Genius remembers in a second [Aishang Novel Network biquge.info] to provide you with wonderful novels to read.
Thanks to Clinton, one of the best presidents in the past 2o years, the U.S. economy, which has just finished shearing the wool from the Japanese, has been developing rapidly throughout the 9o years, although the actual comparable income of the people has not increased, but the more relaxed credit environment has made the people's wallets seem to have become much looser, and the large-physique, large-displacement car is the favorite of the American people, second-hand cars? Sorry, but who's going to buy a used car?
This result directly leads to the fact that from the 9o years to the 2oo5 years, used car dealers in the United States had a hard time. In this context, it is not difficult to find a second-hand car dealer who is willing to sell.
Sam's Car is one such second-hand car dealership, located on the outskirts of Khost...... In fact, almost every used car dealer is located in the suburbs, where land is cheaper...... The area is not small, it is a car dealership in the middle and lower of the scale of countless large and small second-hand car dealers in the United States, and all the second-hand car dealers in the country, although the benefits of Sam's car dealership are not bad, but they are not good, the typical can not hold up and starve to death, regardless of Sam's car dealership The owner Mr. Sam is a more ambitious person, he believes that in the next 1o years, new car sales are the most profitable business, as for second-hand cars? Then forget it, he has had enough of this feeling of living a life that can't hold on, starve, and can't die.
In Sam's opinion, he sold this second-hand car dealership and used the money to sell new cars or invest in the stock market, and the money he made in a year was at least several times the annual profit of running this second-hand car dealership.
In order to get out of the dealership as much as possible, Sam placed advertisements in newspapers in Horst and throughout Texas. But the effect is not very ideal, and the used car dealers in the whole of Texas are ready to sell not 1oo but also 8o. Want to get out of the dealership? It's so hard!
But in Sam's opinion, today is his lucky day: he actually received a call asking for a quote!
This is the first inquiry call in the past half a month!
"Yes yes sir, my dealership is for sale and I assure you that my dealership is definitely one of the best used car dealerships in the whole of Horst, we have a great view, plenty of space and facilities. Not only do we have the best sales and the best maintenance technicians, but we even have our own gas station......" Sam desperately encouraged his clever words, hoping to be able to come over and see for himself, as long as the other party is willing to come, he has a chance, right? In this place, he really doesn't want to stay for a day.
Sam's clever tongue worked, and the other party finally promised him to come over in the afternoon.
After hanging up the phone. Sam excitedly thanked God for taking care of him: he sincerely hoped that the fool would take over the dealership and free himself from it.
…………………………………………
The other party was really punctual, although the buyer was an Asian made him feel a little surprised, but the mighty convoy and the entourage behind made Sam no longer have the slightest doubt about the strength of the other party in his heart, and he held Lin Zheng's hand very attentively, "Sir." You see, from here all the way to the barbed wire fence in the distance, this large area is mine, and you can even use it as a horse farm after you take over, and there are really not many car dealers who want to find such a large area now......"
"Really? I think the Martin dealership was a little bigger than yours? Lin Zheng asked Sam with a smile. He has long understood the problem of Americans who love to brag.
Sam smiled awkwardly. Sam's Motors is just a small to medium-sized second-hand car dealership, of course, it can't be compared to a medium-sized Martin car dealership, but they have been to Martin Dealership to see it? The thought that he seemed to have read in the newspaper that Martin was going to sell his car dealership made Sam nervous, damn it! It seems that I can't blow it too much next.
Hurriedly changed the topic, pointed to a large number of cars parked in the open air and said to Lin Zheng: "Mr. Lin, you see, the cars on the left are our company's own property, and the cars on the right are all consigned by the owners to us, in addition, there are about 2oo car owners who intend to sell their cars in our place, as long as there are customers interested in their cars, they will immediately drive the cars over, we have more than 5oo cars in our hands, covering the United States, Almost all models of European and Japanese cars, any customer will be able to find a satisfactory car with us, and I assure you that as soon as you take over this dealership, you will wait to sit in the office and count the money. ”
In order to reduce the occupancy rate of funds as much as possible, second-hand car dealers rarely use their own funds to recycle vehicles, and more are to let the owners who intend to sell their cars put their cars on consignment and then earn the difference in price.
This is understandable, even if the average price of recycling a second-hand car is 8ooo dollars, 1ooo car is also 8o yuan, it is very unwise to press this money on these "scrap iron" that does not know when it can be realized and is discounted all the time, and most of the cars are put here by the owner to consign.
In addition to this consignment method, there is also a consignment method is that the owner directly registers the car he is using in the car dealership, but the car is not placed in the car dealership, but for his own use, if someone is interested in this car, the car dealer will call the car owner, and the car owner will drive the car directly to the car dealership, or simply meet the two directly, and the car owner will give the car dealer an intermediary fee after facilitating the transaction.
A huge car dealership looks densely packed with hundreds of cars, but the car dealership has actually paid for less than 5o cars, which are sold to car dealers at low prices by car owners in a hurry, and these cars actually only take up about 3o million US dollars of Sam's capital.
"Really?" Lin Zheng smiled and said that he believed in making money from second-hand cars, but he could make a lot of money as long as he sat in the office? This is an exaggeration, looking at Sam, Lin Zheng asked "curiously". "I'm curious that this car dealership is so profitable. Why is Mr. Sam in such a hurry? ”
"I decided to change careers, I have lived in the automotive industry for more than 2o years, and I want to try a life that I have never tried before," Sam was naturally prepared for this question, and said with a look of longing when he heard this, "I want to buy a huge RV and drive him around the land of America every day." Immersing yourself in the natural beauty of the United States, that's what I want to live ...... life."
Lin Zheng felt that his stomach seemed to twitch slightly, today he finally saw the ability of Americans to brag, the virtue of second-hand car dealers in the United States is half-dead, you still give up your career for your ideals?
Phew!
"This is indeed a very great ideal," enduring the feeling of wanting to vomit, Lin Zheng decided to get to the point as much as possible. "Mr. Sam, tell me a price, how much are you going to sell your car dealership?"
Sam's eyes rolled twice, and he raised a finger: "One hundred...... One and a half million dollars! ”
"$150,000?" Lin Zheng didn't say a word when he heard it, turned around and left: Is it really Lao Tzu a fat pig and a wronged head?
As soon as Lin Zheng left, Tan Na, Waldegard and the others who followed behind naturally left immediately without hesitation
Unexpectedly, the other party who was scared by this price had no interest in bargaining. Sam regretted it in his heart, it would have been good if he had known a few points, and hurriedly chased after him: "Hey, hey, don't go, the price is negotiable." Negotiable...... How about $120,000? $110,000? $1oo couldn't be less...... How much do you say? ”
That's right! This is like doing business, Lin Zheng turned his head. Raised four fingers: "I don't know what your company's debt situation is, but I'll assume that your car dealership has no bank debt...... $4o million! ”
"$4o million? Why don't you grab it?! I didn't expect Lin Zheng to give such a low-priced Sam, and suddenly jumped with anger on his face, "$4o million?" No way! $950,000 minimum! ”
"Then I can only say that it's a pity," Lin Zheng shook his head, and turned around again without hesitation, when he first arrived here, Waldegaard told himself that even if this Sam's car dealership didn't have a penny of bank loans, according to the land price and construction here, even if you count the cars, it would be worth up to 6o US dollars, and it was possible to see that Sam was in a hurry to sell, and even a lower price was possible. Now that you have the bottom in your heart, what are you afraid of him doing?
Seeing that Lin Zheng didn't seem to be playing false, and really had the intention of leaving, Sam's face turned blue and white for a while, and finally bit it and said loudly, "Okay, how much money are you willing to pay?" $4o is definitely not a no, I guarantee that the company's finances are in good shape and we can ask a professional accounting firm to do an audit. ”
"$450,000." Lin Zheng stopped in front of the car, turned to Sam and said, "I think this is a very fair and reasonable price, Mr. Sam, if you think this price is unacceptable, I can go and see several other car dealerships." ”
Sam didn't dare to hesitate any longer, he could be sure that the other party did have the sincerity to buy a car dealership, but for them, Sam's car dealership was not their only choice, if they missed this opportunity, they didn't know what year they would have to wait until a female fool took over their car dealership.
He gritted his teeth, "The company's bank liabilities are only $150,000, and you can buy the company for $6o." ”
"If so...... $5o million! Lin Zheng added another $50,000.
"$550,000!" Sam's neck was bruised.
"Deal!" Lin Zheng smiled, estimating that this had reached Sam's bottom line, "I will ask an accounting firm to audit your financial situation, as long as there is no problem, we can sign a contract." ”
