Chapter 553: Buying a Car
Just when Zheng Xudong was walking around the Auto Trade City comfortably, a voice suddenly sounded behind him, "Big brother, come to my house to take a look, there is an Audi A8L that has just been seized by the customs, if you want to buy it, sell it to you cheaply... β
If it is other models, Zheng Xudong may not want to see it, but as soon as he heard that they happen to have an Audi A8L at home, it doesn't matter if he is seized by the customs, as long as you dare to sell it, he will dare to buy it. He just didn't see the sale of Audi A8L on the first floor of the first floor of the Auto Trade City, which may be related to the high localization of Audi, now the Audi A6 vehicle has been fully localized, Audi A8L This high-end car is the kind of Audi family-style front face, which makes people look like buying a car Audi A6L at a glance, which is contrary to the purpose of the local tyrants to pursue eyeballs, so usually no one wants to import Audi A8L. There is another car that has a very similar fate to the Audi A8L, and that is Volkswagen's top-of-the-line sedan, the Pyuton. People who don't know how to do it either take it as Poussin or as Magotan , in short, no one wants to believe that Phaeton is a luxury car with a price of nearly three million.
Zheng Xudong turned around and saw a young saleswoman in her twenties, with a TJ accent, who seemed to be a local, and said, "Okay, I'll take a look, lead the way ahead." β
The waitress was stunned for a moment, obviously just asked casually whether she had a ride or not, but she didn't expect this customer to really want to go to see the car with her, so she quickly showed a professional smile and said, "Okay, please come with me." The salesperson took the lead and walked outside the auto trade city.
"Isn't the car in the Auto Trade City?" asked Zheng Xudong with some hesitation.
"Boss, our family is the largest merchant in the entire auto trade city, the name is Sihai Car Dealership, you can ask if I lied to you, the Audi A8L store did not set up a special booth for it, so I can only go to this field to see, and there are only two, the others have been sold. As he spoke, the salesman took Zheng Xudong to a South Korean Hyundai car and said, "Get in the car, I'll take you to the warehouse to see the car."
Zheng Xudong was not afraid of what this saleswoman could do to him, so he directly pulled the car door and sat in the passenger seat.
The saleswoman drove the car to Zheng Xudong to the edge of the port, saying that it was a bonded warehouse, but in fact, the vehicles were parked in the open air, and the entire parking lot was divided into many pieces, and the saleswoman drove the car into one of the parking lots, and after parking the car, she came down and said to Zheng Xudong: "Boss, this parking lot is our company, and all the vehicles here are imported by us for sale." With that, he stretched out his hand and pointed at a large area of vehicles in front of him.
Sure enough, this parking lot is at least the size of a standard football field, with at least more than 200 imported cars parked, one close to the other, the same model put together, most of them are various types of SUVs, Toyota series, Land Rover series, Mercedes-Benz G series, and M series, Cadillac and Lincoln large SUVs are also a lot, and the rest are luxury cars, mainstream models Rolls-Royce, Bentley, Maybach have, and there are quite a few.
Walked to the innermost part of the parking lot to see two Audi A8L, in addition to these two cars, there are also two Jaguar XL top sedans parked next to the Audi A8L, probably parked for a long time, the body is full of mud, dirty and unpresentable.
The salesperson saw some disgust in Zheng Xudong's eyes, so he said: "Big brother, don't look at these two cars are a little dirty, but as long as they are cleaned, they are still very good-looking, these two Audi A8L were seized by the customs at the end of last year, because they have been parked for almost half a year, so they are a little dirty, as long as you buy it, sister, I will personally pay for you to brush the car." β
Zheng Xudong laughed when he heard her words, "Ha... Millions of cars have been bought, and you can't afford to spend more than 100 yuan on car brushing, you are really joking. β
"Boss, in fact, I also know that you are not bad for the car money, doesn't the girl want to make you happy!
"You seem to have forgotten to tell me how much this car is!
"Oh, look at how confused my head is, I'll call the boss to ask for a quote, you wait!" he said, taking out the phone and walking to the side and calling.
Zheng Xudong also followed her to make a phone call and wandered around the parking lot, looking at these imported cars, he was not very interested in luxury cars, but he still liked large SUVs, man, at his age, he still liked that kind of tough, powerful SUV, when he was looking at an imported Mercedes-Benz G63, the salesperson came over," Boss, I just called our manager, the 12-cylinder Audi A8L top version in the outside market is 3.1 million, but boss, if you pick up the car in our company, it will only cost 2.6 million, and you will be 500,000 cheaper. What do you think, are you satisfied with the price?"
In fact, it doesn't matter how much Zheng Xudong has, 3.1 million yuan is less than 500,000 US dollars, a piece of cake. And when he decided to buy Audi A8L, he also checked the price of this car on the Internet, as the salesperson said, the 12-cylinder top version of the Audi A8L cost a little more than three million, but he didn't expect to buy it here to be so cheap, so he asked in disbelief: "Can it be 500,000 cheaper?" Although he doesn't care about this money, he can still save it.
"Of course, since you came to the bonded warehouse of TJ Port, you must be here for the cheapest, if you have a price on the market, who would come here! Boss, you said this is the reason, right!?" Seeing Zheng Xudong nodded and continued: " Boss, I won't lie to you, we specialize in selling parallel imported cars here, and you still buy the top version of the Audi A8L that doesn't sell very well, and it has been seized by the customs for more than half a year, and several factors are combined so the price will be much cheaper than the outside market, but as long as you buy it back and brush the car clean, who knows if your car is seized by the customs or bought through normal channels! You say yes!?"
Zheng Xudong was also moved by the mouth of this female salesperson, in fact, he bought things when he saw them, and he would not keep picking and choosing like women, and in the end he still didn't buy anything. Since he decided to buy an Audi A8L, he saw it and made a move. Thinking of this, he said: "Okay, I heard you say so much, I won't bargain, it's so decided, how to pay, when can I pick up the car?"
The salesperson obviously didn't expect this young man to decide to buy a car directly, and asked with some disbelief: "Don't you have to discuss it with your family?"
"Adult, why don't I look like an adult?" Seeing the stunned appearance of the saleswoman, Zheng Xudong took off his sunglasses and mask and smiled at her.
"Ahh First there was a scream, and then I saw this salesman pounce all of a sudden, "Anton, I love you, I'm your fan, I didn't expect to meet you here today, it's so ... Surprised!"
Zheng Xudong broke free from the arms of female fans and said with a smile: "Let's go, let's finish the procedures for buying a car, I have other things." β
"Okay, okay, follow me in the car and go back to the store to pay. The saleswoman and fan said excitedly, and after getting into the car, the saleswoman said: "Mr. Anton, there is one thing I want to say in advance, you can't pick up the car after you pay the payment today, you can only pick up the car in two or three days." β
"Why?"
"Mr. Anton, this is a bit complicated to say, let me explain it to you carefully. The salesperson began to explain why.
This salesperson was a bit talkative, and he said a lot, and Zheng Xudong finally understood.
Originally, if the imported car wants to go to the vehicle management office to go through the formalities for license plate registration, it must have five documents, the first is the certificate of import of goods, commonly known as the customs form, which is issued by the customs at the place of entry after the vehicle enters the country. It is generally carried with the car. It shows where the vehicle came from, when it arrived at the port, and what company imported it. This list is issued by the customs to prove that you are legally importing a car, and without this order, you are smuggling a vehicle. The second is the import of motor vehicles with the vehicle inspection form, to put it bluntly, is the commodity inspection form, the commodity inspection form shows the vehicle issued place, the place of receipt, the entry information, the basic information of the vehicle, simply put, the commodity inspection form is like a courier order, the company responsible for the import of the vehicle is the consignee, the customs is on behalf of the consignee to inspect the goods, to confirm that there is no problem with the vehicle, in line with the information reported before importation. The third is the vehicle consistency certificate, which records the basic parameters of the vehicle, the fourth is the vehicle invoice, which is the vehicle invoice issued by the seller, and the last one is the electronic information table of imported vehicles. These five certificates are indispensable, and only with these five certificates can you go to the DMV to register and apply for a license. And the last item of the imported vehicle electronic information form is not issued by the seller, is issued by a department called "China Vehicle Technical Service Center", must upload the other four certificate information on the Internet, this agency will issue an electronic information table, with this electronic information sheet traffic management department can query your car on the computer, otherwise the traffic management department can not query the vehicle information. It is also this form issued by the technical service center of the machine, they will review whether the documents you upload are legal (usually legal) within three working days after you upload the other four documents, and if it is legal, this electronic information form will be issued, which is why the sales staff said that they could not pick up the car on the same day, because without this electronic information sheet you can not take the car on the road. Moreover, the relevant departments stipulate that the "five certificates" must be complete before the car can be picked up.
Zheng Xudong finally understood what the salesperson said, and returned to the auto trade city, on the first floor of the auto trade city, Zheng Xudong arrived at Tang Luoyong, who was sweating profusely, Tang Luoyong thought that Zheng Xudong was kidnapped, and he was relieved to see Zheng Xudong, and the saleswoman took Zheng Xudong and Tang Luoyong to the "Sihai International Automobile Sales Company" on the second floor of the auto trade city.
The faΓ§ade is not small, it looks quite powerful, the female saleswoman led Zheng Xudong to the manager's room, and met Chen Liying, the general manager of this company, this is a who has just passed the age of thirty, looks very delicate, has a pair of peach blossom eyes, and is also very enthusiastic about Zheng Xudong, at this time Zheng Xudong finally knew that the salesman's name was Wang Lu.
Because the two parties had already negotiated the price just now, and Wang Lu also explained the reason why he could not pick up the car that day, he was almost paid on the spot, and Zheng Xudong did not grind and directly swiped the Citibank card for 2.6 million, and then the Sihai International Automobile Sales Company issued a receipt for payment and told him to pick up the car and get the "five certificates" two days later.
But what Zheng Xudong didn't expect was that this Audi A8L could also cause a storm...
