Volume 1 Chapter Seventy-Three: Resign and Go Traveling
The resignation report was approved three or four times, and when he went home to tell Wei Xiao the news, Wei Xiao was so angry that he almost cried, how can he say that the wind is rain, there is no preparation at all, and there are no dividends at the end of the year?
"It's wrong for me to resign, how can I have the face to ask for dividends, it's my old brother who has taken care of me for many years, and my resignation will delay other people's affairs. Xing Yu explained.
"So what are you going to do? Do you really drive a car dealership? Then you're not going to sell cars. Wei Xiao was still unwilling.
"It's not a car dealership, it's a car integrated service company. Let's go travel first, and when I come back, I'll prepare, write a plan or something, and I'm sure there will be a lot of people who will invest in me. When the time comes, you will be the chairman's wife. "Xing Yu has long wanted to find a chance to go out and have fun, although he has been running around the West over the years, he has to change places after staying in the field for two or three days, and there is still a lot of work to be done every day, the world is so big, I also want to go and see.
"Look at my brother, after graduation, he went to Phoenix once and found true love, and now they are all married, let's go to change lines, Sichuan-Chongqing-Hunan-Hubei. Jiuzhaigou - Chaotianmen - Phoenix - Zhangjiajie - Wudang Mountain, you can walk around. During the Chinese New Year, we drove back to the frontier, and in the past few months, we have also experienced life on the road, on the life on the way. You can also take a lot of beautiful photos along the way, which I will use for other purposes in the future. Xing Yu continued to explain.
"Still on the life on the way, are you itching in your heart and want to find some kind of encounter? "Where women care, they are never on the same channel as men. Xing Yu said so much, it is estimated that Wei Xiao heard that a younger brother had found a daughter-in-law in Phoenix.
Some inconsequential disputes between the little couple are not a big deal, they are nothing more than a little spice of love life.
Tourism is not a kind of spice of life, reading thousands of books, it is better to walk thousands of miles. The outside world is very exciting, the time outside is very wide, Xing Yu is a person with no great ambitions, when he was a child, he was fascinated by the superb cornering skills of the 555 Fuji team, seduced by Xu Xiake's prose travelogue, and moved by the deeds of several local motorcyclists who traveled to China by car, Xing Yu has always had a restless heart.
If you ask him to work overtime until midnight, he may find it too hard. You keep him busy for months, and he may feel so tired. But if you tell him, you go to play, go to the great rivers and mountains in China, from preparing equipment, maintaining vehicles, to route planning, he may not sleep for days and nights, just to have fun at one time.
The preparation is very simple, take out the previous equipment to bask in the sun, remove the musty smell left over the years, buy some necessary supplies for travel, first-aid medicine, fast food, and more time left to repair the vehicle, going out, especially this kind of long-distance road trip, the vehicle is the legs of action, and losing the legs means losing the ability to move.
Routine maintenance, three oil and three filters, is essential, all kinds of wearing parts inspection and replacement is also a must, going out is not to say ready to finish, but also to anticipate all the problems that occur on the road, to be prepared is the best policy.
This BMW 330, which has been driving in his hands for several years, has already passed the insurance period for second-hand car sales, and Xing Yu wanted to sell him several times and change to a more common vehicle, but it was not reached because of the price.
BMW 330 is a niche car after all, although there are many BMW three series, but the in-line six-cylinder is rare, the niche car is not an ordinary person's toy from beginning to end, the accessories are scarce, the commonly used wearing parts can not be bought locally, you must find a special dealer, and the price is extremely expensive.
The quality reputation of niche cars may be quite good, but when it comes to maintenance, some seemingly inconspicuous small problems can be difficult for a group of maintenance personnel.
The necessary three filters have to be prepared in two copies, Xing Yu didn't want to encounter the embarrassment of not being able to repair and other accessories on the road, and he had seen a Chevrolet donkey when he was still in Manni Modified Club.
Chevrolet big donkey is the domestic name for the Chevrolet Trailblazer, V6.4.3 version is called big donkey, according to the displacement is different, there is also the name of the donkey and the small donkey. 2.3 tons of vehicle weight, V6 engine, 4.3 displacement, Hummer the same high-load four-speed automatic transmission, low-speed gears include 3, 2, 1 gears optional, electronic four-wheel drive control, but including the difference between high-speed four-wheel drive and low-speed four-wheel drive, the chassis is an integral trapezoidal girder, non-load-bearing body.
Many years ago, this is also an off-road people yearning for the vehicle, someone drove this car to take the 317 national highway, halfway broken, the country began to look for accessories, contacted countless friends to buy in a corner, and so on in the installation of accessories has been more than a month later.
There are too many emergencies when you go out, no one dares to guarantee that everything will go well, and it is very convenient to see more models on the road to repair, you can find a repair shop at random There must be parts for Volkswagen, Toyota, and Mitsubishi, but it is difficult to have these niche cars.
Everything was ready, and he set off with Wei Xiao and the Samoyed he raised, originally Xing Yu was also going to report a fake case and said that the license plate was lost and he was playing with a zero license, but then he thought that he was relaxing this time, and he didn't plan to run too far every day, and when he saw that the scenery was good, he would rest there.
The happiest thing about traveling is the first three days, and then the freshness passes, and the driving is tired, and people feel tired.
Sichuan and Chongqing are the places where Xing Yu was most willing to come to collect cars in the past, people here pursue comfort, the speed of changing cars is very fast, and there are many car sources, and it is a little higher than the capital in terms of cost performance.
The markets here have also been relocated and integrated, the red pai building and five stones in Chengdu have been moved to Shuangliu Hongmeng, the Bai family has gone, and the eight kilometers of Chongqing have also been moved to Nanpeng.
Contacting friends who used to make cars, everyone is miserable about the current business: "We have now become part-time workers for financial companies, and we have paid interest on the money we earn." E-commerce has also been squeezing us, and it is not easy to collect cars and sell cars. ”
One said this, two said this, three or four still said this, Wei Xiao pulled Xing Yu many times in the dead of night and began to talk about ideals, ambitions, and life.
"Fat brother, you see that so many people don't want to drive now, why do you want to wade into this troubled water?"
"It's hard for them to do because they haven't found a new model yet. You have to have faith in me, we are different. Xing Yu is still full of confidence in his plan, and his successful experience over the years has made him very inflated, and he is unswervingly committed to implementing his ideas.
"Fat brother, haven't many companies called you recently? Otherwise, you will go to work again. You're so much better than the guys on TV, and I think they can't find a good job once they're fired. "Holding her husband, Wei Xiao doesn't have any pressure.
"It's all about deception on TV, experience, connections, technology. Big companies don't want you, and small companies will hire you with a high salary, unless you have a bad reputation in this circle, otherwise you can't find a suitable one. Daughter-in-law, you believe me, what I am going to do will definitely be very profitable. Seeing Wei Xiao worshipping himself so much, Xing Yu was very complacent.
"When we have money, we will buy a trolley, and my brother will take it to travel around the world......"
Along the way, the scenery and historical sites along the way, and the cultural landscapes were feasted for the eyes, but Xing Yu began to cherish his Jeep car.
In particular, there is a section of two high-speed exchange provincial highways from Phoenix to Zhangjiajie, not to mention the mountain road, the plain road is still undulating, and deep pits are everywhere. This section of more than ten kilometers of road is hard to walk for almost an hour, many places can only be obliquely past, the chassis of BMW 330 is too low, can not cope with these scenes, there is a service area before the highway, Xing Yu found that everyone is the same as himself, stop to check, if the chassis is worn out, it is too dangerous to run high speed behind.
After confirming that there was no oil leakage or damage, and when he continued on the road, Xing Yu asked, "Daughter-in-law, let's change the off-road vehicle." This car trip, it's still not fun, and there are many places that can't go. ”
"I like this kind of low car, how beautiful it is. "The little girl always thinks that a low cover is ugly, and because such a low vehicle is a luxury car.
"With an off-road vehicle, it's so comfortable to go to places that others can't go and see scenery that others can't see. Xing Yu began to explain again.
Fortunately, the whole journey is high-speed in the back, and there is no such bad road, so Xing Yu won't say anything.
After going out to play for more than a month, I went back to Xi'an, and now I received a call from these headhunters, Xing Yu will go to see, such a new company, new business, although I didn't want to go to work, but I got in touch with it, it is also very helpful for starting my own business, all products have their own shining points, and I can't find two identical leaves in the world, and I can't find two identical products.
Only by looking more, understanding more, and being familiar with the advantages and disadvantages of each product can we create a better one.
Of course, in addition to going to various companies to understand the situation, Xing Yu still sold the BMW 330 that had been with him for many years. If you want to go home for the New Year, the BMW 330 is a rear-wheel drive car, and the winter on the frontier side is too untimely.
According to the former frontier car dealers: "BMW, Mercedes-Benz, it's okay in summer, but in winter, the front wheel doesn't turn, the back wheel turns, when it snow......s?" Syllable...... How do you swing from side to side?"
The biggest difference between front-wheel drive and rear-wheel drive is the way the engine drives the vehicle, the front-wheel drive vehicle is driven by the front wheels, and the power of the engine is directly output on the two front wheels. The rear-wheel drive vehicle is driven by the rear wheels, and the power of the engine is output to the rear wheels by a transmission shaft, and the driving tasks are completed by the rear wheels.
The disadvantage of front-wheel drive is that because the main components such as the engine and drive system are concentrated in the front of the vehicle, the rear of the vehicle has a lighter counterweight, and the rear wheels can easily lose grip and have poor handling. In addition, the front-wheel drive car also has the problem of understeer, and the front axle is both a steering axle and a drive axle, the structure and process are complex, the manufacturing cost is high, and the maintenance is difficult.
The shortcomings of the rear drive are also more obvious, the engine power rotates from the transmission shaft to the rear axle to drive the rear wheel, the action distance is relatively long, and it is bound to lose part of the power, and because the powertrain such as the transmission shaft and the rear axle will occupy more interior space, it will cause problems such as the middle floor of the car is protruding.
On wet and icy roads, front-wheel drive vehicles have a control advantage over rear-wheel drive vehicles. Front-wheel drive cars have an advantage over rear-wheel drive cars because even if they are skidding, front-wheel drive cars can't get up, and there is no social harm. But the rear-wheel drive car will sway left and right as soon as it is refueled, and if he slips and flicks his tail, no other vehicles can appear within a radius of 5 meters, and he will not be able to go on the road at all. Therefore, the front-wheel drive driver can still fight hard, and the rear-wheel drive driver is not very daring to fight.
Because of the problem of front and rear drive, Xing Yu also argued with many friends in the frontier, and the most favorable evidence is that the rear drive is not good, why do you still rush to ask for Toyota's six-cylinder Ruizhi and Crown.
The answer was, "That's a bull's head, can it be the same?"
Well, Toyota's position in the hearts of many people in the frontier is sacrosanct.
In the end, Xing Yu still bought a Middle Eastern version of the Mitsubishi Pajero V75, since the front and rear drive are so controversial in the frontier winter, then I will directly open the four-wheel drive, you have no other opinions.
