Even if Hong Tao is not engaged in finance, he has probably heard of the Plaza Agreement in '87, so he is the head of the road, and he listened to that Barton in a daze, and finally seemed to believe that American cars are indeed inferior to Japanese cars.

"That'...... How about this twenty-five thousand, this forty-five thousand?" Patton made one of the biggest taboos of selling things, and he couldn't lower the price first, and once this opening was opened, unless you falsely reported too much, you would easily be touched by someone to find a low price.

"You still haven't figured out the situation of this car in our country, you see, let me tell you the difference between buying a car in our country and buying a car in your country......!

"Twenty thousand! Forty thousand! This is the lowest price, no matter how low it is, there is no point in selling, I can't explain it to Roy!" When Hong Tao told Barton about China's national situation like a lotus flower, the sweat on Barton's face came down, gritted his molars and stretched out a few fingers, and the price was lowered again!

"You see, Barton, I have great respect for you as a person, you are a good man of integrity, and your willingness to fight for the interests of your friends is a commendable character. But it also depends on the time, for example, now, if you don't sell this car, your friends won't get a penny, you look at the condition of the car, if you don't maintain it, I'm afraid these two cars will be scrapped, in fact, now their condition is not very good, just now I heard the voice of the motive...... "Hong Taotong guò just a moment ago, has figured out some of this Barton's personal situation, first of all, he himself has a car. And he wasn't very good at cars, so Hong Tao began to give Barton a mechanical lesson from the perspective of an automotive expert.

"Hong, I'm going to guard against you from now on. Always on guard against you, Barton was tortured by you, and you talked to him for forty minutes for a little money! I think the price of the goods I brought back to you should be too low, because you haven't talked to me about the price for even five minutes!" When Hong Tao and Barton reached a final price, Ralph began to express his opinion.

"If you dare to raise a penny more, I will find someone to snatch Jiang away. You're going to beat the single!" Hong Tao was already dry-mouthed, and he didn't have time to talk nonsense with Ralph anymore.

"Well, I surrendered. You have to tell Jiang about this, I surrendered for her, I love her, she is my ......" Ralph really stopped discussing the price with Hong Tao. But he began to confess again.

"Stop! You can go and talk to Jiang yourself. Let's talk about this formalities first, since the embassy is going to throw the car out, what should I do with this license plate?" Hong Tao didn't have time to act as a microphone between the two of them, and directly interrupted Ralph's chatter.

"The car will go to Patton's name, but he won't pay a penny, you pay, it's as simple as that. Ralph shrugged.

"When will the formalities be completed, and when will I get the car?" Hong Tao thought this method was very good.

"The money is paid off, and the two of you sign an agreement privately. The car can be driven away, as for the formalities...... You know. This is in a foreign country, very slow, but it doesn't affect your driving, I swear!But you were too ruthless just now, three cars, only 55,000 yuan in total, and I used up all my commissions, I was going to help you......" Ralph began to complain, he originally wanted to please both sides, but he didn't expect Hong Tao to be so able to toss, and in the end he suffered too much.

"Five thousand! One price!" Hong Tao didn't want to fight with this profiteer anymore, and he would have to use him in the future, and he still had to give sweetness.

"Hahahaha...... Hong, you are a generous person, I knew you would not embarrass your friends......" Ralph was like changing his face in a performance, and the expressions of the whole family who had just died were swept away, and he immediately showed a heartfelt smile.

"By the way, Ralph, if you have this kind of special car in the future, you must remember to tell me as soon as possible, and I will give you a commission, I like these mechanical things. Hong Tao felt that he had stumbled upon something interesting again, so he collected these old cars or motorcycles at home and abroad. It is enough to touch it yourself on the domestic side, but if you want to buy original products made abroad, you still have to rely on Ralph, a profiteer.

"It's good to be rich, I also like cars and motorcycles, to be honest, you don't suffer at all when you buy these three cars, and the unlucky Americans make you miserable, the price you give is not enough for the price of his car, not counting the cost of his modification. Ralph actually dared to say that he still had hobbies, Hong Tao and he had been in contact many times, and he had never heard him say what he liked, and the only thing he liked was money.

"You still know this?" Hong Tao didn't quite believe Ralph's words.

"Men's preferences are pretty much the same, cigars, wine, cars, yachts, beautiful women...... Why can't I like cars? I should know a lot more than you!" Ralph heard the disdain in Hong Tao's tone, and was very dissatisfied with Hong Tao's attitude.

"Ok, we have a proverb in China, just talk about it and don't practice fake tricks, how much do you know, and after two days the car will drive back, and you will talk to me about the real thing. No matter how eloquently Ralph said it, Hong Tao still didn't believe it.

As soon as Sunday arrived, Hong Tao took the money, and together with Ralph and Ms. Jiang, he finally drove the three cars back and parked directly in the courtyard behind the small second floor. Ms. Jiang must have left Hong Tao washing the car, but Ralph couldn't escape, and was caught by Hong Tao, and the two of them tossed and turned buckets, rags, and brushes, and finally restored the three dusty cars to their proper appearance.

If you want to talk about the appearance, Hong Tao still likes the CJ-7 the most, it is the hardest, the unlucky Roy obviously did not work this car, many original parts have been replaced with stainless steel, and the suspension system has been adjusted, and the coarser tires have been replaced, and a slogan has been sprayed on the cover: simple as pebbles, hard as high-carbon steel!

For this slogan, Hong Tao deeply agreed, this Jeep off-road vehicle produced by AMC (American Motor Company) in 198O, is indeed synonymous with simplicity, practicality, and ruggedness. Its 4.2-liter displacement in-line six-cylinder motor power is not to say, according to our standards, this is already a big horse-drawn car, and this displacement is also a representative of the oil-rich period in the United States, the designers of this era do not consider the problem of fuel consumption at all, especially American cars, all of them are fuel guzzlers.

The identity of Mr. Roy's military attache is destined to be not a safe person, this CJ-7 was already very strong, but he was still not satisfied, so the front and rear leaf spring suspension of the entire car was also modified by him, and 14-inch shock absorbers were also installed, and the fuel tank, motor, transfer case and transmission system under the car were also equipped with steel plate protectors, plus stone tires, and I didn't know that he planned to use this car to China to climb that mountain, but unfortunately it was not used in the end, and it was cheaper for Hong Tao.

But if you like it, Hong Tao can't drive it out, because this is a convertible Jeep, and the appearance is too dazzling, and it is estimated that there is no same model in Manjing, which is too eye-catching and easy to cause trouble. Even if you don't drive out often, you have to put it in a soft-top car first, so that no one can see who is driving in the car at a glance.

Compared with this CJ-7, the Cherokee is much more honest, with a champagne-colored coat and a square body, no matter how honest it looks, and this car has not been modified, it is all Chrysler's appearance when it left the factory. It was only off the assembly line at the end of 84, and it has only been a year out of now, and the unlucky guy has not driven much, it is basically equivalent to a new car, and there are only less than 2,000 kilometers on the kilometer meter, and even the mileage of maintenance has not been driven enough.

In the end, there was the big Harley, Ralph really knew more than Hong Tao, and he came prepared, and specially found an American Harley modification magazine to prove how true his words were. The motorcycle that Hong Tao bought was printed in the magazine, as for why the word AMF was written on the fuel tank instead of Harley, mainly because Harley was still under the umbrella of AMF at this time.

According to the magazine, the specific model of this car should be F1TtourG1IDE, which translates to Glide, probably Lao Mei wants to use this name to reflect the stability and agility of this motorcycle. Like the CJ-7, this motorcycle was factory in 198O, and according to Ralph, if it had been a year later, Harley-Davidson would have bought it back from AMF, and at that point the logo on the tank would have been changed back to Harley's.

No matter what the trademark is, this car Hongtao is not going to drive out anyway, at least it can't be driven before the 9O years, because its color is too sullen, it is actually lotus color, and there is an emerald green ribbon in the middle of the body on both sides, which runs through the entire body from the middle of the fuel tank, and finally ends in the lower part of the trunk on both sides of the rear wheel. According to Hong Tao's aesthetic point of view, he thought the paint was very good-looking, and until now, he really wanted to meet the unlucky military attaché, because he now had an unexpected aesthetic consistency between the two of them.

In addition to the color, the various stainless steel metal accessories and the raised exhaust pipe shape of this motorcycle are also too exaggerated, especially on the two trunks on both sides of the rear wheel, there is actually a half-naked big beauty. So Hong Tao plans to maintain this motorcycle and that CJ-7 first, change the oil when it should be changed, change the lubricating oil when it should be changed, and then put it in the warehouse, ride a few laps in the yard every week, or drive out for a spin, and warm up.
