It took the agent less than an hour to show Qin Guan all the houses in the area.
The eight houses were nearly 500 square meters, and the prices ranged from 3,500 to 4,200 yuan per square meter. Qin Guan wanted all of them.
That was an average of 2 million yuan, which was enough to buy three houses in the city.
The agent beamed with joy. Qin Guan realized that all the potential houses in the area had been dug out by him. Satisfied, he went back to his company to sign the purchase agreement.
By the time the store manager happily handed the thick stack of contracts to his new employee, the little agent was already wild with joy and couldn't control himself.
With this month's commission and the red envelope Qin Guan had given him, he would have a bright future.
After entrusting the rest of the procedures to the agency, Qin Guan drove away leisurely.
Qin Guan also gave the rental rights of the eight houses to the agent. The rental market in that area was quite promising.
Hiding behind his desk, the agent opened the red envelope excitedly. It was about 1,000 yuan. It was all in SGD. No wonder the envelope was so thick.
Qin Guan was finally relieved. All he had to do was wait for Wanda Real Estate to move in in 2004. Then he would be able to get back the money he had spent on the eight houses at a sixfold rate.
If he didn't have to save the money for other purposes, he wouldn't have had to travel so much.
It was summer in the capital, and the sun was scorching. Sister Xue's heart was as hot as the sun. She could finally be called a sister in the modeling circle.
In the past two years, there had been a lot of famous female models in China, but there had been very few male models. The combination of Sister Xue and Qin Guan, who had started out as wild models, had shocked the whole circle.
People realized that Qin Guan had dominated the domestic first-tier and second-tier brands' shows in only one year.
Even if he was not the main show, the feedback from the brands was remarkable. His fame in the entertainment circle had made Qin Guan a popular model in the domestic modeling circle.
Sister Xue confronted the representatives of several film and television companies in a private meeting room assigned to her by New Silk Road.
"I can't sign a contract with you. Besides, you're asking for such a high commission!"
A representative knocked on the table and said to Sister Xue, "To be honest, there are so many companies here. My company is not the only one."
"It's common sense that people in the same industry are jealous of each other, but you're too cunning. You made an appointment on the same day.
What can we do? Who asked your artiste to be so outstanding? You make us, the company's new subordinates, feel ashamed of our inferiority. "
"Fine, we'll bear with it. Let's see which family offers the highest price. As long as you're satisfied, we have nothing to complain about."
"In the end, you didn't even look at any of them and directly rejected them. That's not very appropriate. Aren't you playing with us?"
Sister Xue smiled bitterly. She picked up a cigarette from the table and asked the men who were about to lose their temper, "Do you mind?"
They took out their own cigarettes and answered, "Let's do it together!"
'Pak, pak, pak.' A few sounds of lighters being lit rang out. A group of people with sad faces sat together and began to smoke.
Sister Xue blew the smoke out of her mouth and sighed. "I know your conditions are the most sincere ones you can offer."
"Do you know how Qin Guan and I got a share of the contract when we first met?"
“8:2？”
“7:3？”
"6: 4. It couldn't be lower."
"3: 7. I'm 3, and he's 7."
The other representatives were dumbfounded. They almost burned their fingers with their cigarettes. That's too much! They suddenly felt sympathy for Sister Xue. Unexpectedly, they were united against the same enemy.
Sister Xue continued to complain, "He doesn't work full-time. He only takes part-time jobs when he doesn't have classes..."
"He doesn't sign long-term contracts. The longest he can do is once a year..."
"He doesn't take films outside the capital. He's afraid that it'll affect his studies..."
"He doesn't take long scenes or roles for the same reason as above..."
The more they listened, the sadder they felt. Sister Xue got closer to them. When a person shared his own tragic story with others, it would reduce the strangeness between them and increase their friendliness.
Sister Xue listed out all the reasons for Qin Guan's refusal. No entertainment company could meet Qin Guan's requirements.
He was born to run solo, and his life was filled with luck. He was just a newcomer, and he wasn't an international superstar. Even directors, producers, and investors would want to support him.
You haven't even been a leading actor yet, yet you have so many requirements. If you become famous in the future, you'll be able to fly to the sky.
Sister Xue looked at their expressions and felt that the time was right. She added, "Actually, I know why you're in such a hurry to sign him."
"I'm the one who has stayed with him the longest. He's the kind of boy who can amaze everyone at first sight. You should be cautious and optimistic about him."
"But I can promise you that, while he is still my model, if you need him to appear in any new films, as long as the schedule is within our schedule, we will do our best to help. We can discuss the salary. "
"I won't use dirty tricks when I find roles for him. I'll do it with real swords and guns. I'm not worried about you, but Qin Guan has no time to compete for leading roles in big productions. “
"The last reason is that he's a top student of the University of Finance and Economics. He'll go abroad in two years. You don't have to worry about him. Even if he's suppressed for a while, as long as he can endure it for two years, everything will be fine."
A few of the representatives were in tears, and the negotiator from Huayi Brothers had the most complicated feelings.
Their boss had told them to sign Qin Guan at all costs. If they couldn't sign him, other companies wouldn't be able to.
How were they supposed to reason things out in this situation? He hadn't done anything yet, but he had already achieved his goal. Let's not waste time here. We should report to our superiors.
