Chapter 19 Buying a car and practicing it
"Thank you, Tian Gou." Li Yuqing wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes and stared at the other person with big watery eyes.
Tian Gou showed an excited smile. He mistakenly thought that he had further contact with the goddess in his mind.
In fact, Li Yuqing already felt extremely disgusted with Tian Gou in her heart.
What he just said was almost unbearable to her, and even made her want to spit out the food she had just swallowed immediately.
At this moment, she couldn't help but feel contempt for this gullible fool. He had no interest at all.
Despite this, she still believes that having an ATM like Tian Gou may not be a bad thing.
"Yuqing, try this lemon cheesecake, we will go shopping in the city later."
"Okay."
Li Yuqing took the hand from Tian Gou He picked up a small spoon and ate the cake elegantly, thinking about what he would buy for him later.
Tian Gou looked at Li Yuqing's jade-like smooth and elegant face, with a trace of obsession in his eyes.
He couldn't help but sigh in his heart, this beautiful girl seemed to be the goddess in his dreams.
Every detail of the exquisite facial features and charming silhouette is like a carefully crafted work of art, making people immersed in it and unable to extricate themselves.
Chen Xi walked straight into one of the second-hand car dealerships, which was one of the two car dealerships he carefully selected last time.
"Where is the boss's car from last time?" Chen Xi found the boss and asked.
"That car has been reserved. You're late." The boss spread his hands helplessly and showed an apologetic expression.
"Hey, Barnaby is here to pick up the car." The boss shouted enthusiastically not far away.
"Yes, has it been cleaned up? The company is in a hurry to use the car." A strong man about forty years old approached. His dazzling short blond hair complemented his rough work clothes, as if he was A typical image of a manual worker.
“It’s all done.” The owner of the car dealership shook hands with the other person enthusiastically.
"I'm sorry that your car was bought by him. Why don't you look at other cars."
The boss said to Chen Xi while counting the bills handed over by the other party, and pointed to other cars and let him choose.
“Forget it, what we want to buy is a van, there is no other suitable one.”
Chen Xi shook his head. He had already seen all the cars here, and only that one was bought. The car has the best value for money.
"Are you buying a van to transport goods?" the man known as Barnaby asked.
"Well, I do moving and freight..." Dongdong looked at the strong man in front of him and responded.
"Oh? Moving? You Chinese people want to mess up the moving market again?"
Barnaby's tone was originally kind, but gradually became more targeted, making Chen Xi and the others feel a little uncomfortable.
“You Chinese people disrupt the market wherever you go. Not only do you work on weekends, but you also keep prices so low that your peers cannot survive.” Barnaby put his hands on his hips and was excited. said.
"To make money, everyone depends on their ability." Chen Xi lit a cigarette, smiled at the other party, and then left with Dongdong and the two of them.
There are many reasons why Chinese people suffer discrimination locally, one of which is this phenomenon.
Although Barnaby's words are sharp, he reveals an indisputable fact.
With their hard-working spirit and low prices, Chinese people have occupied a place in most industries, and have even forced many well-known local companies into difficulties.
This also caused many locals to have a dislike for them.
In addition, local people have the habit of closing down business on weekends to rest. However, Chinese people work seven days and never take a holiday every year, which makes it impossible for local companies to compete with them.
This long-standing contradiction and misunderstanding has made the conflict between the two parties intensified.
"Hmph, I won't let you destroy this industry. I've been here for more than ten years!" Barnaby saw that Chen Xi had no intention of arguing with him, so he shouted towards their leaving figures, He looked excited, like someone owed him money.
"Why is this man so crazy? Have we provoked him?" Dongdong said with a furious look.
“I don’t understand, Gui Lao’s brain circuit has always been different from ours.” Xiao Ming frowned.
Xiao Ming and Dongdong are just ordinary students. They have just graduated from high school and have no work experience, so they do not understand the meaning of what Barnaby said.
"You are still young, you will understand later." Chen Xi blew out a smoke ring, with a complex emotion in his eyes.
"I'll go, I'm one year older than you, and two years older than Xiao Ming, okay."
Dongdong looked at Chen Xi, his eyes full of puzzlement and confusion, like It's like looking at a fool.
"Okay, let's go to the next store. There's another one." After Chen Xi finished smoking, he threw the cigarette butt on the ground and stamped it out.
As the backbone of the team, he must inspire the morale of others and cannot fall before things get started.
At another car dealership not far away, Chen Xi brought Dongdong and Xiao Ming to the door.
"When you go in later, if the car is still there, don't say anything. I will bargain with them."
Before entering, he gave the two special instructions. .
"I'll go, manual transmission?" Although the car was still parked there, Dongdong couldn't help but exclaimed when he saw it was a manual transmission.
"How about otherwise." Chen Xi pointed at the surroundings. They were all dilapidated cars. Only this one looked pleasing to the eye and the price was right.
"The terrain in Tu'ao is mostly hilly, which is difficult to drive." Dongdong said with a look of embarrassment on his face.
Although Dongdong knows how to drive, the road in Tu'ao is really difficult to describe.
When I was in high school, it was a little difficult for the school bus to climb uphill.
It often happens that it slides back quickly. The scene is not to mention how exciting it is. It is just like a roller coaster in an amusement park.
“These big cars are basically manual transmission.”
Seeing that Dongdong looked a little unhappy, the owner of the car dealership quickly opened his mouth to explain.
The boss is a white guy, about fifty years old, who looks quite amiable and gives the impression that he is easy to talk to.
"Boss, you see, we are all students who want to start a business and have limited funds on hand. I wonder if you can give us some discounts?"
Chen Xi did not act like Others do that, nit-picking the vehicle from the get-go and then trying to haggle over the price.
He knows that for an experienced old man like the boss, who has seen all kinds of people and things, if he uses clever counteroffering methods, it will make people disgusted.
Therefore, he chose to be honest about his needs and budget, and believed that this seemingly very kind boss should be a good person to talk to.
"No problem, my daughter also works in China. She said that the people there are very enthusiastic..."
The boss talked about his granddaughter, and as soon as he talked about it, he Nearly an hour.
Although it sounded a bit lengthy, Chen Xi and the other three listened patiently to the end.
This move made the boss have a good impression of the three of them.
Perhaps, it seems to be a common problem for older people that they like to share stories with others.
After some counter-offering, they finally bought the seven-year-old van for 18,000.
The capacity of the car is not large and it can only transport some smaller furniture. However, this does not have much impact. It just depends on how many times it is pulled. Anyway, the gas price at this time is not high.
