After Xu Wen delivered the evidence found in Jingxin Tea House to Liang Shi, he did not return to Zhongjiang immediately. Instead, he returned to Ruyi Hotel to catch up on his sleep. When he went downstairs to eat at noon, Xu Wen happened to meet the hotel manager again.
Boss Jiang Xin.
"Hey, Mr. Xu didn't go out to do anything today?" Boss Jiang greeted enthusiastically.
"I just want to have some food and go out in the afternoon."
"Let's go, let's go together. There's a new Sichuan noodle restaurant next door. They say it's very delicious. Let's go and try it together."
"OK."
Xu Wen was not polite. He followed Jiang Xin to the Sichuan noodle shop, ordered two bowls of noodle soup, and ate it. Xu Wen asked while eating:
"Boss Jiang, that boss Wu from Hongda Auto Repair Factory is very rich, right?"
"Of course." Jiang Xin stuffed a mouthful of noodles into his mouth and said:
"Boss Wu's auto repair shop is just a side business. He mainly deals in second-hand car business. Most of the stores in Gui'an second-hand car trading market are owned by Boss Wu. I heard that Boss Wu's way is very wild. Used cars
The shipment volume is very large, and many cars are sold to other provinces in the southwest and northwest."
"So powerful?" Xu Wen asked pretending to be surprised.
"No, don't look at the cool Brother Long we met that day. He is not as smooth as Boss Wu in society now. Boss Wu has his own ways in both the underworld and the white world. He has acquaintances in every department of the government. He is from all walks of life in society.
We all know each other. I heard..." Jiang Xin looked around and whispered to Xu Wen:
"I heard that he is also the backend boss of several debt collection companies in Gui'an."
"Oh, that's quite powerful." Xu Wen nodded.
"However, Boss Wu is still a very good person. He is very loyal to his brothers. He always pays for the car club gatherings. Even most of the expenses for attending the Alxa Conference every year are paid by Boss Wu."
"Then Boss Wu is really good."
"Yes, after you settle down here and get familiar with Boss Wu, you will get to know him better."
Later, he chatted with Boss Jiang for a while, and after the two of them finished eating the noodles in their bowls, they left separately. Xu Wen was still thinking about the unseen workshop of Hongda Auto Repair Factory. After listening to Jiang Xin’s speech today,
After the introduction, I decided to go to the second-hand car trading market first.
The second-hand car trading market in Gui'an City was rebuilt from an abandoned factory. A tall water tower made of red bricks stands in the center of the market, with the words "Gui'an Second-hand Car Market" hanging on it. The original factory building of the factory
After the warehouses were divided and renovated, they became used car trading stores one by one.
Xu Wen drove around twice and found no second-hand car store named after Hongda, so he parked the car in front of a larger store, got out of the car and walked into the store.
As soon as he walked to the door, a young man in a suit came out, greeted him warmly and asked:
"Boss, are you here to buy a car or deliver it?"
Xu Wen turned his head and glanced at the Audi he was driving and said:
"I want to change one."
After hearing Xu Wen's words, the young man's eyes shone brightly and he asked more enthusiastically:
"Oh, that's great, how about we take a look at your car first?"
"OK."
Xu Wen pressed the key to unlock the Audi. The young man first looked around the car, then opened the door and carefully checked the interior. Then he checked the vehicle mileage. Finally, he closed the door and walked to the front of the car.
Zhi took out his cell phone and tinkered with it for a while. He walked to Xu Wen and asked:
"Boss, do you want to sell this car?"
"Ah, look at it and give me a price."
"Please wait a moment, I have sent the vehicle condition information to the company, and they are checking the price. The car has only been driven 30,000 kilometers, and it is like a new car. In addition, Audi has a good value retention, so I believe we can give you a good price."
"Which company are you from?" Xu Wen asked.
"We are from Sifang Trading Company. Look at what's written on the door." The young man said, pointing to the Sifang 168 sign written above the door.
"Is 168 the store number?"
"No, no, there are so many stores. This number is just for good luck. But in this second-hand car market, our company has 15 such stores. The company is strong, so you can rest assured."
"Your boss's surname is Wu, right?"
"Yes, yes, our boss is very powerful. He almost monopolizes the entire second-hand car market in Gui'an."
While the two were chatting, an older clerk came over. He waved his hand to the young man who started, indicating that he could leave, and then bowed slightly to Xu Wen and said:
"Hello, boss, my name is Zhong Wei, and I am the manager of this store."
"Oh, hello, Manager Zhong."
"Excuse me, boss, do you really want to sell this car?"
"Well, yes, I can consider it if the price is right."
"Well, good boss, please come to the office and sit down for a while. Let's talk in detail." Manager Zhong stretched out his hand in a gesture of invitation.
Xu Wen followed Zhong Wei to the office. Zhong Wei closed the door and asked Xu Wen to sit down on the sofa. Then he stared at Xu Wen and asked:
"The boss really wants to sell this car?"
"Yes." Xu Wen nodded. At this time, he could already feel that Zhong Wei's tone had obviously changed.
"Okay! In this case, I will quote you a price, but if the price is lower, don't be too little."
"Go ahead." Xu Wen nodded, understanding what he meant.
"50,000." Zhong Wei stretched out five fingers in front of Xu Wen.
Xu Wen was not surprised by the price. Ever since a different person brought him to this office, he understood that these people must have checked the details of his car. However, he still pretended to be surprised.
said:
"No way. When I bought this car, it cost more than 500,000 yuan, and it has only traveled less than 30,000 kilometers."
"Hey, brother, they are all doing this, so don't pretend to be here." Zhong Wei revealed the truth with a curl of his lips:
"Do you think I'm blind? This car has a license plate starting with Jiang U. It's an official vehicle of the Jiangnan Provincial Government. Do you have the right to sell it?"
"This?" Xu Wen pretended to be a little flustered.
"I'll give you 50,000 yuan. If you don't want to sell it, just drive away. Don't call the police in later."
"Can't we add more?"
"What the hell, you'll have to be careful when you steal a car from now on. This kind of car has a satellite locator on it. I guarantee that the police are already on their way here."
"Ah, really?" Xu Wen pretended to be surprised.
"Why did I lie to you? Hurry up. If you want to sell it, take the money and leave. If you don't want to sell it, drive away." Zhong Wei stood up and rushed Xu Wen out.
"Okay, okay, sell it, I'll sell it, can you give me cash?"
Zhong Wei took out his key and opened a drawer on his desk, took out five bundles of banknotes and threw them in front of Xu Wen, then stretched out his hand towards Xu Wen.
Xu Wen first put five bundles of banknotes into his pocket, then handed the key to Zhong Wei's hand and asked:
"Aren't you afraid of satellite positioning?"
Zhong Wei took the key with a smile on his face and pushed Xu Wen out of the office. The two got into Xu Wen's car. After Xu Wen took away his personal belongings and got out of the car, Zhong Wei started the engine and drove the vehicle away.
