Chapter 970

Inside the restaurant.

Seeing that Chen Li seemed to have something on her mind, Lu Weiwei also asked her curiously, "What's wrong with you?"

"It's okay, it's just that the performance has not been good recently. Some customers checked out after booking a room, and then they clamored for a refund of the deposit that was originally non-refundable, which is annoying."

After finishing speaking, Chen Li picked up the tea on the table and poured it for Gu Chen and Lu Weiwei.

Gu Chen asked her curiously: "Isn't the deposit generally non-refundable? Isn't it stated in the contract?"

In Gu Chen's understanding, after booking a room, the deposit is generally non-refundable, which is stated in the real estate sales contract.

Of course, some deposits can be refunded, but both parties need to sign a contract after discussing it, and it needs to be specified in the contract.

But usually, the former is the majority.

Chen Li also nodded silently: "Of course I know that. In our business, there are many customers who regret after booking a room. Although the deposit is stated in the contract that the deposit will not be refunded, they make a big fuss. We usually deduct 5000 to 1 fee, and the rest will be returned to the customer.”

"Isn't that good? At least earn some handling fees, and the buyers will also pay for their own regrets, and everyone will not lose much." Lu Weiwei feels that commercial housing transactions seem to be the same rules.

Chen Li shook her head with a smile, and said involuntarily, "If this is a newly opened property, it would be fine. If you don't want it, I can sell it to someone else."

"But our real estate is basically close to liquidation. It's just some remaining end-of-life real estate, and there are some minor flaws."

"In addition, our third phase has not yet started construction. We have to wait for the new real estate to open. It is estimated that we will drink northwest wind in the past few months."

Gu Chen looked at the work badge on Chen Li's chest, and asked her curiously, "So, the second phase of your real estate is basically sold out, and now it's all cleared?"

"Yeah." Chen Li nodded silently, and said in distress: "If this is a newly opened real estate, it would be so comfortable for us to make money lying down, and the customers who booked the room would rush in."

"But now there are not many houses left, and the third phase of the new real estate has not been moved for a long time. The developer is also hanging on our sales team to make a big deal for us."

"We are always told that the construction of the third phase will start soon, and the main reason is to stabilize our sales team."

Listening to Chen Li's remarks, Lu Weiwei also nodded silently.

It feels like selling a building is the same as selling goods.

When the market opened, the goods were sufficient, and customers had a lot of choice.

But when it comes to the end of the clearance, there are some out-of-stock products, and it is really difficult to choose matching customers.

Therefore, this period of time is also the most depressing time for the real estate sales team.

Lu Weiwei asked Chen Li: "How about your cousin's girlfriend, how is she doing?"

"Not very clear." Chen Li shook her head, but said mysteriously: "But her real estate must be better than ours."

"Because the real estate on her side has just opened recently, and the sales have been good all the time. Many of our salesmen want to switch jobs to go there."

Looking out of the window, Chen Li also smiled mysteriously: "I came here for dinner today, and I also called to invite my cousin's girlfriend, just to see what's going on with her."

"If the income is good, based on my experience, I feel that I should be able to sell quite a few houses."

"Pfft." Lu Weiwei almost laughed out loud, but she tried her best to ask her, "So your cousin's girlfriend will come over for dinner tonight?"

"Yes." Chen Li said without any concealment: "That's what I mean, but I can't be too direct, so I invite you to come over together, so as to cover for me."

"I see."

Lu Weiwei also instantly understood the reason, and it was no wonder that Chen Li brought everyone to this elegant restaurant, which seemed to be a good intention.

Especially those gifts brought from the capital, it seems that they borrow flowers to present Buddha.

Chen Li ordered some dishes, then made a phone call to inquire, and then reported to Gu Chen and Lu Weiwei with satisfaction: "She will come right away."

"Well, there's no rush, let's eat together when she comes over." Gu Chen likes the soothing music in the restaurant.

Although the number of diners is increasing, the style of the music makes the restaurant less noisy.

Not long after, a young woman in business attire hurried into the restaurant.

After looking around for a week, she called Chen Li.

When Chen Li saw the call, she didn't answer it, but found the young woman who was looking for her.

Then Chen Li waved to the woman: "I'm here."

"I'm sorry, the company had a meeting just now, so I wasted some time." The young woman hurried over.

Chen Li made room for her, and said with a smile, "It's okay, just be busy, the busier you are, the more money you make."

"It would be great if I could make money. I feel that I am too tired recently and I haven't earned any money."

The young woman took the glass of water that Chen Li poured for her, and only then did she notice Gu Chen and Lu Weiwei who were opposite.

She was startled for a moment, and then asked Chen Li: "Are these two your friends?"

"To be precise, it should be my cousin's friend." Chen Li looked at her pretending to be mysterious, and with a light smile, she took out the gift in her hand and said, "My cousin bought these for you in the capital. Because he has a temporary mission and can't come to Jiangnan City, so he entrusted his colleagues who are studying together in the capital to bring it to you when he comes back."

"Liao Huaqiang's colleague?" The young woman frowned slightly, looked at Gu Chen and Lu Weiwei who were opposite, and nodded to them with a smile on her face: "Hello, I'm He Siya, nice to meet you."

"I'm Gu Chen from the third criminal investigation team of the Furong Branch."

"I'm Lu Weiwei from the Criminal Investigation Team [-] of the Furong Branch."

The two also self-declared their families.

He Siya smiled lightly and said, "It seems that you are all policemen? Then you must not have many vacations?"

Gu Chen nodded slightly: "That's right, there are indeed very few holidays, and they often work overtime."

"That's right." He Siya took a sip of tea, and said without any surprises: "Liao Huaqiang often told me that he would come to Jiangnan City to see me when he had time, but he missed the appointment every time. , It’s the third time I’ve released my pigeons.”

"Isn't that too much?" How could my cousin be like this?Chen Li also felt unfair for He Siya: "Then next time he comes over, we will teach him a lesson together."

"Forget it." Hearing that Chen Li wanted to teach Liao Huaqiang a lesson, He Siya was immediately discouraged and said, "He is really busy at work, and I don't want to disturb him. Anyway, I'm used to it. When the sales here are about the same, I will go back to Haidong City."

Hearing He Siya's remarks, Chen Li immediately asked her insinuatingly: "By the way, He Siya, how is the sales of your real estate over there? I heard that the sales are very good. You should have made a lot of money, right?"

"Make money?" He Siya shrank back, and quickly waved her hands in denial: "It's definitely not like what you said, I'm almost starving to death, and if I continue to sell like this, I guess I will have to fight with the northwest wind."

"No way?" Gu Chen glanced at Lu Weiwei beside him, and asked He Siya curiously, "I heard from Chen Li that the real estate over there is very tight, so it's not an exaggeration to say that you will starve to death, right?"

"That's right? Are you afraid that the houses in the authentic school district won't be sold?" Lu Weiwei also felt that it was impossible, so she hurriedly asked her, "By the way, what's the name of your real estate?"

"Famous school." He Siya said.

"Then it's even more impossible to worry about sales." Gu Chen thought it was an ordinary real estate before.

But hearing what He Siya said, it didn't feel like that in an instant.

So Gu Chen said again: "I know this place, the property price is high, but there are many people who buy it. In our community, we go there alone to buy a house. It's hard to find a house on a good floor."

"Yes, yes, the real estate in that place is good, how could you starve to death?" Chen Li wanted to work there, but after hearing He Siya's words, she immediately hesitated.

He Siya took a sip of tea, and said involuntarily: "You are right, the real estate in this place is in short supply, but I wonder why I am so poor, but those sales are making a lot of money Woolen cloth?"

As if realizing that she was speaking too loudly, He Siya lowered her tone, bowed forward, and said cautiously:
"Let me tell you, our sales manager had only 3 yuan in savings when he joined the job. In just a few years, he bought a house for himself and helped his sister pay 40 yuan. Great, right?"

"So awesome?" Chen Li's eyes straightened when she heard the words: "If I can have this ability, wouldn't I be so excited?"

He Siya shook her head: "If you really think he got it legally, then you are thinking too much."

"Could the sales manager be doing illegal activities?" Feeling that He Siya had something to say, Gu Chen suddenly asked her curiously.

He Siya hesitated for a moment, she seemed a little hesitant, as if she didn't dare to tell Gu Chenming.

Lu Weiwei also saw what He Siya was thinking, so she hurriedly asked: "He Siya, just tell me what you want? We are the police, so are we afraid that we will not be able to make decisions for you?"

"That's right, He Siya, can you just tell me? What is your manager's situation? You can buy a house in a few years, and you can help your sister pay 40 yuan for the house purchase. I feel that this is too amazing."

As a colleague, Chen Li didn't seem to have heard of such an expert in a prestigious university, and felt that she was a fool in the real estate industry.

He Siya frowned slightly, and said involuntarily, "Okay, then I'll talk about it."

During the conversation, all the dishes of the restaurant were presented.

Chen Li picked up the chopsticks and said with a light smile, "Let's talk while eating, let's start."

He Siya stuffed a piece of beef into her mouth, took a few sips and said, "In my opinion, our sales manager's tricks are mainly due to the tea fee."

"Tea fee?" Gu Chen didn't seem to understand the term, what does the real estate industry have to do with tea fee?
Lu Weiwei also looked puzzled and said, "Could it be that your manager also opened a tea shop and made money by introducing customers to drink tea in the shop?"

"Haha, that's not what it means." He Siya felt that Gu Chen and Lu Weiwei were a bit of a layman, as if they didn't understand her meaning at all.

But as an expert, Chen Li seemed to understand a little bit, she just nodded silently and didn't speak.

Gu Chen was curious, so he asked again: "Then what do you mean by the 'tea fee' you mentioned? The tea fee can make your manager buy a house in a few years?"

"Hmm." He Siya took the juice poured by Chen Li, took a sip, and then said: "At first, I didn't know too well. After all, we are the same sales company, and we have different sales groups."

"The sales manager I mentioned actually has a group of relatives under him who are also in sales. They teamed up to undertake many sales tasks."

"If it wasn't for her sister showing off that the manager helped her pay 40 yuan for the purchase of the house some time ago, I'm still in the dark, and I don't know about their so-called 'tea fee' tricks, and they finally revealed it."

"The tea fee is so profitable?" Lu Weiwei felt incredible.

But Chen Li nodded: "Maybe you don't do real estate business, and you don't know many things. Usually, good real estate will have this so-called tea fee, just like buying a luxury car. Sometimes you have money. It may not be possible to pick out the luxury car you like right away.”

"Yes, Chen Li's analogy is very appropriate." He Siya also put down her chopsticks, crossed her hands, and explained to the two of them lying on the table.

"Didn't I say that? Our manager not only bought the house for himself, but also helped his sister pay for it by extorting a huge 'tea fee' from the house buyers."

"Besides, he also uses the 'tea fee' to repay the monthly car loan. More than ten salespeople in the company are all relatives of themselves."

"They usually take advantage of the site sales manager's job convenience in housing sales control and the salesperson's job convenience in housing sales during the real estate sales period to ask customers for additional 'tea fees'."

After thinking about it, He Siya said again: "It usually ranges from 6000 yuan to 48 yuan."

"So much?" Hearing He Siya's words, Lu Weiwei was stunned: "So, if I want to buy a house I want, I have to pay an extra 48 at most to get it?"

"En." He Siya nodded silently, and said, "Otherwise? Why do you think those houses that are easy to sell are suddenly sold out? Actually, there are many ways."

"Let me tell you this, our manager and his team of relatives have accumulatively claimed more than 400 million yuan."

"Tsk tsk, it's really crazy. No wonder he can buy a house for a few years, and cooperating with this 'tea fee' is so easy to make money?" Lu Weiwei felt a bit overturned.

At least from my own point of view, this kind of sunny industry can actually have such nasty behavior.

Gu Chen also nodded frequently: "I only now know why it is so difficult for the people in our community to buy a house. It turns out that these people are making troubles?"

"Yes." He Siya nodded silently, continuing to eat the dishes on the plate.

Gu Chen immediately put down his chopsticks, pondered for a moment, and then asked He Siya: "Then according to you, as long as I pay the tea fee, I can buy a suitable house?"

"It's almost the same reason." He Siya seemed to be extremely hungry, and a glass of drink quickly drained.

So Gu Chen quickly filled her up.

"Thank you." He Siya smiled lightly, and continued: "Actually, a few days ago, there was a Ms. Zhang who was planning to buy a house, and she was looking around for houses."

"In the middle of last month, she heard that our real estate was in short supply, so she hurried to the sales office to make an appointment."

"But it was our manager who received her at that time. The manager's relatives told that Ms. Zhang that there is no house available now. If the customers who have already purchased are willing to transfer, he will help that Ms. Zhang to pay attention."

"But there are prerequisites, that is, you may need to add a little money."

"So straightforward?" Chen Li had a complicated expression when she heard that.

He Siya nodded silently, and said with a serious face, "I also feel very confused. Originally, there were houses for sale, but all the good properties are in their hands."

"And do you know? This Ms. Zhang actually thinks that the original client should transfer the house and add some money. She didn't object. She went home and waited for the 'good news' from those people."

"However, these people deliberately delayed for two days, and then called Ms. Zhang, saying that there is a house customer who wants to transfer, but an additional 12 yuan fee for name change is required."

"And I also specially took care of this Ms. Zhang. The 12 yuan needs to be paid in cash to the transfer customer."

"Then this Ms. Zhang really gave 12?" Lu Weiwei asked curiously.

He Siya nodded: "Of course, this kind of good real estate is generally very scarce. If you buy it, you will basically earn it. There is no such thing as a price reduction."

"So that Ms. Zhang thought about it, and felt that she could accept the addition of 12, so she completed the transfer through Alipay."

"As a result, a week later, that Ms. Zhang signed a house purchase contract with our real estate company."

"Afterwards, our sales manager took 6 yuan from it, and the rest was divided among the sales team where his relatives belonged."

"In this way, many home buyers in our real estate, like this Ms. Zhang, can only buy houses by increasing the price."

"In one of the houses I know, the highest buyer paid 48 yuan for 'tea fee', but all the money went into the pockets of these people."

After Gu Chen listened carefully to He Siya's narration, he finally expressed his opinion: "I think this group of people are taking advantage of the convenience of the case sales manager's position in controlling the sales of houses, and the sales staff's attention to the sale of houses. Taking advantage of one's position, extorting other people's property, and seeking benefits for others are all huge amounts."

"And this kind of behavior has constituted the crime of accepting bribes by non-state employees, and the circumstances are very serious."

He Siya was stunned, and quickly asked Gu Chen, "Will you be sentenced?"

Gu Chen nodded slightly, and said truthfully: "Based on the situation you provided, and the amount of property these people demanded, I estimate that the most serious ones may be sentenced to more than 5 years, and the lighter ones may be sentenced to 1 year and 6 months. Wait."

"So serious?" He Siya hesitated suddenly, and said nervously: "I have a colleague who has a good relationship with them, and they are in the same group."

"Usually she's a nice person. I originally wanted to sue them, but it seems that they all have to be sentenced."

He Siya put down her chopsticks, and rubbed her cheeks hard, a little confused: "I don't know what the consequences will be if I report it?"

She glanced at Gu Chen, and quickly asked again: "Then Officer Gu, is there any remedy?"

"There are." Gu Chen nodded slightly, and gave a suggestion: "Refund the 'tea fee' voluntarily, and promise to sell honestly in the future, and maybe you can get some leniency. After all, this kind of illegal activity, don't think that the law Can't handle it."

"Okay." After hearing Gu Chen's words, He Siya hurriedly said again: "Then I will talk to my friend today, and I feel that she should not get much money for tea, so I want her to rein in the precipice."
