The two were not so lucky this time; none of the four cars had the Phoenix brand.

It seems that even in Yancheng, Phoenix brand bicycles are still a rare commodity.

"Brother Heng, we can go to a specialized department store hardware store; there are many cars there."

Bai Jiaojiao glanced at the four bicycles one by one. She couldn't see any difference, but there must be a reason why Phoenix brand bicycles were so popular.

As soon as the two finished speaking, the bicycle salesman said, "If you want a brand name bicycle, I can get it for you."

The sales clerks at the department store had performance targets, and when they heard that the two of them intended to buy a car, the sales clerk immediately asked them questions, and the attitude was much better than the sales clerks they had seen at the supply and marketing cooperatives before.

"Can you arrange a Phoenix brand car?" Bai Jiaojiao asked.

"this......"

The sales clerk frowned, clearly at a loss.

"Forget it, Heng-ge, let's go look somewhere else."

Upon hearing this, the salesperson immediately said, "If you're in a hurry, these brands of bicycles are also good. Look, the quality of this Flying Pigeon is just as good. This gentleman is tall, so this one is perfect for him."

"But we only have Phoenix brand tickets, which we can't buy."

Bai Jiaojiao heard the saleswoman's words and knew that she had more to say, so she stopped and lingered.

Sure enough, the salesperson said, "I can help you exchange this ticket. You two young comrades probably don't know that Phoenix brand bicycles are no longer available. As soon as someone hears they're in stock, they're snatched up. You can't buy them anywhere."

The salesperson was telling the truth. They were newcomers with no connections, and they were eager to get a car, so they couldn't afford to wait for the Phoenix brand.

Bai Jiaojiao then said, "These tickets aren't something you can just get easily. Look, these are national tickets."

“I understand, I understand. If you buy from me, I’ll lower the price by twenty yuan. Our prices are all clearly marked, I’m not trying to rip you off.”

A Phoenix brand bicycle ticket can be exchanged for a ticket for another brand of bicycle for ten yuan cheaper, which is acceptable.

Shen Heng weighed the options in his mind for a moment: "Let's take a look at these cars first."

"Hey, please feel free to look around and ask any questions you may have." The sales clerk beamed with joy upon hearing Shen Heng's reassurance.

Although she doesn't have the right to arbitrarily lower the purchase price, she and her colleagues can easily get a bicycle of other brands by tinkering around. This Phoenix brand bicycle is presentable enough to give as a gift, so the ten yuan is well worth it.

"Brother Heng, aren't we being taken advantage of?" It's not that they're short of ten yuan.

Shen Heng said, "Let's just buy one to ride for now; we need it right now."

Bai Jiaojiao licked her lower lip and started teasing along with Shen Heng.
