“Then please come here. We have an eco-car to take you.” The salesman led them out and spoke.

This so-called eco-car was a battery car that didn’t burn gasoline. It was suitable for the property management of a small community.

Yang Ming and Chen Mengyan followed the salesman to the door. There came a man coming head-on, apparently also a salesman, who was talking endlessly to a middle-aged man next to him.

“Li Dagang?” Yang Ming looked at the man and uttered with some surprise.

“Yang Ming?!” Li Dagang looked up and saw Yang Ming with joy.

“Xiao Li, your friend?” The salesman who just served Yang Ming asked Li Dagang.

” En , my good buddy from high school!” Li Dagang said, “Brother Zhang, can you help me to serve my client? He is interested in a business property. I need to catch up with my brother!”

“Alright!” The salesman, known as Brother Zhang, nodded and agreed to subst.i.tute in for Li Dagang’s position as he continued the explanation for the middle-aged man.

In fact, Li Dagang was just doing an exchange with Brother Zhang. Even if he didn’t switch, when Yang Ming knew Li Dagang, Brother Zhang couldn’t just bring Yang Ming through the procedure at all. After all, LI Dagang and Brother Zhang worked in the same place. They couldn’t worsen their relations.h.i.+p for just a customer.

What’s more, this middle-aged man wanted to buy a business property. Once the transaction was made, the commission wasn’t less than the villa, so Brother Zhang agreed with Li Dagang’s request delightedly.

“Brother Yang, how come you’re here?” Li Dagang asked curiously. In his opinion, Yang Ming’s family conditions were not too different from his. It was impossible to buy a house in such an expensive place.

“My girlfriend and I came to look for a house. Let me introduce you to Chen Mengyan. She was also in the same high school as us, my cla.s.smate!” explained Yang Ming.

“Glad to meet you!” Li Dagang smirked and said, “How can I not know the campus belle of Grade 12?”

“What campus belle? It was all rumors pa.s.sed on by others…” Chen Mengyan was embarra.s.sed as her face blushed.

“Right, Li Dagang, how about you? How come you are here to sell properties?” Yang Ming looked at Li Dagang’s outfit and asked curiously.

“At my level, I definitely can’t make it to university.” Li Dagang said, “At the time, didn’t Brother Yang advise me? I was following your advice so I stopped thinking about college remedial exams and the like. After graduating from high school, I immediately went into society and applied for a sales consultant position in this property company. I didn’t expect myself to fall in love with this job after working for a few months. The income is great so I can at least provide my family with something…”

“Well, I didn’t expect that. A sportsperson like you can actually be a salesperson. I remember you weren’t quite talkative back in the days.” Yang Ming nodded delightfully, knowing that Li Dagang was now well-fed.

“The environment shapes us…” Li Dagang said. However, as soon as he finished his words, he found it embarra.s.sing. This sentence was too ambiguous. It would be fine for Yang Ming but Chen Mengyan was here. He had to pay attention to his image, so he added on, “For our line of work, if we don’t speak well, how would we survive!?”

“That’s right.” Yang Ming didn’t think much of it. “How is it? How much can you make in a month?”

“More than 30,000 yuan. Hehe. I earn more than the kid, Xu Peng.” Li Dagang said, “Right, Xu Peng also said the other day that we should gather together when we have the opportunity. It has been a long time since we visited the food stalls at the back of the school and grabbed some drinks!”

“More than 30,000 yuan? That is awesome! Of course, there is no problem with a gathering. You can set the time, and then notify me!” Yang Ming nodded. He also missed the life of those years.

“It is pretty average. But Brother Yang, you seem to be rich. You even came here to look for property! Generally, those who can buy property here isn’t your average person!” Li Dagang was surprised.

“I founded a company with Zhang Bing.” Yang Ming patted Li Dagang’s shoulder and said, “I will tell you in detail when I have the opportunity. Are you interested in working in my company?”

“Isn’t that a matter of your word?” Li Dagang said without hesitation. He didn’t think about it at all whether the treatment would be better after he went there.

“That is the spirit, good brother!” Yang Ming nodded with approval. Yang Ming was content to have such a friend.

“However, let me put it bluntly. If I resign, I have no source of income!” Li Dagang said, “It is alright if you don’t pay me a salary when I work for you, but you have to take care of my food necessities!”

” Ha !” Yang Ming laughed and said, “Don’t worry. You won’t die from hunger.”

Li Dagang also laughed as if he had returned to the times from back in high school when they drank together, skipped cla.s.ses together, complimented beauties together, and conversed about the future together.

Since the integration of w.a.n.g’s Century Xiongfeng Group, Yang Ming had been planning to open another real estate company. After all, the real estate industry was also a high-profit industry.

At that time, Li Dagang could be poached to become a sales manager.

“Let us visit the property!” Li Dagang suggested. “If you want to buy, I will inform the management for you and get an insider price.”

“Why? Don’t you want your commission?” Yang Ming asked with a smile.

“Brother Yang, aren’t you mocking me? I can make money out of anyone but how can I take your money?!” Li Dagang wasn’t happy.

“Just kidding. The insider price is necessary.” Yang Ming wasn’t short of money, but friends.h.i.+p had nothing to do with money.

“The eco-car just left. Let’s wait for a while. Let us wait for the two who went ahead of us to the house to come back.” Li Dagang glanced at the eco-car parking s.p.a.ce at the door.

“Is it far away?” asked Yang Ming.

“It’s not far. It’s just about ten minutes, but the weather is cold. Who is willing to walk there?” said Li Dagang.

“Let’s go. I can drive us there.” Yang Ming said.

“You even have a car?” Li Dagang widened his eyes. “Let me say this, Brother Yang. You have to talk to me when you have time. It looks like you’re really wealthy.”

“No problem.” Yang Ming replied as he pressed the remote control in his hand. The BMW X5’s light flashed with its alarm rang twice.

“BMW?” Li Dagang dropped his jaws widely this time. “No way! That is way too shocking!”

“Cut it out!” Yang Ming shook his head helplessly. “I don’t believe that you as a person who sells properties has never encountered a customer who drove a BMW.”

“I’ve seen it before, but this isn’t the same!” Li Dagang said, “I didn’t expect you to be doing so well. I have decided that Brother Yang, I will follow you in the future!”

“When you went to school, you seemed to have already been following me.” Yang Ming commented in disdain.

” Hehe …” Li Dagang smiled and said, “Boss, just say it. When do I resign?”

“Let’s wait for a while. I need to plan it. During this time, you need to learn more about real estate marketing,” said Yang Ming.

“Do you want to start a real estate sales company?” Li Dagang wasn’t stupid, and roughly guessed Yang Ming’s intentions.

Yang Ming nodded ambiguously. “Should be.” In fact, Yang Ming wanted to open a real estate company. As for sales, he just grabbed it out of coincidence.

In the real estate industry, developers, sellers, and properties management were often three different companies, but Yang Ming was now rich. It would be great if those were integrated.

“I understand.” Li Dagang nodded. “I will study hard.”

“How do we go there?” Yang Ming started the car and asked Li Dagang.

“Up ahead, turn left and go in through the gate of the compound.” Li Dagang said.

Yang Ming drove to the gate according to the route Li Dagang mentioned. He was stopped at the gate of the compound by the security guard. Without the vehicle pa.s.s from the community, he wasn’t allowed to enter.

However, after Li Dagang showed his head, the security guard let them in.

“Where is the villa area?” Yang Ming wasn’t planning to buy those small units. He wanted to buy a house that satisfied him.

“Villa?” Li Dagang said, “No way. You want to buy a villa?”

” En , just taking a look.” Yang Ming nodded.

“I’m convinced. It seems, boss, you really have the capability now!” When Li Dagang promised Yang Ming to work for him initially, it was completely out of friends.h.i.+p with no other interest in it. Even if Yang Ming’s company size wasn’t big, Li Dagang didn’t mind.

But now, Li Dagang learned that the size of Yang Ming’s company was definitely quite large. Although it was considered as Li Dagang helping Yang Ming out, as a matter of fact, it was better to say that Yang Ming was bringing Li Dagang in.

Thinking of this, Li Dagang couldn’t help but be grateful to Yang Ming.

“The villas are generally more than 10 million for one unit. I can apply for an insider price with a 10% discount.” Li Dagang introduced firmly.

“Not bad. I save more than one million at a time!” Yang Ming smiled. “It seems that I have to find some ways to repay you with the money I save! Just be honest, if you sell this villa normally, how much commission can you make?”

“There are ten villas like this which are extremely high-end residences. From the commencement of sales to the present, you’re the first buyer!” Li Dagang said.
