The Pioneer of the Rebirth Era

Ford, General Motors, Volkswagen, BMW of Germany. As the domestic economy becomes more and more open, major international multinational companies have also begun to invest in China, among which automobile investment is the focus of all investments.

The domestic economy around 2000 can be roughly divided into three golden mountains, home appliances, automobiles and real estate. The Internet is very popular now, but it is not as good as these three. As for other machinery manufacturing, how far is it from the lives of ordinary people? There is a layer of distance.

The real estate industry has local exclusion. After all, no matter how good a company you are, it is basically impossible to play real estate without a Chinese account. It is okay if you invest in a few domestic real estate companies.

If you want to participate in the battle in person, except for some projects that require the introduction of foreign capital, other projects are not as free as local household registration, so there are many joint venture real estate companies. Basically, they appear to be Chinese companies on the surface, but it is not very clear whether the major shareholders are ordinary Chinese people.

Compared with real estate, which needs to be covered with a layer of skin, home appliances and cars are completely opposite. Now, as long as they are foreign brands of home appliances and cars, they are called high-end goods.

I don't know how this understanding was formed, but everyone thinks so. Therefore, when buying appliances, the older generation may consider domestic brands to support domestic production and believe in things made in their own country. Most of the younger generation cannot afford foreign brands because they have no money in their pockets.

The same is true for cars. If you have money, you can buy purely imported ones. If you don’t have a lot of money, it must be the first choice for joint venture cars.

In fact, compared to the various domestic brands of cars in later generations who have been complained by netizens, although the domestic cars of this era are certainly not as advanced in technology as foreign countries, the materials used are very solid, and there are more minor problems, but they are worth it.

The great liberation produced in the 1970s and 1980s can still be seen in the freight industry. If we don't consider the issue of car pollution, whether the vehicle model and vehicle equipment are behind.

In fact, the cars of the second and third countries can really be driven for a lifetime. I remember that the National VI of the later generations came out, and the second-hand car market can still see the figures of the National II and the National III.

Therefore, if you buy a car at this time, you don’t have to consider the quality of the main components at all. It is normal to not replace large parts after driving for ten years.

But at this time, buying a car is even better than buying a house. After all, a house is a necessity for Chinese people, and a car is a luxury for ordinary families.

"Why go there? I can't afford the car over there." Wu Xue took Yang Dongxu's arm and dragged him over.

Yang Dongxu has been busy in Shanghai these days. After Wu Xue settled his home, he also saved some money in the past few years and wanted to buy a car for transportation.

The main reason is that self-driving tours have started to rise slowly in the past two years, and compared to rural people who seem to run to the metropolis, people living in the city can now pay attention to their quality of life. It is very convenient to drive to the countryside on weekends. Popularity. So buying a car and taking my parents out for a stroll on weekends is Wu Xue's purpose for buying a car.

"How about I give you one." Yang Dongxu said with a smile.

The place where they live is the Auto City in Shanghai. The rich and handsome like to play with the rich and handsome, and they don't want to have poor dicks by their side, and the poor dicks seem to hurt their self-esteem by standing next to the rich and handsome.

Anyway, the Auto City doesn’t know what the designer planned. There is an area for cars starting at 200,000, the core area is for luxury cars of several million, and an area for Volkswagen brands that does not exceed 200,000. There is a spacious road between the two. The roads are clearly divided.

The 4S point that Yang Dongxu wants to go to is naturally the 4S shop of his own car brand. In order to cater to the consumption concept of Chinese people, the BMW of China brand is not a national independent brand but a joint venture brand.

In fact, it is covered with a layer of joint venture skin, and all the components in it are basically produced in China. Even for some purely imported vehicles, the parts are moved abroad, and then assembled and shipped back to China. Exporting to domestic sales is a very popular business practice at this stage and even for a long time in the future.

Wu Xue dragged him into a Volkswagen Santana shop without saying a word.

"Or you can give the cost price." Yang Dongxu touched his nose and said.

"I'm angry if you're like this." Wu Xue gave him a sidelong glance.

"All right, all right, you choose, that's the one you choose." Yang Dongxu stopped talking.

Wu Xue pulled him to look at the car together, obviously not implying that Yang Dongxu should give her a car. If she wants it, she can just ask. Yang Dongxu definitely doesn't need these routines.

Wu Xue really wants to use her own money to buy a car that is acceptable to her economic conditions. As for bringing Yang Dongxu over here, she mainly spends more than a hundred thousand yuan to buy a car. This is almost all her savings. She felt uneasy when someone came over. Among the friends she knows, Yang Dongxu is the only one who is knowledgeable.

This is undoubtedly a wrong misunderstanding, as if many people think that as long as they go to college, they can do everything, such as farming, seeing a doctor, and repairing home appliances. In short, if you are a college student, you must be proficient, right?

Although Yang Dongxu is the boss of BMW Motor Company, he has also participated in the design of some models. But to be honest about cars, if you talk about some rigid information in books, he will know. After all, as a boss, you need to learn some basics.

But if you talk about some very professional things, he will also look confused. For example, buying a car, taking him to a car repair shop to find a mechanic is actually not reliable.

"Hello, sir and madam, are you here to see the car? Do you have a favorite model?" The two walked into the 4S point, and the salesman greeted him immediately with a smile on his face.

A man and a woman are still so young, whether they are shopping in a mall, buying a car, or going to a gold, silver and jewelry store, they are definitely the shopping guide's favorite customers.

If the young couple is not married yet, as long as you enthusiastically recommend a few models that the other party likes, then basically the order will be secured. It's not like other customers who have been asking questions for a long time, and finally decided not to buy it with a face full of pain.

You didn't buy it, and the item didn't belong to you. What does it mean that you have a painful look on your face? Do you feel sorry for the merchant for losing a customer like you who is unwilling to spend money?

"Look around first, do you have any good recommendations?" Yang Dongxu casually glanced at the cars in the shop.

Compared with a lot of low-end and mid-end cars to choose from in the future, the current car brands are not so rich. Especially in terms of cars, mid-sized cars are still the patent of luxury cars, ordinary cars are generally small, and occasionally some compact cars can be seen.

"Then you can take a look at this Santana, which was just launched this year. There are some compact cars in the market now. Compared with small cars, it is bigger and more fashionable."

The staff of the auto shop opened the car door very enthusiastically while introducing it, allowing two people to go in and experience some interiors. To be precise, the interior generally feels good, and the Santana brand also has a good reputation.

After all, a brand that can be bought for decades, and the brands of the same era have been swept into the garbage dump of history, it makes sense that Santana is still selling.

However, compared to Santana, Yang Dongxu is actually more like buying some more feminine cars like Porsche, BMW and Maserati.

It's not that he looks down on the Santana brand, but when he mentions Santana, what flashes into his mind is an old man sitting in the driving seat, not a young beauty like Wu Xue.

It's like when it comes to truck drivers, people's first reaction is a shirtless rough man. No one thinks of a sexy girl as the first thing in the truck driver's mind.

So if this car is enough and suitable for Wu Xue's father to drive, it would be awkward for Wu Xue to drive it normally.

However, Santana is not suitable. Volkswagen also has a more suitable car, the Golf. Although this car feels a bit stingy to drive, it is very suitable for women to drive.

In fact, if there is Cruze now, it is also suitable for women. It's a pity that Chevrolet has not launched this model yet. Then there are the Japanese cars.

Because of the light body design, most Japanese cars are also suitable for women to drive. But Wu Xue obviously didn't intend to choose a Japanese brand, so the last two stood in front of a red golf.

In addition to the first generation of Golf in 1974, they now see it as the fourth generation of Golf. The overall model looks a bit like a miniature van with a longer head. If it is not so small and boastful, it is a bit like a later generation SUV shadow.

However, this model looks a bit ugly to Yang Dongxu, but it is very fashionable now, especially the compact shape and internal space design are also very reasonable and suitable for home use.

After looking around at random, Wu Xue sat down again and felt very satisfied. Wu Xue was satisfied that Yang Dongxu naturally wouldn't say much, so he asked about the car's basic features and performance.

There is no need to ask the question of whether to bring T or not. Turbocharging is not a factor when buying a car these days, so Yang Dongxu mainly asked about the difference between the engine and gearbox in the middle and high configuration.

One is the issue of internal design. As for the extras and gifts mentioned in the 4S point, in fact, it sounds tall and in fact, there is no need to pay too much attention to it.

Then there is the issue of buying a car with a loan and full payment. Now there is not much difference between full payment and loan to buy a car, and it depends entirely on your spending ability.

Especially for mid-to-low-end family cars like this, in fact, there are quite a few people who buy cars with full payment. After all, I have just lived a good life, unless my son wants to get married and has no choice but to take out a loan to buy a house. Otherwise, most people still feel that it is better to pay the money in one go, so as not to owe so much money to the bank and not feel comfortable going home at night.

Yang Dongxu and the clerk rubbed their tongues, Wu Xue sat in the car smiling and talking, and after ten minutes, Yang Dongxu came back.

"I gave you some discounts. I chose you as a medium-grade one. There is no need for some things that are not suitable for the high-grade one. The full amount plus insurance, purchase tax, licensing, etc., the total is 113,000. Can you accept it? "
