It is not impossible to use the relationship between a friend's father (the boss of a real estate company) to obtain internal home purchase discounts, but it is necessary to operate carefully to avoid embarrassment or legal risks for both parties. The following are the key points and suggestions to consider： --- ### **1. Clarify the nature of the ”internal employee price"** -**Legality verification**: First confirm whether the company has a legal internal housing purchase policy (such as employee welfare housing, targeted discounts, etc.) to avoid illegal operations (such as disguised benefit transfer). -**Scope of application**: Some companies' employee benefits are limited to immediate family members. Friends may not be eligible. You need to understand the rules in advance. --- ### **2. Communication methods and scales** -**Indirect communication through friends**: First explain your intention to buy a house to your friends, and ask them for help to ask if there is a suitable preferential channel, so as to avoid directly contacting executives (which may embarrass the other party). -**Avoid coercion or frequent pressure**: If the other party politely refuses, respect the decision, and maintaining the long-term interests of the relationship is more important than short-term interests. --- ### **3. Legal and ethical risks** -**Put an end to “gray operations”**: If the other party proposes to require false employment relationships, forged contracts, etc., be sure to refuse. Such acts may involve legal issues such as fraud and tax evasion. -**Weighing human kindness and principles**: Even if the other party is willing to help, it is necessary to consider whether friends and families will bear internal audit or reputational risks. --- ### **4. Alternative** -**Public promotional discounts**: Many developers will launch down payment installments, holiday discounts, etc., which can be obtained through formal channels. -**Group purchase or intermediary channels**: Participate in group purchase activities in cooperation with developers, or find senior intermediaries to obtain additional discounts (such as commission refunds). --- ### **5. If you successfully get the discount, you need to pay attention：** -**Written contract guarantee**: All terms are written in the formal home purchase contract to avoid verbal commitments. -**Tax compliance**: The difference may be regarded as ”accidental income" and tax professionals need to be consulted. --- ###**Summary suggestions** If the internal price is the company's public policy and allows “relatives and friends” to apply, you can politely fight for it; if special operations are required, it is recommended to abandon it. The purchase of a house involves large amounts of funds and legal terms. **Priority is given to transparent and safe methods** to avoid big losses due to small ones.
