Chapter 174: New Year's Goods
A few days later, a large container truck stopped at the door of Yang Meng's residence, and Yang Meng stood next to the truck and compared it with a shopping list.
"Hey, neighbor, what are you doing here?" a red sports car stopped beside Yang Meng.
Yang Meng greeted and said, "Hi, neighbor, I bought a batch of New Year's goods." I'm looking to see what's wrong!"
The person who greeted him was none other than the beautiful foreigner neighbor Zete.
Zete smiled and took out a 'cloth tiger' from the co-pilot seat and said, "I like your country's New Year's goods so much! Look, this is what I just bought, is it cute?"
Yang Meng stretched out his thumb: "Very cute." Are you going out?"
Zete nodded: "yes, I'm also very busy." I'm going to the Northern Capital. β
Yang Meng said with a smile: "Then you are busy first, don't delay your affairs." I've almost bought the New Year's goods, and I'm ready to go home for the New Year, we'll see you in the New Year!"
Zete smiled and waved his hand: "Okay, we'll see you in the next year!" After saying that, he started the car and roared away.
Di Wei happened to come out and saw Zete's car leaving: "Master, who is that?"
At first, he was still very reluctant to call Master Yang Meng, but now he has changed his words.
Yang Meng pointed to Zete's house in the distance and said, "Who else could it be?"
"She's a good driver, what the hell is she doing?" Di Wei likes to play with cars, and sighed as he watched Zete drive away.
Yang Meng spread out her hands: "You ask me, who will I ask?" Anyway, just now she said that she was going to Beidu, maybe there was business over there." β
"Drive the Rolls-Royce 'Phantom' to the Northern Capital?" Di Wei had a speechless expression on his face after hearing this.
Yang Meng asked curiously, "Is there anything wrong with this?"
Di Wei nodded: "Master, if you pay attention, you will find that there are many cars on the highway, but there are not many luxury cars." You just said that we have all Bentleys and Rolls-Royces in Handong City, but how many luxury cars have you seen on the highway?"
Yang Meng was stunned for a moment, thought for a while and said curiously: "Don't you say that I haven't thought of this yet, I really think about it when you say this." We really don't see luxury cars on the highway. Why is that?"
Di Wei explained: "Master, what do you think those people are buying these luxury cars for? Isn't it just to make others envious? You have so few people on the highway, who will look at your car." β
'Poof', Yang Meng laughed: "Do you think I can believe this reason?"
Di Wei also laughed: "Okay, I made up this reason, but you can't deny that I have a point in saying it." β
Yang Meng nodded: "It does make sense." But that also has to divide people, you see that the car just now is useless in front of me------ I don't know it, do I?"
Di Wei explained: "Actually, these people who buy luxury cars are not stupid. Most of them buy luxury cars for identity and to attend some occasions to use, our people are not used to holding a car to look up at people? But they will also calculate the car value retention rate and other issues, you go to the second-hand car market to see, those luxury cars basically run about 5,000 kilometers a year, just say that the Rolls-Royce Phantom, you calculate the difference between the price of new cars and second-hand cars and calculate the number of kilometers, which is equivalent to those luxury cars to drive a kilometer will cost 200 yuan. β
"How much?" Yang Meng's eyes widened: "Two hundred for one kilometer?"
"Yes, you can say Rolls-Royce Phantom, buy a new one for about 5.5 million. The price of a second-hand Rolls-Royce Phantom that has run 30,000 kilometers is almost 3.5 million kilometers, which is 2 million less, counting the loss of fuel or something, almost 200 yuan per kilometer. If you run long distances for hundreds or thousands of kilometers, is the value retention rate of this car greatly reduced? Can you drive this thing for long distances? It is definitely not bad for money. Di Wei explained.
Yang Meng whistled: "So if you count it, it's a car, it's obviously an ancestor!"
Long Teng happened to come over, heard the conversation between the two and smiled: "This is only one aspect, and there is another reason. β
"What is the reason?" Yang Meng asked.
Long Teng said: "Not everyone cares about this money, I know a buddy who is much richer than my family, and there are hundreds of luxury cars of various brands in his garage." He was in a car accident driving a Ferrari 'Rafa', and it took him more than a year to return to the factory for repairs! He was more afraid of wasting time, but I think she should have driven to the airport and threw the car directly at the airport. I said, Master, what kind of mess are you buying here? I can understand the household appliances such as refrigerators and televisions. What is this? What are you buying these generators for?"
Yang Meng patted Long Teng's shoulder: "Dude, how can you big people living in the city know about the life of our small mountain village?"
"You don't have electricity, can't you?" asked Long Teng.
Yang Meng said with a smile: "The power is connected, it was powered more than ten years ago, but the quality of the power grid at that time can be compared with now? Fortunately, our ancestors have a clause that 'prohibits deforestation', otherwise we would be unlucky if we encounter a mudslide or something." It's good to bring back so many electrical appliances this time, and it is good to prepare generators, a total of four, one for each family!"
Long Teng stretched his head into the carriage and looked at it: "I said, master, why did you buy a satellite pot here? This thing is forbidden to be installed, right?"
Yang Meng nodded and said: "I know, but what can you do for me? I don't have any cable TV at home, I can receive a few TV stations in total, so I have to let my parents have TV to watch, right? Now the information sources of your people in the city are all through the Internet, but what about people from small mountain villages like us? But it turns out that only those few stations can watch a fart!"
Di Wei pouted and said, "I just think those people are full of food, what do you care about this satellite pot." What a good thing. When I was in school, I installed one in the dormitory, but I was fined 1,000 yuan for dismantling it, and who did I reason with? β
Yang Meng smiled: "This thing is indeed dangerous, someone in the village next to us used to install this thing, but when the thunder hits, the thunder splits." That guy is a stupid X too. This can make a pot happy for a lot of family affairs, but he eats alone, so no one cares about him when he lets Lei split. You see, I bought a large cauldron with a large coverage this time, and these six cauldrons can be brought in by all the TVs in our village, isn't that enough?"
Long Teng patted Di Wei on the shoulder: "The satellite pot thing, to put it mildly, involves national security, because you can transmit intelligence and receive overseas information through this thing." It can endanger national security, and if you know how to debug, you can still get a lot of messy programsγγγγγγ You know!"
Yang Meng said with a smile: "The most important thing is: if everyone is safe with this thing and no one pays to watch free programs, you let the TV station drink the northwest wind? There is nothing they can do about a few cauldrons. β
"Master, I really want to go to your hometown to see what you said. Why don't I go back with you this year?" Long Teng said.
Yang Meng hurriedly waved his hand and said, "Come on, you! Finally, Long Xixiang doesn't bother me, you bother me again? I don't know what to do with that lame leg alone!"
As soon as he finished speaking, a man came out from under the truck: "Thanks to Dr. Pan and Dr. Di, my leg is almost healed." Please don't use the word 'lame' to describe me. β
Yunlong has returned to the northern capital, but Yang Meng can't get rid of 'Seventeen'. His task is to 'protect' Yang Meng's 'safety' at any time.
Why did he follow Yang Meng, isn't Sima Zhao's heart known to passers-by?
Long Teng asked curiously, "Seventeen, what are you doing under the car?"
'Seventeen' had no expression on his face: "I checked the car, and no bombs or tracking equipment were planted. β
Everyone: "γγγγγγγ β
Yang Meng shrugged his shoulders and said, "Don't look at me, I don't even know what his brain circuits are about." Somebody put a bomb on me?
'Seventeen' said, "I will drive this car, and I must ensure its safety." β
"Hey, Seventeen, aren't you going home for the New Year? You don't have to go home with me. You can go home and have a look. Yang Meng said.
'Seventeen' shook his head: "I'm an orphan. It was brought up by the master, and it is the same wherever you go for the New Year!"
Yang Meng scolded angrily after hearing this: "This old man of Yunlong deceived me with a few bottles of wine with the soil he brewed, and then ran back to the Northern Capital!
'Seventeen' glared at Yang Meng angrily after hearing this.
Yang Meng waved his hand: "Don't stare at me! Old man Yunlong is here, I will say the same! β
Long Teng changed the subject: "I said, master, didn't you say that you want to go back a year ago? Why do you have to go back so suddenly?"
Yang Meng said: "Xixiang didn't tell you, my uncle's child got married, let me go back quickly." β
"Well, why have I never heard you say this?" asked Long Teng, puzzled.
Yang Meng said helplessly: "Don't say you haven't heard of me, I don't know what's going on." My uncle moved out of our hometown and went south when I was still ignorant, and I don't even remember what he looked like. This suddenly came back and said that the son was going to get married, and invited our family to come over. God knows what they're up to. Second stunned, don't be busy. When the lobsters come, we'll go back!"
Hu Er was sorting things out in the carriage, and jumped out of the car directly after listening to Yang Meng's words: "Mengmeng, don't say that I scare you, didn't our family say that the grave was going to be moved?
Yang Meng was stunned when she heard this: "No, right? they have been away from home for so long." I lived for more than twenty years and didn't see them come back. β
"Prepare for the worst and prepare for the worst. Whether it's a relative or a friend, as long as you haven't been in touch for a long time and suddenly get in touch again, there is a good chance that it will be fine!" Hu Er said stunned.
Yang Meng thought for a while: "What's the matter, anyway, just wait for the lobster and the West Chamber, let's leave when they come." β
"Hmm, the West Chamber, too, is coming over to see you off?" asked Long Teng.
Yang Meng shrugged: "She's so mysterious, who knows what she's going to do." β
