I met my whole family through Baidu Tieba.

Section 28: An Unprecedented Housekeeping Company

A few days ago, when that excessively young CEO Shen came to Fan Cheng's door, Fan Cheng actually did not intend to accept the other party's cooperation request.

Fan Cheng has a relative who also runs a housekeeping business with his wife.

Fan Cheng introduced many customers from the neighborhood to his relative and received a lot of kickbacks from them. Naturally, he didn't intend for anyone to compete with his relative for business.

However, the young man named Shen Kang offered some conditions that appealed to Fan Cheng: Shen Kang said that their housekeeping company would not do housekeeping, but only cleaning!

Fan Cheng had brought in quite a few customers and was quite knowledgeable about the housekeeping industry. He knew that most housekeepers were now doing third-party housekeeping and rarely did cleaning. His relative was like that.

If Shen Kang only does cleaning and not becomes the third sister-in-law, then it won't conflict with his relatives' business at all! Fan Cheng can easily make money from both sides.

So Fan Cheng made a special trip to inspect Shen Kang's store, looked at Shen Kang's promotional materials, and Shen Kang even arranged a special on-site service session for him.

Fan Cheng eventually confirmed that this strange company did indeed only do cleaning services.

Fan Cheng immediately made the decision and agreed to cooperate.

He came to the guard post today to check if the Anjia company's business was progressing well, since he gets 50 yuan for each new customer he brings in.

However, the current situation is not good.

Fan Cheng personally took on the role of salesperson, trying to sell to four passing homeowners, but failed to close a single deal.

Just then, another middle-aged man came out of the residential area carrying an empty grocery basket. Fan Chengli immediately greeted him with a smile, "Manager Zhang, are you buying groceries today?"

"It's my day off today, so I'll share the workload," Manager Zhang said cheerfully. He noticed the signboard next to him and the flyers on a table, and asked curiously, "Manager Fan, what's this?"

"This is an advertisement for a housekeeping company. This company only does cleaning services, and I've tried their services before. To be honest, I've never seen anything like it before. It's professional and clean! And since they just opened, they've partnered with our property management. If you have our flyer, you get a 50 yuan discount on your first order. It's a great deal!" Fan Cheng said enthusiastically.

Manager Zhang looked at the descriptions on the signboard and seemed somewhat interested: "Only 60 for the first order?"

Seeing this, Fan Cheng immediately handed over a flyer, "Take this flyer about our property management cooperation. Give it to them later to get a 50 discount. Manager Zhang, would you like one? It's okay if you don't need it, but it'll save you from having to come back for more if you do."

Manager Zhang readily agreed, saying, "Let's take one then."

After Manager Zhang left, Fan Cheng thought to himself that this deal should be done, and his spirits lifted. After waiting for a while longer, he successfully developed another promising client.

Basically, out of 10 people, 2 are interested.

This ratio reassured Fan Cheng and even tempted him: Tianfuyuan has about 2600 households. If the ratio is the same, even if each order is only 50 yuan, which is less than what his relatives give, the total amount is still huge! Even if only one-tenth of the residents purchase the resettlement service, he can still get more than 10,000 yuan! That's more than two months' salary for him as a property manager.

Although the kickbacks from my relative's business with my sister-in-law were higher, the amount was far less, so there was no comparison.

After figuring out the situation, Fan Cheng stopped squatting there and directly instructed the security guard: "Xiao Lü, you saw how I did it, you do the same. For every new customer you bring in, I'll give you 5 yuan. You're just sitting here idly anyway, might as well earn some extra money."

The security guard, Xiao Lü, was overjoyed. "Manager Fan, don't worry, I'll definitely promote it more!"

"Okay, I'll be going now."

After Manager Fan left, security guard Xiao Lü enthusiastically promoted his services to every resident he passed – obviously, he got 5 yuan for each new customer! If he got 100, that would be 50 yuan! Enough to buy a cheap cell phone.

Meanwhile, Manager Zhang had already finished buying groceries and returned home.

He's off work today, but he has a lot of tasks to do, so his wife asked him to do a thorough cleaning of the house.

Manager Zhang had a day off and was thinking of going fishing in the afternoon, but if he spent the whole day cleaning, it would be a waste, and he wouldn't have time to go fishing at all.

So he dug out that flyer and started looking at it again.

"30 visual standards? Inspectors come to your home to check the quality of your caregivers' services? And there's a company website where you can order online?"

Manager Zhang hadn't looked at it carefully before, but now the more he looks at it, the more interested he becomes.

He had used cleaning services before, but he had never seen a company like this before, so he simply grabbed the flyer and went to his study.

His daughter was using his computer to chat online.

"Little Fish, stop chatting for now, Dad needs to check something."

After shooing his daughter aside, Manager Zhang opened his browser, entered the website address, and a simple website appeared.

Unlike the mainstream websites that cram every corner of the page with content, this website is very simple. The white page has some light blue decorations, the left side of the page is mostly an introduction to the company's business, and there is a login box and a registration button on the right side.

Manager Zhang is a frequent computer user, so he quickly registered an account. After logging in, he found that the new user interface was still very simple, with selectable services and a clear ordering process.

At the very bottom, there is another line of text: Online banking system will be launched soon, please stay tuned.

"The design is very stylish and it's comfortable to use. The designers at this company are quite impressive," Manager Zhang thought to himself before using it.

He filled in his home address and the size of his house, checked the "routine cleaning service" box, and then checked the "whole house cleaning" option. The page automatically displayed the cost of this service—110 yuan. There was also a note next to it saying that this was the original price, and if the user had an offline discount, they could use it when the inspector came to collect the service fee.

However, what surprised Manager Zhang the most among this information was the "service hours" option.

Here, you can not only book a cleaning service within a week, but also have a cleaner come immediately, with the fastest service taking only half an hour!

This is yet another place that defies Manager Zhang's expectations.

He simply skipped ordering online and called the number on the flyer. "Is this Anjia Housekeeping?... "

After asking the person on the other end of the phone, Manager Zhang confirmed that they could indeed send someone to provide service immediately! According to Manager Zhang's address, they would arrive in half an hour.

That's great! The cleaning staff can hurry up and finish their work, while I cook and prepare lunch for my daughter. Then I can go fishing in the afternoon!

Manager Zhang was very excited.

But then, the person on the other end of the phone suddenly asked a strange question: "Mr. Zhang, since you are our company's first client, our photographer would like to come and photograph our staff at work as a memento. Would you be willing to do so? As compensation, we'll give you a 50% discount on this order!"

Manager Zhang was taken aback and immediately asked, "I have a flyer from our community's property management office that says there's a 50 yuan discount. Can that be combined with what you're saying now?"

"Yes, Mr. Zhang."

张经理更开心了:110-50-50=10,他直接一单10块,就买到了一次保洁服务!四捨五入相当于不要钱。

He made a fortune, while this company lost a fortune!
