102. "Let's buy a car too!"
"Buying a car?"
Zhou Fangyuan's words made Zhou's father and mother look at each other.
"Why do you think about this? Do we need to buy a car?"
Zhou's mother didn't speak, and Zhou's father looked at his son with some confusion, because he couldn't figure out how Zhou Fangyuan remembered this stubble.
"Of course it's necessary, if you're late in the future, you can't take a taxi every time, it's okay to get warm now, what should you do if it's cold in the future? With a car, our family's identity has become different, and when we go out to talk to people about something in the future, there is a car and no car, which is completely different. If nothing else, let's just say that if someone is going to join now, do you think the person who comes by car is more convincing or the person who walks is more convincing?"
Zhou Fangyuan shook his head and said.
He really had a whim about buying a car, although he had considered this kind of thinking before, but at that time he was thinking more about fast food restaurants, and he actively ignored this idea as soon as it appeared. Now that he thought about it again, he felt that it was necessary.
As he says, a car is not just a tool, it's a status symbol.
Especially in Beitong City in this era, there are not many people who have private cars, and those who have private cars will undoubtedly give people a feeling of being very rich. With money, of course, identity is different. Talking to others, whether you have a car or not is a side argument that proves whether you have the strength or not. Of course, everyone wants to cooperate with powerful people, which will undoubtedly save a lot of trouble.
On the contrary, if you go everywhere on foot, others will think that you have no strength and no ability, and in this way, the business that could have been negotiated may end up failing because there is no such means of transportation.
After all, these years are different from the afterlife.
In later generations, there were too many private cars, and they were crowded everywhere they went, and often taking a car was actually not good for the body, so many rich people, for the sake of health, for convenience, for low-key, for various reasons, on the contrary, they liked to travel on foot, and only when they encountered a particularly formal occasion would they drive there.
But in this day and age, the car represents identity, which is very unreasonable, but you have to accept it.
Zhou Fangyuan said his thoughts one by one, and Zhou's father, who was not good at words, was suddenly out of breath by what he said, and could only turn his head to look at his wife. And what about Mother Zhou? With a bowed and groaning expression, she raised her head after a while.
"Maybe we really need to buy a car. ”
Zhou's mother affirmed Zhou Fangyuan's proposal.
This is also part of her growth, that is, her horizons are broader.
If it was her before, she would never have made such a decision. Even if she has a lot of money all of a sudden, with her personality of being a housekeeper, she will not agree to buy such a thing. Even if you agree, you can buy a car for a maximum of 100,000 yuan.
However, now that she is a boss, she is used to collecting tens of thousands of dollars a day, and the most important thing is that she is now taking care of a fast food restaurant, and her realm has unconsciously improved, and she has begun to know how to think about problems with another mode of thinking.
So now she can agree to Zhou Fangyuan's proposal, and she can also put forward her own ideas.
"We not only want to buy, but if we want to buy it, we can buy the same, and it is better not to buy it if it is too bad. ”
Zhou Fangyuan listened to it and couldn't help but give his mother a thumbs up.
"Really?"
Dad Zhou's eyes widened, looking at his wife in surprise, and he couldn't help but show an excited look on his face.
He is actually a car lover, and when he used to be in the Light Industry Bureau's Gong Supply and Marketing Cooperative, he was the driver of the team. At that time, he was riding a BJ130 truck, which was one of the most common light trucks of the year.
Zhou Fangyuan vaguely remembered that he was about five or six years old, and it was still the Chinese New Year, because he had to go on a mission, so he needed three drivers to drive to Nanlong City. The journey of more than 200 kilometers takes about half a day. The other drivers were reluctant to go, and tried to find excuses to shirk. Only Zhou's father took the initiative to ask to go, so he touched the steering wheel more.
Later, he left the Supply and Marketing Cooperatives of the Light Industry Bureau, and he never had the opportunity to drive again.
In the last life, Zhou Fangyuan heard from his father that his biggest wish was to have his own car, which he could drive anytime and anywhere, and he could drive wherever he wanted. However, because of Zhou Fangyuan, he spent all the money of this family cleanly, and the result was obviously a very simple wish, and at that time, the price of the car had been reduced in various ways, but Zhou's father still failed to meet his wishes.
Now that I think about it, this is one of the regrets.
So he can especially understand his father's mood now, which is one of the reasons why he made this suggestion.
"Of course it's true, you think I'm teasing you haha!"
Zhou's mother glanced at Zhou's father, and then turned her head to look at Zhou Fangyuan.
"Son, do you know cars? What kind of car is better to buy if you want to buy a car?"
"I know, I know, Alto is good, and Lada, the leaders of our factory are driving Lada, and Xiali, and Volga are not bad......"
Dad Zhou couldn't wait to show his "erudition", but unfortunately, this didn't make Zhou's mother look at him more.
"I didn't ask you, what are you two widows (mouthy), I asked my son!"
Zhou's mother didn't save face for her man at all, Zhou Fangyuan sat on the side and watched this scene, and couldn't help but chuckle.
"I, I'm not, don't I want to express my opinion......"
Dad Zhou scratched his head and said with a wry smile.
"Your opinion? Does your opinion matter? Do you know what a good car is? If you want to ask or ask your son, you go away!"
Zhou's mother's eyes were smacked one after another, if this was a scene in the anime, Zhou's father might have been filled with countless flying knives.
Seeing that his whole body was wilting, Zhou Fangyuan couldn't help laughing.
Dad is like this, he spoils his mother for everything, if it is really a very principled issue, he will insist on it, and Zhou's mother will take the initiative to step aside. But now buying a car is a very serious thing, but in fact it is not a very important thing, and it doesn't matter if it's a day or a day later. The most important thing is that this kind of "noise" is a way for the husband and wife to deepen their relationship, Zhou Fangyuan has been watching it for decades, how can he not understand?
"Mom, if you want to say that the car is good, then I can't answer, there are too many good cars, I can only say that the better cars on the market now are Santana, Audi, BMW, Mercedes-Benz, which are all more common good cars. ”
Zhou Fangyuan replied.
In fact, what does he know about cars? In the previous life, he could not afford to buy a car, he could only say that these four brands were famous among ordinary people after all, and basically they could be said by themselves.
"Santana, Audi, BMW, Mercedes...... Mercedes is a good name, let's ......."
Zhou's mother muttered in her mouth, and subconsciously looked up at Zhou's father.
Dad Zhou hurriedly shook his head.
Zhou Fangyuan also smiled and waved his hand.
"Mom, I'm just saying in passing, other cars can work, forget about this Mercedes-Benz, this car will be nearly two million when it moves, we can't afford it." ”
Although the family's savings have exceeded 1.5 million before, after today's rapid growth, it has directly exceeded 2 million. But spending a million or hundreds of thousands of dollars to buy a car at once, the Zhou family has not yet reached that level. And he has a lot of follow-up plans, it's the time to ask for money, although buying a car is also very important, but it is not enough to take out all the savings to buy a car, it would be too stupid to do that.
"Nearly two million, what kind of car, so expensive?"
Mother Zhou's eyes widened in surprise when she heard this.
"Of course it's a good car, no, it's a luxury car. Mercedes-Benz is a German car, the quality is hard, and the car is really good, the founder of this company is also the inventor of the car, you say that people's cars are a little more expensive, isn't it normal? Even if we want to buy a car, we can't buy Mercedes-Benz, it's too expensive, at least not for our family. So if I were to say that if we want to buy a car, we still have to choose between the three brands of Santana, Audi and BMW.
But I think it's better for Audi, Santana's grade is a bit low, and I don't think it's good-looking. BMW's words are a bit expensive, and it costs seven or eight hundred thousand yuan to buy a BMW. Audi is the most suitable, the price of three or four hundred thousand, we can afford it, and we don't have to make a big move. ”
Why does Zhou Fangyuan know so much about the price of the car?
It can only be said that there are too many rich people among his classmates.
Wu Enqi is a leader, his father drives a Mercedes-Benz, which can be regarded as a top luxury car in the entire parent circle. Next is Duan Qingyi, in the previous life, Zhou Fangyuan had seen Duan Qingyi's father drive a BMW to pick her up, which shows that Duan Qingyi's family is also very rich. Then there are other students, the cars driven by their parents, starting from Alto, are basically available in all price segments, but even the cheapest Alto is beyond the reach of the Zhou family back then.
But now it's no problem, even if you can't afford to buy a BMW, you can still buy an Audi.
And Audi is also very good, Volkswagen's brand, which is also a German car, is quite reliable in quality, and the driving experience is also quite good. The most important thing is that Zhou Fangyuan likes that kind of round and mellow feeling, but it is Santana's square shell, he really can't like it.
Besides, Zhou's father and Zhou's mother, when they heard the price of three or four hundred thousand, their first reaction was that it was quite expensive, but if you think about it carefully, this price is indeed appropriate. Isn't there such a saying? Buying something, when you buy it with your hand and don't feel distressed, that's when you buy it. BMW and Mercedes-Benz are too expensive, bumps can hurt people to death, and Santana is too square, so Audi has become the last choice of the Zhou family.
"Then it's decided, let's go see the car tomorrow!"
Zhou's mother made a decision with a wave of her hand.
"Huh, I'm going to school tomorrow for the New Year's Day tea party......"
"I'll take a leave of absence, I'll go and ask for a leave of absence. ”
Mother Zhou rarely helped like this, and Zhou Fangyuan's eyes immediately lit up.
