Chapter 4 The benefits of door-to-door delivery
Joshua looked at Chen Geng in surprise, and then turned his head to look at Bieber's Buick that had already driven out of the yard, and his jaw couldn't close: "Shit! The company is really yours?"
A few days ago, Fernandez was just like himself, a wage earner who worked for others, and even a wage earner who was infinitely close to being fired by his boss, but in the blink of an eye, he became his own boss?
Joshua felt that his outlook on life had been completely turned upside down.
"That's right, so...... Mr. Joshua, please remember one thing, from now on, I am your boss," Chen Geng poked Joshua's chest twice with a smile, and finally got the steps he wanted, Chen Geng's mood was very good: "If you don't want to look for a job tomorrow, be polite to the boss who pays you a salary." β

You can doubt the IQ of the black buddy, but you must not doubt the talent of the black buddy in hip-hop and sports, Joshua smiled and gave Chen Geng an American-style military salute: "Sir, as long as you can pay me on time, I guarantee that any instructions you give can be completed 100% without any discount." β
"Very well, then you go and call the big guys, we have a meeting, and give you another word, I have already paid the rent, so you don't have to worry about the landlord will kick you out tomorrow." β
Joshua trotted out, and outside was five anxious colleagues: everyone didn't have to go out to find work, and that was good news.
Since the boss has the money to pay the rent, then his salary must not be a problem, as for where Fernandez's money comes from, he doesn't care, even if it is robbed from the bank or fished out of the sewer, as long as he can pay his salary on time.
Thinking of the rent of 3,000 US dollars for half a year, Chen Geng couldn't help but sigh: Rub, after the rent, water, electricity and property fees are paid, more than half of the money in Lao Tzu's hand has gone!
27,000 US dollars, only 13,000 US dollars left in the blink of an eye, Chen Geng couldn't help but sigh in his heart: This money is really special M without spending it!

"This car is fine, it's just too dirty, clean it well, clean it for me inside and out, the engine compartment also needs to be cleaned, and some screws are loose, just tighten all the screws......"
"The car has a slight burn of oil, I'll take a look...... Well, as expected, the spark plug should be replaced, looking at the color of the spark plug electrode here, it means that the sealing of the cylinder wall is a little worse, and the piston ring should also be replaced......"
"What's going on with the suspension of this car? Does the owner use it to go to high-intensity off-road or does it fly downhill? This lateral stabilizer bar is twisted, tsk ......."
............
Watching Chen Geng constantly point out the problems of these consignment vehicles in the company, even a small fault can't escape his eyes, and no matter how deep the hidden fault can be found out by him in just more than 20 minutes of test drive, Joshua admires Chen Geng's ability and ability: Amazing! If Lao Tzu has this ability, he can get at least 2,300 US dollars a month!
In the 70s, the second-hand car industry in the United States did not have the habit of helping customers diagnose faults, and the second-hand car bought was a car with stable performance and reliable quality, or a "sick" car with frequent failures and dark diseases, all by their own vision and luck (the second-hand car market in the United States was only formalized in the mid-to-late 80s), second-hand car sellers are selling cars, not responsible for the diagnosis of vehicle failures, and there is no ability to do so, you go to a repairer if there is a problem with the car.
But now, no matter what the problems with the car are all under the eyes of the boss, there is nothing to hide, just because the car sold by the company is a good car without a little fault, the price should be at least 10% higher than other second-hand car dealers, as for why the boss didn't show this ability before, Joshua naturally thinks this is normal: if the boss has shown this hand before, how can he buy this company from Bieber's hands?
"Who owns this car? The engine foot should have been replaced, and I don't know where the car is wrong after shaking into this virtue?" Looking at the last car, Chen Geng suddenly lost his temper, as an automotive engineer and who is, what he hates the most is the kind of person who does not care about his car very much: "This engine oil has not been changed for three hundred years, it has become sludge, and the engine can still run, it is really solid...... Joshua, remember, this engine has to be taken down for a major cleaning, and call that bastard about the faults we found, either he will drive the car away or bring the money, we will never accept such a broken car with many problems like his ninety-year-old grandfather, unless the bastard lowers the price or gives the money ......"
Joshua didn't run to call, and said to Chen Geng with a bitter face: "Boss, this car is not consigned in our company, we bought it." β
"Bought it?" Chen Geng's brows immediately furrowed: "When did you buy it?"
Except for a few second-hand cars in good condition, Bieber used car sales company has always only consignment, the current Ozby vehicle is in very bad condition, want to be ready, the maintenance cost of labor and spare parts needs at least 1500 US dollars, in the eyes of Bieber, he will buy this car?
Joshua said, "Two days ago, the price of this car seemed to be $600......"
Without waiting for Joshua to finish speaking, Chen Geng waved his hand: "Okay, I know." β
They are all human spirits, and when Bieber handed over the company to himself, there were two vehicles purchased by the company, including this Ozby with a price of $1,000, Chen Geng didn't know that Bieber had dug a pit for himself: this bastard didn't forget to pit Lao Tzu before leaving!
Looking at Chen Geng with a calm face, Joshua was a little worried about whether Chen Geng would be angry with him, but Chen Geng, seeing Joshua looking at him nervously, couldn't help but smile: "It's not your fault, why are you so nervous...... Where's the other car Bieber bought?"
If I remember correctly, the second car that Bieber bought was a Lincoln Continental?
Joshua was a little surprised why Chen Geng was so calm, he had just been cheated by that bastard from Bieber for almost $1,000, but no matter what was going on, as long as he didn't get angry at himself, he hurriedly said, "Over here." β
Seeing the Lincoln Continental in front of him with round headlights and a round spare tire shape at the rear trunk lid, Chen Geng's eyes widened: "Is this car?"
A FOUR-DOOR CONTINENTAL MARK 2?
Joshua's head was about to be stuffed in the crotch of his pants: "Boss, I know this car is not worth $2,700, but Bieber was still the owner of the company when he bought this car......"
Joshua certainly knew what it was, a Lincoln Continental made by Ford in 1958, a 20-year-old car that didn't even have air conditioning.
Looking at Joshua's appearance, it is estimated that he sympathizes with himself and thinks that he has been miserably pitted by that bastard of Bieber, and it is true that for the United States, a country that sits on wheels, why is a 20-year-old car worth $2,700? A brand-new ordinary family car is only seven or eight thousand dollars, and a car that has been in production for 20 years is not worth $2,700 anyway, even if it is a Lincoln.
Looking at Chen Geng, who had a hideous expression, Joshua couldn't help but shrink his neck: The boss must be mad, forget it, don't touch the boss's moldy head.
The reason why Chen Geng's expression was hideous was not because he was angry, but because he was working very hard to hold back his laughter!
Bieber thought he had cheated himself on the way out? Do you know how much of a benefit he's brought to you, this idiot?
After a brief observation of the situation of this continental MARK 2, Chen Geng felt that if he refurbished and refurbished this car, if the final price was less than 50,000 US dollars, Lao Tzu would pick out his eyeballs as bubbles!
He waved his hand at Joshua: "Okay, you go wash the car, remember to follow my requirements, and wash me inside and out." β
Joshua's face suddenly turned into a bitter melon, was the boss angry and angry, and he couldn't find Bieber's bastard to settle the account, so he vented his anger on himself?
But Chen Geng's next sentence made him smile suddenly: "I will give you $20 for every car washed." β
Joshua immediately went with a smile, according to the requirements for vehicle cleaning previously formulated by the boss, he can wash at least three cars a day, that is, 60 dollars, and 1800 US dollars a month before taxes, which is more than double his current income.
Chen Geng went to the office "angrily", and when he entered the door, he didn't forget to slam the door, and Joshua was shocked when he listened: the boss was really angry.
Was Chen Geng really angry?
Of course not, he was worried that he would be seen and steal the fun aloneβhe was so happy that Bieber, an idiot who wanted to trick himself, had brought himself such a big benefit.
Generally speaking, automobiles, which are mass-produced industrial goods, are less and less valuable with the passage of time, but this situation only applies to ordinary cars in mass production, and there are always some exceptions, and some cars will not only not depreciate sharply over time, but will increase in value.
Usually these cars that can increase in value are from Rolls-Royce, from Ferrari, from Bentley, in short, some old, scarce production models, and this Continental Mark 2 is one of the few models in the American car product that can increase in value over time.
