Chapter 4 Used Cars

The program was recorded in Canada's no-man's land. Apart from food, the biggest enemy is the cold weather, but for Zhang Chi, this is considered a yarn.

On the first day of the official opening of the program, he knocked a moose to death with a gourd, pretended to be the one he picked up, and dragged it back to the camp. With food, he dug a cellar. Northerners may know that the house is almost built underground, and its main feature is insulation.

After the cellar was built, Zhang Chi began to weave fishing baskets, and every day these fish baskets made of rattan could provide Zhang Chi with three or four five or six kilograms of fish.

After a month of recording the program, others lost at least ten pounds, and Zhang Chi only lost half a pound. When a heavy snow fell, Zhang Chi almost didn't get out of the cellar because the food he stored now could save at least three or four months.

They are surviving in the wilderness, but they go there to be Maodong!

Who can play with him? Although there are two people in the program team who are quite strong, there is no suspense about the final bonus.

When the temperature reached more than minus 20 degrees Celsius, the remaining last groups also began to lose their staff quickly, because these so-called wild survival experts built shelters on the ground, which was as warm as Zhangchi's cellar.

When the program team took him out, the kid was a little unhappy and said to the other person: This is the end, there is no challenge, SO EASY!

The director of the program team almost turned green.

Get 500,000 steadily!

However, when Zhang Chi really got the 500,000 yuan, he cursed in his heart, because he only got a little over 200,000 yuan, and the rest?

All the rest were paid taxes.

I said I had made 500,000 yuan, but in fact, after paying the tax, I could only have more than 200,000 yuan left, less than half of it.

However, this 200,000 is only enough for Zhang Chi to struggle for the time being.

When he returned to Folson, Zhang Chi arranged to buy a ranch.

I have 300,000 yuan in hand, but it is not easy to buy a good ranch. The ranch here is low, far lower than the average level in the United States, which is more than 4,000 US dollars per acre, and almost 2,000 US dollars per acre.

If it is full, Zhang Chi can only buy one hundred acres of money. In fact, one hundred acres is not small. One acre is equivalent to six acres in China, almost six acres.

But Zhang Chi didn't want this. He planned to buy a larger ranch. He couldn't buy all the 300,000 yuan he had, because after buying the ranch, the money was still there, such as buying calfs and farm machinery, but it cost money.

What should I do if I don’t have enough money? Find a bank, so what else can I say?

After returning to Folson after receiving the bonus, Zhang Chi began to look at ranches of all sizes under the guidance of the intermediary, watching one of them a day, and for almost a month.

Finally, a ranch entered Zhang Chi's vision.

The main reason for looking at this area is that it is cheap, and the pasture of more than 500 acres costs only 560,000 yuan.

There is a reason for the cheapness. There is nothing on this pasture, and there is not even a pit for shit except for the surrounding fences, let alone buildings like houses and cowsheds.

Of course, the terrain of this price is also very varied, almost seventy or eighty kilometers away from the current Folson, and is between the mountains of the Rocky Mountains.

Originally, this small ranch was part of the large ranch. After the bank got the ranch, it demolished the entire ranch into several portions, and sold the best ones at a higher price. This is the most biased ranch with nothing, and the price was reduced.

Banks often do this kind of operation because the larger the ranch, the less money it will be distributed per acre. The reason is that there are few target customers in the ranch. Those who can buy a ranch with thousands of dollars will not go to the mountains of Rocky Mountain to exchange it. Isn’t it nice to buy a ranch directly on the big plain?

So Zhang Chi fell in love with this ranch at a glance, mainly because the land price is cheap, and secondly, there are no outsiders coming to the place, so he can hide it.

After deciding on the ranch, Zhang Chi's next task was to go to the bank. This was not an easy task. Many banks were unwilling to lend Zhang Chi to such a loan because they had doubts about his credit rating.

This is the case with the grandsons of the bank. They like to lend to those who don’t have much pressure to repay. People like Zhang Chi have always been in a Chinese restaurant before, and people suspect that you can’t afford to pay back the money.

After the bank here gives you a loan, if you cannot repay the payment, then they can only take away your credit. No matter how much the money you bought and the money you owe, the lender doesn’t have to pay back the remaining money, so the bank is very strict with customers.

Usually the down payment is about 20%, but when you get to Zhang Chi, it will be changed to 30%. In this way, Zhang Chi still spent a month, and with the help of his uncle, he got the money from a small bank.

After the handover was completed, it was already April and spring was beginning. Zhang Chi officially transformed into a small rancher.

This is just the beginning, and it will cost money to buy a cow and build a house.

For Zhang Chi, the first step is to change the car. If you use his newly bought ranch, it is obviously not possible to use his current Xiao Hyundai, because the last two miles to the ranch is not a road at all. It is just a newly opened earth road that can only accommodate a car. It is obviously inappropriate to take a car such a road, and the most practical one is naturally a pickup truck.

Early in the morning, Zhang Chi drove his own little Hyundai out of the apartment and headed straight for the second-hand car dealer.

There are not many used car dealers in Folson, only two, and the two are next to each other. I don’t know what these foreigners think.

When he arrived at the car dealer's gate, he found a parking space to stop the car. Zhang Chi drove off and began to look at the car.

The used cars here are almost all parked in the open air, not without exhibition halls. Generally speaking, there are new cars in the exhibition halls, and they have to be more expensive. The general cars are placed outside, and the car dealers who are exposed to the wind and sun don’t care.

Come here to change the car, Zhang Chi has a budget in mind and wants to spend about 20,000 US dollars to buy a second-hand pickup truck in good condition.

I originally thought that my budget was already very strong, but who knew that after looking around, I found that the price of second-hand cars was actually rising, which was six or seven thousand US dollars faster than when my uncle exchanged a pickup truck, and it was almost 40,000 yuan in total. Zhang Chi felt trembling when he saw it.

I originally thought about buying a car for two or three years, but now I see the price, so I can only put my own requirements down.

“What can help you?”

After watching Zhang Chi turn for a while, a white salesman came over and greeted Zhang Chi.

"I want to see a pickup truck. If it requires more horsepower, the price will be cheaper," said Zhang Chi.

"What is your budget?" asked the white guy.

Zhang Chi said: "Within US$20,000."

"Then come with me to see." When the white guy heard this, he led Zhang Chi to see the pickup truck that was less than 20,000 yuan.

Zhang Chi was a little confused when he saw the car, because the white guy took him to see Takuma, a Toyota brand pickup truck, which is a value-preserving tool in the US market.

But Zhang Chi doesn't like it. It's not that he rejects Toyota or something, but that he wants to buy an affordable one. You can take us to see what the value preservation tool does.

"Look at something else."

A good guy has a car for six or seven years, and it costs more than 20,000 yuan. The value-preserving artifact is really not something to cover.

Next, the white guy took Zhang Chi to see a few more models, and he was not satisfied with Zhang Chi, who had just transferred to the car market a few months ago.

The same car was cheaper in the past few months, and Zhang Chi couldn't overcome the hurdle. He always felt that it was a bit worth it. Should I wait a few months and the price would fall back to its original price? You should know that six or seven thousand dollars are not small numbers for Zhang Chi.

After politely speaking with the guy, Zhang Chi was about to go home. He wanted to change a good car, but his pocket was not good.

Although he still has a small head left in his pocket for $100,000,000, which one does not cost money to build a house? If he spends a lot of money on the car, he has to save money elsewhere, so Zhang Chi can't help but sting.

Back to the parking lot, I opened the door and prepared to get on the bus.

"That, that...".

Just as Zhang Chi was about to get on the bus, he suddenly heard someone talking. He subconsciously turned his head and found that the person who was talking seemed to be aimed at him, and the person who was talking was obviously an Asian person.

Turning around, he found that there was no one beside him. Zhang Chi asked, "Are you talking to me?"

At this moment, the Asian who was talking came over and asked Zhang Chi: "Are you the one who participated in the wilderness survival program...Zhang..."

After Zhang for a long time, this person didn't give Zhang the word Chi.

"Hello, my name is Zhang Chi, and I am the one who participated in the show," said Zhang Chi.

"I look like you, let's use Chinese, I'm from China too."

This guy is quite enthusiastic.

Zhang Chi thinks he has met fans?

"Hello, hello," said Zhang Chi.

"You performed so well in the show. At first we thought you were the one who gave you a hairpin, but who knew you were the king..."

This man caught Zhang Chi and praised him.

Now Zhang Chi has reacted, not to this person, but to how the program team chose his own. It sounds a bit wrong. Asians have stereotypes in the American media, one is nerds, and the other is funny. Asians like funny are usually short and fat on the show, and they are vulgar and as soon as they appear, they are vulgar.

Zhang Chi looks quite suitable from the outside. She is a bit fat and not tall. As soon as she appears, many people think that Zhang Chi is a so-called man, including many Asians. However, after half of the show, Zhang Chi has laid an advantage, which makes many Asians feel that she has given up a breath and is considered to be a glory for Asians.

Especially when Zhang Chi finally came out to face the camera, he said: so easy! It made many Asians feel imposing.

Zhang Chi actually didn't care about these things, he just cared about his bonus. As for Asian Light, he didn't care.

What do ordinary people at the bottom do to do with so many stupid things?

"It's normal," Zhang Chi said politely.

"Why is it so good? It's great. You make those groups look like stupid coins... Oh, by the way, I forgot to introduce myself. My name is Li Qiao, you can call my English name Qiao."

This is quite talkative.
