Rebirth of science and technology to rejuvenate the country

After Yuan Xia had breakfast, he went out with Yu Xingyi, planning to send Yu Xingyi to school first, and then to the factory by himself, but found that the car couldn't start anyway.

Yu Xingyi said: "The car is broken. See if it can be repaired. If it can't be repaired, call the master in the factory to fix it. I'm in time for the morning class, and I can't ride the bike in time. Let's just take a taxi."

"Okay, you can go." Yuan Xia got out of the car, took out the toolbox, and checked it. In fact, it is very old, and the parts are seriously worn out, and they are about to be scrapped.

Yuan Xia thought about it and decided to buy a car again.

He has driven this second-hand car for several years, and it is rare to see this model of car on the street now, so it can be regarded as an old antique.

With his current net worth, not to mention driving an Audi, he can at least afford to drive a Santana, but Yuan Xia just doesn't want to buy a Santana because it doesn't deserve the price.

Many people persuaded him to change his car. During the summer vacation, Si Haibo mentioned it several times, saying that if he was reluctant, he would give him one, because this car does not have air-conditioning, and every time he drives it, he will sweat all over from the heat.

Si Haibo also said that now is a society that loves vanity and looks at the surface. If you drive a broken van and go to the government and the bank to do some work, people will not look at you seriously.Cooperative friends and businessmen will also underestimate your strength.

Yuan Xia knew that what Si Haibo said was reasonable, of course he didn't need Si Haibo to buy him a car, so he just took this opportunity to change a car.

There happened to be no urgent work today, so I called the office and went to a car dealership with a briefcase.

In the mid-90s, China’s economy had just started to pick up, but there were already a lot of people who got rich in the wave of reform and opening up. Naturally, it was impossible to buy an existing car, and ordering a new car would have to wait until next year.

Yuan Xia is still learning about the models and prices. The owner of the car dealership has already collected several deposits. At least they all start with Santana, and they also buy Audis and Crowns. One must know that the price of an Audi 100 is more than 33 , the crown is 48.

Yuan Xia couldn't help but look sideways, the people who bought cars were basically suits and leather shoes, with gold chains around their necks, big brothers pinned to their waists, and some with big gold teeth, the standard equipment for nouveau riche.

Yuan Xia looked at the figures on the price list, even the Alto cost more than 7 yuan, and the Santana cost more than 13 yuan. He thought of his own dump truck, which was so big and with a stronger engine power, it was actually not worth an Alto The money in this small box made me feel aggrieved.

Yuan Xia handed back the price list to the salesperson who received him.

The other party asked: "Which car did you see?"

Yuan Xia said: "I still have to think about it."

Hearing what he said, the other party gave him a blank stare without hesitation. Seeing how poorly he was dressed, he knew that he was someone who couldn't afford a car. Just now he didn't let him introduce the car model, and he told him to see it for himself. It's a waste of my time and delaying his making money.

Yuan Xia didn't take it seriously, turned around and walked outside.

The salesman spat in the back: "If you can't afford it, don't come!"

Yuan Xia didn't bother to pay attention to such people, and left directly.I was stopped by a young guy at the door. The guy looked very happy. He was the kind that would not be easily disliked. He smiled all over his face and said, "Boss, do you want to buy a car?"

Yuan Xia glanced at him: "Are you selling cars?"

The other party nodded sharply: "Yes, yes! I am the salesperson of the Rongfa Automobile Store opposite. I can get you any kind of car you need. And you don't need to wait for a few months, many of them are existing cars .If you need it urgently, you can come to us.”

Yuan Xia looked in the direction of his finger, there were a few cars parked at the entrance of the Rongfa car dealership diagonally across the road, and there was a sign saying "High Price Recycling", and he understood: "You sell second-hand cars? "

"The boss is a smart man. In fact, many second-hand cars are also good. They are cheap and have similar performance. Many of them are still very new. As long as they are not accident cars, I think they are all worth buying. They are all transportation tools anyway. Spray the paint and do the beauty. , Most people can’t tell whether it’s a new car or an old car. Boss, do you think this is the reason? The key is that it’s fast, and you don’t have to wait a few months.” The other party said enthusiastically, “Boss, come and have a look?”

Yuan Xia heard that he was not shy about talking about the accident car at all, and felt that the young man was very honest, so he said, "Okay, let's go and have a look."

The young man was very happy, and said: "Thank you boss for the honor. The boss must be a real person. What's the boss's name? My name is Wu Zhiyuan. This is my business card, with the phone number of our car dealership on it."

Seeing the other party's name, Yuan Xia immediately had a good impression and said, "My surname is Yuan, and this is my business card."

Wu Zhiyuan saw Yuan Xia's name, and then laughed: "Isn't it a coincidence, our names have the same character. It's so fateful, it's the first time I've seen someone with the surname Yuan. I know Xingyuan Machinery, I'll go back to It’s a big factory. Is the boss really the boss of Xingyuan Machinery?”

Yuan Xia didn't expect that the other party knew about Xingyuan Machinery, and said, "Yes, I am the boss of Xingyuan Machinery."

Wu Zhiyuan looked back at the car dealership they came out of, and said indignantly: "That car seller really looks down on people. Can the boss still afford a car? He just doesn't want to buy it."

Yuan Xia said: "There are snobs everywhere, don't worry about it. What kind of cars do you usually have here?"

Wu Zhiyuan said: "There are some cars of all kinds, but second-hand Santanas are the most. Many bosses who have made a fortune sell their old cars for new ones. The boss must need a car urgently. I will choose a car with the best performance and mileage for the boss. Least car."

Yuan Xia smiled and said, "Thank you so much."

A woman was looking at the Rongfa car dealership. Wu Zhiyuan called her "Gu", so she should be a relative.There are a few used cars in the store, mostly Santanas, that look old and new.

Wu Zhiyuan recommended to Yuan Xia a white Santana car that looked a bit old, and said: "Boss, I recommend you to buy this car. Although this car looks a bit old, it actually has the best performance and has the best mileage." At least. Looking old, the main reason is that the original owner didn’t take care of it very much. He couldn’t fit it in the garage at home, so he parked it in the open field. The car is only three years old. Why don’t you try it?”

Yuan Xia and Wu Zhiyuan both opened the car door and got into the car. The inside was indeed relatively new. The car started, and the sound of the engine was normal. Once the accelerator was stepped on, the acceleration was also normal. Yuan Xia drove the car and strolled around the road at the door .

During the test drive, Wu Zhiyuan introduced the performance and advantages of the car like a treasure.Yuan Xia asked Wu Zhiyuan: "How much is the price of this car?"

Wu Zhiyuan said: "The owner bought it for 18 yuan, but now this new car sells for more than 13 yuan. Let's say it's [-]% new, and it sells for [-] yuan. The boss sincerely wants it, so you can give it [-] yuan."

Yuan Xia said: "It's a bit expensive. It's only [-] yuan to buy a new Alto."

Wu Zhiyuan smiled and said, "Boss, that's not what you said. This is Santana after all."

Yuan Xia said: "I am a car builder. The new cost of this car is at most [-] to [-]. According to the normal price, a new car can be bought for [-]. Besides, this is a second-hand car, so it needs to be discounted."

Wu Zhiyuan was dumbfounded: "Boss, is what you said true? The cost of this car is only 3 to [-] yuan?"

Yuan Xia nodded: "Of course. That's why I didn't buy it there, because I didn't think it was worth it."

It has been rumored that when Santana was listed in China, the German side suggested a price of 5 to 8 yuan, and the Chinese side directly priced it at 18 yuan.Yuan Xia thinks this statement is a bit plausible, but Chinese people who have just become rich don't think it's expensive, and instead buy it like crazy.

"Sell 18 for [-] to [-]? That's too cruel!" Wu Zhiyuan sighed in admiration.

Yuan Xia said: "The performance of this car is not bad, I will pay [-]."

The corner of Wu Zhiyuan's mouth twitched: "Boss, this price really can't be sold."

Yuan Xia said: "May I ask, what is your commission for selling a car?"

Wu Zhiyuan said: "There are so many! The boss is my relative, and he gave me 25 yuan to sell a car."

This time it was Yuan Xia's turn to twitch the corner of his mouth: "Then how many cars can you sell a month?"

Wu Zhiyuan chuckled: "If you're lucky, you can sell a dozen or twenty cars a month."

Yuan Xiaxin said that this relative was really deceitful, so she said, "Why don't you sell cars elsewhere?"

"I'm uneducated, my family is poor, I haven't finished junior high school for one semester, and I don't even have a junior high school diploma. Who would want me? The car dealership across the street must at least graduate from high school, and they are all relatives and acquaintances of the boss. Go. My relatives are willing to let me sell cars, which is already very good." Wu Zhiyuan said.

"I think you know a lot about cars." Yuan Xia didn't think he was a person who didn't graduate from junior high school.

"Well, I usually like cars quite a lot. I like to read some books and think about them, so I understand a little bit." Wu Zhiyuan said.

This Yuan Xiaxin, in this era, there are many smart people who have been delayed in their studies because of poverty, but this does not prevent these people from being able to make a career in the end. Yuan Xia said: "Xiao Wu, do you want to change jobs?"

Wu Zhiyuan froze for a moment: "Where are you going?"

Yuan Xia said: "Come to our factory. We also sell cars, but they are dump trucks, excavators, cement pump trucks and so on. We sell cars in our factory with a basic salary plus a commission. If we sell a car, at least 100 RMB. If the unit price is high, such as excavators and cement pump trucks, one can be sold for two to three hundred yuan.”

Wu Zhiyuan was a little excited: "Is it far away? But I don't even have a junior high school diploma. Don't you have any requirements for academic qualifications?"

Yuan Xia said: "Usually there are still, but there can be exceptions. We provide food and lodging, and travel subsidies for business trips. In the future, we may buy insurance for them. When they are old, they can receive pensions, just like regular workers."

Wu Zhiyuan was very moved: "But I am the only one who sells cars in my relative's shop. I left, and they are all gone."

Yuan Xia said: "I just suggest you, think about it yourself. I think you are very capable and should be qualified for the work in our factory."

In the end, Yuan Xia bought this second-hand Santana for [-]. Before leaving, he said to Wu Zhiyuan: "If you want to come to Xingyuan for a try, you can call the number on my business card. You are welcome to join Xingyuan."

Yuan Xia bought a new car, everyone was surprised, the boss was finally willing to change the car, but he actually bought a second-hand car, really worthy of the boss's style.

The employees of Xingyuan know that their boss is a very stingy person. There is no air-conditioning in their office, but the office of the R&D team must be equipped with air-conditioning.

The boss doesn't make small dishes, but the employees must ensure that there are two kinds of meat, one vegetable and one soup, and the dishes have to be eaten in different ways.

A few days after Yuan Xia bought the car, he received a call from Wu Zhiyuan, saying that he wanted to work in Xingyuan.Yuan Xia fully agreed, just let him come over the next day.

Wu Zhiyuan is indeed a talent. After a month of business training, he sold two long-arm excavators that he recycled and put in the warehouse for ashes.
