Chapter 141 Buying a Car
Xu Ruichen looked at Xiao Peng in surprise, "What are you thinking about?"
Xiao Peng immediately realized he had said something wrong and slapped his mouth, "I was talking too much."
"Su Wan is married now. Don't say such things next time. It will be embarrassing for both of you."
"Don't worry, boss. I won't say that again next time."
Xiao Peng didn't dare to say anything. He immediately stood aside respectfully, waiting for the leader's instructions.
Xu Ruichen sighed secretly in his heart. After all, he was a newcomer and not smart enough. He had to stay by his side for at least five or six years before he could let him go.
Poor Xiao Peng didn't know that he had been disliked. All he was thinking about was how to strike a balance between himself and his leader.
The next morning, Su Wan woke up early.
Ever since she got rid of her mobile phone, her biological clock has become abnormally early. She goes to bed around 8 pm and wakes up before 6 am.
After having breakfast with Xu Ruichen in the restaurant of the guesthouse, Xiao Peng took us to the customs.
That was Su Wan's first time going to the customs. In a place in the sea area of Pengcheng Special Economic Zone, many houses were built, surrounded by walls. On the right side were several huge warehouses, which were filled with various import and export goods.
What Su Wan wanted to buy at the customs was the intercepted car.
The price of cars intercepted by the customs and then sold is slightly lower, but you still need some connections to buy them. When Su Wan arrived at the customs, he saw cars of all kinds parked neatly inside.
"Hello, Director Xu. I'm Zhou Aiguo, the head of the Customs Department."
"Hello, Uncle Zhou. My father has mentioned you before. You are so polite. Just call me by my name!"
Xu Ruichen shook hands with Zhou Aiguo, then pointed at Su Wan and introduced her, "This is my neighbor's sister, Su Wan. She's here to look at cars for her family. I heard that customs just seized a batch that hasn't been sold yet, so I brought her here to take a look."
"Comrade Su Wan, you've come to the right place if you want to buy a car. We just seized a batch of parallel-imported cars and have inspected them. There are no problems."
"Excuse me!"
Su Wan replied.
Zhou Aiguo waved his hand cheerfully, "Just call me Uncle Zhou like Ruichen does. His father and I were comrades-in-arms. Even though we've never met, it doesn't affect our relationship."
Hearing this, Su Wan also called out "Uncle Zhou".
Zhou Aiguo quickly brought them to the warehouse and asked Su Wan what kind of car he wanted.
"I want to buy two pickup trucks and a car."
"We have Toyota pickup trucks. They're very good and all new."
Pointing to the rows of wholesale goods in front, Zhou Aiguo said, "The price of a pickup truck is 40,000 yuan. This price is because there have been a lot of smuggled cars recently. Normally, the price is around 50,000 yuan."
Of course, part of the reason is also caused by Xu Ruichen, which is naturally different.
Hearing that the price was only 40,000 yuan per car, Su Wan instantly wanted to buy two more. After all, she was too embarrassed to come here to buy a car at other times.
Thinking Su Wan was complaining about the high prices, Zhou Aiguo said with a smile, "If you think it's a bit high, we can make it cheaper."
"No."
Su Wan shook her head, then quickly reacted and said, "I'm sorry, Uncle Zhou, I'm not complaining about the price, I just think it's quite cheap. If I buy two more, will it affect you?"
Zhou Aiguo scratched his head jokingly. "How could that be an impact? There are too many cars piled up lately. It would be a waste if we couldn't sell them. How many do you want to buy?"
"Then let's buy four pickup trucks. I want to buy a car myself."
"Then I'll have someone choose four cars. Leave me your address and I'll drive the car to your designated location!"
"Thank you, Uncle Zhou!"
Su Wan was taken to the front to look at cars again. She deliberately walked a few steps slower before asking Xu Ruichen, "Brother Xu, will buying so many cars cause you any trouble?"
Xu Ruichen shook his head. "It really has no impact. There are indeed more cars at the customs office recently, and they were meant to be sold anyway."
"That's good."
Before Su Wan reached the car, she saw a mighty off-road vehicle in front of her. It was a very tall Hummer off-road vehicle.
"You like it?"
Seeing Su Wan suddenly stop, Xu Ruichen also stopped. Seeing her staring at the Hummer off-road vehicle, he also looked at it.
It was a very domineering Hummer off-road vehicle with a high chassis, good looks, and a large interior space. Apart from being a little fuel-consuming, it had no other shortcomings.
Zhou Aiguo naturally saw it too. He walked back and asked Su Wan, "Comrade Su Wan, do you like this Hummer?"
"Uncle Zhou, how much is this Hummer?" Su Wan asked excitedly.
"The price might be a little high. You should know the value of this car. It was previously sold for 110,000, but few people were willing to buy it. Our current price is 96,000. If you like it, I can reduce it by 1,000 and give it to you for 95,000."
"That's ninety thousand!"
Su Wan raised her eyes to meet Zhou Aiguo's gaze and said with a smile, "Supporting national construction is already cheap enough. I can't always take advantage of the country."
These words made Zhou Aiguo burst into laughter.
His laughter was very hearty. If his hand had not been injured a few years ago, he would still be fighting on the battlefield.
Zhou Aiguo also likes girls like Su Wan who are not shy.
He immediately asked someone to get the receipt, printed out the invoice, and handed it to Su Wan.
"Four pickup trucks and a Hummer, a total of 256,000. I'll collect the money when the trucks arrive at your designated location."
"Okay, I'll have the money ready by then."
Su Wan wanted to treat Zhou Aiguo to a meal, but he waved his hand and said, "The car should arrive about two hours later than yours. You should go back and prepare it first. Selling so many cars is a big gain for me today."
After saying that, Zhou Aiguo added, "Comrade Su Wan, if you have friends who want to buy pickup trucks or cars, you can also contact me. We need to sell these cars during this period of time."
"Don't worry, Uncle Zhou. I'll ask when I get back."
On the way back, Xu Ruichen asked curiously, "Why did you buy so many cars?"
"My brother is working on a project in Pengcheng. It would be more convenient for them to have a car."
"These cars at customs are indeed for sale. Don't worry. If no one wants them, that's fine too. Uncle Zhou was just asking casually."
"I think I still need friends."
Xiao Peng drove the car to the building materials store. Su Wan said goodbye to Xu Ruichen and went into the store.
Chen Xiang was sorting the goods in the store. Seeing Su Wanlai, a smile appeared on his cheek. "Sister-in-law, when did you come to Pengcheng? You haven't come to the store yet."
"I came here yesterday."
Su Wan looked at the situation in the store and asked Chen Xiang, "Brother, how is our business?"
