Chapter 1249: High-minded but low-handed
In the second-hand car market in Huaxiang, a large store in the corner opened for business.

There were many flower baskets at the door, a red carpet was laid out, and there were small hand-twisted fireworks that exploded with a bang, filling the sky with colorful sequins that flew and fell.

A group of people were having a lot of fun, and it really felt festive.

"Brother Yan, you guys are really quick." Xiang Nan sighed, "It's only been a week, right?"

"Then wait another two years?" Wang Yan smiled and waved his hand. "The company has completed the formalities and has received a few cars during this period. This is enough for turnover. We are all good friends. If someone around you wants to buy a car, please help introduce it to someone."

"Needless to say, Brother Yan? I don't need anyone else, I just want to buy it. It's a good opportunity for you to help me look. I don't have high requirements. Any brand is fine. As long as I can drive it and don't throw it on the road, it's fine."

Huazi came over and put his arm around his shoulders: "Hey, you're right. I've been doing this for a few days and have some understanding of it. You, who have no demands, have the greatest demands and are the most difficult to please."

Lu Tao laughed: "Brother Yan, you idiot, you have to criticize him. He is a salesman and has no sense of service at all. How can you talk to customers like this?"

"I'm going to take action." Huazi cursed with a smile.

"Hit him, hit him." Mile was standing aside, hoping that the world would not be in chaos.

"No, which side are you from?" Lu Tao joked.

Mile said, "If you treat me well, I will be on your side. If you treat me badly, I will be on Brother Yan's side. Then I will ask Brother Yan to beat you up. Right, Brother Yan?"

"Don't involve me. It's easy to cause misunderstanding if you look at me. After all, I am single. It seems like you have an emotional dispute, but I am innocent. Don't tarnish my reputation." Wang Yan smiled and waved his hand.

"Then I'll really follow you." Mile laughed.

"I'm not a good person either. I dream of having a hundred relationships at the same time."

Pighead gave a thumbs up: "That's a pretty good life, it has to be Brother Yan."

"Get out of the way." Wang Yan waved his hand in disdain.

So everyone started laughing, and they were able to make jokes, and they talked about useless things together, and they were all very happy...

It is not difficult to open a company, nor is it difficult to open a car repair shop. Wang Yan was not a pushover, and Zhutou and Huazi knew what they were doing. With Wang Yan's quick promotion, the company was opened and started operating immediately.

On today's opening day, a group of college students who already knew about Wang Yan's truly awesome past, plus Huazi was also there, and they got along pretty well with Zhutou, so they came over to congratulate him and presented a few flower baskets.

They all came to congratulate him, so of course they couldn't come for nothing. So Wang Yan ordered a lot of food and had it delivered to the restaurant, and a group of people sat or stood together to eat and drink.

Of course Pighead couldn't keep up with the train of thought. Last time we drank together, he didn't say much. He also wouldn't listen to any talk about ideals. He was only focused on making money.

But with Wang Yan around, the atmosphere was always good. Even if Pighead didn't say much, he took good care of him. As for the rest of the college students, they were all together, they were full of energy, and with more people, they had a psychological advantage and were more courageous to speak. So it was still very pleasant to be together.

"Brother Yan, is your business open?" Lu Tao asked.

"Hua Zi." Wang Yan raised his head and motioned Hua Zi to speak.

Huazi smiled and said, "I worked for three days and sold four."

"Oh, sure, how much can you bring?"

"Uh, this..."

Wang Yan said with a smile: "We just opened the shop, and Huazi is still a founding shareholder, so how can he have money? Of course, we also took into consideration that Huazi had just graduated and had no savings, so it was not easy for him. So we gave him 2,000 yuan a month for living expenses. Zhutou and I each got 1,000 yuan, which was enough for cigarettes. In addition, Huazi could drive the shop car as he pleased, and the company also paid for the gas.

When the company is on the right track, I will raise the base salary and give him commissions from car sales. The conditions are not good enough now, so I will just make do with the job first."

Huazi said, "It's pretty good, and they even provide meals. We can order lunch boxes for lunch and dinner, and we can eat together. It doesn't matter whether it's money or not. I sold four cars in three days, and I'm sure I'll sell more and more in the future, and our company will make more and more money."

Zhutou laughed: "Hua Zi, you are still a loser. Brother Yan said that you are in charge of sales, but now there is no manpower. Then you will be the leader in the future, do you still need to sell the cars yourself?"

"Anyway, I'll do whatever Brother Yan says."

Xiangnan then asked: "Let me ask you one more question, Brother Yan, do you have social security?"

"Of course you have to pay for it. If nothing else, you have to have medical insurance. People are afraid of getting sick."

"But what?" Mile continued with a smile.

Wang Yan nodded to her affirmatively: "You are wise. But now we are still losing money, so the amount we pay is definitely less. The main thing is to keep the problem of reimbursement from the hospital. Not to mention the three of us, there are a total of six people in the company now, and we are all in this situation. When the company develops well in the future, we will increase it a bit, and also pay the provident fund."

"That's pretty good." Xiangnan said, "I applied to that company, but they didn't even provide me with social security. They really treated me like a slave."

"You've just started, so there's still a probation period. Don't be discouraged. Apart from various public institutions and state-owned enterprises, who would work in one company until death? You should mainly gain experience. Even I, who have never worked before, know this. You're a college student, so you must understand it better."

"Yes, Xiangnan, speaking of this, why don't you and Lu Tao take the civil service exam?"

"It's boring if I don't want to do it." Xiangnan shook his head.

Lu Tao has the same attitude: "I have no creativity, and my ideal is not there. I just want to design a beautiful building, and watch it rise from the ground little by little, and move towards the highest hall of architectural art. I am willing to die.

Hey, I feel uncomfortable when I talk about this. Brother Yan, you don’t know, I found a design institute these two days. I only worked for two days, and there was no work. They asked me to serve tea, pour water, clean, and also let me look after the printer. Then they gave me some old project design drawings and asked me to study. I learned from him!"

"Oh, I've told you, don't be anxious. Gold will always shine, you just need a chance." Mile comforted her caringly.

Wang Yan smiled and said, "We still have to do it step by step. If I ask you to design a building now, I'm afraid you won't be able to do it. As far as I know, pure design thinking is difficult to implement in actual projects."

"Brother Yan, what you said makes sense, but you have to let me do it. How can I know if I can do it if I don't do it? Well, now I think I can do it, better than anyone else."

"No problem." Wang Yan nodded with a smile and gave a thumbs up.

This is a typical example of being overambitious but incompetent. If he says one sentence, it means he is in a good mood. If he says more, it means he is immature.

In the play, Lu Tao is of course disgusting. The most classic thing is that he acts as a pawn for his rich dad, using family affection to kidnap his poor dad from the planning bureau and force him to build with some non-compliant designs. Does he really not know? But he just pretends to be confused.

If we really get to the bottom of it, Lu Tao's poor dad, rich dad, and himself will most likely go to jail.

At this time, Xiangnan said, "Brother Yan, we have an appointment to go camping next week, do you want to go?"

Wang Yan shook his head in amusement: "If you want Huazi, just say so."

"That's not true, Brother Yan. We really want to play with you. We are all friends. Besides, you are so righteous and particular. Can you not let Huazi go out to play for a day?"

"Lu Tao is right." Mile continued, "I like playing with Brother Yan the most. He speaks well and makes me feel safe. Oh, by the way, Brother Yan, you know that Xiangnan's family is a policeman. He went back and asked his father about it. My goodness, it turns out that you were so low-key at that time. What Pighead said is not even one ten-thousandth as exciting as what you experienced. You are a great hero who is always doing good for the people."

"You've made me talk as if I can't live anymore. You want to make a final judgment on me and write an epitaph for me?" Wang Yan waved his hand and said with a smile, "It's all in the past. There's nothing to say. Besides, how can you brag about yourself? That's so low. You have to let others brag for you. That's the only way to look impressive. Right, you pighead?"

"Well, I'm just a little kid in the alley. I can't even get a seat to carry Brother Yan's shoes. Tell me about Brother Yan's past. Next time we go out, I'll stand by and brag about him."

Zhutou also has a sense of humor.

Wang Yan pointed at him with his chopsticks: "You are still slippery."

"got used to."

Mile asked with a smile: "Brother Yan, are you going tomorrow?" "Since you said so, I definitely can't be ignorant."

"Okay, it's fun to play together." Lu Tao said, "Tomorrow Mile has a sister going with him, brother Yan, you can get to know her. I'm not lying, she's very beautiful, and she's a perfect match for you."

"No, if there's something good happening, please think of us two brothers." Xiangnan complained.

"Let's play together. You can touch it yourself if it's suitable or not. You just gave it to Brother Yan without saying anything. Isn't that illegal? Right, Brother Yan?"

Wang Yan nodded repeatedly: "Yes, we can't do anything illegal."

Mile snapped his fingers and said, "Then it's happily decided. Let's contact each other in advance and make preparations."

"No, it's settled, right?" Pighead said, feeling innocent as he was forgotten.

"Then someone has to look after the house? How about I look after the house?" Wang Yan glanced at him.

"Let me see. Hey, let me tell you, I was a left-behind child since I was young. I like staying at home the most."

"Aren't you a hangout?"

Pighead laughed and said, "I string them together occasionally."

The group of people laughed heartily, in great harmony and joy...

The college students left, leaving three people busy in the store.

The company naturally followed Wang Yan's old tradition and was still called Longteng, but with "Used Car" added to the end. The legal representative of the company was Zhutou.

In addition to Wang Yan and the other two, there are three other employees: one sells cars in the store, and the other two are responsible for repairing cars.

The overall business classification is that Huazi does sales and handles formalities, Zhutou collects cars and does sales and handles formalities, and Wang Yan is in charge of the overall financial work. In fact, Wang Yan has the most work here. He has to take care of repairing cars, collecting cars, and doing sales. If there is no one to handle formalities for the customer, he has to go with him. Anyway, all the messy things are done by him.

Neither Zhutou nor Huazi could do so much work, but they did have one thing in common: tenacity. They also had a common experience: they were both unlucky, and no one knew who was passing on the knowledge to whom, and everything they did was a failure, and they lost everything.

The highlight of Zhutou is when he was hit for selling pirated books, which resulted in the business being unable to proceed, and he lost a lot of money and could not pay the employees' wages. When the employees were about to kick him out, he hit himself on the forehead with a wine bottle. Then he left humming the song "In My Heart, There Was Once a Dream".

This song is called True Hero and it has inspired many people.

In fact, Zhutou still has a brilliant idealism. He becomes more courageous and indomitable after facing more setbacks. He is very strong...

In the afternoon, everyone went about their own business.

After Wang Yan sold a car, he took the car back from Zhutou and sent it to a repair shop not far away. He stood aside and personally taught two experienced car repairmen.

Of course, he was talking about the evaluation system. To this end, he even listed various inspection processes, standardized the inspection order, and listed what is necessary and what is optional to ignore.

This is a cost-effectiveness issue. After all, he has increased the cost by repairing the car in advance, but he only makes a few thousand yuan when the car is resold. At the same time, during this period, the funds are suppressed and cannot be circulated. In addition, there are sales staff commissions, etc., all of which are costs.

You can’t do second-hand car business without losing conscience. He promised not to adjust the meter, not to be long-winded, and to return or exchange the car if there is any problem. That’s enough. Although he said that he would tell the whole condition of the car, he would definitely selectively conceal some unimportant minor problems.

What he needs to do is not to achieve the ultimate in second-hand car service, but to be better than his peers, much better. Then they will have a good reputation and can make money for a long time.

No matter what, it is all about the car, so you have to be fully aware of each car and leave yourself room for maneuver. If something goes wrong, you will be prepared to deal with it...

Although he was also conscienceless, Wang Yan had indeed made the greatest concession, and his attitude was always correct. He would solve problems when they arose, and there was absolutely no messy nagging.

Unlike other second-hand car dealers who deliberately conceal problems and then threaten and intimidate others when they are visited by others, Wang Yan certainly would not bother to do so.

If he wanted to do it, he would buy a second-hand car, and then take the initiative to go to other second-hand car dealers to cause trouble and beat them up one by one. But he really wasn't that idle yet, and he didn't have the time to do it...

In the evening, Wang Yan took stock of his daily routine.

"Today I bought two cars and sold three cars. I made a profit from all three cars..."

At that time, information was not equal, and the profit margin of used car dealers was relatively large, and it could be even greater if they were unscrupulous, so they still made a little money at the end of the day. However, compared with the manpower and the store, the current scale was definitely not enough.

However, due to funding constraints, this is the only thing we can do for now. This is the result after Wang Yan took out the loan.

If we want to improve, we still need more cars. With hundreds of cars and tens of millions of dollars invested, the daily turnover is a considerable number...

After taking inventory, Wang Yan nodded and said to the two people who were looking at him eagerly.

"Not bad. If we count today alone, we are profitable. But I only sold two cars myself, so they are making money from me. Huazi, you have to grow up quickly. You have to memorize the relevant knowledge I have sorted out for you. Only if you remember these things, the methods I teach you will be useful."

"Yes, Brother Yan, don't worry, I have memorized half of it. If I work harder, I will be able to memorize the whole thing in a few days."

Pighead laughed and said, "After all, you are a college student, your brain is very useful. I feel dizzy and sleepy when I look at those things."

"Then you have to be more careful. You are more experienced than Huazi, but your strength is limited. Buying cars is not an easy job. You know how you tricked people into buying cars."

"There is a mechanic there, and besides, Brother Yan, you are here, so what can we do even if you cheat us?"

"You really think I'm a gangster." Wang Yan shook his head with amusement.

"Why do you need to do anything, Brother Yan? I'll just stop your Sanglu there, and everyone will tremble. He won't be sure if there is anyone behind us, so he won't dare to go too far."

"Hey, Brother Yan, that's what you said. I think Pighead is right."

Wang Yan waved his hand: "Let me give you a heads up. This matter is hard to explain. If you cheat people out of their money, it's called fraud. If you give them something, it's called a dispute. I'm not a real gangster, and I don't have any impressive background. If I beat someone up, I'll have to go to jail and pay compensation.

We have to follow the laws and regulations when dealing with problems, and don't think of taking shortcuts. You two are both a little impatient, which is not good. You have to calm down and do it step by step."

"Brother Yan is right." Pighead nodded repeatedly, his big bald head shining brightly under the light bulb.

He laughed and said, "But we two brothers are still no match for Huazi's classmate, Lu Tao. Well, he is really ambitious. He wants to build a building without earning a penny."

"Stop gossiping behind people's backs." Wang Yan glanced at him, then looked at Hua Zi who wanted to say something, "We three brothers are in the same boat, none of us is as lucky as others. What are we like? We have no food to eat. So we can't understand the carefree life of officials' families. If we really understood it, we might not have their ambitions."

Zhutou was stunned for a moment, then asked Huazi beside him: "Do you understand?"

"I understand. Don't speak ill of others behind their backs. Try to put yourself in their shoes."

"Bullshit, what Brother Yan meant was that your classmate's family is well-off, but he is actually boastful because he has no ability." Pighead laughed, "Brother, you have to learn."

"No, Brother Yan, is this what you mean?"

Wang Yan smiled and shook his head: "He misinterpreted it, I meant it literally."

"How did you hear that?" Huazi asked Zhutou.

"That was just my misunderstanding." Pighead also laughed.

"Really?" Hua Zi looked at Wang Yan on the left, and then at Zhutou on the right...

I would like to express my daily gratitude to the good brothers who vote monthly, recommend and read quietly for their strong support!
