Chapter Twenty-Six: Opening Ceremony (I)
The sound of crackling firecrackers completely broke the relative calm of the street just now. At 11 a.m., there were more and more vehicles coming and going. Everyone was attracted by the sound of firecrackers, and it was clear that a new store had opened with a flower basket and a huge inflatable arch in front of a newly decorated door.
Ye Feng was greeting the guests who came to cheer today with a bright smile at this time. Anyway, it was also the first store in his life to open, Ye Feng specially gave himself a suit today, and he was wearing a tie, and his small head was combed to the ground, and he felt that it was a good one! However, according to Senna's evaluation, Ye Feng is now a standard image of a legendary JS (profiteer). However, this is not a blow to someone like Ye Feng with such thick skin and such big nerves......
The place where Ye Feng's façade is located is actually a well-known street in City C that specializes in auto supplies. Most of the car supplies and accessories in the entire C city flow from here, which is also the reason why Ye Feng and several people finally chose this place for the façade. On the left of Ye Feng's store is a store that sells Great Wall lubricants, and on the right is Goodyear tires......
In fact, this is just a façade. Hanging the signboard of car modification and beauty, what is done is to paste the car body latte art, explosion-proof film, change the interior and exterior decoration of the car and simple performance modification accessories is just a small business, and there is not much difference from other similar facades on this street. The day-to-day management was handed over to Aban, a guy who claimed to have sold watermelons with his grandfather for many years when he was a child, and his sister, who also worked in a restaurant in City C. The purpose of setting up such a façade is not only to broaden the scope of business, but also to attract real big customers - those who need to deeply modify their cars.
The real car modification workshop is in another relatively remote rented workshop, which is the essence of Ye Feng's investment this time. I remember that when all the imported equipment was put in the tidy workshop, it made Ye Feng dizzy. Ye Feng can still recognize those small CNC machine tools to some extent, and other unfamiliar things such as professional pipe benders, automatic hanger platforms, and computer digital dynamometers make Ye Feng look at them very dazed. Coupled with the senior technicians hired by Ye Feng at a high price in order to pass the audit of the traffic police force some time ago, now the entire workshop and equipment are like the scale of a small mechanical processing factory......
He didn't know how much money was on that card, but he knew how much Senna had spent this time. In fact, Ye Feng's 500,000 yuan didn't use much this time, so he used it for renting and decorating, and now there are more than 300,000 left. And almost all the funds for the purchase of equipment were spent from that card, a full $150,000! In other words, these iron guys who made Ye Feng dazed alone spent more than 1.2 million yuan! Thinking about it makes Ye Feng's flesh hurt, how many Internet cafes do you have to open......
Now in Ye Feng's façade, in addition to him, Aban, Xiaobai, and Aban's sister, they are the two neighbors who came to cheer. For the opening of such a lively and lively day, the current situation is somewhat deserted. However, Ye Feng didn't care, because Lao Ye was in a good mood these days......
Since the unhappiness with Senna, Ye Feng's stubbornness has also been stimulated. Don't look at Lao Ye's usual swagger, but this doesn't mean that Ye Feng doesn't care about what others think of him. From that day on, Lao Ye, who was actually quite proud in his bones, began to practice forgetting to sleep and eat. After explaining all the essentials of the movements, Senna didn't say anything, just quietly watched Ye Feng's crazy practice......
After two weeks of high-intensity training, Ye Feng was finally able to improve his original 7 seconds to an average of less than 6 seconds, and once ran a best time of 5.6 seconds. Don't underestimate this improvement of just 1 second, in a real game, this 1 second is enough to give yourself an absolute advantage. And the huge harvest in this is probably only known by Ye Feng.
Although Ye Feng was still a little far from the results required by Senna at this time, Senna was still very satisfied, after all, it was very remarkable for a beginner to be able to practice such a result in such a short period of time. Then Ye Feng began to practice with other cars in the game, and the hard training some time ago showed the effect. No matter what kind of car he has, Ye Feng can get started quickly according to the essentials of the action and his own experience, and it won't take long to practice to get close to the standard proposed by Senna. In short, in terms of starting, at least in the field of XAG, Ye Feng can be regarded as preliminarily thorough......
The training has paid off, and it has also made Ye Feng start to feel a little good. So after the training in the past few days, Ye Feng would go to Haofang to find someone to PK. Maybe it's because Ye Feng has been lucky recently, and he has basically won. The huge advantage on the start allowed Ye Feng to quickly establish the lead in the race, and then as long as Ye Feng, who was in the lead, did not make mistakes, there would be no problem in winning the race. However, Senna scoffed at this, except for starting, Ye Feng's line was still as disorganized as before, and he still had to crash into the wall when he cornered, and he would definitely finish playing when he met a master......
However, although he has been hit repeatedly, Lao Ye's mood is really good in the past few days.

"Boss Sai, to be honest, I really don't think it's worth investing in this more than 1 million! How much money can you earn just by sticking latte art and explosion-proof film to others? Why don't you open a few Internet cafes? After greeting a few guests, Ye Feng was also overjoyed, sat on the side and chatted with Senna, still muttering about the Internet café.
"Yes! I really can't make a lot of money! China is different from the United States, where there are more cars than people. Most Chinese cars are bought with hard work, and how many people are willing to let others modify their cars for a while? In addition, China does not have the automobile culture and industrial culture that has been baptized by Europe and the United States for more than 100 years, and the market for China's car change will not be very large in the near future. You must know that if it is in the United States, modifying your own car is as simple and popular as dyeing the hair of a Chinese woman! And even if China changes the car, it is just a small CASE such as modifying the appearance! ”
"Then why do you do this when you know that this thing doesn't make money?"
"Hehe, boy, I didn't open this workshop to make money! However, making less money and not earning money are two different concepts! There are also three realms of car modification. The lowest level of the realm is nothing more than to change the appearance, a few carbon fiber components and guillotine doors or something, anyway, how to show off how to change. Generally, this kind of modification is purely to play tickets, just to be coquettish when you want to swim in the car river, and it is very stylish when you soak in the eyebrows! Someone like you kid probably likes this! ”
"Damn! What happened to me? Am I that shallow? ”
"Hehe, the second one, a little more advanced. Replacing spark plugs, mushroom heads, and improving the lower exhaust and on-board computer system can be regarded as a preliminary performance modification. However, this level of modification is to buy the finished modified accessories to install it, and there is also no technical content, and the improvement of car performance is also limited.
At a higher level, the technical content is obviously higher. The main feature is the in-house design and development of some components for specific vehicles and special purposes when changing the car! Like the current domestic fleet in China, it is generally at this level! However, although they have added their own research and development, due to the lack of a large amount of funds, professional wind tunnels, top technology platforms and more professional development teams, the final commissioning and production of these designed components still have to be handed over to those large foreign manufacturers to customize! That's a huge amount of money! However, this level can already be regarded as the high-end level of vehicle modification! ”
"Boss Sai, which of these three realms does your level belong to?"
"Hehe, my level doesn't belong to any of them! Because that's already an art! Hearing Ye Feng ask about his level, Senna's eyes suddenly became sharp and profound, and he said lightly and confidently.
