Volume 1 Chapter 52, Friends from the Frontier Are Here Again
Xue Haidong came quickly, and he didn't even need Xing Yu to pick him up at the airport, so he came in a taxi.
The two didn't have much communication, so they contacted He Bin to see Chebei first. Don't look at Xue Haidong's always making big cars, it looks like small cars have always been unambiguous, and a few more models were excluded from Xing Yu's selection, and the reason was not elaborated.
Then I went directly to Leader He Bin to book the matter, and left Xing Yu with a sentence, I will wait for you in Xi'an. I'll get ready when I go back, you don't have to worry about it.
Come in a hurry, go in a hurry. When Zhou Long and Xing Yu were still worried about the source of the car, Xue Haidong had already directly booked the car and went back to find logistics.
After the two of them got in touch, it had been another week since the vehicle was ready, and it was said that Xue Guodong was almost ready for the car over there.
It has been more than half a month since I returned to Xi'an, and all the vehicles pulled back in order to speed up the progress were not prepared and went directly to the auction. Abdu, who had already been informed, also came, and this time he also brought a piece of Xiaohetian jade seed material to Xing Yu, and Xing Yu didn't know it, so he put it in his pocket.
Abdu came by plane this time, and in addition to the auction vehicle, Xing Yu also asked Xing Yu to find a Shuanghuan CEO.
It is said that someone in the local area bought a CEO, and the whole car was changed to the BMW X5 logo, and since then he has been at the peak of his life, fooling all kinds of little girls every day.
Or that sentence, how many people know about cars? Look at the same logo, the shape is almost the same, they all think that this car is really BMW X5, the most awesome thing is that once I was rear-ended by someone else's drunk, people got out of the car and looked around, and directly took out 20,000 yuan to understand the matter.
How much is the CEO of Shuanghuan? The new car is a little more than 100,000 yuan, and the second-hand car is super unworthy, and half of the price will be gone in two years. The owner pretended to be very angry and asked for an extra 5,000 yuan before it was finished.
This made the CEO famous in the local area for a while, tens of thousands of dollars to buy a car, a few hundred yuan to change it, and if someone scratches it, he will lose 20,000 yuan, and he can buy a real BMW X5 if he scratches a few more times......
In 2008, Munich, Germany, ruled that the appearance design of the Chinese Shuanghuan CEO car sold by German dealers was "similar" to the BMW X5 model, which was an "infringement". In addition to the CEO model, another model of Shuanghuan Automobile, the Little Aristocrat, was also accused by the German company Daimler AG of copying the design of the Smart model, which is a classic two-seater minicar of Daimler AG.
What kind of magical company is Shuanghuan? In the late 80s, Shuanghuan was established in the world, and has its own stamping company, Lile Seat Company, Xiezhong Air Conditioning Company, Red Star Automobile Factory and other branches. However, after searching all the information, I didn't find a design company, and even the design team didn't know which senior engineer was in charge.
Since 05 years of "development and development" of Shuanghuan CEO, the Internet also said that it is a well-off life and white-collar entrepreneurship special car, popular all over the country, and has been rated as the most popular economic SUV many times.
This kind of vanity modification is different from Xing Yu's professional modification, vanity modification does not think about practicality at all, it is the blind pursuit of appearance and a well-known foreign brand is extremely similar, this kind of model is often OK from a distance, like that will things, there are a lot of incongruous feelings when you look closely, and you can't see it at all when you sit in the cab.
Shuanghuan CEO, there are still a few units in the market, and everyone is tacitly marked with a higher price, fishing.
If you have your own people come forward, you still have to save face. Originally, fishing requires patience, and there is no shortage of those who are impatient to make some money and sell it, no matter how small the fly is, it is meat.
Before the auction, Abdu sold two Shuanghuan CEOs as he wished, and then gave Xing Yu a problem, "Help me change it to X5?"
"Hmm? Completely changed? The grille, hood, headlight blades, and wheels have to be replaced to be presentable. Xing Yu thought for a while and said.
"Hey, how much does it cost my friend to do that? Can you help me, just buy all that logo." Abdo shook his head and said.
What? What are you teasing me? Is it okay to change the logo of the whole car? That is also called modification? Xing Yu couldn't react for a while, this is also a bit exaggerated.
The first principle of sales is that the customer is God. Since God has made a request, it is not difficult to change the logo of the whole car, and it can be done by visiting the auto parts city.
There are a lot of pirated software, and there is nothing strange about pirated cars, after all, the sense of property rights of the Chinese people is so weak that there is nothing to add, just like there are so many places to read books for free, how many people can go to see the genuine version?
At the auction, Abdu and two from Gan Province, one Qinghu was out of the limelight, and if he didn't understand the rules, he would forget it, and the price he gave made other old customers sitting below him all new and fearful, what does this mean, a little higher than our selling price, and you bought it?
Don't you know the auction rules, and there is still an auction fee to pay?
The madness of a few outsiders at the auction, Zhou Long was happy, the old people were unwilling, you play like this, how can we make money in the future? Cutting off people's wealth is like killing parents, Zhou Long didn't expect that he had committed a taboo.
The consequence is that when the rest of the company introduces cars to some car dealers, they get a unified answer: "Why don't you directly introduce them to those foreign dealers, introduce me to a hammer, I can't give them the price." ”
The auction was a success, with a new record set for auction speed and auction price. Many car dealers who wandered around the car market only learned the news later, and beat their chests with regret. The auction has not yet been prepared, and someone has already paid the auction deposit.
Isn't it, there are a few car dealers who Abdo knows when they see Abdo coming to the air-conditioned house every day, and they don't look for them one by one around the market under the sun, and ask one by one.
It was only three or four days of work to pull away the three-plank vehicle. I found more than I found in a month or two, and I heard that they are all first-hand car sources, and there is no middleman to make the difference. That's only a few dollars, who cares, and no one talks much about this service fee in the rumors.
This success made Zhou Long full of confidence, and he immediately planned to arrange the next auction. But some people in the company are unwilling, thinking that this is tantamount to killing chickens and eggs, and then let us contact foreign sellers to participate in the auction, we will lose the local reputation and local customers.
Because it was Zhang Junping who put forward the opinion, Zhou Long used the son-in-law of the local car dealer as an excuse to automatically block this suggestion. For this reason, the two began to contradict and conflict.
"Let's take a walk, our Bangdu Capital Corporation and some companies in Lu have already issued invitations to provide us with free cars and auction shares. "Zhou Long is ready to do a big job this time, to integrate all the resources of developed cities.
Ma Jie, Xing Yu, and Zhang Fengyang have nothing to criticize, this is all arranged by the leader, and we will just follow the work.
None of the two old men supported it. If you want to take the company people away for ten days, what about the local business?
Xing Yu also took the initiative to ask Ying at this time, asking to stay and manage the local market, and asked other colleagues to visit and study in other places, but in fact, because he has been too busy recently, he has delayed Xue Guodong's affairs over there, and it is also excellent to go on a business trip and solve the matter here.
In the past few days, I have received calls from Lang Liang every day, and I have been asking when I got the car back. Xing Yu can only tell the truth, there is really no time here, and he hasn't even seen the dozen or so MB100s since he returned to Xi'an.
"You're here? These cars have problems. We have to find a way to solve it first," Xing Yu was beaten on the head by Xue Guodong as soon as he arrived at the repair shop.
Is this going to be a bad thing?
It is not so much the problem of this batch of cars as the congenital problem of the MB100 that came out of the mother's womb of the Mercedes-Benz manufacturer. All MB100s have a flaw from the design.
Xue Guodong also studied it after recovering this batch of cars, and heard some news at this time, a MB100 in Ganzhou Province on a certain day in a certain year, a certain month, and a certain day, the brakes deviated, causing a major traffic accident with several deaths and injuries.
In the same year, there were a number of traffic accidents caused by brake problems in China.
I found a lot of information, and I also found a lot of teachers to check on the spot. It was found that the right rear brake pipe of this car was flattened on the upper part of the rear axle, and the thickness was less than 2mm. It was also noted that the exhaust pipe of the car formed a cross with the rear axle, and its clearance was too small, but the right rear brake hose was not suitable to pass through it. When the vehicle is under pressure and driving, the car body expands up and down, and the brake pipe is flattened by stamping, resulting in serious deformation of the brake oil pipe and poor oil circuit, thereby endangering driving safety.
These are all problem cars, which have existed since the beginning of the design, and Mercedes-Benz has inherited its usual style and concealed it without reporting. No one cares about selling to South Korea's Ssangyong, and no one deals with selling it to Huizhong.
This is all the result of the OEM for the sake of manufacturing costs. Now it seems that there is no such problem in these recovered vehicles, and the brake pipes are still intact and not damaged. But who knows if that will happen in the future?
The road surface in the western region is also often unpaved, and it is normal to bump up and down, and the main thing to go back is to pull tourists. Running on bumpy roads with a full load is more likely to happen, in case the brake pipe breaks on the mountain road, the consequences are the consequences.
Xing Yu still wants to make a hit, if something happens, it will be stinking for 10,000 years.
What should I do? Find a manufacturer? Who cares about you? Do it yourself, isn't he a brake hose that is not in good shape? Isn't he a brake hose with bad quality?
Xue Guodong said that there are more problems with such brake hoses on the car, change a brake hose with a hard shell, find those masters who specialize in processing high-pressure pipes for the cart to take a new position, avoid these places that are easy to collide, and should be able to solve the problem.
For this reason, Xing Yu had to invite Hong Yeshan again, this brake pipe is in position, he can't handle it, and the other masters in the repair shop are also able to move their mouths, and what they say is good, but in practice, they just stare at each other.
The veteran is out of the horse, one top three. The solution is cheap and practical.
Lengthen the brake tube to go around the road, and then two rubber pads as limiters. Although the problem has not been fundamentally solved, if you want to be better, you can only change the rear axle design.
But now when the owner is driving, as long as the situation of the limiter is checked regularly, in case of damage and timely replacement, there will be no major problems, and when there is a problem, pay attention to controlling the speed, which can be regarded as a psychological preparation for brake deviation, and can also solve the problem faster and more timely.
Xing Yu couldn't figure out why the manufacturer didn't do what could be solved for a few hundred yuan.
"It's all about money. Xue Guodong and Hong Yeshan answered Xing Yu's questions in unison.
