Chapter 57: Mr. Zhang wants to pick me up
Haisha City.
Ludatie Outdoor Products Co., Ltd.
The boss, Lu Tie, was sitting in the tea room with a sullen face. In front of him sat a thin, yellow-haired young man and his girlfriend.
"Brother Lu, please sell it to us. I really like that car."
"Yes, brother. You have already bought a new car. You can give us the previous one at a lower price."
Lu Tie looked at his cousin Lu Guan and frowned, "What are you talking about? How much can I sell it to others for 10? How much can you give me?"
Lu Guan laughed and said, "Brother, you are already so rich, what's the point of calculating these small amounts of money with me?"
Lu Tie sneered and was too lazy to bother with this stupid cousin.
There are such people in this world, and I don’t know whether they hate the rich or for some other reason.
Always want to take advantage of those rich relatives and friends.
It is said that art comes from life, and many jokes on Douyin like to be shot in this way. Some people even shoot the kind of thing where a cousin gets married and asks his cousin to lend him the newly renovated house as a wedding house.
Many people think that this is all a script and that such a thing could never happen in reality.
But those who didn't believe it went to Baidu and searched it, and they all shut up.
Because there are many real cases of this kind of thing, more than just one or two.
Some people borrow houses to change their fortunes, while others borrow them without returning them.
But no matter which one it is, the person who lends out the house will definitely be the one who suffers the loss.
"A Guan, I'm not saying anything bad about you, just buy a car that fits your budget. Domestic new energy vehicles that cost more than 100,000 yuan are pretty good. Why do you have to buy my car? With your current income, it would be painful for you to fill up a tank of gas with my car."
When Lu Guan’s girlfriend heard this, her face suddenly darkened, feeling that this was an excuse Lu Tie made up for not wanting to sell the car to her.
Lu Guan also frowned and said, "Brother, what you are talking about is just a broken Ford. If you don't want to sell it, forget it. We can just find a used car dealer and buy it."
Lu Tie frowned. If he hadn't been successful in cultivating his Qi over the past two years, he would have been able to slap his cousin away with just one slap.
His previous car was a 2020 Ford Mondeo. People who know cars know that this car is also a gas guzzler. If the road conditions are good, it will consume 15 or liters of fuel per kilometers. If the road conditions are bad, it will basically consume liters or more.
Although its front face resembles that of an Aston Martin and many young ladies who don't know much about cars may take a second look at it when it's driving on the road, that's all in the past.
Take a deep breath.
Lu Tie said helplessly: "Okay, I can sell it to you. How much do you want to pay for it?"
Hearing this, Lu Guan immediately perked up. He looked at his girlfriend and said in tacit understanding, "Brother, you've been driving that car for several years after all. Why don't you sell it to us at a lower price?"
"Yes, Brother Tie, you also know the situation between me and A-Guan. My parents paid for the car."
Lu Tie took a deep breath again and said speechlessly: "Why, you don't want me to let you drive for free, do you?"
"That's not possible, brother. How about we give you 3 yuan first, and then 2000 yuan a month for two years?"
Faced with such shameless words from his cousin, veins on Lu Tie's forehead popped out.
"You guys, it's only 70,000 or 80,000, and you're still paying in installments?"
"Brother, we really don't have that much money."
"Why would you buy a car if you don't have money?"
Lu Tie was really angry now. He knew his cousin's character very well. Let alone giving him 2000 yuan a month, I would be very lucky if this kid could give him that for a month.
Seeing that Lu Tie was really angry, Lu Guan and his girlfriend were both scared.
At this time, there was a knock on the tea room door.
Zhang Ying poked her head in to take a look and said, "Boss Lu, Boss Zhang is here."
Lu Tie glared at his two cousins, then stood up and asked, "The transfer was completed so quickly?"
Zhang Ying nodded and took credit, "My brother has a friend who works at the vehicle management office. Of course it's faster to find someone to do the work."
Lu Tie smiled and said, "Okay, I'll give you a raise later."
Zhang Ying made way for Zhang Chi, who walked in with a smile and said, "Boss Lu, sorry to bother you. I heard you have some business to take care of for me."
Lu Tie walked up to Zhang Chi and shook his hand, then nodded and said, "Several VIP customers are going on a self-driving tour to the snowy region for about a month, and asked me to help find a reliable car rental company. I thought of you, my friend."
Zhang Chi had roughly heard Zhang Ying's suggestion, and nodded: "That's absolutely no problem, and our car rental company has certain discounts for long-term car rentals."
Lu Tie nodded slightly and said, "I understand this. I'm mainly worried about the mileage. Car rental companies have very high requirements for mileage, and they charge extra for the mileage exceeding the limit. I wonder what your company says?" Zhang Chi's expression changed when he heard this.
The bad thing about renting a car is that car rental companies basically have mileage requirements. The daily rental distance should not exceed 200 kilometers. If the distance exceeds the limit, a damage fee ranging from 1 to 5 yuan will be charged.
However, those are all other people. Zhang Chi has a heart for cars, and those losses are just a few kilowatt-hours of electricity to him.
It is definitely impossible to just not charge anything, I would feel like a fool.
I thought about it.
Zhang Chi nodded and said, "Considering that they are going to the snowy area, we can make an agreement on the mileage. As long as the schedule does not exceed 300 kilometers, the daily rental fee is 288 yuan. For the part exceeding 2 kilometers, an additional yuan damage fee will be charged for each kilometer. What do you think of this plan?"
Lu Tie's eyes lit up. This price was much cheaper than that in Sichuan Province, and Zhang Chi's cars were all in good condition.
"Okay, let's make it a deal. They'll be leaving in about three days, and they'll need six Wranglers in total. It would be best if we could give the vehicles a comprehensive maintenance before they leave. I wonder if that's convenient."
Zhang Chi nodded. Since the other party was taking care of his business so much, he had to cooperate with them to the best of his ability no matter what.
Maintenance is naturally not a problem, the key is that there are only 4 Wranglers on hand, which means that he has to get two more Wranglers.
For 30 days, 6 cars, and 288 days' rental fee for each car, that would be more than 5 yuan in revenue.
It may seem like a small amount, but it is actually a sure profit.
You have to know that car rental companies don’t have such good business every day.
As long as someone rents a car, whether it is for a long or short period of time, you can make a lot of money by renting out the car.
Of course, the real money-making comes from daily rentals and short-term rentals.
We agreed to hand over the car in three days.
Zhang Chi offered to resign.
He couldn't wait to go to the finance office to get the money.
The price agreed upon before was 248000, but Zhang Chi paid all the money for the formalities and taxes in the morning.
In other words, the actual amount received is just over 24.
Looking at the deposit information in the bank card, Zhang Chi happily expressed his gratitude to Zhang Ying.
Not only was he grateful for the money arriving so quickly, but he was also grateful for her helping him get the business license.
Although it doesn't cost much to find someone to do it for you, some things cannot be calculated that way. He now has acquaintances in the industrial and commercial sector.
"My dear sister, would you please have lunch with me at noon?"
"Hey, Mr. Zhang, are you trying to pick me up?"
Zhang Chi: “…”
Uh, girl, you think too much.
Zhang Ying laughed and said, "You're just kidding. Why are you taking it so seriously? Forget about eating. I'm very busy."
Zhang Chi heard this and smiled awkwardly.
"Okay, I'll treat you to a meal next time I have the chance."
After Zhang Chi finished speaking, he ran away in shame.
Looking at his back, Zhang Ying sighed helplessly, "Why didn't this guy insist a little bit? Maybe I would have agreed."
On the other side, Lu Guan and his girlfriend left Lu Tie’s company with unhappy looks on their faces.
The two of them went downstairs and found their electric donkeys. Lu Guan's girlfriend frowned and said, "You always say how good your brother is, but I think he is just so-so. It's not like you don't pay him for the installment payment, why are you so stingy?"
Lu Guan also expressed great anger.
Just then, Zhang Chi drove a Mercedes-Benz G out of the underground garage.
Seeing this, Lu Guan’s girlfriend’s eyes lit up and she said, “A Guan, why don’t we rent a car? No matter what, it’s Xiao Zhen’s birthday this weekend and I must drive a car over to slap her in the face.”
Lu Guan looked at Zhang Chi who was scanning the code to pay the parking fee, and nodded thoughtfully.
At this time, Zhang Chi didn't know that these two funny guys almost broke his defense.
Of course, this is all follow-up.
