Chapter 140: A New Car Arrives
In this era, buying a private car is a big deal, and for Qi Jingtao, it is not only about the use of private cars. His current status is no longer just an ordinary employee of a state-owned enterprise, he is also the actual majority shareholder of the Central Yunnan Plateau Agricultural Trade Company, and he has to consider business use.
On Saturday, September 7, Qi Jingtao, who had a driver's license, took the opportunity of accompanying Su Min to the Central Yunnan Plateau Agricultural Trade Company to perform his duties as a financial manager and told Shi Lei and Zhang Jinglei about his plan to buy a car.
"Old watch, buy a car when you need to. Your source of income is innocent, so why should you hide your head and tail when you spend your own money? To put it mildly, if you don't show your wealth generously when you don't care about anything now, let others know that you are rich and that you are a rich person in the first place. In a few years, when you really have a certain status in the Nanyan Group, really hold a certain amount of real power, and really have the ability to eat and take cards, you will have to weigh your money again. Shi Lei smoked a cigarette and said to Qi Jingtao with a smile.
"Yes, what are you afraid of, what does it matter to you from the upper echelons of Nanyan? A small programmer, at most go to the production workshop to smoke a few free cigarettes. I don't even have a chance to enter the workshop warehouse to steal cigarette labels, what are you afraid of?" Su Min joked and counted Qi Jingtao, who was looking forward and backward. It turned out that there was nothing without a car license, and now that the driver's license is in hand, I hesitated not to buy a car, and continued to ride an 80 scooter to take her around.
"Yes, my cousin's words make sense. The two of them are dressed beautifully, and it is fun to ride a small 80 motorcycle in the wind and rain? You don't think about your own image, you also have to consider the image of our agricultural trading company!" Shi Lei pursed his lips and spared no effort to hit his old watch.
"Our company's development is going well, and seeing that this year's mushroom acquisition is almost over, our sales outlets in Spring City cannot be withdrawn just like that. There are not only wild mushrooms in central Yunnan, but also many agricultural products here. You should also consider the company's long-term development plan and improve the company's software and hardware strength. When buying a car, Xiaotao should take into account the company's business image. If you want to buy it, you can buy it better, and you can drive it when necessary to fight for the company's face. Zhang Jinglei expressed her opinion slowly and methodically.
"Hehe, Aunt Zhang is right. Old watch, the company's funds have a big use, so I won't pay it back to you, and the company will borrow your private. When we are in the farmer's business, there is no need to spend money on things that are not useful. You are the big boss of the company, and you can't just think about your own private car when you spend money on it. If you have private money, you can buy a high-end car, drive it safely and comfortably, and consider the company's business use, and I will also use it when necessary. Shi Lei said happily.
Qi Jingtao, who had been counted down by the three of them for a long time, looked at Shi Lei, who was becoming more and more bossy, with a smile and a smile, and opened his mouth to fight back: "Mr. Shi, when did I urge you to pay back the money? You have a general manager's salary, and it is enough to support your family, so don't think about the dividends." Consider Aunt Zhang's suggestion, pool the funds, chase after the victory, and develop the company is the right thing. ”
"That's what I mean when I say I won't pay you back, let alone dividends. The town government has already talked about it, and is ready to buy us the whole piece of land in the farm factory. However, there are restrictions on the use, and it can only be produced and used by our agricultural trading company, and cannot be used for other operations. We have considered using the land as a sorting and processing workshop and warehouse for our company in the future, and we are also planning to build a refrigerated warehouse there, so that the agricultural products we have purchased in the future can also be stored. Shi Lei smiled and said the company's next development plan.
Qi Jingtao said approvingly: "Yes, hurry up and complete the acquisition, and take advantage of this time when there are not many things to plan and build." Stones, do you have enough money?"
"Enough, not enough to borrow from your personal hands. We now have a small reputation in the town as well, and we can borrow money from banks and credit unions to finance our operations. Shi Lei's words were full of confidence.
"Hehe, of course, it's best to have money available in the bank, but it's too slow to always rely on your own accumulation and development. The sales point in Spring City should continue to be consolidated, and staff can also be recruited locally from Spring City. After all, Spring City is a provincial capital, where there are many talents and migrant workers, and local recruitment can also reduce our labor costs. The supply of agricultural products can be considered with those professional households in central Yunnan to deepen what the HZ market needs, and we will let those professional households breed and plant what to cooperate with for a long time and supply for a long time. Qi Jingtao said his point of view with a smile, changing the topic of buying a car, they just supported it, and if they continued to talk about it, they would lose face.
"It is a good way to guide the production of rural planting and breeding according to market demand, and we can also promote market consumption according to the materials we can provide. In this regard, it can be used as the focus of the sales department's next step. You can't be passive in marketing, what you sell, selling things for the sake of selling things, that's reselling and buying, and there is no future. Zhang Jinglei wasted no time in putting forward her own suggestions.
"Marketing is a university question, and the company also buys some books and materials in this area, runs a library, and regularly organizes the company's employees to learn some theoretical knowledge. ……”
Several company management personnel chatted about the work of the agricultural trading company for a while, and everyone broke up to do things. Qi Jingtao had nothing to do, he rode his 80 motorcycle back to Zhoucheng alone, and he also went to do his own business. This morning, I sent Su Min to work at the farmer's trading company, and by the way, I had a breath. He was stimulated again and decided to go back to the state city to pick up the car as soon as possible.
After consultation with Su Min, Zhang Jinglei, and Shi Lei. Qi Jingtao eventually bought a black Passat that was more widely used for business. With a sales price of 250,000 yuan, a commercial vehicle of this price grade can also be put on the table in central Yunnan, and it can be used both public and private.
With only three off-the-shelf Passats at Volkswagen's sales point in central Yunnan, he doesn't have much choice to choose from. It looks like it's all about the same, just choose one at random, and pay for the car on the spot. Qi Jingtao drove the Passat with a temporary license plate on it, and took Xu Manli, who came with him to pick up the car, for a ride.
"Brother Tao, be careful, drive slowly, the insurance hasn't been bought yet." Xu Manli sat nervously in the passenger seat, buckled up her seat belt, and kept reminding Qi Jingtao.
The first time she saw Qi Jingtao driving alone, she also knew that his driver's license was not coming from the right way, and daring to sit in the car he drove was already very face-saving, and it was really the kind of face-giving that sacrificed his life to accompany a gentleman. It is not possible to walk on the site near the Motor City, where did I think that Qi Jingtao walked a few corners, since he ran out, he ran onto the road.
"It's okay, let's go out on the road and try the car. We didn't run far, we followed the route of National Highway 213 through District 5, went to the foot of Mount Ashan and walked a bend and came back. On the way back, I happened to stop by the farmer's trading company to pick up Su Min, and we went to have a big meal together in the evening to congratulate. Qi Jingtao spoke nonchalantly, but clumsily drove the brand-new Passat that had just been filled with gas, driving unhurriedly on the road, following a tractor and walking slowly and leisurely. Now he doesn't dare to drive directly on the highway for a ride, he only dares to run honestly on the old national highway, and the speed is not fast, so he should be on the road alone to practice driving.
"It's not far away, it's almost a hundred kilometers back and forth, you can't do it. Xu Manli sacrificed her life to accompany the gentleman, but the driver's license of the person who drove the car was really bought with money, and the technical level really had to be questioned. At the beginning, she turned off the engine a few times and stumbled out of the car sales company, which made her still have palpitations. I finally got on the road, and at this speed, I still want to run to the foot of the slope of Ashan, and I can't come back in three or four hours after running back and forth.
"Girl, can you speak? Sit down, let you see if your brother Tao is okay. Qi Jingtao said dissatisfiedly, with a slight force under his feet, he drove the brand-new Passat sedan to overtake the tractor in front of him and rushed towards Asan quickly.
"Be careful, there's a car ahead!"
"Don't bark, there's a car overtaking,...... It's coming. ”
"Ahh,......h Ah, pull aside, pull aside......"
"You don't bother, shut up. ”
