Manufacturing Empire in the Valley

Chapter 824 Getting a Driver's License
George thought for a while, and then replied: "The trial production and testing work will take about 20 days. During this period, I will submit a price report to the company's senior management and let them discuss it first. After the test results come out, it depends on how they make a decision." , the time spent may add up to about a month."

Kailinna let out an oh and stopped talking, concentrating on driving.After sending George away, the two found a place to have lunch, and then Niu Xiaoqiang called the local Motor Vehicle Driving Administration to inquire about the driver's license test.

Niu Xiaoqiang plans to drive himself to purchase supercomputer spare parts. If he finds a special shipping company, the cost is a bit expensive and it is not worthwhile.

The industry, commerce and service industry in the United States are very developed, and the shipping company is the embodiment of this aspect.They can provide moving services for customers, and they can also specialize in shipping more expensive goods.

If it is moving, the price is basically calculated according to the distance and workload. Although the price is a bit high, Niu Xiaoqiang can afford it.

But if you transport expensive goods, such as spare parts for supercomputers, you need to go through insurance procedures and pay high transportation fees.

Niu Xiaoqiang did some calculations and thought it would be more economical to drive by himself.Then just rent a minivan, which is cheap and saves you thousands of dollars.

The person from the Motor Vehicle Driving Administration told Niu Xiaoqiang on the phone that he could take the written test in the afternoon.Niu Xiaoqiang didn't delay at all, and let Kai Linna send himself to the examination room.

There were no problems for Niu Xiaoqiang in the exam. There were a total of 3 test questions related to traffic regulations. Niu Xiaoqiang only took [-] minutes to complete all of them, and he could basically fill in the answers with a glance.When he went to hand in the paper, the examiner looked at him with astonished eyes, as if he couldn't believe it.

Niu Xiaoqiang saw that the examiner looked at him stupidly, so he couldn't help reminding: "Mr. Examiner, please check the result."

"Oh... oh, okay, just a moment, please."

The examiner checked against the standard answers and found that Niu Xiaoqiang answered all of them correctly. He looked at Niu Xiaoqiang again suspiciously.

Niu Xiaoqiang explained helplessly: "I am a student of MIT, and this simple question is not difficult for me."

The examiner originally suspected that Niu Xiaoqiang had cheated, but when he heard this, he let out another oh, and no longer had any doubts.

"Congratulations on passing the written part of the test. Next, you have two options. The first is to spend [-] dollars to apply for a temporary driver's license, which is valid for one year. You can drive on the road within this year, but you must sit next to you. Accompanied by someone with a driver's license."

Niu Xiaoqiang immediately rejected the first option and asked, "What is the second option?"

"The second option is that I will give you a certificate of passing the written test. This certificate is valid for 30 days. Within 30 days, you must make an appointment for the road test. Otherwise, if the certificate expires, you will need to take the written test again. "

Niu Xiaoqiang nodded: "I choose the second option. I don't know what items are mainly tested in the road test?"

"There are two items in the road test, the first is to reverse the car into the garage, and the second is to drive on the road."

"Can I make an appointment for the road test today?"

The examiner froze for a moment before nodding: "Okay, later you take the certificate of passing the written test and go to the window of the road test to go through the formalities, and the staff over there will arrange a time for you."

"Ok, thanks."

The examiner didn't speak, and directly printed a certificate for Niu Xiaoqiang to pass the written test. Niu Xiaoqiang took the certificate and walked to the appointment window for the road test. The examiner looked at his back and sighed secretly: MIT people are amazing. He hasn't handed in the paper yet, but he has already made an appointment for the road test.

"Hello, this is my certificate of passing the written test. I would like to make an appointment for the road test."

The staff in the window checked the certificate, then looked up and asked, "Are you ready for the road test?"

Niu Xiaoqiang nodded: "All preparations have been made."

"Oh, if you can provide the test car by yourself now, then you can take the road test this afternoon."

The road test in the United States requires the test personnel to provide their own vehicles. If you don't have one, you can rent one.

Niu Xiaoqiang laughed and said, "I have a car, please arrange it for me."

The staff member nodded, stopped asking, and issued an admission form to Niu Xiaoqiang: "Take this form and go to the second floor to find the invigilator. There is a sign on the door, so you can find it easily."

"Ok, thanks."

In less than 5 minutes, Niu Xiaoqiang followed a potbellied examiner downstairs.Kailinna was sitting in the car waiting for the news, and when she saw Niu Xiaoqiang coming out, she immediately understood what was going on, got out of the car and handed over the keys, and said with a smile: "I wish you a pass."

Niu Xiaoqiang smiled and said nothing, got into the car skillfully and started the engine.Seeing this, the invigilator pointed to the open space next to him: "Go over there first and reverse the car into the storage."

Niu Xiaoqiang agreed, drove to the examination area, and passed easily.

There was no problem in the next driving on the road. The invigilator signed the certification column in less than 10 minutes.

Half an hour later, Niu Xiaoqiang walked out of the administration gate with his freshly issued driver's license. Kailinna couldn't help laughing and said, "You are amazing. I spent a total of thirteen days before and after the driver's license test. It’s already relatively fast, but you’re lucky, it’s all done in less than an hour.”

Niu Xiaoqiang laughed and shook the driver's license in his hand: "This afternoon, I specially approve you to have a half-day holiday, and then I will take you to buy a car."

Karina hesitated, "Do you have money?"

According to the result of the discussion between the two, what Kailinna will buy is a sports car.The price of a sports car is not cheap, and a slightly higher-end one costs more than [-] US dollars.Karina only had thirty-five thousand dollars in her hand, and she knew that the company had no money in the accounts, so she asked this question.

Niu Xiaoqiang took out a bank card: "This is a Citibank silver card, do you think I have money?"

Karina also has a Citibank silver card, but it has been suspended by her mother.Seeing the silver card in Niu Xiaoqiang's hand, Kailinna asked in surprise, "You became a silver card member so soon?"

Niu Xiaoqiang opened the car door and greeted Kailinna to get in the car.After he sat down, he smiled and said, "I've already received the cost of buying a supercomputer from your father, which is a total of 350 million US dollars. Naturally, there is no problem in upgrading to a silver card member with such a large amount of money."

Kailinna was stunned for a moment before sighing: "You can get money no matter what you do, as if earning money is as simple as drinking water and eating for you."

Niu Xiaoqiang raised his eyebrows in disgust: "I can't help it, who told me to be better than others."
