566: Small hammer
Previously, this shop didn't have a sign, but it had been under renovation for a while.
Rumor had it that it belonged to Feihuang Group, but whenever the renovation workers were asked, they wouldn't say what kind of shop it was.
Other stores would install their signs first, but this shop only installed its sign at the very end.
Who would have thought that this shop would turn out to be a Feihuang Automobile dealership? Exclusively selling cars!
A middle-aged man dressed in plain clothes, Hu Gaoqi, entered the Feihuang Automobile dealership with his girlfriend.
He was getting married. The woman wanted a house and a car. He had bought the house with a loan.
His girlfriend felt that since the house was bought on credit, the car absolutely could not be financed! But he didn't have much money left.
The renovation of the new house, combined with the monthly loan repayments, had long ago emptied his 'three wallets.'
After working himself to the bone all last year and scrimping and saving every day, he had finally managed to save up one hundred thousand yuan.
Buy a car with one hundred thousand? Although many cars were dropping in price now, his girlfriend would definitely look down on a car bought for one hundred thousand.
He was extremely anxious about this. He couldn't tell her the actual situation, either.
She wouldn't care how much money he had; she only wanted the car. If others had it, she had to have it too!
She wanted to show off in front of her best friend. Even if she couldn't show off, at the very least, she couldn't be a step below her friend.
Her friend drove a car worth over two hundred thousand yuan. It wasn't very luxurious, but he couldn't afford it. He had been worrying about this constantly.
Now that he saw the Feihuang Group automobile dealership had opened, he felt good about Feihuang Group.
The things Feihuang Group sold might sometimes be expensive, but the price-to-performance ratio was always high.
Feihuang Group didn't sell junk products. No matter how cheap they were, they were guaranteed to be good.
Upon entering the Feihuang Automobile dealership, his girlfriend was immediately attracted by the cars.
"This car is so beautiful!" his girlfriend, Xiaolan, said, her eyes shining.
He saw that there were over twenty cars displayed in the shop. Four models, countless colors.
That's right! Countless colors. Two SUVs and two small cars. There were only four types of models, but an infinite number of colors.
The color of the cars could actually change. Just like a gecko, they would change color according to the surrounding environment.
Girls had no resistance to beautiful things. Especially for something that could change colors like this, she couldn't even walk past it once she saw it.
Hu Gaoqi's expression turned grim. This was a feature only found in luxury cars worth millions, yet all of Feihuang Group's models had it!
This was killer! Surely these cars weren't cheap? Hu Gaoqi's heart was trembling.
Even if he sold himself, he probably couldn't afford one, right?
He hadn't expected that while Feihuang Group had always taken the mass-market route, they had gone all-out with their cars!
How much would this cost? Hu Gaoqi didn't even dare to look at the prices. When he finally did, he was shocked.
feihuang one was a small car priced at 40,000 yuan; it didn't look flashy, and apart from the color, everything else was ordinary.
Feihuang Two was an SUV priced at 50,000 yuan, also a very common type of model that would blend into a crowd of cars.
feihuang three was also a small car, priced at 100,000 yuan. The style was truly beautiful. It looked a bit like a Ferrari and a bit like a Lamborghini.
Feihuang Four was an SUV, priced at 120,000 yuan.
So cheap? Such a good-looking car, and it was actually this cheap. Then the configuration must not be high! That was fine, too.
He didn't care whether the car's configuration was high or not; as long as it could drive, that was enough.
He really hadn't expected that the paint on all of Feihuang Group's cars could change color. This was actually a standard feature.
His girlfriend couldn't move once she saw this car; she would definitely want to buy it. And they didn't need an SUV, so the money he had was enough! Hu Gaoqi was very excited.
His girlfriend, Xiaolan, wasn't interested in the configuration; she cared a lot about the color and appearance.
Hu Gaoqi immediately went up to ask the Feihuang Group salesperson. "Young man, how is this car?" "Can we take it for a test drive?" Hu Gaoqi asked.
The salesperson smiled: "You can test drive it." "Which one have you set your eyes on?"
"This one, this one!" Xiaolan immediately pointed to the one that looked like a Lamborghini.
Hu Gaoqi nodded with a smile and said generously: "Whatever you say, let's test drive this one!"
As long as the brakes didn't fail on this car, he was determined to book it today. He wouldn't give her a chance to change her mind.
Thinking this, Hu Gaoqi blurted out: "This car's color can actually change; the inside must be even better-looking, right?"
Sure enough, hearing him say that, Xiaolan became even more expectant about the interior.
The salesperson asked: "Do you have a driver's license?" "Yes!" Hu Gaoqi nodded.
The salesperson said: "Then follow me, I'll take you to test drive the car."
Xiaolan wanted to look at the car for a while; she wanted to see the interior decoration first.
Hu Gaoqi quickly said: "Xiaolan, don't look yet. The Feihuang Group staff are very busy; don't waste their time."
As he spoke, Hu Gaoqi signaled Xiaolan to look to the side. He saw that in just this short while, a large number of customers had swarmed in. Even more customers were being blocked outside.
If they didn't go for a test drive now, there might not be any spots left later.
Xiaolan immediately took Hu Gaoqi's hand: "Gaoqi, you are really so good to me!"
"If you buy this car, I'll talk to my mom and let you pay one hundred thousand less in bride price!"
She had been attracted by the car the moment she walked in and hadn't looked at the price yet. Although she hadn't seen the price, based on her common sense, this car must be very expensive.
Hu Gaoqi said he would buy it for her, and she was overjoyed.
"Xiaolan, you are truly so considerate!" Hu Gaoqi said this out loud, but felt very helpless inside.
Girls' requirements were too high these days. When he was young, he had fallen in love with a girl, and they had dated for two years.
They had reached the point of discussing marriage, but the woman's parents simply wouldn't agree. They insisted on forcing them to break up.
Later, his girlfriend cried as she married an older boss. That day, he swore that in this lifetime, he would definitely make something of himself.
After struggling in society for ten years, he was older now, and he had only managed to barely make something of himself.
If only he could work at Feihuang Group. It was a pity that he had missed it when Feihuang Group held their major recruitment drive.
If Feihuang Group held another major recruitment, he wouldn't miss it for anything!
At the test track, the salesperson took the two of them for a test drive. Upon entering the car, Xiaolan exclaimed. "This car is so beautiful," Xiaolan said in surprise.
The car doors hadn't been opened, and from the window, you couldn't see anything inside at all. But when sitting inside looking out, you could see everything clearly.
It was said that only relatively good cars would have such film applied. The salesperson said: "There is something even more beautiful."
He understood perfectly what women were thinking. He pressed a few buttons on the car, and the outside darkened. It was as if an invisible curtain had closed all the windows.
The salesperson said: "This car is completely soundproof, and after pressing the parking button, the car will be very stable."
"This is considering that sometimes when you are tired, you can lie down here and sleep."
As he spoke, the salesperson pulled a lever and reclined the passenger seat, turning it into a small bed. He shook it twice. The car didn't budge.
Hu Gaoqi's eyes lit up. It had this function too? Wouldn't that mean that once the windows were closed, this place would become a small room?
If he turned on the parking function, he wouldn't have to worry about it shaking no matter what—wouldn't that mean… he could get a good sleep?
Hu Gaoqi looked at Xiaolan. Xiaolan shyly lowered her head and gave Hu Gaoqi a little punch in the chest.
