Chapter 201: Buying a car
Gu Ziwei didn't listen to Song Haowen's words and went out to find her brother directly, but asked the orderlies to invite her brother over.
Although Song Haowen felt that it was inappropriate to ask someone to do something, it was normal for them to get along with each other and do so.
After less than ten minutes, Gu Dahai hurried back with the orderly, and when he saw Gu Ziwei, he asked, "Isn't Brother Song's driver's license ready?" What else? Gu Ziwei asked: "He wants to get an old car to drive, I wonder if my brother has any way?" Gu Dahai was stunned for a moment after hearing this, and scolded with a smile: "Boy, you haven't covered your driver's license yet, so you want to buy a car?" Too impatient, right? Song Haowen smiled: "I'm just asking casually to see if there's a chance." Gu Dahai stared at Song Haowen for a minute, and saw that the pores of Song Haowen's whole body stood up.
He asked lightly: "Do you know the country's car policy?" When Song Haowen heard this, he was stunned.
Song Haowen knew that before 1979, that is, before he was reborn, the state did not allow individuals and families to buy and use cars, and cars have always been managed as an important means of production, and they are mainly used by groups as production and work tools, which are strictly controlled by the state.
It was not until 1979 that the state allowed private ownership of cars for the first time, also for production purposes.
As for the first time in terms of policy, the state clarified the legality of private car purchases, his previous life was in February 1984, and it has been less than two years since then.
This shows that private individuals can still own cars if they have a relationship, but the purpose of the car is to produce.
Individuals want to buy new cars directly from the market, but they can't buy them at all, because there are no new cars on the market, and the new cars are distributed by the state according to the plan, and the organs and collectives are not enough, where can the individual take his turn?
As for buying second-hand cars that are close to scrapping that have been eliminated from institutions or collectives, it is not impossible, but it depends on the relationship between the individual.
"I know." Song Haowen hesitated for a moment and said: "Although the state has no relevant policies for Taiwan, private ownership of cars will no longer be investigated, but just a big hat for production." Gu Dahai looked at Song Haowen, and a smile gradually appeared in his eyes.
"It is worthy of being a high-achieving student who is about to study for a doctorate, and he is quite good at learning national policy. You're right, now the state is less strict about private ownership of cars. But the problem is, not to mention new cars, they are old cars, and for ordinary people, no matter how rich they are, they can't buy them at all. However, for the sake of you, you have helped my little sister a lot, and your brother and I are comrades-in-arms, so I will help you with this favor. Just new cars and new cars, you don't have to think about it, I can think of helping you get a military jeep that is about to reach the end of its life, and it doesn't matter if it's repaired and driven for three or five years. Song Haowen was overjoyed.
"Thank you so much Captain Gu! As long as you have a car, money is not an issue. Gu Dahai smiled and said: "If you talk about money, no matter how broken this military vehicle is, it can't be bought with money." Military cards are not allowed to be owned by ordinary people. Song Haowen was a little puzzled.
"Then how can you drive me a military vehicle?"
"yes, isn't that illegal?" Gu Ziwei also saw that there was a problem. Gu Dahai pretended to be suddenly enlightened, and slapped his forehead with his hand.
"You're right, only soldiers can drive military vehicles, I forgot that." Seeing Song Haowen and his sister's disappointed looks, he secretly laughed in his heart.
"Let me figure it out...... Brother Song, you don't want to be a soldier. He suddenly slapped his thigh and said, "Otherwise, Brother Song, you will accept the employment of our Flying Dragon Brigade and volunteer to serve as a supernumerary martial arts instructor, and you only need to come to our army once a week." In this way, we can provide a military jeep for you to use free of charge, and of course, the ownership of the car remains with the troops. What do you think? Song Haowen couldn't help but be stunned when he heard this, and said in his heart, this Gu Dahai is so cunning, this is using the car as bait, so I agreed to be the martial arts instructor of the Flying Dragon Team.
Before, he made this suggestion, but he vetoed it on the spot. Now he's bringing it up again, but with one more benefit.
If you refuse directly, you can't open your mouth, the other party just gave him a driver's license, this is not an ordinary favor, if you are not an active soldier, there is no relationship with the army, even if you have more money, you can't get it; If you promise the other party that you are so busy now, where will you have time to come once a week?
Moreover, once it is decided, it is not easy to change the time casually, otherwise it will affect the normal training of the troops.
He was in a dilemma for a while, so he looked at Gu Ziwei. Knowing what was going on in his heart, she said to her brother, "In my opinion, this is a good idea." It's just that Song Haowen has too many things, how can he have time to come once a week, and it's almost the same once a month. Gu Dahai said: "Once a month, the number of times is a bit less, at least twice." Song Haowen really wanted to have a car, so he gritted his teeth and said: "Captain Gu, it's not that I don't want to come, you are also here to protect the family and defend the country, as a patriotic citizen, I should come over and contribute a little bit." It's just that I'm really busy, I have to study for a PhD, manage several companies, and participate in performances arranged by the cultural department during the New Year's holidays. Or as your sister said, I'll come once a month, but this time can only be chosen on Sundays, and it can't be fixed. The term of employment may be tentatively set at one year. If you can agree, then say yes; If not, then I'd rather not have a car, and I can't say yes. Gu Dahai pondered for a moment, then finally sighed and said, "For the sake of you and your little sister knowing, then do as you say." The car is a military property, you have no ownership, only the right to use it, insurance and maintenance are the responsibility of the army, you only need to buy your own gasoline. The car gives you free time to use, in accordance with the contract. You can renew your contract after one year if you wish. A stone fell to the ground in Song Haowen's heart.
"Thank you for your understanding." Secretly: When the national policy is liberalized a year later and you can buy a car, there is no need to renew the contract.
Gu Ziwei said happily: "It's still my brother's heart." ”
"You just turn to outsiders!" Gu Dahai said dissatisfied.
"Brother Song, now I will ask the clerk to issue you a contract, a letter of appointment, a driving permit, and a barracks pass. As for the car, I arranged for the fighters of the driving class to try to pick you an old car in better condition, and besides, you can drive it back today. When Song Haowen heard that he could get the car now, he couldn't help but be overjoyed and thanked him repeatedly.
Gu Dahai smiled at Song Haowen, and without saying much, he went to find someone to arrange things.
