298: Boss, my house is on fire
The application of radio has made the world a little faster, but for ordinary people, radio is still a tool they cannot use. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
Even in the United States, only government agencies are now willing to use radio to communicate.
Of course, the radio lines were laid to be able to govern better.
If this place is called Ford 4S and there is a wireless telegraph machine in the house, then John will immediately send a telegram to his wife, asking her to send the money here as soon as possible.
Because John was afraid that when he came by tomorrow, George would refuse the price.
It only costs $1,166 to be able to buy such a luxurious car, and even John himself can't believe it.
It's as unbelievable as someone on the street who suddenly stops you and tells you that you only need to pay ten dollars and then you can take a gold bar.
Two hundred dollars, equivalent to a little more than a month's salary for John, it is clear that although George opened the back door for him, John could not always have so much money with him.
In this day and age, the average person carries fifty dollars to work, even if they are rich, most people will only carry ten dollars, and if it is just a weekday job, maybe only one or two dollars is enough.
This era is not like later generations, where a few people eat a meal for hundreds of people.
John belongs to the slightly affluent white-collar class, after all, he is a sheriff, but at this time John has less than ten dollars on him, and of course, if he doesn't have lunch, he will have ten dollars on him.
George took out two hundred dollars from his pocket and handed it to the finance of the 4S store, then the finance issued a deposit receipt, and then took out two more contracts, wrote some key words on them, and finally handed over the two contracts.
"John, you'll need to sign the bottom left side of these two contracts, put your fingerprint on these places, and then you can pick up the car tomorrow." George pointed out where he needed to press his fingerprint and sign.
John carefully read the contract, which was actually an ordinary subscription contract, which stated that John ordered an E-type car, paid a $200 deposit, came to pick up the car before leaving work tomorrow afternoon, and paid the balance of $966.
If John fails to pick up the car within three days, he will be deemed to have abandoned the order, and the $200 deposit will not be refunded by the 4S store.
If the car is not delivered to John at 4S within the agreed time, then the 4S store will pay John a compensation of one hundred dollars.
The place where John needs to press his fingerprint is the deposit, the balance, the 4S store does not return the deposit, pays 100 US dollars, and the five places where the signature is signed, with fingerprints on it, which means that John agrees to this clause, as long as the 4S store does not operate in violation of regulations, even if John is the sheriff, he has no way to take legal measures against the 4S store.
Originally, John was still a little skeptical about this price, but after seeing this contract, he had no doubts.
It is possible for the 4S store to cheat on other people's contracts, but for John, they would never dare to do this, then John would make them unable to open their doors.
As if he was afraid that the 4S store would regret it, John quickly signed his name, and then pressed his fingerprints in five places on it, in duplicate.
After checking that the two contracts were correct, the finance directly handed the two contracts to the financial manager, who checked them again, and then took out the seal of the 4S store and stamped them, so far, this contract is officially effective.
The finance manager handed out one of the contracts with a deposit slip glued to the back, and the other one also had a deposit slip on the back.
"Congratulations Sergeant John, tomorrow you will have a car of your own. However, it should be reminded that the 4S store will close at 6 o'clock in the afternoon, and it will take a certain amount of time to pick up the car, so if you are not busy tomorrow, you can come early. In addition, you need to keep this contract, especially the deposit note at the back, if you lose it, you will only have to pay an extra $200 tomorrow. The finance manager handed the contract to John and carefully advised.
Although today is not the real release time, the store managers have already spoken, and they are not easy to refuse.
Anyway, they just booked the car in advance, and they didn't let him pick it up today, so strictly speaking, they didn't violate the company's rules by doing so.
"Hey, don't worry, man, I'll take a day off tomorrow to take care of this." John patted his chest excitedly and assured that he finally had a car of his own, and it was at such a low price and such a high configuration, it was as exciting as if you bought a BMW 3 Series for the price of an F-egg.
"Alright man, I opened the back door for you, so now you should help me too." George smiled and pointed to the dense crowd on the street outside, obviously, he wanted John to help him solve the trouble outside, after all, their store itself came forward to explain, and it was far less acceptable than John's explanation.
"Don't worry, I'll leave this matter to me, and I'll definitely let them leave as soon as possible. Of course, I will relay the good news to them as well. John carefully hid the contract, looked at the police officer Jon with a sassy mouth, and said excitedly.
"Well, I don't think you should tell them about your car booking, after all, the company stipulates that you can only start booking tomorrow. You can tell them that tomorrow morning at eight o'clock, the 4S store will be officially open, and we have 5,000 units in stock to sell. George patted John on the shoulder.
…………
Outside the 4S store, when the crowd saw John and Jon walking out, a commotion broke out instantly, and the more than ten police officers brought by John were obviously not enough in front of these thousands of people.
Looking at this scene, even John was a little scared, and could only shout loudly to calm down.
"Hey, John, how's it going? Are they telling the truth? Wells didn't know when he had squeezed to the front of the crowd, and when he saw John come out, he asked out loud with some impatience.
At this time, the crowd on the street gradually calmed down, as if waiting for John to explain to them.
"It's true, they're not lying, I've seen the car mentioned above, and I can assure you that you've never seen a car like this, it's so beautiful that you can't touch it, and when you get into it, you'll find that it's even more comfortable than your couch.
In addition to this, this car has also added a lot of user-friendly design, both in terms of comfort and safety, which is currently at the forefront of the automotive industry.
I chatted with Mr. George, the store manager, for a while, and got a lot of interesting news. First of all, Mr. George assured me of the price, yes, $1,166 as advertised, which he confirmed with headquarters no less than ten times before finally daring to publish it.
And in their hands, there are a total of 5,000 cars in stock, and in addition, from eight o'clock tomorrow morning, this car will be officially on sale.
Finally, I would like to remind you that when you come here tomorrow to buy a car, I hope you can stay calm and not act irrationally because of impulse. John said loudly, and he did a good job of the task that George had given him.
Of course, even if George didn't give him this task, he would have to do it, except that he couldn't publish the contract, the rest was John's job, who made him the sheriff of this area?
"Really?" Wells asked excitedly, seemingly a little unsure.
"Of course it's true, my man. If you delay raising money and can't buy a car tomorrow, then don't blame others......" John smiled and joked to everyone, anyway, he had already signed a predetermined contract, as long as he came over tomorrow, he could pick up his car at any time, so he didn't have to queue up to buy a car like these people.
"It's crazy, no, I'm going to go home right away and raise money, and if I can buy a car, then my wife can go to her parents' house more often in the future."
"There will definitely be more people tomorrow than now, well, tomorrow is Friday, if I go to work, it will be a little difficult to buy this car, I have to hurry back to the company to ask for leave, well, must ask for leave. But on what grounds? None of the people in the company are short of money, and if they all know the news, the boss will definitely not agree. ”
"Hey, Sam, did you forget something important to be here when you returned to the office in such a hurry?" Sam had just returned to the office when he ran into his boss from the office and was about to leave work.
"Boss, that, in fact, I came back to ask for leave, I just got the news, my daughter is sick, and it seems to be a little serious, I need to take her to the doctor, so I want to take a day off tomorrow." Sam's rambling fabricator's justification.
"Well, this is indeed a very serious problem, I hope the little princess can get better as soon as possible, go back to accompany the little princess to see a doctor, I agreed to your vacation, you can stay at home until the little princess is completely well before coming to work." The boss nodded with concern and agreed to Sam's leave, and said with a very humane concern.
"The owner...... I need to take a day off tomorrow because my wife is sick. ”
"Boss, my father is not feeling well, and I need to accompany him to the doctor."
"Boss ,......"
"Boss, my house is on fire......" Watching the gang explain all the reasons for taking leave, Chris could only use such a reason that was not a reason.
"What the hell is going on? Is there something going on in our company? The boss asked without tears, and it was understandable that one or two people asked for leave, but in addition to him, the boss, 80% of the people in the company took leave, which made the boss realize the seriousness of the problem.
