Chapter 125 Testing the Family "Wow, this factory is not small." When Wang Hu walked in and took a look, he discovered that this car dealership was actually quite different. Especially the people, there were so many of them that it could only be described as a sea of people. After Ye Hongguang looked around, he said calmly, "Don't be fooled by the large number of people. Half of them are car dealers." Wang Hu and the other two observed for a while and nodded silently. At this time, Yi Xing also trotted in, holding his big belly. Many car dealers came forward to greet Yi Xing enthusiastically when they saw him. Yi Xing smiled like a Maitreya Buddha giving away money. When Zhang Chi saw Chen Lele following in, he couldn't help but raise his eyebrows. "Chizi, are you here to gamble on cars?"
Chen Lele did not inquire about the relationship between Zhang Chi and Ye Hongguang right away, but started with his own business. Sure enough, Zhang Chi couldn't just ignore it after hearing it. He nodded and said, "Yes, do you have any inside information? Can you reveal it to me for the sake of our friendship?" Chen Lele laughed, patted Zhang Chi's arm seemingly casually, and said, "Okay, since we are classmates, I will take you to see some good stuff. If you make money, you have to treat me to a meal." Zhang Chi nodded and replied casually. Led by Chen Lele, the group came to an area that looked like a booth. "Boss Gong, I've brought people to take care of your business." Chen Lele looked delicate and her voice had a seductive twang. A middle-aged man walked out of the booth, glanced at Zhang Chi, and said with a smile: "Brother, do you want to buy or gamble?" Zhang Chi asked: "Is there any difference?" Without waiting for the middle-aged man to explain. Chen Lele leaned over and whispered, "Buying means directly getting the goods. Generally, the price will be higher, but the condition of the car will definitely not be too bad. If it is an accident car, it will be clearly stated. If you gamble, it will just test your eyesight and luck." Zhang Chi nodded thoughtfully. "Can I take a look first?" The middle-aged man glanced at Chen Lele, who nodded slightly. "That's fine. Since you're Manager Chen's friend, I'll give you a 20% discount later." "Oh, Boss Gong is so generous. I'll thank you on behalf of my friend." The middle-aged man's eyes fixed on Chen Lele's hip skirt for a moment, and he chuckled, as if everything was self-explanatory. After entering the exhibition area.
What comes into view are hundreds of cars, with prices ranging from tens of thousands to millions. There are already many people inside looking at cars and bidding. Zhang Chi walked towards the place where there were most people out of curiosity. I saw more than a dozen people bidding wildly for a Maserati that looked brand new without any scratches on it. The price has been raised from 27 to 55, and some people are discussing whether to increase the price a little more. Zhang Chi walked forward and took a look curiously. It is indeed difficult to tell where the car is damaged just by looking at the appearance. If someone who doesn't know much comes by, they might think it is a brand new second-hand car. However, when Zhang Chi put his hand on the front of the car. [Engine overhaul and maintenance (80/199)] 【Vehicle computer system renovation (25/199)】 【Vehicle circuit system renovation (15/199)】 【Complete vehicle frame repair and renovation (45/199)】 【…】 Looking at the twenty or so maintenance items popping up on the light screen, Zhang Chi was speechless. Apart from not having to re-polish and re-putty, there's nothing nice about it. When Zhang Chi got closer, he found that the car window was covered with black cloth. Not only can I not check the engine compartment, I can't even see what's going on inside the car. This is purely a matter of luck. Zhang Chi smiled bitterly. Chen Lele, who was standing next to him, came over and whispered, "Chizi, you can't have this car. You'll lose a lot if you buy it." Zhang Chi's expression moved. Chen Lele continued, "I was there when this car was delivered. You can trust me." Zhang Chi nodded slightly. He didn’t expect that Chen Lele was so loyal that he even told him such inside information. If he didn't have the golden finger of Car Heart, he would have been easily fooled by the appearance of this car. Zhang Chi took a look at the car model. "A Maserati President would cost at least 500,000 or 600,000 yuan to fully repair, plus the 600,000 yuan to buy the car. Even if it is repaired, there will be no profit. The average person who buys it will lose at least 100,000 or 200,000 yuan." Zhang Chi raised his eyebrows and felt a little moved. If I buy it myself, it would only cost more than 400 kWh of electricity to completely renovate it, which is a real profit. However, if I really buy it and announce it later, I will be laughed at like a monkey.
He just saw a yellow-haired young man bid for a Porsche 718. After he took it and lifted the black cloth and the hood, he found that it was empty inside. He spent more than 30 yuan only to buy a car frame shell. It was a huge loss. Zhang Chi frowned and decided to let go of such an embarrassing thing. Ye Hongguang and the others are here today, and I don’t want to let my future partners laugh at me. After all, they don't know that they have a cheat-like golden finger called the Heart of the Car. After thinking about it. Zhang Chi touched the Maserati logo reluctantly and said with a wry smile: "I'll listen to you. Let's go take a look at other cars." Chen Lele nodded and said, "Actually, if you trust me, I can recommend a few cars to you. You can make a few hundred thousand or even hundreds of thousands of dollars by repairing them. How about it?" Zhang Chi opened his mouth and exhaled, "Okay." Forget it, I'll just go back and bring Daguang and Gangzi with me and try again. There are so many good cars anyway, so this one time won't make a difference. After taking another look at the Maserati President whose price was raised to 63, Zhang Chi turned around and left helplessly. Even if you buy this car for 63, you can make at least 50 by refurbishing it. Distressed! Zhang Chi always felt like he had lost 50 yuan and was very unwilling. Under the leadership of Chen Lele. Zhang Chi came to a Bentley Continental. Unlike other cars, this car is a hardtop convertible version, so you can see the seats and interior. Chen Lele whispered in his ear: "The engine of this car has been replaced, but there are no other problems. If you can get the original engine, you can sell it as a new car." Zhang Chi nodded indifferently. Chen Lele was secretly observing the changes in Zhang Chi's expression. The reason why she brought Zhang Chi to see this Bentley Continental was mainly to test Zhang Chi's background. The first thing is whether he can get this Bentley Continental GT priced at 166 million yuan, and the second is whether he can get the original engine. These two things require money and connections respectively. These two are the criteria for measuring whether a man is successful or not in today's society. Zhang Chi walked forward and put his hands on the car door, pretending to observe the interior. In fact, it is using the heart of the car to scan the condition of the car. It was similar to what Chen Lele said, the engine had been replaced and there were some minor problems in other places, but the energy required for repairs was very small. Since Chen Lele recommended it so enthusiastically, Zhang Chi decided to give it a try. This Bentley Continental is a 2022 hardtop with a GT V8 engine, and the price of a used car on the market is around 300 million. That means a huge profit of about 130 million.
Zhang Chi immediately made the decision and said, "This is the one we want. How do we trade it?" Chen Lele was still observing the changes in Zhang Chi's expression, but Zhang Chi knocked on the car door twice and wanted to buy it directly. "Uh, no, this is a full 166 million, don't you think about it?" Zhang Chi was stunned for a moment, and said, "What's there to consider? Didn't you say it was just an engine problem?" Chen Lele was confused for a while. "Well, then you have to get the original engine, otherwise it's worthless." Zhang Chi doesn't like to show off in front of his classmates, but everyone says so. Zhang Chi smiled and said, "Don't worry, I have a way. It's easy to get a Continental V8 engine." Chen Lele: “…” · Soon, the news that someone had bought a Bentley Continental with a low starting price of 166 million spread among the car dealership. Boss Gong personally sent Zhang Chi out. "Mr. Zhang, are you sure you don't want to look at other cars? I have a lot of good stuff here. Manager Chen should have told you about it." At this time, Chen Lele was still immersed in the shock of swiping 166 million yuan from Zhang Chi's card, and did not even notice Boss Gong winking at her. Zhang Chi waved his hand and smiled, "Boss Gong does have a lot of good stuff here, but I'm here to see the world, so I'm sorry, I plan to go somewhere else to have a look." After hearing what he said, Boss Gong didn't want to keep him any longer and could only secretly feel it was a pity. At this time, there are not many people who can pay millions of dollars at one time to buy a car. The most sold cars at his booth are generally priced below 500,000 yuan, and the profits are pitifully small. Of course, no matter how little they make, there is still a profit of several thousand or tens of thousands for a car. But what he wants is a big customer like Zhang Chi, who can bring him a huge profit of two or three hundred thousand yuan with just one car. You have to know that he has to pay Yixing 50 yuan every month for venue fees alone. Without a few big customers, he will have no profit at all. Suddenly, Boss Gong seemed to remember something. "By the way, Mr. Zhang, I'll show you the way. A little further ahead is the booth run by my buddy. He has a lot of good stuff there." Since Chen Lele is not helpful, he can just earn some commission himself. At this time, Chen Lele, who had reacted, frowned and said, "Boss Gong, what are you doing? It's as if I don't know Mr. Sun." Upon hearing this, Boss Gong couldn't help but smile awkwardly. Every time Chen Lele introduces a client and completes a deal, she gets a 1% commission. Just like the Bentley Continental that Zhang Chi just bought is worth 166 million yuan, Chen Lele can take away 16600 yuan. If she sells a few more units later, she will earn at least tens of thousands of dollars today.
So when Chen Lele saw that Boss Gong was going to take Zhang Chi to see the car in person, he immediately became anxious. "Chizi, come on, I'll take you to other exhibitions to look at cars." After saying that, without giving Boss Gong a chance to explain, he affectionately took Zhang Chi's arm and sandwiched it between the two big steamed buns and ran away. Boss Gong looked at the meat that was about to reach his mouth and shook his head helplessly. · The two walked into another exhibition booth. At this moment, Chen Lele's attitude changed 180 degrees, and he almost hung on Zhang Chi's thigh as a decoration. As smart as she was, she never asked Zhang Chi where he made his money or who he got rich from. Instead, she tried her best to help Zhang Chi introduce the insider cars she knew. The main point is sincerity! Unfortunately, Zhang Chi doesn't need her sincerity at all. Many cars that Zhang Chi liked were directly sentenced to death by her. It's like a Lamborghini Maverick. If Zhang Chi takes it down and refurbishes it, it will only have less than 500 points of energy. But according to Chen Lele's professional judgment, it would cost at least more than 200 million to repair the entire car, which is not cost-effective at all. Zhang Chi couldn't explain anything, so he just missed it. Fortunately, generally not many people would bid for this kind of luxury sports car, so Zhang Chi could only hope that the car would still be there when he came next time. We went around seven or eight exhibition points. Zhang Chi bought a few more cars. The total cost was more than 300 million. They are all insider cars that are in relatively good condition and can bring considerable profits. During this period, Chen Lele's eyes became more and more moist when she looked at Zhang Chi. Even though Zhang Chi pushed her away several times, she still stuck to him. Zhang Chi knew what Chen Lele was planning. However, he had looked down on this woman since high school, and would have nothing to do with her now. At most, he would just take care of her business. After all, there was no conflict between the two of them and they were still classmates. "Phew, okay, I won't watch it anymore." Zhang Chi felt that he could no longer show off his wealth, otherwise Chen Lele would have to knock on his door tonight. Chen Lele still felt a little unsatisfied at this time. After all this business deal, Zhang Chi earned more than 3 yuan in commission. It was so easy to make money. But now she no longer cares about the commission of tens of thousands of dollars. If she could develop a relationship with Zhang Chi, she wouldn't have to work anymore and could just come home and be a rich wife, which would be much more comfortable.
Unfortunately, from Zhang Chi's expression, she could tell that Zhang Chi didn't seem to like her very much. This made Chen Lele very discouraged. soon. Zhang Chi found Ye Hongguang and others who were watching the auction. When I took a closer look, I saw that the car was a Koenigsegg, but I couldn't tell the specific model. Because the boss covered the entire body of the car with mosaic reflective stickers. Seeing Zhang Chi coming over, Ye Hongguang couldn't help but frown and said, "Chizi, can you see if this car is worth buying?" Zhang Chi raised his eyebrows, took a look, shook his head and said, "It's too far away to see clearly." Ye Hongguang nodded slightly, and then said to Yi Xing: "I have to pay to participate in the auction, right?" Yi Xing glanced at Zhang Chi and Chen Lele behind him, and nodded, "This boss is an American. He always has good stuff, but the bidding threshold is also high. Everyone has to pay a registration fee of 30, which is not refundable even if you don't win the bid." Wang Hu couldn't help but sneer when he heard this: "If he asks a few people to deliberately raise the price, then we will lose 30 in vain, right?" Yi Xing smiled awkwardly and said, "Boss Wang, you can be absolutely assured about this. If he dares to ask for help, I guarantee that he will not be able to leave Pengcheng." Ye Hongguang nodded thoughtfully and said, "Okay, let's have some fun." Zhang Chi took a curious look at the Koenigsegg and asked in confusion: "The starting price is 500 million. This boss must be quite something." Ye Hongguang nodded slightly. "This American has a channel in the Middle East. All his cars are shipped from the Middle East. Can you help me check if it is a spliced car? If it is genuine, I will buy it. It doesn't matter how much it costs to repair it." Zhang Chi nodded, understanding what Ye Hongguang meant. The so-called spliced car is one in which the exterior shell is genuine, but the interior is assembled with some junk parts. This situation also occurred at other exhibition venues. He had just seen several of them. Zhang Chi squeezed through the crowd and walked straight to the Koenigsegg. Press with both hands. The light curtain that popped up made Zhang Chi completely confused. He turned around and shouted directly: "Mr. Ye, you don't have to pay." (End of this chapter)
