140. Buy a car (2/15, ask for a monthly pass!) )
Foreigners can exchange their driver's license after coming to New Zealand, if it is a Chinese driver's license, then you need to find a translation company to translate the driver's license, so that you can drive in New Zealand for a year.
For example, the Bibby brothers can directly exchange their American driver's licenses with the New Zealand Transport Safety Authority, and convert them into a temporary New Zealand driver's license.
When the cowboys arrived in New Zealand, the first thing Bowen took them to do was to replace their driver's licenses, and driving without a license is a serious crime in this country, which usually requires a period of time in prison.
Because cowboys come to New Zealand on visas, they will be deported directly if they break the law.
This is also the reason why local farmers and ranchers are willing to use foreign cowboys, they dare not commit crimes, otherwise they will be repatriated and there will be no chance of making money in New Zealand.
Wang Bo wanted to buy a car for a long time, but he didn't have a driver's license, and the money in his hand was relatively tight, so he never bought it, but he had already cleared the routine of buying a car.
New Zealand is not only a country that rides on the back of a sheep, but like Europe and the United States, they are also a country that lives on wheels, and there is a lot of information about new and used car transactions on the Internet and in newspapers.
Resources for selling cars legally can be found in the fact sheet on the New Zealand National Transport Safety Agency's website, which registers car trading markets in hundreds of towns and cities across the country, which is convenient and legal.
Wang Bo took Charlie and his party to buy a car, and he borrowed their Toyota family car from Barbara's family, and a total of two cars and eight people went to Omarama.
According to Lao Wang's meaning, they first went to Aocheng to find an automobile association to help inspect the car, the car inspection here is not to verify the use of the car, he does not buy second-hand cars, not afraid of being fooled.
Automobile associations can help provide new car inspections, formalities and other services for a very low fee, which is a preferential treatment given by the association to car owners.
Charlie and the others shook their heads and said that there was no need to be so troublesome, they were all experts, and it was easy to buy a new car.
Since all his subordinates had made promises, Lao Wang had no reason to distrust them, so he went straight to the car dealership.
The most common cars in New Zealand are Japanese cars, which are fuel-efficient, beautiful and cheap, and fit the family style.
Two cars were speeding down the street, and a large sign with LMVD on it appeared in their field of vision, and the Mexican boy drove the car past with a dozen steering wheels.
LMVD is an abbreviation for Licensed Car Dealership, which operates in accordance with legal procedures, and there are also private car sales companies in New Zealand that sometimes sell defective cars.
The LMVD sells Toyota, which is now the leading big brother in the New Zealand car market, and both German Volkswagen and American cars have to bow down to it.
Wang Bo and his gang got out of the car and walked to the store, and Charlie asked, "Do you want to buy a Japanese car?" ”
As a researcher of Chinese information in New Zealand, he is clear about the hatred between China and Japan.
Wang Bo shrugged and said: "Let's go first, I just need the right car, what brand of car to say." ”
As a result, as soon as he entered the door, he saw a face he didn't like very much, Downton Huesman, and the two had met at a charity auction held by Eva's school.
At the beginning, Eva introduced that Downton was the owner of a Toyota 4S store, and Lao Wang had forgotten about it just now, otherwise he wouldn't have walked in.
Seeing eight guests come to the car shop, Downton greeted him warmly, with his experience, so many people come to buy a car, it is definitely not to buy a car.
So the two men who didn't like each other faced each other, and after discovering Wang Bo, Downton frowned, but still maintained his professional demeanor and asked, "What car do you want to buy?" Need my help? ”
Wang Bo put aside his prejudice against this young man and said, "We need a pickup truck, take us to see the pickup truck." ”
Hearing this, Downton's enthusiasm diminished a lot, pickup trucks are also known as farmer cars, don't look at the high prices of some top pickup trucks in China, in fact, in a large agricultural country like New Zealand, pickup trucks are only the cheapest family cars.
At this time, another father and son walked in, and Downton walked over with a smile on his face when he saw it, and asked, "Hey, William, you must be planning to take your son to see that road god of war, right?" Come, follow me, I've got it ready for you. ”
As soon as Downton said this, Wang Bo knew that he and the father and son knew each other, and if he explained that he was receiving old customers, it would be nothing.
However, Downton left without saying a word just now, which is a bit hurtful.
The faces of the group were a little unbearable, and Bowen said angrily: "Man, can you do business wholeheartedly?" You still have guests here. ”
Downton casually pointed to the exhibition hall and said: "The pickup truck is there, you go and see, I have VIP customers here, I will not accept you for the time being." ”
Lazy to stay here, Wang Bo shook his head and said: "Let's go, besides, I don't want to buy a Japanese car, and it's still unreliable to use Japanese pickups." ”
He's a customer, he's a spender, so there's no need to be angry here.
The big cowboy Cousins immediately nodded and said in agreement: "The pickup truck must buy a Ford or Chevrolet, this is the farmer's car." ”
When the two said this, Downton, as the owner of Toyota, felt offended, and his face suddenly became ugly. He didn't think about whether the practice of dumping Wang Bo and his party to receive other customers just now was equally offensive.
Looking at Wang Bo, Downton frowned and said, "Shet, two gentlemen, you can clearly see that this is Toyota's territory, do you need to be responsible for speaking?" ”
"Understood." Wang Bo nodded seriously, and then continued, "But Toyota pickup trucks are rotten cars in pickup trucks, this is a well-known fact, isn't it?" Also, what is said to be responsible? Do I want to be shot if I say something like this? Am I not in New Zealand but in North Korea? ”
The commander standing on his shoulder gave Downton a disdainful look and exclaimed, "Ah, stupid! ”
Downton was obviously not a good-tempered guy, and he was about to get angry when he stared at him, when an employee grabbed him and whispered: "Boss, for God's sake, we open the door for business, not for fighting." And lo and behold, there are still customers. ”
Hearing this, Downton calmed down a bit, he glared at Wang Bo hatefully, turned around to entertain the father and son again, and deliberately said loudly: "Don't care, William, it's just a few clowns who can't afford to buy a Toyota car deliberately say sour things." ”
Several cowboys were short-tempered, and Edison, who looked like a bandit, said viciously: "I've never seen such a boss who is so badly beaten, to be honest, guys, can anyone sue me that he is really a boss?" The boss who drove the guests out? ”
