Chapter 869: Chapter 358: Selling Houses Doesn’t Require Professional Sales Skills (Part 2)
This means that Han Lie’s field is even broader, with private equity just as a start. There’s a chance to get involved in asset management, investment banking, and venture capital businesses.
Judging by the potential alone, he might be much stronger than the chief commander.
Because in the domestic market, private equity really can’t grow big, and it can’t compare with the investment and financing industry.
The so-called top private equity, when really put on the table, doesn’t carry much weight and won’t be accepted by the top-tier structure.
Han Lie’s cleverness lies exactly in this—right from the start, he cleverly positioned himself as a comprehensive asset management service provider, with huge potential that is both anticipated and valued.
Such a young man, if not befriended now, then when?!
...
Before Han Lie finished handling company affairs and arrived at the banquet hall, clients had already grouped up, chatting away.
Out of 600-plus guests, only a few leaders left, and the remaining 500-plus all showed up.
Additionally, at least 200 relatives, partners, and children were called over.
A whole 1700-square-meter grand banquet hall was borderline inadequate.
The suggestion of allowing people to bring guests to the banquet was from Han Lie. This social strategy effectively diluted the financial nature of the gathering, but led to him being targeted by a bunch of young ladies...
Until Pan Ge rushed over to protect him, almost a dozen beauties, big and small, made moves on him under the subtle hints of their parents.
No trouble whatsoever; they’re not aiming to sleep with him, just looking to own him long-term...
So each one acted very demure until Pan Ge took his arm, making the beauties show expressions as if the world had wronged them...
"My fiancée, Pan Ge."
Han Lie introduced her openly, and the glamorous assault came to a halt, finally allowing him to get some actual work done.
Of course, before that, he had to make sure to console the sulky Pan Ge.
"Oh, they all look quite pretty! So, did any catch your eye?"
"No way, definitely not!"
Brother Lie shook his head decisively, but it wasn’t very effective.
Pan Ge continued to prod with a sly smile: "It’s all good, honestly just for fun. I’m quite open about it. If there’s really one you fancy, just go for it. I’ll cover for you afterwards."
What a daring suggestion!
Brother Lie’s heart wavered, but he dared not let it show on his face.
"Don’t mess around; we have a lot of serious business today. Be good and come meet a couple of people with me."
"Smart move!"
Pan Ge happily planted a kiss on Han Lie’s cheek and followed him to ’patrol the mountain’.
She honestly didn’t care much about how Han Lie played behind the scenes, but she wanted face; on formal occasions like today... The queen has to be me!
With Pan Ge’s company, flirty encounters dropped to zero, and conversations about business gained efficiency dramatically.
Han Lie barely had time to eat, flitting around like a butterfly in a flower field, making sure to communicate with key targets.
Summarizing by importance, it roughly boiled down to three groups—
First, the hometown garlic chives.
Second, the real estate speculators.
Third, Chu Liang and his classmates.
There was no urgent need to wrap everything up today, but today happened to be just the right time for a pleasant initial contact.
So, Han Lie carried out his visits according to the planned schedule.
When he and Pan Ge reached the hometown garlic chives group... uh, no, the hometown tycoon group, they received a warm welcome.
Pan Dajun brought along 17 fellow townsmen, all carefully selected... uh, tycoons.
When introducing them to Han Lie, their titles could really scare someone to death.
The boss of the largest coal mine in Tuwa Village, the leading figure of private coal mines in Erdao Village, the owners of the thirteen small kilns in Wangjia’ao...
Truly, as down-to-earth as it gets, and all are bosses in the mining industry.
Pan Ge stifled her laughter, gripping Dog’s arm tightly, almost losing composure.
Han Lie, on the other hand, wasn’t surprised.
In Dream City, not even having an urban household registration or double-income family is special; sometimes they don’t earn more than villagers.
Some villages have mines within their jurisdiction. In earlier years, some were run by village collectives, some were individually contracted, some were joint ventures or outright land purchases—all yielding substantial profits.
In contrast, in Dream City, aside from a booming business in foot baths, massages, spas, and KTV and other entertainment industries, the remaining pillars are just real estate and consumer goods.
Factories, like those in the South, are neither sizable nor of quality.
So, high-end consumption capacity in Dream City is very concentrated, either involving coal and mining, or entertainment tycoons, or real estate developers, or private financial services.
Why does Pan Dajun lack confidence to quickly clear Dream Garden?
Real estate peers wouldn’t cut him any slack, and most coal bosses from the surrounding towns already have city properties and lack a strong desire to buy in the city. Removing these two chunks leaves few potential customers who can afford Dream Garden, making it hard to create an explosive hot-selling effect.
Otherwise, with Dream Garden’s quality and location, there’s really no need to sell at a discount.
But Han Lie is different; his appeal is entirely based on his own capability.
Thus, he received enthusiastic acclaim from the coal bosses.
"Teacher Han, you’re so skilled! To tell a mildly embarrassing truth, our group really doesn’t understand too professional stuff, but we can grasp the content you explain. What was that word again? The one about something being what?"
"In-depth yet simple!"
The chubby Chen, who knows many idioms, immediately chimed in: "Teacher Han, meeting you is like lamenting the late encounter! If I’d met you earlier, how could I have been scammed so badly!"
