Protagonist:

Li Xiulan

The sales results of the past two days dealt a heavy blow to Wang Erhai, but he would not give up easily.

Thinking back to when Shanhai Real Estate was in dire straits and everyone wanted to give up, his elder brother Wang Dashan never gave up, and his elder brother's persistence ultimately brought them back from the brink.

This matter had a great impact on Wang Erhai.

So he naturally could not give up easily now.

"Why do you still insist on this futile struggle?"

Liu Mei Qi sighed:

"You should know better than I do that the highest sales during the National Day holiday are in the first two days, and sales will gradually decline afterward. Now that the gap between us is so large, it is impossible for you to catch up to me."

Wang Erhai also knew in his heart that catching up to Liu Mei Qi's team was indeed very difficult.

But he would not give up lightly.

"Anyway, no matter what, we must wait until the entire National Day holiday is over before we can determine the winner."

Most importantly, if he admitted defeat now, he would have to agree to Liu Mei Qi's shareholding.

By then, Liu Mei Qi would hold the decision-making authority of this branch company, and his status in the company would definitely be greatly affected.

He did not want to lose control of the company!

"Since you are so headstrong, fine, let's just wait and see! Anyway, today is already the 3rd, and there are only four days left until the National Day holiday ends."

After saying this, Liu Mei Qi turned around and left.

Wang Erhai, meanwhile, gathered all the members of his sales team and held a heart-to-heart meeting with them.

"I'm sure you all already know about my betting agreement with Liu Mei Qi. Now Liu Mei Qi's team has already sold 25 houses, while we have only sold 11. The gap is quite large. If we don't work harder, we might lose."

Wang Erhai upheld his philosophy of sincere management and was also very sincere toward his employees.

He then said:

"I know you actually don't care about my win or loss, but you should care about your commissions, right? Here's the thing: if we can beat Liu Mei Qi, everyone's commission will be doubled on top of the original basis!"

As soon as these words were spoken, the entire team immediately erupted.

Everyone looked surprised, some finding it hard to believe.

Originally, the commission given by Spring City Garden was two percent, while Wang Erhai gave them one percent. If it were doubled directly, wouldn't that mean all the commission given by Spring City Garden would go to these employees, and the company wouldn't earn a cent?

"Manager Wang, is what you said true? Are you sure you're not joking?"

An employee asked with a face full of disbelief.

Wang Erhai nodded:

"It's true. I will sign a supplementary agreement with you later. A promise signed in black and white—if I don't keep my word, you can sue me, and you'll definitely win."

To preserve Shanhai Real Estate's decision-making authority, Wang Erhai was willing to go all out.

Whether he made money or not no longer mattered; the most important thing was not to lose to Liu Mei Qi!

If he lost to Liu Mei Qi, he would not only lose control of the company, but his values would also be shattered!

Since Wang Erhai had said this, the employees below immediately became excited, full of energy, wishing they could start working right away.

At this time, Wang Erhai added:

"Remember, you can strive hard, but you cannot abandon the philosophy of sincere management. When dealing with customers, you must be sincere. Do not play tricks on me. Whoever plays tricks on me, even if the deal is closed, it won't count."

The employees below all nodded in agreement, promising to be sincere.

But in reality, they were just paying lip service.

Some even thought that Wang Erhai deliberately emphasized this point to hint to them that as long as they put on a show of sincerity on the surface, they could do whatever they wanted behind the scenes, as long as Wang Erhai didn't find out.

Wang Erhai was ultimately too young.

He wanted to persist in sincere management, but the nature of human nature is to look for loopholes.

Especially under the temptation of huge benefits, the possibility of taking risks to look for loopholes is even greater.

"Das Kapital" once said that as long as the profit is sufficient, people will dare to risk everything!

So after he proposed the reward of doubling commissions if they won the bet, his sales team below began to let loose.

As long as Wang Erhai was not there watching, they also began to play tricks.

Originally, it was required to explain both the pros and cons of the house to the customer clearly, but some salespeople began to only mention the pros and not the cons.

This trick was still on the lighter side.

A salesperson discovered that Liu Mei Qi only gave her team members 0.8 percent commission, while their team under Wang Erhai, if they won, could get 2 percent commission. The difference was so large that the room for manipulation was truly too great.

So that salesperson colluded with a beautiful female salesperson from Liu Mei Qi's team, asking her to direct the clients she had negotiated with to his side to sign contracts. After the deal was done, he would give that beautiful female salesperson 1 percent commission. This was equivalent to him having his own sales volume, and also letting that beautiful female salesperson give him sales volume.

The beautiful female salesperson naturally agreed happily upon hearing there was money to be made.

This operation quickly spread privately among the salespeople of both teams.

Time came to October 5th in the blink of an eye.

Liu Mei Qi discovered that the sales volume in her team had plummeted over these two days, while Wang Erhai's team's sales actually surged against the trend, and only then did she sense something was wrong.

"What's going on? Why have your sales been so low these past two days? Junru, you were the sales champion of our team for the first two days. How come in these past three days, you've only sold one house?"

Liu Mei Qi gathered her sales team for questioning.

Huang Junru explained with her head bowed:

"Sister Mei Qi, I'm sorry. I've been working hard to find clients these past few days, but I just couldn't find anyone with an intention to buy."

Liu Mei Qi, as an experienced person who had been there, naturally saw at a glance that something was off with Huang Junru.

But she did not expose her to her face.

Instead she said:

"I hope you all work harder. If we win this betting agreement this time, I will give you extra rewards."

Then she turned around to find Wang Erhai.

At this time, on the other side, Wang Erhai looked at the scorecards his team had submitted over these past few days, and could not help but reveal a smug smile, his face full of spring breeze pride.

He did not know that the salespeople under his team had secretly pulled all kinds of shady tricks behind his back.

His team's total sales volume, although still not exceeding Liu Mei Qi's team, was already very close, differing by only the quantity of two houses. Following this trend, in two days they would definitely overtake.

He knew that under a great reward there must be a brave man; he could not possibly lose to Liu Mei Qi.

This effect could be said to be immediate.

"Wang Erhai, just what method did you use? You actually closed so many deals in these few days?"

Liu Mei Qi directly spoke up to question:

"Are you sure this is sincere management? Are you sure you're not playing tricks more flowery than mine?"

Wang Erhai immediately spoke with righteous words:

"You can question my ability, but you cannot question my character. Sincere management is the foundation of Shanhai Real Estate; I will never change this strategy."

Liu Mei Qi said coldly:

"Then tell me, where did your team's sales come from?"

Wang Erhai did not hide it, and frankly said:

"I only raised their commission rate. They were motivated and worked hard to find clients. That is very normal."

"How much did you raise their commission rate?"

Wang Erhai said honestly:

"Double."

Liu Mei Qi immediately exclaimed in surprise:

"Are you crazy? Doing this, not only will you not earn money, you will lose money. Does company operation not need costs?"

Liu Mei Qi felt that Wang Erhai's operation was simply brainless; the damage this would do to the company would definitely be huge.

However Wang Erhai said:

"Losing a bit doesn't matter. As long as I can beat you, that's fine."
