In the United States, guns are a man's second life, and a car is a man's third life. The vocabulary of Chinese characteristics is not simple: the car is the little wife - the wife and the car are not borrowed.

So buying a car is an important job.

Familiar with the way to open the computer to connect to the network, the newly installed ISDN is cool, when the vast majority of people are still struggling with the 56K cat relying on the telephone line and 163 dialing, he has taken the lead in enjoying the 128K dual-channel service, although compared to the later generations of wide driving not moving tens of M, hundreds of M speed is far inferior, but in the current era, it can be completely described as surfing.

Now there are still some car introductions on several forums, and at the same time, unlike later generations, there are car rests and car blacks everywhere, or advertisements all over the Internet, and now those who can post and communicate on the Internet are enthusiasts who really love cars - they may not have cars, but they know everything about vehicle performance and parameters.

In the past few days, he has roughly read the newspaper introduction, and has been to the 4S store, and he has initially locked the target.

As an individual user, he feels that his career has just started, and he can use a car, after all, in this era, he is a completely successful person with a car, and there is no need to be too high-profile, just buy some domestic cars at an affordable price. It not only saves money but also supports domestic products. Of course, this does not mean that he will buy the little Alto with only 0.8 liters of displacement, or the old three that he is tired of seeing - Xiali, Fukang, and Santana. His target is the new Santana 2000 era superman who has just been released and costs 180,000 yuan.

However, people are always fickle, and Santana 2000 he had the impression that he could barely accept it. As a result, the brain thought very well, and after really going to the 4S store to see the real car, the little Bourgeois Chang, who has 15 years of driving experience, regretted it directly, and the long-dormant tsundere and vanity attacked, and felt that it was really ugly to sit in, so ugly that some people couldn't get started. If you are not a person who is born again, then looking at the Santana 2000 is estimated to be like a treasure, after all, it is more mellow and modern than Poussin, and the problem of rebirth will come as soon as it is touched.

There is no way, at this time domestic cars are like this.

There is also a more prominent domestic car in the country is Audi 100, this model can be eye-catching, the problem Audi has always been the government, large state-owned enterprises with cars, the person sitting on it must be at least in his early 40s Division-level cadres, he and Wang Huiling are only in their 20s, and they are small enterprises, and they really don't take advantage of it.

In addition, there is an expectation that Shanghai Buick, which will be put into production at the end of the year and cooperate with General Motors of the United States, but it will be at least the end of the year to get out of the car.

In addition to the brand model, the license plate is also what he pays attention to.

Shanghai's sky-high iron sheet was not only famous in later generations, but it was also not bad at this time - 100,000 yuan a piece.

The only exception was the launch of a private auction of Santana models in Shanghai earlier this year. The starting price is 20,000 yuan, and it can only be used to purchase Shanghai-made Santana (including the 2000 model, which will also be applicable to Buick after Shanghai GM is put into production), with a limit of 10,000 units. It is said that it is a quota, but in fact this quota is larger than all the sales of local Shanghai-made cars last year.

According to the policy, if the owner of the car obsesses Santana and replaces it with a new car after two years, the license plate is no longer subject to any restrictions and can be directly transferred to other vehicles. If you want to buy non-Shanghai-made cars (including domestic cars and imported cars), you still have to bid at a starting price of 100,000 yuan, and buying Shanghai-made cars is 80,000 yuan cheaper than buying other cars, and there are 2-year terms, which suddenly stimulates the vitality of the car market.

Everyone is not stupid, and they know that if they buy a Santana for a while, and then sell it to other places in two years as a second-hand car for a new one, wouldn't that save money all of a sudden? Shanghai's practice has aroused strong dissatisfaction from other regions and manufacturers. After the policy was introduced, the hardest hit was Fukang, which competed directly with Poussin, which could not sell a single one in Shanghai.

So Hubei Province quickly formulated retaliatory measures against Santana: stipulating that the purchase of Santana in Hubei must pay the "Relief Fund" (to help Hubei car companies solve difficulties), and the Hubei government said that the Hubei government said that we should be more generous and charge less than Shanghai, and set 70,000 yuan.

As a result, the unique domestic auto trade war began: Shanghai did not buy Fukang, and Hubei did not buy Santana. After the media hype, the whole country was in an uproar, and even the Ministry of Communications had to step in to do the work, and the teachers of the recently opened political economy course were also unimpressed with the local protection policy.

However, the Shanghai newspapers did not see the slightest comment, and Chang Tianhao was able to understand the news, thanks to the fact that he often browsed the Internet for information and went to the library to read foreign newspapers.

Due to the economic asymmetry between Hubei and Shanghai, even if the same policy is issued to fight a trade war, it is obvious that Hubei will suffer a loss -- how many people in Hubei buy cars? How many people in Shanghai buy cars?

Therefore, Hubei can only go to Beijing to file a complaint, but this is useless, and the face of the magic capital is very hard -- and I don't want to see where the elders came from? Due to the financial crisis and the decline in the economic situation, the economic efficiency of Shanghai car companies has declined, and the Shanghai political and legal authorities have said that they have no choice but to do it.

The official document has been coordinated back and forth for a long time, has been delayed for more than 1 year, and finally waited until 2000 after the overall economic improvement in Shanghai began to open up, not consciously liberalized, is by virtue of the Shanghai license public auction system this policy adjustment liberalized, after the liberalization of the Shanghai license plate was once relatively cheap, the lowest auction price can be 8800 yuan, and then hovering around 10,000 yuan for a few months, and then the price has soared, and the people who have not caught up can only regret it.

On the one hand, in order to stimulate real estate sales, Shanghai has launched the measure of "combined sales of garages" to purchase a set of commercial houses of more than 300,000 yuan outside the inner ring road, and only 5,000 yuan to buy a private car license plate; On the other hand, it is to promote the reform of official vehicles. Employees of Shanghai Volkswagen, SAIC, Baosteel and other large enterprises will be issued free license plates for the purchase of Shanghai-made cars.

These policies seemed insignificant at the time, but in Chang Tianhao's eyes, all of them were business opportunities, as long as he hooked up with the real estate developer, made a down payment and then transferred to the next family, he could not only take the income from speculation, but also get a license for nothing, and more importantly, he also had a good relationship with the real estate developer - is it not good for someone to help you take care of the city?

Originally, he wanted to toss and toss, but later felt that this kind of thing of eating the difference in policy dividends was too low and gave up. Just like in this era, he can go to a place where the control is not strict and buy a driver's license without having to take a hard test in Shanghai, but the ghost knows if this kind of thing will become his own black material after a few years? If a few years later, the financial rectification reveals that he has "colluded" with real estate dealers to speculate, even if he is not investigated, his reputation will stink in the first place.

So it's really not to say that China's private enterprises have original sin, there are too many loopholes in the market economy at the beginning, so that people with intentions do not drill these loopholes than it is more difficult for men to see a woman undressed in front of them and not excited, but little Bourgeois Chang's recent ability to resist corruption and change is bullish, and there is a hedging idea bonus, so looking at these loopholes have been let go - what a good opportunity to make a fortune.

Sometimes it's more distressing to not make money than to lose money!

But now he doesn't care, the car he is currently looking at is an imported Toyota Camry, the name became Camry a few years later, not because the latter is more foreign, but because the Camry brand has been registered, GAC has to spend a lot of money to get it back first, and finally changed to Camry.

The same experience also has Lexus (Lexus), if the superiority of Camry over Camry is not very much, then the brand meaning of Lexus is far more than Lexus, and it is more widely sung in the fan circle, but unfortunately this trademark is gone. Based on the above two cases, who said that Chinese do not attach importance to intellectual property rights? Isn't this a living example?

In addition to Toyota Camry, he also looked at the competitor in the same class - the fifth-generation imported Acord (renamed Accord a few years later, this name was not preemptively registered). The fifth-generation Accord came in relatively early and has become the most common Japanese car in China, but although the wheelbase of this generation Accord is 2715mm, due to the short-tail design, the length of the car is only 4673mm, and the overall look is not very beautiful.

Chang Tianhao knows that the sixth generation Accord has been listed in Japan, and will soon be introduced into China, this car will sell very well in the next few years, becoming the mainstream model at that time, before he was reborn, he graduated from college and entered the agency, when the secretary used the latest black version of the 6th generation Accord, which is much superior to the Hongqi Century Star of other leaders, he is very familiar with the car driver, and he has a good time to enjoy, but once he was unfortunately seen by the secretary and was trained, it is estimated that this matter is not good to stay in the impression of the leader, but it doesn't matter, anyway, he will soon resign and go to graduate school。

In addition to these two, the classic Toyota Crown 133 and 155, Duke Nissan King Y31 are all famous models, Chang Tianhao has seen them all, grand enough, but also old enough, not in line with their own age level, or in a few years, how is Toyota Camry, I have to go to the 4S store tomorrow to see.

Closing the computer, he always felt that there was something he didn't seem to do, and after searching in his mind for a long time, he finally recalled that when Lu Xiaomin talked about divorce today, the idea in his mind at that time was to write a letter to Principal Mi - it had been delayed for more than two months, but he didn't dare to delay any longer, so he turned on the lamp again and wrote the letter in one go......

Dear Principal Mi,

It has been nearly 4 months since I left Xishan Middle School, but the past of your guidance on my writing is still vivid and unforgettable......

In autumn, the maple leaves of the Hujiang River have gradually turned red, I specially picked a few and sent them to you, I hope you can like it.

I am very comfortable with university life as a whole, but there is one thing that has been haunting my heart, as if it is like a fish in my throat, not vomiting unpleasantly, I have repeatedly circled how to talk to you, and finally found that it will be more appropriate to explain it in letters, the following text is from my heart, and I have seen it with my own eyes, and it is not fabricated, so no matter how ridiculous I said at first reading, please do not laugh at random, because it is very important and critical to you......

It all started with the summer vacation......
