Chapter 248: The Art of Bargaining
After chatting about the past casually, Gu Nian took us out, talking about cars, Gu Nian didn't know much, that is, an ordinary person, but someone in the Gu family was rich, and it was still easy to do something in Yangcheng.
"The first pot of gold that the Gu family earned was the upside-down car, and that was in the 80s..."
When we were on the road, Gu Nian also told us about the history of the Gu family, which didn't seem to be bright, but Gu Nian didn't care, because there were really few people who could make money in that era who were not legalistic, and what they wanted at that time was to be bold and bold.
In the eighties, Yangcheng was still very poor, and the Gu family was also a small family without any fame, at most, the brothers and sisters of Gu Nian's grandfather's generation united a little.
So the later story is more old-fashioned, Gu Nian's grandparents raised money with the family, and then joined the huge coastal smuggling army, dumped a few cars that were still absolute luxury at that time, and earned the first pot of gold.
In the 80s, smuggling was rampant in the coastal areas, because the sea was so big that a small fishing boat could do all the procedures.
Mrs. Gu did this kind of thing for two years, completed the initial capital accumulation, and then washed her hands and went to regular business, and slowly developed to the present.
Gu Nian took us to a fourth son shop, a phone call, the boss came out to receive him in person, this boss is not an outsider, he is a relative of Gu Nian, according to the generation, Gu Nian has to call him uncle, but he is not a few years older than Gu Nian.
The Gu family is not only the old lady Gu, a group of more than a dozen people, but the rest of the Gu family has at least one or two hundred people in each room, not to mention those who are more sparsely related by blood.
Mrs. Gu was the first start-up capital earned by the clansmen's frugality, so the return on the clansmen was also very high, those who were ambitious invested in them to start their own businesses, and those who were not ambitious were arranged to work in various places, and those who were really not able to do some idle things in the Gu family's group.
It is by relying on these people that Mrs. Gu's family can be called the head snake in Yangcheng, because relying on these people, the Gu family has been laid out in many places, taking cars as an example, this line is extremely profitable, but in Yangcheng's automobile market, the Gu family accounts for at least thirty percent, of course, this thirty percent is the entire Gu family, not Gu Nian's small family.
"Mr. Li, since you were brought by Xiao Nian, I'll give you a professional advice, BMW 5 Series ·····"
The man listened to what Gu Nian said, and flickered at us for a while, saying that he was introducing a cost-effective BMW car, high-end atmosphere and high-grade, the key is to have stock, pay a deposit, and come to pick up the car after three days.
The professional names in his mouth made me stunned, and I must know all of them when I took them apart, but when they were combined, then I didn't know anything, and asked the price, and he said what to send the interior, send maintenance, and insurance or something.
"Da Liangzi, you dare to fool the people I brought"
Gu Nian listened to her uncle running the train with his mouth full of mouth, and suddenly became angry.
"Oh yes, Xiao Nian, where did I fool people, really"
"It's all said, Xuanji's budget is 500,000, do you dare to sell the BMW 5 Series for 500,000?"
"Ahem, Xiao Nian, Mr. Li is young and promising, I think it doesn't matter if it's a little more, the main thing is that the momentum is not, what's the point of driving a car, or I'll introduce Land Rover."
"Ahem, Great Heavenly Master, otherwise it's just the five systems just now, in fact, we're just a scooter, it doesn't matter, right?"
"Do you have any money?"
"Aren't you all there?"
"Five departments are five series, but I'll give you a chance, I'll give sixty-five, and you can solve the excess part"
I'm nunu, let Kou Jing deal with this boss and fool me, that's a price.
Kou Jing rubbed his hands, dealing with such a boss, it was not a matter of getting caught, and the boss over there was disdainful, how many years has he been in the mall, what kind of difficult guests have not been seen, just because you are a bad old man, you can still cut the price, dream about you.
If Kou Jing wants to use his tricks, then there must be a separate space, I motioned for Gu Nian to go with me to the bar for a cup of coffee, and the boss also cheered up to deal with Kou Jing's bargaining.
"Xuanji, although my uncle is full of running trains, he didn't want to cheat you, he just wants to sell a more expensive car, you have to be merciful."
Gu Nian knew Kou Jing, this great god was simple, and she didn't want her family to suffer.
"Miss Gu, rest assured, we are not people who take advantage of it, it is all normal business actions"
"yes, I don't really believe that one"
"Haha, really, don't lie to you, Miss Gu has a reliable driving school to introduce one, I want to get a driver's license"
"Well, you don't have a driver's license to buy a car?"
"Buy it first and let Kou Jing play with it, it shouldn't be difficult to get a driver's license."
"It's not difficult, three months is enough"
"Ahem, three months, can you shorten the time?"
"It's not much, three months is already very fast, now it's not as good as before, it's strict, you still have to have regulations on your training time or something"
"Okay, three months is three months"
"If you want to go, I recommend a driving school for you, which is also opened by my Gu family, don't cheat you"
"Miss Gu, has your Gu family infiltrated all walks of life in Yangcheng, there are people from your Gu family in every industry?"
I couldn't help but ask, are the Gu family so awesome, you can find your own people anything.
"Xuanji, you've known me for two years, don't you have a clear idea of the Gu family?"
"No, what's wrong"
"Okay, let me popularize the concept of a small city family with you, in a small city, a company or a family wants to develop, it is absolutely indispensable to have a large number of family members, that is, the fact that there are many people, because only when there are more people, you have more relatives and friends.
Take my Gu family as an example, the children of my grandparents are in their early twenties, but the entire Gu family, I mean, have a certain blood relationship with my grandparents, there are almost 200 people.
At that time, my grandparents led the whole family to develop, which also caused their next generation, that is, my parents' generation, to be basically higher than ordinary people, and the benefits brought by this improvement in living standards are unimaginable, such as their classmates and colleagues, it will be better in my generation.
So in the past few decades, there are people we know in all aspects of Yangcheng, either the people of the Gu family are running, or the uncles and brothers we know are running, of course, this is also a small city like Yangcheng can do it, big cities are not good, there are too many hidden dragons and crouching tigers"
"That means Yangcheng's words, similar to your Gu family's biggest."
"I can't say that, the ups and downs, there are a lot of defeated families, many families lack vision, and all the clansmen's careers are concentrated in one industry, so the rise is fast, and the decline is also fast, for example, some families opened factories to do service trade more than ten years ago, and online shopping rose, they failed to transform, and they all failed.
At present, there are three families like the Gu family in Yangcheng, all of which are huge families that have been standing for decades, and the family members are involved in all aspects, even if one of the houses falls, it can rise again with the support of the rest of the relatives."
"The three of you are basically married."
I suddenly asked, how did this stuff feel a little bit like something out of a novel.
"Yes, the three families basically have marriages, we can't fight to the death in a city like in the novel, basically they are all entangled interests, because there are too many smart people in this world, if we can't maintain our advantage, we will only be replaced"
"Teachable, isn't this the case in most small cities?"
"Almost, the more backward the economy, the more so, as long as the next generation is not contaminated with gambling, these vices are rare, after all, the family background is here, why are you interested in these, and you also want to get married and have children in Yangcheng?"
"No, I'm just curious to ask, when listening to the story, I'm different from you, I may have to take the path of Kou Jing"
I shook my head, I don't have this kind of thought, the reason why I want to know this is maybe just to listen to the story, maybe it's to prepare for the future, because the second senior brother seems to have this kind of thought.
"Xuanxuan is also going to do an internship next semester, you don't want to marry her after she graduates?"
"Maybe this one"
"Is your relationship in crisis?"
"It's not, I don't know how to say it, maybe it's a peaceful conversation after passion, hey, I can't do anything about it"
"Actually, it's a question of love or not, I believe that the material foundation is not your hindrance, and the rest is something else."
"Don't talk about this, don't talk about this, your heart is empty"
I quickly shook my head, I really can't deal with emotional problems, it's too difficult for me.
Just when I was chatting with Gu Nian for a while, Kou Jingmei came over and made a gesture with me, with his status, he personally took care of a small boss, isn't that a matter of being caught, killing chickens with a knife.
Gu Nian's uncle also came over, looking at Kou Jing's eyes changed, full of admirer's eyes, and he shouted one by one Mr. Kou.
"How"
"BMW five series, new, top, maintenance, cushion, anyway, all that can be sent, insurance on the card all-inclusive, others get down more than 700,000, I got 600,000 here, this is still I refused a lot of things, or it will be given away in vain"
"The Great Prophet is powerful, the Great Prophet is mighty"
I gave Kou Jing a thumbs up, I knew that you were amazing, I didn't expect you to be so powerful, Gu Nian on the side was also shocked, what kind of magic did Kou Jing use, her uncle had to lose money on this order, and looking at her uncle's appearance, she was still willing to lose and was happy.
