The Age of Rebirth

Chapter 487 Two Oils

As soon as Li Weidong's car stopped, someone from Skoda's showroom pushed the door out. After seeing Li Weidong and his party got off the car, they walked faster.

The young waitress was wearing a small down vest with Skoda's logo on it. She didn't seem to feel the cold. She ran over and greeted warmly, "Would you like to see the car? Do you have any expectations?"

"It's okay to come here for a stroll, can I go in?" Li Weidong asked intentionally, paying attention to the name on the girl's badge, Zhang Yi, out of the corner of his eyes.

"As you said, it doesn't matter whether you buy or not. Our exhibition hall is not all for selling cars. Brand promotion is also our main purpose. Brother, please come inside!" Zhang Yi's mouth was very sweet, and her brother and sister had already called up.

Of course, it doesn't rule out that the little girl sees that Li Weidong drives a very good car, the Mercedes-Benz E-Class, at least hundreds of thousands, can it be short of money?
Of course, it is also possible that people have recognized Li Weidong and are watching people order food.

Li Weidong entered the exhibition hall. There were not too many people inside. After all, the Chinese New Year was just around the corner, and it was the Lantern Festival, which was an off-season for car sales. Who would come out to buy a car at this time? If they wanted to buy a car, they would have bought it years ago.

So after a few of them came in, the popularity in the exhibition hall increased by a quarter, and also made the busy salesmen in the exhibition hall look at them.

Among them, a slightly older salesman who looked like a small head saw Li Weidong's face, his eyes narrowed slightly, and he seemed to recognize him.

While no one was paying attention, the little boss returned to his work station and found a newspaper clip. This was a news report when the leader inspected Qizhou Skoda last year. There was a photo on it, and there was a profile of Li Weidong in it. .

The little boss put down the newspaper clips, tapped his fingers on the table regularly, and checked again and again. He should not admit his mistake. Although Li Weidong's photos did not show much, it was not without them. He still had some impressions.

Although he didn't know why this big boss came, he couldn't just do nothing. After thinking about it, he still took the clip, walked quickly to the second floor, and rang the office of the general manager who was several levels above him.

Three minutes later, the general manager walked out of the office, walked down the stairs quickly, glanced at Li Weidong who was looking at the sample car from a distance, and after confirming, he quietly walked out through the side door of the exhibition hall.

Not long after he went out, he saw a car parked next to Li Weidong's car. Zheng Yang got out of the car, glanced at the license plate number, and then looked up at the surroundings, as if he was looking for something.

"President Zheng, it should be Chairman Li, who is looking at the car inside, but I haven't seen a real person, so I'm not sure!" The general manager smiled obsequiously.

Zheng Yang ignored him, but walked towards a car not far away. He had already recognized that it was one of the many cars parked in front of Li Weidong's house, and the car not far away was another.

Before Zheng Yang walked to the car, he saw a young man getting off from the car, and smiled at Zheng Yang, everyone had noticed him, if he didn't come down, it was his fault!
"Mr. Zheng!" Xiao Wang said with a smile. He knew Zheng Yang. Although he was not familiar with him, he could still call him by name.

It is necessary for Li Weidong's security team to know these subordinates, and they have to take turns watching the gate at the street entrance, in charge of everyone's entry and exit. They basically know Li Weidong's acquaintances, and it is not unusual to recognize Zheng Yang.

"Xiao Wang, the chairman is here, and you don't even tell me, it's too embarrassing!" Zheng Yang walked over and said to Xiao Wang with a smile. Zheng Yang is Li Weidong's subordinate, and he treats people around Li Weidong more Familiarity, this is mainly due to the relatively small changes around Li Weidong, and the newcomers are more cautious.

"Mr. Zheng, you know we have discipline!" Xiao Wang explained with a smile.

"I know, I know!" Zheng Yang said with a smile, then turned to the general manager of the store and said, "Boss Niu, bring some hot drinks to the brothers!" Then he said to Xiao Wang, "When you get here, you can rest assured, I went first!"

"Thank you, Mr. Zheng!" Xiao Wang was not polite, but he was not enthusiastic either. It has always been their job requirement to keep a sense of proportion.

As for whether they are at ease or not, it has nothing to do with where they are. Their hearts are where the boss is. Now that the boss is looking at the car inside, there are naturally people in the showroom following him all the time.

Zheng Yang waved his hand to get Boss Niu and the others out of the way, but he glanced at the little sales leader wearing a Skoda log vest standing next to him, pondered for a moment and pointed at him, motioning for him to follow in case of emergency.

This made Boss Niu very envious. This was a good opportunity to meet a big man, so he missed it. He looked at the little boss with some envy, but Zheng was always his boss, so he didn't dare to refute, so he hurriedly prepared a hot drink up.

Zheng Yang tidied up his clothes, walked into the exhibition hall, and saw Li Weidong and Li Weihong commenting on the car, and the waiter next to him explained in a timely manner, and the scene was quite harmonious.

When Li Weidong saw Zheng Yang coming in, he just glanced at it and didn't take it seriously. Zheng Yang walked over with a smile, and first greeted Liu Jinhui, "Hi sister-in-law!"

"Xiao Zheng, I haven't seen you for a long time. I heard that your daughter-in-law is about to give birth. Is it a son?" Liu Jinhui smiled when she saw Zheng Yang approaching, and a woman's gossip does not follow her status. And somewhat alleviated.

They were considered colleagues. When Li Weidong was doing machine repairs, Liu Jinhui was the weekend accountant, and Zheng Yang and the others were all shareholders. They had worked together for a long time, so they were relatively familiar with each other, and they didn't have any scruples about it.

"Oh, I made you laugh, it should be the first month, the third child, and the due date is not sure yet!" Zheng Yang smiled embarrassedly.

The strange thing about his wife's insistence on giving birth to a son has become famous in their circle, and now that she is finally going to give birth to a son, it has been spread a long time ago, and in order to raise the baby, she went to the hospital after the new year, and there was even more trouble. A lot of jokes.

"Congratulations, don't forget to tell me to drink the full moon wine!" Liu Jinhui congratulated, the two of their children were born with a kind heart, and now it's their turn to reciprocate.

"It's an honor, and I have to invite you and my brother to make a good appearance!" Zheng Yang hurriedly hit the snake on the pole and made a deal.

Zheng Yang looked at Liu Jinhui's smiling face and the children surrounded by him happily, and he also sighed. Li Ge really didn't say anything to his wife and children, and he was an absolute model husband.

Of course, there are some regrets. If he had introduced his sister to Li Weidong with all his strength when they first met, maybe it would be his sister who is standing here now.

Thinking of this, Zheng Yang quickly shook his head and put this unrealistic thought behind him. How could Brother Li fall in love with his sister? Although Zheng Yang thought his sister was very good, there was still a gap compared to Liu Jinhui.

The old people they came from the machinery factory all knew Liu Jinhui. Now Li Weidong is getting more and more unpredictable. Sometimes he doesn't like to talk to people when he has a bad temper, but Liu Jinhui has always been nice to them.

Moreover, Liu Jinhui is also responsible for auditing their financial problems, which can be regarded as a sword hanging over their heads. The role of this sword is more to protect and love, rather than to chop it off at any time and make a blood sacrifice.

Zheng Yang hurriedly greeted Li Weidong again, "Brother, I will send you the car you want directly, why don't I trouble you to make a trip, why don't we go to the import car dealer over there and have a look?"

Based on Zheng Yang's understanding of Li Weidong, he probably came here to inspect the condition of his own car. If he bought a car, he would definitely have to import it.

And they have almost most of the cars of imported brands. Even if they don't have existing cars, they can import them from abroad in a short period of time. After all, they have a small number of car import and export licenses.

At this time, the waiter who introduced the car model was a little numb. She must know the general manager of the Motor City, but coming here is almost groveling. This is a great god!

Of course, after hearing Zheng Yang's words, she also knew that today's order is probably gone. Although Skoda is good, there is still a big gap compared with imported cars. If you have the strength, you must buy an imported car!

"Who said I bought an imported car?" Li Weidong gave Zheng Yang a white look, and then said to Li Weihong: "If you are sure of this model, go for a test drive and see how it feels?"

After hearing this, the little girl next to her glanced at the big bosses and their leaders next to her, and said boldly, "Sister, we happen to have a test drive car of the model you are looking for, so it's parked outside, why don't you go?" Give it a try?"

Based on her experience, if you buy a car this year, as long as it is a test drive, the probability of deciding on it is [-]% to [-]%.

Taste it before you buy it. If it tastes bad, you don’t need money. In the end, there is a high probability that you will buy something as long as it is not too bad!
"That's right, go and try it out, drive it out and feel it, after all, you will drive it frequently in the future!" Zheng Yang also said with a smile.

Li Weihong didn't hesitate, and happily followed the salesperson out for a test drive. This was the first car she bought herself, and she had to satisfy herself.

Li Weidong looked at the people around him intentionally or unintentionally looking here, feeling a little uncomfortable, this is obviously not the place for him to stay.

"There is no rest room?" Li Weidong stood up and walked around, looked around, did not find the rest room, and asked suspiciously.

"Yes, yes, it's on the second floor, I'll take you up there!" Zheng Yang said hastily. The tradition of the rest room existed when they were doing machine repairs. Now that they have opened a 4S shop, it can only get better and better.

"There is no guide sign, who knows where it is!" Li Weidong said dissatisfied.

"We must correct it, and find someone to fix it in a while, and put up guide signs here, and all the exhibition halls!" Zheng Yang replied embarrassingly.

There are more than a dozen 4S stores in their Auto City. The layout of each store is standardized, and the door is also marked, but there are no arrows on the ground to guide them, and there is no time when they can’t find the place. It’s just a little slower.

But Li Weidong brought it up, which means that their work is not in place, and they have to do it even if there is nothing wrong with it.

Zheng Yang saw that there were a few people scattered in the lounge, and it was not suitable for a big guy like Li Weidong to appear, so he led Li Weidong to the meeting room next to it, which was considered a relatively private space.

Li Weidong sat on the main seat in the conference room, crossed his legs, and asked casually, "Where is the sound of the rain, isn't it here?"

"Oh, Mr. He went to talk about the acquisition of the gas station. He just left for a while, and the meeting probably hasn't arrived yet!" Zheng Yang replied.

While talking, he poured a glass of water for Li Weidong and Liu Jinhui each, and asked someone to bring some snacks for the two children. As for tea and coffee, he didn't dare to show his shame at all.

The tea leaves are ordinary green teas in the province. Although they don't cost more than a dozen yuan a catty in the market, they are not much better. Even if you gargle Li Weidong, you will find it unpalatable.

Coffee is brewed, not ground. It’s okay to fool some ignorant people. It’s obviously not good to serve the boss and the boss’s wife. Even if they don’t drink much, they have seen the world.

"Are you going to buy a gas station again?" Li Weidong put down his legs and asked with concern.

"It's not buying other people's gas stations, but they want to buy ours, but they have to let us come to the door. It's too big!" Zheng Yang found a seat and sat down, and said a little unhappy.

"Petrochemical or petroleum?" Li Weidong asked calmly, turning the cup slowly, as if talking about another irrelevant matter.

"The petrochemical company, since its establishment the year before last, has been frantically buying gas stations in prime locations. We have several gas stations in our hands that are located on the main road. The location is very good. We have already talked to us about the acquisition!"

"It's just that the shelf is too big. Just come to the door and tell how much to buy. It's like charity. The annual profit of our gas station accounts for almost one-third of the total profit. Who is willing to sell it!"

"We came a few times at the beginning, but we refused. After a while, I thought it was all right. I didn't expect to find someone to come forward this time, and let us talk!" Zheng Yang said, shaking his head helplessly.

Li Weidong didn't make a sound after hearing this, and frowned while thinking. In the past few years, private gas stations have sprung up like mushrooms after a rain. Almost [-]% to [-]% of the gas stations in the market are private enterprises.

Mechanic repair shops deal more with motor vehicles, and it is a good time to enter this industry. It provides one-stop service for refueling, car repair, and maintenance. When you come to refuel, you can also check the engine oil for free, inflate the tires, and wash the car. In short, service is paramount.

Ordinary large trucks run a lot, the car is also damaged, and there are often minor problems. It is not a waste of time to repair it when you come to refuel, so you are naturally used to coming to them to refuel.

Moreover, there are many cars sold in the Auto City every year. Most of the first tanks of gas are filled at their gas stations. When buying a new car, you can also buy discounted gas tickets.

At the beginning, Li Weidong didn't care about it, but he didn't expect them to have more and more gas stations. Now there are more than ten gas stations in the city, and there are almost dozens of them in the province relying on three automobile cities.

Although compared with the gas stations in the whole province, it is not even an ox hair, but it has also formed a scale. It has its own transportation and distribution fleet. After several years of development, it is similar to a hen laying eggs, and its income is very stable.

Now is the peak period of egg laying, and someone suddenly wants to buy your hen, and you can’t tell him how many eggs this hen can lay in the future.

Moreover, in the past two years, the waist of the two oil companies has been very thick, and various methods have been used, such as acquisitions, mergers, holdings, and equity participation, which have reduced the number of private gas stations on the market to less than [-]%, and it is getting more and more difficult.

If you don't sell it, it's not impossible, at least you have to have something to say. If you are deliberately targeted, with the status of the "two oils" at the source, you may have to use a trick, get stuck, and the only way to die.

But people have a big business, and they still care about Li Weidong's gas stations, if they don't sell them, they don't sell them.
"What do other shareholders mean?" Li Weidong thought for a while, but he had no idea.
