Chapter 275 Christmas Eve of Extraordinary Significance
After leaving the Xiangjia store, Chen Jianghe drove to several sales offices of Anxia Group and inspected the surrounding real estate projects of Sino-Ocean Group.
"The sales rate of Anxia's projects has peaked. As the popularity decreases, sales will naturally decline. Sino-Ocean's projects are located in good locations, but housing prices are high and the purchasing power of rigid demand is insufficient. If they want to quickly sell inventory, they must work hard on the down payment ratio to attract investors to enter the market."
Chen Jianghe stroked his chin and thought seriously for a moment, and a complete marketing plan emerged in his mind.
Real estate investors these days are very bold. They like to increase leverage and pursue maximum profits. The reality has indeed made them taste the sweetness of leverage and even make a fortune.
Three days later, when the popularity of Anxia Group's price reduction promotion faded, Sino-Ocean Group launched three major preferential activities: "Free down payment when buying a house, free gas card when choosing a house with deposit, and additional discounts for group purchases."
At the same time, Sino-Ocean Group pioneered the "seven-day no-reason return" mechanism to ensure that the majority of home buyers can choose and buy good houses, and hung banners in major sales offices, "Warmly welcome the national home-buying group"!
As soon as the news was released, home-buying groups from all over the country quickly took action like sharks smelling blood.
Although Sino-Ocean Group used the "pay first and get back later" routine in terms of the down payment ratio, the sincerity of this price reduction promotion is greater than the previous "30% off house sales" by Anxia Group.
It must be said that the deposit plus a gas card is very attractive, and the gimmick of no-questions-asked cancellation within seven days has refreshed people's perception of buying a house.
For a time, the real estate market in eastern Guangdong and surrounding areas reversed. Although it was already winter, commercial housing sales quietly saw a "small spring" against the trend.
Unfortunately, the good times did not last long. As the external environment continued to deteriorate and the crisis fermented, the foreign trade industry in the Pearl River Delta region was the first to feel the coming of winter. The small spring in the real estate market also turned into winter overnight as major developers scrambled to cut prices and promote sales.
"Time flies, 2008 is coming."
At 7 o'clock in the evening on December 24, Chen Jianghe appeared downstairs of the faculty dormitory holding a box of apples, feeling a little emotional. Fortunately, the company's businesses had progressed smoothly during this period, making a small profit of more than 30 million yuan. The bulging wallet offset the sadness of the passing of time.
Tonight is Christmas Eve. Chen Jianghe originally had a deep-seated resistance to foreign festivals , but she couldn't unilaterally announce it. After all, girls are naturally immune to such festivals. If she didn't receive an apple from her boyfriend on Christmas Eve, she would probably want to break up that night.
Chen Jianghe waited downstairs for a while, and Xu Zhixi, who was wrapped up tightly, quickly appeared in front of him. Seeing him holding a box of apples and swinging his body like a penguin in the cold wind, she asked with both amusement and heartache: "Student Chen Jianghe, why don't you go upstairs?"
"It's more ceremonial ."
Chen Jianghe smiled and handed her a box of apples: "Teacher Xu, have a peaceful Christmas Eve."
Xu Zhixi took it and blinked: "It's so heavy~ People only buy one apple as a token of appreciation, why are you giving a whole box?"
"What does this mean? It means that I love you deeply." Chen Jianghe leaned close to Xu Zhixi's ear and asked himself the question.
"You're so sweet." Xu Zhixi smiled, looked around and found that there were no people around, so she said softly: "You can give me a kiss."
"No." Chen Jianghe shook his head and said, "You look so beautiful tonight, I can't bear to kiss you. "
"You bastard." Xu Zhixi scolded with a smile, and said with a hint of anger: "You keep saying sweet words. Have you changed your career to beekeeping?"
"Why raise bees? I am a bee myself." Chen Jianghe made a buzzing sound with his mouth like a fool. Then, while Xu Zhixi was not prepared, he held her fair and delicate cheeks with both hands and suddenly kissed her on the lips.
“So sweet~”
After the kiss, Chen Jianghe patted his butt and took a few steps back to prevent Teacher Xu from kicking him.
"Asshole, come back." Xu Zhixi called him with blushing cheeks.
"Can't bear to leave me?" Chen Jianghe returned to her.
"The gift is in my pocket, take it yourself." Xu Zhixi leaned sideways and motioned for him to search his pocket.
Chen Jianghe reached into his pocket and pulled out a pair of gloves. They were finely crafted, with two interesting-looking human figures on the back of his hand, like a cartoon couple.
"How is this woven?" Chen Jianghe asked curiously.
"Unique skills, never pass on to others~" Xu Zhixi smiled and asked, "Do you like it?"
"Of course I like it!" Chen Jianghe smiled and nodded, then asked, "Is this cartoon pattern of you and me?"
"Of course not." Xu Zhixi smiled and shook her head, and said shyly: "Haven't you always wanted that, that thing..."
"What?"
Chen Jianghe blinked, and suddenly an idea flashed in his mind: "Twins?"
"You said it yourself, I didn't say that." After Xu Zhixi finished speaking, she tiptoed to kiss his cheek, then turned around and ran away holding the apple.
"Go up the stairs slowly, don't fall!" Chen Jianghe reminded.
"I know. It's too cold. You should go back to the dormitory." Xu Zhixi responded.
Chen Jianghe smiled without answering, and only turned and left when he could no longer hear her footsteps.
"Boss, Merry Christmas Eve and Merry Christmas!"
Chen Jianghe was taking out the second box of apples from the trunk of the BYD parked downstairs of the boys' dormitory, preparing to give it to Lin Siqi, but she appeared first.
Chen Jianghe raised his eyebrows and looked at the secretary. She had a sweet smile, and was wearing a black evening dress with white stockings and two ponytails. She stood in front of him, charming and dazzling.
"Come closer and let the boss hug you." Chen Jianghe said with a smile.
Lin Siqi quietly took a few steps forward, huffed and threw herself into Chen Jianghe's arms, whispering in his ear: "I have prepared a blushing gift for you."
"Hmm?" Chen Jianghe's eyebrows moved, and he asked curiously, "What gift?"
"Cat's tail." Lin Siqi whispered softly in Chen Jianghe's ear; "I want to be your cat~"
"hiss……"
Chen Jianghe sucked in a breath of cold air. This secretary's outfit was already one of his favorites, and with the cat tail, it made her look like she was flying.
Lin Siqi noticed that Chen Jianghe's heartbeat quickened, and she stepped back with a smile and kept her distance.
"Here, your apple."
Chen Jianghe picked up a box of apples and handed it to her.
"Thank you, boss."
The secretary took the apple and smiled sweetly: "I'll go back to the dormitory to prepare something first."
Chen Jianghe watched her walk towards the girls' dormitory building, then drove to Panyu University Town.
"Merry Christmas, Junior Sister Yishu."
Jiang Yishu, who had just walked out of the school library, was immediately surrounded by a large group of boys.
"Thank you, Senior. I don't eat apples."
Jiang Yishu waved her hand to refuse, and finally managed to get through the crowd. Then someone else came towards her.
Jiang Yishu reached out and put on the hood of her coat, covered her face, and ran away.
Running all the way back to the gate of the community from the library, Jiang Yishu took off her hat, and panted while leaning against a street lamp at the main entrance of the community. The street lamp illuminated her blushing cheeks, which looked like a pool of clear water.
"Hey."
Suddenly a familiar voice was heard, Jiang Yishu's eyes flickered, and she looked towards the source of the voice.
But someone on the other side of the street lamp shouted at her, "Student Jiang Yishu, I like you, be my girlfriend!"
Jiang Yishu raised her hand to wipe the sweat from her forehead. Just as she was about to run towards him, she saw him running towards her at an extremely fast speed and hugged her with his hands.
"You didn't answer, which means you agreed, right?"
Sure enough, this is very Chen Jianghe.
Jiang Yishu reached out and touched Chen Jianghe's cold cheek, and asked softly, "Brother, have you been waiting for me here for a long time?"
"Before you always waited for me, this time it's my turn to wait for you." Chen Jianghe said, "You ran faster than a rabbit just now, is someone chasing you to confess his love?"
"No." Jiang Yishu shook her head: "The seniors gave me apples, but I didn't want them."
"Then what do you want?" Chen Jianghe asked.
"I want the apple you gave me." Jiang Yishu replied.
"You should remove the words 'gifted apples'." Chen Jianghe suggested.
"Oh." Jiang Yishu said, looking at Chen Jianghe with sparkling eyes: "I want you."
When Chen Jianghe heard this, he was so happy that he picked her up and spun her around a few times.
"Take it easy, take it easy, don't hurt Yishu's slender waist."
At this moment, the voice of my aunt Zheng Jiaxin suddenly came from the door.
Chen Jianghe put Yishu down, turned to look at Zheng Jiaxin, and asked with a smile, "Aunt, aren't you afraid of the cold? Why are you running downstairs instead of staying at home?"
"The shout you made when you confessed your love to Yishu just now gave me goosebumps. I came down specially to see if you were beaten."
Zheng Jiaxin deliberately teased him, then walked over, put a scarf around his neck, and helped him tie it up neatly: "This winter is particularly cold, I'll knit you a towel to keep you warm."
"You are such a caring and loving aunt." Chen Jianghe looked down at the scarf. The style and craftsmanship were both excellent, and it smelled nice.
Zheng Jiaxin saw him sniffing and wanted to laugh but held back: "I'm glad you don't mind..."
After saying that, she turned and left: "I'm going back to watch TV, you and Yishu continue."
