Chapter 122: It's not worth it for the sake of feelings
The manager nodded slightly at Zhou Bing: "Okay, please follow me."

The lobby manager led the way in person. Sun Yanming and Fang Yuan looked at each other, thinking that he was giving Zhou Bing too much face. This uncle in basketball uniform must be not simple.

The lobby manager led the crowd into the elevator room, entered a string of passwords on the LCD screen of an elevator, and the silver elevator door opened with a whimper. It turned out that this was an elevator exclusively for VIPs.

Not long after entering the elevator, it stopped steadily and the silver elevator door opened again. Only then did Fang Yuan realize that everyone had come to a spacious private room.

The private room of more than 300 square meters is very magnificently decorated, full of European style, and is clearly divided into two parts.

Facing the elevator door is a set of European-style white sofas, and against the wall on the left is a miniature bar counter, and bottles of red wine are placed in shiny glass cabinets.

Walking through the rest area, there is a huge golden dining table inside, matched with white high-back seats, it looks very elegant and high-end, and it is more than enough to accommodate the eight people far below.

"Sit, everyone, sit whatever you want." Zhou Bing greeted everyone, and enthusiastically asked Sun Yanming to sit in the main seat facing the elevator door.

Zhou Bing was the oldest, and he was entertaining guests. Of course, Sun Yanming refused to sit there, and humbly said that Zhou Bing was the host.

"Whether master or not, we are all friends." Zhou Bing smiled, knowing that if he refused again, he might not be able to eat today, so he had no choice but to sit in the master seat.

Sun Yanming and Fang Yuan sat on Zhou Bing's left and right hands, while the others were more casual and chaotic for a while before they all sat down.

To be honest, not only ordinary salesmen such as Fang Yuan and Wang Hu have never been to such a high-end place, and they look up at the environment in the private room from time to time, even Sun Yanming, who is well-informed, is the first time a big girl gets on a sedan chair. A little more restrained on top of the white high-back seat.

"Do you have any taboos?" Zhou Bing looked around the crowd and asked.

"No no."

Everyone responded in unison that they had no scruples, especially Liu Liang and the others said that they have good teeth, can eat anything, and dare to eat anything.

What a shame, Sun Yanming sat there with an angry old face, but he didn't dare to reprimand them aloud, so he had to cover his eyes and put his head down.

The lobby manager took the menu from the white cabinet next to it and put it on the dining table respectfully. Zhou Bing greeted everyone cheerfully: "Let's see what you like to eat."

The menus of ordinary small restaurants are as simple as a piece of plastic A4 paper. The menus of this Yuehua Hotel are thick and thick, with gold borders around them, so you don’t need to open them. Everyone has already expected that the price will be extremely expensive.

Everyone usually makes a joke, and it’s okay to make a few jokes. Now Zhou Bing treats guests to dinner. Even Liu Liang and Zhao Daming, who love to joke the most, dare not speak out. Come and find out.

None of the seven people in Zhenghong Automobile Co., Ltd. ordered food. Zhou Bing greeted everyone again, but still no one went to get the menu.

There was really no other way, Zhou Bing had no choice but to order the dishes himself, but he didn't even look at the recipes. He looked up at the lobby manager and said, "Eight signature dishes, plus a soup..."

Zhou Bing was about to wave his hand to let the lobby manager go, when he realized that he hadn't ordered any wine yet, so he looked around and asked everyone what to drink.

"I still want to drive, so I won't drink." Sun Yanming always emphasizes that safety comes first, and today is not an occasion where drinking is mandatory, so of course you can stop drinking if you don't.

"Yes, yes, safety first." Zhou Bing agreed with Sun Yanming's statement very much, and did not force everyone to drink. He also said that he had not drunk liquor or beer for many years, and usually only drank a little red wine.

Finally, after everyone ordered a case of beer and a bottle of red wine, the lobby manager put away the menu and turned to leave.

Wang Hu stood up very sharp-sighted and first poured tea for Zhou Bing, Sun Yanming, and Fang Yuan. After Zhou Bing smiled and nodded his thanks, he turned around and asked Fang Yuan impatiently: "Fang Yuan, I also said it just now. , I didn’t buy a Land Rover Discovery 3 that year, but later bought a Buick Excelle for 11.79.

I have always been very regretful, but I heard you said that the long-term Land Rover has found no three major problems, and the minor problems continue, so I hesitated, because I don't want to worry about repairing the car anymore..."

Zhou Bing said that he knew that Fang Yuan was very professional and reliable, and had a very good character. He trusted Fang Yuan very much. What he wanted to know now was the quality of this Range Rover and how to buy this Range Rover.

"I have introduced to you the configuration of the Range Rover. It is a good car, but it is not suitable for you to drive." Fang Yuan replied softly.

Zhou Bing turned his head to look at Fang Yuan, and didn't speak, just quietly waiting for him to continue his introduction.

Fang Yuan explained that the situation of the Land Rover Range Rover is the same as that of the Land Rover Discovery 3 that Zhou Bing saw back then. The quality of the three major parts of the car is quite stable. The problem is that after a long period of time, various minor problems continue.

Like the Land Rover Discovery 3, there are many electronic system failures, all kinds of audio and video components suddenly black, doors and locks cannot be closed, battery failure, abnormal sound of the sunroof, sometimes all the instruments are normal just now, and there are no fault codes. One of them burst out, which caught people off guard.

The annoying thing is that there are fault codes popping up. Sometimes it’s not really a problem. It may be that the plug is loose and it’s in a virtual connection state. But it’s necessary to check the fault, clear the fault code, and sometimes repair it. It is a waste of time and effort.

If the owner of the Land Rover is not good-natured, he will definitely be very annoying when faced with endless small problems one after another, and it will make people mad and want to smash the car.

In addition, there is a very low probability that this Range Rover will suddenly turn off during driving and cannot drive normally. This is caused by a broken crankshaft.

In addition, the rear oil seal will leak oil. This is not the most serious problem, but it will make the chassis oily.

The solution is very simple, just to replace a worthless apron. However, in order to replace this inconspicuous apron, the labor cost will scare the car owner, because the chassis needs to be disassembled, and even the gearbox drive shaft must be lifted. to be replaced smoothly.

Hearing this, Zhou Bing stared at Fang Yuan with his eyes wide open for a moment, his lips parted twice, and he tried not to speak, but quietly listened to Fang Yuan's introduction.

"As a four-wheel-drive off-road vehicle, the Range Rover still uses air suspension." Fang Yuan had already noticed Zhou Bing's expression, but he had to tell the truth.

It’s just that the windy air suspension often makes abnormal noises. It’s not because of the bad roads. It happens even when driving in urban areas. This is also a common failure of the Range Rover. If it’s within the warranty period, it can be replaced for free. , Like this 15-model Land Rover Range Rover, the owner can only pay for it.

Finally, Fang Yuan said that the biggest difference between the Range Rover and the Discovery 3 is that this Range Rover has an all-aluminum body, except for the high-strength steel that is still used in the core part of the frame.

The advantage of the all-aluminum body is that the weight of the whole vehicle is reduced, by more than 300 kilograms at once, and the fuel consumption is reduced accordingly. The negative effect is that there must be no accidents.

Because there is no way to sheet metal the aluminum cover, it can only be replaced, and Land Rover's maintenance is notoriously expensive, and replacing the fenders can be astronomical.

When Fang Yuan said this, Zhou Bing's face was completely black. He was not afraid of expensive maintenance. What he was worried about was that there were too many minor faults, and he couldn't bear to go to the auto repair shop or 4S shop every day.

Seeing Zhou Bing's drooping face, Fang Yuan told Zhou Bing that the maintenance cost of the Range Rover is high, the fuel consumption is high, the maintenance is not cheap, and there are many small problems.

People who will spend millions to buy a Land Rover must have money and leisure, have a lot of cars at home, are tired of BBA and want to try something new, and know a little bit of car knowledge to find problems in time.

His temper must be optimistic and calm, his mentality must be Buddhist, and he must be able to calmly face small problems that arise suddenly, without getting angry and smashing the car.

So like Zhou Bing, it is not worth buying a Range Rover that is more than three years old just for the sake of feelings and dreams.

 I haven't been on the computer version for a long time, and I just found out today that I have a host.Thank you, my friend, "the die-hard fan of bullet casings", and thank you for your support.

  According to the theory, it should be updated. I will sort out the details tonight and try to see if I can explode [-] tomorrow.

  Thanks again for your support.
