American Fortune Life

For the real estate layout in Seattle, Andy has already planned. In addition to the familiar local technology giants, such as Microsoft, Amazon, Boeing, Starbucks, etc.

In the next few years, more and more technology giants from other places will enter Seattle. It is not for nothing that it is known as the capital of aerospace, capital of software, capital of cloud computing, and capital of e-commerce.

And Andy was also very good at understanding AI, VR, AR and other fields here in his previous life.

Strong economy and diversified industries support, high cost performance of real estate at this time and a livable climate with warm winter and cool summer. More importantly, as so many high-tech industries choose Greater Seattle as their headquarters or set up branches in Greater Seattle, it will create a lot of job opportunities for Seattle and promote population growth.

Moreover, the salaries of high-tech companies are relatively high, and the relevant people are relatively more capable of buying real estate. There is a rich talent pool, and the crowd shows a trend of age. . .

With these factors concentrated in one city, one can imagine how much potential there is for house prices to rise!

Outlet Realty Trust is located in a 30-story building in Seattle's South Lake Union district.

A black tailored high-end suit, a blue silk tie, and shiny Italian leather shoes that can illuminate the figure. Andy is wearing a power suit, and the image of a tough guy in the workplace exudes a strong and confident momentum. Surrounded by his elite-looking subordinates with big backs, he walked through the hall and walked into the elevator under the curious and astonished eyes of many people.

"Hello, Mr. Smith, I'm Matt Bomer, the manager of Outlet Real Estate Trust Company. It's a great honor to meet you. This way please—"

Andy shook hands with the other party with a smile on his face, and then, under the guidance of the other party, walked through the office hall where all the employees of the trust company looked at him curiously, and walked into the spacious and bright conference room.

The two parties sat on both sides of the large oval conference table painted with solid wood and decorated with cherry veneer. First, they exchanged short greetings and introduced the important personnel of each side.

"Mr. Bomer, I am here mainly for the real estate used by the Volvo car dealership next to Pike Place Market."

Matt Bomer smiled and said: "Sorry, Mr. Smith, we have no plans to sell that store at the moment..."

Andy was not unhappy when he heard the other party's direct rejection, but smiled directly: "Mr. Pomo, don't rush to refuse, I am very sincere..."

As he spoke, Andy yelled without turning his head, "Martin!"

As soon as the voice fell, the five bodyguards who were originally standing on both sides of the door walked to the open side of the conference table under the suspicious eyes of everyone, and five black suitcases were placed on the conference table.

"Papa--"

There were five unlocking sounds, the suitcase was opened, and turned to everyone at the same time.

"Wow--"

Matt Bomer's eyes lit up slightly, and everyone in Outlets Real Estate Trust Company had a slightly surprised expression on their faces.

With a slight smile on his face, Andy reached out his hand to signal, and the five bodyguards simultaneously dumped bundles of brand-new dollars in the suitcase on the conference table, forming a pile like a mound.

"That's five million dollars!"

After Andy finished speaking, he didn't say any more, just took a leisurely sip of coffee and drank it. From the expressions and eyes of these people on the opposite side when pouring money just now, Andy knew that he used this trick of the local tyrant Spending money on negotiations has already worked.

Although this trick is simple and crude, it is well versed in human psychology. When people face tangible cash, the sensory stimulation will bring excitement and pressure at the same time.

The so-called not for sale, do not bargain. . . When faced with this large pile of cash, the other party's psychological defense will be broken, the negotiation will become much easier, and the price will be negotiated!

Empty talk will never compare to real dollars!

Matt Bomer looked at the scattered dollars on the conference table,

He looked at the people around him, frowned slightly, and then looked at Andy Smith, who was drinking coffee with a calm expression.

"Cough, Mr. Smith, our house is worth more than five million dollars, the price..." He said, shaking his head slightly, but finally instinctively glanced at the five million dollars on the table.

"Although US commercial real estate prices continued to rise in 2006 and 2007, they began to plummet this year, and real estate prices fell back to 2005 levels.

Among them, in October this year alone, the price of commercial real estate in the United States fell by 2.2% compared with September. Compared with the peak in October 2007, the price of commercial real estate in the United States has fallen by more than 16%. The real estate bubble in the United States has burst. I bought this store at this time because I was planning to expand the Starbucks business.

Based on Seattle’s current return on investment ROI, CapRate, net cash income, DSCR, etc., 5 million is undoubtedly a very reasonable price. Excessive asking prices and low prices, with these data, are simply meaningless.

I am very sincere, you agree, we will close the transaction immediately!

"Okay, Mr. Smith, can you wait for a while? We need to ask the opinions of other shareholders. To be honest, this is really sudden."

"No problem, please."

Andy smiled and put down the coffee cup in his hand, and made a gesture of please.

"I'm really sorry, please wait a moment, we'll be back soon." Matt Bomer stood up apologetically, led the two people around him to give a slight nod, and walked out of the door of the meeting room quickly, passing by the pile of When looking at the dollar, he unconsciously glanced at it.

Andy couldn't help laughing in his heart. You know, in the United States, except for drug dealers, very few people can come up with large sums of cash. Even ordinary middle-class families may not be able to come up with $1,000 in cash. Americans are used to using Checks and credit cards, so even these people haven't seen so many dollars pushed together in a long time.

In fact, this transaction, since the other party saw the cash and left the so-called non-sale items behind, Andy knew that it was almost a success, because the price he gave was indeed very fair.

After all, Pike Place Market is not located in South Lake Union, the most commercially prosperous area in Seattle, Capitol Hill in the young and fashionable neighborhood, or Queen Anne in the standard affluent area, but in an industrial area with few residential buildings.

The price of 5 million is also because of the land area of ​​the property. Under the raging financial crisis, American real estate has plummeted again and again. I don’t know how many years it will take to recover in the future. As a trust company specializing in real estate investment, it will definitely make a smart decision choice.

Andy is holding a coffee cup, leaning comfortably on the back of the boss chair, sipping the coffee in the cup with a faint smile on the corner of his mouth. After two years of adaptation, he has completely fallen in love with coffee as a drink .

A cup of coffee was bottomed out, and Andy had just put down the coffee cup when the door of the conference room was pushed open. Matt Bomer led the two back with a smile on his face, and took their seats again.

"Well, Mr. Smith, we agree to the deal . . . "

"Wise choice! This is a win-win situation, happy cooperation!" Andy's handsome smile remained unchanged, his tone was full of confidence, as it should have been, and he reached out and shook Matt Bomer's hand.

Matt Bomer also nodded and smiled, "Happy cooperation!"

The two parties reached a consensus, and the lawyers from both sides quickly got together to check the contract and documents, and Andy's bodyguards also stepped forward to reopen the suitcase, quickly put the piles of dollars back into the box, and followed the Outlet Real Estate Trust The company's financial personnel went outside to check the banknotes.

Matt Bomer was chatting and laughing with Andy. Half an hour later, the two parties signed the real estate transfer contract under the witness of a lawyer. Lease contract with new landlord.

Before leaving, he was almost choked to death by Andy's words, "The rent will increase in the coming year!" . .

Howard Schultz, who had been rejected by Matt Bomer twice, was surprised and wryly smiled when he learned that the young chairman bought this "not for sale" building with five million cash in just one and a half hours.

Simple and rude, but the effect is remarkable, knocking down the opponent with cash! 8) For more exciting novels, welcome to visit our Reading Academy
