Chapter 21 Buying a car
This afternoon's experience made Guo go understand something, it turned out that he didn't have to run to every house.
Just run three or two or ask them to ask the market for collecting scrap on the street tomorrow, and then after noon tomorrow, they will go to collect scrap.
At that time, as long as one or two scrap products are sold to him, it will form an effect, and the end result will be that whoever wants to sell scrap will sell it to him, because he gives the highest price!
No matter what industry in this world, it is a technical job, and the layman thinks it is simple, and the insider knows how difficult life is, that is, the insider looks at the doorway, and the layman looks at the excitement.
Every industry is full of knowledge, and everything must be achieved step by step.
Guo is not in a hurry, after he collects the waste products in his village, he doesn't take anything, and walks to the neighboring village with the girl in his arms.
I went to two or three random families, asked them if they wanted to sell scrap, and then told them the purchase price.
Then, if you want to sell scrap, you can weigh it with your own scale, and he will give the money immediately. But no one sold it to him, this is not the village, no one believed that a child of him would be more expensive than scrap collected on the street, and no one believed that he had money on him.
Speaking of which, they just have to go to the street to ask the price, and then see Guo go to take out the money, so they will sell it to him.
This also happens to be Guo Qu's purpose, everything is under his control.
As long as they go to the street and ask, who gives the highest price, it is naturally clear at a glance.
In this way, when they come back tomorrow, they will naturally sell what they want to sell.
As long as one or two sell, it will make the hearts of onlookers excited, and most of them will eventually sell.
In this way, Guo went to six or seven villages, and only asked two or three families in each village, and then went home before dark, had a beautiful dinner, and fell asleep directly while it was not completely dark, and did not need to shine on the kerosene lamp.
Speaking of today's exercise, I have been walking all day, even if I take a tractor in the morning, it will take a lot of effort to hold on to the railing and the girl.
So although he was sitting on a tractor, it was actually more difficult than walking, and his hands were sore at this time.
Not long after lying on the bed, he fell asleep, and the girl was even more powerful, he always slept when it was dark, forming a special regular biological clock, and naturally fell asleep earlier than Guo Qu.
The next morning, I had breakfast early, took the old man and the girl, and walked to the street.
People who went to say hello yesterday will only go to the street today at noon, that is, after breakfast, so there will definitely be no business in the morning.
In order not to waste time, Guo is ready to do a big thing!
He wants to buy a car, a rickshaw, and prepare for a long walk to collect books.
What he wants to buy is a bicycle that he doesn't know how many hands he has, anyway, it is not one hand, except that the parts are a little old, but there are no other big problems.
The seller lives on the street, Guo has to negotiate with others by himself, and bringing the old man naturally has a heart to be a "bodyguard".
Otherwise, if he is seen by someone with a heart, Guo Qu is afraid that he will not be able to walk out of the street, and the money will be gone, and I don't know why he didn't have it!
The seller's surname is Wu, his name is Wu Dashun, he is a wealthy family on the street, he bought a new human-powered tricycle, and the old one does not want to be sold as scrap iron, so it has been placed on the side of the road, but there has been no buyer to come to the door, so it has not been sold for more than half a year.
Guo went to the door, which made Wu Dashun happy, it is better to be bought than to sell it as scrap iron!
With such a mentality, Wu Dashun opened the chain lock on the car, then wiped the car with a cloth, and then inflated the tires with a gas cylinder, and then stood aside and asked Guo to inspect the car.
Guo Qu first tried the gears, but saw that the rust was not very obvious, and it was also buttered.
Then I looked at the bucket and saw that it was no longer painted, and it had become rusty.
Finally, a basin of water came out of Wu Dashun's house, and then poured it on three wheelchairs, observed for a while, and saw that two of them had no bubbles, indicating that there was no leakage of slow air. If there are bubbles on one wheel, but the bubbles form very slowly, the air leak is slow and acceptable.
The conclusions reached were better than he expected, and his heart was naturally satisfied.
However, satisfaction could not be shown on his face, but forced himself to frown.
After washing his hands, he looked at Wu Dashun, and was silent for a few seconds, estimating that after Wu Dashun's heart began to fluctuate, he said:
"This car...... It's a little old. ”
Hearing this, the smile on Wu Dashun's face disappeared, but he was not angry, after all, the car was a fact.
"Do you want to buy it?"
Guo Qu did not answer, but quickly estimated the weight of the car in his heart, and came to the conclusion that it was about one hundred and fifty catties.
According to the scrap recycling, it will cost 150 yuan, which can be used as the lower limit for him to buy this car.
"Name a price. Guo said.
Whoever makes the price first will suffer, and he understands this truth, so he naturally has to strike first, so he said let Wu Dashun make a price.
Wu Dashun looked at Guo Qu, to be honest, he thought it was the old man who wanted to buy it at first, but he didn't expect it to be a ten-year-old child.
"You see that this car has no other problems except for the old one, right?" Wu Dashun did not offer a price, but said that the car was a problem.
Guo Qu's frowning brows on the surface are still the same, but he knows in his heart that this Wu Dashun is not simple, and he must increase it.
"I saw your car parked here half a year ago, if it's good, how can no one buy it? And just by checking it for a while, I can't judge whether it's good or bad. ”
Wu Dashun glanced at Guo Qu again, and saw that he was still frowning, and it seemed that he didn't plan to buy it, so he couldn't help but smile bitterly, "Yes, you can give a price, as long as it is not treated as a scrap." ”
Guo Qu was considering on the surface, but in fact he was observing Wu Dashun's expression, he was afraid that the price he gave was too close to the price of scrap, and people would not sell it, so he said:
"Well, I look at the car about one hundred and fifty pounds, then one hundred and sixteen...... How about 180 dollars?"
Hearing one hundred and sixteen, Wu Dashun frowned, but after Guo went to change it to one hundred and eighteen, his frowning brow instantly became normal, that is to say, the price of one hundred and eighty had been accepted by him in his heart.
This is all deliberate by Guo Qu.
"Can you give me more? My car has 155 pounds, and it costs 155 yuan to sell it as scrap iron!"
Guo Qu opened his eyes and said nonsense, "Uncle, don't hide it, I was originally going to sell a new car, but my grandfather thought it was too expensive, so he decided to buy the old one, one hundred and eight really can't be more." ”
"One hundred and nine, no? My car is not broken at all, but it has been left for a long time. ”
Guo went to shake his head, "It's because I put it for a long time before I give this price, you see this stool, it's all deformed, if the price of one hundred and eight can't be negotiated, then you can take it to the scrap collection and sell it, but I estimate the price given by others ......."
