Chapter 127: Catching a Mercedes-Benz
Chen Zhiping finally came out of the Foreign Trade Bureau, and after completing the resignation procedures, he was relaxed, and now it was time for him to show his strength. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
And Xia Xiaomo's side was also very smooth, and almost at the same time as Chen Zhiping, he completed the resignation procedures and came to Danfeng Garden to live.
Of course, Xia Xiaomo is living with Chen Zhiping, but she is embarrassed to sleep in the same room with Chen Zhiping, but sleeps in the same room by herself. Because there is also a beautiful woman next door, that is Shao Shuangying.
Shao Shuangying really moved to Jin Suxi's house to live, but after she and Xia Xiaomo met, they didn't get along very well as Chen Zhiping expected, like sisters. Shao Shuangying would come over to eat after work, and she didn't go back until late, which was actually equivalent to living with Chen Zhiping and Xia Xiaomo.
With Shao Shuangying's help, the registration of a computer company was also relatively smooth. Now everything is only owed to Dongfeng, that is, to get Lenovo headquarters to negotiate, Chen Zhiping wants to win the only agency of Lenovo computer in Yindu.
Of course, before that, you still have to wait for the company to be registered. Chen Zhiping thought that the company was going to start, so he had to buy a car, and he and Xia Xiaomo had to have a mobile phone, otherwise it would be inconvenient to do business without a mobile phone, let alone without a car. In these years, everyone has to look at what kind of car you drive, and if it is bad, no one wants to talk to you.
Chen Zhiping originally wanted to buy a mobile phone for Shao Shuangying, but Shao Shuangying said that she didn't need it, she worked in a government department, but she used a mobile phone worth tens of thousands of yuan, which was not suitable.
On this day, Chen Zhiping and Xia Xiaomo were ready to go to the department store to buy mobile phones.
Chen Zhiping knew that the mobile phone at this time was not only very expensive, but also the phone bill was also unaffordable for ordinary people, and the other was the mobile phone at this time, which was too big and did not have a large color screen, and it could only be said that it was very low in appearance, and he wanted to buy Xia Xiaomo a good-looking mobile phone. And he himself can use the traditional black bricks, which is a little more business-oriented.
This is an era when there is no screen with 16 million hair colors, no camera that Chen Zhiping is accustomed to, no large-screen full-touch control design, no smartphone operating system, and even text messages have not yet been popularized.
In 1995, Ericsson GH337 became the first GSM network mobile phone to enter the Chinese mainland market. It can be said that the people who can afford to buy mobile phones at this time are either big money or second mothers or something.
It was the first time for Xia Xiaomo to come to the mall to look at her phone, but the big guys in the counter were really not good-looking, and she felt very embarrassed.
It looks like the Ericsson GH337 is still a little smaller. It's more suitable for her. I had no choice but to buy this. Chen Zhiping chose a Nokia9000, which is Nokia's first real smartphone, adding the function of sending and receiving faxes, emails and messages, connecting to the Internet, and equipped with a full keyboard. Although it is larger, it is more powerful, which is just worthy of a business person like Chen Zhiping.
Of course, the price of these two phones is very scary.
You must know that in 1992, analog mobile phones entered China, and at that time they were called Big Brother, and the price was about 20,000 yuan per unit, and the standard for accessing the network was 5,000 yuan per number; at the end of 1993, the price of "Big Brother" dropped to 18,000 yuan per unit; in 1994, the price was slightly reduced, and the network access fee remained at 3,000 to 5,000 yuan; from January to March 1995, the price of "Big Brother" was reduced to 8,000 yuan per unit, and the network access fee was reduced to 2,000 to 3,000 yuan per unit.
In today's view, spending 20,000 yuan, 18,000 yuan or 8,000 yuan to buy a mobile phone is still quite a luxury, and naturally, at that time, having a big brother symbolized status and status.
By 96 years, the analog Big Brother has also become a digital mobile phone, but the price is still as high as thousands of yuan, and the network access fee and telephone fee are also something that ordinary people dare not think about.
It took a total of more than 15,000 to get the mobile phone thing, and the monthly phone bill in the future is also calculated by the number of minutes, but this is also a small matter for Chen Zhiping.
After buying a mobile phone, Chen Zhiping took Xia Xiaomo to see the car again.
At this time, there are not many cars on the road, that is, there are more taxis, basically FAW Xiali, but at this time, even Xiali is about 100,000.
Of course, Chen Zhiping didn't plan to buy a low-end car like Xiali, how can he do business without a good car?
If you want to say the best boss car, of course, it is the German Mercedes-Benz. It is named after the inventor of the car, and the history of the development of the car can be traced back to the eighties of the seventeenth century, when the German inventor Karl Benz built the locomotive, and the era of the automobile began.
As for BMW, it is particular about handling and seems to be exclusive to the nouveau riche.
Chen Zhiping and Xia Xiaomo came to the Auto Trade City, at this time there is no special Mercedes-Benz 4S store, after all, in a small place like Yindu, you can't buy a Mercedes-Benz car, but it happens that today is an auto show, and it is really a 1993 Mercedes-Benz C-class car, although in the future, Mercedes-Benz at this time is a bit old-fashioned, but in the nineties it was a classic design, and Mercedes-Benz represents the identity of the owner.
When Chen Zhiping and Xia Xiaomo, who were like a bird, came to look at the show car, the car buying consultant saw that they wanted to buy the car.
A consultant lady hurriedly walked up to Chen Zhiping and said with a smile: "Sir, have you taken a fancy to this Mercedes-Benz C-class?"
Chen Zhiping smiled and said, "Yes, do you sell this car?"
The consultant said in surprise: "Sell, of course we sell! Please allow me to introduce this car to you, and if you are satisfied, you can also test drive." ”
Chen Zhiping smiled: "Okay, just tell me what is good about this car!"
Miss Consultant poured another cup of tea for Chen Zhiping and Xia Xiaomo, and then took out another piece of information, while introducing: "Sir, Miss, this is the imported Mercedes-Benz C-class car that we brought back from the provincial capital from the auto trade city last week, it is a classic 1993 model, but we only have black now, if you want other colors, I'm afraid it will take some time." ”
Chen Zhiping smiled: "I originally wanted to buy black. You must know that the luxury car can only show its prestige with black paint, and the C-Class is the best-selling model in the Mercedes-Benz lineup. It's smaller than both the S-Class and the E-Class, and has an average fuel consumption of just 8.5 litres per 100 km, with the most advanced multi-link independent rear overhang, a variety of safety systems as standard, and it comes with full-size airbags, full-size crash protection, ABS, power steering, automatic 4-speed transmission, central door lock, am I right?"
The consultant was dumbfounded, the person who bought the car knew the performance configuration of the car better than her, the car seller, which made her face red.
