For the real estate layout in Seattle, Andy has a long-term plan. In addition to the local technology giants that are familiar with it, such as Microsoft, Amazon, Boeing, Starbucks, and Osto.

In the next few years, more and more tech giants from other places will settle in Seattle. It is hailed as the capital of aerospace, the capital of software, the capital of cloud computing, and the capital of e-commerce.

And Andy also knew about ai, vr, ar and other fields here in the past life.

Strong economic and diversified industry support, at this time the property's cost-effective and warm winter and cool summer livable climate. What's more important is that with so many high-tech industries choosing Greater Seattle as the headquarters or setting up a branch in Greater Seattle, it will create many, many job opportunities for Seattle and promote population growth.

Moreover, high-tech companies have higher salaries, the relevant groups are relatively more able to purchase real estate, a rich talent pool, and the population is showing a trend of age ...

These factors are concentrated in one city, and it is conceivable how great the potential for house prices to rise!

In the South Lake Union District of Seattle, the Outlets Real Estate Trust is located in a 30-story building.

A black, decent, high-fitting suit, a blue silk tie, can shine bright Italian leather shoes, Andy is a power suit, a strong tough man's image exudes a strong and confident momentum, in a crowd of bodyguards and suits Surrounded by the subordinates with big-headed elites, many people passed through the hall with curiosity and amazement and entered the elevator.

"Hello Mr. Smith, I'm Matt Bomer, the manager of Outlet Real Estate Trust, and I'm very honored to meet you. Please come here."

Andy shook hands with the other with a smile, and then led by the other, walked through the office hall where all trust company employees curiously looked at him, and stepped into the spacious and bright conference room.

The two sides sat on both sides of the large oval conference table painted in solid wood and cherry veneer. First, a brief greeting introduced the important staff of the next party. After the coffee was served, Andy didn't go in circles and went straight to the point.

"Mr. Pomo, I'm here this time mainly for real estate used by Volvo Car dealerships next to Parker's Market."

Matt Bomo said with a smile: "Sorry, Mr. Smith, we have no plans to sell that store at this time ..."

Andy heard the other party's direct rejection, and was not unhappy, but instead laughed directly: "Mr. Pomo, don't rush to reject first, I'm very sincere ..."

Then, Andy screamed without turning his head, "Martin!"

As soon as the voice fell, the five bodyguards who had stood on both sides of the doorway came to the side of the conference table with a few doubts, and five black suitcases were placed on the conference table.

"Papa"

Five unlocks, the luggage was opened and turned to the crowd.

"Wow"

Matt Bomo's eyes lightened slightly, and a slight unexpected expression appeared on the faces of the outlet real estate trust company.

With a smile on his face, Andy reached out and gestured. Five bodyguards dumped a bunch of brand-new dollars in the suitcase onto the conference table at the same time, forming a mound.

"This is five million dollars!"

Andy did n’t say more after finishing talking, just took the coffee and sipped it leisurely. From the moment when I poured the money, I saw the expressions and eyes of these people across the street. Spending money on negotiations has already worked.

Don't look at this simple and rude, but it is deep in human psychology. When people face visible cash, the sensory stimulation will bring excitement and pressure.

The so-called non-sale goods, do not bargain ... When facing this large pile of cash, the psychological defense of the other party will be broken, the negotiation will become much easier, and the price will be talked about!

Speaking in vain, you can never compare it to a real dollar!

Matt Bomer looked at the dollar spread out on the conference table, stared at a few people around him, frowned slightly, and looked at Andy Smith, who was drinking coffee and looked indifferent.

"Oh, Mr. Smith, our property has more than five million dollars, this price ..." Then, shaking his head slightly, but finally instinctively glanced at the five million dollars on the table.

"Although the price of commercial real estate in the United States continued to rise in 2006 and 2007, it began to plummet after entering this year, and real estate prices fell back to 2005 levels.

Among them, in October this year alone, US commercial real estate prices fell 22% from September. Compared with the peak in October 2007, US commercial real estate prices have fallen by more than 16%, and the US real estate bubble has burst. This store, I was planning to expand the Starbucks business, so I would buy at this time.

According to Seattle's current return on investment (ROI), aprate, net cash income, dsr, etc. to comprehensively evaluate, 5 million is undoubtedly a very reasonable price, sky-high asking prices and low prices. With these data, there is no meaning at all.

I'm sincere, and you agree, we'll close the transaction right away!

"Well, Mr. Smith, can you wait a moment? We need to ask other shareholders for their opinions, and to be honest, it's really sudden."

"No problem, please."

Andy smiled and lowered the coffee cup in his hand, making a please gesture.

"I'm so sorry, please wait a moment, we will be back soon." Matt Pomo stood up apologetically, and nodded slightly with the two people around him, quickly walked out of the door of the conference room, passing by the pile When he was in the US dollar, he glanced at it unconsciously.

Andy laughed secretly. You know, in the United States, few people can afford large sums of cash except du dealers. Even the average middle-aged family may not be able to take out $ 1,000 in cash. Americans are used to it. Checks and credit cards, so even these people may not have seen so many dollars pushed together for a long time.

In fact, since the other party saw the cash and left the so-called non-sale items behind him, Andy knew that it was almost successful, because the price he gave was really fair.

After all, the Pike Place Market is not in the South Lake Union area, the most prosperous area in Seattle, the Capitol Hill area in the young fashion district, and the Queen Anne area in the Standard Rich area, but in an industrial area with no residential buildings.

The price of five million is also because of the area of ​​that building. Under the raging financial crisis, the US real estate has plummeted. I do n’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 be smart Choice.

Andy held the coffee cup, leaning comfortably on the back of the boss chair, and gently sipped the coffee in the cup with a slight smile on the corner of his mouth. After two years of adaptation, he had fallen in love with coffee as a drink. .

A cup of coffee bottomed out, Andy had just dropped the coffee cup, the door of the meeting room was pushed open, Matt Bomo returned with a smile, and returned to the seat.

"Well, Mr. Smith, we agree with the transaction ..."

"A wise choice! This is a win-win situation and a happy cooperation!" Andy's handsome face smiled, his tone was full of self-confidence, and a copy should look like this, reaching out and Matt Bomo shaking hands.

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

The two sides reached a consensus. Lawyers on both sides quickly got together to check the contract and information, and Andy's bodyguards came forward to reopen the suitcase, quickly put a stack of dollars back into the box, and followed the outlet real estate trust. The company's financial staff went outside to check the banknotes.

Matt Bomo was chatting with Andy with jokes and jokes. After half an hour, the two parties signed a real estate transfer contract under the witness of a lawyer. Volvo car dealers also rushed over and re-signed a little bit. Lease contract with new landlord.

Before leaving, he was even strangled by Andy's sentence "The rent will be increased next year!"

Howard Schultz, who was rejected twice by Matt Pomero, laughed in astonishment after learning that the young chairman had bought this 'non-sale product' for five million dollars in only one and a half hours.

Simple and rude, but the effect is significant, smashing each other with cash!
