Chapter 111: The financial sponsors are coming one after another
Xiasha Village.
After seeing off Wang Chao and Yang Yue, Zhang Chi took out his cell phone to contact the parts supplier in Haicheng.
Some loopholes need to be plugged. If you are running a car repair shop and modification studio, how can you not stock up some car parts?
Fortunately, Zhang Chi has been working in auto repair for so many years and knows a lot of people in the industry.
He directly placed an order of about 30 yuan and asked the people in Haicheng to ship the goods to him as soon as possible.
Anyway, it will look good when the time comes, so just be as fancy as possible, the main thing is the appearance of the card.
As for car repair and modification, you have to leave it to Car Heart.
A good pair of drift tires would cost more than 3000 yuan just to purchase.
And if you use the Car Heart to modify it, it only costs 40 degrees of electricity. Even a fool would know what to choose.
As for how to conceal it from others.
Zhang Chi already had a plan in mind.
Small problems can be fixed at the auto repair shop at the entrance of the village, while big problems have to be taken to the bamboo factory.
Tell people you know that you will hand it over to an outside studio.
It doesn’t matter for people you don’t know, because they won’t stare at the village entrance every day anyway.
Just placed the order.
Zhang Chi saw Shen Feifei walking in with a bamboo basket and a bunch of wild flowers in her hand.
Seeing that Zhang Chi had finished his work, she smiled and said, "It looks good, right? This is a gift from Long Zhang and Long Ji."
Zhang Chi looked up and saw the two little guys peeking out of the door.
Zhang Chi asked curiously, "Why did they send you flowers?"
Shen Feifei pulled a chair and sat down, then placed the flowers and bamboo basket on the table and started to fiddle with them.
At the same time, he replied: "It's nothing serious, just let me teach them to sing."
"Sing?"
Zhang Chi was stunned.
Shen Feifei looked up at him, raised her eyebrows unhappily and said, "Why, do you doubt my ability?"
Zhang Chi saw this and waved his hands hastily, laughing and saying, "No, no, it's normal for a perfect woman like you to have multiple talents. I just wonder how they knew you could sing?"
Shen Feifei raised the corner of her mouth slightly, looked at Zhang Chi playfully, and said, "What do you think?"
How would Zhang Chi know?
Seeing his embarrassed expression, Shen Feifei did not ask any more questions. Instead, she lowered her head and concentrated on fiddling with the flower basket.
Fortunately, there wasn't much time left for the two of them to be alone.
Yu Youxi ran in and shouted when he saw Zhang Chi, "Boss, another big order has come in."
Zhang Chi was delighted when he heard this, and hurried forward to ask, "Where did you get the order from, and how big is it?"
Yu Youxi pointed to the screen of her mobile phone, on which was a private chat record between her and a fan.
After looking at it for a while, Zhang Chi frowned and said, "Lexus LC500, it needs to be modified... This car is not cheap."
Yu Youxi pulled up the chat history and said, "They said that a used car is fine, and the total budget is 150 million. They believe in your ability and praised you for being a great driver. The modified car must be even better."
Zhang Chi took a look at the chat content and couldn't help but smile smugly.
I have to say, it's quite comfortable to be praised like this, especially when it comes from a beautiful woman.
"How about it, do you want to take this order?"
Yu Youxi couldn't wait to hug Zhang Chi's arm and shook it, saying, "This person is one of the top ten fans of mine. He said that if you agree to modify a car for him, he will give me ten Ferris wheels during my next live broadcast."
Zhang Chi looked down at Yu Youxi's little bump, and his arms couldn't feel anything. It was such a pity to wear this low-cut suspender vest.
I thought about it.
Zhang Chi nodded and said, "Of course I'll take it. I happen to have a Lexus LC500 on hand. I'll shoot a video for you later. Please forward it to him. If he likes it, he can come and pick it up at any time."
"Wow, is this true? Where's the car?"
Yu Youxi looked around curiously.
Zhang Chi held her lively little head speechlessly and said unhappily, "Not here. I have a private garage. I'll take you there to broaden your horizons later."
"You also have a private garage!" Yu Youxi exclaimed.
Zhang Chi laughed cheekily: "How fresh! When I was playing with cars, you were still wearing open-crotch pants."
Yu Youxi was stunned for a moment, then her pretty face turned red and she spat, "Pervert, you are the one wearing open-crotch pants."
After saying that, he glared at Zhang Chi and quickly took out his phone to reply to his fans.
Zhang Chi recalled.
I remember seeing a Lexus LC500 at the Yinlong used car dealership before. Fatty also had one, but it seemed to be Chen Bin's.
Just when Zhang Chi was thinking about whether to make a special trip to Haisha City to pick up the car or go directly to Fatty's place.
The fat man suddenly called.
Zhang Chi answered the phone doubtfully.
The fat man asked, "Chizi, when are you going to take me for a spin? That video is so exciting!"
Without waiting for Zhang Chi to speak.
The fat man continued, "By the way, I have something to talk to you about. A friend of mine watched your video and wants you to help him modify a Mercedes-Benz C63. Do you have time to help him?"
Zhang Chi turned down the volume of the phone receiver, touched his ear, and then responded: "Of course I'm free. Do you have any specific requirements?"
"I don't have any big requirements, I just want to install a big rear wing, change the wheels, and get a set of nitrogen reduction."
Zhang Chi raised his eyebrows and was speechless.
The full name of nitrogen shock absorber: nitrogen shock absorber.
This thing usually appears on off-road vehicles with better off-road performance. It is a shock-absorbing modification component that is recognized to have good long-distance heat dissipation and fast response speed. Generally, sports cars rarely have this thing.
He raised his eyebrows.
Zhang Chi asked tentatively, "Fatty, did you convey the message incorrectly? Does the other party want the N2O nitrogen acceleration system?"
The fat man was silent for a while.
Then he responded, "Oh, yes, yes, that's it. Anyway, it's the speed-up thing in the movies. We brothers don't know much about it."
The fat guy only collects cars and has not yet been involved in the car dismantling and modification business, so it is normal that he doesn't understand anything.
Zhang Chi nodded and said, "We can help change it, but the other party must have the corresponding procedures and certificates."
This thing is not as simple as changing the appearance, but it improves the overall performance and danger factor of the vehicle.
Generally, the vehicle management office will not approve applications unless the applicant has a racing driver's license or relevant supporting documents.
However, there are always some people in this world who enjoy privileges.
Zhang Chi asked this to test the background of the fat man's friend.
Sure enough, the fat man responded as soon as he opened his mouth: "Don't worry about this, you are responsible for the changes, and he can handle the rest of the procedures himself."
Zhang Chi hummed and said, "That's fine. Ask him to drive the car over later. I have two more orders on hand. It will take at least the end of the month to get them fixed. Please let him know in advance."
"Ok."
The fat man was silent for a while after he finished speaking.
Zhang Chi guessed that his friend was right next to him.
"There is one more thing, Chizi. Another friend of mine wants to invite you to a car club, right at the same seaside park as last time." Zhang Chi was stunned for a moment and was about to decline.
Then the fat man said, "This guy said that as long as you show up and drive around to show off your driving skills, we will ask you to modify and maintain all the cars in our car club. If you don't believe him, he can come over and sign a contract with you right now."
Zhang Chi didn't expect such a good thing to happen.
The fat man chuckled and said, "My sister and I are also members of the car club. There are a lot of beautiful girls in our club, and they all come from well-off families. It's common for us to put on car covers and modify the interior. We make a lot of money every month."
Zhang Chi shook his head and smiled, saying, "Okay, now that you've said this, there's no way I can refuse. When is the party? Just send me a WeChat message and I'll definitely make time to go."
After a few more pleasantries, Zhang Chi hung up the phone.
At this moment, I suddenly felt like I was about to be turned into an ox or a horse.
Why are the orders coming one after another?
Yu Youxi just started a live broadcast, but it helped him attract so many customers.
Not to mention how much money he can make from the 150 million order, the long-term cooperation with Fatty's car club alone can bring him considerable income continuously.
It’s just like the car cover that the fat guy just mentioned.
It costs several thousand yuan to put a car cover on the outside, but the material cost is actually only one or two hundred yuan.
This is definitely a highly profitable industry!
There is also vehicle care and maintenance, which is actually just changing the engine oil and windshield washer fluid, cleaning the cabin interior and tires, etc., which can be done with tens or hundreds of dollars. The general cost outside is three to five hundred, and the expensive one is seven to eight hundred.
Of course, if you encounter a car that needs to replace spare parts or be modified, the profit can be even higher.
Zhang Chi couldn't help but feel excited, as if the financial backers were lining up to come to him.
"Is it really the Goddess Mazu who is blessing me?"
Zhang Chi felt that he had become more and more superstitious since he threw the Holy Grail 12 times.
·
The next two days.
It seems to be to verify the blessing of Mazu, or perhaps Yu Youxi's fan traffic is strong enough.
Xiasha Village became lively again.
Long Jianchuan, who was originally hesitant about whether to open a food stall, contracted an area of about 200 square meters next to the parking lot under the constant instigation of his wife and son, and asked Long Jingshan to build a tin shed.
In just two days, Brother Chuan’s food stall was set up.
With Yu Youxi going there every day to support the food stall, the business is naturally good, and fans come to visit the store from time to time.
The food stall business is good.
Feichi Auto Repair’s business is even better.
Zhang Chi has been so busy these past two days that he wishes he could be split into two people.
Although most of them came to exchange driving techniques with him, some of them came to take care of his business.
In just two days, Zhang Chi received nearly 20 modification-related orders of various sizes.
There is a row of cars in my parking lot waiting to be modified.
Various models of sports cars and two off-road vehicles.
Those cool appearances and various sports car models have become unique check-in spots in the village.
Many female internet celebrities or small anchors will wander into the parking lot while strolling around.
At the beginning, my father Zhang Jianguo tried to stop me.
Later I found that the more people took pictures, the more people came to the village for sightseeing, so I just stopped caring about it.
Anyway, as long as they don't scratch the cars, there are cameras in the parking lot, so there's no need to worry too much.
More and more people are coming to the village to travel, and the happiest people are definitely the villagers.
Whether it is the old ladies selling goods or the uncles who work as tour guides for a daily salary, they all made a lot of money by following the Zhang family.
this day.
The old village chief happily found Zhang Chi who was having dinner.
"Hey, why are you here?"
When Dad Zhang Jianguo saw the old village chief, he respectfully stepped forward to share cigarettes.
The old village chief took it with a smile, stood at the door and did not come in, and said, "Chizi, see if there are any profitable places in our village, and give us more suggestions."
Zhang Chi stopped sucking his fan halfway and looked at the old village chief in confusion.
Mom Fu Li also raised her eyebrows, put down her chopsticks and laughed: "What are you saying? How could this kid understand these things? If he really understood, he wouldn't have gone home to repair the car."
The old village chief smiled but said nothing. Instead, he looked meaningfully at Shen Feifei, who was so elegant even when eating vermicelli soaked in soup.
Shen Feifei naturally also felt the old village chief's gaze.
However, she didn't say anything, but picked up a handful of spicy fried river shrimp and stuffed it into Yu Youxi's mouth who was about to speak.
Yu Youxi: “Woo woo woo…”
.
(><)
Seeing this, the old village chief smiled awkwardly.
Zhang Chi looked at Shen Feifei in surprise. He wondered why the old village chief liked this woman so much that he came to his house in person to ask her how to help everyone get rich?
Maybe the atmosphere was too awkward.
Dad coughed twice and said with a smile, "You are confused. You should ask them about this kind of thing. If others can do it, why can't they do it? At worst, you can go up the mountain and pick mushrooms and sell them to make money."
When the old village chief saw that it was Zhang Jianguo who spoke, he immediately became furious and said, "You know nothing. Is it realistic for 60 or 70 households in our village to go up the mountain to pick mushrooms?"
"Why is it unrealistic~"
Dad muttered in annoyance. He thought his idea was a good one.
Seeing this, Zhang Chi and his mother shook their heads helplessly.
Especially Zhang Chi, he knew that his father was naive, but he didn't expect him to be so naive.
Let’s not talk about whether there are so many mushrooms on the mountain. If there are too many mushrooms and they are worthless, not only will the people selling mushrooms now not make any money, but it may also cause some unnecessary neighborhood disputes.
Anyway, it is definitely unrealistic to sell the same product in hundreds of stores.
At this time, the old village chief suddenly blushed and said, "Well, Boss Shen is a city dweller. What do you think city dwellers usually want to do or buy when they come to a small place like ours?"
Hearing this, everyone looked towards Shen Feifei who was sucking fans.
Shen Feifei slurped up the last vermicelli in the bowl, took out a tissue and wiped the corners of her mouth, and said, "Old village chief, what do you think is the biggest problem in the village now?"
The old village chief was stunned for a moment, then looked at Zhang Chi as if asking for help.
Zhang Chi suddenly felt a little flustered. Why was he suddenly being tested?
He hesitated for a long time.
Zhang Chi just remembered something and said, "The biggest problem is probably that we can't keep people at night."
Shen Feifei glanced at Zhang Chi, a hint of approval flashed in her eyes, and then she said to the old village chief with a smile: "Yes, the biggest problem in the village is that no one wants to stay overnight, and more simply, there is no good place for tourists to stay overnight."
Yu Youxi finally had a chance to complain this time, and hurriedly said, "Yes, yes, yes, the supporting facilities in your village are too poor. The Daguang family is the only homestay in the whole village, and there are only 5 guest rooms. There are not enough to share."
The old village chief nodded thoughtfully, and then said with some embarrassment: "What should we do? Let the guests stay in the villagers' homes?"
"Unrealistic."
Shen Feifei shook her head and said, "People nowadays like quiet private spaces. Not to mention the environment of living in a villager's house, many tourists, especially girls, are afraid to stay there just because they think that the person sleeping next door is a stranger."
"Then, is there no other way?"
The old village man sighed.
Seeing this, Shen Feifei exhaled, looked towards the west of the village entrance, and said, "There is a vacant lot to the west of the village. We can build a row of bamboo houses. The villagers can raise funds to build it. Your village has artificial land and a large bamboo forest. It won't cost much. If you make money, you can just distribute the profits among the villagers."
"Bamboo house?"
The old village chief nodded slightly, obviously very moved.
