Chapter 55: Neighboring County Collects Pajero
Driving Fat Man's trailer.
Zhang Chi went all the way to the neighboring Tantou County.
He had thought about buying cars from various places before, and he also looked up some information on the Internet.
The market in their county is basically monopolized by Fatty Chen Bin and his gang. If they want to skip their business and buy cars, they can only go to the next county.
After driving for about 20 minutes along the route indicated on the map, I saw from afar an open space under the overpass filled with all kinds of broken cars.
When Zhang Chi drove the trailer into the parking lot, the people here just looked up and continued to dismantle the parts.
Instead, a middle-aged man wearing black-framed glasses walked over.
He glanced at Zhang Chi who was driving and asked curiously, "Dude, are you unloading or receiving the goods?"
Zhang Chi jumped out of the car, took out a pack of Zhenlong Haiyun bought on the road from his pocket, and said, "I'll take some goods, I want something that can pass."
After chatting with Fatty a few times, Zhang Chi had a general understanding of some of the jargon in their industry, and he could speak fluently about it.
There was no surprise to the middle-aged people. People who came to them were either selling or buying.
However, what Zhang Chi wanted was a car that could be transferred, which surprised him a little.
"Then you can take a look for yourself first. All the ones that can be transferred are covered with stickers."
Zhang Chi nodded and took a look at the parts they had disassembled. There were also people specifically responsible for cleaning and inspection.
Although the scale here is not as big as Chen Bin and Fatty's, in terms of professionalism, Chen Bin and his gang can't compare at all.
Perhaps seeing Zhang Chi's confusion, the middle-aged man lit up a cigarette and took a puff, then said, "I have parts for all kinds of cars here, and they are of guaranteed quality and quantity. If you are interested, you can take a look. The prices will definitely satisfy you, and there are discounts for large quantities."
Zhang Chi smiled and did not refuse, nor did he go over to take a look.
He looked around, pointed at a few SUVs, and asked, "What's the price for those Pajero?"
The middle-aged man took a look and said, "Those cars were all flooded. To be honest, their engines are broken. You won't make much money if you take them back, and it will be very troublesome to repair them."
As he spoke, he pointed to several Toyota Prados that were deformed in the east and suggested, "If you want to repair them, those Prados are in good condition. As long as there is no problem with the Toyota engine, the other problems are minor. Brother, you are in the same industry, you should understand."
Zhang Chi nodded slightly. The Toyota Prado is indeed good, but the conditions of those cars are too good, so the cost of purchasing them must be high.
Sure enough, when Zhang Chi heard the middle-aged man’s offer of 6 yuan for a car, he shook his head.
There are steel bars stuck in the driver's seat, and there are traces of dried unknown liquid on the chair. Who knows if there are any cars with soul rings?
Although Zhang Chi is not superstitious, he still feels uncomfortable when driving this thing.
It’s not like there are no other cars to choose from. Zhang Chi still prefers to collect flooded cars. The chance of a flooded car having a soul ring is smaller, and flooded cars usually have big problems, and the cost of repairing them is high, so the selling price is very low.
"Boss, I still want those three water-soaked Pajero cars. Please give me a more realistic price."
Seeing that he couldn't trick Zhang Chi, the middle-aged man could only helplessly exhale a puff of cigarette and said, "If you want those machines, they're 4 each. You basically won't make any money at this price. I'll reimburse the transfer fee."
Zhang Chi raised his eyebrows. At this price, the boss must be making a profit. He estimated that the profit for one car is at least seven or eight thousand.
The core selling point of the Japanese cars is the engine. The engines of cars that have been soaked in water are usually scrapped, and the prices are greatly discounted.
Zhang Chi tried to bargain and said, "Boss, I'm serious about buying. Three cars for 10 yuan, including transfer. I can take the cars away now."
"Brother, you are too cruel. Please let me earn some money."
"Then I'll give you an extra 1000 for each car, 103000."
The middle-aged man: “…” He showed a speechless expression.
Zhang Chi shrugged his shoulders and said nonchalantly, "If that's the case, forget it. I'll go to the next county and have a look. I heard there's a big junkyard there. It seems to be run by a guy named Brother Bin."
When the middle-aged man heard the words "Brother Bin", he narrowed his eyes immediately.
Zhang Chi could clearly feel that his face had become a little gloomy, but it soon calmed down.
The middle-aged man took a long puff of his cigarette and said, "Okay, 10 is 3. If you need a car next time, come to me. I promise to give you the best price."
Zhang Chi was stunned. He didn't expect the boss to agree so readily.
He thought again about Chen Bin's bad reputation, and guessed that he had accidentally taken advantage of Chen Bin to get a good price.
This boss obviously didn't get along with Chen Bin and didn't want Zhang Chi to take care of Chen Bin's business. A few minutes later.
The contract was signed and a deposit of 5 was paid.
Zhang Chi sent a photocopy of his ID card to the middle-aged man, and he would pay the remaining balance in one lump sum after the three cars were transferred.
"Brother, where are you from? Judging from your accent, you seem to be from Haisha?"
Zhang Chi smiled and said, "Mr. Xiao, don't ask so many questions. When we cooperate more, you will know everything naturally."
The middle-aged man is called Xiao Minsheng. His ancestral home is Qinnan. His parents used to work in Fujian Province, and he was born there, which is why he got this name.
Xiao Minsheng smiled and said, "Okay, brother, please take good care of me in the future."
"sure."
Zhang Chi took a look at his inventory and shook his head helplessly. The best car he had was only a BMW 5 Series.
There is no way to compare with the size of Chen Bin and the fat guy.
However, Xiao Minsheng does have some skills. Judging from the configuration of his team, he must have been immersed in this industry for quite some years.
The process of those people dismantling the car was so good that even Zhang Chi, a professional auto mechanic, felt ashamed of himself.
Farewell Xiao Minsheng.
Zhang Chi still used the old routine, towing the car to the bamboo factory and using the car heart to repair it to make it look like new.
It took less than 2 and a half hours to tow the car to the gas station and fill up the tank.
When he returned to the village entrance, Long Xiaoyun was still chatting with the parents about children's education.
When Zhang Chi jumped out of the car, Long Jianchuan walked over curiously.
It was discovered that there was a car on each of the upper and lower levels of the trailer, with another car being towed behind by a traction device.
"Fuck, Bobcat!"
Zhang Chi nodded and smiled: "Uncle Jianchuan also knows about mountain cats?"
Long Jianchuan was stunned for a moment, and said unhappily: "Who among people of our generation doesn't know about the Bobcat? Not only because of Chenlong, but also because the sales of this car in Southeast Asian countries have always been among the top ten. Twenty years ago, all the rich people drove this car."
Zhang Chi smiled, then threw a car key over and said, "Come on, get in the car and drive two laps."
Long Jianchuan took the car keys, nodded excitedly, opened the door and got in.
The tensioner is lowered to allow the front wheels to touch the ground.
The sound of the car engine attracted the attention of several people over there.
Only then did Long Xiaoyun realize that Zhang Chi had returned. Thinking of the compliments from several parents just now, she couldn't help but pursed her lips.
Zhang Chi walked closer and asked, "What are you talking about so happily?"
Several parents smiled at each other and looked at Long Xiaoyun mischievously.
Long Xiaoyun pursed her lips and shook her head, her cheeks slightly flushed and her earlobes red and hot.
One of the parents smiled and said, "Boss, we're not saying anything bad about you, but you can't be so stingy. Our teacher Long is still wearing old clothes from several years ago. You should take her to the city mall and buy her some decent clothes."
Zhang Chi was stunned for a moment, looking at the washed-out cotton T-shirt and cotton and linen trousers on Long Xiaoyun, and suddenly felt that they looked familiar.
"Sister Hua, you don't understand. This suit is a birthday gift that my boss bought for Teacher Long with his first salary. If Teacher Long likes it, of course he should wear it more often."
A ripple exploded in Zhang Chi's mind, and distant memories gradually emerged.
"It's so unfashionable, even my mom wouldn't wear this kind of clothes."
"If you think it's dirt, give it back to me."
"I do not."
"Then you still say it."
"I, I wear it as pajamas..."
