On Saturday morning, Li Youran went out and called a taxi and rushed all the way to Tianhai Automobile Trading City in Beicheng. When he got out of the car at the gate, he saw Fatty Luo, a tall man wearing a dark gray casual suit, standing in the distance.
There, he shouted quickly.
"Why are you here so late? As a boss, no one cares about sleeping in all day." Fatty Luo looked at Li Youran dissatisfied.
"It's not like I'm rushing to buy in-demand goods, so why bother?" Li Youran said disapprovingly. This fat guy is more active in buying cars than himself.
Tianhai Auto Trade City occupies a large area, with more than 20 buildings of various sizes, and houses almost all major brands of cars on the market.
With the improvement of living standards, more and more individual consumers are buying cars. Don’t look at the news about the world financial crisis that is published in major newspapers and tabloids all day long, but the domestic consumer market does not seem to be greatly affected. Take a look at this weekend
You can understand the flow of people in the Auto Trade City.
Fatty Luo pulled Li Youran towards the car town. As soon as he entered the gate, a young man in his twenties with a flat nose approached him.
"Boss, are you here to buy a car? Take a look at my car. The price is absolutely great."
Li Youran looked at the visitor and asked casually:
"What car?"
"Tell me this way, tell me this way." The young man with a flat nose pulled Li Youran and Li Youran to the nearby iron fence, making a mysterious look.
"You two, to tell you the truth, I have a batch of imported smuggled cars that have been confiscated by the customs. They are all original goods, of high quality, and very cheap. Take a look."
As he spoke, the young man with a snub nose handed over a quotation.
Li Youran took it and saw, oh, the Mercedes-Benz S500 is 450,000 yuan, the BMW 730li is 400,000 yuan, and the Porsche 911 is 700,000 yuan. The price is really cheap and the quantity is abundant. He admired it a few times, and then handed it to the fat man.
"Haha, it's really affordable. Why is it so cheap? Is there a problem?" Fatty Luo narrowed his eyes and said with a smile.
"Boss, you look like a layman, it's your first time buying a car. Let me tell you, cars are actually very cheap abroad, just like buying a refrigerator and TV for us. Why are they so expensive in China?
, the key lies in this tariff. Do you know how much the tariff on imported cars is? Hey, let me tell you, one hundred and twenty percent, which is dark enough. This is just the basic tax, and then add other messy taxes and fees, that is
Now the prices in the market are ridiculous." The young man with a flat nose started the class.
"I know this. Taxation is the honorable duty of every law-abiding citizen. Otherwise, where would the country get the funds to carry out modernization? Spend more and pay more taxes. It is normal to take it from the people and use it to the people.
, how can you say it's a scam? Some time ago, external forces slandered that our country's tax burden is among the highest in the world, and they obviously have ulterior motives. Well, what's going on with your price?" Fatty Luo said seriously.
"Boss, you're quite funny," the young man glanced at the fat man and continued:
"Our company is different. We have a hard connection with the customs and specialize in collecting smuggled cars that have been confiscated by them. Think about it, the confiscated cars cost almost nothing. Plus our company's deserved profits, this is what it is now.
The price is right. It’s much more affordable for you to buy my car than go to the lobby.”
"Then how do you get a brand? There are no formalities for this kind of car." Li Youran asked. He also knew that the guy in front of him was not a serious guy, just a joke.
"These days, if you have money, you can't do anything. As long as you add another 20,000 yuan, all the procedures will be completed." The young man with a flat nose made a promise with confidence.
"Okay, let's go see the car somewhere. We want this Mercedes-Benz S500." Fatty Luo agreed readily.
"Boss, don't worry, you can't just look at this car." The young man with the flat nose was no longer anxious now.
"What's going to happen?" Li Youran was a little impatient.
"Our company has regulations that require you to pay a deposit of RMB 5,000 when showing someone a car. The car is not on site and has to be adjusted from the outside. You can adjust the model you like. This also costs money. If you just don't buy it, we will also suffer.
No way." The snub-nosed young man said, rolling his eyes.
Li Youran and Fatty Luo smiled at each other, ignored the young man, and walked forward together.
"Hey, two bosses, the price is negotiable. If not, you can pay three thousand in advance." The young man with the flat nose became anxious and ran forward to stop Fatty Luo.
Fatty Luo put his face close to the young man and said in a low voice:
"Do you know what I do, uncle? Tell me, boy, from the Municipal Commission for Discipline Inspection and Supervision. Which customs department does your company purchase goods from? Tell me, and I will ensure that your report will be successful."
The young man with the snub-nosed face suddenly turned pale. He didn't dare to pester anymore, turned around and ran away quickly.
Hahaha, Li Youran and the two laughed together.
"Fat man, you are really in a leisurely mood, spending so much time teasing with a little liar."
"You bastard, you have deceived me. You can't help but be scared. What kind of psychological quality do you have? Do you think that being a liar is so easy to do?" Fatty Luo said angrily.
"I heard that at this level, quite a few people have been fooled."
"Do you know the SMS lottery scam? According to statistics, for every group of 10,000 messages sent, about two to three fools will be fooled on average. This is enough for the scammers to live a happy life. Okay, let's get down to business."
The two of them walked into the Auto City while chatting and laughing.
As expected, Fatty Luo wanted to take Li Youran into the BMW sales hall closest to the gate. He was obviously uneasy and well-intentioned.
"Fat man, I told you that I don't have that much money and can't afford x5." Li Youran clearly rejected the fat man's wishful thinking.
"Haha, you are still being humble with me. Who doesn't know how much you, Mr. Li, are worth? If you open a few more tables of private dishes, you will have everything. Money is something you don't bring with you when you are born, and you don't take it with you when you die. Life is only a few years old.
After ten years, do you need to be so abusing yourself? Besides, buying a slightly better car will also stimulate domestic demand and contribute to the country's economic construction." Fatty Luo encouraged him with his small eyes narrowed.
"I want to open dozens of tables of private dishes every day. I have to have some skills. Stop, do you want me to go bankrupt? I definitely can't buy it." Li Youran made the conclusion rudely.
Seeing the other party's resolute attitude, Fatty Luo knew there was no hope. He sighed deeply, looked at the shining silver BMW x5 in the business hall through the glass, swallowed his saliva, and looked sad.
It was so unbearable that Li Youran stepped forward and grabbed Fatty Luo's hand and pulled him away.
"Oh, please be gentle, your hands are too strong."
"Don't look like a pig, as if you've just met a beautiful woman."
"Don't you understand? Beautiful women and beautiful cars are the two major pursuits of a man's life. Like a fish and a bear's paw, if you have both, you will have no regrets in life." Fatty Luo said with emotion.
"Come on, don't be upset. If you go somewhere else and make me angry, I'll just buy a car worth 70,000 to 80,000 yuan. It's just a means of transportation anyway." Li Youran threatened.
This trick worked as expected. Fatty Luo kept his mouth shut and did not dare to say anything else, for fear that Li Youran would keep his word and just buy a cheap car.
The two of them continued walking into the Auto City.
