On this day, December 29th, Friday, Tang Xiao had a three-day holiday until the end of New Year's Day.
But there are no holidays in the factory.
There is no way, there are so many orders, and the tasks are so tight. It is a holiday, and the city will not be happy about it.
But it's not a big problem.
In a word, as long as the money is in place, working overtime and all night is not a problem.
Especially when the overtime pay is much higher than the usual salary, no one would be happy if they didn't let them do it.
Xu Yue naturally came too.
The task assigned to her may seem simple, but it is actually very important and cannot be taken lightly.
Jiang Chen brought Tang Xiao over to hand out holiday gifts.
All are prepared by contacting in advance.
Not much, just two bags of washing powder per person, a hot water bottle, and a bed sheet, all produced locally.
In addition, there is a ten-pound bag of rice per person and a box of bright red apples purchased from other places.
After finishing the work, I called Zhang Hai and Tan Bing, took my finances with me, drove the Dongfeng, and went to the provincial capital to buy a car.
This journey is very exciting.
Everyone was sitting in the carriage in the open air. Fortunately, the weather turned sunny today and the wind was not strong.
When I came to the provincial capital, I inquired about it and found out that luckily there was a car show, so I went straight to the show.
How should I put it, it feels like it is quite depressed, with large-scale layoffs and many families struggling to make ends meet, it would be strange if so many people come to look at and buy cars.
But the rich are really rich, and those who buy BMWs and Mercedes-Benzes may be because that’s all they have at the top. Otherwise, it’s hard to say, maybe someone can afford a Rolls-Royce.
It's expensive, it's really expensive.
An ordinary Santana costs 140,000 yuan, and a Santana costs 20,000 yuan, 200,000 yuan, subverting perceptions.
On the contrary, the imported cars are not much different. The top model of Audi A6 is 480,000 yuan, and the BMW 740 is 950,000 yuan. It is not much different from the later ones.
After looking around, Jiang Chen asked with a smile: "How are you guys, what do you think?"
No one said anything.
It was too expensive, costing tens of thousands, hundreds of thousands or even millions. Each of them had earth-colored faces and was scared to death.
Zhang Hai pulled Jiang Chen and whispered: "Why don't we forget it, it's too expensive. It's not easy to make some money in the factory."
Tan Bing also said: "I think so. If it really doesn't work, just buy two. It's just a facade, not that much."
This is generally believed.
Because it’s really too expensive, even if you want to support the facade, you can’t afford that much.
But whether you want it or not, you still want it. What man doesn’t like a car?
I love motorcycles so much, let alone cars!
Jiang Chen smiled and asked Tang Xiao: "Classmate Tang Xiao, what do you say?"
"I think so, maybe just two, one big and one small, that's enough!" Tang Xiao looked at Jiang Chen and gave his advice seriously.
Jiang Chen shook his head and sighed: "Forget it, I'll do it myself!"
After saying that, he walked up to a Jinbei Hiace with a price of 256,123 seats, patted the front of the car and said, "Two cars, 480,000, can be taken away immediately. Can I sell them?"
"Sell, sell, what's your boss's name?"
grass.
So simple.
Jiang Chen was prepared for the dealer to cry and complain that he couldn't afford it, but in the end, he actually acted out of common sense.
But he is still the kind of person with a relatively tender face, so he thinks it is quite cruel to cut off 16,000 yuan per car.
Now when people offered to sell it, he was too embarrassed to say no.
So I quickly bought the two cars for 480,000, including delivery to the factory, no registration or other matters, and no purchase tax.
After finishing the work, I walked towards the Audi A6 again.
There was no way, even the Santana 2000 cost 200,000. He really didn't have much confidence in a car that cost 20,000 to 300,000.
It looks ugly, and the car has a square body with sharp edges and corners, and it doesn’t even have basic body curves.
In this case, it is better to just do the whole thing in one step, so that you don’t have to think about replacing it in a short time.
Don't think this is an imported car.
Imported cars are also imported and sold by people, so you should make a counter-offer as necessary.
Be more ruthless this time and cut off 25,000 in one go, turning 480,000 into 455,000.
At first, the agent didn't do it because he was losing money, he couldn't afford it, blah blah blah.
As soon as he saw him, he turned around and left. Sell it, I'll sell it, don't be too happy.
By this time, Zhang Hai and others were already numb.
Tang Xiao was also dumbfounded.
Two Jinbei cars cost 480,000 yuan, and two Audi cars cost 910,000 yuan. This is spending money without blinking an eye!
That’s 1.39 million. The key is that it’s not over yet.
According to the plan, there is still one car left.
Regarding this matter, Jiang Chen also had a headache.
He doesn't like cars very much.
He prefers off-road vehicles and SUVs to cars.
The current road conditions, especially in the countryside, make it easier for off-road SUVs with high terrain.
The problem is no!
From the looks of it, it's just the Cherokee, but it looks a bit ugly, and the price, which is about the same as Santana, doesn't make anyone confident.
So I had to make do with a Mercedes-Benz S600.
This is the most expensive car in this auto show, with the price reaching an astonishing 1.6 million.
At this time, not to mention Zhang Hai and others, even the passers-by and salespeople around were a little numb.
But actually Jiang Chen doesn't like it very much.
Because not only is this not off-road, there is no full-vehicle image.
He is a newbie!
For novices, the whole car image is very important!
In his opinion, this car only looks better, has a more luxurious interior, and is more expensive, but the rest is useless.
Oh no, there is also an automatic transmission.
This is very important. This car is automatic, otherwise he might not buy it. After all, there are already so many shortcomings.
After finishing the work and having a quick bite to eat, Dadongfeng led the large group back. He took Tang Xiao with him to the examination room with the help of the agent.
There was no one in the examination room.
These days, you can get a driver's license by paying money and have it delivered to your home.
The agent also made it clear that there is no need to take the test, it will be taken care of.
However, in order to be responsible for himself and others, he still studied seriously and took the exam again.
I got my driver's license on the same day, stayed in a hotel for one night, and took Tang Xiao on the road the next day.
"Sister, listen."
"Do you know where I am now? I'm in the car. Brother Xiaochen bought a new car for 1.6 million yuan!"
"..."
So happy.
When it comes to buying a car, the pain is temporary.
But Logan was so angry that he just hated why he was so far away and all the good things, including companionship, couldn't keep up with him.
Jiang Chen didn't have any ideas.
He was just being careful, after all, strictly speaking, this was his first time driving on the road.
There were people in the car.
Fortunately, the road was smooth, there were few cars, the weather was good, and we arrived safely.
There were not many plans for this day. I just took Tang Xiao to visit the park and walk around the city wall after returning.
In the evening, I called Zhang Hai's family, and then made an appointment with Tan Bing and his wife to have dinner at home to celebrate. The next day, New Year's Day, the whole company had a holiday, so I brought Tang Xiao, Zhang Hai's family of three, and packed a bunch of fruit snacks into the trunk of the car.
