Because I prefer to watch movies with a little realism, I won't discuss the content of the play with you today. Let's talk about the profession of real estate agency first, and see how much you and everyone know about it. From the perspective of career presentation, I think this drama is not true, profound and concrete enough for the real estate agency industry and work.
Judging from the role of the manager "Aunt Xu" in the play, as the manager of a real estate agency, he never wears professional clothes to work, and his attitude towards business is also very Buddhist. His own list will always come, not his own list. He can't catch it. Every morning, I sing with the salesman in the shop. What is even more amazing is that Xu Wenchang, who seems to be doing nothing, and the rich people in the play take the initiative to ask him for help in buying and selling houses. My friends are all social elites, a friend who runs a pub, a lawyer who can't lose the battle, a star who lives alone in a mansion, a music teacher who runs a musical instrument store, and even the postman in Shanghai's old villa are all good friends.
Almost every list of big old villas is full of rooms. He went out day and night in order to find a house. He stayed at home and had a good time with a dog. He visited an old postman in Shanghai and found an old villa full of rooms for many days. In order to help the shop assistant complete his shop bill, he paid and donated money. Finally, every employee in the store who didn't check out completed his first order in the store. One scene that impressed me the most was that Aunt Xu actually paid 20,000 yuan for house protection in the name of Zongzi. It is hard to imagine that in real life, there is such a manager who can pay the property benefit fee out of his own pocket, and it is 20 thousand yuan at a time.
Whenever Fang encounters difficulties and is short of money, Aunt Xu's manager is never stingy, and almost never lets Fang pay back the money. Before contacting him, she divorced her wife and lost her house. Even so, the manager's economic strength seems unfathomable. It feels like he's here as a store manager to experience life. If he has a list, he will give it to the salesman below and go out to walk the dog and enjoy life by himself.
Even if it is mentioned in the play that Aunt Xu's family was rich when she was a child, she can't convince herself that there is such a good manager in real life, and it is in the real estate agency industry that is easy to drink northwest wind. What's more strange is that he basically doesn't do any other business except the business of the old villa, but everyone should know that the business of the old villa is completely different from the general business.
Many intermediaries can't get the business of old houses, on the one hand, because the price of old houses is too different from that of ordinary houses, and it is difficult to find buyers with purchasing power for a while; On the other hand, due to various historical problems, the property rights of many old houses in Shanghai are unclear, and few of them can really be listed and traded. Even if buyers are found, the marriage cycle will not be very short.
However, it is obviously unrealistic for Aunt Xu in the play to make a living by the old villa business. Even if your old villa business is very fierce and smart, it is impossible to do nothing but stare at it. Even in Shanghai, if you are unlucky, you can't open an old single villa for a year. At this time, you need to rely on the general business of buying and selling houses to survive, and Aunt Xu in the play seems to have no sense of urgency about life.
Having said that, let's get back to reality, because I was also a real estate agent in my early days. Let's talk about my views on it. In real life, such resources and contacts as Aunt Xu are very extensive, and the store manager who takes orders for work and gives orders to subordinates can basically not exist. Maybe everyone has heard of many people's comments on real estate agents: making money by technology.
After watching this drama, I feel that Fang's performance when he first entered the world store is the true portrayal of the real estate agent. Although it seems unreasonable to spy on the list of subordinates and peers, this is the reality. No matter whose list it is, who will sign the contract or see who is skilled and who has strong business ability, the greater the weight of talking in the store.
In addition, the store manager also has his own performance appraisal, which is definitely not like Aunt Xu and her sales staff in the play. They can go to work on time and eat on time every day, especially these two points. Sometimes it is almost impossible to just go out and stroll around the building, and it is common to skip lunch. It is almost impossible to call at night, sort out customer information and get off work on time.
Let's talk about Aunt Xu's connections, from the postman in Shanghai Laoyangfang Hutong to the star and law professor. Aunt Xu Can, relying on her personal resources, can easily solve the problems between houses, prices, lawsuits and buying and selling houses. Does such a store manager really exist?
In real life, you may have heard such an example. An employee joined a real estate agent, finally bought his own house, took the commission and left. Although I don't know whether the story is true or not, this example is similar to that of Aunt Xu taking her own money to help employees, with tens of thousands of dollars at a time and more than once. Nothing like the manager. Like a rich second generation to experience life. In real life, people with this kind of interpersonal circle will never come to be real estate agents. They will only follow their friends, which is better than being real estate agents.
It seems impossible to be an omnipotent and professional manager, or a good person who is kind to anyone. On the one hand, because of the nature of the industry, as the saying goes, buying a house is not to buy cabbage, but to spend the life savings of many families and parents. Whether it is a salesman or a manager, it is a long-term thing not to bill for one month or even two months, but the main income of this profession still depends on the commission of selling houses.
Even if they have a good relationship with employees, they will not pay for it themselves. Work is work, life is life, and personal friendship is no better. Faced with money, they have to make detailed accounts. Such a boss can only live in an ideal life.
