My Side Job is a Trader

I searched the nearby second-hand car trading market with my mobile phone, and found that the nearest one is a second-hand car trading market on Chefeng Road.

Although many Internet second-hand car trading platforms have sprung up like mushrooms, Zhang Xin still feels that offline transactions are not as reliable.

After checking the bus route to the second-hand car market, Zhang Xin went out with his mobile phone and wallet.

After nearly an hour of turbulence, just when Zhang Xin felt a little nauseous and wanted to vomit, he finally arrived at his destination.

The bus in Songjiang is the most unstable bus that Zhang Xin has ever taken in Shanghai. It accelerated for a while, and then suddenly braked suddenly. In addition, the state may not be adjusted well today, which caused Zhang Xin to feel a little motion sick.

After getting off the car, Zhang Xin sat on the side of the road for a while, and finally recovered.

According to the navigation, he arrived at the entrance of the second-hand car trading market. Just as he was about to enter, a young man wearing sunglasses suddenly came up to him.

"Did you come here to buy a car, sir? Are you accompanied by friends? If not, then I can help you choose a good car."

Zhang Xin thought it was sales at first, but after listening to the introduction, he found that it was not the case at all.

Sounds like someone helping to watch the car.

Zhang Xin really didn't pay much attention to cars before. For the understanding of cars, he only knew the logos of some cars. As for the parameters, advantages and disadvantages of each car, he didn't know anything about it.

Right now, there happens to be an expert. Although some commissions are required, it is better than being cheated.

"Are you reliable? Wouldn't it be the trustee inside, secretly cooperating with the merchant to deceive consumers?"

Zhang Xin provoked him with words on purpose. If the other party was indeed a trustee, he would definitely show some subtle expressions.

Zhang Xin has taken psychology courses in university and started to practice before, so he observes some subtleties more carefully.

Hearing Zhang Xin's words, the other party showed a very natural expression: "How is that possible? In our business, the most important thing is reputation. If I really hook up with a merchant to cheat customers, if it spreads, the circle will There is no place for us."

Zhang Xin looked at each other, nodded, and said, "Introduce yourself, I have to see if you are an expert in cars."

The other party saw that Zhang Xin did not refuse, so he handed him a cigarette familiarly, but Zhang Xin refused.

"My name is Hu Lai, Lai from Penglai. I work as a maintenance worker in a nearby car dealership, and I just come here to make some extra money, you know."

Zhang Xin nodded to express his understanding, and also understood why this person had the confidence to help others.

"Do you often help people watch cars?"

"It's not very frequent. Anyway, sometimes money is a little tight, so I will come and have a look."

"Then you help people look at the car, how do you charge the general commission?"

Zhang Xin is more concerned about money.

Hu Lai took off his sunglasses, stretched out his hand and scratched his head, and said, "Generally, the fee is 5% of the transaction price, with a cap of 2,000 yuan." After speaking, he seemed worried that Zhang Xin would not believe him, so he quickly added: "This Basically, it is the market price, if you go to a regular sales consultant, it may be more expensive than this price.”

Zhang Xin gave a "hmm", thought for a while, and said, "Okay, then you can take a good look at it for me. After all, I really don't know as much about cars as you do with cars."

Hu Lai was also happy that he had received a business order.

"What's your name, sir?"

"My name is Zhang Xin."

"What kind of car does Mr. Zhang want to buy? Can you tell me about it?"

Hu Lai quickly entered the role, and Zhang Xin wondered whether he was a car mechanic or a salesman with his sharp tongue.

"There is no specific standard, it is only used for commuting to and from get off work, as long as it is safe and reliable."

Hu Lai continued to ask: "Then is it convenient to ask about your budget?"

"More than ten thousand yuan."

"Oh, there are indeed not many choices. At present, we can only look at some second-hand cars with more mileage. After all, some newer cars are not so cheap."

Hu Lai did not underestimate Zhang Xin because of his low budget. In this regard, he surpassed many professional salespeople.

"Come with me later. I am very familiar with this place. Although there are not many cars that meet your budget, there are also many. When the time comes, you can just watch from the sidelines and leave the specific negotiations to me. Don't worry, I won't let you You are at a disadvantage."

Hu Lai silently calculated in his heart that although Zhang Xin's budget was not high, if he really made this order, he would get at least five hundred yuan in commission.

Zhang Xin nodded to show that he understood.

Walking into the trading market, Zhang Xin found that it was an open-air parking lot, and every car for sale had a sign with the word "resale" written on it.

The two watched as they walked, and soon attracted the attention of the salesperson.

A salesperson hurried forward to ask if there was any need to buy a car, but when he got closer, he saw Hu Lai clearly and shouted, "So it's you, boy, what's the matter? Did you have another friend come to see the car today?"

The salesperson obviously looked familiar with Hu Lai.

Hu Lai gave Zhang Xin a reassuring look, and said loudly, "Haha, it's Brother Qian. Today this is really my friend. His name is Zhang Xin. We often eat barbecue together."

As he spoke, Hu Lai hinted to Zhang Xin with his eyes that he should look familiar to him.

Zhang Xin understood, and said, "Hello, I am indeed Hu Lai's friend. He heard that I wanted to buy a scooter, so he brought me here to see if it was suitable."

Although the salesperson guessed that Zhang Xin might not be Hu Lai's friend, since Zhang Xin wanted to buy a car, he couldn't refuse, so he said smoothly, "Then you really came to the right place. We are the largest second-hand car dealer in Songjiang. Take a look at the car trading market, basically all types of cars can be found, even some luxury cars, do you want me to show you?"

Seeing this, Hu Lai hurriedly said, "Brother Qian, go and do your work first. I'll show my friend first, and I'll find you when I like the car."

The salesperson couldn't say anything when he saw this.

After the salesman walked away, Hu Lai said to Zhang Xin in a low voice: "I have dealt with this person many times. Although it is very dark, it is not deceptive, but the price can be negotiated. When the time comes Let me talk, if you think it's appropriate, give me a gesture."

Zhang Xin stretched out his hand to make an OK gesture.

Seeing this, Hu Lai said, "Yes, just use this gesture."

The two passed one car after another, and some cars even had the plastic film on the seats not torn off, so they looked like new cars.

"These cars are indeed just out of the 4S shop. It may be that the owner of the car has transferred them directly to the second-hand car dealer for various reasons. Generally, the price of this kind of car is about 80% of the original price. If the budget is sufficient, buy this kind of car. It’s a good deal, because the insurance is almost complete.”

Zhang Xin only glanced twice before looking at other vehicles.

Suddenly, Zhang Xin took a fancy to a white car, and the price was only 20,000.

Seeing this, Hu Lai quickly introduced the general situation of the car to Zhang Xin: "Xiali n5 is a car with a fairly good evaluation. It is generally recognized that the failure rate is low, the fuel consumption is low, and the price performance ratio is very good."

Zhang Xin didn't say anything, and turned around again, but finally didn't like the one he liked, so he turned back and took a closer look around the white Xiali.

A scratch was found on the rear of the car.

Hu Lai touched the scratches with his hand, and explained: "It's not very serious, and it can be seen that it is the original paint, which means that this car is not an accident car. The boss can consider buying it."

With Zhang Xin's affirmation, Hu Lai called Brother Qian over.

Hu Lai proposed to take a test drive first, and returned to the original place ten minutes later to negotiate the price.

Brother Qian was not willing to give in too much at first, and finally Hu Lai pointed to the scratches and said: "Look, with such a big scratch, my friend at least needs to paint it when he buys it back, and I just took a look at it. The mileage is quite a lot, Brother Qian, let me give you a good price, if it’s okay, if not, I’ll take my friend to see other markets.”

In the end, the price was finally reduced to around 15,000 and the transaction was completed.

Zhang Xin is still very excited to have his first car in his life, and he can't wait to drive for a while.
