Starting from the Year 1960

Li Xu traveled to the year 1960. In this era, which he had never seen before and only heard about in books and from elders, the only thing he could do was ensure his family had enough to eat and li...

Chapter 580 Driving Practice

Li Xu sat in the driver's seat and saw the interior of the car. He didn't know what words to use to describe it.

Although it is luxurious, it reveals a sense of simplicity everywhere.

Although it is said to be simple, some parts are decorated with solid wood, and there are leather seats and velvet floor mats.

But to be honest, it’s pretty good for a car to have such an interior these days.

Qian Jin came forward, touched the car door with his left hand, and grinned, "Boss Li, this car is nice, isn't it?"

"Yes, I like it very much."

"That's good. Let me tell you, Shanghai sedans used to be official vehicles. People of low rank weren't eligible to ride them. Even though the purchase requirements have been relaxed now, ordinary people still can't afford one. If you drive one out, outsiders will know at a glance that the person inside is not ordinary."

Li Xu joked, "Director Qian, I think it's not that ordinary people can't buy it, but they don't have the money to buy it."

"Lack of money is only a small part of the reason. Let's put it this way, if these cars weren't under Boss Xu's name, you, Boss Li, wouldn't be eligible to buy them no matter how rich you are."

"This is only temporary. If they don't let me buy it this year, they will let me buy it next year."

After finishing speaking, Li Xu waved to the driver and asked him to come over and talk about the condition of the car, and then asked him to demonstrate the driving movements to him.

The car was started with a key, which was no different from later times. Li Xu understood it at a glance.

After that, he drove two laps to experience it.

After he signed the receipt and got the documents related to the car, Qian Jin took his men away.

More than ten minutes later, three people came from a distance.

Two of them were Li Ping and Li Chen, and the remaining one was the person sent by Li Xu to call them.

Seeing the car parked at the factory gate, Li Xu and the other man unconsciously quickened their pace, with excitement on their faces.

Obviously, they knew about the car.

Coming to the car, seeing Li Xu sitting inside, Li Chen quickly asked, "Brother, didn't you say there were six cars? Why is there only one?"

"The rest are in the yard. I left this car here specially. I'll teach you how to drive it later." After replying, Li Xu frowned, "Are you two building a wall again?"

“No.”

"Then why are you so dirty?"

Li Ping showed a helpless look and explained, "On the way back, we passed by a construction site. There happened to be a strong wind at that time, and the dust blew all over us."

"Okay, go into the house and wash up and change your clothes."

It's quite funny to say.

Previously, Li Ping and his companion inspected the housing construction site. Perhaps because they had not worked for a long time and were bored, they actually wanted to learn the house-building skills from the masters.

What was unexpected was that the builder actually agreed and taught them while he worked.

After learning for a week, the two felt that they were ready to become masters, so they built a section of wall and had the masters judge it.

If you want to master this skill, you have to do it more.

Li Ping and the other two listened for a week without doing anything at all.

So it failed as expected.

The next day they built another section, but again they failed to complete the project.

Now that's great, the two of them are really interested in this matter and are determined to take action.

After that, they repeated the process of building and demolishing walls every day.

One day, Li Xu passed by and saw this scene. He asked about the situation. After hearing what happened, he was at a loss whether to laugh or cry.

Later, under his persuasion, the two of them gave up.

Li Ping and the other man walked quickly towards the factory and soon came out wearing clean clothes.

Li Xu began to teach them how to drive.

While teaching, Xu Xiangqian and his wife came back.

Seeing the car, Xu Xiangqian quickly asked, "Is this the car we ordered?"

"Well, cousin, cousin-in-law, can you drive?"

“Yes.”

"Since the meeting is about to start, I won't keep you here any longer. Go back to your rooms and have some rest. Don't overwork yourself." Li Xu looked at them meaningfully.

Xu Xiangqian was fine, but his wife was not. Her face turned red instantly.

After the two entered the factory, Li Chen said with a complicated expression, "They made me miss my wife."

Li Xu patted his shoulder and said, "Just bear with it. We'll go to Hong Kong tomorrow to do some work. After we're done, we can go home for the New Year."

"Going to Hong Kong for business?" Li Ping and the others were stunned. "You said before that you wouldn't go to Hong Kong before the New Year, but would go after the New Year. Why did you suddenly change your mind now?"

Li Xu sighed, "Plans can't keep up with changes."

Li Ping thought for a moment and hesitated, "What are you going to do this time?"

"make money."

Hearing these two words, Li Ping and the others were speechless. Li Chen glanced at the gate guard not far away, and then asked in a low voice, "Second brother, how much money do you think you can make this time?"

"If the operation is successful, the funds can at least double."

Li Ping and the other man swallowed subconsciously. Just as they were about to speak, they heard Li Xu continue, "This time, the money-making cycle will be longer. It won't be like before, where you can make money in just ten days. You two better be mentally prepared."

"How long can it be?"

"Six months to one year."

"That's not long. If I can really make that much money, it will be worth waiting for two years." Li Ping said firmly.

"Brother, what you said is right." Li Chen agreed.

Li Xu smiled and said nothing more, continuing to teach the two how to drive.

In fact, if the money couldn't come in today, Li Xu would go to him and ask him to help get a pass.

Now that he came to the door himself, it saved Li Xu a lot of trouble.

As for Xu Xiangqian and his wife, they went to get a room.

Since coming to the mainland, they have been sleeping in the same room with their children, which has left them with no space for their married life.
