Chapter Seventy-Five: The Big Deal (Ask for Recommendation)
Brant came to his repair shop early in the morning, and sighed when he saw the bill on the table.
"Damn the financial crisis, why isn't it over yet?"
"Will I be able to get through this month?"
Glendale is a small town very close to Hollywood, although there are always some tourists who come here for sightseeing or accommodation, but now few people repair cars in the town, they all like to go to Los Angeles to repair or modify, because the car dealerships there are large, not only good service, but also complete accessories.
With the exquisite craftsmanship of the old employees, Brant's business was not bad before the financial crisis, but in the past two years, affected by the economic crisis, the situation has deteriorated, and now it looks like it will not be able to survive.
Either way, as long as he can hold on, Brant doesn't plan to close the repair shop, which is the only inheritance left to him by his deceased father.
Although the business situation is not good, he has not even fired a single old employee, because he promised his father that he will not let these old employees lose their jobs.
Every day he would come here early, and after cleaning alone, he would wait for those uncles to come to work.
Although he was helpless, he couldn't help it, they were all old acquaintances, so he couldn't fire them because he was late, not to mention that there was really nothing to do now.
At most, it is to change the tires or do a maintenance or something for the car that is temporarily out of condition, and as for the high-level work of modification, he has not received it for a long time.
Sitting alone in a chair in a daze, Brant noticed a Ferrari sports car outside, and hurriedly put on a smiling face and went out to greet his big customer.
"Wow, super cool car, it's time to wax, maybe a maintenance, preferably all-round."
"Gentlemen, is there anything I can do for you?"
As soon as he spoke, Brandt sneered and started to sell Ke Zihua Bandi who was sitting in the car, he really wanted to make this deal, so that he didn't have to worry about the damn bill.
Ke Zihua frowned, if Brant didn't say that he hadn't paid attention to it, many of these cars that Jerry or rented and bought were not well maintained. This can't appear in the movie, it seems that it will cost a lot of money again, you must know that these are famous cars, and the price of maintenance is ridiculously high.
Senna knew that they knew about cars, so he blamed Ke Zihua for everything, and asked Bandy to bring a message over and ask him to find a modified place before going to the set.
Bandy was very well-behaved today, and didn't answer Brandt's words, he had already been warned by Senna, and now he didn't want to touch Ke Zihua's moldy head, which was obviously unwise.
Seeing that neither of them answered, Brant was a little anxious, "Both, are you here to repair the car, or do you want to do maintenance?" ”
Ke Zihua said: "You have to do both, and can you be sure that you can do modifications here?" ”
Hearing this, Brant's whole heart trembled, this is definitely a rare big deal, if he can take it, it may be enough for him to last a few more months.
Therefore, his attitude became more attentive, and an old face smiled into a chrysanthemum: "To tell you the truth, we can modify it, not only to ensure that it meets your requirements, but also to be much faster than other places in terms of time!" ”
"The most important thing is that we can give you more discounts, and when you are done with the modifications, you will know how wise it is to choose us."
Ke Zihua didn't listen to his nonsense, but walked towards the repair shop. After just a general sweep, he retreated, and said to Bandy in disappointment: "Let's go, this house can't work." ”
Hearing that he was leaving, Brant hurried to the front of the car to stop them and asked, "You didn't ask anything, just glanced at it a few times, why did you say we can't?" ”
Ke Zihua was very disgusted with Brandt's style, so he said unceremoniously: "You are the boss, right?" Then let me ask you, are you running a hotel or a repair shop? It's so clean, how long has it been since no one came? I think it's enough to do a maintenance, let alone retrofit. ”
"Also, it's almost nine o'clock, isn't it? How could you be alone? Are there no other workers? Or were they fired because of poor management? ”
Brant was suddenly shocked, and thought to himself: "Don't look at his youth, his eyes are really poisonous, just casually glanced at it and guessed it." ”
In fact, it's very simple, just like finding a place to eat when you are eating, the more popular the place, the more people there are, so it is inevitable that there will be a messy situation.
On the other hand, the cleaner the restaurant and the more vacant the restaurant, the less good the reputation.
The situation of the repair shop was clear at a glance, not to mention that Ke Zihua also saw the bill on the table, so he guessed that there must not be many people here.
Seeing that the big black man in the car had already started the car, Brant immediately became anxious, stretched out his hand to grab the car, looked at the two of them with pleading eyes, and said: "Please listen to my explanation, the economic crisis has just passed, so our situation has not improved significantly, but I dare to guarantee that our technology will definitely satisfy you." ”
"I haven't fired any employees, they are all old employees who have been working for more than ten years, so I'll call them and ask them to come over immediately to ensure that they won't delay your trip!"
By the end, Brant was almost yelling that he would never let this big business that had been delivered to his door slip away!
Ke Zihua thought about it, the economic crisis has indeed had a bad impact on many industries, and seeing that he was anxious, he should be true, so he decided to stay and take a look.
So he motioned for Bandy to put out the fire, and said to Brandt, "We'll only wait twenty minutes, and if you can't convince me after twenty minutes, it's useless to say anything." ”
"Thank you, thank you! I'll call them all. ”
After Brandt thanked him, he hurriedly rushed into the repair shop, picked up the phone and began to gather people, and soon Ke Zihua saw that two middle-aged men in their forties had rushed here.
In less than twenty minutes, more than a dozen people came one after another, all of them were middle-aged and elderly uncles. Maybe it's been a long time since I've had such a good car, and at first they waited quietly, but then someone whispered.
"Tut, this car is really good, but this paint is not sprayed correctly, it is not the original paint at all."
"You look at the rear tires and brake pads, it's really a loser, how many times do you have to burn the tires to wear like this?"
"Shhh
Although this scene made Ke Zihua laugh, he had already recognized the repair factory, and it could be heard from their discussions that these were experienced old employees.
It's Bandy who feels hot on his face, he doesn't know how many drifts Sa Huan did last night, the brake pads may not have much to do with him, but the tires definitely have something to do with him.
Seeing that the employees were almost there, Brant came to the car again and asked with a smile: "My employees are basically here, I believe you have heard what they said, this car really needs to be maintained, can you decide to do it here now?" ”
Ke Zihua asked: "Whether it's maintenance or modification, you don't need so many people, who are you going to let do it?" ”
Without even thinking about it, Brandt turned back to the crowd and said, "Old Eevee, you come to spray paint; Parker, you do the interior cleaning; Jack, the tires and brakes are up to you, and you're the best at this. ”
"Bruce and York, come over and talk to our big patron and see how he wants to be modified."
Then he said to Ke Zihua: "I can guarantee that they are the most experienced employees!" ”
Ke Zihua asked again: "Let's not talk about modification, if I hand over the full set of maintenance to you, how long will it take at the earliest?" ”
Brandt stretched out a finger and said with great certainty: "One day, this time tomorrow, you will be able to pick up the car!" ”
Ke Zihua nodded, "What if it's twenty?" ”
"What!"
Hearing him say this, everyone gasped, and Brant felt his heart almost skipping out, and asked incredulously, "This, is this true?" Really twenty cars? All maintenance? A full set? Will you also do modifications? ”
Ke Zihua nodded, "Maintenance and modification can't be done all, but this is only part of it, and there will be more cars in the future." ”
Hearing him say this, Brant was almost fainting with happiness, "God, I'm really lucky today, I didn't expect to run into such a big deal!" ”
"Is this true? With so many cars, which crew is it? ”
Thinking of this, Brandt said, "You're from the crew, right?" If you can do it all for us, the price is negotiable! ”
Ke Zihua didn't want to negotiate the price, it was Senna's business, and he didn't want to get involved in it, so he asked, "You haven't sued me yet, it will take a few days at the earliest." ”
"Seven days! I promise to do this in a week! ”
"Just maintenance? Or does retrofitting count as well? ”
In order to be able to take over this big business, Brant also gave up, although he knew that it would be difficult, but he still gritted his teeth and agreed: "All!" ”
"However, I still hope that you can take away some of the vehicles that are urgently needed first, and the rest that cannot be used for the time being, we can do it in two days at night, so that there will be more time and we can be more meticulous."
It was only at this time that Ke Zihua showed a satisfied smile, what he wanted was this honest sentence, if he couldn't pay the car when he spent the money, it would delay the filming of the crew.
The most important thing is that he has to make sure that the modified car can meet his requirements.
So, Ke Zihua said to Brant: "Later, someone will come to you, and how to negotiate the price is your business." ”
"I'll go back first, and we'll talk about the modification in detail in the afternoon."
It wasn't until the two disappeared from sight that Brant turned around in a daze and asked in disbelief, "Is this true?" ”
Seeing that the negotiation became a big business, the old employees were also very happy, and they automatically ignored the trance-like boss Brant.
They all talked excitedly: "Haha, after this business is done, I will be able to pay off the mortgage." ”
"yes, I can go hunting in Alaska too, which is something I've been looking forward to for more than 20 years, and I'm excited to think about it now."
"Praise be to God!"
Seeing the cheering appearance of the old employees, Brant's eyes were a little red, "It's been a long time since I've seen them so happy, these damn people, and no one came to comfort me." ”
