In his previous life, Lin Yifeng was tricked by his first love into going abroad, missing the period of rapid development in his homeland.
He finally managed to amass a fortune of hundreds of...
Inside the courtyard, Ye Yuqing asked Lin Yifeng with some confusion.
"They tricked you?"
Veronica Yip's eyes were filled with confusion.
Every time she went on business with Lin Yifeng, he would do things that she couldn't understand.
The same applies to buying a car this time.
Even though everything was normal, Lin Yifeng said they were trying to scam people.
Looking at Ye Yuqing's innocent appearance, Lin Yifeng smiled wryly and made a sarcastic remark.
"You shouldn't go into business in the future."
"You could probably swindle all the money in the house out of it, you silly woman."
"If I want to sell health supplements in the future, I'll definitely contact you first."
Ye Yuqing sensed Lin Yifeng's sarcastic tone and, unable to contain her anger, twisted Lin Yifeng's waist.
Lin Yifeng winced in pain before he began to explain to Ye Yuqing.
Doing car business here is not as simple as it is at a 4S store.
Besides officially licensed dealers, there are also officially imported vehicles and privately imported vehicles.
Imported cars are those that are legally imported through dealers. After customs duties are paid, the price will be about 30% higher. These are all cars purchased through legitimate channels.
"Small trade cars" refer to cars imported through foreign investment quotas and irregular channels. These cars are generally 10% to 20% cheaper than normal prices, and they usually do not meet national standards.
The key point is that most of these cars can only use foreign brands, and can only be transferred normally one year after entering the country.
The woman just said that they can register a household here normally, but it will take a year to process.
It's highly likely that this was a smuggled transaction, where they first put a fake license plate on the car and then transferred it to Lin Yifeng normally a year later.
Don't be fooled by the fact that these cars look no different from regular cars. They're sold as official imported cars, and nearly half of the profits end up in the pockets of these people.
To put it bluntly, if you buy a car worth 1 million, he might buy it for 700,000 and normally sell it for 800,000, but he'll sell it to you for 1.2 million. In the process, he can make a profit of 500,000 for free.
Moreover, if the car is involved in an accident within a year, he will start arguing with you. If you sue him, he will tell you that you are selling the car normally.
With a contract in hand, the probability of losing the case is very high.
That's considered relatively ethical; some unscrupulous sellers will directly sell you grey market cars, assembled cars, or refurbished cars.
A grey market car originally priced at 1 million yuan might only be worth less than 300,000 yuan when combined with an assembled car, which could directly eat up your 1 million yuan profit.
The depth and complexity of this industry are no less than those of other industries.
If you misjudge even slightly, you'll end up giving away countless silver notes to the other party.
Therefore, you still need to be careful when choosing a car.
Lin Yifeng's main purpose in coming here today was to scout out the area and spread the word. He also wanted to talk to this middle-aged woman so that she could pass on the information.
When it comes time to buy a car later, this will help avoid many people who want to rip off Lin Yifeng.
After all, these days you can only get your vehicle inspected at the vehicle management office.
This isn't Lin Yifeng's territory either; who knows what tricks the other side might be up to?
