Chen Hong looked around, implying that they were on the street and it was inconvenient to talk about this topic.

"Look, I got so excited I forgot everything. I'll come find you in a few days, and you have to teach me. I have to go back to the hotel first; my dad and cousin are still in the private room upstairs. I just went downstairs to the restroom and ended up here with you. My dad will scold me again when I get back! I'll tell my cousin about you and ask him to help you. You can find him directly when you go to work this afternoon. I'm going back to the hotel now."

Watching Yang Xiaomei rush into the restaurant, Chen Hong smiled and shook her head. Yang Xiaomei's energetic personality was more comforting to look at; feelings of inferiority didn't suit her.

It's only 1:30 PM. Chen Hong needs to ask someone for help this afternoon, so she went into the supermarket and spent 100 yuan on a carton of Taishan cigarettes. Luckily, since having a child, she carries a lot of things when she goes out, and she's used to carrying a large bag; otherwise, she wouldn't have been able to fit all the cigarettes in.

After leaving the supermarket, Chen Hong strolled slowly toward the Maritime Bureau. It was only half an hour before her workday started. As she walked, she saw the Risheng Electric Motorcycle Shop and turned in. Her family had bought their motorcycle there; it was of excellent quality and had never had any problems in the years since they got married.

"Boss, how much are your electric tricycles? What's their load capacity? Can you tell me about them?"

"Okay, let me introduce the performance of this vehicle to you." As soon as the customer came in, the boss enthusiastically stepped forward to promote the tricycle to Chen Hong: from the seat to the cargo box, from the cargo box to the tires, from the appearance to the load capacity, the lights, the brakes and finally the motor, the boss explained for a full ten minutes.

Chen Hong quickly interrupted her excited boss, "You don't need to say too much. What kind of technology can an electric vehicle have? Just tell me what brand the motor is, what brand the battery is, how many battery packs it has, how much range it has, how much it can carry, and how well it climbs hills. The rest is not important."

The boss underestimated the woman, thinking that Chen was just trying to fool her because she didn't know anything. He figured that if she was confused, the car would be easy to sell. Ninety percent of the people who come to buy cars don't know anything. They just listen to the high-end specifications and that's how they sell cars.

I didn't expect a woman to be so good at grasping the key points; she hit the nail on the head.

The shopkeeper stopped boasting and said with a smile, "Since you're an expert, let me tell you this: the motor for this vehicle is from a famous brand and it's custom-made for this model. The copper wire is 1/5 more, so it's powerful enough to carry a ton and climb hills effortlessly. It comes with six batteries, providing a range of 120 kilometers, and it has a two-year warranty and a six-month money-back guarantee. I'm an established brand, so the quality is absolutely guaranteed."

Chen Hong nodded: "I believe that. I've been a long-time customer of yours. I bought my motorcycle from you, and the quality is pretty good. Just give me a fair price. What's the lowest price you can sell it to?"

“Since you’re a regular customer, I won’t mention 6800 anymore. Just take it and we’ll keep in touch.”

Chen Hong didn't answer. "Boss, I see you can give a discount on your used cars. How much discount can you give me for my motorcycle?"

The shop owner said it depended on the condition of the motorcycle, and the price would generally range from 500 to 1000 yuan. Chen Hong was unhappy and showed the shop owner pictures of the motorcycle on her phone: "I bought this motorcycle from you for 6600 yuan. I've hardly ridden it. It's at least 90% new. You've kept it very well. At first glance, it looks brand new. If it weren't for the fact that it doesn't look good on a woman like me, I wouldn't have been willing to sell it. You can't just buy it back as a scrapped vehicle!"

"This car is indeed quite new, but I didn't know its condition before. Here's what I'll do: I'll give you a discount of 3,000 yuan, and you can give me the vehicle registration certificate too." The shopkeeper blushed a little.

"That's too little. My bike is no different from your new one, and I don't even need to register it. I can ride it right away. You've cut the price by 3600. That's too much! Add another 2000."

“No way, 5000 is too high. No matter how good your car is, it’s still second-hand. Who will buy it if it’s not cheap? 3500, any higher and it’ll be stuck in my hands. I won’t be able to sell it.”

“4000. You don’t need to repair my vehicle. It can be sold for at least 5000. You can make 1000 yuan for free without doing anything. Isn’t that a great deal? If you don’t want to, I’ll leave the vehicle at your door. I’m sure I can sell it for 5000 yuan within three days. Then I’ll add another 1000 yuan to buy your tricycle.”

The boss was furious. "I've never seen anything like this before! Is this how a human being works? How could you do such a thing?"

"Just tell me if it's okay or not? You can choose one of the two methods," Chen Hong said with a smile to her boss.

"Fine, I'll give you 4,000 yuan, and you give me another 2,300 yuan to take the tricycle away, okay? How can I let you sell your vehicle in front of my door? How am I supposed to do business in the future? Everyone else will have to come here to sell their vehicles, what will my place become? A flea market?"

Actually, the boss was worried because there were people who really wanted to buy this model of motorcycle these past few days. And judging from the pictures, the motorcycle was well maintained and there was no wear and tear. The boss was confident he could sell it and maybe even make an extra 500 yuan if he handled it well. But if Chen Hong really got involved for a few days, she might steal the deal.

"Hey girl, where's your car? You have to give me your car before we can make the deal!"

"Don't rush with the car. You need to put a canopy on that tricycle for me. I think your canopy is of decent quality. You also need to give me the free raincoat and other freebies. And give me a good quality air pump, as well as the jack and crowbar. And also give me a big lock, a good one."

"Seriously, girl? Take anything you like from my shop. Why buy a tricycle and equip it with all the repair tools? What's the point of having a mechanic? I'd be losing money if you did this for 6800. Just the canopy alone would cost 500, not to mention all the other stuff you're asking for."

"Boss, just install it according to my requirements, and I'll settle the bill for you at 6500 yuan. I'm a salesman by trade, so you won't lose money, you'll just earn a little less. Besides, you can make another profit on the motorcycle, it's not less profitable than the tricycle." "Ah, you're awesome, girl, you're a real talent!"
