Chapter 239: Buying a car

When the bus went in the direction of the concentration of 4S stores, Liao Fanmin was still pondering.

Automobile sales 4S store, in fact, refers to the "four-in-one" service mechanism, the so-called four-in-one, is the vehicle sales, after-sales service, spare parts sales and information feedback integration, to provide customers with the best service.

The four-in-one sales model of brand cars has been running in Europe for a hundred years, but in China, it is still a relatively new industry, after all, if you want to open a 4S store, you need to have sufficient strength, at least the technical personnel and funds must be guaranteed, otherwise even if the 4S store is opened, it will be bleak because of the lack of after-sales service, and eventually even go out of business.

Although he has been driving for more than half a year, and he drives an Audi A6 car, which belongs to the domestic high-end car, Liao Fanmin has no sense of belonging to this car, because this Audi car was not personally selected by him, but bought by Jia Yunmao, Liao Fanmin recognizes the brand of Audi car, but according to his identity, driving an Audi car is still too public, after the internship in the Legislative Affairs Office, Liao Fanmin has always parked the Audi car in the parking lot outside the municipal government, paid the parking fee every day, and did not let the people in the internship unit know that he has this car。

Liao Fanmin has always been accustomed to being low-key, and he is reluctant to come out too much, so let's just say that in terms of treating Yin Jian, Yin Jian is now in full swing and has a huge reputation in the entertainment industry, if Liao Fanmin is willing to contact Yin Jian more, he will definitely become famous in the entertainment industry, but unfortunately after attending Yin Jian's wedding, he has not contacted Yin Jian once.

The bus arrived at the platform, and Liao Fanmin got off.

Raised his wrist and looked at his watch, it was eight twenty o'clock, the time was still early, and it was estimated that the 4S store had not yet opened.

Lighting a cigarette, Liao Fanmin walked towards the 4S store not far away.

The 4S stores in Nanhua City are all concentrated in Handong District, which is determined to be the development zone of Nanhua City, and it is also the place where the future enterprises are concentrated planned by the municipal government.

Even New Century Co., Ltd. has no plans to develop real estate in Handong District.

Liao Fanmin will not put forward such a suggestion, he knows that in the next ten years, the development of Handong District is not satisfactory, because of environmental restrictions, polluting enterprises are not allowed to enter Nanhua City, the development of high-tech industries, it will take a number of years, will gradually enter Handong District, the tertiary industry is focused on the distribution of places in Hannan District and Hanbei District, nearly ten years or so, Handong District because of the inaccurate positioning, lost a lot of development opportunities.

However, 4S stores are the highlight of Handong District, and there will be more and more automobile 4S stores in Handong District in the future.

Of course, the future development of Handong District will become faster and faster because of the gradual correct positioning of the Nanhua Municipal Government, especially after positioning high-tech industrial cities such as Silicon Valley in Handong District, the development of Handong District will enter a high-speed track.

The prosperous situation that will appear after more than ten years will not be very attractive to any businessman, and Liao Fanmin also has little interest in Handong District.

Ren Li's home is in Handong District, which is located at the junction of urban and rural areas, and it takes more than 50 minutes to take a bus to the most prosperous area of Hannan District.

Handong District actually belonged to Liao Fanmin's sad place before his rebirth, but fortunately, he met Ren Li in the Legislative Affairs Office, and through a period of contact, he gradually eliminated his demons.

The wide road, as well as the neatly arranged car 4S shops on the left and right sides of the road, make this place quite a commercial area, but unfortunately out of the car 4S shop, there are almost no other companies.

Shanghai Volkswagen is the largest and most eye-catching brand among all 4S stores, and Shanghai Volkswagen's sales are in the forefront of domestic bicycle sales.

Nowadays, the most popular market is Santana 2000, priced at 180,000 yuan, whether it is Mercedes-Benz BMW, or Audi, sales can not be compared with Santana 2000, according to later statistics, in 2000, Santana 2000 sales reached 190,000 units, which is an astronomical figure for private cars that have not yet been popularized in China.

Liao Fanmin is very clear that from the mid-nineties, until about 2004, the sales of Santana cars in China are outstanding, the establishment of many luxury 4S stores, for Shanghai Volkswagen, but a piece of cake, the market everywhere can find Santana car accessories, whether it is a provincial capital, a city or a county city, any car maintenance point, can repair Santana car, this is probably the biggest advantage of Shanghai Volkswagen.

I have to say that the quality of the Santana sedan is still okay, and the mature technology of Shanghai Volkswagen has fulfilled the sales of the sedan.

However, Liao Fanmin is not very interested in the Santana car.

In the 90s, the positioning of the Santana sedan was the ordinary class, from Poussin to Santana 2000, to the Santana 3000 that left the factory in 2004, all the plans did not attempt to enter the high-end car.

Liao Fanmin, who was reborn, had no idea of buying an ordinary car.

Walking along the road, Liao Fanmin saw many brands of cars or vans.

Santana, Fukang, Jetta, Xiali, Buick, Accord, Geely, Chery, Yueda, Beidouxing, etc., except for a slight stop in front of the 4S store in Buick and Accord, the rest did not stop at all.

When he was about to come to an end, Liao Fanmin finally saw an Audi 4S store, as for the imaginary Mercedes-Benz, BMW, Volvo and other German cars, there is no 4S store at all.

Liao Fanmin was a little confused, he didn't know what was going on, he didn't know about car sales and development trends, and thought that when he arrived at the 4S store, he would be able to buy a good car.

At nine o'clock, many car 4S shops opened one after another.

Not many people came to see the car.

Liao Fanmin hesitated a little and walked into the Audi 4S store that had just opened.

There are almost no ready-made vehicles in the store, and it looks empty.

The middle-aged man who had just opened the door was a little strange when he saw Liao Fanmin who walked in.

"Hey, you're here to see the car. ”

"yes, I want to buy a sedan, or an SUV. ”

"What, do you want to buy an Audi sedan. ”

"Mercedes-Benz, BMW, and Volvo are OK, but I don't see a 4S store that sells these cars. ”

The middle-aged man looked at Liao Fanmin as if he was looking at a monster.

Liao Fanmin also sensed that something was wrong, and looked at the middle-aged man and spoke.

"What's the matter, don't you have these cars? ”

"Do you have an approval from a trading company? ”

"What is the approval of the trading company, what do I need to approve when I buy a car. ”

"Young man, the Mercedes-Benz, BMW and Volvo cars you want to buy, all of them are imported cars, you must have the approval of China Import and Export Automobile Trade Co., Ltd., in order to buy these imported cars, and then buy imported cars, not here, to the import and export trading company to pick up the goods, here 4S shop, selling domestic brand vehicles, or joint venture company vehicles... ”

Liao Fanmin was dumbfounded when he heard this, he never imagined that the purchase of an imported car still needs to have an approval, otherwise he can't buy it at all.

"Didn't you say that you joined TO, there are still restrictions on how to buy a car. ”

The middle-aged man showed a smile on his face, but it was a wry smile.

"Young man, I have the same idea as you, but unfortunately I have been talking about it for a year this year, reducing the tariff on imported cars, and introducing imported cars to a large extent, but unfortunately I have not seen the action for a long time, and I still can't buy imported cars without the approval of the trading company. ”

Seeing Liao Fanmin's disappointed expression, the middle-aged man spoke again.

"Young man, don't blame me for not reminding you that the price of imported cars is very high, the Mercedes-Benz sedan, BMW sedan and Volvo sedan you said, including GM, Ford and Land Rover and other brands, the price is at least seven or eight hundred thousand, or even more than one million yuan, just say that Audi imported sedans, the price is more than six hundred thousand, if you want to buy, you must be prepared enough money, and these vehicles are very inconvenient to maintain, after the problem, you can only go to the designated place to repair, there are no spare parts in other places... ”

Before the middle-aged man finished speaking, Liao Fanmin's interest in buying a car was completely extinguished.

He vaguely remembered that the great development of the domestic automobile manufacturing industry was after joining the WTO, and before that, the domestic automobile manufacturing industry had received too much protection, the quality of the car was poor, the price was high, and there was no competitiveness, which led to the automobile manufacturing industry not wanting to forge ahead and not being able to build good cars at all.

Trade protection really harms people.

"Young man, do you really want to buy a car. ”

"I do need a car. ”

"I advise you to wait, it is said that the country will join the TO next year, and at that time, many car brands will enter the country, and at that time, it is still possible if you want to choose a good imported vehicle. ”

"If I want to buy a sedan right now, what brand is it good to buy. ”

"Of course, the Santana 2000 is good, and there is the Accord sedan, both of which are not very expensive. ”

Liao Fanmin looked at the middle-aged man, and a strange feeling appeared in his mind, this middle-aged man was obviously an employee of the Audi 4S store, but he did not recommend Audi cars, but recommended Volkswagen and Accord cars, which looked too strange.

But looking at the empty store, Liao Fanmin can also understand what the middle-aged man meant.

"Forget it, I'll think about it. ”

"Also, think about it and wait until next year to buy a car, and it will be much better to choose the type. ”

When walking to the bus platform, Liao Fanmin was a little frustrated, he couldn't imagine that it was so difficult to buy a car, and the purchase of imported cars actually required the approval of the trading company, what kind of logic is this, the trading company is not an administrative unit, its nature is an enterprise, what qualifications do you have to issue documents.

It is no wonder that if the domestic automobile manufacturing industry is always protected, the future situation may be even worse, and the smuggling of cars will also become more and more serious.
