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

Su Wanqing demonstrated amazing adaptability and execution in Hangzhou.

Instead of rushing to rent a luxury office, she rented a small studio apartment of about 100 square meters in a mid-range office building near Wulin No. 1. It was clean, bright, and sufficient for the initial team.

The signboard is temporarily printed on a movable acrylic sheet: "Anjia Tianxia Real Estate Company Hangzhou Preparatory Office".

Team building was of paramount importance. Instead of large-scale recruitment, she focused on precise targeting. First, she transferred Xiao Wang, a young subordinate who had been with her the longest and was the most reliable, from Shanghai to handle internal administration and financial matters.

Next, leveraging the headhunting resources accumulated in Shanghai, we quickly interviewed four local job seekers with experience in high-end property, real estate brokerage, and hotel services. The four candidates, two men and two women, formed the core business team.

During the interview, Su Wanqing's questions went straight to the heart of the matter: how to handle demanding high-end tenants, how to establish standardized service processes, her views on the high-end rental market in Hangzhou, and the market conditions for second-hand housing transactions.

Within a single day, the core framework of the five-person team was established.

The next day, she led her core team members to meet with Hu Guohua of Zhejiang Land Real Estate and his engineering and property management teams to begin the inspection of 120 units in Wulin No. 1.

Her inspection checklist was outrageously detailed: brand and model of home appliances, smoothness of hardware, flatness of flooring, sealing of glass, unobstructed drainage... Any problems found were recorded on the spot, and rectification was required within a specified period.

Hu Guohua was initially a little impatient, but Su Wanqing's attitude was professional and firm, and every word she said made sense. Coupled with the invisible pressure from Lei Guoliang, he could only grit his teeth and make his subordinates cooperate fully.

"Mr. Su, your standards... are even stricter than what we set for the homeowners when we hand over the property." Hu Guohua's project manager wiped his sweat and smiled wryly.

"Precisely because it's for long-term rental, we need to be even more attentive to it than to our own property. Quality is the foundation of reputation and a guarantee of rental income." Su Wanqing's tone was calm, yet her statement left no room for argument.

"Mr. Hu promised to waive property management fees for three years, but basic maintenance must be in place; otherwise, there will be endless disputes, which will not benefit anyone."

At the same time, she had already begun to lay out her market strategy. On the one hand, she had her team create exquisite electronic brochures in both Chinese and English, as well as printed manuals, based on the characteristics of the properties, highlighting selling points such as the core area of ​​West Lake, fully furnished mansions, and five-star hotel-style services.

On the other hand, she personally visited several major foreign-invested enterprise offices, financial institutions, and well-known law firms in Hangzhou, submitting materials and establishing initial contacts through administrative or HR managers.

Instead of rushing things, she first appeared as a consultant providing high-end residential solutions to build familiarity.

In just one week, the acceptance and rectification of 120 apartments in Wulin No.1 were mostly completed, market warm-up quietly started, and the core team completed initial integration and training.

Its efficiency was so high that even Lei Guoliang, who was watching remotely, nodded in approval. This knife was getting faster and faster, and it was also becoming more adept at using skillful force.

On Friday evening, light snow began to fall again in Hangzhou. Su Wanqing finished processing the last email and rubbed her aching neck. Only she and Xiao Wang, who had been transferred from Shanghai, remained in the office.

"President Su, aren't you leaving yet? It seems like President Lei doesn't have any plans for tonight?" Xiao Wang asked cautiously.

She vaguely sensed that there was an aura between President Su and that young and mysterious President Lei that was different from that between ordinary superiors and subordinates.

"There's still some work to be done. You go first, be careful on the road," Su Wanqing said with a smile.

After Xiao Wang left, the office fell completely silent. Su Wanqing walked to the window and looked at the city lights outside, which were hazy with the color of snow.

I've been in Hangzhou for a week, so busy I've barely had time to properly explore the city, and I haven't had a chance to spend time alone with Lei Guoliang.

Aside from brief daily phone calls or text messages, the relationship between the two seemed to have reverted to a purely boss-subordinate dynamic.

But that dinner by West Lake, the slight touch of his fingertips when he served her food, the deep look in his eyes when he looked at her, and that "Thank you for your hard work"...

These details, like feathers, occasionally brush against the tip of the heart, bringing a subtle flutter and... a faint sense of melancholy.

She shook her head, trying to dispel these distracting thoughts. Just as she was about to turn off the light and leave, her phone rang. The words "General Manager Lei" appeared on the screen.

"Hey, Mr. Lei."

"Are you done with your work?" Lei Guoliang's voice came through the radio waves, less businesslike and cold than usual.

"Just finished. Do you have any instructions?"

"Come downstairs. I'm at the entrance of your office building," Lei Guoliang said, then hung up the phone.

Su Wanqing froze for a moment, her heart skipping a beat for no apparent reason. She walked to the window and looked down. Under the dim streetlights, snowflakes danced in the air. A black sedan was parked quietly in front of the building, and a tall figure leaned against the car door, his fingertip flickering a red star.

She quickly grabbed her coat and scarf, turned off the lights, locked the door, and stepped into the elevator. As the elevator descended, she looked at her slightly tired face in the mirror, yet it glowed with a hint of anticipation. Subconsciously, she straightened her hair and collar.

Stepping out of the building, the cold air, mixed with snowflakes, hit her in the face. Lei Guoliang stubbed out his cigarette and opened the back door of the car for her.

"Mr. Lei, where are we going?" Su Wanqing asked as she got into the warm car.

"Let's find a place to eat something hot. And while we're at it, let's hear your thoughts on this week." Lei Guoliang got into the driver's seat and started the car.

The car slowly glided into the traffic of the snowy night. Neither of them spoke; the only sounds inside were the low hum of the heater and the faint strains of jazz music from the radio.

The atmosphere was somewhat subtle, different from the crispness of work, and different from the subtle ambiguity of that night at the restaurant. It was more like... a moment of relaxation stolen from the busy schedule, a tacit understanding between the two.

Lei Guoliang drove deeper into West Lake to a private restaurant hidden near Yanggong Causeway.

The restaurant is small, with only a few private rooms. The quiet environment, steaming hot pot, and authentic Hangzhou cuisine dispel the chill.

After a few cups of warm rice wine, their bodies warmed up, and the conversation gradually became more relaxed. Su Wanqing gave a detailed report on the week's work progress, team status, and market feedback, and also frankly admitted to some minor obstacles encountered.

For example, Hu Guohua's initial lack of cooperation, and the local high-end rental market's natural wait-and-see attitude towards new brands.

Lei Guoliang listened quietly, occasionally interjecting with a question or two on a key point, but mostly just nodding.

He liked her clear and organized reporting style, which included both achievements and avoided problems.

"Well done, faster than I expected." After listening, Lei Guoliang gave his evaluation, raising his glass: "Thank you for your hard work."

Su Wanqing clinked glasses with him, took a small sip, and felt a slight warmth on her cheeks from the mellow aroma of the rice wine.

"It was you, Mr. Lei, who gave me the platform and the trust. I'm just trying my best to do things well."

"It's not just about doing things." Lei Guoliang looked at her, his gaze softer than usual under the warm yellow light of the private room.

"You are building a replicable system. Shanghai is doing it, and Hangzhou is doing it too. This is more important than simply achieving performance targets."

This was extremely high praise. Su Wanqing felt a warmth in her heart and was about to speak when Lei Guoliang changed the subject:

What are the differences between Hangzhou and Shanghai?

Su Wanqing thought for a moment: "Shanghai is more international, with clear rules and fierce but straightforward competition."

Hangzhou... values ​​human relationships more, there's more to it than meets the eye, the pace may seem slow, but there are many twists and turns.

"Just like this West Lake," she said, looking at the faint reflection of the lake outside the window, "its surface is calm and beautiful, but beneath it lies countless stories and intricate relationships."

"You see things clearly." Lei Guoliang nodded: "So here, you have to follow the rules, but you also have to understand the rules beyond the rules."

The way you handled Hu Guohua and the property management was excellent. It was a balance of firmness and gentleness, with the right measure.

His specific confirmation made Su Wanqing feel her face flush even more. She used the act of pouring wine to cover it up and asked, "Mr. Lei, are you... staying in Hangzhou, or going somewhere else?"

"Mingzhou." Lei Guoliang didn't hide anything: "There's also a chance there. With you in Hangzhou, I'm at ease. Shanghai, Beijing, Guangzhou, and Hangzhou—these four points are basically secured now. We can connect them into a line and then expand them into a broader area."
