Chapter 210: Buying a car
A month and a half after returning to Paris, Fang Yi not only received the interview notice from the Paris Academy of Fine Arts and the Paris Versailles Academy of Fine Arts in his mailbox, but also received a notice that he had passed the driver's license test.
From the moment he got his driver's license, Fang Yi was thinking about buying a car in his mind. Of course, Fang Yi is not going to buy a Porsche Cayenne like Li Yuncong, the requirements for the car are now that Fang Yi's requirements are cheap, and the interior space should be a little wider.
Standing at the door of the house, Fang Yi felt the newly obtained internship driver's license in his pocket and waited for Li Yuncong to come over. Regarding getting his driver's license so quickly, not only Li Yuncong was surprised to hear it, but even Charlotte was surprised, and according to the French custom, Fang Yi held a small celebration party at home. When he was waiting to invite friends, Fang Yi found that in addition to Li Yuncong, he also knew Bernard, an alumnus and foreign iron buddy of teacher Liu Hongshuo in Paris, and Charlotte and her family staff were left.
Now Fang Yi finally realized that the French attach so much importance to getting a driver's license, this thing is really very difficult to get, not to mention Chinese students, even the French who do not have any language barrier basically take more than half a year to a year to get it, Fang Yi got it so quickly, of course, everyone was very surprised.
In the past, when you finished the road test, the examiner would tell you on the spot whether you passed or whether you could get an internship photo. But now it has changed in the past few years, and instead of notifying it on the spot, I will use my email to notify the person who passed the exam the next day!
Why do you have to write a letter so troublesomely? The main thing is to ensure the safety of the examiner's life! You want to take the test once, but twice, and some have not taken the test six or seven times or even more than ten times, so can the candidate feel better?
Think about how many people have been tossed on your driver's license for two or three years? Encounter a grumpy. This time the toss can be endured, these few times, a lot of French people have waved their old fists at the examiner, and there are even entangled family members to have a group of Europe against the examiner! Therefore, being a driver's license test official in France is not like being in China, and this job has a lot of risks in France! The French government saw that the examiner was beaten from time to time, and it was not a thing, so it was changed to a notice the next day, instead of telling you after the on-site exam! It's not something to be done.
From the perspective of the French, Fang Yi's getting a probationary driver's license is indeed a thing worth celebrating!
Looking at Li Yuncong's Cayenne stopped on the side of the road, Fang Yi walked to the car door. I pulled open the door and got inside.
"What kind of car are you going to pick?" Li Yuncong watched Fang Yi get into the car, turned to the road and asked Fang Yi.
"Renault station wagon! I looked at it on the Internet, the price is good, the space is good, the frame and the box are fine, there is no problem! Fang Yi opened his mouth and said: "And if you go to other countries in Europe in the future, it will be convenient to drive the car directly!" ”。
Li Yuncong glanced at Fang Yi and said with a smile: "You don't pay much attention to the quality of life!" My mom said, look at a man's taste. One is to see what watch he carries, and the other is to see what kind of car he drives! As for the clothes, these are all fakes! After speaking, he stretched out his wrist and said to Fang Yi, "See?" Vacheron Constantin! ”。
Fang Yi glanced at Li Yuncong's watch and said, "What's so good." My quartz watch doesn't tell the time the same way? After speaking, he shook out the quartz watch on his wrist: "Endorsed by the President of France." Less than 20 euros a piece! ”。 After staying in France for so long, Fang Yi found that very few European politicians carry tens of thousands of watches, and in order to show their proximity to the people, even if they have money in the family, they will choose these preferred goods to wear in public. It is worn for the common people or the voters to see. To show integrity! Of course, everyone behind the back should be greedy, scrape!
"That's right! There will be a gathering of international students in two days, why don't you come and meet some international students from China? Everyone is familiar with it. When I return to China in the future, maybe I can do some things a little easier! Li Yuncong said to Fang Yi. Then I talked about the location of the party!
Fang Yi didn't really want to go, but thinking that Charlotte mentioned that he would make more friends or something, he thought twice in his heart and nodded and agreed: "That's okay!" When the time comes, you can take me with you! ”。
"I'll just give you the address! Can't you find it? Li Yuncong said casually.
"This! I'm not familiar with Paris," Fang Yi said embarrassedly: "You said that place, I don't know where the road is!" ”。
Li Yuncong glanced at Fang Yi with his gaze, then shook his head and sighed and said, "It's been almost six months, and you don't even know about this place?" Very famous club! Then you know where to go in Paris! Eldest brother!? ”。
Fang Yi thought for a moment and said with a smile: "I now know that there is still the Rodin Museum and the Louvre Museum, and there are two smaller art museums!" ”。
"Won't you feel bored?" Li Yuncong asked curiously at Fang Yi, and then without waiting for Fang Yi to answer, he directly shook his head and said, "Hi! What are you doing here, I ask! Where will artists feel bored when they engage in art! Maybe you're still happy with your life now, right? ”。
Fang Yi smiled and looked out the car window and said jokingly: "If you were a woman, I would marry you, you know my mind so well!" ”。
"Hahaha!" Li Yuncong smiled and said: "If I were a woman, I wouldn't look for you like this, I could suffocate me in a lifetime!" If you want to find a man like me who understands life and has taste! ”。
Hehe! Fang Yi smiled when he heard this, then looked at the name of the store outside the car window and said, "Nissan sells well in France?" Why is there such a big Nissan store here! The broken car of the little devil is a trend that is sold all over the world! ”。
"Do you think that Japanese cars in China are the same thing as Japanese cars in Europe and the United States?" Li Yuncong looked at the road and said: "I'll tell you that those are two different things, whether it is in terms of safety or performance, it is more than one grade better than in China!" Having said that, Nissan is not a Japanese car, its largest shareholder is Renault of France, and even the general manager of Nissan is French, the so-called Renault-Nissan alliance is just to take care of the face of the Japanese, in fact, Nissan is a subsidiary of Renault! The domestic Dongfeng Nissan is not a Sino-Japanese joint venture. The essence is a Sino-French joint venture! Many models are designed by Renault in France, such as the earthquake in Japan, for which Nissan was the least affected and suffered almost no loss? Because most of his factories are in Europe, not Japan! ”。
"Oh! Then the next time you boycott Japanese goods, you can delete this brand" Fang Yi said casually after listening to it.
Li Yuncong opened his mouth and said, "Why don't I take you in and have a look?" Nissan models are still OK! ”。
"No need! Although the lining is French, but I don't like this name, just like the domestic B Yangdi! The name is disgusting, let alone buying," Fang Yi said with a smile.
Poof! Li Yuncong listened to it and was directly happy: "Is that what people mean?" But don't say that at the party, there is a boy who runs a B Yangdi company at home."
"That's what I saw on the domestic Internet. You can't remember it if you don't think about it! In the future, as long as I look at the person driving this car on the road, I can't help but think of this name" Fang Yi said with a smile: "It's okay for me to say this, just go around with you, and get to know those who are pleasing to the eye, and eliminate those who are not pleasing to the eye!" ”。
The two chatted for a while before arriving at the Renault brand store. When he pushed the door in, Fang Yi went directly to Koreao.
Li Yuncong naturally has little interest in this kind of car. Standing next to him, a beautiful French beauty in the store chatted warmly.
Fang Yi looked at this white Koleo and frowned slightly. I'm a little dissatisfied with the color.
"Sir! We also have Coupés at Renault! At this time, the salesperson who was standing next to Fang Yi and introducing Fang Yi opened his mouth and asked.
The salesman could see at a glance that Fang Yi was a Chinese. And it's not like a French Chinese, judging from the clothes on his body, he is a rich man nine times out of ten, and his friend still drives a top-of-the-line Cayenne, and this car is also classified as a luxury car in Europe. I thought to myself: why are you still looking at a car like Koleo! What matches your identity is tens of thousands of euros, or more than 100,000 euros! I can also get a little more.
In the past, Europeans looked at these people who came from Red China were poor, Hong Kong. Only those who come from the two regions of Taiwan are rich, and the richest Asians are the Japanese. But now European and American merchants have a consensus, this red China is the loveliest people! When it comes to arrogance, no one dares to admit that no one dares to admit that Red China's fathers and elders who go abroad consider themselves to be second! Not like it was for ten or twenty years. In terms of tourist passports, it is difficult in every way, and the scale has been relaxed, reflecting the beautiful character of European countries where money is a father and milk is a mother.
"What other colors, I don't like the white one very much" Fang Yi looked at the clerk and said, buy a sports car? That thing is used by the girl, can you put things in a total of two seats?
"Yes! Yes! Are you ready to buy it today? The clerk looked at Fang Yi and said what colors the car was.
Fang Yi nodded and said, "Buy it today!" "Dude, where do you have so much time to spend with you from store to store!
The clerk listened and took Fang Yi to look at the car behind him, Fang Yi's most beautiful champagne gold car, and then stood up to the clerk to calculate the money, and it took less than twenty minutes to see the car sold.
However, there are a lot of things to follow, and you don't need to go to a place like the vehicle management office in France to get a license, you can handle it directly in the store. It took less than an hour to buy the car and everything was ready. This efficiency made Fang Yi very satisfied.
The clerk looked at Fang Yi's champagne-colored Koleo disappearing, and opened his mouth to mutter: Chinese buy things really fast, and they don't bargain!
Fang Yi didn't expect that the French car dealership could still bargain, as for Li Yuncong, who bought a luxury car, he had never experienced bargaining, so where was there any room for you to bargain in the luxury car shop? Therefore, Fang Yi's car is a bit more expensive than others, a few hundred euros! Unknowingly, Fang Yi added a little bit of the impression of the Chinese to the French people!
