Volume 1 Chapter 70: The Legacy of Used Cars
It's been two months since I got to Yixin, and the first month was busy learning and developing the market, and the salary was only a little bit of basic salary. In the second half of the second month, the performance began to improve by leaps and bounds, and when the salary was paid, Xing Yu looked at the text message, and how could he not earn as much as he did when he was reversing before.
"Daughter-in-law, I've paid my salary, please eat something delicious in the evening. Xing Yu is not particularly satisfied with the salary income, although there are more than 20,000 yuan, but this is still less than second-hand cars, and there is this profit from selling a platform car to his hometown.
"Fat brother, you're not happy. While eating, Wei Xiao saw that Xing Yu's face was not good, and couldn't help asking.
Xing Yu replied: "Didn't I show you my salary? I don't feel as much as I used to make by selling cars." ”
"It's different, at that time, you ran all over the country, going south and north, the same as mixing rivers and lakes, and now this job is at least in Xi'an, although you are busy very late, but I can see you every day." Wei Xiao hurriedly comforted.
"But we have to open the five northwestern provinces later, and I still have to run around when the time comes. "For wages, Xing Yu is still a little rooted, the investment is not proportional, and no one is happy.
"When my fat brother sits in that position, the salary will definitely be much higher, in order to encourage you, let's buy a bag and skin care lotion later." Wei Xiao continued.
"Buying you something?Is that encouraging me?Is it encouraging you?" Xing Yu was amused by Wei Xiao and couldn't laugh.
"I'm beautiful, it's the best encouragement for you, I used to buy things online, and I was very bad, but now you're going to be the director of the five provinces, do you want to make your girlfriend more beautiful?"
"Fat brother, have you forgotten the pain that Xu Jinyang brought to you? Making a second-hand car is really not as safe and stable as it is now. Wei Xiao saw that Xing Yu was still struggling, and couldn't help but ask this question.
This Xu Jinyang was met at a car club when Xing Yugang and Wei Xiao met, claiming to be a child of the oil company, with a little spare money, and always looking for projects.
Knowing that Xing Yu was making second-hand cars, he had been approaching, showing that he wanted to join Xing Yu in the second-hand car business.
As mentioned earlier, second-hand cars are an industry with a very low threshold, you can do it if you have spare money, it is nothing more than a matter of making more money and making less, even if you receive an accident car, as long as you have a way, you can sell it.
Xu Jinyang behaved very generously at first, "If you don't have enough money to collect the car in the future, you just tell me, I'll give you money, you sell it and give me a little bit." ”
The second-hand car industry has a great demand for funds, otherwise there would not be so many people working together, Xing Yu has experienced the dilemma of having a few cars in the store and no money in his pocket for a bag of Yuxi.
When he was dozing off and touched a pillow here, Xing Yu remembered Xu Jinyang, and he cooperated with two or three cars later, all of which were profitable. Until I got the 3.8 Red Wrangler......
After cooperating a few times, Xu Jinyang often began to look at the car outside, and returned it to Xing Yu for consignment, such a situation is also very common in the market, carefully checked a few cars received by Xu Jinyang, and found that the car condition is good, there is no big problem, as for the defects, there are still some, and it is too difficult to receive a second-hand car in the condition of a high-quality car.
That night, Xu Jinyang hurriedly found Xing Yu, drove a big red old Wrangler Rubicon, and said straight to the point: "I have something at home, I keep this car for play, you see, can you give me some, I want to go back once." ”
As mentioned earlier, it is difficult to find the problem of the vehicle at night when the light line is not good. Thinking that Xu Jinyang was okay to look at the car a few times before, and now he invested more than 20,000 yuan in a car, Xing Yu didn't think much about it, and took a cursory look.
Wrangler has four models, the Rubicon's two-door four-door, the Sahara's two-door four-door, the biggest difference between the Rubicon and the Sahara is that there are two more differential locks.
The first part confirmed the configuration, Xing Yu also deliberately tried the four-wheel drive speed lock, looking at the indicator light everything is normal, and he didn't pay too much attention to it, this is his friend, Xing Yu has a problem, he has a surprising trust in his own people, and he will not pit himself if he thinks he has a good relationship.
Xu Jinyang was short of 270,000 yuan, and Xing Yu went bankrupt and lent it to him, and the price of this Rubicon was a little higher according to the market price. Xing Yu didn't feel that he was losing no matter how much he thought about it.
It was a bank transfer, a cash count, and a check procedure, and the two of them were busy for a long time, and it was dark, so they drank a big drink together and went home.
When he woke up in the morning, Xing Yu felt that he wanted to renovate the vehicle, these people who had just entered the industry didn't know how to prepare the vehicle, the whole car just looked clean, but in fact, there were still many omissions in the corners and corners, and it was not clean.
"Let's go, Xiaoxiao, brother will take you to the mountains for a crazy lap, didn't you say that brother hasn't shown his competition skills? "Wrangler to hand, a person who loves off-road how can not experience the performance? This experience process is also able to find vehicle problems, find problems to solve problems, this maintenance difference is also a place to make money for second-hand cars, ordinary car owners have one or two friends who repair cars, the price is not necessarily appropriate, these car dealers deal with repair masters every day, many car dealers themselves have good repair technology, and there is no shortage of channels to buy accessories, or that sentence, second-hand cars are to earn money with information asymmetry.
Whether it is the asymmetry of information from the source of vehicles, the asymmetry of maintenance and maintenance resources, and the asymmetry of transfer procedures. Xing Yu, as a master who has been gagging in the market for so long and is known as a brother from all over the world, naturally understood some of the money-making channels earlier.
Pull up Wei Xiao, the engine sound power listened to it, or satisfied, that is, after the speed is a little faster, there is a little abnormal sound in the chassis, this is not a common problem of the Wrangler, but the Wrangler bought back most of the owners will go to the elevation modification, in the transfer of ownership must be restored to the original state of the car, this dismantling and unloading, encountering a careless repairman here is less than a gasket, where the screw is not fixed enough, will cause such a result.
Xing Yu had encountered such a problem many times when he was in the Manni modification factory, so he didn't take it to heart, and he would find a familiar repair shop for a while, get up and check the chassis, fix the screws, and it would be nothing.
All the way to the high speed, the old 3.8 Wrangler's cruise cruise is still a small pole behind the steering wheel, to press it, in the dial up or down to have a role, every time I try this, I feel a little bit of a sense of password, Xing Yu tried a few times and didn't try out, so he gave up temporarily.
Xi'an Ring Expressway to the south, along the G5 highway all the way to drive about 60 kilometers, at the Zhuque and Hucai Road exit, slightly turn right onto the ramp and continue to walk back to the Zhuque Forest Park, which is already deep in the Qinling Mountains. All kinds of towering trees, green grass, and crystal clear streams.
It costs money to enter the park, not to mention that the car can't go too far and you don't let yourself drive, and you have to do your own ferry car in the scenic spot.
As a qualified off-road person, Xing Yu naturally wants to find some places where ordinary vehicles are not easy to pass, take the road that others can't walk, and see the scenery that others can't see is the pursuit of off-road people.
Passing by from the gate of the park, continue along the provincial highway to the direction of Guangxiang Street, there is a trench to the dirt road of Longtan, which is very suitable for light off-road self-driving, and the four-wheel drive vehicle with a higher chassis can go smoothly, here the mountains are high and dense, the ancient trees are towering, the flowing water is murmuring, the river is meandering, and it belongs to the natural landscape that has not been fully developed.
There was a steep slope on the gravel road along the way, Xing Yu stopped the car and hung up the four-wheel drive to prepare to rush the slope, "Fasten your seat belt, brother will take you to experience the fun of taking off." As soon as he said this to Wei Xiao, he kicked the accelerator, and the speed of the vehicle increased sharply, and it began to skid and the power attenuated.
Stepping on the brakes, engaging in neutral, and pulling down the low-speed four-wheel drive was Xing Yu's first reaction action. Why is the 3.8 Wrangler so weak? A small steep slope can't even go up? Or is there water on the gravel road, it's too wet and slippery?
Keep pressing the accelerator, but the car keeps skidding. "Xiaoxiao, you go down and help me see if the front wheels are moving, stand a little farther away, and be careful that the gravel flies up. Xing Yu judged that there were some problems based on his own experience, but he didn't dare to confirm it, and commanded Wei Xiao to help take a look.
"Fat brother, just see the rear wheel turning, but the front wheel doesn't turn. Wei Xiao looked at the side and shouted.
Xing Yu lowered his head to check, and the four-wheel drive gear went out of 4L mode, and the instrument indicator was also on. Could it be that the Rubicon is different from the Sahara 4WD and must open the differential lock?
Press the differential lock switch to confirm that the indicator light is on, continue to press the accelerator, and the vehicle is still in a skidding state.
"Take a look at me, I'll go down first. "The vehicle loses power halfway up a steep slope and has to fall in a straight line, which is extremely dangerous to change direction and easily roll over.
Hung into reverse gear, and under Wei Xiao's command, he came down little by little. Get out of the car and check, there is no problem with the front and rear drive shafts, and confirm the gear is correct again.
Left foot brake, right foot throttle. When the speed is pulled up, the brake is released, and the automatic transmission car starts to burn tires perfectly.
Got out of the car and looked at the road, only the traces left by the skidding of the rear wheels, but the front wheels could not be seen, why didn't the Wrangler have four-wheel drive?
This operation is tried and tested for the four-wheel drive inspection of the vehicle, why is it not effective for the Wrangler?
Drill under the vehicle and carefully check the gear mechanism, fortunately, it is a Wrangler, if the car with a lower chassis Xing Yu is really not good to get into.
As soon as the strong flashlight shone on the chassis condition, Xing Yu suddenly chuckled in his heart, the chassis was rusty, and there was a lot of gravel and fine sand.
Xing Yu was silent, got up and continued to check, the factory date of the seat belt was correct, but after opening it, it was found that there were water marks at the bottom, fine gravel at the bottom of the sponge at the bottom of the seat, and rust and sediment were found inside the instrument panel to continue to check......
"Xu Jinyang of CNM, this is a soaking truck. Xing Yu couldn't help but scold directly with the anger in his heart.
"What's wrong, husband, have you found something wrong again, there is no farmhouse in this place. Every time she sees Xing Yu getting angry, Wei Xiao will not call her fat brother, but her husband directly.
As for what I said later, when Xing Yu first pursued Wei Xiao, he often drove Wei Xiao to a farther farmhouse to play, and while he was eating, he secretly stuffed a little transparent tape in the steel wire or something, causing the vehicle to lack a cylinder, and it shook non-stop when it started, and then pretended to be angry where to curse the repairman, and waited for a day of sleep in the farmhouse, took out the transparent tape early, and the vehicle returned to normal, and the happy person could go back smoothly.
It's different now, under the same roof as Wei Xiaotian, Xing Yu doesn't need to perform anything with clumsy acting skills, this time he is really angry, he has been doing cars for so many years, and he has big eyes, and receiving a soaking car is no different from receiving a big accident car, Xing Yu is really angry again this time.
