1449, sitting on a Mercedes
On October 2, 2003, the second day of the Chinese Golden Week, the fourth day of Wang Bo's arrival in France, Wang Bo officially began his tour of France under the leadership of two international students hired by him with high salaries.
On this day, Chen Ziyang and Xia Xue, who had breakfast, first went to meet him near Montparnasse, where Wang Bo was located, and then the three of them took a taxi and went directly to the car rental agency to rent a car.
The car rental industry in Europe and the United States is too developed, and the large chain car rental agencies not only have many models, but also the prices are cheap, and economic hatchbacks such as Volkswagen, Renault, and Fiat can even be used for only ten euros a day. Even if it is a luxury car like ABB (Audi, BMW, Mercedes-Benz), it is only fifty or sixty euros, sixty or seventy euros a day. There are also discounts for long-term rentals.
Considering the comfort of the ride, Wang Bo planned to rent a Mercedes-Benz S600 directly. The car is quite new, at least ninety percent new, and it seems that there are not many people who rent this kind of car on weekdays. The price is not expensive, only 85 euros a day for a week, which is lower than the remuneration paid by Wang Bo to two international students.
Chen Ziyang was surprised and delighted to see that Wang Bo was ready to rent a car that only the rich could afford to drive in China, even in Europe, and generally only elderly bosses would choose.
But after the surprise, there was a burst of uncontrollable trepidation. In Europe, although he has also rented cars and borrowed classmates' cars to drive, he drives small and exquisite hatchbacks. This kind of big guy is more than five meters long and nearly two meters wide, but he has never touched it. What if something happens while driving...... Chen Ziyang shivered, feeling that his palms and back couldn't help sweating.
Seeing Wang Bo get into a "brand-new" S600 under the leadership of the car dealership, Xia Xue was also a little surprised and excited. She hadn't sat in a Mercedes Benz so big, and she didn't know what it would be like to sit in it later. Once again, she felt lucky that she had recommended herself. If she had given this opportunity to others, she wouldn't have had the opportunity to ride this S-class Mercedes-Benz in the Year of the Monkey in this life.
Soon, however, she felt guilty and even dissatisfied with her superficial vanity.
"Xia Xue, Xia Xue, you are so superficial! Isn't it just to sit and Mercedes for a few days, see if you can be a little happy!"
"However, people are just a little happy in their hearts!"
“……”
After thinking about it, she found that Chen Ziyang in front of her seemed to be a little uncomfortable, and he was checking sweat with a tissue early in the morning. Xia Xue was stunned, thinking that the other party was unwell, so she walked over and asked in a low voice, "Brother Yang, what's wrong with you?"
"No!" Chen Ziyang smiled a little embarrassedly, hesitating whether to tell Xia Xue the truth, but after thinking about it, he decided to tell the other party. "Xue Xue," Chen Ziyang pulled Xia Xue aside, shrunk his neck, and said in a low voice, "I have never driven this kind of car, and my heart is really a little empty." Otherwise, you will persuade Mr. Wang to choose an ordinary car? Even if it is an Audi, this Daben, or the top-of-the-line S600, looks really scary!"
"Let Mr. Wang change the car? Maybe, maybe he himself is in this kind of car in China, and we let him change to a low-gear car, this ...... Is it appropriate?" Xia Xue looked embarrassed.
If you go out to travel between a few friends, of course, how to save, how cost-effective how to come, but for Wang Bo, their food and clothing, parents, and the top boss in the next few days, asking people to change to low-gear cars, even if it is out of good intentions, this is a bit inappropriate.
Xia Xue thought of it as human nature, Chen Ziyang, who was frowning, gritted his teeth and said with determination: "Otherwise, after Mr. Wang settles the car, I will buy a separate 'worry-free full insurance' including collision, theft, deductible, third-party liability, personal and property protection, glass, tire protection and roadside assistance, which is almost more than ten euros per day on the basis of basic insurance." The money will be deducted from my remuneration at that time. Otherwise, just let me drive on the road, my heart is really empty!"
"Okay, then buy a 'worry-free full insurance', Brother Yang. You don't have to pay for the insurance alone, and we will be half of the two of us at that time. Xia Xue nodded and said. She is also very clear about Chen Ziyang's situation, and understands that the S600 that Wang Bo is going to rent is indeed a bit Alexander for Chen Ziyang, and she is afraid of accidents.
"How can I let you pay this fee, Xuexue? I am the driver, and I bought this insurance for my own peace of mind, and I must have come." Don't fight with me!"
"I didn't argue with you, Brother Yang. The two of us are one, and everything we encounter when we go out must be a retreat together, so how can you bear it alone? I will definitely pay half of the insurance premium......
When the two were arguing about who would pay the insurance premium, Wang Bo, who had already made up his mind to rent S600, walked over to the two and said, "Xiao Chen, Xiao Xia, I have chosen the car." Just that S600. Xiao Xia, this is my passport and credit card, and the password is ******, you guys go and check in for a car rental. ”
"Okay, Mr. Wang. Xia Xue took the passport and credit card handed over by Wang Bo, saw that Chen Ziyang had been making eye contact with her, took a breath, and plucked up the courage to say to Wang Bo, "Mr. Wang, that, when renting a car, can you buy a 'worry-free insurance' with all-inclusive accident liability? This costs an extra 15 euros per day." But don't worry, this cost will be borne by me and Brother Yang. ”
Wang Bo was stunned for a moment, looked at the two of them who were blushing and a little embarrassed, and suddenly understood what was going on. He smiled, stepped forward and patted Xia Xue on the shoulder, and said to him:
"Buy it, Xiao Xia, what's the risk. After all, it's a rented car, and I'm not afraid of 10,000. But don't worry about anything you have to pay for in front of me. I paid for the more, but I can't afford to pay for the less?
"Xiao Chen, don't have any burden, no matter how big the car is, it is also driven by people, drive it slower and be careful. You don't have any psychological burden. After speaking, Wang Bo walked up to Chen Ziyang again and patted the other party's shoulder.
"Thank you, Mr. Wang. ”
The car was set.
After that, the three of them threw their luggage directly into the trunk, and then went straight to Chinatown, ready to buy some food, drink and use on the road. When he started to go on the road, when the driver's Chen Ziyang looked at the six roads and listened to all directions, he drove cautiously and tremblingly, and when reversing, he also asked Xia Xue, who was sitting in the co-pilot, to get out of the car to help him observe the side of the road.
However, when he laughed, he nodded secretly and approvingly for Chen Ziyang's cautious, never risk-taking, and realistic spirit. In his last life, he has been in contact with many people, many of whom are still his relatives, borrowing other people's cars to drive, not at all cars, when F1, when the plane is driving, all kinds of floor oil, all kinds of speeding violations, all kinds of chassis rubbing, not his own baby is not distressed, and his eyebrows are not wrinkled, so that the person who borrowed the car poured eight lifetimes of blood mold, many friends, relatives and relatives turned against each other!
In the Chinese supermarket in Chinatown, the three of them made a big purchase, mineral water, drinks, beer, red wine, bread, beef jerky, instant noodles, and French fries...... All kinds of food and drink, and made two big bags.
Later, Wang Bo asked Chen Ziyang to drive to an outdoor goods store, bought three single tents, and planned to have the opportunity to camp for one night.
By the time everything was ready, it was almost noon.
So, with a wave of his hand, Wang Bo asked Chen Ziyang to drive the car back to Chinatown, and ate a bowl of Vietnamese noodles at the Vietnamese restaurant where he and Xia Xue met for the first time.
After eating, it's time to really set off.
