1987: Sleepless Tonight

"We need 6 cars." Lu Hao said.

The vegetable market is so big, six of them are definitely needed. The Dongfeng truck that Lu Hao is driving now can be regarded as a small truck, with a small load of only 6 tons.

And the price is not expensive, more than 2 yuan for a brand new one. Of course, this is the planned price. If the company sells it at its own price, the price will be higher, around 3 yuan.

But even so, it is still much cheaper than a car.

Apart from some not-so-famous brands, other cars such as Santana, Xiali, FAW-Audi, Peugeot, and Cherokee are relatively expensive at the moment.

Not very well-known brands, such as the Lada 21053 car, the planned supply price is 3.6 yuan each, and the market listing price is 4.26 yuan; the Romanian Dacia 1410 car, the planned supply price is 3.2 yuan each, and the market listing price The price is 3.79 yuan, although it is cheap, and they are all imported cars, but they are not well-known and the quantity is not large. If it breaks down, it may be difficult to find a place to repair it, and there are no spare parts.

The more well-known car brands are very expensive.

Xiali, all the expenses add up to about 8 yuan.

FAW Audi has not yet fully put into production. Like the Santana in 83, it is all trial assembly. There are only five or six hundred cars in total, and the price is very expensive. One car costs about 26.

Peugeot, a car costs about 18.

Cherokee, a car costs about 16.

Except for Xiali, the prices are all over 10!

"At your vegetable market, six Dongfeng trucks are enough for the early stage." Lin Jiacai nodded and estimated the price, "It can be implemented within 6 yuan."

A new Dongfeng truck costs about 3 yuan. If you buy all new cars, 5 vehicles will cost 6 yuan. Now you can buy old ones for less than 21 yuan, which is half the price.

"It saves a lot." Lu Hao said, "Is it easy to buy?"

"Don't worry, it's easy to buy. Dongfeng Motor is slow to sell, and money is tightening. Coupled with the impact of imported cars and joint venture cars, Dongfeng Motor is hard to sell. Whether it is a new car or an old car, there are a lot of them." Lin Jiacai said with a smile .

Dongfeng Motor currently mainly produces five types of vehicles, one is a 5-ton off-road vehicle, one is a 2.5-ton off-road vehicle, one is a truck, one is a flat-top truck, and the other is a flat-top diesel vehicle.

The car Lu Hao is driving now is a truck.

These models were mainly provided to the military before, and then began to turn to civilian use after the market was released. At the beginning, sales were good, but now it is getting more and more difficult.

Many cities also have their own automobile production lines, and even have joint ventures with foreign brands.

Big competition.

"As for cars, there should be one too?" Lu Hao asked.

Dongfeng's trucks are 5 tons, which can also be called trucks. He plans to buy 6 trucks to transport goods, but he still needs to get a car to drive. Trucks are definitely not suitable, and it is best to use a car.

"Buy old ones too?" Lin Jiacai asked.

"What's the price of the old one?" Lu Hao said.

Know first, then decide.

"There are many old trucks, but not many old cars. Most of them are purchased by the embassies of various countries in China, and then flow to the used car market." Lin Jiacai said, "The market price of a standard Toyota model is 3 yuan. 3.77 yuan for a Mazda sedan, 230 yuan for a Mercedes-Benz 8.54 sedan, and 2.97 yuan for a Volga sedan.”

The supply and marketing cooperative was coerced by the market economy, fell into a business crisis, and worked hard to survive. Not only did it sell souvenirs, it even did the car business.

Lin Jiacai understands this very well, and wanted to intervene, but it was difficult to intervene. The used car business is controlled by other systems, and it has already fit in, and the supply and marketing system cannot be inserted.

Every system has its own peaks, you can say hello to each other, give some face, and get goods at a cheap price, but it is very difficult to get involved and share the cake.

"It's very cheap." Lu Hao said.

These are equivalent to imported cars. The original price is very expensive, and the ones that can be used are either rich or expensive. The price of tens of thousands of dollars is indeed not expensive for the value of the car itself.

"It's very cheap, but you don't know how much the purchase price of these old cars is?" Lin Jiacai said with a smile. The purchase price of the 9000 sedan is 1.1 yuan, and the purchase price of the Volga sedan is 230 yuan."

Lu Hao was stunned for a while.

The difference between the purchase price of these old cars and the market price is 3 times!

Two hundred percent profit!

The price difference is too big. The key is that the base is very large. The purchase price of the cheapest Volga car has reached 8000 yuan, while the market price is 2.97 yuan. Once you collect and sell it, you can earn 2.17 yuan!

There is also Mercedes-Benz 230, the purchase price is 2.54 yuan, and the market price reaches 8.54 yuan, with a difference of 6 yuan!

"In this comparison, the market price of these old cars is not cheap, right? Imported cars, even old ones, are very popular, and they are easy to sell. Our system also wanted to get involved in the used car market before, but we couldn't get in. , This piece of meat is too fat, and there is a lot of oil and water in it." Lin Jiacai said.

Organized, connected, money is really easy to make!

Make an account of these old cars casually, and you can make a lot of money by selling one off the account!

"I'd better buy a new car." Lu Hao said.

He is interested in the Mercedes-Benz 230, but he thought that the purchase price was only 2.54 yuan, but the market price reached 8.54 yuan. Let alone whether it is in stock, even if it is, wouldn't it be a big injustice if he bought it himself?

"Knowing the purchase price, I really don't want to buy these old cars again." Lin Jiacai said, "What car do you want to buy?"

"Santana." Lu Hao said without hesitation.

In 83, the Shanghai stock market imported Santana auto parts from the German Federal Automobile Company and assembled them into complete vehicles, but the quantity was not large at that time. Domestic companies have entered into a joint venture with the Federal German Volkswagen AG to create Volkswagen AG.

Only at this time did Santana's production increase.

Santana is a hot-selling product in the market and is very popular. The joint production is mainly to save foreign exchange expenses and produce it by itself to offset imports.

To put it another way, foreigners can't let foreigners earn money, they have to earn it themselves.

The sales of Santana are mainly handled by the Shanghai Automobile Industry Corporation. Once the products are offline, there is no need to worry about selling them, and there are even small batches of exports.

"I guess if you want to buy a new car, you will probably buy this one too. The price of this car has risen sharply. In 83, the ex-factory price was only 3 yuan. The supply price was calculated at a rate of 2.8% of the ex-factory price. In 84, The ex-factory price was adjusted to 4 yuan, and the rate also increased to 4.5%. In 86, the ex-factory price was adjusted to 6 yuan. This year, it was even more expensive. The price was adjusted in February, and the ex-factory price was adjusted to 2 yuan, and it was adjusted again last month, and now the ex-factory price is almost 7 yuan." Lin Jiacai said.

The sales volume is very good. Previously, the price was adjusted once a year. This year until now, only in August, it has been adjusted twice, reaching 8, which has nearly tripled in 8 years!

This is just the factory price!
