Chapter 122: Red Coral Buddha Statue
After eating, sending Tan Moxuan away, Li Yi decided to go to the 4S store to have a look, two today, three tomorrow, optimistic about paying tomorrow afternoon, completing the formalities on Monday morning, it is estimated that he will be able to drive the car home after work. ¢£
After checking it, the most convenient BMW 4S store is near Mingjia Center, and the subway line 10 is directly there, so Li Yi decided to go there first.
Among the models he chose, the BMW X5 is the most pleasing to the eye, and the Mercedes-Benz is also good, but it would be better to be shorter. As for Cayenne, he didn't like the front face, but other people's fame was there, and he didn't hate it on the whole. It is said that the Q7 is very in line with his aesthetics, but the car is too big, and the ground clearance is relatively low, so put it back, the Range Rover is too tough, the reason why it is also put on, the main reason is to try the car if you want to be in the mood, feel it.
On the weekend, it was afternoon again, so there were a lot of people in the 4S store, Li Yi waited for a while, and then a service commissioner wearing a white shirt and a short black skirt came to receive him, and introduced himself as Li Man.
Hearing that Li Yi wanted to buy X5, the little girl showed a lot of enthusiasm, and when she heard Li Yi say that it was the first time to see the car, and BMW was only the first one, her enthusiasm diminished, but she still introduced it very dutifully.
X5The new model is only 40E, and there is no car to try, Li Man strongly recommends the 3.0 displacement of the 35i Huaxia Limited Edition, the naked car price is 958,000, 20,000 decoration gift packages, and a year of maintenance and car insurance, plus more than 80,000 purchase taxes, the total car is almost 1.05 million.
This model can be tested, but an appointment is required, and it will be tomorrow morning at the earliest, and this model is not currently available, and it will take almost a month to mention the car if you book it.
Seeing that Li Yi was a little disappointed, Li Man smiled and said:
"Sir, in fact, the models you are going to see, because they are all purely imported, basically there will be no existing cars, especially Range Rover, I heard that there will be a 30% price increase."
She shrugged her shoulders, spread her hands, and made a very delicate movement,
"We are poor, so we can't understand."
Li Yi was amused, he thought about it and asked:
"Which models are available?"
"I don't think you can see it...... By the way, sir, if you find the right model, when do you plan to buy it? Years ago or years later? ”
"It's right, I bought it directly when I saw the right one, I thought, I shouldn't wait until Monday, right?"
Li Man listened and secretly rolled his eyes, this product is either pretending to be forced or really rich, but looking at the way he speaks, the possibility of being rich will be greater, and he can't be allowed to run to other stores!
was pondering, and suddenly saw that Li Yi had already begun to walk out, and hurriedly chased after him,
"Sir, I can arrange for you to test the car right away, but I need your cooperation, and I must say that you are here to buy a second-hand car. Yes, the normal test car has to queue up, but our second-hand car service center happens to have a X5 of the same model, last year's car, the mileage is less than 30,000 kilometers, you will be like this later, this and so ......"
Li Man originally wanted to make the test test a little more troublesome, which was likely to leave a better impression on Li Yi. A good impression of her means a good impression of BMW, and many times, such a small opportunity can grab a customer to come. Because the car has reached this level, unless those who have specific requirements for the brand, the performance, appearance and even price of the car are no longer decisive factors.
Therefore, when they were training, the manager repeatedly reminded them that if people sell well, cars will sell well!
But what she didn't expect was that Li Yi heard that it was so troublesome, not only to lie, but also to make her bear a certain risk, so he refused directly, turned around and was about to leave!
It's a claw machine!
Li Man urgently turned his little head while sending Li Yi off, or should he simply break his promise and arrange a test drive for him immediately? No, wouldn't that prove that she was lying just now, and it's definitely worse than letting him go like this! But if what he said is true, if he picks up the car tomorrow, this release is a release of a million performance!
Don't think that the days of the BMW 4S store will be better!
When I was at a loss, I suddenly saw the test driver running over with water, and I couldn't help asking,
"Wang Heng, what's wrong?"
"Don't say it, it's unlucky, I went to wash that second-hand X5 just now, and I was doused by Liu Xiang, this kid!"
Li Man's eyes lit up,
"Can you try the car now?"
"Yes, the car is in good condition!"
When Li Man heard this, his excited little hand clenched into a fist and secretly made a pull rod action.
"Mr. Li, you also heard, that car can be tried! Why don't I arrange for you to do a lap? ”
Li Yi thought about it, it's okay, anyway, there is still time, don't delay the next one.
Li Man asked for Li Yi's driver's license, and then quickly ran back to the store to complete the test procedures, and led Li Yi straight to the underground garage.
As soon as he entered the garage, Li Man began to keep pressing the key on his hand, and after a while, Li Yi saw the lights flashing not far away, and then saw a brand-new, brightly painted black X5.
Get in the car, ignite without a key, hang gear, release the brakes, and lightly step on the accelerator, like a big shark hunting in the dark, the X5 quietly slid out of the parking space.
"BMW pays attention to the driver's driving experience, while Mercedes-Benz pays more attention to the riding experience, so there is a saying that driving a BMW and riding a Mercedes-Benz. And BMW's design is more sporty, which is preferred by young people in general. Mr. Li can feel that in terms of acceleration, the 8-speed gearbox is very smooth, and our turbo will intervene at a low speed of 1750 rpm......"
The Third Ring Road was too blocked, so Li Man hurried to introduce it while guiding Li Yi to drill around in the alley, and somehow suddenly turned onto a road with fewer cars.
"Now, Mr. Li, you can have a good feel for the fun of driving a BMW."
Li Yi nodded, began to accelerate, and then slowed down and merged, S-corner, braked...... After some experience, he had to admit that this money is not the same when he has paid enough, compared with this thing, the Haval at home is a tin toy!
The most obvious thing about this car is the S curve, not only is the S drawn almost twice as small as the Haval, but also there is almost no sense of roll or tail flicking!
After parking the car in the garage, Li Man began to introduce the interior, and Li Yi had already noticed that there was a small dark red Buddha statue under the front windshield, so he took the opportunity to ask.
"Oh, that's the original owner of this car, because it was glued straight on, and if you take it off, it might damage the interior, so it's always been there. But if the new owner doesn't like it in the future, we'll take it down and take care of the interior restoration......"
Li Man said as he touched the Buddha statue with his hand to show that it was indeed glued.
Li Yi stretched his head over and took a look, then looked at it again, blinked his eyes, and looked at it again, how is this Nima a little familiar!
It's not the Buddha statue that looks familiar, although it's often seen. What Li Yi is familiar with is that the material used to make the Zuò Buddha statue, how does he look at it and how does it feel like red coral......
Li Man was by his side, so it was not easy to test his eyesight, so Li Yi directly touched it,
"Achilla Red Coral, Black-Red, 54 g, Japan."
Li Yi saw a Aka red coral at the small auction where he got He Shou Wu, which was a string of Buddhist beads, which is said to have been worn by Shen Baozhen, a famous minister in the late Qing Dynasty, and the final price was 110,000 yuan.
Later, he specifically checked some information and guessed that most of the Buddhist beads were not Acre red coral, because if it was really Acre, the price would not be at all. The material of the beads is mostly the most common sardine coral.
Moreover, he remembered very well that Wang Lao, who was in charge of the auction at that time, said that the top-grade Aka cost more than 20,000 grams, and Chang Lao also expressed his dissatisfaction, saying that he misled consumption. Later, he checked the information to figure out what was going on.
The price of any piece of jewelry is all about grade. The grade of jewelry is subject to many factors, such as weight, color, quality, origin and other factors.
Specific to the Aka red coral, the Japanese deep sea is the best, the common color is generally divided into five grades, orange red, vermilion, red, crimson, black red, the redder the better.
In terms of quality, whether it is the ring surface, beads, carvings, or pendants of Aka coral, there will generally be white cores, that is, white spots. Among them, the white cores are large and small, with different shapes, some are only the size of a needle tip, and some are even the size of a soybean or larger, and the shape is also different.
Generally speaking, the fewer white cores, the better, of course, the kind that is evenly distributed or has a natural pattern.
Finally, when it comes to weight, of course, the greater the weight of a single piece of jewelry, the higher the price, but the higher this is definitely a geometric progression. Because the larger the individual jewelry, the larger the raw material used, the more precious it is!
Just like an Acre that can only grind out 5 mm of coral beads, and Aka that can grind 10 mm of coral beads, the price is absolutely not the same, both are top-notch, and the unit price of the latter is several times more expensive!
Therefore, Wang Lao said that the top Aka red coral is more than 20,000 grams, but because it has nothing to do with the string of Buddha beads, Chang Lao is not wrong to say that he is misleading.
In fact, later Li Yi also saw more than 20,000 US dollars of Aka red coral on the Internet!
He judged that even if the materials used in the small Buddha statue in front of him could not reach more than 20,000 US dollars per gram, more than 20,000 soft girl coins per gram...... Absolutely can't buy it!
