Section 38 Buying a Car
The call Zhou Ziyan received was from Xia Mingzhu. She came back from the construction site and called him in advance. After finishing, she asked him to wait for her at the second exit of the second phase of the construction site. She drove out.
After seeing off Kim Soo-se and Le Xiaotao, Zhou Ziyan went back to the office to clean up, and then took out his cell phone after seeing nothing missing.
The second phase of the construction site is quite large. Zhou Ziyan walked through the huge building complex in Jinhuyuan. The main body of the second phase of the construction site has been completed. Now the projects such as exterior wall tiles and paint are carried out. The passages and greening between buildings have been completed. The green belt is particularly beautiful. The greening of a community is firstly attractive.
The second phase of the construction site has not yet been submitted for acceptance, so the current safety management of entry and exit is from the construction company. No one knew Zhou Ziyan in the past. The security guard only carries in and out. Of course, those with carts still need to be inspected, and those who are clean and leave are ignored.
When Zhou Ziyan went out, the security guard only glanced at him and continued to play with his cell phone. This door was just an attached door, not the main pass, so there were not many people and cars entering and leaving, so the security guard was relatively idle.
On the side of the road outside the door, Xia Mingzhu's car was parked on the side, which was very eye-catching. The red Porsche Paramela could not help but look at it.
Zhou Ziyan walked over and thought he had to wait, but saw the car window slowly lowering, revealing Xia Mingzhu's gorgeous face, but she wore dark sunglasses, her red lips and white teeth were quite eye-catching.
This is the first time I took Xia Mingzhu's car. Zhou Ziyan walked to the other side and opened the car door and got in. Xia Mingzhu chose the sports mode, with the air hanging at the lowest point, and when she sat in the seat, she almost felt like she was "lying".
When Xia Mingzhu lifted the glass up, the roar of the car became much smaller, and the sound insulation effect was very good. However, this is a sports car, and the engine displacement is much larger than that of a normal car. When Xia Mingzhu stepped on the accelerator, the sound was heard through the window, which was very "surging".
Zhou Ziyan quickly tied the seat belt, thought about it, then reached out to the top of his head and held the handrail.
Xia Mingzhu let out a "pop": "What are you doing? I'm not racing, why are you doing so nervous?"
Zhou Ziyan smiled, loosened his hand, and said with a smile: "Mr. Xia, I have no prejudice against you. I just heard... Haha, I heard that female drivers in China are killers..."
Xia Mingzhu couldn't help but smile and said, "This rumor is true. Indeed, there are many female drivers in China who are road killers, but don't be afraid. I have been driving for more than five years and have not had an accident yet."
Zhou Ziyan's expression of relief made Xia Mingzhu laugh again. After a moment, he asked him: "What about abroad? You have lived abroad for so long. How about the female drivers abroad?"
Zhou Ziyan thought about it and replied: "Foreign women are driving. Actually, I think it's okay. Foreign women are relatively independent. Many divorced single women do everything themselves. Housework is one aspect. Women don't do many domestic work, especially hard work. In foreign countries, most women do their own work. For example, if the tires are broken, they change tires, women do their own work. Of course, foreign women are mainly engaged in driving skills. The driving license test must be tested according to the procedures prescribed by the law. Those who can pass the exam basically have the technical standards."
Xia Mingzhu nodded: "Yes, haha, I won't talk about me anymore. Domestic female drivers usually drive foolishly. They only drive without car care. After driving to the prescribed mileage, they go to the 4S store to maintain their maintenance. All the problems are left to the 4S store to complete. I don't know any problems with the car, and I don't even know where the wiper water is added, let alone changing tires!"
When Zhou Ziyan saw Xia Mingzhu teasing her, she smiled and didn't respond. After all, this leader was a little capricious and cunning. Don't provoke her easily. When he touched Ni Lin, he would be unhappy.
Xia Mingzhu said while driving: "You choose a car worth 300,000 or 400,000 yuan. Actually, I don't know how to understand the car. Let me talk to a friend I know first and see what recommendations to give."
Zhou Ziyan spread his hands and signaled to listen to her.
Xia Mingzhu pressed the button on the steering wheel, which was a language control function, and then said a person's name, and the Bluetooth function automatically dialed the number.
"Xiao Lin, I, Xia Mingzhu..."
"Oh, it's Mr. Xia, why did you call me? I remember you bought a Porsche Paramela?"
After all, he is a car salesman. When she calls her, she thinks she is buying a car. If she doesn’t buy a car, she won’t call her.
Xia Mingzhu smiled and said, "You, you can't call if you don't buy a car? Well, I won't have much trouble with you. That's it. I have a friend who wants to buy a car, so I call you for consultation first."
Xiaolin said with a "uh" and said in a different tone: "Sorry, Mr. Xia, I am no longer at the BMW store, I am now working in the Ford 4S store, and now I am doing sales. Your friends must buy high-end cars when buying cars. I cannot meet your friends' standards, but I can call to introduce them and let my former friends..."
"No, it's just you." Xia Mingzhu said with a smile, "My friend wants a car worth 300,000 or 400,000 yuan. In his words, it is power, space, and quality. Please introduce it."
Xiao Lin immediately replied happily: "Okay, at this price, our Ford happens to have a car, Edge SUV, the top-end version is 449,000, with large space and strong power. Ford is an old American car company. After years of technical accumulation, the quality needs to be mentioned."
"Okay, you tell me the address, we will arrive in a while." Xia Mingzhu asked Xiaolin's address, and then went there directly. While driving, she introduced to Zhou Ziyan: "It's a friend I have known for several years. He is He Xiaolin. She has done real estate sales. Later, when she was doing car sales, I bought this car with her, but she sold BMWs. The car was made by the boss of their store with their relationship. Unexpectedly, she went to Ford. It's just right for you. BMWs of 400,000 yuan can't buy the car you want. BMWs at this price are basically low-end and have low cost performance."
It is not far from the address that He Xiaolin mentioned, and it is not far from the BMW car that Xia Mingzhu used to buy cars. The car shops basically concentrate on this street.
The Ford 4S store is relatively large. After the car drove in, there was a long row of parking spaces in front of the store. Many licensed cars were parked, including several new Ford cars, but more of the inventory cars were at the back of the store.
The store is full of transparent glass walls, and it is clear that there are many display vehicles parked inside.
As soon as Xia Mingzhu drove in, the guests who were looking at the car inside came to see the door. Many clerks also ran out to see the car. Good cars were so charming. Of course, the car was more beautiful. When Xia Mingzhu reversed into the parking space, several male clerks came to help look around.
He Xiaolin also came out and called out by the car: "Sister Mingzhu."
On the phone, he called "Mr. Xia", and when he arrived, he called "Sister Mingzhu", which seemed much more intimate and familiar.
He Xiaolin looks a little thin at the age of 23 or 24, and looks pretty and attractive, but compared with Xia Mingzhu, it is naturally a big difference.
Xia Mingzhu parked the car, and Zhou Ziyan got off the car almost at the same time as her. He Xiaolin quickly called to the store. She didn't ask what car she wanted, and quickly poured the tea over. After sitting down, she asked: "Sister Mingzhu, is this... your boyfriend? She's so handsome. Just look at the Ruijie. There's a top-end exhibition car in the store, you can take a look."
A hint of resentment flashed across Xia Mingzhu's face and said, "Xiaolin, don't talk nonsense, he is not my boyfriend."
He Xiaolin also felt Xia Mingzhu's unhappiness and stretched out her tongue. However, before she could speak, Zhou Ziyan said: "Ms. He, I am an employee of President Xia and her soldier. You can't lift me up. I don't think she will agree to a talent like President Xia!"
Zhou Ziyan didn't feel embarrassed, and laughed at him for a few words, but instead relieved Xia Mingzhu's unhappy siege.
After hearing what Zhou Ziyan said, Xia Mingzhu smiled, but was still very satisfied with his words. She pointed to the cars in the store, and then told He Xiaolin: "Xiaolin, I have brought the person. Please ask what standard you want to have the best to have in-person talks."
He Xiaolin quickly nodded and asked Zhou Ziyan: "Sir, then you can talk about it first."
"Mr. Xia told you on the phone before, basically that's it. What I value more is power, space, quality, and these three standards." Zhou Ziyan answered while considering it, "If I am idle, I like to go to the wild countryside to climb rock climbing and hiking, and do sports. The roads that the car needs to take are some off-road performance, and the second is that it needs strong power and cargoes, such as tent food, so the car space is also large. In addition to these points, the quality is also very annoying. It's a headache to repair the car every few days."
He Xiaolin immediately nodded and said affirmatively: "Then this is exactly your standard. If the power of a car of the same type, I think no other model can reach this level except the Edge. This car has a 2.7 displacement, a turbocharged, 245 kilowatts, and the acceleration time from zero to one hundred yards only takes 7.5 seconds. This power almost reaches the level of BMW X5X6."
Zhou Ziyan has been in the United States for many years, so how could he not be familiar with American cars? After hearing He Xiaolin's words, he didn't say much, and stood up and asked her: "Do you have a test drive? I want to test drive and then consider what model I want."
"Yes, but it's not the top-end model, but the V6 four-wheel drive sports model. Except for the different configurations, the power is exactly the same, and the few are only luxurious configurations, such as the second row of electric seats, adaptive cruise, 360 panoramic images, etc., which are the highest technological configurations, and the feeling is the same when you drive it."
