Get rich quick starting with buying a house with zero down payment

He knew the prey's location and its fatal wound. The next step was to approach and deliver that fatal, or life-saving, blow.

He walked to the window and gazed at the dazzling lights across the Huangpu River. Ji Fanyin had sent a text message that afternoon, saying that everything was fine in Shenzhen, the Anjia Tianxia signboard had been hung up, and they were training the newly recruited sales staff these past two days.

He replied, "Very good, take care and get some rest," and then said nothing more. At this moment, he needed to devote all his attention to this opening battle in Shanghai.

At nine o'clock in the morning, Lei Guoliang changed into a well-made casual outfit to make himself look more like a successful young businessman than a speculator.

He got into a taxi again, destination: Lianyang New City sales office.

The sales office is located in the podium building facing the street of the project. It is decorated in a very grand style, with marble floors that are so shiny they reflect light, and a huge model that shines under the spotlights.

But the place was deserted. A few sales staff were chatting idly behind the reception desk. When someone came in, they just lazily raised their eyelids. Only one woman, who looked a little older and wore a sales vice director badge, looked up from behind the computer in the corner and her eyes met Lei Guoliang's.

Lei Guoliang ignored the salespeople chatting and went straight to the model, looking at it by himself.

He looked very carefully, occasionally measuring the distance between buildings with his hands and observing the orientation and apartment layout.

His focus and composure gradually caught the attention of the sales vice president.

She closed her laptop, got up, and walked over. Only then did Lei Guoliang get a clear look at her: she was about twenty-seven or twenty-eight years old, with a classic oval face, exquisite makeup, her long hair tied into a neat bun at the back of her head, wearing a well-fitting dark gray suit skirt, and a tall and straight posture.

What is most striking are her eyes—bright, sharp, with a professional scrutiny, yet also revealing a hint of barely perceptible fatigue.

"Sir, would you like to view a property? I am Su Wanqing, the Deputy Sales Director here." Her voice was clear and crisp, her Mandarin was standard, with a subtle hint of the soft Wu dialect at the end, which was very pleasant to listen to.

"Just taking a look." Lei Guoliang nodded, his gaze still fixed on the sand table: "I heard your sand table is in a good location."

"Yes, our project is located in the core of Lianyang International Community. The planned station of the future Metro Line X is just 300 meters away from the door. The surrounding commercial and school facilities are also being rapidly improved."

Su Wanqing introduced the product skillfully, her tone professional, but lacking the usual enthusiastic salesmanship.

"Currently, the main buildings for sale are Buildings A and B, both of which are ready for immediate occupancy and delivered fully furnished. Apartment types range from 70 square meters (two bedrooms) to 130 square meters (three bedrooms). Which type do you prefer?"

Lei Guoliang remained noncommittal, pointing to buildings A and B on the model facing the street: "How many of these two buildings, with their south-facing small to medium-sized apartments, ranging from 70 to 90 square meters, are still unsold?"

A hint of surprise flashed in Su Wanqing's eyes. When ordinary people look at houses, they either ask about the price or the details of the floor plan. It's rare for someone to be so precise and directly ask about the availability of a specific type of property.

She quickly did some mental calculations and replied, "The south-facing units in Buildings A and B, ranging from 70 to 90 square meters, mainly units 02 and 03, add up to approximately... about 120 units. You asked about this because…"

"One hundred and twenty sets..." Lei Guoliang seemed thoughtful, finally shifting his gaze from the sand table to Su Wanqing's face, looking directly into her eyes. "If I take them all, how much will it cost?"

"All...all of them?!" Even with her vast experience, Su Wanqing was speechless with shock at this question. The salespeople chatting nearby also stopped talking and looked over in astonishment. All of them? One hundred and twenty sets? Is this guy crazy or just looking for trouble?

Su Wanqing quickly regained her composure. Her professionalism prevented her from showing any further loss of composure, but the suspicion and scrutiny in her eyes intensified.

"Sir, you're not joking, are you? One hundred and twenty units, that's no small number. Besides, our development doesn't currently offer such a large group purchase discount."

She paused, then added, "If you are representing a company or organization, you may need to communicate directly with our General Manager Zhou."

"President Zhou? Boss Zhou?" Lei Guoliang asked.

"Yes, it's Chairman Zhou from our development company."

"Okay." Lei Guoliang nodded, took out the plain white card with only his name and phone number printed on it from his inner pocket, and handed it to Su Wanqing, saying, "My surname is Lei, and I come from Shenzhen."

"Please ask Director Su to convey to Boss Zhou that I am interested in the remaining 120 apartments in Buildings A and B, but the price and payment method need to be discussed with him in person. I live in Room 1108 of the Waldorf Astoria. I'll be waiting for his call this afternoon or evening."

After saying that, without waiting for Su Wanqing's reaction, he nodded slightly, turned around and left, his steps steady and without the slightest hesitation.

Su Wanqing held the high-quality card, which only bore Lei Guoliang's name and a phone number, and stood there stunned, watching the young man's figure disappear through the door.

The card seemed to still retain a trace of warmth. A madman? Unlikely. His certainty and commanding presence couldn't be faked. A conman? What could he be conning? What could he possibly gain from meeting the boss?

"Sister Su, who is this person? Why is he so arrogant?" A young salesperson came over and asked curiously.

Su Wanqing shook her head and carefully put the card into her suit pocket: "I don't know. But... he doesn't seem like a normal person. I'll go call President Zhou."

She walked to a quiet corner and dialed Boss Zhou's cell phone. The other end was noisy, and Boss Zhou's voice sounded irritable and impatient: "Xiao Su, what's up? Another customer complaint?"

"Mr. Zhou, this isn't a complaint. A customer just came in, surnamed Lei, from Shenzhen."

He said…” Su Wanqing carefully chose her words: “He is interested in the remaining 120 apartments in our Buildings A and B, and would like to discuss the price and payment method with you in person. This is the contact information he left.”

"How many?! One hundred and twenty sets?!" Boss Zhou's voice suddenly rose, and the background noise seemed to fall silent for a moment: "Are you sure? You're not joking? Who is it?"

"He looked very young, not even thirty. His demeanor wasn't like that of an ordinary person. He directly asked about the inventory, then left his phone number and left. He was staying at the Waldorf Astoria," Su Wanqing reported truthfully.

There was a few seconds of silence on the other end of the phone before Boss Zhou's voice came through again, less irritated and more urgent and... hopeful: "Waldorf? Okay, I got it."

Send me his phone number. I'll contact him later. Xiao Su, you're handling this client, keep a close eye on him!

After hanging up the phone, Su Wanqing leaned against the wall, her mind reeling. One hundred and twenty sets… If it really worked out, even at a lower price per unit, it would instantly bring in tens of millions of yuan, enough to solve the company's biggest crisis right now!

Who exactly is that young man named Lei Guoliang? Is he really here to save the day, or... does he have ulterior motives?

She subconsciously touched the card in her pocket; the hard texture inexplicably made her heart beat a few beats faster.

Waldorf, Room 1108.

Lei Guoliang stood by the floor-to-ceiling window, holding a cup of black tea delivered by the hotel. He was waiting. Waiting for Boss Zhou's call, and also waiting for Su Wanqing to process the shock she had just experienced.

He deliberately made a strong first impression, a huge, undeniable lure. Now, it was up to the fish to take the bait.

He was also evaluating Su Wanqing. She was professional, calm, and had good adaptability. Even in that desperate atmosphere, she maintained her professionalism and seemed to be one of the few who was still genuinely thinking about her work.

He's a valuable asset. But whether he's qualified to become another key figure in Shanghai remains to be seen, and... will require further observation and a test.

The phone rang, but it wasn't Boss Zhou; it was an unfamiliar local landline.

"Hello, is this Mr. Lei? This is Zhou Jianguo from Lianyang!" Boss Zhou's voice was so enthusiastic it was almost exaggerated; you could almost picture his smiling face through the receiver.

"I heard from Xiao Su that you're very interested in our property development? Wow, you have excellent taste! When would be a convenient time for you? I'd love to come and visit you right away. Or, I could arrange a place for us to eat and chat?"

Lei Guoliang glanced at his watch; it was 3 PM. "Mr. Zhou, you're too kind. I'm new here, so let me pay you a visit in person. I'll be at your company in an hour. Is that convenient?"

"Convenient! So convenient! I'll be waiting for you at the company! I look forward to your arrival!"

After hanging up the phone, Lei Guoliang put down his teacup. The fish had eagerly taken the bait. The real confrontation was yet to come.
