Chapter 557: Forces
When Zheng Xudong was listening to cross talk and opera in the GD hall, Tang Luoyong received a call from Wang Lu, a car salesman, in which Wang Lu said that there was something wrong with the car, which suddenly lost Zheng Xudong's interest in listening to the drama and listening to cross talk.
Let the taxi driver Ma Wendong send him and Tang Luoyong back to the hotel first, and then let Ma Wendong go and pick up Wang Lu to the hotel, where he is waiting for her.
Back at the hotel, Zheng Xudong took a hot shower first, and after coming out, he changed into a big vest and big pants, came to the living room, took out more than ten bottles of cold Budweiser beer from the space, put them on the small glass table on the viewing balcony, sat on a free chair made of rattan, and slowly swayed and looked at TJ City at night.
A few minutes later, Tang Luoyong also came to his room after taking a shower, holding the Laiyang pears bought from Qing@dao and the big cherries bought from Lianyungang, and sat next to Zheng Xudong after washing, and it was useless for Zheng Xudong to politely pick up a bottle of iced Budweiser on the table and open it and open it, "Ah... Refreshing! A good product to relieve the heat and cool down!" After speaking, he picked up the fruit knife in the fruit bowl and grabbed a Laiyang pear and quickly peeled it.
Tang Luoyong pinched the pear head and tail with the thumb and middle finger of his left hand, his index finger assisted the pear to rotate quickly, and the fruit knife in his right hand was tightly attached to the surface of the pear skin at an angle of nearly fifteen degrees and remained still.
"Thank you!" Zheng Xudong didn't politely take the peeled pear and take a sip, "Hmm... Brother Tang, you're in the fridge for this pear, isn't it?cool, crispy, comfortable!"
After Wang Lu finished the call, she said, "Whew... Straight jump, I was a little excited to think that I was going to have zero contact with my idol for a while, and then I thought that the car I sold to my idol today had a problem and was a little nervous, so I changed into a yellow half-sleeved vest in this tangled process, and wore a pair of denim strap cropped pants outside, it is said that she wanted to wear small suspenders and denim shorts on such a hot day, but when I thought that the place to meet the idol for a while was in the hotel, I was a little nervous, and I didn't know if it would happen for a while, such as Cinderella accidentally slipped and fell into the prince's arms, and the two fell on the bed, and some lingering sympathy occurred, indescribable story, and then they both entered the palace of love, and since then they have lived a life of "no shame and no shame"...
Just when she was looking forward to a better life here, the ringtone of her mobile phone on the bed shattered her dream, "Wang Lu, I am Mr. Zheng's driver, I have gone downstairs to your house, please go downstairs." โ
Wang Lu said "Okay", opened the door and ran downstairs, and after going downstairs, he looked around and didn't see the Kaibaihe Battle Shield armored car, at this time, a taxi not far from him honked its horn, and then turned on its high beams twice. Wang Lu walked towards the taxi, and the driver inside said to her: "Miss Wang Lu, I am the driver invited by Mr. Zheng, please get in the car, Mr. Zheng is already waiting for you!"
Wang Lu was slightly relieved when he saw that the driver could call his name, opened the back door of the taxi and sat in the back seat.
Ma Wendong turned on the fire and drove in the direction of the Ritz-Carlton Hotel.
Twenty minutes later, Wang Lu was taken to the Ritz-Carlton Hotel, Wang Lu actually thought that his idol Anton would live in a five-star hotel, but he didn't expect it to be the Ritz-Carlton.
Tang Luoyong welcomed Wang Lu and Ma Wendong into the room, took them to the hotel viewing balcony and sat down, Zheng Xudong glanced at Wang Lu, the salesman who was still a little nervous, and said with a smile: "Miss Wang, I haven't seen you for a few hours, we met again, did you eat at night?"
Zheng Xudong thought that he would enter the topic politely with this Miss Wang, but he didn't expect that after asking, Wang Lu shook his head and said, "I have something in my heart, I didn't eat at night!"
"Brother Tang, go to the hotel to order a dinner and order something hearty for Ms. Wang Lu. Zheng Xudong said to Tang Luoyong.
"Okay, boss!" Tang Luoyong got up and left after hearing this.
"Thank you, Anton!" Wang Lu whispered.
"Anton? that new debut is on fire? Oh my God! You're Anton! You're my idol!" The taxi driver Ma Wendong jumped up excitedly after seeing Anton after removing his makeup at this time, and exclaimed, "I led the big star to run for a day today, and I also listened to cross talk, which is enough for me to brag with those driver buddies for a lifetime, that Anton, can I take a photo with you?"
Anton promised Ma Wendong to take out his mobile phone and take a few photos with Zheng Xudong, and then Wang Lu also said that he wanted to take a few photos with his idol, and Zheng Xudong also happily took a few more photos with her.
After the two of them sat down, Zheng Xudong said: "Drink some cold beer to relieve the heat, Wang Lu, if you don't know how to drink, there are cold drinks in the room." โ
Zheng Xudong didn't expect Wang Lu to pick up a bottle of cold beer and drink it, and then said: "I drank beer with my girlfriends in the dormitory at school, and I drank this Budweiser light ale, which is as delicious as a drink." โ
But the driver Ma Wendong said with a bitter face: "I also want to drink, but unfortunately I have a car." โ
"Brother Xiaoma, it's okay, I won't go out at night, you can also drink some, if not, I will open a room for you to sleep here in this hotel, and it will be convenient to go out tomorrow." โ
"Really?" Seeing Zheng Xudong nodded, he also excitedly picked up a bottle of cold beer and took a sip, and then sighed: "This original beer in the United States is delicious." Sweet, dull, like drinking sugar water. Enjoyable!"
Several people sat on the viewing balcony and chatted together, Zheng Xudong didn't ask Wang Lu what was going on, just listened to Ma Wendong, the "old driver", say some interesting stories about TJ.
After a while, the room service brought Wang Lu's dinner, and Tang Luoyong ordered a large medium-rare steak, as well as a fruit salad and a glass of red wine.
Zheng Xudong could see that Wang Lu was indeed a little hungry by eating, and soon the steak and salad were wiped out by this little girl, and after eating, she was a little embarrassed to look at her idol, "I was in a bad mood at night and didn't eat, but I was in a good mood after seeing my idol, and I was hungry, so I ate more!"
"It's okay, as long as you like it!Are you full?" Seeing Wang Lu nodded, "Tell me what's going on with my car this time?"
Wang Lu carefully talked about the dispute with his boss Chen Liying this afternoon, and finally said: "I went there for less than a month as an intern in the summer vacation at school, and I have heard that there are some traps in buying parallel imported cars, but the Sihai Automobile Trade Import and Export Company where I work is a regular company, and I didn't expect this kind of thing to happen, so I hurriedly came to tell you to see if I took legal means to solve this problem." โ
After listening to Wang Lu's words, Ma Wendong, who was sitting on the side, said: "Mr. Zheng, I didn't expect you to come here to buy a car, I know all those cats of parallel imported cars in TJ Port, if I had known that you bought a car and came to me, I know which company is more formal and does not deceive people, in fact, there are at least twenty or thirty of the hundred parallel imported cars there are commercial frauds like Miss Wang Lu said." Those of us who drive taxis encounter outsiders who come here and are deceived, and in the end we all pay a large part of the car and think that we are unlucky. โ
"Then no one sued them?" asked Zheng Xudong.
"How not! But the vast majority of them will not sue, because even if they pay the car payment, it is slightly cheaper than the outside sale, just like Miss Wang Lu just said, you pay 400,000 cars, in fact, you spent 3 million on this car, which is cheaper than the outside price, if these fraudulent companies encounter those who want to sue, they will first be cheaper, so that the owner pays less money for private, if they really want to sue, they are not afraid, the big deal is to sell to the customer at a negotiated price, anyway, they still make money, but once the lawsuit is filed, it will take at least three months to half a year, how can any customer be willing to wait, it is a matter of paying part of the moneyใ As far as I know, there are at least 10 cases of this kind of thing every month, but there are no three or four customers who have to file a lawsuit a year, and they are all private. No way, they're too powerful. Ma Wendong said with emotion.
"Big power?" Zheng Xudong asked puzzled.
"Of course, I heard that they knew that the Toyota Overlord and the Land Cruiser were selling well, and they were selling well from the Middle East, The United States and Europe have imported a lot of overlord and land cruisers, that is, the so-called Middle East version, the American version and the European version, but the domestic Jilin Changchun first automobile factory has been a joint venture with Japanese benzene can produce overlord and land cruisers, we call these for the Chinese version, these car chassis, fuel and other parameters are more suitable for domestic road conditions, but these domestically produced overlord and land cruisers have affected the sales of these imported parallel cars, they used the upper forces to stop the production line of FAW production overlord and land cruisersใ Forcing these customers who want these two cars to come to TJ Port to buy their parallel imported Middle Eastern, American and European versions, you say that they can stop the production line of FAW, Mr. Zheng, do you say that the power of these people can still be afraid of individual customers suing?"
It is the first time that Zheng Xudong has heard of this kind of thing, a group of car sellers can stop the production line of the national automobile factory in order to make money from selling cars, which is really a strange news in the world!
"Do you know who the forces behind them are?" asked Zheng Xudong.
"How can we, the taxi drivers, know these things? We have heard that these companies are covered by a customs chief, and the specific situation is passed on to each other by us drivers who are idle, and no one can say clearly. Ma Wendong shrugged his shoulders and said.
"Mr. Zheng, how are you going to solve it?" asked Wang Lu cautiously.
Zheng Xudong smiled coldly, "It's easy to solve!" In this way, Mr. Ma, you go to the open room and live here, and I will say a few words to Miss Wang. โ
Ma Wendong has been a taxi driver in society for so long, and he still has a good eye, stood up and said "thank you" and left.
There were only three people left in the house, Zheng Xudong, Tang Luoyong and Wang Lu, Zheng Xudong looked at Wang Lu's eyes and said, "Miss Wang, if I want to solve the problem of the car, I want to ask you to do me a favor, I don't know if you are willing?"
