After Lin Zitan left the old Johnson's house, he has been thinking about the old man's conversation with him today, in addition to the affirmation of his founding of the foundation, it is the inexplicable happiness problem, and finally the so-called current situation.

At this time, it is coming to the end of the year, and the layoffs of real estate companies have not reduced his overall income in real estate too much, as he said to Li Manrui before, many agents are only affiliated with their companies, and they can only draw 30% of the agency fee at most.

However, those brokers with very high trading volume can also take a limited amount of money, once that limit is reached, the rest of the money is taken by the broker himself, and the company just looks good at trading volume.

Lin Zitan also reduced the company's expenses after the layoffs, and more than half of the original large office could be cut out for subletting, and this income made up for the loss.

In February 2018, Apartment was finally acquired by Costar Group for $350 million in cash and $35 million in stock.

At the end of the year, the supermarket was a big hit, but due to the increasingly fierce competition, there are more and more Chinese supermarkets, and the market is relatively stable.

With labor costs of more than 45% and less than 10% of the profits seen in the purchase and online delivery of goods, Lin Zitan was ready to sell the two supermarkets before the first lease expired.

In order to meet the needs of the supermarket, the two farms that were rented before have long been surrendered, and they have vigorously developed their own four farms. Once the two supermarkets are resold, Lin Zitan's four farms will inevitably be transformed or sold.

--------------------------

Soon after Lin Zitan's supermarket trading information was hung out, many Chinese compatriots called to negotiate, and finally Xiao Zheng and Assistant Chen interviewed many buyers together, and only kept the most interested buyers, and handed them over to Lin Zitan to interview in person.

On this day, Lin Zitan sat in the office, waiting for today's second buyer.

"Knock knock~"

Xiao Zheng knocked on the door and led the buyer into Lin Zitan's office.

"Alas, this is not ......" Lin Zitan didn't expect that this time it was Wu Junhao, who he hadn't seen for a long time.

"Alas, how could it be you, Mr. Lin, I didn't expect you to be a supermarket, it's really a big boss, a big boss, you do any business that comes from money, haha~"

Wu Junhao said excitedly as soon as they met.

"I didn't expect it to be you, Brother Hao!, how could you think of buying a supermarket?" Lin Zitan said curiously.

"Alas, I'm not satisfied with you, I've been mixed in the United States for several years, and I haven't found a good investment project, and I have made a restaurant, just that kind of hot pot restaurant, this is not the New York restaurant The competition is too fierce, the business is not very good, and I just closed it after the year.

I also bought a winery before, but the rent is getting more and more expensive, and I can't make a lot of money, and I hang every day, I want to sell it, but I can't bear it.

Just some time ago, a buddy said that it is very profitable to make a supermarket now, so I wanted to partner with someone to make a supermarket, but I didn't expect to meet you again! It seems that my luck will definitely get better this time, hehe~"

Wu Junhao said and wiped the sweat from his nose embarrassedly.

Lin Zitan observed him carefully, and found that after not seeing him for so long, Wu Junhao's weight can be said to be getting better and better, I don't know if it is because of his lack of exercise, or if the water and soil here are easier to absorb, this guy has grown from the original little fat man to a big fat man.

"But you don't have any experience in taking care of supermarkets, what if you don't make money again? The cost of this supermarket is not low!"

Lin Zitan kindly reminded.

"Where did I buy it myself, this time I partnered with someone else, do you remember Yang Fan? It's the one that your company helped him sell the house before~" Wu Junhao reminded quietly.

"Oh, Mr. Yang, is he going to buy it?

Of course, Lin Zitan remembered the one surnamed Yang, the shelf was quite big and the momentum was quite strong, and in order to negotiate the deal, he also invited the two of them to have a meal of 1,000 yuan, and later the house was sold and he didn't see the person surnamed Yang to say a word of thanks.

Lin Zitan still remembered that Yang Fan was not such an imprudent person, and the two supermarkets together cost millions of dollars, how could it be possible for Wu Junhao to come over and talk alone?

"Uh...... We have also cooperated several times, you are not an outsider, I will give Mr. Lin a bottom, Yang Fan's side, to be honest, it is a little inconvenient to come out, his father had an accident the year before last, that is, in the autumn of the year you helped sell the house.

was forcibly repatriated back to China, and their family didn't dare to show their wealth now, so they asked me to come forward to talk, but my shares were relatively small. ”

"Oh, no wonder he was in a hurry to sell the house at that time!

"As long as he doesn't go back, he should be fine, but his wife was also controlled when he returned to China some time ago, so he is scared now......!

"To be honest, I've been in the United States for a bit of a long time, and I don't know what their family has done in the country, but it's okay, you don't have to tell me, we're in business, and the rest is not under our control, so I won't ask more." ”

Lin Zitan felt that this surnamed Yang must have a lot of origin, but now when he heard Wu Junhao say it so simply, he immediately stopped talking.

"Or Mr. Lin is more cautious in dealing with the world, then I won't say more, let's talk about business, talk about business, hehe~"

Wu Junhao immediately realized that he seemed to have said a little too much, and hurriedly said with a smile.

"Since I am an old friend with your brother, I won't hide it from you, the reason why my two supermarkets are sold is because I can't take care of too much of my own business, but in fact it is quite profitable.

I don't believe you can check the past business records, the rent is cheap, and the supply is stable, as long as you operate well, it is no problem to earn more than 100,000 yuan a year. Lin Zitan immediately said seriously.

"Oh, if it were someone else, I would definitely not believe it, since it is Mr. Lin's business, then I absolutely believe you, in this way, I will go back this time and bring our letter of intent to buy back to Yang Fan."

He has also visited these two supermarkets a few times before, and he should be quite interested, if he has no problems, we will find a lawyer to discuss the transaction as soon as possible. ”

The two talked in the office for a while, and Lin Zitan got up and took Wu Junhao to look around the supermarket, and told him in detail about his supporting farm supply and the current business model of the supermarket.

Wu Junhao immediately said that even if the supermarket was bought by them, he would continue to sign a supply contract with the farm, and hoped that Lin Zitan would give more guidance in the early stage and try to keep the supermarket unchanged from its current business model.

Seeing off Wu Junhao, Xiao Zheng, who was standing aside, finally said with relief:

"Boss, it seems that this one is more reliable than the first two!"

"Who said that this one is reliable? What we talked about today and these companies we talked about yesterday are added together, and Wu Junhao is not reliable. ”

The corners of Lin Zitan's mouth lifted, and he shook his head with a smile and said.

"Oh, no, I think you have the most pleasant conversation with this buyer, don't you?" Xiao Zheng said suspiciously.

"What's the use of having a good conversation with him, it's not him who makes the decision in the end!"

Lin Zitan said that he raised his feet and walked to the office, thinking that he should think about whether he should accept the offers of several other companies!
