Chapter 112 My dream car, I got the license plate NB666! (1.55)
Su Ran’s thoughts were quite simple, as he was not short of money now.
When I first came to the countryside, I had no start-up capital, and I needed to transport goods, so I decided to buy a truck.
Now that I have money, I will definitely buy a slightly better car.
After all, as a man, who can resist a big toy?
The old man didn't say anything about this, but was quite surprised.
He really didn't expect that his grandson would make so much money in less than half a year.
"If you want to buy a car, I will definitely support you."
"Well, Grandpa, come with me to look at the car tomorrow."
The old man puffed on his pipe, looked at his grandson and said with a smile: "I don't know anything about cars, so I can't help you with anything if I go."
Su Ran knew that the old man would say this.
Buying a car is a process of enjoyment. How can you not be happy when you see your grandson become successful and buy a good car?
"Grandpa, go ahead. I just want to make you happy. Otherwise, it would be so boring for me to go alone." Su Ran said coquettishly.
Grandpa also smiled helplessly: "I'll do whatever you say."
The next morning, Su Ran and her grandfather finished their breakfast and prepared to go to the city to buy a car.
While clearing the dishes, Grandpa saw some dark circles under Su Ran's eyes and asked with concern: "Did you play games all night again last night?"
Su Ran rubbed his eyes and said, "No, I'm too excited."
Of course I was excited. Like many people, I was so excited that I couldn’t sleep the night before picking up the car.
I just want to drive my favorite car as soon as possible.
You may feel bored after driving for a while, but the initial process of buying a car is truly the happiest time in your life.
It’s also a time of great sense of accomplishment.
The pickup truck was still under repair, so Su Ran rode the donkey and took his grandfather to the town first, and then took a bus to the city.
The goal was clear, and we went straight to the Auto City.
There are quite a few 4S stores here.
When we arrived at the place, there were quite a lot of people coming to see the cars, all of them were young couples or middle-aged people.
I haven't seen many people like Su Ran and his grandfather, an old man and a young boy.
Before going to look at cars, Grandpa asked Su Ran with concern what kind of car he wanted to buy.
The old man has his own suggestion, he thinks it would be better to buy a spacious and fuel-efficient car.
All my grandfather wants is to save as much as possible, after all, oil prices are not cheap now.
Su Ran felt that this was not the point. With more than 4 million in savings, it was not a problem for him to maintain a car worth around 500,000.
He didn't have a specific idea of what car to buy at first, he just wanted to take a look first and decide which one he liked based on his appearance.
So Su Ran took the old man to see the BMW 7 Series first.
BMW has a good brand reputation in China. It is suitable for people of all ages and is loved by both men and girls.
However, when my grandfather saw that this car cost more than 900,000 yuan, he immediately felt heartbroken.
Su Ran thought it was okay, if she really wanted to buy it, she could afford it.
But the front face of the BMW 7 Series has an air intake grille as big as a donkey's mouth, which is too ugly.
Especially luxury cars like BMW, Mercedes-Benz and Audi, they are really nice to drive in the city, they are cool and comfortable.
Su Ran's home is in the countryside, and the road is not easy to walk on because it is full of mud. It would be difficult to drive back and forth several times just to wash the car.
After all, it would be unbearable to see such a nice car dirty.
"Why don't we go take a look at domestically made cars and support our national brands if we can."
Su Ran felt that what his grandfather said made sense. Domestic cars have developed now, and many of them are no worse than overseas brands.
I took a look at the recently popular Xiaomi SU7, and its appearance really attracted Su Ran. It is very handsome and looks like a Porsche Taycan.
The key price is very good, around 300,000.
Especially now that it is very popular, many people buy this car.
The Xiaomi 4S store clerk was very enthusiastic. Not only did he explain the appearance and performance of the car in detail to Su Ran and his grandfather, he also gave them drinks and fruit plates.
"Xiaoran, what do you think of this car?" Grandpa asked Su Ran for his opinion.
Looking at the Bay Blue Xiaomi SU7 in front of him, Su Ran thought for a while and said, "It looks good, but it's pure electric, which is not very convenient for us to drive in the countryside."
Su Ran bought a car mainly to travel from the countryside to the town. Electric car charging stations are not particularly popular in small places, and it takes some time to charge once.
Therefore, domestic electric cars such as Ideal and Blue were not within Su Ran's consideration.
After leaving the 4S store, the salesperson stood at the door to see them off and smiled as he welcomed them to come back next time.
Su Ran took the old man to see a lot of domestic cars, but in the end, he didn't find any that he was particularly satisfied with. At first, Su Ran thought that he could just buy the one he liked, but when he really wanted to buy one, he would consider this and that.
Standing outside in the hot sun, the old man looked at his grandson and comforted him, "If there is no suitable car, let's look around. Buying a car is not like buying clothes. You have to think carefully. If we have money, are we afraid that we can't buy the car we want?"
"Tell me, what kind of car do you think is good?"
Su Ran squatted on the ground and glanced at his grandfather, holding his chin and said, "I think a pickup truck is better. It has strong power and can also haul goods."
Su Ran didn't want to buy a car and then have to stuff things in the trunk when he had to deliver something.
"Didn't you take me to see a Raptor before? Doesn't that car just meet your needs?"
"Well I thought it was pretty good before, but I'm not used to driving foreign cars."
The old man nodded slightly: "Indeed, and a pickup truck costs more than 700,000 yuan, it's not worth it."
Just when the grandfather and grandson were feeling a little frustrated, a luxury pickup truck drove past them.
Su Ran followed the car as it stopped at a Great Wall 4S store and exclaimed, "This car is great. Not only is it luxurious but it also has four seats. Most importantly, it's a pickup truck!"
Soon Su Ran brought his grandfather to the Great Wall 4S store.
Many times it is fate, just like Su Ran fell in love with this car at first sight. Isn't it the dream car that he was destined to buy?
The salesperson at Great Wall was very enthusiastic. Even before Su Ran said she wanted to buy a car, she immediately came over with a smile on her face as soon as she entered the door.
"Hello handsome man, do you want to see the car?"
"Yeah," Su Ran pointed at the pickup truck parked outside, "I think this car is okay. Can I take a look?"
The saleswoman's face instantly lit up with joy, and she quickly welcomed Su Ran and the old man in: "Of course, this is the Shanhai Cannon, the latest high-performance luxury pickup truck from Great Wall's Cannon series!"
"It is a mass-produced large pickup truck built on the Tank platform. It is bigger, stronger and more luxurious, and will become a super partner for global users to enjoy the outdoors and travel the world!"
"Moreover, our Shanhai Cannon is fully equipped, so you don't have to worry about using it. The performance version costs only 28.98 yuan!"
"In addition, we will also give car buyers six major gifts, including worry-free financial gifts, worry-free replacement gifts, worry-free maintenance gifts, online entertainment gifts, worry-free rescue gifts, and user-exclusive gifts!"
-
The female salesperson was really professional and patient. She kept talking to Su Ran with a smile on her face.
Su Ran took a close look at the Shanhai Pao in the 4S store. The female salesperson said that the car was 5462mm long and nearly 2 meters wide, making it a truly large wide-body pickup truck.
The 3.0T V6 engine is also the most powerful, and can be regarded as the ceiling of domestic power. It is matched with Great Wall's new self-developed longitudinal 9AT transmission, which is currently the most advanced self-developed transmission in China.
Equipped with 9 all-terrain modes, it adds off-road functions such as tank turning, off-road cruising, and wading depth detection, allowing it to calmly cope with complex off-road conditions.
The original factory comes with million-level off-road equipment including front and rear metal bumpers, 18-inch off-road AT tires, K-MAN nitrogen shock absorbers, 12500-pound T-MAX front winch, etc.
Of course, Su Ran didn’t fully understand all these data configurations.
He was quite satisfied with this pickup truck, which had a three-door flat canopy and was qualified to tow a C6 trailer.
"This awning is great. It will help me hide the expensive mountain products in a way that they won't attract attention."
Su Ran really feels that the attitude of domestic 4S stores is much stronger than those of foreign joint venture cars.
A big reason may be that foreign cars are well-known and have no trouble selling. Domestic cars are just starting out, so sales attitude is very important.
Su Ran didn't know whether the store would bully customers in the future, but now he had truly experienced what it meant when the customer is God.
"I'm quite satisfied with it. Can you take me out for a drive?" Being satisfied with the appearance and performance is one thing, but the main thing is whether it is comfortable to drive.
Just like some supercars, they look cool, but they are far less comfortable.
The female salesperson smiled brightly and nodded continuously, saying of course.
Then he specifically asked the manager to drive Su Ran and the old man out for a test drive.
Before getting in the car, he personally opened the door for Su Ran and his grandfather. After a few laps, Su Ran felt very comfortable and relaxed.
Just by sitting in the passenger seat, he was already thinking back to the days when he drove this pickup truck to deliver goods.
During the test drive, the female salesperson kept praising Su Ran to the old man for his handsome looks and abilities, which made the grandfather very happy.
This is also a sales technique.
After getting off the car, Su Ran asked her grandfather how he felt.
This was the first time I saw my grandfather so satisfied that he nodded and said, "Not bad, it's comfortable and spacious, and it can also haul goods. Besides, it's not easy for a girl to sell a car."
The old man felt that the salesperson had spent so much time talking to him and even took him for a test drive, and he would feel bad if he didn't buy the car in the end.
Su Ran laughed: "Grandpa, you are too kind-hearted. This is how her job works. She may earn more than your grandson in a month."
If you achieve such a high level of sales, it is not difficult to earn around 50,000 yuan a month.
But one thing is for sure. Even if the other party's attitude is not so good, as long as it is not particularly bad and Su Ran is satisfied with the car, he will still buy it.
The female salesperson told Su Ran that Shanhai Cannon comes in many colors.
The basic colors are gold and black.
The Shanhaipao performance version has added ink black, beach silver, elephant gray, glacier white and Danxia red.
Su Ran thinks that simple and popular colors are better, especially for a car like a pickup truck, black looks very handsome.
After deciding that she wanted to buy this car, the salesperson took Su Ran to pay for it and also gave her a lot of small gifts and a gas card worth two thousand yuan.
