"Brother Du, what car are you going to change to?"
Liu Yuying asked Comrade Lao Du curiously. Du Chen was also watching his father, wanting to hear what kind of car Comrade Lao Du was going to change to.
"I haven't decided yet. I don't know what kind of car to buy."
Comrade Lao Du looked at Liu Yuying and Du Chen who were looking at him expectantly, and smiled silently. He was not in a hurry, but these two people were actually quite concerned.
"Brother Du, you must have some idea, right? Do you prefer a sedan or an SUV?"
Liu Yuying continued to ask Comrade Lao Du.
"Let's go for an SUV. I go everywhere every day, and a sedan is too low and inconvenient."
Comrade Lao Du thought for a while and said to Liu Yuying.
"Is an SUV good? Is it a five-seater or a seven-seater?"
Liu Yuying asked Comrade Lao Du step by step.
"Let's go for seven seats. This Patrol has six seats, which is just enough. I'm afraid a five-seater won't be enough."
Comrade Lao Du answered Liu Yuying's questions step by step.
"That's a seven-seater off-road vehicle. Right now, there's only the Land Cruiser, Patrol, and Pajero. But looking at it this way, it doesn't make much sense to change it."
Liu Yuying's words stunned Lao Du for a moment. He didn't have much of a choice. He was already driving a Patrol Y60. Upgrading to a Y61 wouldn't seem worth it. Or a Land Cruiser Pajero? That wouldn't be much different from a Patrol. Lao Du was in a dilemma.
"Chenchen, do you have any good suggestions?"
Comrade Lao Du turned around and asked Du Chen beside him.
"Dad, I don't have any suggestions..."
Du Chen was also dumbfounded. Liu Yuying's analysis was correct. There was not much point in switching back and forth.
"So what do you say we should do?"
Comrade Lao Du continued to ask Du Chen, Liu Yuying also looked at Du Chen, and Du Chen looked at Comrade Lao Du and Liu Yuying. The three of them stared at each other, completely not knowing what to do.
"Dad, why don't you give Uncle Geng a call and see if he has any cars available right now?"
Du Chen didn't have any good ideas, so he could only suggest to Comrade Lao Du that he call Geng Xinbo to see if he had any resources and then consider it later.
"I don't think so. We spoke on the phone a month ago, and usually he tells me directly if there's anything he needs done with his car."
Comrade Lao Du said to Du Chen.
In recent years, Comrade Lao Du and Geng Xinbo have always maintained contact, and they have been cooperating in the water truck business. Comrade Lao Du has made a lot of money through his relationship with Geng Xinbo.
"What if? There's nothing we can do now anyway."
"That's right, Brother Du, why don't you ask your comrade? What if he has any good cars?"
Liu Yuying said to Comrade Lao Du with the same anticipation.
"What's wrong? What nice car are you planning to buy?"
Comrade Lao Du looked at the excited Liu Yuying and joked with her.
"Who knows, maybe I'll just get scolded by my wife, it doesn't matter!"
Liu Yuying gritted her teeth and said stubbornly.
"Uncle Liu, you are a real man!"
Du Chen gave Liu Yuying an exaggerated thumbs up.
"Of course!"
Liu Yuying tilted her head back, feeling incredibly awesome.
"Okay, then I'll call Lao Geng now."
Seeing Liu Yuying's weak appearance, Comrade Lao Du smiled and said to Liu Yuying and Du Chen.
“Beep, beep…”
"Hello, hello..."
"Lao Geng, it's me, Lao Du!"
"It's you, Lao Du. What's the matter?"
Geng Xinbo asked Comrade Lao Du directly on the other end, there was no other way, the two of them were too familiar with each other, there was no need for greetings.
"Yes, there is something. Do you have any car?"
Comrade Lao Du was not polite and asked Geng Xinbo as soon as he opened his mouth.
"Hey, didn't I just send you a dozen used cars two months ago? They sold out so quickly?"
Geng Xinbo asked Comrade Lao Du in surprise, not many people can afford to buy a car these days, although second-hand cars are cheap enough, it is still not a small amount of money.
"No, if I could sell it that fast I'd have all the money."
Comrade Lao Du said to Geng Xinbo with a smile.
"What do you mean? Do you have requirements for the car model?"
On the other end of the phone, Geng Xinbo asked curiously.
"Well, my eldest son Du Bin is taking the college entrance exam this year. I promised him that I would give him my Patrol after he passed the exam. Now that he has the Patrol, I'm left with no car to drive. So I'm asking you about available cars and looking for a bargain."
Comrade Lao Du explained the whole story.
"Fuck, Lao Du, you're really something! I can't even drive a Patrol! And you're actually driving a Patrol for your boss? I'd be so sorry if I didn't kill you!"
On the phone, Geng Xinbo laughed and scolded Comrade Lao Du and joked with him.
"Haha, you're talking as if you can't afford a Patrol. I can afford a Patrol because of you. Now I'm trying to take advantage of you again. Old Geng, tell me, have you had any impounded cars recently?"
Listening to the frustrated Lao Geng, Comrade Lao Du laughed heartily.
"Don't tell me, there really is one, but it's not suitable for you!"
Geng Xinbo said on the other end of the phone.
"What car?"
Comrade Lao Du asked curiously.
"Pajero..."
"Pajero? I was just talking about Pajero with my friend. It's not really suitable. It's not much different from the Patrol. It won't make much difference whether I buy a new car or not."
"That's not what I meant. Listen to me first! The Pajero I'm talking about is the two-door version. The car is a bit small. It's not suitable for climbing a mountain or anything like that. It's useless for you and not very useful."
Geng Xinbo explained to Comrade Lao Du.
"Two-door version? How many people can it seat? Two? I'm thinking of getting a seven-seater when I change my car, otherwise it won't be enough."
Comrade Lao Du lost interest instantly when he heard about the two-door version. That was really just a toy.
Du Chen's eyes lit up at the side, but after looking at Liu Yuying opposite him, Du Chen held back and said nothing.
"Yeah, or I'd say it's not for you."
"Are there any other cars?"
Comrade Lao Du asked Geng Xinbo without giving up.
"There really aren't any right now. How about you wait a little longer? Our inspections are getting stricter and fewer people are doing this kind of business. Haven't you noticed that the number of water trucks has decreased?"
"I feel that you used to have dozens of cars every three or four months, but now you don't even listen to me. The volume in half a year can't even catch up with the volume in two or three months."
Comrade Lao Du was deeply touched by Geng Xinbo's words. In the past, Geng Xinbo had dozens of water trucks every three or four months, and he could have about ten of them after he got them. Now, there are only four or five trucks in half a year. Both the time and the quantity have dropped sharply.
"What's going on this time? Just ordering a Pajero?"
Comrade Lao Du asked Geng Xinbo after feeling some inner emotion.
