My courtyard shelter

"What, eighteen salesmen..."

"Dad, do you have so many business to run? Can you manage it? Also, can our small shop afford so many people?"

Xu Dong smiled bitterly and asked three questions in a row.

Dad Xu waved his hand and said nonchalantly: "Don't worry, these salesmen have very low basic salaries. If you want to get a high salary, you can only run business based on your ability. We don't keep idle people in our shop."

"How much basic salary did you give them?" Xu Dong asked curiously.

"500 yuan per month, three days of training, and then go to work directly. If you can't get an order in a month, you can just leave."

"So low!"

Xu Dong was a little speechless. Now that prices are so high, 500 yuan is not enough for food. If it weren't for the high unemployment rate, it would be a miracle if people could be recruited under these conditions.

"I don't care about this. I only recognize performance here. If you want to get a high salary, then work hard to run business. Nothing else will work."

Unconsciously, Dad Xu began to have the "style" of a black-hearted capitalist.

"Dad, how much is your monthly turnover now?" Xu Dong asked tentatively.

The eldest granddaughter was right next to him, so Xu's father couldn't say it directly, so he shook his chin secretly.

"One hundred thousand?" Xu Dong confirmed softly.

Xu's father shook his head and slowly uttered two words: "One million."

Xu Dong couldn't help but take a breath.

Tsk tsk tsk...

I didn't expect that my father would make such a big business quietly.

Monthly turnover of 5 million, that's 60 million a year.

This revenue is higher than many medium-sized companies, and it is definitely in the right place.

"What about the profit?" Xu Dong continued to ask.

"Because the employee commission is very high, the profit is not much. Now it's about 300,000 or 400,000 a month!" Xu's father said "modestly".

"It's not a small amount. With this calculation, it's reasonable to buy a car." Xu Dong nodded.

Dad Xu took the opportunity to tell his plan:

"Actually, I want to save more money and rent a bigger store by the end of the year. This store is indeed a bit crowded now."

Xu Dong advised: "It's enough to have a store. If not, rent a warehouse. I think it's more urgent to buy a car."

Housing reform will be carried out next year. If we rent a big store now, it will be a hassle if it is a long-term lease. It's better to wait and see.

Finally, with the strong support of Xu Dong, Dad Xu finally made up his mind to buy a car.

…

The next day, which happened to be Sunday, Xu Dong accompanied his father to a well-known second-hand car company in the suburbs. It is said that the scale is one of the best in Yanjing.

As for buying a new car, don't think about it.

At present, all major car companies are still recovering. In addition, there is a global shortage of parts. The current production capacity is very limited. It doesn't matter. You can't get a car at all.

"Welcome, are you two here to buy a car?" Perhaps because of the face of Daben, the salesperson seemed very enthusiastic.

Xu Dong nodded and asked, "Yes, do you have any newer second-hand cars here? It's best to have a big brand car."

Since it's for show, of course, a famous brand car is the first choice.

"Yes, please follow me, let's choose a car on the spot."

The salesman led the two through the back door, and a large yard of more than 10,000 square meters appeared in front of them. Hundreds of second-hand cars were neatly arranged in the middle of the yard, most of which were cars.

"Are there any imported cars?" Xu's father suddenly asked. As a short video addict, he knew a lot about cars.

"Of course we have this, please follow me."

The three came to a white BMW car, and the salesman introduced:

"You two came at the right time. We just repaired this BMW X5 yesterday. It is 70% new. As for the cause of the accident, I believe you should be able to guess it, so I don't need to say more."

"Old three, what do you think of this car?" Xu's father looked at his son and asked.

Xu Dong was not very knowledgeable, so he asked a few common questions in a formal manner, and then asked about the price:

"How much is this car?"

"The price is 1.2 million, and our company also provides a three-year warranty service."

When Xu's father heard the price, he backed out on the spot.

What a joke, he only made more than one million in the past few months, it is impossible to use all of it to buy a car.

Xu Dong also felt that the price was a bit high. If this car was put in last year, it would be at most 200,000. Even if the price is skyrocketing now, it will not exceed one million.

"Are there cars around 500,000?" Xu's father asked directly after giving up his delusion.

The salesperson was a little disappointed. With a budget of 500,000, he could only buy a mid-range car at most, and the commission was almost two-thirds less.

"There are all Fengtian cars over there, I'll take you to have a look."

Xu's father quickly took a fancy to a white Fengtian Crown Land. The appearance of the car looked very impressive, but the age of the car was a bit old, and it looked almost 50% new.

Xu Dong drove the car around the yard and found nothing wrong with it. Overall, it felt good.

Seeing Xu Dong nodded with satisfaction, Xu's father immediately asked, "How much is this car?"

"530,000, but we only provide a one-year warranty." The salesperson replied.

The price did not exceed Xu's father's psychological expectations, and the model was also suitable.

Xu's father was satisfied, and the next job was for Xu Dong to bargain.

In short, it took a lot of effort to get the price down to 80,000 yuan.

"Mr. Xu, I'm sure you know how badly there is a shortage of cars on the market now. Our company's cars are not worried about selling at all, so the price really can't be lowered any further."

Dad Xu couldn't wait to wink, and Xu Dong nodded and agreed:

"Okay, we want this car."

The salesman finally smiled, and he was so considerate that he helped calculate the transfer tax, insurance, and other miscellaneous expenses.

He also wiped off a small amount of 800 yuan in the middle.

In short, Dad Xu only needs to take out 550,000 yuan now to drive these two Fengtian cars home.

And the second-hand car company will also assist in the license plate, and it can be registered in as soon as one week.

Fortunately, Yanjing has no license plate restrictions a few months ago, otherwise the license plate problem would be more troublesome than buying a car.

After spending a whole morning to complete all the procedures, Dad Xu finally owned his first car in his life.

On the way home, Xu Dong suggested that Dad Xu could learn to drive a license, but Dad Xu refused.

"I'm so old now, I'd better be safe. Anyway, most people in the store have a driver's license, so there's no need for an old man like me." Xu's father is very open about driving.

"My mother is still waiting for you to take her for a ride!" Xu Dong joked.

"When she gets old, your mother's biggest wish is that the whole family can be safe and sound."

This topic is a bit heavy.

In fact, many elderly people in Daxia have the same wish as Xu's mother, but the next few years will completely break this beautiful fantasy.
