Confessions of a Salesman

Chapter 95 Buying a Car
Chen Hua looked at me and asked, "Mr. Feng, are you the busiest lately? Why do you rarely see him here?"

I looked at him suspiciously and said, "Do you have anything to do with him?" Chen Hua immediately said, "It's okay, I'm just asking."

I didn't say anything, but I had doubts in my mind.I am a very suspicious person, but she caught my attention when she asked her seemingly unintentionally.

Since President Wang, Lao Feng, and President Li are not in the company, I will be very busy next time.The sales department has been so busy that I can't breathe. Production, procurement, all things have to be handled by me personally, and I can't leave the office until 7 or 8 every day.I approached everything carefully, for fear of missing something.

When I got off work today, I saw the Crown parked there, and then I remembered, I forgot that Lao Feng said that Lin Lao was in a mood that day.Yes, I haven't seen Lin Lao for a long time.I went to Lin's hometown, Lin Lao's wife opened the door, saw me, her eyes narrowed with a smile, and she said, "Adi (a friendly name from Cantonese), how long are you? I didn’t come), come in quickly (come in quickly)!” I nodded and said, “Grandma, Department, busy!”

Lin Lao's wife is from Chaoshan, a typical Chaoshan woman who wants nothing for her husband and home.Every day she does laundry, cooks, and serves her family. She has never complained. In her world, there are only her husband and children, not herself.Simple and kind, warm to everyone, every day.

I went upstairs to look for Mr. Lin. Mr. Lin was watching TV. On the small table were rice wine, peanuts, oysters, and sand shrimp. He was drinking by himself.

I don't know what I saw, I lost a sentence.

I walked over, put my arms around Mr. Lin's shoulder, and said, "Let's throw it away, is it fun to lose it? (Who is it that is so fun?)"

When Lin Lao saw it was me, he smiled and said, "Shizai, does Zhong know come to visit me? (Do you still know me?)"

(Let me talk about it here. In order to better restore the scene, I wrote some Cantonese. In the future, I will not use Cantonese.)
Mr. Lin's wife took a pair of tableware and gave me a cup. I said thank you, poured myself a cup, and said to Mr. Lin, "I'm really busy, it's no exaggeration, every night until 8 o'clock Too much, my mother almost doesn't remember what I look like!"

Mr. Lin snorted and said, "I know you've been promoted, so you should be busy, be busy!"

I ate the oysters on the table and said, "Why don't you go to work? Are you really retired?"

Old Lin said angrily, "Lao Feng is not a thing. If I don't let him drive, I will quit, and he won't let me retire. Are you angry?"

I asked, "What's going on?"

Mr. Lin said: "Old Feng asked me to go to the office to manage the fleet and be in charge of all the company's transport vehicles and other vehicles. I don't have to drive for him. Where can I know? Don't let me drive, let me manage people, how can I know? He's trying to drive me away!"

I smiled and said, "Old Feng is really not a thing, we Lin Lao can't manage ourselves well, and we let him control people. Isn't this embarrassing our Lin Lao, and I will criticize him later!"

Mr. Lin threw me another sentence and said, "You dare to criticize him? Just make fun of me!"

I had a cup of tea with Mr. Lin and said, "Elder Lin, you can take care of it. If anyone is disobedient, I will help you clean him up. You used to be able to manage so many horses, but now you can't take care of just a few people, let's talk about it. , Lao Feng has his plans, just listen to him, he must have his reasons for doing so!"

Old Lin thought for a while and said, "Can it be the same? In the past, I would fight if I wanted to, and scold if I wanted to. Now it's different. I'm afraid I can't!"

I enlightened and said: "Lin Lao, if you obey me, you will prosper, and if you go against me, you will die. Look at Lao Feng, don't you just do it? It's not difficult. Besides, with me and Lao Feng, who would dare to be disobedient? , I'll kill him!"

Old Lin said, "Well, that's fine, then you have to help me!"

I said with the package ticket: "It goes without saying, don't worry! By the way, you find a driving school. I want to get a driver's license first and buy a car to drive. Now it's inconvenient."

Old Lin said, "I'll just drive for you, what's the trouble?"

I shook my head and said, "I don't have that level. You can help me find a driving school. Besides, you are in charge of the team, so how can you have time?"

Lin Lao agreed.The next day, he signed me up and asked me to go to the driving school to practice driving every day after get off work.

I also feel that I can’t go to 7 or 8 every day like this, so I can’t do anything by myself, definitely not.So, I told Chen Hua to try to arrange things before get off work. After get off work hours, I don't care. If anyone has an opinion, let them directly let President Wang speak.

So after get off work, I went to driving school.I found the master introduced by Mr. Lin, greeted him politely, and took out the two hibiscus kings that I had prepared to give to the master.Who knows, when this master heard it, I was introduced by Mr. Lin. He nodded and bowed his head. Not only did he not want my cigarettes, but he kept handing me cigarettes, which made me very embarrassed.

Driving practice generally requires a group of 5 or 6 people, with one wheel to practice.But this master is very good. As soon as I come, I will tell the other students to leave and come back tomorrow.Later, I was left alone from 5 to 7 o'clock.I really doubt, how much does this master owe Mr. Lin?
Today, when I was practicing driving, I got off work early and wanted to go earlier.The master saw that I came early, so he was going to end it early. I said straight, I'll take a look next to me, don't do that, people are not good for paying.

Then, I saw that one of the middle-aged female students, when reversing, stuck her head out of the car window, and most of her body was almost sticking out. The master sat in the passenger seat and pushed the woman directly with his hands.The woman shouted: "Master, push it again, and I'll go out!" The master said angrily, "You know that? How many times have you said it, looking in the rear mirror, why are you leaning out? If you do that Driving, it is estimated that the head and body have long been separated."

I stood by and almost laughed.Then, a beautiful woman got into the car, and the master said impatiently, "You said you were wearing such a narrow skirt and high heels. You are here for a blind date? How do you drive? You can't even move your legs!" The beauty lowered her head and dared not speak.

The master said, "Go and change your shoes first. I've said it many times, but I just don't listen."

Finally, the other people were driven away, and the master said calmly: "You don't know where it came from. Such a group of papayas is a church, and they will go out to harm people in the future."

I hurriedly said, "I'm about the same, I'm nervous when I get in the car."

The master hurriedly said: "You really don't have it. It's not about Mr. Lin. I really think you drive very well. You have driven it before. After two days of practice, I will arrange for you to take the test."

In my heart I asked: "Master, can I do it?" The master said firmly: "It's fine, I'm sure, I'll put a walkie-talkie in your test car, I'll tell you to drive it, I promise you Pass!"

I said gratefully: "Thank you so much, master, wait, I'll invite you to drink again!"

The master hurriedly declined and said, "Don't dare, Mr. Lin said, my dad came to learn how to drive, whatever it is for you, whatever it is!"

I laughed in my heart and said, Mr. Lin is too bullying, but he said, "Don't listen to him, he is joking."

The master said solemnly: "Old Lin's words can't be taken as a joke, he has to do what he says."

In this way, I got my driver's license in less than a month. On the day of the test, the instructor took the walkie-talkie and told me how to do it. It was very simple.The other test takers who watched it scolded that the driving school was run by our family.

When I got home, I discussed with my dad that I wanted to buy a car. My dad supported me very much, saying, I have no chance to drive in my life. If you can drive, it would be great, and how much is the difference?
I hurriedly said, I have enough, and I don't buy any good cars.I figured it out myself. I have about 8 in my card. It is estimated that if I buy a small car, there should be no problem.

When it comes to cars, I really don’t know anything about cars. I don’t know what kind of cars are good. Crowns definitely can’t afford them. I think Mr. Huang’s BJ jeep is too ugly. I think pickup trucks are good, but inconvenient.I asked Mr. Lin, who knew that Mr. Lin opened his mouth and said, "It must be a Mercedes-Benz. That car is wide, big, and safe!"

I rolled his eyes at him and said, "When I didn't ask, when I didn't ask!"

Only then did Mr. Lin react and say, "You buy a shitty car. I also have a Camry at home. You can drive it first. Mercedes-Benz will probably drive it for you. It's a bit too conspicuous." I said, "Just forgive me. Well, I will ask others, not you, you are too unreliable!"

After inquiring and inquiring, in the end, the classmate introduced a Honda Fit with two boxes in a small car.I took a look and thought that this car is very beautiful. It is a little small for me to sit in, but the price is still suitable. It is less than 9 yuan. I don't need to ask my parents for money, so I ordered a blue one.

On the day I paid for the car, the office manager gave me my ID card and a credit card of China Guangfa Bank, saying that it was for the vice president of the company and the limit was 10 yuan.Originally, I was worried that if I bought a car, I would have no money on my body, but that's fine.

The morning I got the car, I was very excited, thinking that I had the first car of my own in my life, how proud I am.When I went with Mr. Lin, Mr. Lin said from the beginning to the end: "What do you think, buy a toy car!" I was half-dead with anger.

It was my first day to go to work with a new car, and I couldn’t feel panic. Although I used to drive a pickup truck around in Lianyuan, there were few cars and few people there. I dare not smoke, and I dare not listen to music, for fear of being distracted.When I got to the company, I couldn't park, so I asked Mr. Lin to come down and help me park.Lin Lao is so angry, he said, I am a waste.

It has been nearly half a month since the salespersons were released to the market. I plan to recruit them all to ask about the situation.

I took all the salespeople's customer surveys, looked at them, and looked at each of them.Some people bowed their heads, while others looked at me, as if waiting for my praise.
