John Bruno whistled excitedly and said, "Wow! A 1969 Dodge Charger-Daytona! This is a rare car! Boss, do you want to buy this car? As long as the price is right, I suggest you buy it. This is a classic muscle car and a favorite of American men!"
Yang Jing patted John who was circling the car and said, "Hey, buddy, the engine of this car seems to have some problems. I'm not sure what the problem is. How about you take a look?"
John Bruno nodded, opened the car door and sat in.
The car key was in the switch. John turned the key and the car suddenly made a violent roar, but it only lasted for less than two seconds before it stalled with a violent shake.
John tried to light the fire again, and the result was exactly the same as the first time.
John Bruno, who was sitting in the driver's seat, thought for a while before opening the door and getting out of the car.
"Boss, there is indeed something wrong with the car, and it's not a small problem. Not only is there a problem with the engine, there should be some big problems in other aspects as well. After all, this car is nearly fifty years old, and it's already very good to be able to maintain it like this, but no matter how well it is maintained, it can't resist the erosion of time."
Yang Jing asked: "Can this car still be repaired?"
"Boss, do you like this car?"
"Nonsense, who wouldn't like this kind of car if they're a man?"
"Okay, Boss, this car can be repaired, but it will take time and a lot of money." Bruno opened the hood, lowered his head to check inside, then stood up and said, "Based on my experience, if this car needs to be repaired, the engine, gearbox and some major parts inside need to be replaced! Simple repairs are no longer of any value. Those parts, especially the major parts, must be replaced with new ones."
"Can we change it, John?"
"Yes, but these parts need to be shipped from the United States. This car uses Chrysler's classic HEMI 90° V-type 8-cylinder 7.2L engine. China probably doesn't have the conditions to produce V8 engines yet, and China probably can't produce the gearbox for this car. These main parts must be sent from the United States."
After a pause, John Bruno continued, "But even in the United States, this type of engine is rare. Even if there is one, the price is not cheap. A new engine of this type will cost at least 20,000 US dollars."
Yang Jing waved his hand and said, "Money is not a problem. The key is, do you know where to get new parts?"
John Bruno said, "This type of spare parts is not easy to get even in the United States now, but I do know that there should be a batch of this type of engine and corresponding gearboxes in the warehouse of Chrysler headquarters in Highland Park, Michigan."
After hearing this, Yang Jing turned to the owner of the car dealership and said, "Boss, are you going to sell this car or not? I'm sure you've heard our conversation just now. This car needs a major overhaul, and the main parts need to be brought from the United States. Without these parts, this car is a scrap car and can't be driven at all. My guy can do the repair, and I also have a way to get these parts in the United States, but if you don't want to sell this car, there's no need for me to go to such great lengths."
The boss hesitated for a moment and said, "How much do you want to pay for this car? I asked my friend in the United States to get this car. It cost a full $400,000 to buy this car in the United States. If you add in the shipping fee and other things, I have invested no less than $500,000 in this car alone."
Yang Jing was not vague either. He made a "seven" gesture with his right hand and said, "I'll give you $700,000, but I need to use your repair shop, and you'll also be responsible for putting a license plate on the car. Of course, I'll pay for the license plate. How about it?"
Yang Jing certainly didn't believe what the boss said. Even if this car was a classic car, it was in such a condition that even $200,000, let alone $400,000, would be an exorbitant price. A car with a bad engine and gearbox, no matter how old it was, could not be compared with a classic car that could be driven on the road.
But the car dealership owner is a businessman, and Yang Jing really likes this car, so if he says 400,000, it's 400,000, and Yang Jing is too lazy to haggle with him about the money.
Of course, if the boss still disagrees with the price, Yang Jing will turn around and leave immediately. It is true that he has a lot of money, but that doesn't mean he likes to be taken advantage of. The most important thing is that Yang Jing doesn't like to do business with people who are too greedy.
Fortunately, the car dealership owner was not as greedy as imagined. After a slight hesitation, he nodded and agreed to the price.
