Chapter 943 Different families, common happiness

When the new car rolled off the assembly line, the publicity and promotion sensation was immediately launched according to what had been planned before. Soon, the major media were full of "Huateng·Qinchuan QQ, young people's first car", "3, Huateng·Qinchuan brought QQ home” and “The child is getting married, buy a QQ for the young couple” and other graphic and text promotional materials flooded in.

Lu Province, Shungeng City.

Lao Wang, who just came home from get off work, was about to make himself a cup of tea and watch the news for a while, when he saw his lover walking over happily with a newspaper in his hand, and happily said to Lao Wang: "Oh, my husband Wang, what do you think of this car?"

"car?"

Old Wang was taken aback when he heard that, since when did his wife start caring about driving?But in a daze, he still took the newspaper handed over by his wife, and as far as he could see, a very cute apple-green car came into Lao Wang's eyes. Seeing this cute car, Lao Wang was a little surprised: "Hey!" , this car is okay, it looks good, but..."

He just wanted to say, "But at our age, wouldn't it be a little inappropriate to drive such a car?" But before he could open his mouth, Sister Zhao, who was approved by her lover, continued happily: " Right? I also think it’s pretty good-looking. Look at this car, it only sells for 3. The most important thing is that this car is produced by Huateng Group. The quality should be guaranteed. You say, let’s buy one for my daughter. How about it?"

"Buy one for my daughter?"

Originally thought that his lover was Lao Wang who planned to buy a car for his old couple, but when he heard this, he couldn't help being surprised: Didn't he buy it for us?
"That's right, I bought one for my daughter," Lao Wang's lover, Sister Zhao, said, "The hospital where our daughter works is quite far from our home. It was tiring enough to go to work for a day and a half, and I had to squeeze the bus every day." , You said, if our daughter has a car, it will be more convenient?"

"That's it... that's the reason..."

Lao Wang was somewhat persuaded.

My daughter is in pain at home. My daughter is working in the hospital. She is okay in the morning. If you catch up with the evening rush hour when you get off work in the afternoon, you will not only be sweating when you get home, but also tired as if you have fought a battle. My wife said That's right, it would be great if my daughter could have a car to drive to and from get off work, so that she wouldn't have to crowd with people during the morning and evening rush hour, which would be a good thing, but...

Sister Zhao didn't know that Lao Wang was still a little hesitant, but when his lover had already recognized her statement, she said happily, "Is that so? You thought so too, right? I've thought about it. After my daughter has a car, she doesn't need to It's one thing to squeeze the bus and go in and out by yourself. On weekends, we can take our old couple around the surrounding area. The most important thing is that with a car, my daughter can find a better partner in the future. "

Looking for a better partner?

Yup!

Lao Wang suddenly became energetic. His daughter has been working for two or three years, but she has not found a date yet. This makes Lao Wang and his wife very worried. If the daughter can have a car, will she be able to work more? Go out for a walk, hang around, meet more friends, and have a chance to solve life-long problems?
Thinking of this, Lao Wang nodded again and again: "That's true, but our daughter hasn't touched a car since she got her driver's license last year, can she do it?"

"What's wrong, even if you are not proficient in the front, you will be proficient after driving for two more days." Sister Zhao said disapprovingly: "Besides, this Huateng QQ also has a semi-automatic transmission. At worst, let's spend more money and give it to my daughter. Buy a semi-automatic."

"Semi-automatic transmission? What is semi-automatic transmission?"

Like countless people who heard about this concept for the first time, when he heard from his lover that this Huateng QQ has a semi-automatic transmission, Pharaoh was immediately surprised: I have only heard of manual transmission and automatic transmission, but what is a semi-automatic transmission? Son?
Seeing that her lover didn't even know about the semi-automatic transmission, Sister Zhao immediately became proud, pointed to a line in the newspaper and said to him: "Look, there is an introduction here, saying that the semi-automatic transmission is 'the on-board computer automatically realizes the throttle and The combination of clutch, manual shifting, and never worrying about stalling at the start, how suitable is this for our daughter? Oops...wouldn’t you know if I went to see it some other day and asked the salesperson?”

"Too……"

Before the old couple finished speaking, they heard a "click" sound from the door. They looked up together and saw the tired-looking girl coming back.

Lao Wang, who was still a little hesitant at first, felt distressed when he saw his precious daughter who was exhausted and sweaty all over her body: what my wife said is right, if my daughter has a car, she won’t use it when she gets off work. After suffering this crime, you can sit in the air-conditioned car and come back leisurely?

Besides, there is only such a daughter in the family, and all three members of the family receive wages. What's wrong with buying a car for the daughter with [-] to [-] yuan?It's not that I can't take it out, I can't afford it...

Thinking of this, Old Wang stopped hesitating and waved to his daughter: "Daughter, your mother said that she will buy you a car for commuting to and from get off work. How about you come over and have a look at this car?"

My mom is going to buy me a car?

Miss Xiao Wang, who didn't expect such a good thing, was shocked when she heard the words, and felt that even the tiredness on her body had dissipated a lot. She hurriedly came to her parents, but she said: "Mom, it's still a good idea." Well, a car is so expensive, it costs 10,000+..."

"It's not that expensive, it's only 4 to [-] yuan," Sister Zhao said with a smile: "Here, this is Huateng QQ, what do you think? If you like it, let's go and see the car when you are resting."

Although the whole name of this car is: Huateng·Qinchuan QQ, but in Lu Province, the headquarters of Huateng Industrial Group, when they see the word "Huateng", the common people subconsciously think that this car is Huateng. Produced by Huateng Group, as for what happened to that "Qinchuan", everyone didn't care at all, and they didn't care.

Seeing Huateng·Qinchuan QQ in the newspaper advertisement, Miss Xiao Wang's eyes lit up: "This car..."

"Well, girl, what do you think of this car?"

"Very good," Miss Xiao Wang nodded again and again, and said excitedly: "A colleague in our unit picked up one today, and all colleagues in our department went to see it. This car is really good. It has air conditioning, heating There are all kinds of wind, so you don’t have to worry about being cold in winter and hot in summer, and I heard that all models are equipped with ABS and power steering as standard...”

Speaking of this, Miss Xiao Wang hesitated again: "However, Mom, I still touched the car when I was in the driving school. I haven't touched the car for such a long time. I'm a little worried..."

"There's nothing to worry about," Zhao said with a smile, "This car also has a semi-automatic transmission. Girl, if you are worried about manual transmission, then let's buy a semi-automatic transmission. It will cost you a few thousand dollars more. about money."

"Semi-automatic transmission?" Miss Xiao Wang was a little surprised when she heard this, "What is this?"

"Here...isn't it written here?" Sister Zhao pointed to the introduction in the newspaper and said to her precious daughter: "Semi-automatic transmission means that the car automatically coordinates the oil and clutch for you. You just need to put it in gear...People say Now, with semi-automatic transmission, you never have to worry about the poor coordination of the accelerator and clutch when starting, which will cause the engine to stall, because this coordination is done for you by the car computer."

"This is good, this is good." After reading the introduction about semi-automatic transmission in the newspaper, Miss Xiao Wang immediately smiled: "Mom, let me tell you, when I was learning to drive, the most painful thing was starting and starting on a half slope. Turn off the engine if it's not good, and with this semi-automatic transmission, I don't have to worry about starting anymore."

"Well, since you think the car is parked well, girl, let's go and see the car when you rest."

Where can Miss Wang wait until she rests?Hastily said: "When are you waiting for a rest? I will ask our leader to take a leave of absence. Let's go tomorrow morning."

"This..." Sister Zhao hesitated for a moment, then turned to look at her husband: "I'm easy to say, what about you, Old Wang?"

"I..." Lao Wang, who originally wanted to say "Can't we go again on the weekend?" saw the expectant expression on his daughter's face, and the words on his lips changed to: "Of course I'm fine, Let's go tomorrow then."

"Dad, you are so kind!"

With her father's permission, Miss Xiao Wang's face was as bright as a flower, as if she had seen her happy life after owning a car.

………………

In the early morning of the next day, the three members of the Wang family specially hired a car and went straight to the local Auto Trade City, and then found the local dealer of Huateng Qinchuan QQ according to the specific address provided in the advertisement.

Looking at the prototype car in front of her, Miss Xiao Wang's eyes were full of surprises, she held her mother's arm and said happily, "Damn, this car looks much better than the ones in the newspapers, and it's not small at all."

"It looks much better than the newspaper." Sister Zhao also nodded in satisfaction and said, "This style is just right for a little girl like you."

"Uh-huh……"

Miss Xiao Wang nodded again and again, and she felt the same way, thinking that this car was a perfect match for an unmarried girl of her own age.

After negotiating with the salesperson and taking a test drive in person, Ms. Xiao Wang finally ordered the semi-automatic deluxe version, which is a mid-range model equipped with an automatic transmission. Compared with the minimum configuration of 3, this configuration not only has The version of the automatic transmission that Miss Xiao Wang couldn't put it down after trying it, also has more configurations such as electric windows, electric adjustable rearview mirrors, and on-board tape machines. It’s Lao Wang and Sister Zhao who think the extra 9800 yuan is really worth it!

After listening to the sales recommendation, Lao Wang also decided to spend an additional 1000 yuan to install a reversing radar system for his daughter-the bad habit of adding it is already there.

Because they came here today to buy a car, Lao Wang and Sister Zhao brought their bank cards directly. After swiping the card, printing out the arrival card, and the salesman handed over the key to him in person, they looked at the car in front of them. Huateng Qinchuan QQ painted in apple green, and the excited little Wang girl with a flushed face is still a little dazed: From now on, I am also a car owner?

------------

Different from Xiao Wang, who has been supported by his parents, Xiao Liu, who has been working for several years, after seeing the advertisement and introduction of Huateng Qinchuan QQ in the newspaper today, this is what he told his lover...

"Daughter-in-law, let me discuss something with you..."

Hearing her husband's low-pitched tone, Xiao Liu's lover, Xiao Ma, immediately became vigilant: "What are you doing?"

"Hey...that's what I thought, let's buy a car?"

"Buy a car?" Xiao Ma didn't expect her husband to come up with such an unrealistic idea, and immediately gave him an annoyed sideways glance: "What do you think? A Xiali is 10 less, don't buy it!"

Xiao Liu, who had expected his lover's reaction, hurriedly collected the money and said with a flattering smile: "Daughter-in-law, don't worry, I don't know how much money our family has. We can definitely afford the car I'm talking about." .”

"Surely you can afford it?" Xiao Ma heard the words and looked at his lover suspiciously: "Could it be that you are going to buy an Alto? Let me tell you, if you are going to buy an Alto, then you should die as soon as possible." , Such an ugly car, I can’t agree with anything!”

A considerable part of the taxis in the city where the young couple lived were Altos, and Xiao Ma, who had taken Alto taxis a few times, really didn't like this car. Not to mention the small size of the car, it was also ugly!
The most important thing is that there is no air conditioning!
There is no air conditioner in summer, isn't that fatal?

"Of course it's not Alto, and I don't like the car of Alto," Xiao Liu said while busy handing the newspaper with the Huateng Qinchuan QQ advertisement to his lover, and said, "Look, This is the car, Huateng Qinchuan QQ, wife, what do you think of this car?"

"Huateng Qinchuan QQ?" Looking at the small car with a pair of round, cute big eyes in the picture, Xiao Ma's frown eased a lot: "This car is quite beautiful... Um, '3, Huateng Qinchuan QQ to take home'? This small car only needs 9800? By the way, what is the relationship between this Huateng Qinchuan QQ and Huateng Automobile?"

In order to convince his lover, Xiao Liu still did a lot of homework. Now hearing what his lover said, he said: "Daughter-in-law, I have thought about it. This 3 should be the lowest allocation. It’s too shabby, the kind that doesn’t matter what you want, maybe you don’t even have an air conditioner, but it doesn’t matter, since the minimum configuration is only 9800, then the configuration above is only in the early 3.”

"Well..." Xiao Ma thought for a while, then nodded: "From what you said, it seems to be the same..."

"Really? Hehe..." Xiao Liu laughed twice, and then said: "As for the relationship between this Huateng Qinchuan QQ and Huateng Automobile, I am not very clear, but let's go to see the car another day When you ask the salesman, you will know? But I reckon, it must have something to do with Huateng Automobile."

"It's also..."

Xiao Ma was somewhat persuaded by her husband, and couldn't help but ponder.

Seeing his lover's appearance, Xiao Liu knew that she was moved, so he made persistent efforts and said, "My wife, I think so. The unit has already allocated a house to us, which means that our family has not had any big expenses in recent years. , so from an economic point of view, we can afford to keep a car. With a car, we don’t have to be so embarrassed when it’s cloudy and rainy, and we don’t have to wait for a taxi for half a day on the side of the road;

Another one, the child is about to enter the kindergarten. If there is a car, it is convenient to pick up and drop off the child...Look at the gates of those kindergartens, there are more and more parents with cars now. We have a car, not only to pick up and drop off the children It's convenient, but also face-saving, isn't it?

Also, both of us are from the countryside, our parents and relatives are all in the countryside,
At the beginning of the year, I was assigned a house. Although the house has not been handed over yet, at most we will have a car next year. It will be convenient for us to take the children back to see the elderly during the holidays. We can easily drive the car and listen to music all the way. I'm home now, and I don't have to rush the car with big bags and small bags like before, and worry about the delay..."

What Xiao Liu said, Xiao Ma actually didn't care about most of it, but hearing her husband talk about going back to his hometown during the holidays, it seemed to hit Xiao Ma's heart all of a sudden: Yes, if there is a car, during the holidays It's so convenient to go back home.

Just like what my husband said, every time I went back to my hometown during the holidays in the past, there were always a lot of bags and bags, and I was afraid that I would leave things when I changed cars, not to mention having to take care of the children on the way, worrying about the children halfway. What should I do if I wanted to go to the toilet on the road but didn’t reach the service area, and the driver refused to stop?I was even more worried when I walked halfway and suddenly remembered that I didn't bring something with me. At that time, the anxious couple would inevitably quarrel...

But if you have a car at home, even if it’s just a small car like this, it will be much more convenient at that time. Once you put your things in the car, it’s loose, and you can listen to songs along the way and go directly to the door of your parents in your hometown; If you want to go to the bathroom on the road, the big deal is to prepare two extra plastic bags in the car; even if you are halfway along the road and remember that you haven’t brought something, it’s just a matter of heading home and picking it up...

Thinking of this, Xiao Ma finally stopped hesitating, nodded and said: "That's it, let's go to the Auto Trade City on the weekend to have a look."

"Okay!" Xiao Liu, who finally got his wife's permission, hugged her and kissed her twice: "Daughter-in-law, you are so kind..."

........................

On the weekend, Xiao Liu and his wife took their children to the dealership of Huateng Qinchuan QQ located in the Auto Trade City of this city. I am very satisfied with the level and basic configuration: Although the car is not big, it is quite spacious for a family to sit in, especially in the front row. My husband and wife do not feel cramped at all when sitting in it. Although the space in the back row is a bit tight, But after sitting in front of my husband and wife, my husband and wife can still sit comfortably with their children in the back, the space is indeed enough;

Although the configuration is not high, it has all the configurations that a car should have, such as air conditioner and heater. Even my husband said that even the Jetta in their unit does not have ABS as standard, but this Huateng Qinchuan QQ is fully It is equipped with ABS brake anti-lock braking system, hydraulic power steering system and air conditioning as standard. From this perspective, Huateng Group is no longer a matter of conscience, it simply cannot be more conscientious...

In the end, after repeated comparisons, the couple finally chose the lowest matching version.That is, the manual standard model priced at 39800.

The reason why I didn’t choose the semi-automatic standard model of 42800, or any other version, is because Xiao Liu and his wife came from the countryside after all, and they were used to living a hard life when they were young. Even though the economic conditions are much better now, some habits of thinking are still There is no way to easily change:

For example, the electrically adjustable rearview mirror, the couple feel that Xiao Liu is the only one who has a driver's license at home, and the rearview mirror does not need to be moved for a year after it is adjusted. In this way, the electrically adjustable rearview mirror is not very meaningful. ;
Another example is electric windows. Of course it is good to have this thing, but it seems that there is nothing wrong with hand cranking. Isn’t it just a matter of effort, and this configuration can save thousands of dollars;

As for the semi-automatic gearbox, both of them tried it, and it was really good, but Xiao Liu often drove the car of his work unit to go out for errands, and his driving skills were considered good, so naturally there was no need to choose a semi-automatic gearbox...

In the end, after comprehensive weighing and consideration, the couple chose the cheapest lemon yellow manual standard model, which totaled more than 46000 yuan including purchase tax and insurance.

However, the couple still did not escape the clutches of "recommended installation". Finally, after repeated bargaining with the salesman, they chose a set of reversing sensors at a price of 900 yuan.

Like Miss Xiao Wang, Xiao Liu and his wife also drove home in a car with a Lin plate. On the way home, they heard their daughter's happy cheers of "Oh, oh, our family also has a car" , Xiao Ma, who was sitting in the co-pilot, had a smile on his face unconsciously: Indeed, it feels so good and so happy to have a car...

------------

Compared with countless ordinary people like the old Wang family and Xiao Liu couple who feel that their lives are extraordinarily happy because of a car, the leaders of Shaanxi Province have been extraordinarily anxious in the past month.

Although I feel that this Qinchuan QQ is indeed much more majestic and better-looking than the previous Alto, it may be that there have been too many stumbles before. The Shaanxi Province is still cautious about the sales of Qinchuan QQ, but it is very Hurry up, when the first month's sales report came, everyone in Shaanxi Province became excited: with the help of Huateng Industrial Group's existing sales channels, in the first month of its launch, Huateng Qinchuan QQ sold a total of 2236 vehicles!
Following the sales data is the number of orders: while achieving sales of 2236 vehicles in the first month of launch, it also received a total of 1724 follow-up orders!

Over 2200 sold in the first month? !
When the news came, Shaanxi Province was in a state of excitement!

The sales of Huateng Qinchuan QQ have exceeded everyone’s expectations and imaginations. If the sales volume and subsequent additional orders are counted together, it is also true that Huateng Qinchuan QQ sold 3960 vehicles in the first month. Not impossible.

At this moment, it can be said that Qinchuan QQ has succeeded.

Is it so easy to succeed?
For a while, all the people in Shaanxi Province felt unreal: When we produced Alto, it was really difficult to make money. How come it is so easy to make money in the hands of Huateng Industrial Group?
