I took a taxi, found a driving school, and dropped 10,000 yuan. At this time, it cost more than 4,000 yuan to get a driver's license. For Li Yifan, who had a driver's license in his previous life, going to a driving school in this life is a waste of time!
At the age of 30, he is aware of the unspoken rules of this society.
When the teacher at the driving school saw 10,000 yuan and a good cat cigarette worth more than 200 yuan, he immediately patted his chest and got his driver's license in three days, but pretended to be professional and said: "Brother, you must be able to drive.
Otherwise I will harm you!"
Although my skills are not that good, it is more than enough to get a driver's license. I got into the car and walked around the driving school playground. When I got off, the teacher smiled all over his face: "Brother, not bad, my skills are not bad!"
Now that he has obtained his driver's license, Li Yifan couldn't hold back and wanted to buy a car. In his previous life, he was a poor man who could only drool while looking at other people's cars. Now that he is rich, his desires have become overwhelming.
In 2000, the car market was not booming and prices were relatively expensive, so he wandered into the car market.
At this time, China had not joined the WTO, and the tax rate for imported large-displacement cars above 3.0 liters was as high as 100%.
He likes off-road vehicles and was "drooling" while standing next to a 2.9-displacement Pajero V73. The lady at the car dealer didn't think he looked like a car buyer. Unexpectedly, after he drooled, he waved to the lady and she left.
When I was close, I heard him say: "How much?"
The lady smiled and replied: "480,000 before tax!"
When Li Yifan heard this number, his face turned green: "How do you quote such a price?"
The lady looked at him with a bored look: "If you want to buy it, buy it. If you don't want to buy it, don't touch it!"
In 2000, the service attitude of many industries was relatively poor, including telecommunications, banks, and car sellers. Unlike in later generations, competition in the telecommunications industry was fierce, and business promotion calls could be made to your home.
As soon as Li Yifan heard this, he immediately shouted: "Manager, where is the manager?"
The manager of the car dealership was alarmed by the sound and ran over. He looked at Li Yifan and saw that the latter was furious.
"What's going on? Can't you touch this car?" Li Yifan patted the front hood of the Pajero and made a "bang bang" sound.
"Sir, I'm sorry!" The manager looked at Li Yifan's confident expression, stared hard at the lady, and then said with a smile: "Sir, do you want to pick up the car today?"
"Mention it, why don't you mention it? But I don't like the price of this car!"
Li Yifan was addicted to smoking again. He took out a Yuxi cigarette and handed one to the manager. The manager didn't want one, so he was not polite. He lit the cigarette, smoked, and then blew smoke rings.
Although Li Yifan was not a good person in his previous life, and although he was afraid of being tough, he would not be polite to people who pretended to be 13.
The manager looked at his skillful smoking and said with a smile: "Well, I'll give you a pre-tax discount of 5,000 yuan!"
"Okay, let's pay the bill!" Li Yifan looked at the car sales lady next to him and squinted his eyes: "Little girl, how about going out for a ride with my brother later?"
The car sales lady had been timid just now, but now she seemed even more cowardly.
The manager glared at her: "It's embarrassing, why don't you leave!"
After swiping the card and completing the procedures, the manager still smiled apologetically: "Mr. Li, you can pick up the car tomorrow!"
"Money can make you a fool," Li Yifan said dissatisfiedly: "Well, help me get the license plate right." After saying that, he took out a few thousand yuan from his pocket and quietly handed it to the manager.
The manager immediately burst into laughter: "Okay, okay, but I have to pick it up the day after tomorrow. No delay, right?"
Li Yifan paid some more fees for the manager to handle the procedures, then waved his hand and said: "Let's go, the day after tomorrow, I will pick up the car on Sunday!"
After leaving the car dealership, Li Yifan exhaled and sighed: "I finally installed 13 today. I don't know if it will affect my time and space offset, otherwise I will suffer a big loss!"
In the previous life, everyone called Li Yifan's counselor "Jia Bujia", which meant that he accepted things but did not do anything for the students.
It is true that he failed the exam, so he gave gifts to Jia Bujia, hoping that he could help, but the school is very strict about students' test scores. Although Jia Bujia is a counselor, he has no ability to "tamper with" scores.
However, he still accepted gifts or red envelopes from students, which made many students who spent a lot of unjust money resentful.
Although Li Yifan had a miserable life in his previous life, he had already passed the long-awaited score in college subject examinations, so he did not "beg" Jia Bujia much in his previous life and had no contact with Jia Bujia.
These days, the salary of university faculty and staff is not high. Jia Bujia's salary is less than 20,000 yuan a year. This is the biggest reason why he cannot resist the temptation to accept "gift money" from students.
Jia Bujia couldn't call Li Yifan by his name at this time. For someone like Jia Bujia who also eats and drinks and always crowds with a bunch of poker friends during holidays, how could Li Yifan expect him to remember his name?
name?
"Hello, Teacher Jia!" Li Yifan smiled after seeing that fat face.
Jia Bujie looked at him and then saw the bag he was carrying. He smiled quickly and said: "Come in, come in, you are a student in the class, your name is..."
His words were drawn out for a long time, and Li Yifan hurriedly said: "My name is Li Yifan!"
Jia Bujia's woman also came out of the house, and Li Yifan hurriedly said warmly: "Hello, Master, I'm here to see you today!"
"Just come, what do you need to bring?" the woman also said with a smile.
Li Yifan didn't know much about women, so he couldn't say much about her.
After sitting down, they served tea, took a few sips, and started chatting. Fortunately, Li Yifan was thick-skinned and was able to talk and laugh happily during the chat. After a few rounds, Jia Bujia and the woman looked at him with admiration.
Already.
The woman said at this time: "Xiao Li is good, he will definitely be very promising in the future. If you come to see your Teacher Jia today for anything, just tell him, you are welcome, Teacher Jia will help you with anything he can!"
Jia Bujia was smoking the Yuxi cigarette that Li Yifan gave him. Li Yifan said: "Teacher Jia, Mrs. Jia, it's like this. Our family will do some business in Xijing. I will not live in the school from next semester. Also, in the future
Maybe I have to participate in the family business, and I might not be able to come to school classes." When Li Yifan saw Jia Bujia and the woman's eyes light up, he hurriedly said: "But I will definitely come to take the exam, Jia
Teacher, there is no need to worry about my test scores. I just want to ask you to allow me to live out, otherwise I may miss classes."
"What kind of business does your family do?" the woman asked hurriedly.
Li Yifan said: "Doing some real estate is nothing." He began to fool the two of them.
I saw Jia Bujia and the two of them immediately looked at him high.
This is the reality, especially for people like Jia Bujia.
"It's actually not a big problem if you don't come to class, but you must pass the exam. There are more than ten courses in a semester, and I can't help you with every one, especially the public courses in some schools." Jia Bujie feels right.
Young people like Li Yifan cannot just guarantee their future.
"Don't worry about the exam!"
Later, Li Yifan chatted with him about his family life again, asking whether Mr. Jia particularly likes playing cards, fishing, etc. Although I don’t like playing cards very much, I am quite interested in fishing. When will I drive a car and take you and my wife out together?
fishing.
Jia Bujia was enraptured by Li Yifan's words.
Before leaving, he left his mobile phone number for Jia Bujia, took out an envelope, stuffed it into the woman's hand, and said: "Master's wife, Teacher Jia, originally my father wanted to come and have a rest, but he was too busy. The gift is
I gave it as a token of filial piety to my teacher. And this one is given by my father, so I treat it as if he is treating you two to a simple meal."
The woman pushed away, but Li Yifan didn't give her a chance.
After Li Yifan left, the woman hurriedly opened the envelope and counted the numbers. Jia Bujia picked up the bag, looked at it, and said: "This student is really good at things and has a bright future in the future. Yeah, two pieces of soft Chinese,
There are also two bottles of Maotai.”
After the woman counted the money, she said happily: "He is a nice young man. He gave him 5,000 yuan, which is almost the same as my half-year salary. You should protect him more in the future."
As soon as Li Yifan left the family building, he spat and said, "Grandma, why didn't I have this eloquence in my previous life? Why do I always act with the benefit of hindsight?"
Looking at these family buildings, which were less than 6 floors in 2000, Li Yifan remembered his master's tutor in his previous life and thought, is he still working as a postdoctoral fellow in the United States?
Who cares, maybe he doesn't have much to do with him in this life, so he has to let it go. When Li Yifan thought of this, he felt a lot more comfortable.
After solving a big problem in the future, Li Yifan came to the backstreet of the school. It was not too late. He wanted to talk to the owner of the Saturday Internet cafe.
As soon as he entered the door, the man looked up and saw him, and said with a smile: "You haven't gone home yet!"
Li Yifan said: "In two days! It's a holiday. How is the business?"
"Not so good!" said the boss, "Do you want a machine?"
"No, I have nothing to do. Come and talk to someone. How about I invite you to have a drink? Just have a network administrator here!" Li Yifan said.
The boss was also a young man at this time, probably under 30 years old. He hurriedly replied: "Okay, let's go!" After that, he stood up, gave instructions to the Internet cafe, and walked out of the Internet cafe with Li Yifan.
"Brother Zhang, how are you? What do you think of the future development of the Internet cafe industry?" After the two exchanged their names and family information on the road, Li Yifan finally found out that this person's surname was Zhang, from Xijing, married and childless.
"I didn't go to college!" Brother Zhang said at the beginning.
It was normal for people who didn’t go to college before 2000, but for those who didn’t go to college in 2010, it’s a little abnormal.
"I can't do any in-depth theoretical analysis on industry trends, but I feel that opening an Internet cafe is indeed a very profitable thing. However, my store is too small, so it's just a small business."
Li Yifan silently calculated. His so-called small shop has 15 machines. It costs 4 yuan an hour during the day and 20 yuan to charter a machine from 11pm to 8am. In this way, the turnover of each machine is 80 yuan.
15 machines cost 1,200 yuan a day. Taking into account the 20% empty rate, it comes to 960 yuan.
After Li Yifan came up with this number, he did not continue to calculate silently. He shook his head: "Not bad."
Brother Zhang smiled: "The hardware investment is too big."
