I'm reborn and I'm an international student again?

Chapter 519: Not Active at Home, Something Wrong with My Thoughts

"The Australians have gone too far this time. When we gathered privately before, someone suggested joining forces with people from the United States to destroy Australia's financial market as a way to retaliate against them." Zhong Lili's expression turned serious.

"It shouldn't be that serious. Don't get yourself involved." Chen Xi opened his mouth, a little bit unable to believe his ears.

If you cooperate with those people from the United States, you will probably have to help them count the money after you are sold out. They will just pat their butts and leave, but you have to stay here and face the anger of the Australians.

"Who says it's not true? There must be people sent by the United States to stir up trouble. They want to sow discord between the two sides and reap the benefits. I will not be stupid enough to wade into this muddy water."

"Ah That's good."

"By the way, I heard that there is a financial tycoon in the United States who is very interested in China. He said that in the future China will be covered with gold!"

"Who?"

"Um... I can't remember their names, anyway, there are only a few people from the United States who I can name. What's wrong with people nowadays? Those big guys hold a lunch auction, and a bunch of people scramble to bid. I remember it was only tens of thousands of beautiful coins at the beginning, but last year it became millions of beautiful coins..." Zhong Lili said, counting on her fingers.

"Haha, everyone has their own agenda when they take the photos." Chen Xi laughed.

He remembered that Buffett was stood up for lunch in his previous life, and the price of the meal was raised to more than 4 million USD.

The auctioneer claimed that he was in the hospital to treat kidney stones and he hyped it up through various means. Eventually, this incident became a hot topic for people to chat about after dinner.

"If he comes to China, I will treat him to some Chinese food and give him a plate of roasted pork kidneys, hahaha." Zhong Lili made a smirk.

After chatting and laughing with Zhong Lili for a long time, Chen Xi walked out of Wenou Chamber of Commerce. He was now a little afraid to go home, for fear of meeting the neurotic Jin Nana again.

Looking at the Chinese real estate agents everywhere on the streets, Chen Xi suddenly thought of Real-Property.

Now we have developed offline stores, but Chenxu is busy with waste recycling, so he handed the work there to Dagou and Tiangou. Anyway, the deposit company is also linked to this side.

"Oh my god, why are there so many real estate agencies now? When did this Realestate have so many stores?" Chen Xi drove to Tiangou and saw several Realestate agencies along the way. There were also several other agencies next to the Realestate, and their names looked familiar.

The car quickly arrived at the company. Gou Zi was chatting with Tian Gou in the office. When he saw Chen Xi come in, he pulled him to the sofa.

"You've come at the right time. The competition among real estate agencies is so fierce now that they've all started to merge into one." Gou Zi placed a stack of agency brochures on the coffee table.

Chen Xi looked through them one by one. These were all newly established companies. He had seen some of them in his previous life, but he had never even heard of the names of some of them.

"I just saw a lot of Realestate stores on the street, a sea of ​​red." Chen Xi put down the album.

Realestate's stores and signs are all red with white letters, which makes them very conspicuous on the road.

"Well, they probably thought we had grown big, so they also started opening offline stores crazily. The most important thing is that they also integrated several companies and started the house rental business." Gouzi handed him a cigarette.

"What's the difference?" Chen Xi didn't quite understand.

"There is a big problem now. There are many Chinese among our customers, many of whom do not live in Australia, or they own multiple properties for rent. At the same time, the Chinese tenant group is also very large, but some tenants are not familiar with the details of renting in Australia and have some bad habits, such as not paying enough attention to hygiene, and even causing damage at home, such as dirty or damaged carpets and graffiti on walls.

These phenomena have caused many local landlords, especially non-Chinese landlords, to have concerns about renting out their properties to Chinese agents.

Realestate.com has keenly captured this market change, started to actively attract this group of customers, and focused on improving the quality of rental services.

They have taken a series of measures, including regularly sending personnel to check the condition of the house and tenants, promptly pointing out and supervising areas that need cleaning and repairs, and ensuring that tenants comply with the rental rules by taking regular photos.

If tenants do not comply with the regulations, their rent will be deducted and in serious cases they may face fines," Tian Gou added.

"Huh? Hasn't it always been like this?" Chen Xi was a little confused after hearing this.

"You may have lived in high-end apartments before, and now you have built your own house, so you don't know much about renting houses through Chinese agents. The things I just mentioned have indeed existed for a long time. But Chinese agents don't pay much attention to this aspect. They only pursue immediate benefits, rent out the house, and then collect the money. They rarely care about the landlord's ideas, that is, the problem of house damage. Some landlords don't say anything, but it doesn't mean they don't have any opinions in their hearts. Even if some complain, they will not be well resolved. Realestate has put a lot of effort in this regard. They want to rebuild the company's image by protecting the interests of landlords..." Gou Zi continued.

"Then let's learn from them and pay attention to rental management like they do." Chen Xi wanted to make a change.

"It has a good reputation there now. It's difficult for us to change the local people's views on Chinese agents in a short period of time. I think we should find a large local agency to cooperate with!"

"Big? We are already big now." Chen Xi put out the cigarette and said with a smile.

“I’m not talking about the real estate agency platform, but the one that originally developed best offline.”

"Ray White!"

"Correct!"

Chen Xi blurted out, and Gou Zi clapped his hands and nodded.

Ray White was founded in 1902 in Queensland, Australia, and was founded by "Crows Nest". After years of development, Ray White has grown into one of the largest real estate franchise groups in Australia.

We have many offices in various states of Australia, New Zealand, Southeast Asia and Hong Kong, with more than 100 employees.

Chen Xi looked at Gou Zi. In his previous life, he became a shareholder of Ray White. It seemed that things were getting back on track in this life.

Although Ray White is doing well, it is now showing signs of decline. One of the reasons is that he has been continuing the traditional development strategy of the family business.

Until now, they have been reluctant to cooperate with real estate agency platforms, even though Realestate and Real-Property have become the two largest real estate agency platforms in Australia.

Ray White is now like an old lion, thinking that his company's small website can beat the competition. Little did he know that it had been surpassed by others, and there is no mobile app, which is simply outdated.

However, as an old brand in Australia, it still leaves a deep impression on the locals, and many older Australians only recognize this company.

It is indeed a good idea to cooperate with Ray White, but I don’t know if they will agree. After all, family-run businesses are somewhat rigid. It is difficult for them to change those old problems that have been left for a long time.

"It's a good idea, but Ray White may not agree to it." Chen Xi nodded, then shook his head.

"Don't worry, leave it to me. Although Ray White is still the leader in the offline real estate industry, they will be finished if they don't change..." Gou Zi patted his chest and promised.

Chen Xi was very curious about how Gou Zi had entered Ray White in his previous life. It was unbelievable that a Chinese became a shareholder of this century-old Australian company.

In his previous life, Chen Xi was obsessed with Crown every day, so he didn't care much about this matter. He couldn't figure out what tricks Gouzi used, but no matter what, Gouzi was still very capable. In his previous life, he did make a lot of money after hanging out with Thomas, although the money didn't come from an unknown source...

"Well, I'll leave it to you. Just tell me if you need anything, and I'll definitely give you my full support."

"Okay!" Gouzi was very happy to see Chen Xi trust him so much. But after thinking for a while, he continued: "At present, many large and medium-sized agencies are also interested in cooperating with Realestate, and some even proposed to be acquired directly, such as Barry Plant and Scape Group. Especially this Scape Group, they are mainly engaged in student apartments, and have a large number of student apartment projects in Sydney Village and Melbourne Village. This time Realestate has focused on leasing service providers, and Scape Group really wants to seize this opportunity to get on the other side..."

"Well, if you see an opportunity, go and communicate with other agencies, and cooperate if you can. Now we just need to squeeze out Realestate and Australia to secure the first place!" Chen Xi felt that they couldn't miss this opportunity. At present, they just needed to integrate these agencies. Whoever grabbed more resources would have a greater chance of winning. "By the way, what is Thomas doing recently?" Chen Xi suddenly thought of the unknown transaction he saw at school before. There must be something shady going on between Thomas and Xiaofei.

"Didn't you tell me not to play with him? How would I know?" Gou Zi scratched his head awkwardly.

"You see him everywhere in school. If you haven't run into him, you must have seen him before."

"Yes, he does. He just greets me and asks me how I'm doing. We don't have any other interactions. I heard that he was involved in the Crown Rice Laundering incident and cheated a lot of classmates. Gradually, the old students stopped associating with him, and only the freshmen would hang out with him..."

"Are there any freshmen playing with him?"

"Yes, I heard that he made a lot of money. Those freshmen regard Thomas as an idol. I heard that they even set up a group, and Thomas will share his success experience with these people when he is free?"

"Is this a pyramid scheme? Charging for classes?"

"No charge, Thomas means to make friends."

"Hahaha, I don't believe it." Chen Xi was amused. This Thomas actually became a success tutor. Since he didn't charge for the class, it was probably illegal fundraising.

He was very curious about whether Thomas had made a lot of money again and whether that money was related to Xiaofei. Xiaofei's family was very rich, but he himself was uneducated and sold goods everywhere. Chen Xi could not think of anything else that could make the two of them reach a deal, except for the D-grade products.

"Oh, by the way, I want to open a billiard room. Not to make money, but to make friends. I looked around and found that there is no billiard room between Box Hill and Burwood, or around here!"

"hehe."

Hearing Gou Zi’s new idea, Chen Xi laughed.

This was his and Sun Cheng's idea in his previous life, to open a billiard room to provide a place for entertainment for those well-off international students. This would not only allow them to exchange useful information, but also bring those with strength into the team to develop together.

As for why there are no billiard halls around here, it's because this is Uncle Lei's territory. He always keeps the number of entertainment venues in these areas between one and two.

In the previous life, Uncle Lei’s daughter was Sun Cheng’s ex-girlfriend. With the help of his girlfriend, Sun Cheng finally won the right to open a billiard room.

Chen Xi and Sun Cheng chose a second-floor shop opposite the China Bar Hotel as the venue. Later, Chen Xi became very successful in Crown, and Sun Cheng had other things to do, so the billiard room was not opened. Finally, the venue was rented to a famous dessert shop in Boxhill.

Sun Cheng later seemed to have given the right to open a billiard room to Gouzi, who opened one in partnership between Boxhill and Burwood. Chen Xi would sometimes go there to play a few hands. There were quite a few good cars parked there, and Gouzi had achieved his goal.

"This matter is a bit complicated. It's difficult to get the right to open a business, you know." Chen Xi said after thinking for a moment.

"I understand. This idea was proposed to me by Ho and Tran. However, to solve the problem of opening a business, we still need to find Uncle Lei. You know a lot of people, so I just want you to help me ask around. The number of shareholders doesn't matter. I'm not here to make money anyway."

"Okay, I'll ask for you." Chen Xi nodded.

The three of them chatted in the company until the evening, and after eating at a random restaurant, Chen Xi returned to his car.

To be honest, he didn't want to go home now, but if he didn't go home, given Jin Nana's current condition, something might happen again.

"Oh!" Chen Xi sighed and started the car.

After returning home, Chen Xi entered the house like a thief. The huge villa was quite quiet.

When Chen Xi turned on the light in the living room, he was startled to see Jin Nana standing by the wall staring at him with strange eyes.

"What...what are you doing, standing here acting like a vase?"

"What time is it now? You are not motivated to go home. There is something wrong with your thinking." Jin Nana pointed to the clock on the wall. It was already nine o'clock in the evening.

"I'm busy, what do you want to talk to me about?"

"I'm your girlfriend. Can't I come to you if I have nothing to do? I have something to ask you."

"Oh, what is it? Ask me."

Chen Xi was pulled to the sofa by Jin Nana.

"I have a head injury, shouldn't I be prescribed topical medicine? Why did Saori give me oral medicine today? And the doctor you took me to seems to be treating psychological problems."

"Well, you've had two head injuries. Do you feel like you're particularly afraid of touching your head now?"

"seems like it."

"That's right. You have a psychological problem. We have a saying in China: once bitten by a snake, you will be afraid of ropes for ten years. For a female warrior like you who usually practices martial arts, if you encounter such a big problem, you must solve it as soon as possible."

"That makes sense. Saori said this medicine also contains vitamins and calcium tablets. Is that true? Shouldn't we take a brand like Swisse? This medicine doesn't seem right."

"Oh, just take whatever the doctor tells you to take. Take more calcium to strengthen your skull, or you'll get knocked unconscious again next time."

"Go away, what nonsense are you talking about." Jin Nana was left speechless by him.

"Okay, I'm tired. I still have a cold today, so I'll just sleep on the sofa." Chen Xi said and lay down directly.

"Stop pretending and get out of bed. If Dongdong and Xiaoming see us, they'll think I'm a tigress who abuses you every day."

"Hehe, even a tigress is not as powerful as you."

"Go to hell." Jin Nana picked up a pillow and started throwing it around.

"Honey, be obedient. I bought a very sexy underwear this afternoon, and it was Saori who helped me pick it out~" After venting, Jin Nana became extremely gentle again.

Chen Xi raised his eyelids and shuddered all over.

The clothes that Saori chose for her?

What are you doing?

While warning me not to mess around, she also gave assists to her best friend.
