Volume 1 Chapter 34: The Car Auction
Returning to the company, Xing Yu was also angry, and really wanted to do it, the company had a relatively complete staff today, and he wanted to hold a meeting to talk about the new centralized auction.
Everyone saw that Xing Yu's face was wrong, and they also persuaded one after another to ask the reason, this is too normal. Those car buying information on the Internet wrote that the dealers do not disturb. 80% of them are problematic vehicles to deceive Xiaobai, and people who know a little bit can find a lot of problems in the past, so don't disturb the dealers who wrote it.
This kind of deception is not uncommon, and it is not uncommon to be embarrassed and angry, just look at it and know that the auction will not come if it can be sold for a high price. What is the situation of your own vehicle, can you run out of electricity in your heart?
And when you go to some office buildings or high-end communities, you have to drive a slightly better car. Didn't you see that Zhang Liqiang and Zhang Junping usually go to a 4S store to open an A4, Accord Camry or something?
It's a matter of face, and it's a reason to prove your strength. Shaanxi dialect, this is called explosive potential, people are not powerful, and losers do not lose the battle.
Xing Yu had no choice but to take a glass of water and sit next to him to listen to the company's meeting arrangements. There are always one or two auctions a month, and I have long been accustomed to various arrangements.
If some insiders want to keep the car at a low price, pull out two steel wires and stuff them with transparent tape to make the vehicle lack cylinders and shake, or directly break the fire wire, so that the car can't catch fire, change a set of broken front and rear bars from the repair shop, and even paint the contact surface of the fender and the computer version with 502...... These are those who deliberately make problems for other buyers in order to keep the unit car for themselves, and buy it at a low price, and there are also cars that they don't want to sell, and they are forced to sell it by the above, and deliberately bid a high price to cause no one to bid for the bid.
It belongs to the unspoken rules of the industry, and the auctioneer is also skilled, often these cars are not recommended, and they are auctioned quickly. If there is a failed auction, then it is not afraid, anyway, someone will take over.
The auction looks simple, it is a car that is placed there, and people see the bidding together, and whoever bids the highest price is whoever's. In fact, there are undercurrents, there are buyers who jointly rig bids, cut bids, and sellers operate in the dark.
Everyone understands people, and no one should cut off the other's financial routes. If you don't see through it, we're still good friends.
Although each auction is announced in advance on newspapers, websites, and television, it is only a flash or a small page.
Except for those who specialize in second-hand cars, few people pay attention to this news. To put it bluntly, those who come are their own people in the second-hand car circle. There are very few outsiders.
There were forty or fifty people in an auction, most of them were old faces of the market, and most of the new faces were arranged by the heads of the teams of various units.
Towards the end of the meeting, Xing Yu finally spoke, "My Alto will also shoot together, I'll change the car." ”
"Don't, if the company has a car in the future, you can drive it," Zhou Long immediately persuaded.
"Let's shoot, I'm not used to driving other people's cars. I also want to change cars. Xing Yu still insisted on his thoughts.
Ma Jie and Zhang Junping found Xing Yu privately and expressed their willingness to buy a car. But Xing Yu stubbornly wanted to go directly to the auction.
Next, the heavy business will be carried out, except for Zhou Long, who needs to contact the site customers, and the remaining few people will go to see the vehicle and write an evaluation report.
Of course, Zhang Fengyang was caught by Zhou Long, and Zhuangding drove himself. The reputation is that this handsome guy doesn't pull it out to fill the façade, and he is blind.
In fact, the rest of the people know that no one is worried about Zhao Chaoyang's assessment.
"Applejack, (Majay's nickname) get me a clear tape, this car is built-in. Xing Yu said while holding a folder and standing in front of an old Toyota Camry.
Although Ma Jie is also an appraiser, he still admires this little brother who is no more than two years older than himself. I'm also willing to give you a start and learn something new.
Zhang Liqiang used to be a FAW Jiefang 4S store, and was mainly responsible for the trading and auction of some large vehicles. Although the car also understands, it is still a little unconfident.
Zhang Junping didn't like to talk when he looked at the car, and he didn't express his opinion until he finished reading the whole car. He is very slow to learn things, and he has to listen to the introduction and watch it again to understand it thoroughly.
Ajie also followed Xing Yu to evaluate, inspect the vehicle, and make small movements.
Under the scorching sun, more than 30 cars were parked in a large square, which was the branch venue of the auction. At that time, everyone who participates in the auction must come here in the morning to see the car, and then rush to the main auction venue to participate in the auction.
The concrete site under the blazing sun is also reflecting this heat energy. Soon the four of them couldn't stand it anymore, and the closed car door was so stuffy that it was unimaginably hot.
The four of them looked at most of them, and they all found a cool shade to sit and drink a glass of water and smoke a cigarette.
"Xiaoyu, how are you and Wang Lili?" Zhang Junping took advantage of the rest and did not forget to gossip.
"I don't feel it, I also think she doesn't look down on me, after all, I came out of a small place, and my family is like that. You can't let me slam the door upside down. Xing Yu told the truth.
"What's wrong with the inverted door? I'm not also an inverted door. Your sister-in-law is kind to me, although she lives in her house and eats in her house. But the child is still with my last name. Zhang Junping persuaded.
Zhang Junping went to join the army after graduating from junior college, and when he came back from the army, he followed Zhou Long to set up this branch, and then met his current daughter-in-law in the car market, and soon got married.
His daughter-in-law's sister and brother-in-law also reversed in the car market. The daughter-in-law went home to rest and take care of the child when she was pregnant.
"Junping, how many cars did you give your brother-in-law in the dark, didn't Lao Bai ask you for something?" Zhang Liqiang also gaged.
"What are you talking about, how many years have we been in a relationship, am I that kind of person? You look at how much profit Lao Bai withheld with the support of the head office. ”
cough cough cough ...... Zhang Liqiang coughed on the side. Ma Jie and Xing Yu didn't hear it. These are all things on the surface, people are big bosses, what can we say about a part-time worker......
After a busy day, it took me to sort out the evaluation reports of all the vehicles, but in fact, this is also a matter that cannot be helped. There had to be a report posted on the company's website, and few people read it, and the car dealers trusted their eyes more. Only a small number of people who saw the announcements outside read the reports.
There are four people who have their own seals, (senior appraisers have their own exclusive seals), some who have not sealed, and some who have done turnip seals.
This is the distinction, those vehicles are operated internally, those vehicles are auctioned normally, and those vehicles are not intended to be sold for the leadership.
The four dragged their tired bodies home. Waiting for the auction to come soon. Evaluating a vehicle is also a physical task, and it must be extremely careful, and if you don't pay attention, you may miss a big problem and cause losses.
Lie on the ground, stand on the tires, touch the oil, smell the exhaust...... It takes at least half an hour or so for a car to be evaluated, and it is necessary to write a report and make some small actions. Cross-checking is also essential.
It was a rush to evaluate these vehicles in one day.
On Monday, the three of them stayed at the branch venue and waited for people to watch the car, and the rest of the staff had to go to the main venue to help.
Xing Yu: The three young people must let the old guys go. The sun can only be basking on this concrete field. You cannot enjoy the large air conditioning of the main venue.
"In a few years, when I make money, I will definitely buy the company and let them give me a big job" Xing Yu wiped the sweat on his head and said unwillingly.
"Brother, then do you take your younger brother with you?" Zhang Fengyang also quickly interjected.
"As long as you can see it, it must take you. Xing Yu also replied quickly, turned his head and asked Ma Jie, "Ajie, what about you, what are your plans?"
"Niangniang (Baoji dialect interjection), when I learn a little more, I want to go back to Baoji to open my own store and be my own boss. "Ma Jie also has his own ideals.
"With Wang Gang, how did that guy learn?" Xing Yu asked again.
"Eh, don't mention him, now he is arranged by Zhou Long to repair the car every day, which is an errand life. Ma Jie's tone also darkened all of a sudden.
Not long after the three of them communicated, people came to see the car one after another. Now the three of them must take the key and follow the people to the sun.
Mu Junjun and Wang Yong also came together, and when they came, they directly grabbed Xing Yu.
"You've eaten so many times with my sister-in-law, and I've watched a lot of movies. When will I confess to my sister? You can't let my sister confess to you. As soon as Wang Yong came, he counted them together.
Xing Yu snorted, not in a hurry, isn't this slowly cultivating feelings? Then quickly divert the topic, look at the car first, time is tight, and the task is heavy. There are so many cars, just a few hours to look at the car, and you will have to go to the auction to give the price later.
"You tell my brother a few, I'll focus on it. Mu Junjun took out a list that everyone involved in the auction had. A brief introduction to the vehicle is written above, and the specific evaluation list is on the website.
Xing Yu drew several cars with that stroke, some of which were in good condition, and some of which were cheap but in average condition. I can't give the price myself, so I leave it to the two of them to set the price after reading the vehicle. Everyone has their own calculations, and maybe the price they give is higher than their own.
The people who came to see the car to find Xing Yu were basically old people, and there were also a few people who got the news and wanted to pick up the leaks and pick up the cheap ones. It's easy to tell where I didn't say hello to the staff and watched the car by myself. From time to time, those who shout to open a door and get a key are not knowledgeable.
The skill of car evaluation is not something that can be judged by how many years of experience you have in repairing cars or how many years of experience in sheet metal. Everyone who makes a used car has paid tuition fees to a greater or lesser extent.
Eye-punching is the norm, and misjudgment is more normal. Many people resolutely do not accept the car for 10 days before the auto show every year, for fear that the price of the new car will be too ruthless and smashed in their own hands.
There are also some people who have been in this industry for a long time, and they can see at a glance how the car is. Is there an accident, where the performance is not good. There are also people who look at the car directly and say that it feels wrong, the car is not good, and there is indeed a problem after the inspection. This belongs to that kind of metaphysical category.
Wait until noon to eat, around half past 12. Everyone began to disperse, and the auction began after lunch.
"College student, why do you sell Alto too? I didn't pay attention when I looked at the list, and I realized that it was yours when I looked at the car just now. Mu Junjun looked around and came back and asked.
"I don't want to open it, but it's been open for more than half a year, and it's time to change it. It's shameless to drive out. "Xing Yu is also quite helpless, I am a second-hand car, and it is not too normal to change a car. Why do so many people watch it?
"Directly say a price, give it to my brother, and usually let your sister-in-law pick up the baby. Mu Junjun also said.
"It's right to sell it, and my sister has been in this broken car when she was sold. Wang Yong also interjected. Wang Yong belongs to the alternative representative of second-hand cars in Xi'an, and he must drive the best car he receives, and he resolutely does not drive a bad car.
"At the auction, if you have signed a contract with the company, if the auction fails, it will be transferred to you at a low price. Xing Yu could only continue to shirk.
The two chatted for a while and then went to dinner, usually eating together. Now that the auction is underway, the company's personnel do not eat with other people, so as to avoid suspicion, and the impact is not good.
In fact, just for a while, the elderly people often bring their own relatives to see the car in advance. It's just that Xing Yu and the three of them didn't dare to do these things.
