Sunday, October 4th.

Chen Wen got up early in the morning and was going to buy a car today.

Xie Tiantian asked when making breakfast: "It's strange, you always sleep lazy on Sundays! Why did you get up so early today?"

Chen Wen said: "Buy a car. ”

Xie Tiantian had an envious expression on her face: "The children of rich families are so chic!"

Chen Wen said with a smile: "When I buy a car, I will go to Carrefour in the afternoon to pick you and Tingting off work." ”

Xie Tiantian said, "Okay!"

Chen Wen advised: "Don't tell your sister, let's surprise her." ”

Xie Tiantian smiled sweetly and nodded vigorously.

At 9 o'clock, Liszt's car came, stopped on the side of the road outside the villa, and honked its horn twice.

Taking 5,000 US dollars and 30,000 francs in cash from the attic, Chen Wen boarded the car.

Liszt's car was not the same as that of the Mark. The Mack is a loaf of bread, and the Liszt is a minibus, which looks more upscale than the Mark Liang car, and has two more seats.

After Chen Wen got in the car, he directly stuffed the promised 400 francs into Liszt's hand, and Liszt thanked him repeatedly.

On the way to drive, Chen Wen glanced sideways at the person's appearance.

On September 3, Chen Wen went to the airport to pick up Wang Qiao, and once had a photo with Liszt, and his impression was that he was a Chinese who was older than Ma Liang, and he took a flight from the imperial capital to Paris.

Today, the two of them have plenty of time together, and Chen Wen found that this Liszt looked, it should be said that he must have been very handsome when he was young.

With a height of 1.76 meters, his figure is also quite good, his facial features belong to the delicate type, that is, his face is relatively old, there are wrinkles at the corners of his mouth, there are large crow's feet at the corners of his eyes, his temples are almost completely white, and there are many gray hairs on other parts of his head.

Mark Liang is thirty-two or thirteen years old, and Chen Wen guessed that this Liszt is at least forty.

Compared with Mark Liang, Liszt has a more cheerful personality and is more talkative.

Liszt asked: "Let's go to 93 Province today to buy a car, hey, have you been there?"

Chen Wen asked rhetorically: "Is it another province other than Paris?"

Liszt explained with a smile: "It's not another department, in fact, it should be said to be a district of Paris." The districts of Paris are numbered, but the locals do not call them districts, they call them provinces. ”

Chen Wen had no idea about the 93 provinces, and asked casually: "In which direction is Paris?"

"In the northern suburbs, what to say about that place, quite a lot of people think it's very chaotic, in fact the 93 department is one of the most crime districts in Paris," said Liszt. Hey, don't be afraid, in fact, in Paris, the security is not very good, no matter how bad the 93 provinces are, they are a little worse than other districts. ”

Liszt also said: "In the area of Province 93, the house prices and rents are relatively cheap, there are more ethnic minorities, blacks, Arabs, Asians, especially a lot, you bully me, I bully you, and there are many messes." ”

Chen Wen asked: "You are quite familiar with that area, where do you live?"

Liszt said: "When I first came to Paris, I lived in that area when I graduated from studying abroad. Later, I got married and moved away. ”

When consulting about permanent residency before, Chen Wen heard Liszt say that this person and Ma Liang were both married to a dying old man and thus obtained a French green card.

Chen Wen said: "You can be regarded as having survived and obtained a French identity." There are still a lot of people who are struggling for identity. ”

Liszt smiled: "There are gains and losses, and I have lost a lot of things for this green card." ”

Chen Wen asked, "What is the most important thing you have lost?"

Alas, I have a girlfriend, an ex-girlfriend, and she is in the country. I haven't seen her for almost ten years. I'm married here, and after all these years, I don't have the face to go to her again. ”

Chen Wen asked, "How is she now?" Are she still waiting for you?"

Liszt shook his head: "I heard from a friend a few years ago that she was married. Ha, she is living much better than me now, with a family, a marriage, and a formal job, where can she look down on me. ”

Chen Wen said: "You two are now living the life you want, it's good, you will have the opportunity to meet for dinner in the future, and you can be good chat friends." ”

Liszt laughed: "I hope so." ”

The topic was a little heavy, and Chen Wen decisively opened a new question: "What is the approximate price of a second-hand car, I brought 20,000 francs in cash today, is it enough?"

Liszt said: "Used cars are not expensive, ranging from thousands to tens of thousands of francs, and I will help you with your eyes in a while, it is not a big problem." Hey, did you bring a Chinese driver's license?"

Chen Wen said: "Bring it." ”

Liszt said: "Yes, if you buy a car, you can do a translation notarization by the way, and the car dealership will have this service." ”

After chatting, time flies, and after more than half an hour, we arrived at the second-hand car trading market on the southern edge of 93 provinces.

Chen Wen got out of the car and looked in the direction of the market, where thousands of colorful cars were parked.

Liszt locked the car door and led Chen Wen to the door of a car dealership, and on the way he introduced: "Here, there are several car dealers, and the cars placed outside are available in each family, and there is not much difference. Well, there is a row of cars in front, you pick one, and I'll take you in. ”

The bungalows of the five car dealers were lined up, and Chen Wen pointed to one: "The second one on the right." ”

Liszt led Chen Wen through the door, and a black male businessman received them. Liszt asked Chen Wen to hand over his driver's license to the other party, took a bunch of information from the counter, and led Chen Wen out to choose a car.

Chen Wen found that Liszt was very familiar with the business here. He asked, and Liszt told Chen Wen: "I used to work in these car dealerships. ”

After walking around, Chen Wen found that the cars in France in 1992 were more fashionable than the cars on the streets in China now, but they certainly couldn't match the 201

9 years compared to the car on Huaxia Street.

The second-hand car market in France does quite like that, on the windshield of each car, hold down a piece of solitaire with a windshield wiper, and the basic information and price of the vehicle are written on it, and bargaining is not accepted.

Liszt suggested: "There is no need to buy a used car with more than 20,000 francs, it is better to buy a new car with another 20,000 francs." There is no need to buy a car under 5,000, it is too old and broken, and repairing the car will annoy you in the future. The most suitable is to buy more than 10,000. ”

According to the price reference range given by Liszt, Chen Wen picked out a two-door hatchback four-seater sedan produced by Renault in 88 and a four-door three-sedan five-seater station wagon produced by Peugeot in 86.

The former, much like Adriane's Fiat, is ideal for one or two people on a daily basis, and is well suited for navigating a traffic jam like Paris.

The reason why the latter attracted Chen Wen was because he found that the third compartment, that is, the area behind the rear seat, was quite large, like a small bed, and it seemed that he could take a girl to talk about life in this space.

Liszt advised: "That Renault is too small, and a long drive can be exhausting." I think you're suitable for buying a bigger car, that Peugeot is good, you're very tall, you don't sit in the cab, and if you're tired from a long run, you can go to the back seat and sleep for a while. ”

Chen Wen happily chose the Peugeot sedan, returned to the dealership and paid 12,200 francs, of which 200 yuan was the notarization fee for the translation of the driver's license.

For the first time, Chen Wen II bought a car.

During the whole process of choosing a car, the black salesman did not accompany Chen Wen to the parking lot. Regarding the details of the notarized certificate of driver's license translation, this person also does not give any explanation. If it weren't for greeting each other in French when they entered the door, Chen Wen would almost have thought that he didn't know French.

Liszt told Chen Wen: "The black buddies are not diligent in this virtue, and they are just as knowledgeable as them." The notarial certificate is valid for one year, after which it must be renewed by the relevant department. ”

Chen Wen thought to himself that he would stay in France for three more months at most, and one year would be enough.

The car purchase went very smoothly, and it was not yet 12 o'clock.

Liszt said: "It's time to catch up with the meal, let's go to my house for a meal, not far, a few kilometers to the east, quite close to the airport." ”

Liszt drove the way, and Chen Wen drove to his house.

Although Chen Wen did not learn to drive in his previous life, he experienced a quenching experience when he took the driver's license test in this life, and he learned things super fast since he was reborn.

In less than half an hour, we arrived at Liszt's residence, which was very similar to the house of the Mark Liang family, a small courtyard of bungalows.

Liszt's car parked in the courtyard, and Chen Wen's Peugeot car parked on the side of the road at the entrance of the courtyard.

Chen Wen got out of the car and watched for a moment, this place must be northeast of Paris, because he saw the passenger plane that had just taken off and was pulling up, and Charles de Gaulle International Airport was a few kilometers away.

Liszt said, "Come, come into the house, just in time to meet your sister-in-law." ”
