In 1983, a small island started from a large farmer

Chapter 601 Forced Delivery of Car
Less than an hour and a half.

A horn sounded at the entrance of the shrimp farm, followed by a few dog barkings.

Li Duoyu hurried out and found Hei Nuo and "Shang'an" affectionately surrounding a very domineering car.

After Li Duoyu came, Hei Nuo and Shang An immediately shook their heads and came to his owner's side, because they heard Hei Nuo barking twice just now.

"Stop barking, get out of the way." Li Duoyu glared at it, then said to the gatekeeper, Old Xu: "Next time when a car comes, don't let these dogs get close."

"I understand, boss."

Perhaps sensing that her master was angry, Hei Nuo drooped her ears in grievance and then left.

It followed its mother ashore and ran away happily. Since the last typhoon, Li Duoyu had asked Hei Nu and her puppies to come to the shrimp farm.

These dogs are used to guard the house, so they will be more excited when they smell unfamiliar smells, and may even bark.

Under normal circumstances, if there were guests coming, Li Duoyu would have someone take the dog away first, but Li Duoyu did not expect Manager Zhu to come so quickly.

Isn't it said that women are slow to go out? How could he be so fast? Normally, it would take at least an hour and a half to drive from Rongcheng to his place, but it was only an hour.

When the car arrived at the shrimp farm, many workers put down their work and looked at it curiously.

They often see ships, but this kind of car is the first time for many of them to see it, and everyone noticed that this car is very high-end at first glance.

After Hei Nuo and the others left, Zhu Sulan slowly opened the car door and got out. She was really scared just now.

Li Duoyu stepped forward quickly and said, "You must be scared. I'm so sorry. I forgot to lock up the dog just now."

Zhu Sulan smiled and said, "It's okay."

Li Duoyu had met Manager Zhu several times. It seemed that he came here after Chen Yuansu completed the Rongcheng Distribution Joint Company. His position was assistant to the general manager.

It is said that he used to work in a state-owned enterprise, but later for some unknown reason, he came to Chen Yuansu and became her assistant.

Although her appearance is not as stunning as Chen Yuansu, she is more approachable. If I have to describe her, this kind of person is definitely the king of the blind date corner and the type of daughter-in-law that aunties love most.

After Zhu Sulan got out of the car, she opened the trunk directly, took out two bags of things, and handed them to Li Duoyu.

"Mr. Chen asked me to bring some tea to you. This tea is a collaboration between us and a tea factory in Wuyi Mountain. It was made by a master craftsman."

The other party handed it over, so Li Duoyu had to take it first: "Mr. Chen is really too polite, next time just come directly, no need to bring anything."

Zhu Sulan smiled and said, "That's not what I meant. With my salary, I can't afford the Da Hong Pao produced in Jiulong Ke."

After hearing that it was Jiulongke's Dahongpao, Li Duoyu couldn't help but look at the two bags of tea in his hand.

In fact, there are really not many people who understand tea nowadays. The few Dahongpao trees on the rock wall of Jiulongke are directly offered as tribute after being picked every year, and ordinary people have no way of touching them at all.

Looking at the wooden box in the bag, if Li Duoyu guessed correctly, this should be the second generation of Dahongpao, and the price is definitely not cheap.

After receiving such a valuable gift, Li Duoyu glanced at Manager Zhu and found that her bangs were wet from the heat, so she quickly said:

"It's too hot outside. Let's go sit inside the factory for a while."

Zhu Sulan was really hot, mainly because she was wearing a professional suit. She thought it would be cooler after reaching the beach.

But she didn't expect that the sea breeze was not only hot, but also sticky, making her sweat all over.

She could clearly feel that her armpits were wet, and the middle of the two round spots was also wet. After all, the most material was used there, so the temperature was naturally the highest.

But she had more urgent things to do now, so she could still endure this bit of heat and introduced the car directly to Director Li in person.

"Director Li, I think we can take a look at the car first. The car in our company is really new. It was bought from abroad by CEO Chen Jiao two years ago. All the parts are imported."

Li Duoyu was a little surprised. If she didn't know Manager Zhu well, she would have mistaken her for a car salesman.

Li Duoyu really likes this black Crown in front of him. A man may not be interested in women, but if he is not interested in both women and cars, that would be a big problem.

Even for someone who has lived two lives, it is difficult for him to avoid this kind of thing. However, Li Duoyu thought about it again and again and said, "It is really not suitable. For people like us who are engaged in breeding, agricultural vehicles are more convenient."

Zhu Sulan seemed to have known what Li Duoyu would say, and smiled and said, "Director Li, you are in the foreign trade business, and many foreign guests are rich people. You can't drive a farm vehicle to pick them up, right?
In the future, when your shrimp farm becomes bigger, there will definitely be a lot of customers coming to your shrimp farm. When the time comes, you can drive this car to pick them up, and your business will definitely be very good."

Li Duoyu couldn't help but nodded, because what Manager Zhu said was all right. She even thought of many details that he hadn't thought of. As expected of an assistant, she was quite thoughtful.

Li Duoyu feels that this imported Crown model is good in every way except that the price is not very friendly.

This car was not bought by Chen Yuansu, but Chen Jiao. He definitely did not buy it through formal channels, because if he bought it through formal channels, few people could afford it.

If I remember correctly, in this era, if this Crown is purchased through legal channels, the landing price is about 600,000 yuan.

Considering the current domestic economy, unless you are a real big shot, few people would be willing to spend money to buy it.

However, there are always more solutions than problems. In Fujian and Guangdong provinces, when it is late at night, some docks are full of wild imported luxury cars.

Li Duoyu also learned about it when he was shipping the goods. A brand new fifth-generation Crown would cost about 250,000 yuan if shipped to land.

Even if this car is second-hand, it is not very cheap. I like it, but I really don't have the money to buy it.

"Why don't we sign the contract first? We can talk about the car next time. There's no need to rush."

Seeing that Li Duoyu still refused, Zhu Sulan was really helpless. Since I said I would sell it to you at a low price, it must be very cheap. You should at least ask me the price.

Zhu Sulan also wanted to quote the price directly, but she couldn't do that because once the price was quoted, the two parties would really enter into a trading relationship.

But she had other plans. Zhu Sulan rummaged through the small briefcase she carried with her, but after a while, she looked panic-stricken.

"Mr. Li, I'm really sorry. I was in such a hurry when I left that I forgot to bring the contract."

Master Chen, who was in charge of driving this time, couldn't stand it anymore. You brought a useless contract and you didn't even bring the official seal.

I was only halfway in the toilet when you hurriedly called me away, and you kept urging me to drive faster.

After hearing this, Li Duoyu really didn't know what to say. This was not like Manager Zhu's style at all.

It is obviously unlikely for someone who works as an assistant to go out without a contract. Li Duoyu believed that re-signing the contract was just a cover, and the real purpose was to sell him the car.

But Li Duoyu really couldn't understand for a moment why they had to sell the car to him.

"Manager Zhu, I think you can sell this car to someone else. How about I introduce you to Lin Akuan from Tsinghua Sugar Factory. He would probably want it very much." Zhu Sulan really didn't know what to say. She also wanted to come clean and say that it was Mr. Chen who felt sorry for her and insisted that she sell the car to her.

But you can’t say this.

Once she said it, she could just pack up and leave.

Although Ms. Chen said that, she was very clear that she did not have the right to set the price. The only thing she could do was to hand the car over to Director Li no matter what.

"No, I just think that our two companies have a good relationship, and this car happens to be useless. Instead of selling it cheaply to another company, it's better to give it to you, Director Li."

After hearing what she said, Li Duoyu suddenly felt that there was a little truth in it, but he still said:

"I really like this car. We are old acquaintances. Let me tell you the truth. This year, I have invested a lot in this shrimp farm. I really don't have the budget to buy another car."

Zhu Sulan finally breathed a sigh of relief, her saliva almost dried up. Finally, there was some progress. Director Li was really too cautious.

"That's easy. We're not in a hurry to get the money. I'll leave the car with you and you can drive it first. If you think it's appropriate, you can use the payment instead of cash."

Li Duoyu was really confused and really wanted to complain: If you are not in a hurry for money, then what exactly do you want?

The relationship between the two companies is good, but it's not that good. Manager Zhu's positive attitude makes Li Duoyu feel more and more that something is wrong.

In transactions between businessmen, money is the simplest thing, but once the other party doesn't want money, you have to be vigilant.

Li Duoyu frowned and thought for a while. All he could think of was that something might have happened to Chen Yuansu and he needed his help.

She just happened to know that he needed a car like this, so she sold it to him half-sold it and half-gave it to him in this way. If she accepted it, it would be like owing her a favor.

In the business world, favors are the hardest to repay. If she really asks for favor, I would be embarrassed to refuse.

However, Li Duoyu is thick-skinned enough. He has experienced a lot in his previous life, so he will still push it away when he should.

What really made Li Duoyu curious was that with Chen Yuansu's network of relationships, who needed his help?

To put it bluntly, my relationship with the big boss might not be as strong as hers.

In fact, they all live in the same community, and her grandfather’s actual rank is no lower than that of the big leader.

On the surface, they seem like strangers, but privately they might be the kind of person who can call each other uncle.

Li Duoyu said firmly: "I will accept this tea, but Manager Zhu should drive the car back."

But what Li Duoyu didn't expect was that Manager Zhu actually put the car keys directly in his hand and said with a wry smile:

"Director Li, how about this? I'll leave the car with you for a month or two. If you really don't need it, I'll come and take it away. What do you think?"

After handing the car keys to Li Duoyu, Zhu Sulan immediately implemented her second plan, turned around and ran, saying:
"I'll leave the car here with you. I have something to do at the Rongcheng Aquatic Products Processing Factory. We'll leave first."

Li Duoyu became more and more confused as he got older. He discovered that Zhu Sulan actually walked away directly. It took at least half an hour to walk from Qixing Bay to the nearest intersection.

Moreover, it is particularly difficult to wait for the buses on the road. There are only two trips a day, and you have to go to Xia Gong Village to wait for the bus.

Li Duoyu was really confused. After picking up the key, he looked in the trunk of the car. Fortunately, there was nothing strange.

It is absolutely not Manager Zhu's personal intention to do this. Someone definitely asked her to do this.

Forget it, he would just accept the car for the time being. If Chen Yuansu really had difficulties later, he would be able to help within a controllable range.

If it is beyond his ability, Li Duoyu will not try to be a good guy. After all, his life is hard-earned and he does not want to get involved in weird things.

Li Duoyu drove the car and caught up with Manager Zhu who was walking: "It's not convenient to walk here, get in the car."

Zhu Sulan grinned. After hearing this, she knew that the matter was settled, so she opened the car door and sat in the back seat.

The driver, Master Chen, looked at Director Li who was sitting in the main driver's seat. He could only sit in the passenger seat and laughed, "Director Li, do you have a driver's license?"

Li Duoyu replied: "Not yet."

"Have you ever learned to drive this kind of car before?"

“I’ve learned a little, but I haven’t taken the exam yet.”

Hearing this, the driver Chen Xianhe couldn't help wiping the sweat from his forehead. This kind of country road is okay, after all, there are not many cars, but it is different on the main road.

"Director Li, you still need a driver's license to drive. If you don't have a driver's license, why don't you let me drive instead?"

After he reminded him, Li Duoyu remembered that in this era, one needs a driving test to drive a tractor, and the test is particularly difficult.

There is no such institution as driving school now. If you want to get a license, you must have a letter of introduction from your unit before you can apply to the vehicle management office.

After completing the application, the vehicle management office will give you a thick book called "Automobile Maintenance Technology" and some books such as "Traffic Regulations".

In short, if you want to get a driver's license in this era, you not only have to be able to drive, but also have to be able to repair. Even if you pass the test, what you get is not a driver's license, but a trainee certificate.

If you want to drive a car with a master, you need to do odd jobs for the master for free. Finally, you can exchange your internship certificate for a driver's license after the master signs.

It can be said that in this era, if you have a driver's license, your life is basically stable and you don't have to worry about finding a wife at all.

But it’s not impossible not to take the test, especially in some rural areas. There are really no hard and fast rules. As long as you don’t get caught, it’s fine.

Li Duoyu felt that even a newly employed young man would not dare to check and impose fines on a Crown car like this one.

After hearing this, Zhu Sulan really wanted to pick up her bag and beat this bastard to death. She had finally tricked Director Li into giving the car to him.

If Director Li thinks that I can't drive without a license, then how can I complete my mission?

But what surprised Chen Xianhe next was that after Li Duoyu started the car, he performed it so smoothly that he was stunned.

This person not only knows how to drive, but also seems to be very good at it. He even controls the clutch very clearly and operates like an experienced driver.

Zhu Sulan smiled and said, "Master Chen, how could such an outstanding person like Director Li not be able to drive? He just doesn't have the time to get a driver's license."

Li Duoyu suddenly felt that this girl, Manager Zhu, was really interesting. It was quite comforting to hear her flattering him. No wonder bosses like subordinates who flatter them.

She was right. I really didn't have time to verify it.
