My Courtyard Refuge

Dad Xu Buys a Car

“What, eighteen salesmen…”

“Dad, do you have so much business to run? Can you manage it? Also, can this small shop support so many people?”

Xu Dong smiled wryly and asked questions repeatedly.

Father Xu waved his hand, and said nonchalantly, “Don’t worry, these salesmen have very low basic salaries, and if they want to earn high salaries, they can only do business with their skills. We don’t support idlers in our store.”

“How much basic salary do you give them?” Xu Dong asked curiously.

“500 yuan per month, three days of training, and then go to work directly, and leave if you can’t get the order in a month.”

“So low!”

===Section 50===

Xu Dong was a little speechless. Now that the price of goods is so high, 500 yuan is not enough to even eat. If it is not for the high unemployment rate, if this condition can recruit people, it will be a ghost.

“I don’t care about it. I only care about performance here. If I want to get a high salary, I should work hard to run the business. Nothing else will work.”

Before he knew it, Father Xu began to have the “glamour” of a black-hearted capitalist.

“Dad, how much monthly water is there on your side?” Xu Dong asked tentatively.

The granddaughter was right next to her, and Dad Xu didn’t want to say it clearly, so he secretly shook his chin.

“One hundred thousand?” Xu Dong confirmed softly.

Dad Xu shook his head, and slowly spit out two words: “One million.”

Xu Dong couldn’t help but gasped.

Tut tut…

Unexpectedly, my father managed to make such a big business without making a sound.

The monthly turnover is 5 million, and that is 60 million a year.

This revenue is higher than that of many medium-sized companies, and it is definitely in the wind.

“What about the profit?” Xu Dong continued to ask.

“Because the employee’s commission is very high, they don’t earn much. Now it’s about 300,000 to 400,000 a month!” Dad Xu said “modestly”.

“It’s not too much. With this calculation, it makes sense to buy a car.” Xu Dong nodded.

Dad Xu took advantage of the opportunity to express his plan:

“Actually, I want to save more money and rent a bigger store at the end of the year. Now this store is really crowded.”

Xu Dong persuaded: “It’s enough for the store to be enough, if not, let’s rent a warehouse. I think it’s more urgent to buy a car.”

The housing reform is going to take place next year. If I rent a big store now, if it is a long-term lease, then it will be troublesome to talk about, so I might as well wait and see.

Finally, with Xu Dong’s strong support, Dad Xu finally made up his mind to buy a car.

…

The next day, which happened to be Sunday, Xu Dong accompanied his father to a well-known second-hand car company in the suburbs, which is said to be one of the largest in Yanjing.

As for buying a new car, don’t even think about it.

At present, all major car companies are still recovering. Coupled with the global shortage of parts and components, the current production capacity is very limited.

“Welcome, are you here to buy a car?” Perhaps because of Daben’s face, the salesman seemed very enthusiastic.

Xu Dong nodded and asked, “Yes, do you have any newer second-hand cars here? It’s better to be a big brand car.”

Since it is used for appearance, of course the first choice is a brand-name car.

“Yes, both of you, please follow me, let’s choose a car on the spot.”

The salesman led the two of them through the back door, and a large yard of tens of thousands of square meters appeared in front of them. Hundreds of second-hand cars were neatly lined up in the middle of the yard, most of which were small cars.

“Are there any imported cars?” Dad Xu asked suddenly. As a short video controller, he is not ignorant of cars.

“Of course there is, please follow me.”

The three came to a white BMW, and the salesman introduced:

“The two of you came at the right time. We just repaired this BMW X5 yesterday. It is 70% new. I believe you can all guess the cause of the accident, so I don’t need to say more.”

“Sir, what do you think of this car?” Dad Xu asked his son.

Xu Dong was not very knowledgeable, so he asked a few common questions in a regular manner, and then asked about the price:

“How much is this car?”

“The price is 1.2 million, and our company also provides a three-year warranty service.”

When Dad Xu heard the priceGrid, backed out on the spot.

What a joke, he has only earned a total of more than one million in the past few months, and it is impossible to use all of it to buy a car.

Xu Dong also felt that the price was a bit inflated. If this car was placed last year, it would have cost 200,000 at most. Even if the price has skyrocketed now, it will not exceed one million.

“Is there a car worth around 500,000 yuan?” Dad Xu asked directly, throwing away his delusions.

The salesman was a little disappointed. With a budget of 500,000, he could only buy a mid-range car at most, and the commission was almost two-thirds less.

“There are Fengtian’s cars over there, I’ll take you to have a look.”

Dad Xu quickly took a fancy to a white Fengtian Crown Lufang. The car looks very stylish, but it is a bit old and almost 50% new.

Xu Dong drove the car around the yard, and found nothing wrong with it. Overall, he felt pretty good.

Seeing Xu Dong nodded in satisfaction, Father Xu immediately asked, “How much is this car?”

“530,000, but we only provide one-year warranty.” The salesman replied.

The price did not exceed Dad Xu’s psychological expectations, and the car model was also very suitable.

Father Xu is satisfied, and the next job is for Xu Dong to be in charge of counter-offering.

In short, the old nose strength was abolished, and the price was cut to 508,000 yuan.

“Mr. Xu, I think you also know that there is a severe shortage of cars in the market now. Our company’s cars don’t have to worry about selling at all, so the price really can’t be lowered.”

Dad Xu couldn’t wait to wink, Xu Dong then nodded and agreed:

“Okay, we want this car.”

The salesperson finally showed a smile, and it was rare for him to help with the calculation of transfer tax, insurance, and other messy miscellaneous expenses.

A small change of 800 yuan was erased in the middle.

In short, Dad Xu only needs to spend 550,000 yuan to drive these two Fengtian cars home.

Moreover, the second-hand car company will also assist in applying for a license plate, which can be registered within a week at the earliest.

Fortunately, Yanjing already had unlimited licenses a few months ago, otherwise the license issue would be even more troublesome than buying a car.

It took a whole morning to go through all the formalities, and Dad Xu finally got his first car in his life.

On the way home, Xu Dong suggested that Dad Xu could learn to get a driver’s license, but Dad Xu refused.

“I’m so old, it’s better to be steady, anyway, most of the people in the store have driver’s licenses, and there is no shortage of me, a bad old man.” Dad Xu is very open about driving.

“My mother is still waiting for you to take her for a ride!” Xu Dong joked.

“I’m getting old, your mother’s biggest wish is to hope that the whole family can be safe.”

This topic is a bit heavy.

In fact, many elderly people in Daxia have the same wish as Xu Ma, but in the next few years, this beautiful fantasy will be completely broken.
