Great Power Fighting Falcon
Chapter 266 Li Wanwan’s car purchase story
Li Zhan almost used up all the control in his life to sit down peacefully instead of rushing out of the door to take a taxi and go straight to Loma. When I had dinner with my senior brother last night, my senior brother didn't say anything, and he kept everything confidential. But he doesn't blame his senior brother. Judging from the previous news, it is of great significance to choose this time for the first flight.
I boarded the plane with great excitement, but my heart had already flown to Chengluoma. Cheng Luoma is really a tormenting little goblin, and he once again gave the Chinese people unexpected joy after thirteen years. It’s only thirteen years, which is too short for a successful fourth-generation aircraft.
If the first flight of the J-10 shows that Chengdu Lockheed Martin has caught up with its big brother Shen Hoy, then the first flight of the fourth-generation aircraft has established Chengdu Lockheed Martin's position as the leader in the domestic aviation industry in one fell swoop.
"Master, the fourth generation aircraft has made its first flight."
"I know."
"My senior brother is a test pilot. He flew it. I saw it. It was him."
"I know too."
"I really want to blow up the fourth-generation aircraft."
"It's not up to you."
"I……"
"Carrier-based fighter pilots receive overseas compensation. In addition to draw rod fees, they also receive overseas compensation."
"I understand, I will never forget my original intention..."
An A330 wide-body passenger plane roared off from a third-rate airport, taking Li Zhan on his way home. As a millionaire, Li Zhan, who was accustomed to sitting in the cockpit, gritted his teeth and bought a business class cabin, spending several hours on the lever fee.
After boarding the plane, Li Zhancheng was frightened by the enthusiasm of the flight attendant. He didn't need anything. He didn't even dare to go to the toilet during the entire flight. He timidly sat in his seat and breathed properly. This is the second time I have flown on a civilian airline. The first time I got off the training base and sat in economy class for a while. Now I feel even more uncomfortable in the more relaxed business class.
Li Zhan, whose excitement had not completely subsided, began to think wildly. In the future, it would be best to take a vacation during long-distance flight training, fly his own plane directly to the Xi County Station, and take a taxi home for fifty yuan.
In fact, what he thought about most was what he talked about on the phone with his master Liu Guojian before boarding the plane.
Where does the future go?
Should he join the Flying Shark training team as required by his master, or should he stay with the Air Force and continue working towards flying a fourth-generation aircraft? Pulling the lever and Fei Haibu are just a joke. Liu Guojian and Li Zhan have the same consensus - Li Zhan's personal development prospects have long been highly integrated with the development of the army. In other words, no matter where he goes, it will not have a great impact on him personally.
The young pilot who has won seven first-class awards is always a treasure wherever he goes. It can even be said that in the next thirty years, Li Zhan will basically win. However, this kind of life is not what he pursues, and this kind of situation is not what he consciously wants. He has one and only one purpose - to dedicate his life to his beloved cause of the People's Air Force.
The fourth-generation aircraft has made its first flight, but it will still take several years before it enters service. There was a gap of six years between the first flight of the J-10 and its entry into service. There were very big changes between the early prototypes and the mass-produced models that were officially put into service. From this point of view, when the fourth-generation aircraft enters mass production and enters service, there will definitely be major changes from the current first-flight model.
It is not realistic to open a fourth-generation machine as soon as possible.
Or go to the Flying Sharks training team first?
When the plane landed at Nangang Red International Airport, Li Zhan didn't have a clear inclination. After seeing Ying Wanjun waiting at the arrival gate, he simply stopped thinking about work.
"You're still here."
"Uncle asked me to stay at your house tonight."
"Did you come by car?"
"Um."
Li Zhan subconsciously ignored the important information and looked at the time. It was around three o'clock in the afternoon. He thought about it and said, "I remember you got your driver's license."
"Yes, I told you before going home last month."
Li Zhan said, "Let's go buy a car."
"Huh?" Ying Wanjun didn't respond.
Li Zhan waved his hand proudly, "Buy a car. For several generations, Lao Li's family has not had any other vehicles except ox carts. It is also inconvenient to visit relatives during the Chinese New Year without a car. I can't drive, but you can." Let’s drive, let’s go, I carry the China Construction Bank Dragon Card with me, which charges a lever fee.”
Ying Wanjun was dragged into the taxi by Li Zhan and didn't react for a long time. She took a quick look and saw that Li Zhan was wearing casual clothes. The Li Ning brand sportswear he bought last year was a pretense of fighting clothes. It looked like he had done it a long time ago. Okay, you’re ready to show off!
But why is buying a car easier than buying groceries?
On January 11, 2011, the day when the fourth-generation aircraft made its first flight, Li Zhan was in a good mood. Buying a car is a big deal, a really big deal in a family. To a certain extent, it is taken more seriously than buying a house. Houses are the foundation, and cars are consumables. People will basically go bankrupt and even buy real estate even if they are in debt. But for cars, if they don't have spare money, they will basically not consider it.
After the global economic crisis in 2008, the country launched a 4 trillion economic stimulus plan, vigorously promoted infrastructure construction, vigorously stimulated domestic demand, and upgraded exports to domestic sales. There are two major policies that are closely related to people's interests. The first is to bring home appliances to the countryside, and the second is to bring cars to the countryside. Starting from 2009, you can enjoy a 13% subsidy when purchasing designated home appliances, and you can enjoy a 50% or 25% off purchase tax discount for cars with an engine capacity of less than 1.6 liters.
Against this background, the home appliance and automobile markets have experienced explosive growth. Various banking companies quickly followed up and issued a large number of relevant policies. For example, installment payment of several thousand yuan for home appliances, or a loan to buy a car, even with zero down payment.
Stimulated by such huge benefits, the car market went crazy. Many young people who had little money and really wanted to own a car of their own jumped into it. What followed was an increase in the number of cars on the road. many.
The most critical change is that the general environment in the past two years has changed people's consumption concepts. Since then, young Chinese have entered an era of spending money in the future.
Before 2008, cars were an unattainable luxury in the eyes of the general public. But this year, they have become a household necessity that can be had with just one's teeth.
Unless there are special circumstances, everyone in the army must watch the news broadcast every day. Therefore, although Li Zhan is isolated in the military camp at the foot of the border mountains, he has a very clear grasp of the country's major policies, and his sense of smell is better than that of ordinary people. More sharp.
Therefore, buying a car is not an impulsive decision, but a rigorous decision made after hours of rigorous calculations, repeated demonstrations and analysis combined with the 2010 annual income and specific debt situation.
There is no pressure on the mortgage. Li Zhan even wants to pay it off in advance because he has plenty of money.
Both of them knew nothing about the car market in Nangang. They told the taxi driver. He was even more excited than Li Zhan and Li Zhan. He skillfully changed gears and introduced the car along the way. It’s just that Li Zhan has no interest in several models of cars that taxi drivers strongly recommend.
After getting off the car at Auto City, Li Zhan asked Ying Wanjun, "What kind of car do you like?"
"I know Jetta." Ying Wanjun spread her hands and said, "All the driving schools are Jetta."
"Jetta." Li Zhan quickly recalled the painting scenes of many training vehicles. He frowned and said, "That car is too small and looks delicate. I drive a heavy-duty twin-engine twin-tail fighter, and the car is too small. Fits the style.”
The two of them walked and talked.
In front of the store was the Great Wall 4S store. Two girls wearing black business suits and standing 1.6 meters tall stood outside to solicit customers. One of them blocked the road, lunged towards the store with her lower limbs, and pointed one hand at the store. , the other hand kept gesturing towards the store as if directing traffic, and the other girl smiled and shouted in unison, "Welcome! Welcome!"
Diagonally opposite is the Mercedes-Benz 4S store. The entire store is profound and connotative. A tall and beautiful female saleswoman wearing a dark blue woolen coat and flat shoes stands there reservedly with a smile to welcome visitors from all directions, in a low-key luxury style.
"That car is big." Ying Wanjun pointed to the H5 in the Great Wall store and said. It is not called H5 at the moment, but Haval CUV. Haval is not an independent brand yet.
Li Zhan glanced at it, and before being grabbed by the two girls' arms, he and Ying Wanjun avoided it perfectly, and said, "It's big, but the style is not right. Have you seen the plane I flew? It's masculine, powerful and No loss of grace.”
"I know, Su Liangqi is better-looking than the J-7, bigger than the J-7, and has two engines." Ying Wanjun said, "I know some fighter models, but I really don't understand the car."
Li Zhan stopped, looked at the Mercedes-Benz store, and said hesitantly, "How about buying a Mercedes-Benz without doing anything else?"
"I won't buy it." Ying Wanjun shook her head and refused without thinking, "Looking at the decoration of their store, it doesn't fit your style at all. It's too high-profile."
"Why do I feel so low-key? They also make aero engines, and their technology is very good." Li Zhan said.
Ying Wanjun said, "You are already rich. There is no need to spend so much money on a car. You go back to the army and I go back to school. Who will drive it at home? Even if someone at home drives one, it is unreasonable to drive around in a Mercedes-Benz."
"Then you're going to be blind." Li Zhan scratched his head and said distressedly, "I haven't come back for a few years. I didn't expect that there are so many car models now. They are popping up in piles like bamboo shoots after a rain."
Ying Wanjun looked around blankly, then suddenly pointed to a store in the corner in front and said, "How about that one? I see that many army cars are of that brand. Hey, it's Mitsubishi Motors, an expert in SUVs."
"That's right!" Li Zhan slapped his head, "How could I forget this. But original Mitsubishi ones are more expensive, or you can look for Changfeng Cheetah ones. Let's go and have a look first."
The two went straight to the Mitsubishi store.
It was a very low-key store with simple decoration. There were not many customers. Three or two people were surrounding small SUVs. Li Zhan saw the Pajero V93 placed on a ten-centimeter-high table at a glance, and he recognized it at that moment. Sometimes when buying something, you just look at it at first sight. It is normal to choose between A and B for several months and finally buy C.
"It's just him, the car of the division-level commander of the army." Li Zhan pointed at the V93 and said.
A young man came over and said hello, "Hello, sir, do you want to see a Pajero? It's an imported, four-wheel drive off-road vehicle, endorsed by Jackie Chan."
Li Zhan smiled and said, "I know this car very well."
"Sir, please take a look at the configuration list. There are three configurations, the low-end version is priced at 380,000 yuan, and the top version is priced at 440,000 yuan." The young man introduced it enthusiastically, and made the key points clear in his words.
Their store cannot sell a few V93s in a year. It has a square shape, a high ground clearance, and an old-style interior without a large screen. It only sells for 400,000 yuan. The fuel consumption of 3.06 cylinders is impressive. Almost no one buys this car as a family car.
Enterprises and units that need to frequently travel to construction sites are very fond of this kind of car. It is durable, has strong off-road capabilities and can go anywhere. This is also the reason why the army is equipped with this vehicle in large quantities. Changfeng Cheetah even built a military version of the V73 specifically for the army. This V93 is a heavily modified model of the V73.
Li Zhan nodded slightly and asked Ying Wanjun, "More than 400,000, it's not bad, is this it?"
"More than four hundred thousand!" Ying Wanjun was speechless.
The sales guy is so stupid, is this all? Is there anyone who buys a car like this? It can't be true. It's almost time to get off work. Why are you teasing me? The key for such a young couple is to dress plainly and plainly. The Li Ning sportswear worn by the men is still the old style from last year.
When a house in the urban area only costs 500,000 to 600,000 yuan, who would spend more than 400,000 yuan to buy a car? That must be a very rich person!
But these two don't look alike.
"Sir, what's your surname?" The young salesman became more enthusiastic and greeted him more enthusiastically anyway. What's the difference between being a man without ideals and being a salty fish?
"My surname is Li." Li Zhan replied with a smile.
Standing there with his back straight and his eyes firm, he looked like he was not an ordinary person. The young salesman was well-informed and would not make superficial judgments based on his clothes. Are there many examples of people who look down on others and end up missing out on big deals?
"What's your surname, beauty?"
"answer."
"Mr. Li, Miss Ying, please sit here, sit down and chat slowly, have something to drink, there is Luo Han Guo..."
"Just get some boiling water." Li Zhan said.
The two of them sat down on the sofa next to the Pajero V93 and kept looking at the car. Li Zhan liked it more and more. Ying Wanjun was also very satisfied with it and said, "The chassis is so high that it is good to drive in the village." , the road in our village always gets stuck when it rains. It’s just too expensive.”
“You get what you pay for,” Li Zhan said.
Ying Wanjun asked, "Do you really want to buy it?"
"Buy it, why not buy it." Li Zhan calculated the account, "I had one million in rod fees and salary allowances last year. It's enough to buy a car and a house."
"Buying a house again? Isn't it necessary?" Ying Wanjun couldn't accept it.
The apartment in the county town where two elderly people live is empty, so buying another house would be a waste.
Li Zhan said in a deep voice, "I feel that house prices are going to rise sharply soon. If you can afford it now, buy a few more units. If you don't live in them in the future, you can rent them out. If you need some money urgently, you can also cash out."
"Even if it goes up, it won't go much higher. The per capita income is just that much." Ying Wanjun said.
Li Zhan shook his head, "No, I can responsibly say that it will definitely rise sharply, and it is very likely that it will rise to a level that is out of reach for most people."
"What's the basis?" Ying Wanjun asked.
They were all top students, and the discussion turned into a serious academic exchange, which made the young salesman who brought the water sit aside and laugh with them, not daring to speak.
Li Zhan analyzed in a deep voice, "The troika of economic growth is investment, consumption, and net exports. The main engine of my country's economic growth is net exports. The economic crisis in 2008 severely damaged my country's foreign trade, and the economic growth structure has changed. The government The purpose of the 4 trillion economic stimulus plan is to make a fuss about investment, but infrastructure investment is slow to bear fruit, and nothing can be seen in ten or eight years. In this case, consumption becomes the only straw. . What can be more powerful and stimulate people’s desire to consume than purchasing real estate? When you see that housing prices continue to rise, do you feel a sense of urgency..."
The two discussed for more than half an hour, and they didn't stop until the young salesman's smile froze.
"Oh, buying a car, let's continue talking about how to better serve the people tonight." Li Zhan said with a smile.
The young salesman breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Mr. Li, why don't you give it a test drive first? It's a really good car, it's very easy to drive, and it's very powerful."
"Xiao Ying, go for a test drive." Li Zhan said.
Ying Wanjun pointed to her nose, "Oh, I just got my driver's license..."
"Mr. Li, don't you want to test drive it for a year?" The young salesman's smile was a little ugly. He didn't even test drive it. Basically, he was here to play.
Li Zhan said awkwardly, "I don't have a driver's license."
"You really know how to joke."
Ying Wanjun said, "He flies a plane and he really doesn't have a driver's license."
"You're even better at joking, haha."
