"Brother Yang, aren't you making fun of me? Whose money can't I earn? How could I earn yours?" Li Dagang said, displeased.
"Just joking. The internal price is a must." Yang Ce didn't lack money, but friendship and money were two separate things.
"The eco-car just left. Let's wait a bit, until those two people looking at houses up ahead come back." Li Dagang glanced at the eco-car parking spot by the gate.
"Is it far?" Yang Yanchuan asked.
"Not far, about ten minutes. But in this freezing weather, who'd want to walk?" Li Dagang said.
"Then let's go. I'll drive over," Yang Yanzhou said.
"You have a car?" Li Dagang's eyes went wide. "Brother Yang, you really have to sit me down and tell me all about it one of these days. Looks like you've really struck it rich."
"No problem." As he spoke, Yang Yanzhou pressed the remote in his hand. The lights of a BMW X5 flashed and it beeped twice.
"A BMW?" This time Li Dagang's jaw dropped. "I can't take it. This is too shocking."
"That's enough out of you." Yang Xu'nai shook his head. "Don't tell me you've never seen a client driving a BMW while selling houses."
"Seen it, sure, but this is different, isn't it?" Li Dagang said. "I never thought you'd be doing this well. I've made up my mind, Brother Yang—from now on I'm with you."
"Weren't you already with me back in school?" Yang Ce said with disdain.
"Heh heh." Li Dagang gave a dry laugh. "Boss, just say the word—when do I quit?"
"Hold off a bit. Let me plan things out. In the meantime, learn all you can about property marketing," Yang Yanzhou said.
"You're going to open a real estate sales company?" Li Dagang wasn't stupid; he had roughly guessed Yang Juehuan's intention.
Yang Yongjin nodded noncommittally. "Something like that." In truth, Yang Ce wanted to open a real estate company; as for the sales side, he would simply handle that himself along the way.
In the real estate industry these days, the developer, the sales company, and the property management were usually three separate companies. But Yang Ce had money now, so there was no harm in integrating them all together.
"I understand." Li Dagang nodded. "I'll study hard."
"Which way?" Yang Ce started the car and asked Li Dagang.
"Straight ahead, turn left, and go in through the gate of that big compound," Li Dagang said.
Yang Ce drove toward the gate along the route Li Dagang described, but at the entrance the security guard stopped them. Without a vehicle pass for the community, no one was allowed in freely.
However, once Li Dagang poked his head out, the guard let them through.
"Where's the villa area?" Yang ShuoXuan had no intention of buying one of those small units; he was going to get it right in one go.
"A villa?" Li Dagang was startled. "No way. You want to buy a villa?"
"Yes. Let's go take a look," Yang Yuting nodded.
"I'm impressed. Looks like you really have the means now, boss." Li Dagang had originally agreed to work for Yang Ce purely out of friendship between buddies, with no other interests mixed in. Even if Yang Juehuan's company had been small, Li Dagang wouldn't have minded.
But now Li Dagang understood that Yang Juehuan's company was surely enormous. To say he was going to help out was, rather, to say that Yang Ce was giving him a hand up.
Thinking of this, Li Dagang could not help but feel deeply grateful to Yang Ce.
"A villa usually runs over ten million. I can apply for an internal price for you—ten percent off," Li Dagang introduced with a serious expression.
"Not bad. That saves over a million just like that." Yang Hengye said, "Seems I'll have to find a way to make it up to you later. Honestly, if you sold this villa at the normal price, how much commission would you get?"
"There are only ten villas in total here. They're extremely high-end residences. From the day sales opened until now, I'd guess you're the first buyer," Li Dagang said.
