The Rebirth of the Financial Hegemon

There are some doubts, but naturally it is not a complete denial.

Zhao Jiangchuan is also an experienced driver after all, even if the driving position is different, even if there are some differences in the operation of manual transmission and smart driving cars.

But after all, it is a person who has driven countless cars. After trying it, he gradually adapted to this Audi 100 car. The car that was originally driven by him gradually became more stable.

On May 17, 1988, FAW and Audi signed the "Technology Transfer License Contract Regarding FAW's Production of Audi" in Changchun.

This is the first standard high-end car technology transfer contract in the history of China's automobile industry.

In fact, the Audi 100 assembled in China at that time was very poorly equipped, with no airbags and ABS, old interior decoration, few electric equipment, and no sunroof.

However, because it was the first luxury model to be assembled in China, and it was in the period of planned economy at that time, automobile circulation was still dominated by state-owned units such as the Bureau of Materials and Materials for unified purchase and sales.

Therefore, these vehicles were snapped up by government departments before they were released.

In accordance with the official travel standards stipulated in the red-headed documents at that time, the Audi 100 became the only designated car for "high-end official cars".

Under this circumstance, it is conceivable that people favor the Audi series, which represents a symbol of identity and status.

The Audi 100 is naturally not 100 yuan, just like the Santana 2,000 yuan is not 2,000 yuan.

As the first domestically assembled luxury model, the price of the Audi 100 is naturally not that cheap.

Three hundred and fifty thousand.

A sky-high price that ordinary people can't even imagine.

And this price is not available in all cities, and only some southeastern provinces can have it in stock at any time because there are more cars.

Zhao Jiangchuan naturally wouldn't care about the price, but Zhao Donglai and his wife were in a dilemma.

First, the price is too expensive, and second, the Audi 100 is too conspicuous.

Not to mention that Zhao Donglai is a small division chief, even some bureau-level cadres probably don't have cars like Audi.

"Xiaochuan, why don't we find another car? It's not very cost-effective to own one."

Unknowingly, Zhao Jiangchuan already had a big say in his status in the family, and Huang Yajuan began to ask for his opinion intentionally or unintentionally, even on matters such as buying a car.

Zhao Donglai didn't speak, but he obviously hesitated, even though his eyes were full of fire.

But if you drive such a car normally, you will definitely be reported to the Discipline Inspection Commission. In any era, there will always be people who like to tell people behind their backs.

It's not impossible to change to another car.

Zhao Jiangchuan understood the concerns of his parents, even though Huang Yajuan's words were very reserved.

But he knew that his parents were obviously frightened by the Audi 100, a car reserved for high-ranking officials.

But before Zhao Jiangchuan could speak, the salesperson standing aside spoke first.

Cars are sold every day, and all the salespeople are naturally very sharp-eyed. They know who is really buying a car and who is just having fun.

This family of three came here, it was New Year's Eve, and they even took the car for a test drive. It was obvious that they really wanted to buy a car before the new year.

Not cost-effective?

How can you miss out on a piece of business because the price/performance ratio is not high? You know, if you can sell a car, you will get a lot of commission.

"Sir, the Audi 100 is indeed not very cost-effective, but I can recommend a very cost-effective model."

After a pause, the salesperson pointed to a very impressive-looking car model and said.

"This Nissan Duke is the world's first high-end model to use a 5AT automatic transmission, and it is also one of the representative cars of Japanese luxury cars. In other places, this car sells for a minimum of 680,000, but our store only costs 680,000 yuan. It’s only 380,000 yuan, which is definitely very cost-effective.”

You can buy a car worth NT$680,000 for NT$380,000.

Anyone who is not a fool knows that there is something fishy in this.

As he used to work at the customs, Zhao Donglai was very sensitive to such large imported items. As soon as he heard the salesperson's introduction, he knew that the grand-looking car not far away must be smuggled goods.

Otherwise, it would be impossible to buy a Nissan Duke at such a low price.

Because let alone a new car, even a second-hand car cannot lose half of its price all of a sudden due to its value-preserving properties.

"Is this car coming from the sea?"

The salesperson is not embarrassed either. In a place like Ludao, smuggling is almost an obvious thing. With such a low price, it would be abnormal for others not to guess the trend.

"Boss, you don't have to worry. Even though it's a car that came from the sea, don't worry. As long as you buy it from us, we'll handle all the procedures for you. It's no different from a regular one. Just drive with confidence." .”

Don't worry, don't worry.

Ludao is such a big place, and it is definitely someone else who can transport the car from the sea to the shore, and can also handle the procedures. No one except the Lei family can do it.

Therefore, Zhao Donglai quit immediately after hearing this.

Zhao Jiangchuan said that what happened to him later was inextricably linked to the Lei family, and what Zhao Jiangchuan said was that the nose has eyes. How could he not be afraid?

"What are you talking about? Do you think we are the kind of people who take advantage of you? It's just these two Audis worth 100, go and give us a ticket."

The salesperson is so frustrated.

Whoever said that the price/performance ratio was not high just now was a bit selfish, but it was considered a good intention to introduce the Nissan Duke.

After all, if you can buy a car worth 680,000 yuan for 380,000 yuan, how can you help people save money?

But now it's good, he was scolded for no reason, as if he was trying to deceive others.

Damn, my feelings are like those of a fool.

The only thing that made the salesperson happy was that he still sold a car. Even if the commission was not as high as that of the Nissan Duke, the 350,000 yuan car still made a lot of money.

When Zhao Donglai followed the salesperson to issue the invoice, Zhao Jiangchuan kept watching his nose and heart, as if he didn't hear anything.

It's just that this guy was holding back his laughter.

He could feel that Zhao Donglai was really scared, and it was obvious that he didn't want to have anything to do with the Lei family.

It seems that his effect in playing the magic stick is not very good.

Naturally, there are no formalities for buying a new car, and the Chinese New Year is coming soon, so I have to wait until after the New Year to get the full set of formalities.

But this is not a problem. Owners who can sell cars have many ways to get car buyers to drive the cars on the road.

A set of cards that I got from nowhere is equivalent to solving the problem.

As for driver's licenses and driving licenses, in this era, the Audi brand represents everything. Let alone the Chinese New Year, no one will meddle in other people's business.

Just like that, a guy who didn't even have a driver's license drove a car with no formalities and took to the road openly.
