MTL - My Years As a Car Dealer-Chapter 223 : Meter adjustment detection
Chapter 0223: Meter Adjustment Detection
Everyone turned around in unison, their eyes focused on Zhao Xianlong, and they were all dumbfounded when they saw his flushed old face that was flushed with excitement.
300,000 yuan, just to buy an old car that is more than ten years old?
Some car dealers can understand Zhao Xianlong's mood at this time. After all, the Volkswagen R36 in Biscay Blue is also the goddess in their hearts.
Some car dealers feel incredible. In their eyes, if they want looks and passion, 350,000 can already buy a god-like early Mercedes-Benz A45. He will serve tea and water and serve himself like a grandfather, which is like buying a car from Lai Wu, like a grandson.
Someone suddenly raised the price to 300,000?
In front of the boss, Chen Haojie, how could Shabi offer such a high price?
Long face, too long face.
Lai Wu was overjoyed, his eyes flashed blue in surprise, and he could not wait to catch Fatty Zhao and smack him all over his body, starting from the upper of the shoe.
Facts have proved the great success of his sales policy. Lai Wuyang is proud of his hands on his waist, as if he is now a business wizard like Bill Gates and Ma Yun.
"Okay, good, good." A lot of Huaxia coins poured into his pockets like water, and the way to make money like grabbing money is so cool, Chen Haojie excitedly said three 'OK' ' Word, reward Lai Wu on the spot, and then increase his sales commission by one percentage point.
Zhao Xianlong spent 350,000 to buy a Volkswagen R36, which was beyond Zhang Chen's expectations. He shook his head slightly, believing that it was a car that had been adjusted, had a fault, and needed repairs and maintenance, and it was not worth the cost. money.
Zhang Chen did a little calculation, and estimated that Zhao Xianlong spent at least 70,000 or 80,000 Huaxia coins.
However, Zhang Chen watched Zhao Xianlong dance and pay the money, and looked at his cheerful back. Zhang Chen didn't plan to tell the fault of this Volkswagen R36 and the fact that the watch was adjusted.
The ongoing auction has been very competitive and soon another Chevrolet Malibu XL, a Ford Edge, a Honda CRV, a BMW X3, a Volkswagen Tiguan…
The auction scene was hilarious. As Lai Wu's great savior, Zhao Xianlong, who had paid for the car, was even sent back by Lai Wu himself.
The two walked beside Wang Keqiang and Zhang Chen, and Lai Wu actually saw the two of them standing on the high steps.
At that time, Lai Wu didn't have the skill and confidence to despise Zhang Chen and Wang Keqiang. Now it's different. The great success of the auction and the strong praise from the boss Chen Haojie gave Lai Wu the confidence to be arrogant.
I saw Lai Wu glanced at Wang Keqiang and Zhang Chen invincibly, snorted heavily, and walked away without looking back with his head held high.
It is very impolite not to say hello when you see your old boss, and you are still so arrogant, who do you snort heavily to?
How can you look down on people?
Wang Ke shivered violently, and stared at Lai Wuyuan's back with gnashing teeth, his eyes spitting out fire.
The car dealers nearby were even more upset with Wang Keqiang. They knew how highly Wang Keqiang used to value Wu and defend him everywhere, but now this white-eyed wolf has hardened wings and even looks down on the old leader.
The soul is light, the soul is too light, so they spit heavily towards Lai Wu's back.
"Zhang Chen, Lao Zhao finished buying the car, let's go too, Lai Wu's grandson is wandering around in front of me, it's too bad!" Wang Keqiang had no choice but to ignore Lai Wu and wanted to go back to the Four Seas Motor Shop to have a look. .
Looking at Wang Keqiang's depressed expression of pain, of course Zhang Chen knew that he wanted to beat Lai Wu, but he couldn't.
Zhang Chen smiled slightly and ignored Wang Keqiang. Instead, he said to Zhao Xianlong, "Old Zhao, spend so much money, why don't you have someone check the car?"
After speaking, Zhang Chen gave Wang Keqiang a wink.
Wang Keqiang was stunned for a while at first, but he has been with Zhang Chen for so long, he understands his temperament, and understands that this kid must be trying to stand up for himself, so he replied with a look that you are too bad.
Wang Keqiang didn't mention the matter of the Four Seas Motor Company immediately, he hugged Zhao Xianlong's shoulder affectionately, and said, "Let's look at the car with Zhao's hands, and you can rest assured when you go back."
"Yeah." Zhao Xianlong nodded in agreement. He asked Wang Keqiang to follow Zhang Chen, just to ask him about the problems of the Volkswagen R36. Now the two strongly recommend doing a second-hand car appraisal. Zhao Xianlong thinks it is necessary, and Zhenghong is second-hand. The cost of the car inspection center is super cheap and completely affordable.
However, Zhao Xianlong had a concern. He knew that Zhao Yishou didn't go to work today. With Zhao Yishou's withdrawn and arrogant personality, he was afraid that he would not be able to invite his master.
"Hahaha, look for him." Wang Keqiang pointed at Zhang Chen, and he was just as happy as a fool, but he looked at Zhao Xianlong more like a fool, "Zhang Chen is the boss of Zhenghong Used Car Testing Center, Zhao doesn't give anyone face. , and will not lose face to Zhang Chen."
"Look at my head, I'm confused." Zhao Xianlong immediately begged Zhang Chen to call Zhao Yishou as soon as possible.
The boss called, and within five minutes, the roar of the engine had already sounded outside the gate of the second-hand car market in Haibin City.
Everyone looked out in unison, and saw a black behemoth rushing in, without any intention of slowing down, and flew straight towards the crowd.
"Fuck, who drove the Raptor F150? Are you dying?"
The Ford Raptor F150 did not continue to move forward, but stopped steadily. After the door opened, Zhao Yishou, Zhang Climb, Liu Haiyang and Jiang Fangyan jumped from it.
Seeing the car driven by Jiang Fangyan, the car dealer who knew her dared to be angry and did not dare to say anything, so he had to hold his anger in his heart.
Zhao Yi strode towards Zhang Chen, and waved hello to him from a distance, his voice seemed to be trembling: "Mr. Zhang, where is the Volkswagen R36?"
"there."
The three masters and apprentices of Zhao Yishou were particularly excited. After simply saying hello to Zhang Chen and Wang Keqiang, they ran over to start work.
Jiang Fangyan jumped up and down, walking like a rabbit, looking at the position pointed by Zhang Chen from a distance, suddenly pouted and said, "This is the Volkswagen R36, I don't see anything special?"
The Volkswagen R36 is really not amazing. People who like it will love everything about it, and people who don't like it will find it bland.
Zhang Chen knew that there was no way to reason with the little eighth, so he simply ignored her and just quietly waited for Zhao Yishou's test results.
Detecting this Volkswagen R36, unexpectedly, the three masters and apprentices of Zhao Yishou did not take any equipment, nor did they open the door. After learning that the current mileage is 70,000 kilometers, they just kept walking around the car, and they kept walking around the car. Every now and then I stop and bend over to check something.
The car dealers onlookers were very curious. Even Chen Haojie and Lai Wu also stood in the crowd and stared at Zhao Yishou. They were depressed and wanted to check whether the meter was adjusted or not sit in the car to check the odometer. They really have never seen such a strange detection method.
What surprised everyone even more was that Zhao's first-hand detection was very fast, and he circled around the Volkswagen R36. He made it clear that the car was not only adjusted, but it was estimated that the adjustment was very frustrating. The preliminary judgment was adjusted by nearly half. That is to say, the actual mileage is between 120,000 and 150,000.
Adjusted the table? A lot of tuning?
Everyone knows that the normal price of this Volkswagen R36 is estimated to be around 270,000 to 80,000 yuan. Zhao Xianlong, as a fan of German fans and crock pots, has paid far more than the normal price for his true love and feelings, and he has already lost money.
Now that the fact that the watch has been adjusted has been revealed, the price of this Volkswagen R36 will definitely shrink significantly, and it may not be able to sell for 250,000.
In other words, Zhao Xianlong hadn't driven a kilometer yet, and he had not filed for a transfer. In just a few minutes, he lost 100,000 yuan.
Lai Wu and Chen Haojie, as sellers, were despised by their peers for their usual character. Now they have made a fool of adjusting the watch. Maybe they have concealed other unknown faults. If there is still a stone hammer, then even twenty-five Can't even sell it.
This news and their own speculations were as shocking as a bow. The shocked crowd was stunned for a moment. Everyone's body remained motionless, and their eyes focused on the Volkswagen R36 parked in the middle of the crowd. All of a sudden, they were all stunned. His eyes were wide and round, showing an incredible expression.
Zhao Xianlong's situation was even more unbearable. He shivered with fright all of a sudden. His eyes gradually grew from oval shape to big, and finally they were round. He was so amazed that he couldn't believe his ears. I can't believe that I lost everything in the blink of an eye. How can I explain it to my wife when I get home?
When everyone came to their senses and turned their attention to the culprits, Lai Wu and Chen Haojie, the faces of the car dealers onlookers were full of contempt, disgust and hatred.
Countless car dealers walked away from Lai Wu and Chen Haojie with disgust, and at the same time cursed secretly, how immoral they are, they are really unscrupulous for money, and they deceived their peers. of.
However, Zhang Chen found that Lai Wu and Chen Haojie were also very surprised, as if it was the first time he knew the news.
They acted innocently, their old faces convulsed like white paper in the wind, and they looked shocked.
what happened?
Could it be that Lai Wu and Chen Haojie were exposed to their tricks and acted in front of everyone?
If this is the case, Zhang Chen really admires these two goods, whether it is expressions or actions, they are too realistic.
Clothes, uppercase clothing words!
Lai Wu first recovered from the shock, he stretched out his hands and ran to the car dealers who wanted to pull away in panic: "Listen to me, things are not what you think, I haven't adjusted my watch. , I didn't want to pit Zhao Xianlong."
Lai Wu ran around and shouted like a headless fly, anxiously wanting everyone to listen to his explanation.
But everyone seemed to avoid the plague **** and refused to stop.
Because Lai Wuping's popularity is not very good, no one dares to believe him now.
Different from Lai Wushi's personality, Zhao Yishou has a cold, arrogant and withdrawn temper, and his temper is not very big. He also has no friends in the second-hand car market in the seaside city.
However, they have good skills, and they are good at doing things for others. They have never cheated car dealers and ordinary customers, and they have left 58 streets in reputation.
Now that such a thing has happened, everyone doesn't have to think about it, just think with their toes and understand that they should stand on Zhao's side.
"Crack." Chen Haojie lost his mind as if he was hit by a heavy hammer. He almost spit out a mouthful of old blood. After reaching out and giving Lai Wu a big mouth, his breath still fluctuated violently.
No one listened to his explanation, and was slapped by the boss again. Lai Wu covered his cheeks, and suddenly felt his heart tighten. He was careful that his liver was thumping wildly, as if it would rush out of his throat at any time.
At this moment, Zhao Xianlong, who had just regained his senses, rushed in front of Lai Wu, raised his slap high, and slapped the other side of the old face fiercely.
Zhao Xianlong has a big shoulder and a round waist, and has more strength than Chen Haojie.
Lai Wu was directly knocked to the ground by the head of the fan. Not only did his cheeks swell up, but bright red blood slowly flowed out from the corners of his mouth and nose.
"Mr. Chen, brothers, oh no, uncles, listen to me!" Of course Lai Wu understood what punishment would await him if he confirmed the results of the schedule adjustment, but he also felt very aggrieved , he didn't know why he was transferred.
Lai Wu's pupils shrank involuntarily, he suddenly remembered something, he didn't care to wipe the blood, got up and shouted at everyone: "Zhao Yishou just circled around the Volkswagen R36, this is only theoretical Presumably, unless I come up with real evidence, I will not accept it, I will not accept it.”
"Don't accept? Why don't you accept?" Facing Lai Wu's stubborn final resistance, Zhang Chen sneered and stood up slowly, staring at Lai Wu's frightened old face because of fear and nervousness, and asked him, "You If you can't do it, it doesn't mean that others are as stupid as you."
"I..." Facing the aggressive Zhang Chen, Lai Wu was staggered back several steps by his aura before trying his best to stabilize his body and not fall backwards, but he just bit the last straw. He didn't change his mind, "If there is no real evidence, I just refuse to accept it."
"Okay, labor and capital will convince you." Zhao Yishou couldn't stand Lai Wu's sloppy appearance, and he dared to question his own identification results, so he revealed his own testing method on the spot for the first time to prove himself. The test results are correct.
The identification of used car conditions generally includes the inspection of the three major parts of the engine, gearbox and chassis, the inspection of blisters and fires in major accidents, the inspection of details such as the paint surface of the interior exterior, the inspection of the conventional wearing parts of the cabin chassis, and finally the road test.
Zhenghong Used Car Testing Center has a very strict process for identification. Where to test first, there is an order in which to test. Each test master must work according to strict steps, and is not allowed to change it without permission.
Generally, after detecting the appearance cover, from front to back, or from outside to inside, these two sequences.
The situation of testing the Volkswagen R36 today is very special. It is only a matter of identifying the authenticity of the mileage alone, so it is not so troublesome.
Used car meter adjustment detection, different from meter adjustment, they are equivalent to the front and back of a thing.
It only takes ten minutes to adjust the meter and costs fifty to one hundred dollars. (When I think about it, I will give readers a detailed introduction to the specific process of adjusting the meter.)
The second-hand car meter adjustment detection is both simple and relatively difficult.
To put it simply, there are many professional equipments that can find out whether the meter has been adjusted.
It's just that the price is high, and I am not a professional in this industry. No one will pay a high price to buy equipment.
The difficulty is that in the absence of professional equipment, it is necessary to observe carefully and have rich testing experience in order to make a correct judgment.
In the absence of professional testing equipment on hand, Zhao used the rapid detection method.
Zhao Yishou specially called Zhang Chen to his side, as if he was explaining it to Zhang Chen.
His method is to first determine the production date of the car, and judge the authenticity of the mileage from the production date.
In order to prevent the owner from falsifying the date, the glass and tires can be judged to judge the production date.
Looking at the glass is to look for the VIN code on the front windshield. Unless the original glass has been replaced in an accident, there must be a VIN code in the lower left corner of the front windshield.
The VIN code consists of 17 characters, which contains information such as country, manufacturer, and age.
The last row of symbols is a number, which represents the production date, such as "...1", 1 represents the year, which means that the car was produced in 2001.
Not only does the front windshield have a VIN code on it, which can provide information on the production date, but other glass in the whole car also has English and numbers, and the production date and manufacturer can also be seen.
By comparing and checking whether the factory date of the whole vehicle glass is the same, you can roughly know whether the glass has been replaced, which glass has been replaced, and whether there has been an accident.
And this method is the most accurate and important. After all, the tires can be replaced, the engine number can be smeared and modified, and as long as the glass has no cracks, no one thinks of replacing it when it is fake, the cost is too high, and the process is very cumbersome.
The glass of the Volkswagen R36 is intact and all the normal original glass. It is known from the above that the production date is all 2009, which means that this Volkswagen R36 was produced in 2009 from the side.
Knowing the exact production date, Zhao's master and apprentice carefully checked the four tires.
Like the glass, the tires also have numbers and manufacturer information on them, and the four digits behind represent the date of manufacture of the tire.
And the production date of the original tires should be earlier than the production date of the car.
The next thing to do is to use the date of manufacture of the tires to correspond to the date of manufacture of the car to determine whether the tire has been replaced.
For example, the production date of this Volkswagen R36 was in 2009. It was only ten years old and had only 70,000 miles.
The tires have all been replaced. The production date of the tires is all in 2015. The current state is even more bald and bald, indicating that the tires are relatively useless. The mileage of 70,000 kilometers is fooling the ghost?
The actual mileage is almost doubled.
Therefore, Zhao Yishou judged based on experience that this Volkswagen R36 is a meter-tuned car, and it has been tuned a lot.
The methods introduced by Zhao Yishou are all based on experience, which is a bit mysterious. Many young car dealers with little testing experience are confused and do not understand what is going on.
Only those older car dealers showed a knowing smile, proving that they not only understood but also mastered this little trick.
"Hahaha, in the end, you're just guessing." In fact, Lai Wu didn't fully understand what Zhao Yishou said, but he just caught the result of Zhao Yishou's guessing, and there was no real evidence to kill him, and he would not admit it. It was a meter-tuned car, and he clamored to ask, "It's just one tire, what can prove the problem? What if the tire was punctured before and changed?"
"Are you stupid? Your car has one tire, and all four tires are replaced?"
Looking at Zhao Yishou's caring eyes for the mentally retarded, all the onlookers burst into laughter, because Zhao Yishou just said that the production date of the four tires of this Volkswagen R36 is the same as that of the manufacturer, and there is no previous problem of puncturing and changing tires. .
"I don't care, the previous car owner's family was a mine, and one tire was replaced by four." Lai Wusa was rude and fooling around. You don't have real evidence.
"Fuck you, playing with labor and capital? Labor and capital can't kill you." Zhao Yishou's petty temper also came up, he was rude by Lai Wuqi, and commanded his two apprentices sharply, "You two catch it. He, labor and capital can't kill him today, and his surname is Lai."
Zhang Pandeng and Liu Haiyang had long disliked Lai Wu, but now the master gave an order, and immediately strode towards Lai Wu with his sleeves.
Looking at the vicious appearance of the two, Lai Wu was frightened. He trembled and took two steps back, trying to hide behind the boss Chen Haojie.
But in the current scene, everyone is not blind. Knowing that Zhao's first-hand judgment is correct, Lai Wu only managed to win the slightest chance by cheating.
Chen Haojie also saw from Zhao Yishou's inference that it was indeed a watch adjustment. How could he dare to mess with Lai Wu now, let alone protect him, so he dodged and ran away.
The boss didn't cover himself and ran away alone. The desperate Lai Wu was stunned for a while, and then he just lay on the ground again, wailing and screaming: "The people from the Zhenghong Used Car Inspection Center killed people, and Zhang Chen killed... "
You rascal, you bit him before you even touched him? A wild dog?
Zhang Pandeng and Liu Haiyang looked at Lai Wu who was rolling on the ground, but instead of grabbing him, they just curled their lips in disgust, their eyes full of hatred and helplessness.
"Old Zhao's judgment is a mountain of ironclad evidence." Zhao Xianlong heard Zhao's words early and understood that he was being deceived.
Zhao Xianlong wanted to take revenge. At this time, Lai Wu was a bad person and the consequences of being too arrogant appeared.
None of the thousands of car dealers who were watching stood up to speak for him. Those car dealers, regardless of whether they understood Zhao Yishou's introduction, all thought it was right to beat Lai Wu.
"I'm here, I'm here, I've wanted to beat him for a long time." Jiang Fangyan also saw that Lai Wu's eyes were particularly unpleasant. She waved her snow-white fist and shouted sharply at Lai Wu, "I'll slap his old face papa. ring."
"Baby, stop." Zhang Chen pulled Jiang Fangyan, who was eager to try, and stood in front of Lai Wu under the suspicious eyes of everyone, "Don't you want evidence? I have it."
Jiang Fangyan stretched out her feet to kick Lai Wu, but she was pulled out of her reach by Zhang Chen. Her face flushed in a hurry, and she asked Zhang Chen in confusion, "What evidence should I tell him? Just beat him, no reason."
"Hmph, our cosmopolitan car dealership has always been reasonable and moral to convince people, and we never do anything that is unreasonable to bully the weak." Zhang Chen arrogantly looked down at Lai Wu, and the more he looked at his old face, the more bored he felt, and he simply let go of Jiang Fangyan who was holding on to him. , pointed at Lai Wu's nose, "Hit him."
"You're so bad, you stole my dad's lines." Jiang Fangyan stared at Zhang Chen cheerfully, and liked his appearance of being sane but actually full of bad water.
"I'm against it." Lai Wugang, who was lying on the ground, thought he could escape a beating at first, but he never thought that Zhang Chen would say one thing, and another behind his back, "You don't mean convincing people with virtue. , won't you beat me?"
"I don't think you are pleasing to the eye." Zhang Chen glanced at Lai Wu, "Beat first, and then I'll show you the facts and reason."
"Ah?" Lai Wu screamed in surprise, and wanted to protest again, but a delicate and exquisite sole had already caught his eye.
Lai Wu was kicked in the face by Jiang Fangyan, and he wanted to stand up to resist, but who is Jiang Fangyan, she is Jiang Dehao's jewel, the darling, who dares to touch her with a finger, the number one cruel man in the seaside city Jiang Dehao can Skinned him on the trailer door.
Lai Wu's current situation is really miserable. He didn't dare to fight back just after being beaten. He was kicked by Jiang Fangyan and rolled on the ground, making a series of screams.
Jiang Fangyan is a girl, in fact, she doesn't have much strength, and she doesn't have a sense of accomplishment when she kicks a guy who doesn't dare to fight back.
At this time, Zhang Chen has already begun to introduce the evidence of finding the Volkswagen R36 meter.
In fact, this evidence was simply mentioned by Zhao Yishou just now that ~www.novelbuddy.com~ is to be detected with professional equipment.
Because the vast majority of meter adjustments will leave traces, for example, Volkswagen models have an additional gearbox mileage record, even if professional equipment is used, the real record in the gearbox cannot be adjusted, just go to the Volkswagen 4S shop to check. Based on the actual situation, you can know who is telling the truth and who is telling lies against their conscience.
Hearing Zhang Chen's idea to check the mileage record of the gearbox, Lai Wu, who was lying on the ground and screaming, went crazy, and regardless of the pain in his body, he raised his upper body and shouted hysterically at Zhang Chen: "Volkswagen 4S The store isn't opened by your family, so you just need to check the records when you say it?"
"Hehe. The Volkswagen 4S store in the seaside city is indeed not opened by my family." Zhang Chen's smile was very bright, as if he didn't care about this issue at all, "Even if I am an employee of the Sihai Group, the store manager of others may not dump me. , but..."
Zhang Chen pulled Jiang Fangyan, who was beside him, in front of Lai Wu, and continued with a smile: "But, with the eight wives here, who would dare not to conduct a labor investigation?"
"I hate it, and I'm still called a bum." Jiang Fangyan gently beat Zhang Chen with her small pink fist a few times, but when she turned to face Lai Wushi, a monstrous aura shot up into the sky and pulled out Phone calls? "Hey, Su Yiyang? I order you to have the store manager of the Volkswagen 4S store come to the second-hand car market in Haibin City to find me within five minutes with the equipment to detect the mileage of the Volkswagen R36 gearbox."
After finishing speaking, Jiang Fangyan didn't care whether Su Yiyang heard it clearly or not, she hung up the phone and looked up at Zhang Chen with a small face, a silly and cute look begging for praise.
