MTL - My Years As a Car Dealer-Chapter 222 : sky-high asking price
Chapter 0222: The sky is asking price
Zhang Chen just turned around and found that two people were crowding towards him in the crowd. They were Wang Keqiang and another fat, smiling middle-aged man who looked like Maitreya Buddha.
Zhang Chen knew this chubby car dealer. He was Wang Keqiang's colleague when he first joined the Four Seas Car dealership. His name was Zhao Xianlong, and he had a very good relationship with Wang Keqiang.
After Zhang Xianlong got acquainted with the second-hand car industry in the four-sea car dealership, he found that the unlimited business opportunities in it was a good way to make money, so he resigned and went on his own. business.
Don't look at his charitable eyebrows, but he has a hot temper and fights every time he disagrees.
"Zhang Chen, I'm looking for you." Wang Keqiang let out a long sigh of relief when he saw Zhang Chen, and then quickly stated his purpose.
It turns out that Zhao Xianlong is a genuine fan of German fans and crock pots, and he likes the Volkswagen R36 very much.
However, the Volkswagen R36 is a rare car that can be encountered and cannot be found, and Zhao Xianlong has never had the chance to make his wish.
There is a Volkswagen R36 that he has dreamed of in the auction now. Zhao Xianlong couldn’t sit still, so he asked Wang Keqiang to ask him to look at the car. If the car is in good condition, he should buy the car anyway.
Facing the love in his heart, Zhao Xianlong was very excited, and he was shaken by his identification technology. He wanted to find an expert to check for him, so he found Wang Keqiang.
Wang Keqiang gave a wry smile, his skills and Zhao Xianlong were bald and leprosy, no one should laugh at anyone, but Wang Keqiang patted his head and remembered Zhang Chen, his number one general.
Zhang Chen's second-hand car sales are bad, and used car appraisal is even more bad. He is the grandfather Zhao who has crushed the appraisal of the used car market in the seaside city.
In order to help Zhao Xianlong, Wang Keqiang went all over the world with him to find Zhang Chen.
"Brother, you are Zhang Chen. I've been looking forward to it for a long time." Zhao Xianlong asked for help, and directly raised Zhang Chen's seniority to the same position as Wang Keqiang. He also smiled and shoved two boxes of unopened Soft China into Zhang Chen. hand.
"Old Zhao, I don't smoke." Zhang Chen knew the situation of the Volkswagen R36 very well. He knew that apart from adjusting the watch, the vacuum pump leaked oil. After buying it, he had to change the oil and water and replace all four tires. The condition of the car was still OK.
Zhao Xianlong is a fan of Zhende fans. For his belief, for his feelings, and for the dream/car in his heart, even if he is slapped with tens of thousands of dollars by the grandson of Lai Wu, it is worth it.
So looking at Wang Keqiang's face, Zhang Chen planned to help Zhao Xianlong, but Zhang Chen didn't smoke, so he pushed back two packs of Soft Zhonghua.
Zhang Chen didn't even accept his own cigarettes. Zhao Xianlong became angry all of a sudden, staring at Zhang Chen with small round eyes and shouting, "Damn, you don't want to give you cigarettes, do you look down on labor and management? Take it."
Are you still unwilling to help? Ten thousand grass and mud horses galloped through Zhang Chen's heart. He was speechless at Zhao Xianlong's stinky temper. With this temper, he was really angry when he didn't agree. After turning on the hurricane mode, he directly ran into the air. , don't be afraid of ghosts!
"Old Zhao, have you been covered in **** this morning?" How dare you scare Zhang Chen? Wang Keqiang didn't want it anymore, so he slapped Zhao Xianlong's head with a big ear and pointed at his nose, "Don't you look at who he is? What a shame."
"Pharaoh, after more than ten years of friendship, you beat me for a little hairy child?" Zhao Xianlong became angry when he touched his forehead.
Zhao Xianlong eats with big arms and round waist, Zhang Chen can see it, no matter whether it is real or fake, Wang Keqiang, who has thin arms and legs, will not benefit.
So Zhang Chen hurriedly stepped forward to persuade him, relying on his stature and strength to separate Wang Keqiang and Zhao Xianlong.
"Hmph, Zhang Chen doesn't give face, it's cheap for you, old boy." Zhao Xianlong threw a packet of soft Zhonghua to Wang Keqiang, but his face was full of anger, as if he was still angry about what happened just now.
"If Zhang Chen hadn't persuaded me, the labor and management would have beaten you out today." Wang Keqiang tore apart the soft China and threw it to Zhao Xianlong, and rolled his eyes at him, "Tell you, the labor and management have wanted to beat you for a long time. "
"Come on, come on, it's just your thin arms and thin legs, the labor and management are standing here for you to beat." Zhao Xianlong held a cigarette in his mouth and raised his head to despise Wang Keqiang, and even thumped his own moon breast. " If I beat the laborers to death, I'll admit it, but if I can't beat them to death, you kneel down and call me Dad."
"Hey, grandson, is it your face?" Wang Keqiang stretched out his arm and took a step forward, but after comparing his body shape with Zhao Xianlong's, he was still cowardly, so he could only shout at Zhang Chen, "Zhang Chen, come on, take a step. This old boy beat his father who didn't recognize him."
"Okay, okay." Zhang Chen continued to pull the frame, "The auction of the Volkswagen R36 will start soon, and it will be too late to catch up."
Zhang Chen's words hit Zhao Xianlong's heart all of a sudden. Even if he can hang Wang Keqiang now, he can't care. He looks at Lai Wu on the high platform with great anticipation, waiting for the auction of the Volkswagen R36 to start.
The young car dealer took the Cadillac ATS-L for 180,000 yuan, which caused a stir among the crowd.
Not only is the price on the high side, but car dealers don't like its color.
Almost every car has its most classic color, such as the white of the BMW 3 series, the brown of the BMW 5 series, the black of the BMW 7 series, the Biscay blue of the Volkswagen R36, the soul red of the Ma VI, and the Mercedes-Benz A45. Combat ash and more.
As a sports car, this Cadillac ATS-L is the white color of a family car, not the burning red or the powerful black. It loses the high-end atmosphere of the American car, and it is a bit lost.
Lai Wu didn't care about the comments of the car dealers under the steps, and opened his mouth to the crowd: "People are getting more and more weird now, black cars are too easy to get dirty, white cars are too yellow in the future, red Too fancy, beige too old-fashioned, SUVs are unprofessional off-road, pure off-road ones are too expensive for oil and shock absorbers, low-end models are too few functions, high-end models are too expensive, installments are too expensive, imported maintenance is expensive, domestic ones The quality is poor, the car is too wide, it is difficult to park, the car is small and the sheet metal is thin...
Why! Nima! If the car could talk, I would think you are ugly! "
"Hey, Lai Wu, who did you abuse?"
"Boy, your skin is itchy, right?"
"I'm telling the truth, this white Cadillac ATS-L just doesn't look good."
…
People usually find Lai Wu disliked, but now, relying on the car source in his hand, he dares to be so presumptuous.
"Hey, there are people who pick up gold and silver, and there are weird people who pick up scolding?" Lai Wu rolled his eyes and shook his waist, despising the car dealer who found fault, "Whoever talks is scolding."
"Holy shit, Nima, are you still excited?" Lai Wu was not Chen Haojie, or there was a car dealer who didn't scare him. Some people in the crowd couldn't bear the petulant temper and wanted to squeeze in and beat him.
"Everyone is happy to make money, and peace to make money." Most car dealers were afraid that the fight would disrupt the auction, so they had to hold back those car dealers who were mad.
Looking down at the car dealers who wanted to beat him, they were torn apart by their peers and couldn't get over. Lai Wu spat on the ground even more proudly, rolled his eyes and said, "Okay, let's start the Volkswagen R36 auction..."
The long-awaited Volkswagen R36 auction has finally started. Not only the Defan among the car dealers, but also the crock pot fans are about to go high, and even the ordinary car dealers are excited. After all, this car is one of the three great value preservation artifacts. The classic, if you are lucky enough to buy it, you will wait for others to come to the pole and beg to sell it yourself. It is necessary to lie down and collect money.
The crowd was restless for a while. Unlike Cadillac ATS-L, all car dealers who paid the deposit were ready to bid and waited for Lai Wu to reveal the reserve price and announce the official start of the auction.
"The auction reserve price of this Biscay Blue Volkswagen R36 is... 250,000 Chinese dollars."
After Lai Wu announced the reserve price, he looked around the crowd in front of him with his head held high, and his eyes couldn't help showing playfulness and complacency.
And the car dealers below the high steps were agitated again. They were stunned by the auction reserve price announced by Lai Wu, and their teeth were itching with hatred, and even the car dealers who started to persuade him wanted to beat him.
Why?
The reserve price is not too high, but ridiculously high.
In the eyes of car dealers, the Volkswagen R36 is one of the three major value-preserving artifacts, a classic model that has been discontinued, and a car that has long been fascinated by Defan and Crock Pot fans.
Even if it is rare, most car dealers don't know its specific market, but they know that it is an old car that is more than ten years old after all, even if it is in good condition now, according to the price of other classic models For reference, the price of this Volkswagen R36 is between 250,000 and 270,000.
When the car dealer receives the car, he also needs to prepare the oil change, repair some existing problems, and add the cost of transferring the ownership.
Lai Wu's upper lip touched his lower lip, and the reserve price was 25 Huaxia Coins.
This price is far more than the normal price of the Volkswagen R36. Even if you grab it, how can you sell it?
Are car dealers really stupid?
Are all customers who buy cars really stupid?
Is it true that everyone can selflessly dedicate their wallets to the Volkswagen R36?
…
The car dealers were mad, their eyes spitting fire, staring fiercely at Lai Wu and Chen Haojie on the high steps, wishing to drag them down the high steps, beat them to death, and then beat them to death.
Chen Haojie found that his colleagues were staring at him resentfully, the corners of his eyes twitched slightly, there was a hint of panic in his eyes, and there was also blame for the culprit, Lai Wu.
Lai Wu's situation was even more unbearable than Chen Haojie's. His body was trembling slightly, his liver was beating wildly, and he even had the urge to turn around and run away.
Because Lai Wu's lion opened his mouth wide and asked for a price, the scene of the auction was a bit awkward for a while.
After a few minutes in the cold, a car dealer finally couldn't bear it anymore and protested loudly at Lai Wu: "Are you crazy about money?"
This is how Huaxia people are. With someone taking the lead, the rest of the car dealers who were dissatisfied with the price followed in protest:
"That's right, you might as well go to the robbery."
"the price is too high."
"No one of you is doing this business."
…
Buying from the surging crowd of accusers, Lai Wu panicked and took a step back, but the idea was what he thought, and the price was set by him. In front of the boss Chen Haojie, he would die today even if he died, otherwise the consequence would be that he would not be able to. bearable.
Relying on the fact that he is the only one who has a car source, Lai Wu fights back at the car dealer with trembling: "If you can't afford it, don't buy it, and the labor and management are not asking you to ask for it."
One sentence choked everyone to death, and the car dealers really couldn't think of any words to respond to Lai Wu's lack of soul.
Because there are many car dealers like Zhao Xianlong who plan to buy and play by themselves. They do not consider profit, but purely for their feelings and dreams. In the end, they bow their heads to reality and do not want to miss this once-in-a-millennium opportunity.
After discovering that the reserve price could not be lowered, a tall and thin car dealer slowly raised his arm and shouted weakly, "250,000."
"Yu..." Someone finally participated in the auction. Lai Wu's heart burst into ecstasy, and his eyes instantly ignited a hot flame. The original disappointment, helplessness and worry were swept away, and after giving the boss Chen Haojie a smug look, Finally raised his head again and regained his flamboyant demeanor. He believed that with the first car dealer to participate in the auction, there would be a second, a third, a fourth...
Because the current auction is the Biscay Blue Volkswagen R36, which is a myth that is difficult to reproduce.
Chen Haojie was also very happy, and secretly gave Lai Wu a thumbs up, as if the sky in front of him was full of red Huaxia coins, rushing towards him like a heavy snow of goose feathers.
"Twenty-five thousand."
"Twenty-five thousand six."
…
Sure enough, no matter what the car dealers thought, it was as Lai Wu expected. After someone took the lead, they participated in the auction one by one. No matter how small the increase was, the auction price of UU Kanshu www.uukanshu.com finally stabilized. rising.
The price of the Volkswagen R36 has been shouted at 270,000. Standing in the crowd, Zhao Xianlong has not said a word, and has not shown any signs of wanting to bid.
Zhang Chen thought that he had been dismissed by the ridiculously high price, but he didn't know that Zhao Xianlong was now engaged in a fierce battle between heaven and man.
At this moment, Zhao Xianlong seemed to have a snow-white angel with wings in his mind, and a little devil with horns on his head and a dark body, arguing with swords drawn.
Little Angel: "Old Zhao, the price is too high to ask for it."
Little Devil: "This is a Volkswagen R36 in Biscay Blue!"
Little Angel: "Old Zhao, if you want to shoot it smoothly, don't even think about it if you don't have 350,000, the price is too high."
Little Devil: "This is a Volkswagen R36 in Biscay Blue!"
Little Angel: "Old Zhao, you have a small profit and you spend so much money to buy a car to go back, how can you explain to your wife and children?"
Little Devil: "This is a Volkswagen R36 in Biscay Blue!"
…
At the end of the argument, it was the little devil who stabbed the little angel to death, and the urge to take this Biscay Blue Volkswagen R36 into his arms prevailed.
Emotions prevailed over reason, Zhao Xianlong gritted his teeth and stomped his feet. When he shouted for the price of 300,000 yuan, he finally shouted to Lai Wu: "350,000 yuan, who dares to fight with labor and capital, labor and capital will fight with him."
The high price of 350,000, coupled with the threatening language, instantly silenced the dense crowd.
