dog Thing spread it, but if this matter troubles you, then I can only say sorry to you."
Liu Mei Qi was Stunned, and couldn't help but look at Wang Erhai with new respect.
Unexpectedly, even though they're currently in a Competitive relationship, Wang Erhai still had the mind to invite her to Eat a Meal, lowering himself to apologize to her.
Have To Admit, Wang Erhai this person is Indeed quite Sincere.
Could it be, this is the reason he's always upheld Sincere Management?
"You don't need to say sorry to me; this Betting Agreement was proposed by me on my own Initiative, I should be the one saying sorry to you; this Rumor hasn't troubled you, has it?"
Liu Mei Qi smiled faintly; she fundamentally doesn't Care About such Rumors and Gossip.
Back when she was Sales Champion at Huangsheng, who knows how many people said she slept her way to the title, and she never bothered to care.
Actually she fundamentally has never slept with any Male; it's not that she Never Thought of using her body to trade for sales, but she knows very clearly in her heart, this kind of Divination Method might hook fish, but it's Not Long-lasting, and easy to come unhooked; if those stinking men take advantage of her then turn around and deny it, and don't come to her to Buy a House, wouldn't she lose out terribly?
She's always believed one Sentence: Rice only stays in your hand to keep the Chicken chasing after you; if you give the Rice to the Chicken to eat, the Chicken won't come looking for you anymore.
Toward feelings, she is so; toward work, she is also so.
Her beauty is a kind of noble and magnificent Rice, a kind that makes people want to take One Kiss just looking at it.
So although she hasn't been shy about using her beauty as bait, she's never let those home-buying clients truly eat even One Kiss.
At most just add WeChat with them, Eat a Meal, that's all.
Besides, she's dealt with so many Rich Big Bosses like Zhang Sheng, Niu Chunsheng, she Long Ago stopped looking down on those Ordinary home-buying clients.
