133: Chapter 133 Major Clients

"Hi, people your age who come to look at houses are usually doing it for their children."

Chen Hao replied smoothly, trying his best to appear professional.

"I'll venture a guess. Since you're clearly not from around here, there are only two reasons you'd be house-hunting for your child: first, it's for their marriage, or second, it's for speculation."

The big client smiled faintly, exhaling smoke as he spoke.

"Which one do I look like?"

"I see you have an extraordinary bearing; you look like the CEO of a major business. So, I'll make a bold guess. Please don't be offended if I'm wrong."

"You are pardoned."

That single sentence confirmed his habitually superior attitude, and Chen Hao became even more certain of his guess.

"I think you fall into a third category: your child was accepted into a university here, and you're looking for a place close to the school because you feel living in the dorms would be inconvenient."

The big client visibly paused, looking at Chen Hao with a peculiar gaze.

"How could you tell? Is it that obvious?"

"I was just guessing."

Chen Hao knew he had guessed correctly and decided to follow up on that opening.

"I just felt that your considerations were different from others, and your aura is also unlike everyone else's."

He then asked,

"What aura do I have?"

"A nobility rarely seen amidst the hustle and bustle of the marketplace."

He laughed heartily, taking a drag from his cigarette and gazing into the distance.

"Continue."

This reaction was exactly what Chen Hao wanted.

"People who do big business think differently than ordinary folks. For someone noble like you, buying a house is easy. You don't consider cost-effectiveness; you only consider whether you can feel secure living there."

"Hmm, that makes sense. Keep going."

Chen Hao quickly picked up the thread of conversation.

"If you trust me, how about I take responsibility for introducing properties and showing you the model homes?"

"My time is very valuable. Every minute is worth hundreds of millions."

While it sounded like bragging, he was actually stating the truth and conveying his need for efficiency.

"It won't take up much of your time. I'll be brief. The community closest to Wuhan University with the best property management and security is the River View Residential Area. You can't tell much at the sales office, but I guarantee you'll be satisfied once you visit in person."

He stubbed out the cigarette and casually inquired,

"Can you drive?"

"I can."

He casually pulled out a set of car keys and handed them to Chen Hao.

"You drive, and take me to see it."

"Please wait a moment, I'll go get the keys."

He rushed back into the sales office to request the keys to the River View Residential Area model home. As he emerged, he ran into Liu Jiayin.

"What's the rush?"

"Taking a client to see a property."

By the time he reached the parking lot, the big client was already waiting.

"I apologize for the delay while I fetched the keys."

Only upon reaching the car did Chen Hao realize it was a Cadillac Fleetwood—its exterior even more stately and imposing than a Maybach, bearing a Shanghai license plate. Chen Hao's guess was absolutely spot on.

Opening the door and getting in, Chen Hao felt a slight thrill as he drove a luxury car worth over four million yuan for the first time.

Upon arriving downstairs at the community, the Security Guard snapped to attention and saluted, watching the luxury car enter the complex.

Chen Hao immediately began boasting, meticulously explaining the community's camera coverage and security measures.

"This community uses a SkyNet electronic surveillance system. Every camera inside the complex can be monitored through the SkyNet system."

The big client cared most about security, so Chen Hao skipped details about floor plans and green space and focused solely on security.

After parking and entering the building, he presented the sales office ID to the property management and Security Guard. Led by the Security Guard, they finally took the elevator up to the model home.

"Boss, as you can see, any outside personnel who are not residents are strictly vetted to ensure client privacy and safety."

The big client stood by the floor-to-ceiling window, looking at the rolling Yangtze River, feeling extremely relaxed.

"Since you're so good at guessing, try guessing if my child will like the interior design style of your company's unit."

Chen Hao didn't take the bait directly; he steered the conversation.

"The model home's design is standardized and uniform. If you are satisfied with the layout, you can decorate it according to your own ideas, or our company's construction team can renovate it according to your preferred style."

The big client asked again,

"What if I want to know her preferred decoration style without letting my child know?"

Chen Hao immediately stated his position.

"I understand. You want to give your child a surprise. What I want to say is that the decoration isn't fixed; if she doesn't like it, we can change it to her desired style anytime. Our company covers everything."

The big client nodded in satisfaction and walked toward the door without turning back.

"With your assurance, I am relieved. Let's go back and sign the contract."

Just like that, Chen Hao effortlessly secured this major deal.

Back at the sales office, Chen Hao led the boss to the VIP lounge, served tea and water, and presented the purchase contract for review.

Several team leaders rushed over upon hearing the news, and even Manager Huang shamelessly came over, trying to hijack the deal.

"How can you serve the client instant coffee? Go brew a cup of freshly ground coffee, and hurry up!"

Manager Huang winked and gestured, clearly trying to push Chen Hao out.

Newcomers are always bullied when they first enter the workplace, and Chen Hao was no exception.

However, Chen Hao didn't take offense; Manager Huang and the others might not be able to handle this big client.

As expected, shortly after Chen Hao left, the big client began to show impatience.

The main issue was that Manager Huang kept pushing installment payments and recommending several small-scale loans, talking them up extensively.

What was the identity of this big client? A wealthy man driving a Cadillac Fleetwood worth over five million—did he need installment loans to buy a house? That was ridiculous.

"Are you finished yet? Can't you just let me have a moment of peace?"

The aura of a superior exploded forth, and Manager Huang immediately fell silent.

When Chen Hao returned with the coffee, the atmosphere eased slightly.

"The contract for the full cash purchase is fine. You sign it, and handle all the subsequent procedures for me."

"Got it!"

Having Chen Hao sign meant the commission for this deal belonged to Chen Hao.

Manager Huang coughed repeatedly, trying to signal Chen Hao not to sign yet.

But the big client glared at Manager Huang with ill intent, radiating immense pressure.

"If there's something wrong with your throat, you should see a doctor."

Manager Huang left, looking crestfallen.

Next came the procedural steps. Everything went smoothly until Chen Hao saw the big client off. Chen Hao repeatedly guaranteed that he could be fully trusted with the follow-up tasks.

Before leaving, the big client, sitting in his car, casually handed Chen Hao a business card.

"I don't want my daughter to know about this, nor do I want to waste time on renovations. Add my contact information. I'll send you my daughter's details later. Since you are so good at reading people, you can predict her preferred decoration style by observing her relevant information."

"Understood."

"Handle this matter well, and I will grant you an opportunity that will guarantee you earn much more than you do here."

"Thank you for your mentorship."

After watching him leave, Chen Hao finally took the time to look at the business card.

Good heavens, Sun Guoliang, President of a Shanghai financial company. This was a super-rich man even wealthier than Wei Xinglong.
