Chapter 639: Pickup (3) begging for subscription
"Imported pickup trucks are suspended with plates, and they really live to learn. Discovering something new that he didn't know, Du Xiao smiled slightly, he thought it was too interesting, he recognized what Fang Yuan said, people are used as agricultural vehicles, and it is indeed necessary to hang on the board in order to have strong load-bearing capacity and be suitable for loading heavy objects.
There are pros and cons, the comfort of the plate suspension is very poor, especially when the rear wheel is seriously bounced when it is unloaded, and walking on the non-paved road can turn people to death.
If you use a five-link like BMW, the comfort is improved, but it is not practical, and it is not possible to drive on unpaved roads such as in the wilderness for a long time.
"This Ford F150 also has a plate suspension in the back and an independent double wishbone suspension in the front. Fang Yuan patted the black Ford F150 body next to him, and then pointed to the white ram on the far right, "Its front suspension is an independent double wishbone, and the rear suspension is an integral bridge non-independent suspension." ”
"Hmm. Du Xiao listened to Fang Yuan's introduction, while bowing his head and bending down from time to time to look at this Ford F150, he often plays performance cars and off-road vehicles, and he can't say that he is proficient in cars, at least he is not a novice.
Even if Fang Yuan didn't have more explanations, Du Xiao knew that the comfort of independent suspension was better than that of non-independent suspension, and the plate suspension of the truck was the worst.
The non-load-bearing body is the bottom of the truck, and this kind of pickup truck with girders is the same as its own Land Cruiser, even after ten or eight years, the body does not show traces of looseness, and it is not scattered at all.
"The ram's various pads and rubber sleeves are also better than those of the Ford F150 and Tantu, which can cooperate with the entire suspension system to absorb most of the vibrations from the tires and minimize the transmission to the cabin. Fang Yuan told everyone that in addition to the suspension, the quiet performance of the car is also an important indicator of comfort.
This is very understandable, everyone agrees, after all, no matter how advanced the vibration is, the mute performance is not good, people are driving in a high-noise environment for a long time, and they will be very irritable.
"I have a friend who bought a low-profile Fit, hey, I'll go, I get a headache from high-speed tire noise and wind noise. In short, Zhang Chen has a very big opinion on the sound insulation of the low-profile fit.
Dong Biao looked at Zhang Chen's disgust and was happy: "Honda's low-end models have poor sound insulation, and there are indeed a lot of noises and abnormal noises. ”
Fang Yuan got up, and everyone complained about the models with poor sound insulation that they knew or owned, and it was very lively for a while.
Looking at everyone's spitting and flying, Du Xiao asked Fang Yuan curiously: "How to solve the noise?"
"The noise of the car and the abnormal noise of the interior, the door and other places can not be confused, they are mainly engine noise, road noise, wind noise and tire noise, especially when running at high speed. Fang Yuan explained that if you want to isolate noise from entering the cockpit, you rely on the sealing performance and sound insulation materials of the entire cockpit.
Therefore, you can do the sound insulation of the whole car as Du Xiao said, clean up the sound insulation rubber strips, sound insulation gaskets, engine compartment sound insulation cotton, door panel sound insulation cotton, cockpit floor sound insulation cotton, trunk floor sound insulation cotton, fender sound insulation cotton, chassis sound insulation, as well as change silent tires, double windows have effects.
If it is a family car, not counting the mute tires, double-layer windows, and the sound insulation of the whole car is almost a few thousand yuan, and the effect of a thousand yuan is really average.
"A few thousand dollars is not a lot. Du Xiao is a businessman, he pondered a little, and said, "Since noise affects comfort, it is better to drive a certain distance on different roads when buying a car for a test drive, check the mute effect of the car, and also worry about the vibration effect, and save more money in the future to modify." ”
Fang Yuan nodded slightly but didn't say anything, he thought that the method Du Xiao said was indeed reasonable, and it was a reliable and good way, but for many people, it was unrealistic.
Fang Yuan felt that buying a car was a major event in life for ordinary people like him, and he needed to use a lot of savings.
Fortunately, Huaxia cars are much cheaper now, and they are no longer the era when a Santana landed 178,000 yuan.
Nowadays, the configuration of cars in the early 100,000s, and even 70,000 or 80,000 domestic cars is already very good, the fuel consumption is also low, the power is enough, and the space is large.
However, what is bought is not as good as what is sold, and each OEM is more ghostly and more slammed!
They give the customer these things, and then they start to reduce costs in other invisible places, and sound insulation is one of the ways in which OEMs save money.
Take the soundproof cotton of the car door as an example, you need to use butyl rubber shock absorber plate, soundproof cotton, and sound-absorbing cotton.
According to the most common price of the car decoration store, the cost of making four-door sound insulation is about 300, including 5 shock-absorbing plates, more than 20 sound-insulating cotton, and more than 10 sound-absorbing cotton. (This price is estimated, after all, recycled cotton, virgin cotton and other materials are different, and the consumption level is different in different places.) )
The cost of materials in the main engine factory is definitely not so high, as well as the saving of soundproof cotton, the saved storage, workers' wages, electricity costs, machine loss, transportation costs, etc., are all counted, according to the fifteen yuan estimate.
The main engine factory can save 15 yuan by saving the soundproof cotton of one door, what about the four doors, the soundproof cotton of the engine compartment of the whole car, and the soundproof cotton of other parts?......
Not to mention the data that a certain model reaches 40,000 or 50,000 units a month, according to the calculation of 10,000 vehicles, 120,000 vehicles a year, how much money can be saved?
In addition, some car owners do not care about the noise, and some noise cannot be tested without high speed, which makes the main engine factory exploit the loophole.
Therefore, for ordinary people, they can only make full use of their limited funds, and when buying a new car, they still have to look at fuel consumption, power and space, followed by configuration and noise, etc.
Fang Yuan thinks that Du Xiao has been out of reality as a big boss for too long, and he can't experience the confusion of ordinary people like himself, and there is no need for him to explain, continue to make a final summary, among the three cars, the comfort of the ram is the best, if Du Xiao has high requirements for comfort, you can choose the ram.
"Well, the lad was very professional and the comfort of the presentation was very much to my liking. Du Xiao praised Fang Yuan, "When I was young, I worked hard and fell ill, but now that my career is stable, I always feel that my energy is not as good as before." ”
Du Xiao said slowly, and there was a little more sourness and sadness in his voice: " An old friend of mine, he and I retired early when the family property was almost there, now play ball every day, fishing, live a chic and happy life, I heard that some time ago I took my wife and children to travel across the country together, I was also influenced by him, has entered a semi-retired state, the hobby of youth picked up again, playing cards, running, fishing, traveling, driving out with young people to open the sand, rushing to the slope, I feel that the effect is very good, at least the mentality is more than ten years younger. So a car with good comfort is more suitable for me to go out and play. ”
When Du Xiao sighed, Fang Yuan nodded from time to time to express his approval, but didn't say a word, just quietly being a listener.
After venting to a stranger, Du Xiao felt refreshed and very happy, patted Fang Yuan's shoulder, and smiled: "The young man is very good, don't do it in Zhenghong Car Dealership, come to our company, no matter how much salary you have in Zhenghong Group, I will give you double, oh no, with your ability, I will give you four times." ”
Is this going to dig yourself?
Fang Yuan couldn't smile bitterly, his commission of five or six hundred thousand yuan last month, plus the profit of 700,000 yuan from the auto repair factory, now whether it is his own future or the development of the auto repair factory, Du Xiao gave four times the salary, he was really unmoved.
Thinking so, he couldn't say that, Fang Yuan politely refused: "Thank you for your appreciation, I just signed a five-year contract with the company, and I can't resign." ”
Of course, Du Xiao, the big boss, heard that Fang Yuan was unwilling to leave, he chatted with Fang Yuan very hilariously, and preferred Fang Yuan's serious and professional attitude a little unwillingly, and then pointed to Wang Hu not far away, knocked on the side and said, "It's a pity, how much salary do your employees get a month?"
Fang Yuan looked back, Du Xiao was referring to Wang Hu, and said truthfully: "You said Brother Wang, he was in his early 200,000s last month. ”
"How much?" Du Xiao felt that his little liver was hit by an eight-hundred-pound hammer, and he almost screamed out loud.
Du Xiao is a big boss, and his subordinates are not without employees with an annual salary of more than one million, or even an annual salary of more than ten million.
However, Du Xiao really didn't expect that in such a chaotic market, an ordinary clerk and a young man selling second-hand cars could reach more than 200,000 a month?
Fang Yuan was lying, and as soon as the idea of shaking himself came out, he was denied by Du Xiao.
The time he had been in contact with Fang Yuan was less than an hour, and judging from his experience, Fang Yuan's character was still reliable.
Du Xiao was a little surprised, the salary of the staff is already so high, so what about Fang Yuan, who is the manager of the car dealership?
Du Xiao took a step back, up and down, carefully re-examined Fang Yuan, and pondered in his heart, the young man has strong business ability and is very stable in dealing with people, such an excellent young grassroots cadre, the annual salary is low, and he has already thrown his resignation letter in the face of the leader.
Du Xiao didn't dare to guess Fang Yuan's salary, and sighed vigorously that he rashly wooed Fang Yuan, it was too hasty, and finally smiled awkwardly: "Let's not talk about this topic, you can continue to introduce these three cars to me." ”
"Okay, you come with me. Fang Yuan, regardless of the others who were still discussing the earthquake and sound insulation, took Du Xiao to the front of the three cars and stood still.
The three cars are two black and one white, the body is tall and powerful, and the smallest Tantu body length has reached 5814 mm, which has beaten Du Xiao's 2015 Middle East Limited Edition Land Cruiser, not to mention the Ford F150 with a body length of 5907 mm.
Interestingly, the Tantu has the shortest length, the highest height, and the longest wheelbase, with a figure of 3701 mm that crushes the Ford F150 and the Ram.
"I just said that in our Huaxia, buying pickups, especially this kind of high-end pickups, does not have a rigid need for work and life, most of them are used for play, and they are considered big toys for rich people, so the appearance must be domineering, majestic, good-looking, and the appearance can be taken. ”
Fang Yuan said very implicitly, Du Xiao smiled, and added bluntly: "It's just pretending to be better and showing off, in terms of loading and pulling, why don't you buy a double-row cargo card, which is also four or five seats, and the body is longer, bigger and cheaper." ”
"Haha. As a salesperson, there are some things that Du Xiao said harmlessly, it was a joke, Fang Yuan couldn't be so straightforward, but his favorability towards Du Xiao rose a notch, "Personal aesthetics are different, not to mention appearance, just look at the body type, among the three cars, I think the size is longer, the lower Ford F150 has a slender body, which is more in line with my taste." ”
Du Xiao's gaze swept over the three cars, as Tong Fang Yuan said, the body of the Tantu seems a little heavy, the body of the Ford F150 is slender, and the ram is in between.
And Du Xiao's aesthetic is similar to Fang Yuan, and he also prefers the Ford F150.
After comparing the body size, Fang Yuan walked to the front of the leftmost Tantu, pointed to the competitive bar in front, and began to say the appearance: "The Ford F150 and the ram next to it are all plain cars, this Tantu has added a competitive bar, changed the stepped middle net, added a winch, and four off-road lights, which looks very domineering, but in fact, they are all illegal, and they are caught by the traffic police." ”
Du Xiao looked in the direction of Fang Yuan's finger, the wide grille occupied almost the entire front of the car, and the racing bars were thick and long and extended to both sides, even protecting the left and right tires, and the visual effect was very domineering.
"So what should I do? How can I change it so that it is not illegal?"
"It is actually possible to install front and rear bumpers, but not beyond the length of the body, not to cover the number plate, the license plate must be fixed firmly, and there are four nails on it. A winch can also be added, it must be hidden. Fang Yuan bent down and measured with his hands, indicating that the competitive bar on the road had exceeded a long distance.
Du Xiao looked down at the competitive bar, it was indeed a change in the original length, and he had to retreat.
"The grid can also be changed, and lamps cannot be installed. Fang Yuan pointed to the roof again, "There is no need to install a luggage rack for a pickup truck, if it is an SUV, the height of the luggage rack cannot exceed thirty centimeters." ”
"What if I think it's so good-looking, and I want to change it like this?" Du Xiao suddenly had a bold idea.
"Get a rescue permit. Fang Yuan smiled, "Participating in public welfare activities can be regarded as making some voluntary contributions, not to mention adding a winch, and even the size of the wheel can be changed." ”
"You kid is too hypocritical, you want to take advantage of the loopholes of the policy, and you are so righteous and awe-inspiring. Du Xiao scolded Fang Yuan with a smile, but he felt that Fang Yuan's brain was active, he had many ideas, and the more he looked at it, the more he liked it, and it was okay to participate in the rescue activities by himself, it was a good thing to accumulate virtue and do good, and he could participate in it from time to time.
"Haha. Fang Yuan was embarrassed by Du Xiao's ridicule, and then said, "Tantu removed the competitive bar, winch, and replaced it with the original middle net, the appearance is the most simple among the three cars, in my personal opinion, it is still the Ford F150 with the highest appearance, not to mention the performance version of the Raptor with a kit." ”
Du Xiao noticed the words Fang Yuan used to speak, describing the appearance of Tantu as 'simple'.
"The young man is very objective and fair. Du Xiao nodded, understanding that as Fang Yuan said just now, everyone's aesthetics are different, you can't ask others for your own opinions, they are immortals and I are poisonous, and the tastes are different, in Huaxia, some women with big mouths, in the eyes of foreigners, they are peerless beauties.
Du Xiao walked back and forth on the front of the three cars, and stopped from time to time to look at the side, and finally said to Fang Yuan: "If you only look at the original factory, I also think that the Ford F150 is the most domineering." ”
