The next morning, as soon as the morning rush hour was over, Mr. He dressed himself up smartly and went with Zhang Yanjun to buy a car.
Because they also need to prepare fast food at noon, and the morning is short, they arrived early.
When buying the car this time, Mr. He also invited his driving instructor, Tang Guolin, to come along. He figured if there were any problems with the car, the instructor could just drive it around and find out.
"Yanjun".
As soon as the car stopped at Lao Mo's used car dealership, a refined-looking man approached, who appeared to be a few years older than Zhang Yanjun.
"Old Mo," Zhang Yanjun introduced with a smile, "This is Mo Lanfeng, the owner of the car dealership, this is General Manager He of Xiangzhiyuan Food Factory, and this is Young General Manager He."
"Mr. He, it's an honor to meet you." Mo Lanfeng said politely, "What kind of car is Mr. He looking to buy? I have a full range of them."
"We'd like to see the van."
After He's father finished speaking, He Wenlin added, "A small truck is also acceptable."
"Yes, everyone is here. Please follow me."
Lao Mo's used car dealership is quite large, with cars, motorcycles, minivans, pickup trucks, and vans all available.
"How much is this motorcycle?" Mr. He asked.
Mr. He could also ride a motorcycle and even got a license. He wanted to buy a motorcycle to make money by carrying passengers, and he had already prepared the money.
But later, when Mr. He fell ill, the money he had saved for the car was used up to pay for his medical treatment.
"I have six motorcycles here. The one in front of you is the best. Since you were introduced by Yanjun, the price won't be too high. If you want it, take it for five thousand two yuan."
"So expensive! A new motorcycle only costs a little over seven thousand, and your used one costs over five thousand. You might as well buy a new one."
“Mr. He, you can’t say that. Although this is second-hand, it’s only about 80 or 90% new.” After Mo Lanfeng finished speaking, he pointed to the cars next to him. “Those cars over there are cheaper, only 3,800 yuan.”
"Dad, let's look at the van and the small truck first."
Since it was for hauling goods, He Wenlin considered vans and small trucks.
If you have leftovers after buying four-wheeled vehicles, you could also buy a motorcycle, which would be much more convenient for your own family use.
He Wenlin took a liking to a minivan and a small truck. The minivan was priced at 30,000 yuan, and the small truck was priced at 75,000 yuan.
He Wenlin asked Tang Guolin to take her father to test drive two cars first, and then they would talk after confirming that everything was fine.
During the test drive, Mr. He also took the opportunity to ask Tang Guolin for his advice.
A test drive of a car takes half an hour, and an hour has passed in the blink of an eye.
After the test drive, He's father said to He Wenlin in their hometown dialect, "Both are fine. The van will cost at most 22,000 yuan, and the truck will cost at most 67,000 or 68,000 yuan."
He Wenlin knew that Tang Guolin must have told her father about the price.
“I think buying a minivan will suffice,” Mr. He said.
He Wenlin shook her head and said, "We need to bring goods back for the New Year, and the van can't carry much. We deliver hundreds of boxes to Wankelai at a time. How many trips will this van have to make?"
The small truck that He Wenlin had her eye on had a cargo box that was about two meters wide and three meters long, which could hold a lot of goods.
"But we don't have enough money."
He Wenlin currently has 30,000 yuan.
We used to have over 30,000 yuan, but now we've withdrawn all of that "extra" to help my aunt Tang Jianguo with the renovations. Yesterday we even bought six more machines, so we're really broke now.
"Mr. Mo, you should be able to get a loan to buy a car here, right?" He Wenlin asked.
"Sure, you want to buy a small truck?" Mo Lanfeng was very clever and guessed it right away.
After all, minivans are so cheap, people usually don't take out loans for them.
Mo Lanfeng added, "If it's a loan, you can only borrow 50%."
"Can you get a discount on this small truck?" Mr. He asked. "Used trucks are still selling for over 70,000 yuan, which is too expensive. It should be 56,000 yuan."
"Brother, you're asking for way too much. Fifty-six thousand won't do, it really won't do. You were brought by Yanjun, and I didn't even ask you for a price. This car is already very new; a new one would cost twenty-eight hundred thousand. Fifty-six thousand is really not an option."
Mr. He: "If it doesn't work out, we'll look around some more. With so much money involved, we definitely need to compare prices from different vendors. This isn't a small amount of money."
Mo Lanfeng paused for a moment and said, "Mr. He, if 56,000 really won't do, I'll give you the lowest I can go, 68,000."
Upon hearing the price, Mr. He shook his head, saying, "It's too expensive."
Zhang Yanjun remained silent because he felt that it would be inappropriate to say anything at this time.
One person genuinely wanted to buy, and the other genuinely wanted to sell. After some haggling, they settled on a price of 65,000 yuan, with a two-year loan. Mo Lanfeng also offered a year of car insurance as a gift. He had connections and could handle things like the license plate.
He Wenlin's bank account was emptied of money, not even enough for a down payment, so she transferred another 3,000 yuan from her father's account to Mo Lanfeng.
After the contract was signed, Mo Lanfeng asked again, "Mr. He, are you not considering motorcycles? If you want them, I can give you a discount."
Mr. He did want to buy it, but after glancing at it, he said, "Never mind, I don't have the money. I'll buy it when I have the money."
"Okay, just contact me when the time comes." After saying that, Mo Lanfeng handed a business card to He's father.
"Mr. Zhang, Mr. Mo, let's go have dinner together," He Wenlin said.
Zhang Yanjun drove them here today, and it's only right and proper that they thank him, especially since they are now business partners.
During the National Day holiday, Zhang Yanjun knew that egg rolls would sell well, but at that time, he had an agreement with He Wenlin and had received a display fee from her, so he was naturally embarrassed to buy the goods himself to sell.
Now that the expiration date has passed, Zhang Yanjun is buying the goods from He Wenlin to sell, and plans to arrange for someone to promote them over the weekend.
"I won't go, next time, next time," Mo Lanfeng politely declined.
Zhang Yanjun also said that he had something to do and needed to rush to Yucheng.
Now that He's father has bought a car and Coach Tang Guolin is also there, Zhang Yanjun drove away.
Tang Guolin drove his small truck and took He Wenlin and her father back to the fast food restaurant.
Seeing them return, Lin Fei was overjoyed: "Wow! Uncle Ming, Linlin, you really bought a car! This car is really nice."
"It's just a second-hand item, what's so great about it?" Mr. He said this, but he couldn't suppress the smile on his face.
Then he added, "I'm still drowning in debt! I'll pay it back every month from now on."
"How much is the down payment?" Lin Fei asked.
He Wenlin said, "More than 30,000."
Hearing this number, Lin Fei felt a pang of envy again.
"I have a mortgage and a car loan to pay, I can't sleep at night just thinking about it." Mr. He was indeed a little anxious.
"Dad, do you want to buy a motorcycle?" He Wenlin asked.
Mr. He rolled his eyes at her: "What good will thinking do?"
He Wenlin: "I asked Zheng Juan, and her friend at the credit union said they could lend us 300,000 yuan."
