Chapter 595 - Ordering a Car
Early the next morning, the four of them ate Yangcheng's special breakfast rice rolls in the hotel restaurant.
The work and rest time of the people of the Northeast are different from those of the entire South. After crossing the Yellow River, it's basically a standard 9-to-5, but not in the Northeast, where most of the Northeast goes to work at 7:30 or 8 in the morning. Therefore, people in the Northeast are generally able to get up early.
After breakfast, the whole Yangcheng was still asleep, although the traffic and pedestrians on the street had appeared, but the shops were not open, and the four people had to go back to the room to sit and drink tea and talk.
At nine o'clock, Xiaowei dialed the phone number of Ferrari's Hong Kong Island office provided by the Beijing Hotel.
"Hello, this Ess this Ferrari Camboni. ”
Xiaowei was dumbfounded: "Ah, I'm looking for Ferrari, can you speak Chinese? I don't understand." ”
"Hello, Wow Kanai is the only right?"
"I don't understand what you're saying, can you speak Chinese? Xiaowei scratched his head, and Xiaohong was happy on the side.
"Harrow, ah, Yosdeo, here, Wow, yosa?"
Xiaohong climbed over from the bed with a smile, stretched out her hand and said, "Give, give it to me." Ha ha. ”
Xiaowei handed the phone to Xiaohong and said, "I don't speak Chinese if it's a broken place." I'll learn English when I go back. ”
"Harrow, Eszrot Ferrari?"
"Yes, yes, yes, we're Ferrari, oh my God, great. How can I help you?"
"Sorry, my husband doesn't speak English. Excuse me, did you buy your company's car?"
"Yes, we are Ferrari, the best racing company in the world, would you like to order?
"Uh, the red one, the canopy on top will open and close. It's the one you sold in the capital a few days ago, and it should be the same. Xiaohong talked to each other while thinking, the English environment in China is too poor, and it is not easy to have such a conversation.
"Beijing, China's capital? Wait a minute. The other party seemed to check the information: "Is it a Ferrari 348? We have only sold this car in China." "In fact, at that time, there was more than one Ferrari in China, but none of them were officially sold, and they were basically driven from Hong Kong Island.
Xiaohong asked Xiaowei: "He asked if it was a Ferrari 348, model." ”
Xiaowei said: "How can I understand this, whatever, anyway, the red and open top ones are fine, and I want the latest model." ”
Xiaohong said to the phone, "Is this your latest model?"
"Yes, 348, our latest masterpiece. ”
Xiaohong said: "That's this car, to be open-topped, red, how much does it cost?"
"Forty-five thousand dollars, do you want to buy it?"
Xiaohong was stunned for a moment, turned her head to Xiaowei and said, "He said it's only 45,000 dollars a car, why is it so cheap?"
Xiaowei said: "The price abroad, right?
Xiaohong stuck out her tongue and said to the phone: "I'm sorry, I'm in China, Fengtian, Liaodong, is it still this price?"
The other party said, "No, no, no, ma'am, that's impossible, it costs 137,000 dollars in China, not including shipping and other expenses." ”
Xiaohong asked, "137,000 dollars?"
The other said, "Yes ma'am, 137,000." ”
Xiaohong said to Xiaowei: "Thirteen thousand seven." ”
Xiaowei nodded and said, "Okay, three cars, I want to have stock." ”
Xiaohong said to the phone, "Is it in stock?" I want to buy three. ”
The other raised his voice: "Three, do you mean three?"
Xiaohong said, "Yes, three." To be in stock. ”
The other party checked the information again and said, "I'm sorry Miss, there is only one TS, and there are more than three TB, silver-gray." Do you still want it?"
Xiaohong asked, "TB? I don't understand your professional language, I'm sorry." ”
The other party said: "Hardtop two-door sports car, believe my miss, it's quite beautiful." ”
Xiaohong said to Xiaowei: "There is only one open top, and it is said that there is a hard-top two-door one, silver gray, do you want it?"
Xiaowei said: "If you want to, you can't buy one, it doesn't feel good." If you want, ask him when he will be sent to Mukden. ”
Xiaohong said to the phone: "Yes, two TB and one TS, how long will it take to transport it to Fengtian, Liaodong?"
The other side was excited, screamed, and said, "Yes, solid, what a charming rich lady." How far is it from the capital?"
Xiaohong thought for a moment and said, "The straight-line distance is about more than 600 kilometers. ”
The other side seemed to be checking the map, and after a while he said, "Madam, we will transport the car to Dalian by boat, and then the professional driver will drive from Dalian to Mukden, and we can reduce the cost for you by half, do you think it's okay?"
Xiaohong didn't ask Xiaowei this time, and said, "No, I bought three such expensive cars, and I don't bear any expenses other than the car model, not at all." And if you want to drive from Dalian to Mukden, close to 400 kilometers, am I still buying a new car?
The other party seemed to be discussing a few people, and Xiaohong, who was muttering, couldn't understand it, and didn't speak English, Xiaohong asked Xiaowei in a low voice: "Which country is this car factory from?"
Xiao Wei thought for a while and said, "Yi Duli, right? Xiao Hui seems to be talking about Yi Duli." ”
Xiaohong pursed her lips: "They are discussing, and I don't understand what they say." ”
After a few minutes, the other party said, "Are you here, ma'am, because you bought three cars at once, so after research, we decided to adjust the car to 135,000, and we will be responsible for the freight, but we still need to drive from Dalian to Mukden, do you think this is okay?"
Xiaohong was still not very happy, and said to Xiaowei: "They said that the car should be driven from Dalian to Mukden. ”
Xiaowei said: "Kaibei, you don't have to drive it when you buy it, if you don't drive it, what will you transport? "At that time, there were no vehicles specifically used to transport cars in China, and domestic car transportation was generally driven by hired people. Car transportation is not just a matter of finding a trailer, and the fixation of the vehicle is a big problem.
Xiaohong pursed her lips and said to the phone: "Okay, but if you drive 400 kilometers, I ask for at least another 3,000 dollars for a car." ”
After talking for a while, Xiaohong and the other party finally negotiated at 133,500 US dollars, and hung up the phone with a proud look at Xiaowei, saying: "They will come to Yangcheng in the afternoon to sign the contract, 133,500, am I amazing?"
Xiaowei nodded and said with a smile: "Amazing, more than 50,000 yuan for three cars, it's saved." ”
Gazi said: "Xiaohong is really good, I can still murmur with foreigners for a long time, I don't understand a word." ”
Xiao Liu touched his chin and said, "I can understand a few words alone, but I can't understand them even together." ”
Xiaowei said: "I'll go back and find a place to learn English, I'm really anxious if I don't understand it." ”
Xiaohong said, "Okay, I'll teach you when I go back." They said it would take 12 days for the car to arrive home. It's so slow. ”
