Su Zelin has always been a man who does things in a hurry and will never hesitate once he makes a decision.
Two days later, he, Xiao Yangge and Kang Baohong appeared at a Volkswagen auto trade store in Shenghai.
It’s not a 4S store, Volkswagen doesn’t have this thing yet.
The first 4S store in China was owned by Honda. It opened in 1999 and was then called the First Authorized Sales and Service Store of Yangcheng Honda Automobile Company. It brought the "four-in-one" service model and concept for the first time.
However, the three men's target was not Honda, but Volkswagen.
Stepping into the sales hall of the auto trade store and looking at the brand new cars inside, Kang Baohong was shaking with excitement.
Which man doesn’t have a dream of having a small car
Which man doesn't yearn for speed and sex
However, private cars are too expensive, and such a dream is so luxurious and out of reach.
More than a year ago, Kang Baohong didn't even dare to think about it.
After all, he was still a small network administrator in an Internet cafe at that time, working late all day and only earning a few hundred yuan a month.
Even if you don't eat or drink, it will take more than ten years to buy the cheapest private car!
But a year later, I came to the auto trade store to pick up the car!
What’s more, what we are talking about is not an entry-level domestic car that costs tens of thousands of yuan, but the legendary Volkswagen, which costs at least one hundred thousand yuan!
So it would be a lie for Kang Baohong to say he wasn’t excited.
After learning from Su Zelin that he was going to Shenghai today, he even suffered from insomnia last night, tossing and turning all night.
However, General Manager Kang is still energetic and does not show any signs of fatigue due to insomnia.
This is what they call being in high spirits when good things happen.
"Welcome!"
As soon as I entered the door, a salesperson from the auto trade store came to greet me.
Xiao Yangge and Kang Baohong were dressed in suits. After New Century became a well-known digital store chain in Lin'an City, the two men also had a bit of momentum. With their branded clothes and mechanical watches, the salesmen thought they were bosses who were interested in picking up a car, rather than just wandering around, and greeted them enthusiastically.
As soon as Su Zelin saw that the salesperson was either a male or a female with average looks, he instantly lost interest.
Moreover, today he not only planned to come to pick up the car, but also to meet an "old friend".
"I'm just wandering around!"
After saying this, Su Zelin walked away.
He walked around the sales hall of the auto trade store, but all the salespeople he saw ignored him.
After all, he was just a kid and thought he was just here to watch the fun.
They are not the target group, so it would be a waste of time to greet them.
Su Zelin was not interested in them either, as they were not the old friends he was looking for.
I'm sure it's this auto trade store.
And she should be at work by now!
Is it just a coincidence that today is a day off
Just as the gangster was wondering, a female voice came from behind him.
"Hello, welcome!"
Hearing this familiar voice, a smile appeared on the corner of Hunzi's mouth.
This trip was not in vain!
Turning around, I saw a very young sales girl standing behind me.
She looked to be in her early twenties, in the prime of life, with black hair tied up in a bun, a pair of watery almond-shaped eyes, and the teardrop mole under the corner of the eye did not destroy the beauty of her facial features, but instead added a bit of charm.
She wore light makeup, and her curved eyebrows were obviously carefully trimmed, long and thin. Her cherry lips were painted with a light lip gloss, making them more vivid and moisturized, exuding a charming luster.
A set of women's business suit uniform tightly wrapped her slender figure. Her dress was slightly more mature than other girls of her age, but she was relatively immature compared to the female saleswomen in the auto trade store. Her fair and jade-like face was still childish.
Finally meet you!
Su Zelin let out a sigh of relief.
I was worried that I would fail.
The sales lady at this auto trade store was an old friend of his, and they had a very close relationship.
Song Yuwei.
A truly capable assistant!
He was the secretary when he was the boss in his previous life!
Everyone knows what a secretary does when something happens.
As a secretary and assistant, she perhaps spent more time with him than anyone else.
Not to mention that we meet all day long in the company, he is often by my side when I go out for social events or business trips.
Very capable, in both senses of the word.
In his previous life, Hunzi also met her when he bought his first car in this auto trade store.
At that time, he had just graduated and started his business not long ago, but his career had already shown obvious signs of growth.
The car was sponsored by his father. Su Jianjun was very open-minded and he felt that his son must have a car for his business.
Convenient and presentable!
Now the two of them have known each other for several years earlier.
This was the assistant's first job. He had been working here for three years. He resigned a few days after meeting Su Zelin and became his secretary, and then worked there for a long time.
Come to think of it, she had just arrived at the auto trade store not long ago, so she was not as experienced as other salespeople who specifically looked for targets who were capable and willing to buy.
But by chance, she found the right person, and her performance will soon be enhanced.
Even though we were each other's bedmate in the previous life, we haven't met each other yet.
Su Zelin smiled and said, "Haha, this is what you looked like when you were twenty!"
Song Yuwei: “?”
This guest's words are incoherent.
But the sales girl was a little surprised.
How did he know I was twenty
Many people can tell that Song Yuwei is only in her early twenties, but most people guess she is twenty-two because her temperament is more mature than her actual age.
Su Zelin also spoke with emotion, just a casual sigh, and then he said: "I want to see the car!"
"Yes, sir!"
Song Yuwei came back to her senses, smoothed her messy bangs, and asked casually, "I wonder what kind of car you're looking for first, such as price or other requirements?"
"Poussin!"
Su Zelin said without hesitation.
When it comes to buying a car in the early 2000s, the three essentials are always mentioned.
In the 1990s, when the economy and automobile market were far less prosperous than in later generations, the domestic economy improved and some wealthy people had begun to set their sights on private cars.
Three of these models have become favorites in the country's auto market, namely Dongfeng Peugeot Citroen, FAW-Volkswagen Jetta and Shenghai Volkswagen Santana.
Maybe today's new riders have rarely heard of the "old three", but veteran riders are well aware of the weight this term once represented.
Around the year 2000, they could only be described as household names.
The prototype of Shenlong Fukang is Citroen ZX. It was introduced in 1992. As it was the period when China was striving for a well-off society, it was named Fukang in the domestic market.
It pioneered the domestic hatchback car at that time. As one of the affordable foreign brand models, it helped many people realize their dream of owning a private car. Later, it was renamed Elysee, but unfortunately it had lost its glory by then.
Jetta is also recognized as a legendary car. It was introduced in 1991 and has accumulated sales of four million units. Such a number is incredible.
The Santana introduced in 1987 is even more awesome, with cumulative sales of over five million. It is loved by both companies and individuals. It was the undisputed leader in business sedans around the year 2000. It is almost a microcosm of automobile history.
Su Zelin planned to choose from the three, and had already set his target on Santana.
This car can be seen in every street and lane in China, as a government car, wedding car, taxi... It is also the first private car for countless well-off families in this era.
Most of the veteran actors who came to congratulate the New Century Finance Institute store and Zhejiang University store on their opening day drove Santana.
It fits with its external identity in the new century, while taking into account comfort and appearance, and is durable and worry-free.
Meeting these points is perfect at the moment, but you can't ask for too much, after all, the car models to choose from in this price range are very limited.
As the best-selling car and also an entry-level model, it is normal for customers to want to see the Peugeot, and Song Yuwei is not surprised.
"Sir, this way please!"
Song Yuwei led the way in front, wearing high heels, and slightly twisting her waist as she walked, which was quite pleasing to the eye.
Su Zelin was soon brought to a black three-box sedan.
Pusang is the abbreviation of ordinary Santana.
There is also an advanced version of Santana 2000, which has a thicker body, improved braking performance and comfort, less shaking engine, low wind noise, smooth shock absorption, fast acceleration, more space between the front and rear rows, and background instrument lights. In short, it is better than Pusang in all aspects, but the price is also tens of thousands more expensive. The lowest price of Pusang is 110,000, while the 2000 sells for 150,000.
For a manager, an entry-level Peugeot is more than enough to save face, so this level is very suitable.
Let Song Yuwei bring the key, start the car, check the nameplate, open the engine cover, check the anti-collision beam, listen to the engine sound, and try to shift gears smoothly...
Song Yuwei next to her was stunned.
When others come to look at a car, they really look at it at first. They usually walk around the outside of the car first, then sit in to feel the comfort of the seats and the interior and so on, and finally they inspect the car.
This handsome guy skipped the previous steps directly, and the vehicle inspection process was quite particular.
After a series of tests, Su Zelin confirmed that there was nothing wrong with the new car. He closed the hood and asked, "I want to test drive it, is that okay?"
"Ah, sure!" Song Yuwei came back to her senses: "But sir, please show us your ID card and driver's license. According to the rules, we have to register first!"
Driving without a license is definitely not allowed, not to mention that Su Zelin is so young, whether he has a driver's license is a question, she has to make sure of this first.
However, Song Yuwei's worries were unnecessary.
Su Zelin took out two documents from his pocket and stuffed them into Song Yuwei's hands.
He actually has a driver's license, it seems like he's serious about this...
I looked at his ID card and found out he was only eighteen and a half years old.
By this calculation, even if you apply for the test on the day you turn 18, it will take at most three or four months to get your driver's license.
Song Yuwei muttered to herself and took it to register.
After a while, he came back with a master from the Auto Trade City following him.
Because I have never encountered someone of Su Zelin's age test driving a car, to be on the safe side, it would be better to find an experienced driver to watch from the passenger seat. I am just a rookie and I am afraid I can't control myself!
The old master first helped drive the Peugeot out of the door, then sat in the passenger seat, while Song Yuwei sat in the back seat.
A few minutes later, on the test drive road near the Auto Trade City.
The old master and the sales girl looked at the guy in surprise as he skillfully shifted gears, accelerated and decelerated, braked suddenly and nodded to test the brake sensitivity.
Su Zelin's superb manipulation skills made both of them a little confused.
Many experienced drivers with more than ten years of experience don't seem to be so skilled and calm. His mentality is almost too relaxed. He doesn't have the nervousness and confusion of a novice on the road at all.
The Xia country requires one to be at least 18 years old to take a driver's license test. He has only had his license for a few months at most. How did he develop such skills
It is also possible that some people drive before taking the test, and there are a few such people.
However, even if you start driving at the age of fifteen or sixteen, it is impossible to be so good at it!
The old master couldn't figure it out. He was a little suspicious whether this kid was the Tianshan Tonglao who could regain youth.
Without the high tension of accompanying the rookie on a test drive, the old master felt relieved because he knew that this young guy's skills were definitely better than most of the salesmen in the store, and might even be better than his own.
After the test drive, we returned to the auto trade store and the master craftsman left to go about his business.
Su Zelin stepped down from the driver's seat without further ado. He patted the hood and said, "This is the one. Swipe the card!"
Um, it's sold out already
Su Zelin was so fast that the girl couldn't react for a while.
Moreover, the other party's tone was nonchalant, as if this three-box sedan was not a luxury item, but the kind that was equipped with two AA batteries.
Many wealthy people are excited when they buy a car for the first time.
Song Yuwei had never seen such an alternative person like Hunzi before.
In the eyes of a reborn person like Su Zelin, Santana is certainly not a luxury product.
In his previous life, he owned sports cars worth more than tens of millions. Any car in his villa garage was worth more than one million. Naturally, he would not be too interested in this kind of entry-level car from the public.
What's more, the cars of this era were too rough. Neither the body lines nor the interior were refined enough. They looked like a big iron box.
So for Su Zelin, it is just a means of transportation.
Of course, you can also use it to hold cups.
This thing is a luxury item nowadays. As long as you have a car, even the cheapest one can be used to hold cups!
The guy was too lazy to even bargain, and there were no discounts available from Volkswagen at the end of the year, so he just wanted to show off his generosity in front of his future capable secretary.
While going through the formalities, the two chatted casually.
For some reason, Song Yuwei found that this young man she met for the first time understood her thoughts very well and talked about topics that interested her most. It was like they were old friends who had known each other for many years and there was no feeling of strangers at all.
This made her very puzzled. After thinking about it, she realized that this was the first time they met today.
Half an hour later, the formalities were completed. Song Yuwei handed a stack of materials and car keys to Su Zelin, and told him to take them back and register the car himself. "Thank you, sir, and I wish you a happy car pickup!"
The hunzi took the materials and smiled, "Miss, can you give me your QQ and phone number? I have a lot of things I don't understand about cars, and I may need to ask you for help in the future."
Song Yuwei thought to herself, you are still a rookie, why do I feel that you are more experienced than any old driver!
But she still nodded gently: "Haha, of course!"
He was originally my customer, and he owned a car at such a young age. What's more, he looked very handsome and cool, a lot like my favorite Hong Kong actor Huang Zongze. The way he drove the Santana with one hand was also very cool. It was really hard to refuse him.
She quickly took out a pen, wrote down two numbers on a piece of paper, and handed it over.
Su Zelin took a casual look at it and put it in his pocket.
In fact, he remembered Song Yuwei's QQ number and mobile phone number. She had used these two numbers for more than ten years.
However, you still have to go through the process, otherwise when you suddenly add others as friends, they will be confused.
“Here’s my contact information!”
Su Zelin took out another business card from his pocket and put it in Song Yuwei's hand.
Song Yuwei took the business card with both hands and took a look at it. When she saw the line of words on it, her eyes lit up.
"Su Zelin, the manager of the New Century Flagship Digital Experience Center's Finance Institute branch. Wow, you are already a manager at such a young age. That's amazing!"
She spoke with admiration.
The name of this company sounds quite impressive, and it has branches, so it must be quite large.
"Haha, it's okay!"
Su Zelin smiled.
At this time, Brother Xiao Yang and Kang Baohong also came over.
The two of them were not as straightforward as Su Zelin when picking up the car. They looked at it for a long time before test driving it. Now they have just finished the negotiation with the salesperson, while Su Zelin has completed all the formalities.
They had already decided what car to buy. In addition to Su Zelin's Peugeot, there was also a Santana 2000 and a Passat.
After all, the positions are different, and the grades of official cars also vary.
At the price of Passat, you can grit your teeth and buy a low-end Audi A6, which is only a few tens of thousands more. However, Audi is too high-profile. Volkswagen is better, which is low-key but also impressive.
From Su Zelin's introduction, we learned that these two people are the general manager and boss of New Century.
However, Song Yuwei soon discovered something to her surprise.
The cars these two people bought were also bought by Su Zelin's credit card.
Not only that, the tone of voice when Yang Fen and Kang Baohong spoke to him was not like that of a superior speaking to a subordinate. Especially General Manager Kang, when he talked to the young man, his attitude and tone revealed a hint of respect.
I'm afraid he is not simple!
Su Zelin did it on purpose.
This little secretary from the previous life must be dug out in this life.
So I have to show my strength in front of her a little.
But many things are difficult to negotiate in the auto trade store, and Brother Yang and Kang Baohong quickly completed the procedures for picking up the car.
The moment he got the keys, Kang Baohong was overjoyed. Although it was a business car of the digital store, as long as he did not change jobs or leave, the car would always be his.
He caressed the body of the Santana 2000 lovingly, looking so intoxicated as if he had possessed a stunning beauty.
The rearview mirror is lit red, and taking photos is a necessary ritual. Then I sit in the driver's seat, start the engine, listen to the roar of the engine, and feel its wildness and passion.
There are also automatic doors and windows, leather seats and mahogany interior, just one word - luxurious!
So cool!
Before leaving the store, Song Yuwei found Su Zelin again.
The sales girl leaned over and half-lay on the car window, and her tone was obviously different.
"Manager Su, have a safe trip. Please keep in touch when you get back. I get off work at five o'clock every day, so you can call me anytime!"
This had the meaning of taking the initiative to show goodwill, and she also revealed some personal information intentionally or unintentionally while speaking.
I can call you at any time, which means I am still single and don’t have a boyfriend. Otherwise it would definitely not be so convenient.
Perhaps many people would think that Song Yuwei is a casual girl, but Su Zelin knows that she is not.
If one were to evaluate the character of the capable young secretary, Hunzi would give the following words: realistic, but not snobbish.
That’s right, Song Yuwei is quite realistic.
If you don't have some strength, she will be very polite to you while keeping a clear distance, but she will not look down on you just because you have no money. So she is realistic but not snobbish.
At the same time, she was a girl who was unwilling to be mediocre and had never planned to live an ordinary life from the beginning.
Even though she only graduated from a junior college, she always dreamed of making a name for herself one day.
But Song Yuwei knew very well that she couldn't rely on herself alone, and the shortcut to success was to find a noble person.
So after graduating from college, she chose to work in an auto trade store.
People who can afford Volkswagen are basically either rich or noble.
But Song Yuwei doesn't just stick to every rich person she sees.
She has high standards. She would never consider an old man with a big belly and a stomach full of fat, even if he is rich.
Song Yuwei is targeting young and promising business elites with a good business sense. It would be best if she could become an important part of this man's career rather than a canary in a cage.
Only in this way can you be considered to have truly succeeded.
She made her choice very carefully and waited for a long time. In her previous life, until Su Zelin appeared, she realized that this man was the potential stock she had been waiting for.
He is young, rich, smart, handsome, and has a funny personality. He is simply perfect.
After careful consideration, Song Yuwei decided to bet her life on him, and soon resigned and left with Hunzi.
She was not wrong.
Su Zelin gave her almost anything she wanted.
Money, career, status.
What you give back to the other person is your own ability and beauty.
Su Zelin was also quite surprised when he found out that he was Song Yuwei's first man.
Moreover, with the rich experience of the mixed man, it is not a late-stage remedy.
Song Yuwei was also very frank, claiming that she did have the plan to find a rich man a long time ago, but she either didn't want to find one, or she would find the best man who could give her a career and status, and preferably a handsome and charming man, and then be with him for the rest of her life.
Su Zelin is such a man.
The gangster doesn't like snobbish women, but he is realistic and doesn't mind them.
How many women are unrealistic? In the future, when you meet for a blind date, the people will directly ask you if you have a car and a house, and whether your parents are both dead.
Even in this era, little white flowers like Qin Shiqing and Huang Panpan are still quite rare.
The more such a white flower there is, the less likely the scoundrel will dare to be a scumbag.
Su Zelin's eyes fell on the nameplate on Song Yuwei's chest, which was pressing against the car window, and his heart felt slightly warmed.
It seems that Song Yuwei has already set me as her target.
But there is a saying that goes, a good hunter always appears as the prey.
No matter how high you climb, little secretary, you can only be second to none.
And I am the person above you!
Speaking of which, among so many lovers in his previous life, he and Song Yuwei might be the most compatible.
This girl yearns for a high-quality material life, as well as a certain level of power and status, and to be spiritually satisfied.
From the moment she decided to follow Su Zelin, Song Yuwei understood that such a man would always be surrounded by beautiful women, and she did not expect to have him all to herself, so she was open-minded.
Therefore, both parties don’t even need a running-in period.
There is no such thing as being a scumbag.
Anyway, everyone is willing and gets what they need.
Faced with a girl with this kind of personality, a gangster who has been reborn with a conscience will not feel too much guilt.
Besides, Song Yuwei is also very capable and is my right-hand man in my career.
Of course he must find her back in this life.
"Miss, maybe we'll meet again soon!"
Before starting the car and leaving, Su Zelin left such a meaningful words, which made Song Yuwei stand at the door of the store for a long time, watching the dust raised by the Santana as it drove away.
…
