Volume 1 Chapter 117: Online Auctions

Two days later, Xue Guodong suddenly sent Xing Yu a big red envelope of 4,000 yuan, and Xing Yu learned that Shi Hui had received a six-wheel drive KAMAZ, and now he had driven it to Weizi's repair shop.

Xing Yu, a fellow countryman, is now terrible, since many years ago the acquisition of a Dongfeng sand leopard, began his own truck off-road journey, a whole year, every day after work is the repair shop, every screw is refurbished electroplating, the whole car is dismantled sandblasting, rust removal, painting, all hands-on.

The fanaticism for off-road trucks makes Weizi painful and happy. He started to get in touch with trucks when he was a teenager, from the original Gas 51 to Jiefang CA10B, CA15, then Dongfeng 140, Jiefang 141, Huanghe, Poland Yichel, Mitsubishi T850, Fuso, Hino, etc., and he liked off-road trucks from his brother's Dongfeng 240 at the beginning.

Shi Hui went to Weizi, that is, he took a fancy to his persistence and persistence.

For the modification of trucks, Weizi is regarded as the NO1 in a private company, and quickly gave Shihui's professional advice. Since off-road truck modification is almost a blank market in China, and many things need to be customized, Shihui planned to participate in the plan to participate in the ring tower next year, which was quickly disrupted.

It's the end of October, and the ring tower is usually held in May and June every year.

It looks like there is half a year, but it is too hasty for truck modification, Weizi's own car has been built for almost two years before he has the ability to race, and now it takes half a year to build a racing car, which is basically an impossible task.

Not to mention anything else, a single shock absorption modification, it takes a lot of time to debug, this is not an ordinary off-road vehicle, KAMAZ after adding a closed back box, the weight of the whole car is close to 6 tons, which is still the weight of all alloy materials.

The general shock absorber, which simply can't stand the bumps of the race, quickly loses its effect. One of the most important steps in the conversion of a vehicle is the selection of shock absorbers. The main purpose of the shock absorber is to suppress the shock when the spring rebounds after shock absorption and absorb the energy of road impact. Only with the right suspension can the car get the best handling performance.

The world's leading teams in the Dakar Rally basically use Reiger's shock absorbers.

These applications in the world-class competition shock absorption, the value of a lot of money, often tens of thousands of dollars, just the order cycle is more than half a year, just from the time, it is too late to catch up with next year's competition, let alone debugging and installation.

The shock absorbers that can be found in China now do not meet Weizi's expectations, so we can only find a trustworthy manufacturer to customize them......

In addition to shock absorption, chassis guards, and cabin structures, all need to be hand-built or customized......

"Brother Shi Hui, next year's competition, I estimate that it will be dangerous, and there will definitely be no problem in the competition the year after next......" Weizi gave such a reply after many considerations.

This answer obviously didn't satisfy Shi Hui, he had already planned to participate in the competition, how could he be delayed like this?

After many unsuccessful communications, Shi Hui left in decline, this car could not catch up with his own competition, Shi Hui lost interest, and wanted to return the car for a while, but fortunately, Weizi also took a fancy to this car and bought it directly from Shi Hui at a low price.

couldn't participate in the competition, Xue Haidong couldn't hold back his desire to go off-road, and kept telling Xing Yu that he also wanted to get a real off-road vehicle to play.

Don't think that people who do second-hand cars can find any car at any time, the condition and price of the car are all problems, and sometimes second-hand car dealers will look for a long time for a desired car.

Coincidentally, there was the first online auction of retired vehicles recently, and this auction had thousands of vehicles to be auctioned, and the organizers had already replaced it with Taotaole, the country's largest online sales platform.

The mode is similar to the auction organized by Xing Yu and them before, you can see the car on the spot, but the bidding is all carried out on the Internet, there is no on-site host, and the car will be displayed directly on the webpage after the auction starts, and you can just look at the bid.

The advantage of this is that no one knows who made the price, and it is too difficult to rig bids......

There are 357 vehicles in the Qincheng venue, parked under the two huge simple sheds, Xing Yu who saw the catalog of competing products wanted to cry, this made it, the license plate of the age model, there was no sorting, only one model could be seen on the web page, the age, the formalities, and the configuration, not to mention the car condition inspection.

Taotaole probably also wants to get a piece of the pie in the field of auto e-commerce, but in addition to publicity and auction mode, you have done too poorly in other aspects.

Print it out yourself, cross out the models you don't want directly with a black pen, these old models, now are not popular, and there is nothing commemorative here, this is not as good as before, too many people buy cars and like models within three or four years, more than five years of vehicles are not easy to sell, not to mention these seven or eight years.

After all, the Chinese people have a good face, and the owners of the few cars with maintenance records that Xing Yu has sold recently, will propose to modify the odometer.

After persuasion failed, Xing Yu could only let it go, now it is far more troublesome to collect the car than before, to check the maintenance records, insurance records, and vehicle procedures......

Private car owners have learned well, and many people will modify the odometer when selling a car, which doesn't cost much, but the price of the vehicle can sell a lot more.

When Xing Yu first modified the odometer, it was still a mechanical odometer, and it was very complicated at that time, and it was necessary to remove the entire instrument and adjust it little by little with a toothpick.

Later, there was an electronic odometer, and it was also necessary to remove the module and connect it to the computer to crack it.

At this time, judging the mileage of the vehicle, you can also find some traces from some details of the instrument.

Now, you only need to plug the decoder into the vehicle OBD, and you can directly modify the odometer.

Car dealers have to judge from many aspects such as brake discs, wear and tear to ensure the true mileage of the vehicle.

Private car sales to change these, there is no big impact, the average small car dealer, no showroom will not care. But whoever carries out the hall by himself will have a bitter hatred for these vehicles.

I accidentally took back a car that changed the odometer and was found by the customer, then it was fun, and the customer didn't care about the other vehicles in your store, in his consciousness, you are a black shop, all your cars are metered, and all your cars are problematic.

Not only do I think so, but I will also post my car purchase experience on various social platforms, and there is no shortage of onlookers who don't know what they really think, and there is no shortage of various Internet trolls, regardless of the cause, process, and result. Just open your mouth and scold.

When some people choose a car in the store, everything is fine before, and then they check it on the Internet and say goodbye directly, which is the reason.

The formalities are even more important, before Qiu Pengfei received a Mercedes-Benz G350, thinking that it was a company account and a luxury car, and the transfer fee was too high, so he wanted to wait for a one-time handle when there were customers.

As a result, when the car was sold, it was found that the file had been locked, and after asking for a circle, I learned that the company had closed down, and all the assets had been frozen by the court.

The property right is in the company, so I will directly seize it without discussion. There is a 108,000-mile difference between the price of the seized car and the vehicle with ordinary procedures, and it will not be possible to pass the household, and it will be a big problem to inspect it in the future, and the relevant departments will forcibly seize it......

This car can lose half a year's income of Qiu Pengfei, and Qiu Pengfei, who has no choice but to go to court, but the company has already been empty, and all kinds of investors are guarding where every day, you have lost hundreds of thousands, and others have lost millions......

Since this incident, no matter how expensive the car dealer is, the first step is to check that the vehicle does not involve theft, seizure, or mortgage...... After that, the second step is definitely the transfer.

There will still be problems with bus procedures, and if you are unlucky to catch up with a few units to change their names and merge, the previous organization code certificate will lose its effect, and there will still be many problems when transferring ownership......

It took a few days to delete the desired vehicle in the information, and now the first step of the Long March has been taken, and we have to go to the scene to see the condition of the car, and we have to get the final auction result in this auction with more than 100,000 people......

Xing Yu originally thought that a company like Taotaole would not be bored, but after looking at a Tule, he found that there was a plug under the fuse, which was artificially disassembled......

"Brother Xue, you see what this person did, it's too unprofessional, just pull out the plug, I'll plug it in later, you try the car." If it's okay, I'll bring duct tape, I'll wrap it around him later, so that others can't see it, and it's still ......a problem," Xing Yu said to Xue Haidong, who was inspecting the rest of the vehicle, lying in the cabin.

In this auction, Xing Yu mainly wanted the vehicles, and there were more than a dozen of them in the end, except for a Satana Touring Edition, the rest were off-road vehicles, and this Patrol was the focus of inspection.

found that this auction was also boring, Xue Haidong and Xing Yu had to go and carefully inspect the vehicles they had given up before, and sure enough, they found the cats on the two cars......

When the auction began, Xing Yu sat down in front of the computer for the first time, put a price on all the models he valued, and waited to see how others bid.

All lots in this auction will be listed online for two hours, and when the time is up, the highest bid will be the price that has been sold.

There are many people who are waiting for the moment when the final end is over, adding an extra 200 yuan to the vehicle they fancie, which is the minimum price increase range set by the platform.

Seeing that the starting price of some cars changed from a few hundred yuan to tens of thousands of yuan in the blink of an eye, Xing Yu did not forget to joke with Xue Guodong who was sitting on the side: "I don't know how many people who don't understand the market this time, they all think that they can take advantage of it, and I will take screenshots of the transaction price for a while, such a price, it will be easier for us to sell cars in the future." ”

Xue Guodong was also happy: "Who said no, too many people only see the auction publicity, and they think they have taken a big advantage, but in fact, it ......"

There are a lot of negative news about the auction on the Internet, many people suspect the black box operation, before the more famous is an auction of an old Audi A6, there is a major accident, the engine still needs to be repaired, the auction has a price of more than 20,000, those who know know that this car 20,000 is already very high.

But I don't know how it was transmitted, but the outside information said: A brand-new Audi A6L was only sold for 20,000 yuan, and there were corrupt officials, corrupt officials, resulting in the loss of state-owned assets and property...... There was a lot of scolding for a while.
