Chapter 23 Parting on bad terms The Wrangler leads the way, followed closely by the Mercedes-Benz E300. Gangzi honked the horn twice, and the door of the scrap yard slowly opened. The fat man had been waiting for a long time. When he saw the E300 following the Wrangler, his squinting eyes couldn't help but sparkle. Zhang Chi parked the car aside and asked curiously, "Is Mr. Chen not here?" The fat man took out a box of Huazi, and Zhang Chi waved his hand to indicate that he didn't smoke. "My brother is here early in the morning. Let's go to the back. It's not convenient to talk in this area." Zhang Chi nodded slightly, knowing that the space in this scrap yard was rented by several different bosses. The front part mainly collects scrap iron, waste paper and the like, while the back part is the collection center for large items. The fat man wanted to see the condition of the Mercedes-Benz E300. Seeing this, Zhang Chi simply threw the car keys to him and got on the Wrangler. The Wrangler took the lead, and the fat man followed in the E300.
The two cars came one after another to the square where they piled up the accident cars and flooded cars. Chen Bin's big bald head could be seen from a distance. "Welcome, welcome. Brother Chizi is really trustworthy. It seems that our cooperation is just around the corner." Chen Bin took out a pack of cigarettes, and Zhang Chi waved his hands hastily. He really didn't have the habit of smoking. "Mr. Chen, you're welcome. You should look at the car first." Chen Bin's eyes had never left the brand new E300 from the beginning. After hearing what Zhang Chi said, he didn't hesitate. "Okay, then I won't be hypocritical." Chen Bin asked the fat man to get out of the car, and got in himself, driving around the open space. After getting off the car, he waved to the two middle-aged men, and the two men came forward with tools and began to check the car. After getting out of the car, Chen Bin lit a cigarette and sighed, "If you hadn't told me that this was the car I gave you, I would have thought you were buying me a new car to trick me." Zhang Chi smiled calmly and said, "Mr. Chen, I came to cooperate with you with sincerity. Buying a new car to fool you will not do me any good. Don't you think so?" Chen Bin exhaled a puff of smoke, smiled and nodded, but there was still a hint of disbelief between his brows. At this time, two inspectors came over, also with a look of shock on their faces, and asked, "Little brother, did you repair this car?" Zhang Chi nodded slightly. Another inspector couldn't help but give a thumbs up and said, "Great, there is no sign of repair at all. If we hadn't seen this car before, I would have thought you removed the frame and replaced it with a new one." Zhang Chi had a sloppy and humble expression, as if he was not worthy of the honor. At this time, Chen Bin suddenly asked: "I wonder how much it costs for you to repair a car. If it's too high..." Zhang Chi heard this, coughed twice, and said: "It's better for me to ask you this question. For this E300, what do you think the repair cost is that you can accept?" Chen Bin was stunned for a moment and glanced at the inspector standing next to him, who gestured a number obscurely. Chen Bin then raised his head and said, "My bottom line is 17. With the cost of buying the car and some other miscellaneous costs, I have to sell this car for more than 25 to make a profit, so 17 is fine. If it's more than 17, I'll be at a loss."
Zhang Chi probably had this market price in mind, mainly the prices of various vehicle spare parts. He had worked at Shenzhou Car Rental for so many years and had already known them all. Even if he used refurbished second-hand car parts, the price would not be much different. After all, repairing accident cars and flooded cars is different from replacing one or two small parts in a normal auto repair shop. Many parts even have to be completely dismantled and replaced with new ones, otherwise it is difficult to ensure the safety of the car. However, although he was extremely excited, Zhang Chi immediately showed a deep expression on his face. He pretended to think for a moment before speaking, "This price is fine, but the repaired car will definitely have some flaws. Of course, I can guarantee that the third-party inspection report will not find any flaws. What do you think?" Chen Bin was stunned for a moment, and looked at the Mercedes-Benz E300 with a hint of meaning. Zhang Chi couldn't help but laugh when he saw this: "After all, it's my own car. I spent more than 20 yuan on it, not counting my labor costs. The total cost is far more than yuan, haha." Upon hearing this, Chen Bin and the others all smiled with understanding. Chen Bin has given this Mercedes-Benz E300 to Zhang Chi, which means that Zhang Chi is not repairing the car for Chen Bin, but for himself. Since he is repairing the car for himself, he will definitely do it to the best of his ability without any carelessness. At this time, Zhang Chi pointed to the Wrangler next to him and said, "I can guarantee that in our subsequent cooperation, all the cars will meet the standards of that Wrangler. I think you have also inspected that car. How do you feel about it?" The two inspectors looked at each other, nodded at the same time, and said, "If we can reach the standard of that car, we will be ahead of the competition." Chen Bin laughed out loud when he heard this. He laughed out loud, "Okay, my requirements are not high either. I just want it to meet the standards of that car." At this time, one of the inspectors came closer and whispered a few words to Chen Bin. Chen Bin's eyes lit up, and he turned around and asked, "Brother Zhang, do you have a channel for refurbished second-hand accessories? I wonder if you can help us get some?" Zhang Chi was stunned for a moment, then frowned and sneered, "Boss Chen, the cooperation between you and me hasn't even started yet, and you want to kick me out and start working on my own?" Chen Bin's expression changed, and he hurriedly explained: "I definitely didn't mean that. I, I just..." Chen Bin glared at the inspector next to him in annoyance, and the latter smiled awkwardly. In fact, the inspector's proposal is basically the same as kicking Zhang Chi out to work on his own. If they can also find channels for cheap second-hand refurbished parts, they can completely repair the car themselves without letting Zhang Chi make any more money. Repairing a car costs more than 100,000 yuan, so no matter how you look at it, it seems that Zhang Chi has made a lot of money. Everyone knows how to repair a car, and they think their skills are not much worse than Zhang Chi's. The only problem is that there are no cheap second-hand refurbished parts. That's right, after they saw the E300, they had already determined that Zhang Chi was using refurbished second-hand parts. As for the fact that there is no sign of repair at all, this is easy to solve. They can just fake it. I just didn't expect that Zhang Chi was so sensitive at such a young age. It seems that this matter needs to be considered in the long run, and the two of them obviously have not given up yet. However, what they didn't expect was. What Zhang Chi fears most now is exposing the secret of his Autobot tattoo. If he cooperates with Chen Bin, the risk of exposure will increase. Even if you offer him 20 yuan to repair a car, he still won't be willing to do it. Zhang Chi opened the car door with an unhappy look on his face and said, "Mr. Chen, let's be honest. This car has been transferred to my name. I won't be hypocritical with you. I will come to take care of your business in a few days and return the favor to you. I have something else to do today, so I'll leave first." Chen Bin's face changed, and he hurried forward and said, "No, brother, what are you doing? We were chatting happily, why did you leave? It's time for dinner, how about we go to the hotel and talk while eating?" Zhang Chi started the car, glanced at the inspector, and said, "Mr. Chen, you have so many talented people under you. One more or one less won't make a difference. I'll skip the meal. I'll come to buy a car in a few days. Just give me a 10% discount."
As he said this, he gave Long Jinggang a look, closed the car door, and backed away. Long Jinggang stood there still a little confused, and the fat man next to him was also dumbfounded. "Okay, what's going on?" Chen Bin frowned and angrily glanced at the inspector who had just spoken too much. He said, "Guo Zi asked him about the channels for second-hand parts. I don't know how he got angry. He said that we had no sincerity in cooperating and wanted to kick him out to work alone before we even started." When the fat man heard this, he opened his mouth and sighed after a long while, "Don't blame Chizi for being suspicious. If it were me, I would have slammed the table and left." Long Jinggang also raised his eyebrows, pointed at the two inspectors and said, "You are really good." After saying that, he drove his Wrangler and chased after Zhang Chi's Mercedes-Benz E300.
