Volume 1 Chapter 45: Selling Cars in My Hometown
Friends from afar came to meet today, drove a car to pick you up to the wine table, you have a glass, I have a cup, don't get drunk and don't return every day. Drinking and sleeping on the side of the street, the eyes are blank and meet again, only the sunset is the rising sun.
Drink to cover the sky and the sun, and drink darkly. The revolutionary wine cannot be broken, and the brotherhood is deep and bloody.
The above is a true portrayal of Xing Yu's two days home, and his parents didn't have time to say a few more words, the car was parked downstairs and never drove, and every day he was pulled directly from the bed by others, and then sent back straight and straight.
I can't tell you why, it's a habit here in Birch River, there's nothing to do in winter, and if you don't drink, it seems that there will be a lot less entertainment.
Xing Yu's biggest memory of his father when he was a child is besides being beaten. It is to hold a measuring cup for a while, five milliliters today, and eight milliliters tomorrow. This place, without a little drinking, is very difficult to do.
Finally, Xing Yu suddenly woke up in the middle of the night. I remembered that my car hadn't started yet, and it was freezing this day, don't freeze. It is not an exaggeration, in winter, it is more than 30 degrees below zero, and there is a special supply of negative 35 diesel here.
Take a taxi, no response, find someone to fight the fire. What else can I do? A car with a manual transmission can be pulled by the car and caught on fire. The automatic transmission can only be put in neutral (N) gear, and it is connected to someone else's battery and tries to ignite.
Ignition under the oil pan? Come on bro, this isn't a big car (that's the name of the big coach here). Ignition is too dangerous, and the blowtorch is not suitable.
Or a master in the folk, the lead wire is connected to the electric blanket. Cover the engine to increase the temperature. A busy car finally started, but the sound was a puff. Yes, I must have not noticed it on the first day I came back, and the turbocharger was broken.
The Passat in '04 is still mechanically supercharged, and it can't be turned off directly after stopping after every long distance. You must stop and idle for more than ten minutes, and wait for the temperature to drop before you can turn off the ignition.
It's almost the New Year, and I can't find any other repairman, and the accessories are bought from Jinshan City, 300 kilometers away, and I have enough food and clothing to do it myself.
At this time, Xing Yu's father and son had some time to learn to speak. "Didn't you learn some website, why did you still repair your own car?" Xing Yongkang put his hand on the side, and he was also curious, what was his son doing outside?
"Old man, you have a lot of tools, and it's very easy to use, where did you buy it?" Xing Yu wanted to quickly divert these topics.
"Well, these are all imported. I changed it when the port was open in the past. Xing Yongkang is also proud of his collection.
It's true, it is said that in those days, match silk scarves could be exchanged for motorcycles. In the era when the big country had just disintegrated, the country of Stan was only a heavy industrial base of the big country, and it did not produce these light industrial products.
The credibility of the currency is a little worse, and it can only be bartered. Xing Yu was very happy to listen to his old man tell these stories, so that he could ask less about his own situation.
In the morning, Xing Yu listened to the story of the old man and repaired the car by himself.
"Buzz...... Buzz...... "Finally heard the sound of the engine without noise. "Old man, keep your tools for me, these will be heirlooms in the future, if you don't pay attention when you buy them now, it's easy to buy tools that you can't use." Xing Yu rubbed the greasy on his hands and said to the father next to him with a smile.
"How did you learn to repair a car, our family has been a literate person for several lifetimes, and there has never been a worker. At that time, you were asked to study medicine, but you didn't study, and your grandfather taught you in vain when you were a child?" Xing Yongkang reacted, he hadn't asked what his son was doing outside?
At noon, at the dinner table, it was also the first time Xing Yu had sat down with his family to eat in the past few days when he went home.
"What are you doing over there? How much is your salary? Why don't you find a girlfriend?" Xing Yu's mother asked while enthusiastically serving Xing Yu vegetables.
Eh, this is the inevitable soul question and answer for many people who go home for the New Year. "Zijun, what are you going to do after graduation?Do you want to go to graduate school?" Xing Yu will cause trouble as soon as possible, at this time, I can't say that the brother and sister are in deep love, anyway, when she was a child, she didn't cause much trouble and let herself be beaten, and now she leads the fire to her sister-in-law, Xing Yu has no pressure at all.
"Yes, Zijun, are you going to work? Or do you have other ideas?" Xing Yongkang obviously still preferred his daughter a little more, and immediately shifted his focus at this time.
"Let's talk about you first, your sister has just graduated, so don't worry. Xing Yu's mother interjected at this time. This is the five good families, and the red sign at the door of the house cannot be hung in vain.
"How are the housing prices over there now? You bragged about buying your own house, do you regret it now?" asked the mother another pointed question.
In fact, parents are still very experienced, and when they go to work in other places, they still have to buy a house before they can be considered stable. If there is no house, how can there be a home, and if there is no home, what is the stability......
"It's gone up a little, don't worry, the job is just stable, wait a minute, the price will be reduced." When the time comes, buy a big house and pick you all up. By the way, my mother didn't buy anything when she came back for the New Year, and she will give you a card later, and you take it. "Xing Yu almost can't eat here, why are these things?
After eating quickly, Xing Yu wiped his mouth, got dressed, took out the card and handed it to his mother. "It's my birthday, I'll go out to check in for the car, and then find someone to sell the car." As he spoke, he hurried out, these questions at home were too sharp, I didn't know how to answer, and thirty-six plans were the best plan.
Drive around your hometown, where you used to say that there were nine lights on one road, and one foot on the accelerator to the end. Drunkards sleep on the streets, and ox carts and carriages run all over the streets.
It's different now, the wide asphalt road, the street lights are more beautiful than many big cities, the streets are full of newly built buildings, and the appearance is brand new, and the neon lights are even more beautiful at night.
Find a print shop and advertise a little more. The car is also posted on the car for sale, and there are special windows to see information at the entrance of several markets, and other places cannot be posted, which is also required by health and health.
As for the market, there is not a single secondary store for new cars. Used car sales are still in their primitive, and they have to be passed on by word of mouth before anyone can know.
This is also the reason why the price of cars here is relatively high, the information is asymmetrical, and the local difference price is one of the most profitable second-hand cars. Later, the Internet developed, and various second-hand car websites also became popular, which actually affected the price of the vehicle. You can't compare the price of Jiangsu, Zhejiang and Shanghai with the new Ganqing.
Transportation reasons, car ownership, per capita ownership are all related to the price of vehicles, and new and used cars are different.
If you put up an advertisement, you will naturally park your car in the place with the most people. Then continue to find someone to drink, this cold day, Xing Yu doesn't play cards, what else can he do besides drinking?
Vehicle formalities have already been done by someone, and there is also the advantage of being small that everyone knows whom. These cars haven't arrived yet, so they're going through the process.
I found a suitable spot at the entrance of the big market, and before I stopped the car, someone came knocking on the door. Xing Yu thought it was a parking fee, and rolled down the window while looking for change.
"Hey, friend, do you sell your car?" the visitor asked when he saw the window lowered. "I heard from others earlier, there is a black car in Haba River that they said they bought it, and they also said that there is another one, is it you? I have been looking for a long time, but I haven't seen you come out. ”
The people who came didn't care about Xing Yu, and they kept chattering to themselves. "Hey, come down, let me see your car. ”
Xing Yu only reacted at this time, this buddy is not here to charge, he wants to buy a car. It's the customer, then you have to be warmly received.
What did the old leaders of the 4S store say in the past? When you see people, you talk about people, you talk nonsense when you see ghosts, and you can't talk nonsense when you see God.
"Hey, brother, what about selling, a few days ago I had a lot of friends who wanted it, but unfortunately I didn't have enough money, and I didn't stay here all the time, can't I help it. You didn't see that I had been back for a few days before I posted a car sales list. Xing Yu is accustomed to expressing multiple meanings in the dialogue.
First, my car is very good, otherwise I wouldn't have so many friends who want it. Second, you can't owe money for your car, you must pay it all at once. Third, you just saw the advertisement, and you buy it cheaply now.
Obviously, the person who came didn't understand what Xing Yu meant, he just wanted to test the car. That's impossible, if you don't pay a deposit, who would dare to let you try it directly.
The two of them talked for a long time, but there was no way to come. took out his motorcycle key: "Hey, my motorcycle key is for you, don't you Ran (Ran, Xinjiang dialect grinding)"
"Friend, you didn't ask the price, are you going to test the car?" Xing Yu also felt that the communication was so tiring, how could he go out and have a generation gap with the people in his hometown in the past few years?
"Is this the price? We can say it, do you want me to take a fancy to the car first?" I understand what you mean, I'm afraid I'll touch you, my car is all bet on you, and if you touch it, the motorcycle will be yours. "The people who came continued to be unrelenting.
"Do you want the money, what do I want your motorcycle for?" Xing Yu also felt that there was no way to continue, this communication was so tiring and tiring.
I can't stand the grinding of people, who is Ran? Xing Yu finally accepted the opinion of the visitor, no way, the customer is God.
"Hey, friend, where's your clutch?" the visitor took a general look at the car and got into the car and sat down in the driver.
As soon as this sentence came out, Xing Yu was so frightened that he almost urinated. Haven't you seen an automatic transmission car? Hurry down and drive yourself to a place where there is no one and no snow. It took a long time to explain that people understood the difference between automatic transmission and manual transmission.
"Isn't this a spoon (spoon, Xinjiang dialect meaning fool) car? Isn't it, don't you need to change gears?"
"This high-tech is okay, the secretary, it's like this, and the rich people in the city are all like this. It's very convenient. Xing Yu said.
"Hey, why are the brakes broken? How do you step on it, all of a sudden, all of a sudden, jump up. "It's hard to get started here, and as soon as I tried the brakes, I immediately asked.
"Hey, friend, how did you get your driver's license? This ABS, do you know? That's it. "Xing Yu is really going crazy, ABS works like this.
"Hey, I've been driving for more than ten years, do you know about liberation? That Uncle Lei Feng's car, I used to drive every day to pull wood. The visitor continued.
"Old driver, did you have to step on the accelerator quickly when you used to snow slippery?"
The antilock brake system (ABS) is referred to as ABS. The function is to automatically control the braking force of the brake when the car is braking, so that the wheels are not locked up, and are in a state of rolling and slipping (the slip rate is about 20%), so as to ensure that the adhesion between the wheels and the ground is at the maximum.
To put it simply, the brake is controlled by the solenoid valve, so that the wheels will not be completely locked, so that the vehicle can stop in a shorter time and a shorter distance, which can effectively prevent sideslip and tail flicking and other runaway states, stop the car without losing control. On slippery and icy roads, stepping on the brakes has this feeling of the brake pedal jumping and not being able to step on.
To put it more simply, there is a computer that helps you step on, release, step on it, and release the brake hundreds or thousands of times in a second.
Old drivers like to brag about their skills, but in fact, this kind of behavior of continuously stepping on the brakes and pretending to be ABS, Xing Yu feels that it has no effect at all.
"Friend, did you pull wood before? Mountain Forest Farm or Plains Forest Farm?" Xing Yu decided to change his sales routine, and he couldn't understand the car, so we would get close.
