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

Shen Mo's "Double Hundred Stores" plan made amazing progress in April. Forty new stores opened in Guangzhou and Shenzhen, a speed that shocked the industry.

The market share of a long-established local real estate agency in Guangzhou has been significantly eroded, and the person in charge privately said that he would teach Anjia Tianxia a lesson.

Shen Mo was oblivious, reveling in the thrill of expansion and the excitement of growing power. But she failed to notice that the cracks in her management, created by this rapid pace, were widening.

The opening of a new store requires a huge amount of cash flow. Although the headquarters budget has been gradually allocated, Shen Mo has adopted a more aggressive financial strategy on some projects in order to pursue the ultimate speed and scale.

Extend supplier payment terms and increase employee performance bonuses, but delay the payment of some bonuses and even encourage store managers to use their personal credit for short-term cash flow for stores.

...These operations may not be immediately apparent in the reports, but the risks are accumulating.

Even more serious is the personnel issue. The newly promoted store managers lack competence and, in order to meet performance targets, have begun to engage in irregular practices.

At a newly opened high-end residential property store in Shenzhen, a real estate agent privately promised clients that he could bypass certain restrictions and charge high service fees. As a result, the client complained to the housing and construction department, and the media also began to pay attention.

The matter was first discovered by Lu Chaoyang's risk control committee through a mystery shopper. When the report reached Lei Guoliang's desk, the incident was still in its early stages.

Lei Guoliang's face darkened after reading the report. He immediately dialed Shen Mo's number; it was 11 p.m.

The phone rang for a long time before being answered; the background noise was somewhat loud, as if someone was at a dinner party.

"President Lei?" Shen Mo's voice carried a hint of laziness and surprise.

"Where are you?" Lei Guoliang asked, his voice devoid of emotion.

"I'm having dinner with some leaders from Shenzhen Bank to discuss the follow-up loan..." Shen Mo explained.

"Finish this immediately and go back to the company. I'll be waiting for you in my office," Lei Guoliang said before hanging up.

An hour later, Shen Mo rushed to Lei Guoliang's office, still smelling faintly of alcohol, but her eyes were clear. She saw the report on Lei Guoliang's desk regarding the violations of the Shenzhen store, and her heart sank.

"Explain," Lei Guoliang said, uttering only two words.

Shen Mo quickly finished reading the report and broke out in a cold sweat.

"I just found out about this; my subordinates covered it up. I took immediate action: the agent involved was fired, the store manager was dismissed, an apology and compensation were issued to the client, and the damage was mitigated..."

"Handle it?" Lei Guoliang interrupted her, his gaze sharp as a knife: "Shen Mo, what I want is not to deal with it after the fact! What I want is to know why this happened!"

"Are your 100-store plan to open stores under Anjia Tianxia's brand, or stores that will tarnish Anjia Tianxia's reputation?!"

He stood up, walked up to Shen Mo, and said in a low voice, but each word was as firm as a hammer: "I gave you the largest territory, the most resources, and the highest trust."

Is this how you repay me? Using speed to cover up management loopholes, using performance figures to numb your sense of risk? For your goal of 100 stores, you've even abandoned the company's bottom line?!

Shen Mo's face turned pale from the scolding. He bit his lip and stubbornly looked up: "President Lei, I know I was wrong. I will immediately rectify the situation and strengthen risk control."

But the market opportunities in Guangzhou and Shenzhen wait for no one. If we slow down, our competitors will pounce...

"So you dare to cross the line?!" Lei Guoliang suddenly raised his voice, unusually angry: "Shen Mo! Let me tell you, Anjia Tianxia can take its time, but it absolutely cannot collapse!"

Today you dare to circumvent some red lines for the sake of sales targets, tomorrow you'll dare to sell the same property multiple times to collect payments! The day after tomorrow, will you dare to cheat and rob?! Is this doing business, or courting death?!

Shen Mo was stunned. She had never seen Lei Guoliang so angry. Her eyes instantly reddened, not from feeling wronged, but from lingering fear.

Lei Guoliang took a deep breath, forcing himself to calm down. He walked back to his seat and said in a deep voice, "The store in Shenzhen must be closed immediately for rectification."

Conduct a comprehensive risk assessment of all newly opened stores in the South China region. You will personally lead the team. Submit the assessment report to me within one week.

Also, your stock option grant for this year is postponed. I'll see how you perform next.

This is an extremely severe punishment. Shen Mo swayed slightly and said in a low voice, "Yes, President Lei. I accept."

"Get out." Lei Guoliang waved his hand, no longer looking at her.

Shen Mo walked out of the office, looking lost and dejected. The corridor was deserted in the dead of night, and her pale face was reflected on the cold marble floor.

She knew that Lei Guoliang was truly angry this time, and truly disappointed in her. The vanity and pleasure brought by speed vanished instantly, leaving only cold fear and heavy reflection.

She returned to her temporary office, closed the door, slid down to the floor against the door, and buried her face in her knees.

She didn't cry, she just felt tired, a kind of tiredness that seeped into her bones.

She was so eager to prove herself, so eager to surpass Su Wanqing, so eager to live up to the stage Lei Guoliang had given her, but she almost ruined everything.

After some time, my phone vibrated. It was a message from Lei Guoliang, containing only one short sentence:

"Remember the pain this time. The road ahead is long."

Looking at those seven words, Shen Mo finally shed tears. This time, it was a mixture of grievance and relief. The fact that he was still willing to remind her meant that he hadn't given up on her.

She wiped away her tears, stood up, turned on her computer, and began drafting the "Comprehensive Investigation and Rectification Plan for Business Risks in South China".

That night, the light in Shen Mo's office at the company headquarters stayed on until dawn.

Unlike Shen Mo's dire situation, Han Mei's April was thriving. The large-scale demolition compensation deal in Beijing's eastern district was progressing smoothly; the first batch of over fifty households had already completed their home purchases through Anjia Tianxia, ​​and commissions were pouring in.

Her reputation in Beijing and her trustworthy image were firmly established, and demolition projects in other districts began to approach her.

What makes her even more proud is that she spearheaded the successful opening of the first batch of stores in Chang'an and Hohhot. Although the scale is not large, it marks the official entry of Anjia Tianxia's flag into the Northwest.

When she reported to Lei Guoliang, her voice was eight octaves louder than usual.

Lei Guoliang confirmed her start in the north over the phone, but also reminded her to pay attention to the pace of expansion and personnel management, especially to avoid repeating Shen Mo's mistakes.

Han Mei patted her chest and assured him, "Don't worry, Grandpa! I may be rough, but I'm not stupid! I won't do anything illegal or disorderly; I'll earn my money honestly!"

Perhaps emboldened by her outstanding performance, or perhaps spurred by the special relationship between Shen Mo and Su Wanqing, Han Mei made a bold decision.

She invited Lei Guoliang to come to Beijing to guide the work when it was convenient for him, citing the need to report on the progress of projects in Chang'an and Hohhot and to ask for his advice on the next strategic steps for the Northwest. She also invited him to try the local hot pot and roast duck.

The invitation was cleverly worded, striking a balance between official business and personal friendship. Lei Guoliang considered it briefly before accepting. He did indeed need to visit the north, especially the strategically important capital city of Beijing.

One weekend in late April, Lei Guoliang flew to Beijing. Han Mei personally drove to the airport to pick him up, without any entourage.

Instead of taking Lei Guoliang to a hotel, she drove directly to a small courtyard she had purchased in the suburbs of Beijing. It was a traditional Beijing-style courtyard house, clean and tidy, with an old locust tree in the yard sprouting new green leaves.

"Grandpa, this is where I usually live. It's quiet and more comfortable than a hotel," Han Mei said as she parked her Land Rover. "We're not going out today. I've asked the master chef from 'Fangshan' to come over and cook authentic imperial cuisine. It's even more impressive than Peking duck!"

Lei Guoliang looked around the small courtyard, somewhat surprised that Han Mei had such refined taste. Since he was already there, he might as well make the best of it.

That family dinner was indeed private and lavish. During the meal, Han Mei presented her work report with clear thinking, solid data, and insightful observations on the Northwest market, demonstrating that she was far more than just a roughneck.

After finishing their business, the atmosphere relaxed. After a few glasses of Moutai, Han Mei's cheeks flushed, and she became more talkative.

"Old man, to be honest, I sometimes can't sleep at night these days," Han Mei said, pouring Lei Guoliang a full glass of wine and looking straight at him.

"I was thinking, you entrusted such a large area to me because you trust me. I, Han Mei, cannot let you down."
