9-46 Buy a car in a provincial capital and meet an acquaintance
Liu Ziguang patted Xuanzi on the shoulder: "Brother, is your business okay recently?"
"It's okay, but recently the smuggling investigation along the coast has been very intense, which has cut off my supply of goods. I just rely on repairing cars, which is not good enough." Mr. Com sighed sadly, his car repair shop is actually a front.
, mainly engaged in the business of smuggling black cars, the auto parts repair industry is highly competitive, and there is no hope of making a fortune from this.
"After some time, follow me to open a repair station in a foreign country. I guarantee you will be prosperous in one year." Liu Ziguang said.
"Foreign country? Which country? What should I do if I am tricked by someone I am not familiar with?" Xuanzi still looked confused, not knowing what kind of medicine Brother Liu was selling in his gourd.
"Hey, you will understand by then. Whenever you are free, accompany me to the provincial capital to buy a car."
When it came to buying a car, Xuanzi's eyes lit up: "Okay, I'm free now."
The automobile market in Jiangbei City is not large. Many big brands have not opened 4S stores. If you want to buy cars in bulk, you cannot get preferential prices. What Liu Ziguang wants to buy is not just one or two cars, but an entire fleet. This is
You have to go to the big car market in the southern suburbs of the provincial capital.
Just go, the two of them immediately headed to the provincial capital. Liu Ziguang usually used two cars, one was an Audi A6 that was auctioned by Chenguang Machinery Factory, and the other was a Buick Enclave given by Director Jin, which Xuanzi admired.
He owns a Land Cruiser and has a full-time driver, Ma Chao, who was a car washer at the auto repair shop back then. The young man has now changed careers and is working as a car squad leader at Red Star Company.
On the way to the provincial capital, Liu Ziguang told Xuanzi his plan. Xisadamoya is a small and backward country in West Africa. I am afraid that there are not many people in the country who can repair cars, so we must provide our own maintenance personnel.
Xuanzi, who had been a car soldier, was the best candidate.
Xuanzi lowered his head and thought about it for a long time, then asked: "How many years have I not touched a gun? I'm afraid it will drag everyone down."
Liu Ziguang laughed loudly: "Xuanzi, what are you thinking about? It's not like I'm going to fight on the front line, or I'm just going to set up a repair station in the rear. When I get power, I guarantee that you will monopolize their nationwide auto repair business."
"I am the one who handles the auto repair business all over the country?"
A few comrades in arms, let’s see if they are interested in it. I heard that my group of veterans didn’t live a good life, so if they have such an opportunity, they will definitely be willing to go.”
In early spring, March is the season when rapeseed flowers are in full bloom. Both sides of the highway are surrounded by an endless ocean of yellow, with blue sky and yellow flowers. It is full of spring. The road is smooth for thousands of miles. Enclair is speeding like lightning, rushing left and right, as if it is touching the ground.
The flight was average, and the 400-kilometer journey was completed in only two and a half hours.
Along the beltway, we came directly to the large car sales market located in the southern suburbs of the provincial capital. There were car 4S stores of various brands on both sides of the road. At a glance, there were many car signs and overcrowded people. There were also balloons and ribbons floating in the air. It turned out that today
It was the opening day of the spring auto show in the provincial capital, and Liu Ziguang and the others were really lucky.
Park the car on the side of the road, follow the signs and go straight to the off-road vehicle and SUV display area. The place is crowded and bustling. Three people are walking around in the sea of people. Most of the so-called city SUVs are just superficial. The car chassis and powerful
The outer casing can be sold for more than ten or two hundred thousand yuan. In the eyes of Xuanzi and Ma Chao, it is simply a money scam.
Of course, there are genuine off-road vehicles, such as Land Rover and Jeep, which are the kings of off-road vehicles. Liu Ziguang is very impressed by the Land Rover brand. Just like the Chinese recognize the Land Cruiser, some old Europeans living in Africa also recognize the Land Rover brand.
, when you see Land Rover, you will think of such a scene. In the endless African wilderness, the sun is burning, European mercenaries carrying fal rifles are lying lazily on the Land Rover jeep, with sun visors covering their faces, and giraffes are
Walking gracefully along the edge of the jungle.
Land Rover was born for Africa, but its price prohibits Liu Ziguang. The domestic price of the Land Rover Defender, which is most suitable for military use, is around 750,000, which is almost as much as the cost of two armored vehicles, so Liu Ziguang prefers this one.
car, but had to give it up due to cost considerations.
After admiring the static display of Land Rover, the three of them moved to the Jeep Wrangler booth next door. It was more popular than the Land Rover booth. A large group of people gathered around the booth, talking and watching enthusiastically.
The booth was arranged into a rugged wilderness terrain, with a fiery red two-door Wrangler Jeep parked on it. The rugged tires and simple and heroic shape all displayed the immortal charm of the classic Jeep.
There are two models, a male and a female, posing constantly next to the car. The male is wearing a beret, a beard, a camouflage T-shirt and high-waisted military boots, with a resolute and indifferent look on his face, and the female is wearing a black leather jacket.
He was wearing a big-brimmed hat and a tight-fitting vest in camouflage shorts, exposing his toned thighs and lying on the hood of the Wrangler, causing the flashing lights all around him to flash.
"This car is awesome!" Xuanzi couldn't help but praise it. He is a complete Jeep addict. Last year, he was kidnapped by an overseas gambling gang in order to buy Willys from the Vietnam War. If Liu Ziguang hadn't taken action, he would have lost his life in Myanmar.
He also used his own resources to transform a scrapped Beijing Jeep 2020 into a copycat Wrangler, which shows how much he loves Jeep.
Ma Chao also had an eager light in his eyes. He lay beside the booth and stared at the Wrangler greedily. Influenced by Xuanzi, he was also a loyal fan of Jeep, but with his current salary, he might not be able to eat or drink for the rest of his life.
I can't afford a Wrangler either.
It is a good time to buy a car today. All major manufacturers have launched discounts for car ordering. These imported off-road vehicles that usually do not sell well have even greater discounts. If you order a car on the spot, the discount can reach 20,000 yuan. In other words, if you spend 4
With 150,000 cash, you can drive a Wrangler home.
However, in the traditional concept of the Chinese people, what they appreciate most is a stable sedan. A two-door off-road vehicle like this is just a toy. Most families cannot accept it, and neither can their workplaces. They are willing to spend four to five million to buy a Wrangler.
They are usually car enthusiasts, that is, a group of people who have money, leisure, and elegant style.
These were the people surrounding the Wrangler booth. A group of fashionably dressed young men and women were chattering and making comments. Suddenly Liu Ziguang heard a familiar voice: "Wow, this car is really cool, but the model is too ugly."
Then I saw Yuan Lin standing among a group of boys and girls laughing and joking. The boys were handsome and the girls were pretty. The other onlookers subconsciously kept a certain distance from them, so as not to get too close and feel ashamed.
.
This group of teenagers were noisy and playful as if there was no one around. Liu Ziguang's eyes quickly scanned them, but he did not find Fang Fei. He was a little confused. The two sisters were always inseparable, and Fang Fei was currently studying at the Provincial Medical University.
With plenty of spare time, how could a place with Yuan Lin be missing Fang Fei.
So he walked over and patted Yuan Lin's shoulder. Before Yuan Lin could turn around, a young man standing next to him shoved Liu Ziguang: "What are you doing?" His words were very unkind.
Yuan Lin turned around and saw Liu Ziguang, and immediately smiled: "Brother-in-law! Why are you here?" Then she introduced to her friends: "This is my brother-in-law, how do you think, handsome?" Then she said to Liu Ziguang: "Brother-in-law, these are
They are all friends from the same compound of ours, we have been playing together since childhood."
Liu Ziguang suddenly realized that no wonder these young people had such a strong aura. It turned out that they were all young ladies who had been respected and spoiled since childhood. No matter where they went, they were their home court.
However, this group of people had very good tutors. When they heard that he was Yuan Lin's brother-in-law, they all greeted Liu Ziguang politely. The young man who just shoved Liu Ziguang also grinned and said: "I heard you
This thing is quite legendary."
Liu Ziguang also shook hands with them politely. He noticed that the core figure of this group of boys and girls was a young man in his twenties, with a medium build and a gentle manner. There was a feeling of spring breeze in his movements.
This man took the initiative to extend his hand to Liu Ziguang: "I have long admired you, Han Jue."
Liu Ziguang stretched out his hand to shake his hand and introduced himself: "Nice to meet you, Liu Ziguang."
Yuan Lin chuckled at the side and said: "You two made it so formal, it's like a meeting between national leaders."
Han Jue's hands were warm and strong, and his smile was extremely charming, but Liu Ziguang felt that his smile was filled with a kind of slight contempt and hostility.
"Liu Ziguang!" Suddenly there was a shout of surprise from behind. Liu Ziguang knew that Fang Fei was coming without turning around. As soon as he turned around, Fang Fei rushed over and hung on him like a koala.
The two cones I just bought have long been thrown to the ground.
Yuan Lin stomped his feet angrily: "Sister, you can't do this, you have to pay for my cone."
Fang Fei ignored him, put her arms around Liu Ziguang's neck and said coquettishly: "You bastard, why did you come here? Didn't you say you came to see me at least once a week?"
Liu Ziguang smiled and said: "Isn't this coming? How long do you plan to hang up? Everyone is watching."
Fang Fei shyly stuck out her tongue and got off Liu Ziguang, but she was still jumping up and down and looked very excited. Liu Ziguang scratched her nose and said, "You are already a master's student, why do you still look like this?"
A little kid.”
"I'm just a child." Fang Fei said angrily, and Yuan Lin also joined in the fun: "I am also a child, my brother-in-law must love me." The two sisters are wearing the same style of jeans and small shirts today, simple and elegant.
Showing off their figures, they are simply a pair of top-notch sisters.
The teenagers in the compound all laughed and joked, but Han Jue stood silent with a smile on his face. After a long time, Yuan Lin returned to the topic, pointed at the Wrangler Jeep and said: "Sister, don't you think this car is cool?"
"Well, it's cool." Although Fang Fei doesn't know much about cars, beautiful things in the world are all connected. The tough lines and rough style of the Wrangler Rubicon will make both men and women fall in love with it at the first time.
"I really want it. If I drive this to school, it will definitely attract attention!" Yuan Lin waved his small fists in front of his chest, his eyes filled with anticipation.
Fang Fei ignored her and just hugged Liu Ziguang's arm. Yuan Lin glanced at her sister and said angrily: "Sister, you can't value sex over friends like this. You have to know how many times I ride a motorcycle to take you to school every day.
Thank you for your hard work, now I want to buy this car, how much are you going to sponsor?"
"Well, five hundred dollars, okay?" Fang Fei said seriously.
Yuan Lin's nose was almost crooked with anger: "Sister, for a car worth 450,000 yuan, you just sponsor me 500 yuan. Do you dare to spend less? Didn't my brother-in-law give you a 5 million bonus last time? Take it out and use it.
Ah, money is for enjoyment."
Fang Fei shook her head like a rattle: "I don't have that money. I only have five hundred yuan, which is just this month's living expenses."
"Sister, you are such a tough guy and never pluck out a dime. Brother-in-law, please help me a little bit." Yuan Lin turned to beg Liu Ziguang again, shaking Liu Ziguang's arms with a pair of small hands, pouting his little mouth, his eyes full of expectation.
Liu Ziguang knew that Yuan Lin was serious, and he would not think anything of this girl because of this, because he knew that based on Yuan Lin's family background, four to five million in her eyes was about the same as four to five million in the eyes of ordinary people, even if
It's not shameful to ask your brother-in-law to borrow money to buy something, and it's not out of character.
But he still smiled and shook his head: "No, this is a luxury item, we can't afford it."
At this time, Han Jue, who had been silent until now, spoke up: "Xiao Lin, brother Jue bought it for you to open, okay?"
Really? Great, Brother Jue, you are so great!" Yuan Lin jumped up happily.
Han Jue was so unambiguous that he immediately called the salesperson over and expressed his intention to buy the Wrangler. However, the salesperson said apologetically that all current cars were sold out and those who wanted to buy a car would have to wait three months.
Han Jue was unmoved and said directly: "Call your manager."
Seeing his extraordinary demeanor, the salesperson called the manager over. Han Jue stepped forward to negotiate with him, came back and said with a smile: "It's done, this red prototype car now belongs to us."
"Really? That's great!" The teenagers got excited and swarmed over to play with the Wrangler. Han Jue took out a black bank card and handed it to the salesperson.
The Jeep salesperson is also a well-informed person, but he was surprised when he saw this black diamond card. This is a special card specially prepared by the bank for government cadres above the division level. The overdraft limit is 500,000, and not everyone
All department-level cadres can have this kind of card, and the requirements for issuance are very harsh and strict. How can it not be shocking that this young man who looks like he is only in his twenties can actually have a senior civil servant black diamond card?
Liu Ziguang was also a little surprised, thinking that these big boys were really generous. They would buy big toys worth four to five hundred thousand without any hesitation. But then he could tell from Han Jue's eyes that this was not the case.
