Volume 1 Chapter 130: Midnight Talk
"It's a pity for Xiaogang's kid, did you and Ma Jie help you again?" Wei Xiao also remembered some things before after listening to Xing Yu's story.
"Well, isn't Ma Jie going to get a car dealership too?" Xiao Gang came to help sell the car for a few days, but that kid couldn't take it back, so he made a little money and went to play something else...... Xing Yu said hatefully.
"Then what exactly is the change from low to high?" Wei Xiao didn't want to think of Gangzi anymore, and wanted to chat with Xing Yu more, so he raised his new question.
"Why are you so curious today? In the past, you didn't care much about the car dealership except for buying, buying, buying. Xing Yu scratched his head and asked.
"Who just buys and buys, it's not that you come back from a busy day and fall asleep, sometimes you don't eat, you ignore me, okay?" Wei Xiao angrily pinched Xing Yu's waist again.
"Well, didn't I want to keep you out of touch with these things, or else my glorious image in your heart would be too bad. Xing Yu accepted Wei Xiao's waist pinch with a smile, this time Wei Xiao didn't make any effort, Xing Yu couldn't help but squint his eyes, and put his hands on Wei Xiao's waist, wanting to continue the next move.
"Don't make a fuss, the doctor said, you can't mess around for a month, you can tell me about those things in the new car." Wei Xiao pushed away Xing Yu's hand that was touching up and down, changed into a comfortable position in his arms, and continued to ask.
"Actually, it's nothing, you remember that Ma 30,000 is not ?......"
Ma Sanwan is a beauty, of course Wei Xiao remembers that all the female friends Wei Xiao has seen by Xing Yu's side know everything about it.
Ma Sanwan is a nickname, what is the specific name, Xing Yu has forgotten, this is still given by Wei Xiong.
Ma Sanwan does the business of auto decoration accessories, every time he buys, he wants to make a big order, and he can't look down on small transactions, at least 30,000 yuan for purchases, so he fell into the nickname of Ma 30,000.
Not to mention a comprehensive exhibition hall like Xing Yu, an auto trade store, and some large professional 4S stores will also buy goods from Ma Sanwan.
Car wash liquid, water wax, car wash shampoo, pre-wash liquid, soil relaxant, neutral car wash liquid, professional point are, insect corpse bird feces remover, asphalt remover, car paint iron powder remover, paint grease degreaser and so on.
And that's just the "wax" piece.
There are also glass water, window glass cleaner, oil film remover, glass anti-fogging agent, glass abrasive powder, glass abrasive, glass gum remover and other car window cleaning and maintenance products.
It also includes the refurbishment of the more profitable explosion-proof films, instrument panels, headliners, carpets, floor mats, seats, seat covers, and door upholstery.
Anti-theft device, reversing sensor, central control screen, car TV, multi-function steering wheel...... These are also items that car sales outlets often purchase back to make money.
For example, Toyota's Highlander, the 2013 model, only the Zijin 5-seater, 7-seater, and exploration version announced on the Internet. But it is also common to see a 5-seater version in 4S stores, with a sunroof, automatic air conditioning, multi-function display, and a 360-degree camera...... etc., some better names will be taken, so that customers can choose when they are in a fog, and they can't understand the configuration price for a while.
People who know a little about cars, sales will tell you, Highlander sells well, if you don't choose these configurations, we won't sell them, you have to sincerely want it, I'll give you a little more discount, we don't have a price increase.
If you don't understand the car, you spent the money of the original high configuration, and bought the car dealership to change the high configuration, and there are one or two important configurations less than the original high configuration, do you say that you are uncomfortable?
"It's uncomfortable, you profiteers, wouldn't ordinary people be cheated when they go to buy a car?" Wei Xiao really pinched Xing Yu's waist this time.
"Well, now some best-selling models, the profit is only a few hundred yuan, without some additional consumption, the store can't be opened. After all, we have to eat, too. Xing Yu finally dodged Wei Xiao's hand and continued.
OEMs, upstream wholesalers, also need to make money, you don't want to get the model you want just because you have money.
Many channels into the car will force you to be bundled, if you want a few best-selling models, you have to match one or two non-best-selling models.
You can choose not to buy these models that don't sell well, and as a result, the price of the best-selling models will increase......
When you encounter some models with strange configurations, if you don't add some highlight configurations, how can you sell them?
A large local store has sold its own automatic transmission model with a sunroof.
These more than 200,000 models, automatic transmission without sunroof, too few people want, there is time to squeeze more than a year can not be sold.
It's good to change the sunroof yourself, but there are already a lot of problems. Although these model manufacturers have reserved the sunroof position, it will not damage the structure of the car body and cause potential safety hazards, but the water leakage problem is not easy to solve, even the original sunroof will leak, but the original sunroof has an extra groove under the inner ring of the water, and the leakage flows down from the A-pillar through the waterway under the groove.
It is too difficult to install a waterway in a skylight that you change yourself, so water leaks are common.
This is also why Xing Yu said before that he had added a lot of things, but he had not changed the skylight, which was not a lack of morality.
"So you said that there is no danger in the modification of a beggar among beggars?" Wei Xiao continued to ask.
"That's right, there are already a lot of Prado models, and the Middle East version of the 2700 alone will be sealed, the Oman version, the Kuwait version, and the Dubai version. What else is TXL, VX, GXR, etc., as well as the difference between diesel and gasoline, and the difference between six cylinders and four cylinders...... In addition, foreign customers prefer private customized vehicles, and some of the original configurations will appear in the port with a single configuration, and there are more configurations that they come back to change, but these modifications can only be regarded as original factory upgrades, and will not cause changes in the car body, so it is relatively safe. Xing Yu couldn't help but complain when he talked about this topic.
Sometimes when you get in the car and come back, you will be forced to match it upstream, giving some versions such as Lebanon, Egypt, Iran, Iraq, Israel, Saudi Arabia, Syria, the United Arab Emirates and Yemen, etc., so that Xing Yu can't guard against it, and the configuration of some cars is even just a difference between the chrome edge strips of the door frame or the body latte art, and it is too difficult to distinguish them.
However, everything is the same, the engine and gearbox are the same, as for the different configurations, the Prado series modification space is too large, except for the sunroof technology is not very perfect. Other items: hernia LED lights, fog lights, luggage racks, foot pedals, power seats, seat heating and ventilation, one-button start, smart cards, 400-meter remote start, leather, navigation, front and rear surrounding, etc.
At one point, there was also an interior with airbag logos, and some low-spec 2-airbag versions have been replaced......
There are also some luxury cars, such as the Porsche mentioned before, Maserati is forced to choose from 50,000, 100,000, and 200,000 is supported by the main engine factory.
"By the way, you said version 3.5, is it the one that had an accident a few days ago?" Wei Xiao suddenly thought of the constant trouble in front of him after listening to it.
"Eh, don't mention that car, the Toyota series has always been the best sold in our store, the most guaranteed quality, the least various after-sales problems, only this 3.5 version, a large number of engine weakness, the most exaggerated can't even be driven from the underground garage......" Speaking of this, Xing Yu was even more sad, this car really hasn't changed anything, it's just that the problems in the later stage are constant.
"Sometimes buying a car depends on fate, and if you are unlucky, a best-selling model with guaranteed quality will also have all kinds of small problems. If you're lucky, you'll be fine if you buy a model with a lot of birth problems in your mother's family......" Xing Yu couldn't help but sigh, the 3.5 Prado, it has been repaired several times, and I have found a lot of repairmen to see, and I have changed the three-way catalysis, the intake pressure, and the oxygen ...... and so on, there will still be problems, after a few times, Xing Yu has experience, and every time there is a problem, he directly brings a few sensors to solve it.
The ultimate solution given by Hong Yeshan is to replace the entire bus line, which is beyond Xing Yu's imagination in terms of cost and complexity.
"Then how do you end up thinking about solving it?" Wei Xiao asked.
"Lose money to deal with it, saying that the owner of the car will add some money to change a 4.0 version. Xing Yu said helplessly.
"Ah, do you want to lose money, is there no other solution?" Wei Xiao felt a little distressed when he heard that he had lost money.
"There is no car that cannot be sold, only a price that cannot be sold. Selling at a loss is the best result, do you want me to cheat the insurance?"
"What is this?" Wei Xiao's curiosity was aroused again.
"You're really a curious baby today, you want to know everything. ”
"Because you don't usually want to talk to me more, I actually like you to talk. Wei Xiao said coquettishly.
"Fraud, in fact, it's very simple, you see our car shop maintenance workshop, those damaged front and rear bars, encirclement and the like don't take a long time to clean up? That's not that we are too lazy to deal with it, but someone will go to the factory to recycle, and some don't even use the price of scrap to recycle. Xing Yu opened his mouth to explain.
As for why others will accept these accessories, in fact, everyone already knows it, receive these broken parts, go back to change to other cars, and then find a road tooth, trash can or something, put the car tightly on it, and then call a professional person to assess the damage.
When you lose money over there, you can replace the original good accessories, and you can earn back the money for a car......
There are even more ruthless, some accident cars, the problem car disguised as forgetting to pull the handbrake, sliding down the hillside, can be directly compensated, the price of compensation has already exceeded the price of the vehicle itself.
Xing Yu has also seen a ruthless man, who took his life to Bo, the accident scene was made, the brake marks were nothing, and he still made himself bloody, and when the claims adjuster came over, he could still talk and laugh, deal with the accident, and then go for treatment......
"Forget it, it's still a matter of having a son without a butt, is there such a thing now?" Wei Xiao heard that someone had injured himself to make money, and he looked disgusted, and he would not agree with Xing Yu to do this kind of thing.
"Now, I can't say no, I can only say that there is much less, after all, we are now collecting car costs are also increasing, now some cars have to check the insurance records, some car maintenance records are perfect, but the insurance situation is miserable, is the reason for cheating and insurance. ”
