Chapter 363: Chapter 297: What’s the Difference with Giving it Away for Free? (Subscription Please!) _2
Zhuo Jun said a lot. Both Mother Tang and Aunt Lin listened carefully. As expected from a manager, he was so persuasive that both of them almost wanted to buy a unit right away. Seeing that the manager was explaining near the sandbox model, the other salespeople tactfully led their customers away to different negotiation areas.
After Zhuo Jun finished, Tang Qing directly asked, "What’s the price?" acting like someone who didn’t know much.
"The price of our units varies per square meter, depending on the floor and layout. Especially our duplex units have a large area, good lighting, and a great view..." Zhuo Jun started to push for the duplex units dutifully according to their ’script’.
"Wait, Manager Zhuo, whether it’s good or not isn’t for you to decide. Mom, Aunt, let’s go check it out in person. We can also see the other layouts." Tang Qing interrupted Zhuo Jun.
"Sure, we’d better see it in person before deciding if we like it." Mother Tang agreed. Now that they had enough money, she didn’t care much about the layout and the price. The houses here were not villas. No matter how expensive, it couldn’t be too much. Besides, with their relative present, they had to give face to Tang Qing, didn’t they?
"Manager Zhuo, can we go see it now?" Tang Qing turned to Zhuo Jun.
"Sure, right this way." Zhuo Jun led the way.
The neighborhood was quite large, comprising eighteen buildings. The duplex they were interested in was on the twelfth, top floor of building seven. All top floors of the buildings in the neighborhood were designed as duplexes, while the rest were single-level units.
Zhuo Jun told them that most of the duplex units had already been sold, and only a few remained.
Upon taking the elevator to the top floor and opening the door, a vast space appeared before them. The living room extends up to the roof, over six meters high. In its unfinished state, where a huge chandelier should have hung, there was only a small incandescent light. To the right, a staircase led to the ’second floor’. The first floor housed the kitchen, dining room, and living room, while the second floor housed the bedrooms and study. The layout was of five rooms. Large floor-to-ceiling windows offered a great view of the street outside.
Under Zhuo Jun’s guidance, they inspected all the rooms. With professional design, the layout was beyond reproach.
"Tangtang, isn’t this duplex unit too big? It must be very expensive. Why don’t we just buy a standard three-bedroom unit?" Mother Tang whispered.
Tang Qing reassured her, "Don’t worry, Mom. If we get a mortgage, we don’t have to pay it all at once. Besides, I have a membership card. If you think it’s good, we can definitely afford it."
"Alright, I think it’s fine. Let’s also look at the unit opposite. If it’s good, it will be nice to live close to the in-laws. We can watch out for each other." Mother Tang agreed, nodding her head.
Money was not a concern for Mother Tang. She had just felt that the house was too big and empty. Don’t forget, the payment term for the jewelry was one year. What did that mean? It meant that their bank accounts now contained at least six to seven hundred thousand RMB. It would not be a problem even if they paid in full, let alone with a mortgage. They just generally would not touch the money reserved for Tang Qing’s second uncle.
Subsequently, they moved to the duplex unit across the hall, which had a symmetric layout like their own.
"Auntie, what do you think of this house?" Tang Qing asked Aunt Lin.
"It’s fine." Aunt Lin nodded. She knew that Mother Tang had already decided on the unit opposite. It would be good if she got this one for herself. 𝓃𝓸𝓋𝓅𝓾𝒷.𝒸ℴ𝓂
The first phase of the ’script’ was complete.
Tang Qing smiled happily and turned to Zhuo Jun, "Manager Zhuo, can you tell me about any discounts you offer?"
Seeing that things were going smoothly, Zhuo Jun breathed a sigh of relief and quickly answered:
"We do offer discounts. Today, buyers can enjoy a 9.8% discount. If you pay in full, you’ll get an additional 80 RMB off per square meter. If you have a membership card from our Group, you can receive corresponding discounts based on the membership level. Also, today, each buyer can participate in a lottery draw and win more discounts."
"Can we draw the lottery before buying?" Tang Qing ’asked’.
"Of course, but you must have an intermediate or higher membership card from our Group." Zhuo Jun answered.
Tang Qing took out the card that Liu Qian had given him from his pocket and handed it over, "I have this card. Is that okay?"
"No, no problem, sir. Please follow me." After seeing the card, the manager became even more respectful. He was shocked. Of course, he knew about this type of card. There were fewer than ten in circulation. For general services from the Group, such as dining and singing, all expenses were waived. For real estate, the price was only the cost price. Considering the discounts associated with this card and remembering the top prize today, if all these discounts were combined, it would be like... oh my god, they were practically giving the house away for free.
They then arrived at a side hall in the lobby, where there were large boxes and many people drawing lots. It seemed that they still had to wait. Zhuo Jun did not show any excitement, but waited respectfully at one side, also offering Tang Qing and the others tea and beverages.
"Mom, I’ll go line up. You guys can sit over there." Tang Qing pointed to the chairs in the negotiation area.
"No need, there aren’t many people in line anyway. We can wait." Mother Tang was somewhat excited too.
Tang Qing did not insist further.
The crowd took turns drawing lots and checking their prizes.
"Shoot, it’s only a 0.5% discount."
"Be content, that’s still thousands of dollars."
"Ha-ha, mine is 1%."
"Sweet, my monthly salary just came out."
"Lucky."
"I didn’t get anything, can I draw again?"
